The LEGISLATURE.

Governor Carnwell has asked the
Legislature in the session to convene
next TUESDAY to enact a law prorid-
ing for a state constabulary. 1t is
we'll known that since the National
Guard was modified for service in
the Hun war West Virginia has had
no state police or military force. AS
was to be expected. in our time Of
stress, when all were working to the
utmost, there were no disturbances.
But now there is an unrest. Some of
the new doctrines that are distrub-
ing the nations across the sea are
bidding for place among US. These
doctrines Cannot be argued with.
Acceptance by any considerable body
OF people means destruction Of es-
tablished conditions. and the destruc-
tion of property and life.
Law abiding peple are not afraid
Of an intelligent and honestly gov
erned police force.
The National Guard will not be
again organized. 1t was inefficient
Tor either state guard work or for
military purposes. The State must
not be left helpless. Crime must be
prevented and criminals punished.
Not only must property andp roper
~ rights be protected, but the
lives OF our people must be made
the sacred care Of the state, A State
Constabularly Of the rank and quail
~ OF the Texas Rangers or of the
Northwest Mounted Police of Canada
will add UNNECESSARILY to the dig
nifty OF the law and TO the security of
he~people Of the State.

THE MIDLAND TRAIL.

The James River and Kanawha
Turnpike to Charleston and then ex-
tendent to the' Ohio is the great
cross-state highway known as the
Midland Trail. It's completion
means as much to the State now as
did the completion Of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio railroad. On the
way from the west and middle west
to the south West Virginia stands in
the way. and the route is around
three sides Of the State.
The Federal authorities have in
dictated that at least rs per cent of
the Federal aid money appropriated
to the counties through which this
road passes shall be applied on the
Midland Trail until 1t is completed.
Greenbrier county Is making some
little progress. This year will see
the completion Of this road from the
top of the Allegheny mountain to the
Central School House. From there
west to the Fayette line are the
weary miles of mud and rocks.
, Fayette County is making pro-
gress If the proposed bond issue in
Mountain Cove district to provide
for 8 miles in that district carries,
then Fayette county will. in all prob
ability see the entire Midland Trail
through that county graded and sur
faced before the end Of 1921.

WHAT FOR?

The County Court may lay a 80
cent County and road levy under the
law as it has been up to this time.
InGreenbrier County more than one
half of this fund has been used for
road purposes. In the other counties
OF the state from 40 to so per cent Of
this fund has been used in building
and maintaining roads and bridges.
But at the session of the legislature
which came to an end the past week,
the State Tax Commissioners office
prepared and had passed Senate Bill
IL which permits the courts to levy
80 cent county levy, no part Of
which can be used for roads or bridg-
es. So far DIS the Tax Commissioners
Office is concerned, the district roads
are unimportant just so it is made
easier for his Office to audit county
accounts. What the courts are going
TO do with all the county fund now
permitted under this new law is not
known.

by the great notions of the world.

by the great nations Of the world.
But Roosevelt went further in mis-
discussion. and. while he was not Of
the opinion that such q league
would bring perfect Justice" he was
Of the opinion that it would make
an fmmeasurable advance on any
thing now existing. He wrote:
"O1 course. If there were not reas-
enable good faith among the nations
making such an agreement it would
fail. But it would not fail merely
because one nation did not observe
good faith. 1t would be impossible
to say that such an agreement would
at once and permanently bring uni
versal peace, but it would certainly
mark an important advance. It
would certainly mean that the chan
ces OF war were minimized and the
prospects of limiting and confining
and regulating war immensely in
creased. AT present, force, as rep
resented by the armed force of each
! ration. IS wholly divorced from such
instrnmcntalities for securing peace
rs int irrational agreements and
treaties. In consequence, the latter
are practically impotent in a great
crisis.
Such a scheme as the one briefly
outlined will not bring perfect justice
any more than under municipal law
we obtain perfect Justice. but it will
mark an immeasurable advance on
anything now existing, for It will
mean that at last long stride has
been taken in the effort to- put the
collective strength of civilized man
kind behind the collective purpose Of
mankind to secure the peace of righ-
among the nations of the earth
The Colonel almost exhausted the
subject in the remark that 1t would
to a marked degree put the collec-
| tive strength Of mankind behind the
collective strength of mankind be-
hind the collective purpose of man
kind" to bring peace on earth.
We will all agree that Theodore
Roosevelt was a patriot and was hon
est in his desire to put an end to the
fearful carnage and devastations OF
war disgraceful to the civilization
| of the age. Now let Republicans like
Cur esteemed contemporary, the West
Virginia News, which sees in Roose-
welt the greatest man of his day, Off
set the spiteful, not to say partisan
opposition of a few Republican Sena-
tors with this clear and unequivo-
cal endorsement OF the league by Mr..
Roosevelt, the man whose opinions
they have ever been SO ready to &C
cept.

