there was an engine and extra cars on
the tracks at New Mardnsville. but the
authorities there stated they could ont
act.
From New Martinsv1lle an appeal was
made to Wheeling and the Wheeling
railroad officials stated they could not
act. From Wheeling an appeal was
made to Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh rail-
road officials stated that they could not
act. and finally the ,despairing friends or
the injured man were referred to Wash
incton 100 late to accomplish their pur-
pose. The InteIligencer received this
information from man thoroughly
familiar with all the circumstances and
who is qualified to speak authoritative
". He expressed the opinion that II
the unfortunate officer could have beer
gotten to Wheeling under proper condi-
tlous at the right time his life could
! have been saved. AS it was he oleo
because government red tape bound the
; hands of railroad officials who under
authorities there stated they could not
! ed promptly and effectively.
1t is within the knowledge Of every
body that the railroads under private
management quickly responded TO ap'
peals for special help. and local officials
! used their judgment as TO the OeS'
means Of procedure in an emergency
Today all authority centers at Wash

The Department Of Agriculture an
nounces that certain index figures which
they have laboriously gathered. show
that the average agricultural products
were six per cent lower in price on April
1st, 1919 than on April 1st. 1915. and
twenty and four-tenths per cent lower
than in 1917. This may be true. and il
is important If true, but the average
householder who goes to market on Sat
urday morning still asks to be shown.

WHY A VALUABLE LIFE
WAS LOST

A sample Of the efficiency Of the rail-
roads under government management
has been called to the attention Of the
1nteIligencer. A few days ago we'll
known police officer in one of the towns
on the Short Line railroad between New
Mart1nsyille and ClarksburG was shot.
This mans injuries were OF kind that
required q delicate operation by skillful
surgeons and the best hospital treat
r,.nt. Efforts were made to get him to
wheeling where ne could receive this
attention. Friends communicated with
the railroad authorities at New Mar
tinsville with a view OF getting spe-
-esa1 train to Wheeling. At that time

Two of the most alert type of non

them Ia inject life into their forces by

WHOM DOES MIR. WILSON
REPRESENT?

49,. ayeravc American will find 1t
s,fscul, to understand why MI. "llso"
-, +.ken a determined and apparently
m .immovablc position against the
,e.s,on Of Fiume 20 Italy. Americans
wight not approve OF making Fiume an
Italian city if they were given the
privilege of voting upon the question:
but what particular concern has the
United States in tho disposition Of FL
ume or in the settlement of any Of the
misty territorial questions which arise
tetveen contending races in Eastern
Europe: This is exactly the kind OF
thing that Americans wish to avoid if
possible. 1t is the kind Ct dispute
that we wish to stay out Of. Undoubt-
edly. az one Of the pescemakers, Mr..
Wilson has right to view and vote
mon this and other questions. and his
advice will probably be listened to re-
spectful1y. The assumption. however
OF an attitude Of determined opposition
TO the aspirations Of one Of the Allied
nations places Us in direct antagonisn
to that nation upon question in which
that nation has most acute interest
and which we have only very remote
interest
Does Mr.. Wilson, in his capacity Of
nesotiator, consider himself the guar
dian OF the worlds peace. or docs he
consider himself the representative OF
tho United States negotiating for ane
protecting American interests?
