prints Charleston dispatch announcing that State
Auditor John s. Darst admits he thinking of becoming
aspant The Republican gubernatOraI nomination
No one win be surprised at this AS matter of fact it
has been assumed for some time that Mr. Darst would
be candidate But there is surprise in the stand he
takes and every Republican who at all interested in the
prospects of the party years elections indeed good
citizens Of all parties should make it point to read what
Mr. Darst has TO say as set forth in our report from
Charleston.
Mr.. Dafst may not be the choice Of the Republican
voters at the primaries year, but the Straightforward
way in which he has announced himself upon the issues

nsyed expression of writers of politics. burning issues
was more just6ed-vill put the primary campaign not
only in the Republican party but in all the parties upon
footing which will require those who hope to be import
factors to be both frank and courageous Auditor
Darst, it may almost be said, has fixed the issue of the
primary campaign and very large extent of the cam
paign which will precede the regular election next fall
There will be ether issues than those mentioned by Mr.
Darst in the primary campaign, and it is probably true if
the field at all large the nomination will turn on these
minor issues but upon the matter which will be upper

among the politicians of the state hoped to have it otherwise
1t is not necessary for The West Vgnan at this late
day to explain that it going to attempt to tell the
Republican voters who they should nominate next year
From the beginning have consistently taken the position
that the purpose Of the state wide primary act is to throw
this responsibility upon the shoulders of the voters them
selves and that shall willingly support any ticket placed
in nomination that way. We are therefore, not going

The Society For The Making of
Virtue Compulsory was in executive
session. Plans for the conduct OF hui
manity for the year 1921 were being
discussed. 1t was a bitter fight be-
tween the radicals who demanded that
men be allowed to eat ice cream three
times year and the conservatives
who insisted that person should be
permitted four portions in a twelve
month.
At last a compromise was effected
and 1t was decreed that a man might
eat three portions of ice cream and
five toasted marshmallows during a
year.

ONE REASON FOR HIGH COST

HE United States Department of Agriculture has
! given out farm food figures which make it clear
that not little Of the increased of things we eat goes
into the growers purse.
Food prices on the farms have doubled in less than ten
years. In 1910 wheat growers got IS cents bushel
bushel the average bushel brings $I76. Potatoe,
went from 40 certs the buhel to $l28 Sweet potatoes
from IS cents to $3.50 Apples went for 81 cents
in 1910 and nine years later sold for $197 in the or
chard Then butter makers got D cents pound; now
the average price paid on the farm AZ cents Eggs scared
from Is cents 10 SO DOZEN and chickens from
cents to Is cents pound.
Nearly all farm products have doubled in value to the
producer within the past nine years. That may be why
there less rural criticism of the high cost of food than one
meets with in cities, where wages and salaries have not
doubled since 1902

The actors all stopped in the mid
die Of their lines and looked expect
antly toward the wings. There was
slight hustle (this had nothing to do
with the costumes, which were all
modern) there was slight hustle and
the second shift came on and In few
minutes the play was going on as be-
fore but with an entirely nsw cast.
The wives all belonged to a union.
John Henry came rushing home from
work with only a few minutes in which
to grab bite to eat, change clothes
and get back to an important meeting
The house looked deserted, he thought
as he came up the front steps. "oh,

hall.
"Yes, dear?" she answered
Mary, I'm in an awful hurry. Want

Under the leadership of Senator Knox the opponents
in the senate of the League Nations are going to
make campaign in the western states in order to work
up popular opposition to ratification of the peace
treaty. That perfectly legitimate movement There
is not Abe slightest in raying this treaty unless the
ratification carries with the support Of the
of the American people Whatever action is taken in
the matter is going to have profound effect upon the
future of the country and it only fair that the senate
should have the support of the people in whatever they
