Some bird" by the name of
Holt, from Moundsville or there
about, spread some salve for
bruised and bleeding Democrats
here Friday night. His talk
could not be classed as Dem
ocratic speech, it was sort of
a mud singing harrangue and
a real red blooded American
Republican could not have lis
tened to his vitriolic sarcasm
and not go out and vote for a
party which he stands spnosor.
Every Republican voter who
heard this sawed off, hammered
down, dirty politician, came
away with the set jaw of de-
termination, that their votes
should not and would not help
the Democratic Rooster to crow
over the Republican eagle.

BELINGToN HAS A FIRE

About 3 p. m. Tuesday a very
tame fire alarm was turned in
to the department. Heavy
clouds of smoke was seen to
raise on Pike street where it de-
veloped that the home of Jas.
Trahern was on fire. The fire
seems to have been started in a
play house by two little child
rem about four years of age and
owing to the dry condition of
everything the fire spread rap
idly to the residence which was
Soon in a sheet of flame. Water
was plentiful for fire fighting
(which was a wonder) but the
fire apparatus arrived too late
to do anything except save the
surrounding buildings. The
property loss to Mr.. C. Jones,
the owner is probably $500
with $500 insurance while the
loss to Mr.. Trahern of kitchen
furniture and cellar supplies
will reach $500, with no insur-
ance. Most of the other house
hold goods were saved with the
exception of the above mention
ed. The moral of this accident
is that children and matches are
evil companions.

COUNTY FAIR DECLARED A
GREAT SUCCESS

The Seventeenth Street Fair
and Home Coming is matter
of history.
The last two days weather
was fine, and on Thursday, prob
ably the largest crowd ever at
tending a Fair here, was pres
ent. A fine display of prod
ucts attracted the attention, and
several places of amusement
were running.
On Thursday Hon. S. B.
Montgomery talked to the null
titude in the interest of his Can
didacy for Governor which
brought a goodly number of the
Union Mine Workers.
An interesting program of
athletics was carried out on
Thursday, eliminating in a foot
ball game on the Broaddus field,
in which Chenille Normal was
winner by a score of ID to z.
The good times of former
years were gone over by the
folks as they met their old
friends and many happy meet
ings were noted.
Prizes were awarded and CIV
en- to the exhibitions, and so far
as we know perfect satisfaction
exists.
Barbour County is the only
county in the state which keeps
up the Annual Agriculture fair,
and that without expense to the
visitor. No admittance or en-
try fee is charged and folks can
bring the whole family all three
days with no expense except
transportation and the board.
1t has become a great home
coming proposition; many west
ern people making their home
visit at that time.

WEST VIRGINIA EDITORS
AGAINST GOV. OWNERSHIP

The West Virginia public is
overwhelmingly opposed to rad
ical government experiments ac-
cording to the results of ques-
tionnaire on the subject of gov
eminent operation of industries
sent out to the editors of this
and the other states Of the coun-
try. Of the 48 editors who re-
piled, as or SO per cent said that
the citizens of their communities
were opposed to the govern
ment going into business in COM
petition with it's citizens.
The QUESTIONABLE was sent
out by the Press Service Com
pany of New York City. While
the inquiry was based on the
general principle of govern
ment operation, the so-called
Muscle Shoals bill now before
Congress was used as a concrete
example. Under this bin a gov
eminent owned corporation
would be given power, among
other things, to produce at Mus
Gle Shoals various fertilizer prod
ucts and sell them in COMPETE.
ton with private manufacturers
and dealers.
As to the wisdom of the gov
eminent adopting this policy
toward the fertilizer industry
the editors were asked for their
personal opinion. Of the AS ed
itors who gave an ouinion on
this point, "a or 81 per cent
We're unqualifiedly opposed to
the. scheme.
The political affiliations of the
West Virginia papers whose ed
itors answered the question:
aire were: Republicans, "a;
Democratic, 16; Independent, z !;
and miscellaneous, /.
A summary of the results of
the QUESTIONABLE from the coun-
try at large shows that this op-
position to government opera
ton is general. Out of 1854
editors replying, 1866 or SO per
cent voted their communities
against the proposition. This is
an increase of 3 per cent in the
opposition as compared with the
results of a similar question
naire sent out by the Press Ser
vice Company a year ago in con-
nection with the question of
turning the railroads back to
their owners.
The papers heard from in the
present poll are 1857 Republi-
cans; 1850 Democratic; 1853 In
dependent and 462 miscellan-
eous. Not only did political
bias play no part in the replies
but sectional differences seem to
have no appreciate effect on
the result. The combined cir
culation of the papers whose ed.
itors replied is 11,428,817,
which means a constituency of
at least 44,000,000 readers.

