President Will
Veto Resolution

Westinghouse President Wilson has

olution offered by Senator Knox.
Pennsylvania, now pending in the SEN
ate. declaring that the state of war
existing between the United States on
the one hand, and Germany and Aus
tria on the other, was at an end.

tions covenant shall be made fore

political campaign. In advising his
party supporters in the Senate that he
does not wish them to delay action on

shows that he is anxious to bring the
issue before the country as soon as
possible, and preferably prior to the
National Convention of the two major
political parties

The currency was consigned to the
Day and Night Bank of Williamson.

clare the registered pouch was never
delivered to them. John Smith, color
ed, who delivers the mail from the
depot to the postoffice, was examined,
but has resisted efforts of detectives
70 break down his story that he knows

gan an investigation when It failed to
arrive on time, and Mr. Varney

the case have so far failed to unearth
any clues which throw any light on
the disappearance of the pouch. 1t is
said to have been one OF the most
cleverly executed robberies in southern
West Virginia in recent years.

LOSES
ALL STATE Aid

The State Roads Commissioner has
written letter to the committee ap-
pointed by the Louisa Board of Trade
in which ne says he will refuse to ap-
prove any projects for State aid in
connection with the bond issue voted
by the citizens of Lawrence county
last December. The reason given is
that "a new road law was passed in
March OF this year. TO go into effect
July l. and that he does not want to
obligafe the State any further under
the old law.
This seems to settle the matter I'm
less the citizens Of Lawrence county
decide TO go ahead and take the mat
ter into the courts. which is not at all
probable
This means that we have lost the
s5s3 1890 State aid to which the State
would have been committed for Law
renee county If our bond election had
been followed by an immediate and
energetic compliance with the require
ments OF the law, as was advocated in
these columns. and also personally by
several citizens. Such a course would
have clinched the obligation before
the new law was tnaCleu.
Procrestination is always danger
Gus course when there is a duty to per-
form,
The situation now is that we shall
help TO finance the States part of the
Mayo Trail by lending some money out
of the bond issue This is to be paid
back by the State and the road is to
cost us nothing. Also, it is to be main
tained at the expense of the State.
This is better than the other plan of
aid, as far as it goes. But no road ex-
tending east and vest through the coun
ty is contemplated by the new State
plan. We may apply the s250.OOO on
such roads. and it would be right to
do so. Also, we may be able TO get the
next Legislature to provide for road
connecting the primary system in that
in spite of the discouragements and
obstacles it is no time TO quit Let the
good citizens continue their efforts for
good roads and work out the problem
some way.
