MAN WAS NOT INSANE

The Vanceburg Sun says: Jack
ODair, aged about so years, was
brought here from Martin Friday by
parties claiming he was of unsound
mind. He was placed in Jail and a
doctor called who pronounced him of
sound mind and only suffering from
the pecularities of old age. Nothing
further was done in his cause, we
learn, until Sheriff Bertram volunteer
ed Monday to take him back to some
of his relatives in the county who
would keep him for his pension.
1t was hard situation for one who
had been defender of his country to
be confined in SO mean a place when

Comment
on Business
By BOERsIANER.

Every normal being is progressive.
Man may no more deny progress than
he may refrain from practiCing it
consciously or unConsciously.
To employ a material and perhaps
unlovely simile, the desire for fresh
experience (which is synonymous
with prOgress) Is as inevitably en-
gendered in man as the desire for
fresh food is engendered during
physical life in the body. Even after
eating too much and being for the
moment disinclined for more food.
man is thoroughly convinced that he
will be hungry again soon. II while
suffering from repletion some one
were to declare that forever and for
ever he would detest nourishmeut,
the declaration were unconvincing
They who were less repleted would
not believe him.
So with mental ailment. so with
everything which makes for a less
imperfect civilization. Man can
never be permanently satiated,
society cannot remain static.
But there comes times when il is
a grave problem Of what is and Is
not progressive: when society must
pause and ask as this the right
way.

President Wilson's directive infu-

ogy no President ever had the power

Capitals confusion is not less CON
founded by the conflicting reports Of
the President'E present policy and
OF his future personal plans. There
is talk In a Well-informed circle that
Mr, Wilson means to retire In March.
1921, to devote himself to an import
tant literary work.
Suppositious details OF this are dis

"a home for every honest mani" a
scheme, a suggestion Of which was
supposedly re-echoed by Mr.. Fitzpat-
rick when he asserted I'VE are going
TO socialize the basic industries Of the
United States"
Finally, in still another circle there
are whispers which may be dismiss
ed as quite impossible. but are jotted
down here to get before the reader
the beWilderments OF capitaI where
the President Is concerned; whispers
Of the Presidents alleged conviction
that revolutions are essential to the
