JyJDGING by the inquiries which have been made in
the region the only thing that stands between the people
Of the Faimont mining field and the greatest prosperity

night on running the same risk Il is part Of the Price we
pay for freedom from the danger Of the country falling
mic the hands of military dictatorship.
Only very rare cases could we expect to have CIVILIAN
athe head Of the navy and war departments who would
know as well as trained naval and army men what 10 do
al the outbreak Of war Thebet we can expect to do is
to have these posts who have horse sense enough
to realize their own limitations and who consequently would
be willing TO be guided by the advice Of experts
And the only way in which we can hope 10 keep these
important agencies of the government in the hands Of the
right kind of strong hold the party in power to
strict accountability If Secretary Daniels by his fusng
little details reduced the effectiveness Of the American
navy the administration responsible and so is the Demo-
cratic party If the American people do not reason it out
that way and upon the conclusion the next time the
Democratic party j: in power there would be danger that
another fssy would be put the head of the Navy
department.

cENTURY STILL YOUNG.

'HOUGH two decades of the 20th century have
passed into history there is still much time left in
which to do great things before midnight of the Sunday
which shall mark the end of the century.
The twentieth century began at midnight of December
81, 1900. The century will contain Is leap years and
$685. days, 52l8 weeks lacking one day. 1t began
on Tuesday aud vii s;i 81 s,rsy T.ee are FIVE Sun
days in February of 1920 but this will no, occur again
until l94S and 1875
So that 80 years come and go before fms written
10 the century. Children born today will be 80 years old
century, the 2lst hoves into view Great things
will in those 80 years. Flying will become as COM
auto riding now. Transoceanic flights will be
thought no more of than trip downtown in street car.
And electric street cars by the way probably will be but
a memory and shadowy one at that.

summer months 1t might have added that the prevens

consumers would be much benefited as the industry

National Defense, to which President Wilson has trans
ferred the powers of the Bitumnous Coal commission
ought TO begin vigorous publicity campaign urging
every one to buy coal early. year ago the National
Coal association undertook to do that designing
persons charged that it effort to an ar-
fetal demand for coal and thus boost the price That
was not true, of and people who failed heed
the warning suffered last winter for their shortsghted-

misrepresent it. 1t would help industrial conditions

should take hand in the matter.

| When the improvements conten-
plated by the Madison county school
board are concluded, there will be a
great change in evidence at the White

work of one of the school improve
ments being under way while plans
and specifications are being drawn
for aother. The Improvements repre-
set outlay of several thousand dol
lars and viii be completed this year,
unless something unforeseen trans
pires.
That there will be moving picture
machines installed in some of the
j schools, especially the above named,
is also very likely, in fact, this fea-
ture is being figured upon at present
and the first innovation of this char
acter will doubtless be installed at the
school at White Hall.

contract W.: le let within short
time and that actual work Will soon

sent, it is said, between $1,000 and

At the Science Hill school there
will be additional rooms built for
class work numbering two, &, library
cloak room, manual training depart
ment and other improvements. The

ported at the Big Hill school, this