Woodrow Wilson at Paris and
Woodrow Wilson at home seem
to be two entirely different indi-
viduals. In Paris he was say
ing just what he meant, but at
home he is trying to elect his
vicegeneral to the presidency.
In Paris he was trying to induce
Roumai1ia and Serbia to join the
League.
He meant just what he said In
Paris-that the United States
would send men and means to
support foreign nations. At
home he means the same but is
trying to camoufage. He
means that if Cox is elected that
just before his time or term ex-
pires, he will appoint himself as
the representative of the United
States on the League and he will
make good his promises to the
League at Paris. He means that
he does not care how many of
our best young men are sacri-
feed just so that he can satisfy
his avaracios appetite for vain
glory" He is not satisfied with
the terrible slaughter and
manning of 100000 of Amer
ica's best young men but he
would continue this thing indef-
initely. He would provide for
the slaughtering of men yea I'M
born. Let me say right here,
that Wilson-Cox and Co. will
never make our boys walk the
gangplank again to fight on for
eign SOIL | know that I have
only a few days to live, but 1
would willingly spend those few
days resisting such an attempt.
Should any one attempt to in
wade our land the government
would not have to draft volun-
teers for they would rush to the
front like the minute men of old.
Judge f?) Holt at Pelington
the other night said, IF HARD
ing is elected, it will be by mig
eTs and pro-Germans. Well, he
will find many such. If the
Denis will let Holt make a few
more speeches q in the coun-
try, we will make it unanimous
for Harding.
What | am about to say is
without any i'll or disrespect to
any candidate on the Democrat
ic ticket, but any vote for any
candidate on the Democratic
ticket will be construed as par
tial endorsement of Woodrow
and his bloodthirsty program.

GOOD ROADS
AMENDMENT
Ex-Governor Glasscock Writes
Strong Letter Favoring Bond Issue


am in favor the proposed
amendment to the Constitution
of West Virginia, making porvi-
sion for system of state roads
and highways, because / believe
there is no other method by
which West Virginia will ever
pull herself out Of the mud. 1t
has already been proved to the
satisfaction of every reasonable
mind that our present system
will not give us improved roads,
except in part, and unless the
whole of road is improved the
work is practical failure.
But it is said it will be un-
fair to those counties which have
voted bonds to require them to
pay for improving roads of 9TH
err counties. The answer to
that is that no county has a
completed program of improved
roads and the improved roads Of
any county will never be Of any
great practical benefit until the
connecting roads of adjoining
counties are also improved. Be-
sides, 1t is unreasonable to sup
pose that the Legislature will
not in some equitable manner
give credit to or reimburse the
counties that have expended
bond money on their roads, for
the amount expended. You have
to trust the Legislature as to
matters affecting your personal
rights and liberties and | can
see no reason why we cannot
trust it in this matter also.
Of course it is going to cost
money to have improved roads.
1t costs money to maintain our
school system. 1t costs money
to support our State Institu-
tons. 1t costs money to main
tain our courts. You cannot
have the things which an en-
lightened and prosperous people
demand and must have without
the expenditure of money and
that money must be raised by
either direct. or indirect taxa
ton. And so it is with good
roads. Many man will spend
several times the amount Of any
tax he will have to pay, if this
amendment is ratified, in repairs
on his automobile occasioned by
breaks and damages resulting
from travelling over our present
roads. A great deal of the OPP
position to the ratification of
the proposed amendment comes
from the representatives of
people who live outside of this
State of West Virginia and who
own large tracts of land in this
State, some of it valuable coal
lands, and these same people
gladly take what they can get
from us but are not willing to
contribute to the support of our
government and to our public
improvements.
- In the oil and gas belts of
West Virginia, the roads have
been made almost impossible by
interests domiciled in another
state. The oil and gas will soon
be gone and we will be left with
the same land minus the oil and
gas and with highways (proper-
ly called mudholes) over which
they have hauled their heavy
materials, which resulted in
very great damage to our roads.
And what have we received in
return for these valuable min
erals?
| want good roads now or as
soon as they can be constructed,
and there never was a time in
the history of the State when
we were as able to pay for them
as now, and / am afraid if we
postpone this work it will be
more expensive in the future
to the bona fide citizens of West
Virginia than it will be if done
now
