appreciation the important work you
did in organizing the board and in in
itiating its exceedingly useful func-

ATTENTION

Attention The Hospital Guild is re-
uuested to meet on Saturday at p.
m. at the residence of Mrs. ]. w. Ware.
The object of this meeting is to decide
upon the disposition of the funds re-
naming in the treasury, and all who
are interested should avail themselves
of this opportunity TO express their
views and vote on the question.
Failure to do this will be construed as
a willingness to leave the decision,
without criticism, entirely to those who
may be present, and final action will be
taken, no matter how small the at
tendance NAV be.

THE suffragists of West Virginia
will urge Governor Cornwell to call an
extra session of the Legislature for
the purpose of ratifying the national
suffrage amendment. Probably the
best thing to do is to get this vexed
question out of the way before the next
regular session shall be held.

IN a report made public on Monday
by the Federal Trade Commission it
was shown conclusively that the "big
FIVE" packing establishments fix from
day to day the prices of food products
in the United States. There is, Of
course, no reason to doubt that this
is the absolute truth, and the unfortu-
nate part for the consumer is that
prices are continually fixed upward.
Still, what are we going to do about
il? The great Chicago combination is
too clever for the courts, too strong for
control and too powerful for even gov
eminent regulation.

1T is a curious fact that though the
saloons are all closed and the coun-
try is supposed to be dry, liquor is
after all at the bottom Of the race riots
in Washington. 1t has been found
that most of the trouble has been
occasioned by negro bootleggers who
have been growing rich by buying
whiskey from INSCRIPTIONS illegal
dealers in Baltimore and carrying it to
Washington, where it has been peddled
at a great profit. Having acquired
much money and grown exceedingly
irsolent, these bootleggers brook no
restraint, and violation of one law nat
urally makes them lawless in other re-
spects. A stern lesson should be
taught them.

AS one decision after another in the
courts goes against the brewers and
saloon-keepers, they are realizing that
prohibition is inevitable and in their
hearts they know that their business is
permanently ended. But they are dy-
ing hard and grasp at every straw that
they think may save them. They are
now working their last scheme, and
that is to demand referendum in GER
tain States which have ratified the pro-
Aibition amendment, with the hope
fhat they can get majority vote in
favor of the saloon. They cannot win
the popular vote in such an election,
and if they could it would do them no
good, for the amendment has been
properly ratified in accordance with
the Constitution of the United States,
Of which il will become a part on
January 16, 1920.
The brewers big horses will never
again ride over the people Of the
United States.

THERE seems to be growing doubt
as to the wisdom of placing the former
Kaiser on trial-for fear that if ne is
properly punished he will pose as a
MARTYR. Still, it will not do to turn
him loose, for the Germans are just
foolish enough to rally around him and
make him the head of another military
despotism. AS a fugitive in Holland
he is probably as harmless as ne can
possibly be.

the purpose of presenting to the peo-
pie in series Of public addresses the
conditions of the treaty and the league

he will have little difficulty in causing

THE REBA PICNIC ON THE FOURTH.

The REBA Picnic drew a large
crowd of folks for the Fourth of July
holiday pleasures. There was some
barbecued meat but the crowd was
so large it was quickly snatched up
when the table-call came. though we
understand a second supply was put
out later. Some baskets were
brought and that helped feed the
large assembly OF people. The pic
mic ground selected was under the
large old oaks in front of Mr.. S. r.
Breand S old place. The cold-stuff
stand there did land-office business
not hardly being able to handle the
crowd. The candidate speaking was
pulled off before dinner. All did
not get to speak, owing to the day
being threatening and the news OF
storm. warnings being out, served to
cause the crowd to begin to dispense
after the eating and some after de-
| liberatings among those in charge.

EDITORS POLL IN CONGRESS.
Heavy Vote for Return OF Roads
Arouses interest at the Ma
tionaI Capital.

Washington.-The national poll on
the railroad question by 5000 news
paper editors throughout the country
has aroused great interest at the ma
tionai capital. With SO per cent. of
the editors giving 1t as their impaytial
opinion that the public favors an early
return of the railroads to their own
ers and only ii per cent. favoring Gov
eminent ownership or operation, the
members of Congress of both polit-
lcal parties propose to provide speed
lily for the legislation to make 1t pos
sible to restore the roads to private
management before the end of the
year.
In Congress there Ii a general agree
ment that the following steps will have
to be taken before the roads are re-
turned to their owners:
1. An advance In rates to meet the
greatly increased cost of labor and
materials In order that the Public
Treasury may be relieved of the bur-
den of meeting monthly deficits and
the roads made self-supporting. The
Director General of Railroads states
that the increase in rates thus far Is
about 20 per cent. as compared with
an increase In operating costs Of from
30 to 80 per cent.
2. Greater nationalizati ton of public
control of transportation single
public control In the Federal Govern
nent in place Of 40 masters In the diff
ferent States, with conflicting laws
and regulations.
3. Legalization OF consultations and
common use of lines and facilities
whenever in the public interest
4. Assurance through an act of Con-
gress that In the future the Govern
ment will approve of rates for freight
and passengers that will not only be
fair to the public, but fair to the roads,
and that will yield a sufficient income
on capital to attract the $3.50, 100000
to $1,000, 100000 Of new capital need
ed every year for the expansion Of rail-
road facilities.

the return of the railroads to private
management is shown by the following