ROOSEVELT ON A WORLD LEAGUE.

From time to time references have
heen made to the fact that Theodore
Roosevelt favored world league,
and actual denial has been made
since references to the fact were
made a few days ago by Sena tor
Hitchcock in debate in the Snate.
The truth is that Theodore Roose-
welt in an article published in the
New York Times on October Is,
1914, advocated a strong league and
accor 1iEg 10 his expires sed views, not
unlike the League of Nations now
established. waiting for the ratifica-
ton Of the nations. a party to the
agreement.
Colonel Roosevelt wrote:
The one permanent move for OBJ
tanning peace which mas been sug-
gested, with any reasonable chance
Of attaining its object, Is by an agree
ment among the great nations in
which each should pledge itself not
only to abide by the decisions Of
common tribunal, but to back with
force the decision Of the common
tribunal. The great civilized nations
Of the world which do possess force,
actual or Immediately potential.
should combine by solemn agreement
in a great world league for the peace
Of Righteousness. A court should be
created changed and amplified
Hague court would meet the re-
quirements-compo of representa-
tives of each nation; these repre-
sentatives being sworn to act in each
case as judges, pure and simple, and
not in representative capacity. The
nations should agree on certain
rights which should not be question
cd, such rs territorial integrity, their
rights to deal with their own domes-
tic affairs, and with such matters
as whom they should or should not
admit to residence and citizenship
within their own borders"
1t will be noticed that Roosevelt
used the words. n great world
league" and surely the skeleton OF
his proposed league is. not wholly
unlike the one created at Versailles

SOME OF The CONSEQUENCES.

Because of filabuster organized
by certain senators because of a de-
sire to create a party issue, Congress
has adjourned without passing the
army and navy appropriation bills.
the general deficiency bills, the agri-
culture appropriation bill, and has
left the country TO go to the devil so
far as they are concerned. Railroads
are left helpless. Many accounts for
supplies and equipment for railroads
have not been paid since last Sep
tember. No money has been provid-
cd for the payment of these bills,
and the business Of the country is
tied up and hampered at the time
when 1t NEST sadly needed help. The
country was recovering nicely from
abnormal conditions. business was
looking up. and taking on cheer
full tone. Trade orders were increas-
ing rapidly, and goods were on the
move. II will require great opt,m-
ism in the business world If failures
and panicky conditions do not follow
as result Of the utter and absymal
idiocy and smallnesS of partisan SEN
atoTS.
Drunk with the promise of DOW
or that a majority in both houses
will give them, and incensed be-
cause it has been given to the Presi-
dent to lead the thought of the ma
lions of the world and to crystalline
the policies Of the nations, these Sem
ators sought to force the President to
call special session of Congress i'm
niediately. They wanted such
session that they might exercise their
new power to the limit to embarrass
and hamper the administration and
that they might keep the President
from taking further part in the Peace
conference, and that they might
,1ake up the issue for TIE next cleo.
tion. The President wisely returns
TO the place where he is most needed
and where he can do the mostfor
humanity. Thirty-seven Republican
Senators have served notice on the
world that they will not support the
League of Nations. 1t Is the most
shameful thing that has happened
in America since the days of Bene-
Gict Arnold The peoples of the
world want a lasting peace. They
are tired of wars and wars alarms.
They are heartsick over the losses
{ nd suffering and woes Of war. Trea-
ties Of amity, association by nations
10 maintain the balance Of power
these things have failed. The world
IS ripe, as it will not be again until
I he end OF the next war; for an asso-
citation Of the democratic nations to
enforce peace. Here in America
men whom the generations to come
will despise happen to be III position
TO say to all the world. "let war con-
tinue."
America has received grievous
hurt at their hards But the League
If Nations will be confirmed by the
Senate Of the United States. There
Is no room for partisan politics in
This matter. When tho people OF
America realize what these mon are
attempting they will SO speak to them
hat they will be grateful for the
opportunity to approve the League
If Nations. They will find the excuse
for 40 doing And, in time, men
bow In public life in America, will
regret the record made by them in |
he past ten days as the blackets, |
lamnable thing in all the world.
