COAL OPERATORS
FEAR FUEL SLUMP

From anxiety over excessive prices
the coal men Of Northern West virginia
have turned to fear an abnormal shrink

of next spring as we'll as current prices.
For months the market has been pound

have believed that prices have oeen 100

dustry and now there arc coal men to be
found in this section who would conceal
the truth about present low prices IN
an effort to bolster the market.
When the Fair Practices committee
of Northern Nest Virginia began 10

reported to have been sold in this sec

MUST BE CLEARED UP

The Hayti scandal has died down
temporarily, but the facts still exist and
warrant thorough Investigation, with
punishment Of anyone found guilty.
Only by such a course can the United
States restore the shattered confidence
OF Central and South American nations.
A naval board headed by Admiral
Mayo. is now holding sessions on the is
land, but It is asserted that this board
has been given such instructions by Sec
rotary Daniels that Its scope Is ultra
limited" To get the full story It will
be necessary to have board with un-
limited powers and to reassure the
Haytians az to the evidence they may
give.
It is very desirable that the new ad-
ministration should tackle Latin-Ameri-
can affairs with clean slate. II the
Haytian slaughter has not been properly
investigated before March. steps TO that
end should be taken promptly.

THE PANAMA CANAL. DE-
FENSES

It seems probable that important
changes in the defenses OF the Panama
canal will be made as q result OF the
visit OF Mr.. Harding. Officers have
taken occasion to point out to him that
the largest guns on the Pacific end of
the canal are 14-lnch, while the best
modern warships have 1S-inch guns and
could thus shell the Mirafores locks
while out Of reach Of shells from the
shore Alterations in the defenses have
also been made necessary by the de-
veaopment OF the airplans as a war
agency. because OF the fact that they
are all plainly visible from the air. The
island Of Taboga, described as the
Heligoland OF Balboa bay. should be &C
auIred from Panama and heavily fortl-
lied.
Described in one word. the present de-
lenses Of the Panama canal are obso-
lete. We cannot AFFORD to let them re-
main In that condition.

THE TWO AMENDMENTS

BY the final official vote. both the
amendments to the state constitution
voted upen at the recent election, are
shown 10 have carried by large majori-
ties The $5O.O0o.900 bond issue for
good roads Is thus authorized, and a
radical change made in the meetings Of
the state legislature. The maJorities for
both amendments were large. Only Is
counties gave majoritles against the
good roads amendment. which was to be
expected. as only u few counties Of the
state have iirst-ciaSs roads.
Now that We have this amendment on
the books. every effort must be made 20
see that. Il Is properly administered.

lators is perhaps inevitable. but the

roads that the money will build should
be the means Of bringing great pros
perity to all parts Of the state. They
will be of especial benefit to the in
terror counties. which Will be afforded
highways 70 railroads and markets.
Taxable land values will thus be en-
HANGED and the counties which already
have good roads will have less cause to
complain.
The legislative amendment provides
that the legislature shall meet for 10
days, during which time bills shall be
introduced but none passed The legis-
lature will then adjourn and the legisla-
tors and general public will study and
discuss the merits Of the proposed laws.
At the end of the time provided. the leg
islature will reasscmble and debate and
vote upon the various measures. 1t Is
believed this will result in more salts
factory legislation. The amendment
also makes a small raise in the salaries
Of members Of the Legislature. as their
pay prior to this time has not been suf-
flcient to pay their expenses.

A NEW GREEK THEORY

That American money defeated Pre-
mier Venizelos is the charge made by
leading Greeks Of New York City. The
wife Of Prince Christopher of Greece,
brother Of former King Constantine. was
the widow of William b. Leeds She
used her millions. the Greeks claim, to
finance the royalist campaign and swing
the election against Venizelos. 1t was
the ambition Of the former Mrs. Leeds,
they say. to be member of a real
rather than an EEK" royal family and
therefore civilization and Greece were
betrayed.
This is a new and interesting theory
to account for the unexpected result In
Greece. No doubt this former American
woman would be interested in Constan-
tines restoration, and her money. may
have been one factor in the election.
That alone, however, could not have pro-
duced the result. any more than cam
paign fund could have produced the re-
cent landslide in our own country.
II seems more probable that there
was for some reason. q real sentiment
in Greece against Venizelos. This great
man and great statesman had for a
number Of years been closely associated
with the entente powers and all of the
great things that he did for Greece were
done with their consent and co-opera-
tion. His program for the future meant
that Greece would be the watchdog Of
the entente on the Mediterranean. That
position would carry profit and prestige,
but It cannot be denied that it would to
some extent subordinate Greek nation
alism and Greek independence. Per-
haps it was feeling that Greece should
have greater national liberty Of action
that chiefly influenced the recent voting.
