THE CAMPAIGN oE 1920.

el elAVID LAWRENCE, of the New York Evening
Post who spent some time on The other side about
the tune the Peace congress convened has been writing
since his retum series of articles in which he has been
telling something Of what he heard and saw and in recent
article he mentioned the fact that the soldiers Of the Amer.
lean Expedition are exceedingly interested politics and are
discussing the prospects for 1920 in manner which ndi-
quite plainly that they conscious of the possibilities
Of the soldier vote in that contest That natural enough
ii. young Americans but Mr. Lawrence too good re-
porter to let it escape him that the in the army are
talking Of possible soldier candidates while the statesman
type leads in the political talk he has heard since he got
back home
Here we have situation which is going to make the
campaign Of next year one of the most interesting in the
political history of the country, and if it does not result in
the utter confusion and defeat of the old line politicians of
both old parties the result will be nothing short of amazing
For the present the stay at home politicians have the adj
vantage, and matters have been moving to their entire sat-
istaedon But pretty soon the whole army will be home
and then it will dawn upon these gentry that it will be use
less to nominate candidates who cannot command the sup
porof the soldier vote, And about that time the states
which have been carefully prepared through four years of
war time politics will begin to go to smash,
For Two decades after the Civil war ended the Grand
Armyof the Republic dominated the nation and it was the
most potent single factor in the Republican party for
much longer term than that The Grand Army at that was
composed only of who in the service of but
side. The veterans of the Great war come from every
sec6on In addition to that there is now tendency TO
include In whatever organization Of those who were called
10 service in the war which has just ended the men who
were connected with the noncombatan branches including
The Y M. c. A. and the other organizations of that char
acte Even if the Veteran organization is formed on the
conventional plan the block Of voters will be the largest in
proportion to population which the practical politicians Of
the country have ever had to deal with If it made all
embracing will simply amount to political avalanche il
7itcanbe manipulated en- masse.
And itmay be taken for granted that there will be no
way which this be moved unless concessions are
madeto it in the way Of candidates Both parties will next
year bid for this support and it is almost certain
that lot Of ambitious statesmen going take back
seats Not that there is much prospect that soldiers now
most prominent will have the inside Of the track in the
running for the nominations. 1t much more likely that
men less conspicuous right who have made records

HE worst thing about the prospective closing down of
the United States Employment bureau in this city is
that the work will be brought to sudden stop at the very
time it beginning to be Of some use to the community
With the opening up Of outdoor work of all kinds there
will be demand for most Of the surplus labor and the
quickest way Of putting the manles job and the jObess
in touch with each other through an agency Of this
kind Moreover there will have 10 be some sort of COM
muny effort to supply the men who are discharged from
the army with employment That means that when the
government closes down its Office here the community in
some way will have 10 take the work up.
What could be reasonable therefore, than to Just
arrange to carry the work Of the present employment
Office until such time an Appropriation can be made
available? 1t altogether probable that when Congress
doe: get around the point Of making appropriations for
this service funds will be made available beginning with The
opening Of the fiscal year. hat means that all the
community would have 10 do 10 put up funds 10 keep the
Office from the dale Of closing under instructions from
Washington, March d. and the FIRST day Of June
Such arrangement doubtless would be much more
economical than for the community go about creating an
Independent employment bureau 1t is matter that is
clearly up 10 the Chamber Of Commerce and no time
should be lost in giving consideration If anything is to
be done about it will be done before next Saturday

Ohio, in 1916. The early part of his
life was spent on the farm. When 16
years old he enlisted in the cavalry
service of the Union army and was
with Sherman during the entire cam
paign of the March to the Sea. He
took part in several other important
engagements and served until the end
of the war. Mr.. and Mrs. Black came
to Fatrmont in 1900. For the past
several years they have resided in
their home on Benoni avenue during
the summer and spent the winter
months in Alabama near Mobile,
where they have small farm and
home.
He is survived by his wife, two
sons, ". IT. Black, of Fairmont. and
A. R. Black, of Port Clinton, ohio
two brothers, c. ". Black, Of NAL

No funeral arrangements have yet
been made, and it is not known
whether the burial will be at Mobile

ing the latter part Of October with the
expectation of spending the winter
there. Mr.. Blacks health had been
impaired for twelve months, but his
most recent illness only dates back TO
Tuesday of this week, when he be-
came i'll at his winter home and vas
removed to a hospital.
Information of Mr.. Blacks death
was received today in telegram re-
ceived by his son, w. I. Black, OF Hill
Crest. A telegram was received yes
terday saying he was improved, and
the telegram this morning, which
stated that he died suddenly at 5
O'Clock, was quite unexpected.
Mr., Black came to Fairmont nine
teen years ago and organized and es-
tablished the Fairmont Wall Plaster
company. He has ever since its or
ganization been president and mana
ger of the company, which has grown
very rapidly to concern doing bust
ness in half dozen states.
Mr.. Black was engaged in the plas-
ter business in Ohio before coming to
Fairmont. and was at the time of his
death probably the oldest man living
in the gypsum plaster industry. He
had very wide acquaintance in the
gypsum and cement industry and
among the building supply trade in
West Virginia. and surrounding states

For the purpose of making it difficult if not mpos
sible pass real state Police bill the wysong
introduced in the House of Delegates yesterday could
scarcely be improved upon. But in the matter of actual
police protection it leaves much to be desired In add
ton to the facts that such force would be available
only for riot duty and then would be totally lacking
cohesyeness and training it would be particularly
economical il it were ever called upon At So per day
it would cost $500 day in pay alone to keep the
force in the field The best thing about regular state
police force is that it would be on duty all the time
and would be available to enforce any state law at any
place in the state without the least fuss delay.

tcuary too reminiscent of the old days to be at

thing accomplished was the appointment of committees

Homer S. Cummings, the new chairman Of the Demo-
cratic National committee yesterday challenged Will H.
Hays, chairman of the Republican party, to put his
party record with respect to the League of Nations
The situation thus created will have tendency to cause
grin on the faces Of students of American politics.
Great parties usually so record through their
maly adopted platforms and in no other way. Mr..
Cummings, however, to think that both OF them
being bossed by their national chsirmen and it must
be confessed that Mr. Hays has not been hiding his light
under bushel to any great extent since he became
factor in national politics But the condition may have
its compensatons Perhaps the chsrmen insist upon
monopolizng the spot lights the real leaders of the
parties will have little time to devote to constructive
craftsmanship. There never was time when this was
more needed.
