HE Germans are counting upon the Dutch govern
ment refuse the demand of the Allies for the per-
of Count Hohenzollem. and there will not be much
surprise if they do. In spite of the strong way in which
the was put to the Dutch. the demand for him runs
counter to the Traditions of the people of Holland and the
principles of International law which hold that while the
right of asylum not absolute may accord it in dis
regard Of protests upon the part of other states.
The Supreme counsel at Paris and the able lawyers
who have been working upon the case of the former Kaiser
have made no attempt to deny this They simply have
decided ignore 4 and appeal to the government of the
Netherlands the name of higher law. The measure of

If the Dutch refuse to give up their unwecome guest there
will be no way which pressure may be applied which
would dangerously close an aon to the SOW

THE AIR MAIL.
noshcahon.

WO bills pending in congress propose to take the air
mail service from the Postoice department and turn
i. to the War department This in face of the fac,
that since Inauguration of the air mall May IS, 1918,
on an average by Is hours And too in face of the fac,
that commercial needs present. while the next
may be decades distant.
There is fully as much sound business judgment in thus
turning the mail service from the postoGice to the army
because avators will be needed in the next war as there
would be in handing the railroads the telegraph ys
tenn industrial plants capable of making munitions
Secretary Bakers department because these, too, will be
needed to fight the next war.
Keep the air mail where it belongs-in the postal de-
partment. If the army needs war-tramed air corps
clude that in the amys equipment.

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR

AS To THE PRICE or CLOTHES.
CHICAGO, Jan. 19-[Editor The
West Virginianl-So much mislead-
ing information has appeared in a
number of newspapers throughout
the country recently relative to prices
at which mems clothing can be pur-
chased retail, that we are requesting
space in your newspaper to correct
impressions that prevail in many
quarters.
Articles recently appeared in the
public press to the effect that suits
are now selling in Chicago at $24.5O.
Areport recently issued by the Chi
cago retail merchants states among
other things:
IAN investigation of Chicago
stocks discloses the fact that de-
pendable merchandise can be
purchased at prices noted as long
as present stocks remain. Our
opinion that the retail dealers
as rule are not quoting on the
basis of today's cost to manufac-
ture, but are figuring reasonable
profits on actual cost"
The Lever act "a federal law, re-
lating to the profits on the necessities
of life is virtually the cause of the
action taken by the various fair price
committees, including the one in
Chicago.
The suits and overcoats referred to
in the committees report and which

The American Newspaper Publishers association has
taken alarm over section of the proposed Graham
antisedltion bill which gives posmasters the right to
exclude publication from the mails provided off
cial finds in it something which he believes is objec
onable and falls within the meaning of the statute
No review by any magistrate court required This
amazing proposal and 1t is hard believe
it could be suggested in a country committed to the
principles of free press. Almost similar war time
regulations abused and it is certain that such
regulation in peace time would lead to trouble.

RUFF STUFF

The weather man must have an
interest in one of the factories max

joyable here than in the earthquake

Federal officers have unearthed
another plot by which the Reds in
tended to blow lot of prominent
citizens into the next world next May

The guy who plans these pleasant
little surprises certainly has a pro-

difference to the victim whether he
is blown up on Fourth of July or
the twenty ninth Of February?
