There is q decided improvement IN
cars along the Monongahela railroad
today over last week, but the supply
is short even at that, and some mines
did not receive any cars at all. In the
West Virginia district this morning
there were 154 cars placed and IN the
Pennsylvania district there were 322
cars placed. There are no cars IN
sight for Tuesday. The movement out
of Brownsville, Pa, improved some

Especial Dispatch TO The West Virginian-)
WASHINGTON, May 81 have a
good fighting cahnce to win," declar-
ed Senator Howard Sutherland today
with earnest emphasis to delegation
of prominent visitors from West Vir-
ginia which called upon him.
IL am seeking to impress that" he
continued, upon the minds Of my ac-
tive Supporters and all my friends In
the state. In the opinion of many men
who have national outlook on poll
tics, with severa of whom have dis
cussed the subject within the past
twenty-four hours, am advised that
have good chance to win-a light
ing chance"
The presidential situation in the
confused, indefinite and indeter-
Republican party is uncertainty itself
minable. Upon that much the opln-
ion of the national leaders OF the
party in the capital today Is agreed
without dissenting voice. There are
signs in sight that it will be otherwise
when the national convention meets.
In view of that, it is held that one
candidates chances are approximate
" as good as another's, and one who
enters with the fewest delegates may,
in the turn of unexpected, events
come out winner.
That is not alone the only reason
why Senator Sutherland announced
with all the earnestness he was capa-
Ible, of commanding. that. II have q

remarks BY those who have talked

leaders," said one of his friends to
the correspondent today, YOU and all
other West Virginians would be sur

That something important has hap
pened to brighten the presidential
prospects of Senator Sutherland has
been apparent to all visitors who have
called upon him and talked with him
during the past few days. That he
has a chance to win, and a chance
which he considers a good one, consti-

Children and Taxes.

In france, as elsewhere, the chief
burden or the war has fallen upon the
moderately we'll to do, and especially
upon those who have children. but
france stands alone in having met the
crisis with intelligent legislation. The
new inheritance tax is shrewdly de-
signed to encourage an increase of the
blrth rate in precisely those strata
where it has been lowest, and where a
lack or births is most harmful to the
nation. No tenet of laissez faire individ-
ualism has been more obdurate than
that 1t is nobody's business but that of
the parents how many children are
porn. Inc war taught a different les
son but it remained for the return of
peace to drive HON it's full significance.
Necessary as mere numbers are. they
are OF no avail unless adequately led,
and is as true in the pursuits of peace
leadership has been paid for mainly,
not by the state, but by the individual
who has already done 1t one great SER
vice in giving it a new life. It is not
only that the living of the child has to
be provided to the ages of Is, %. IS:
every item for food and clothing and
rent includes a tax, indirectly levied.
The state, in its blindness. has acted as
profteer upon those who aspire to do it
lLse supieihe seiVlce. MeaHtlLne IN those
strata where children receive only the
legal minimum of education the state
provides free hospitals, free schools,
welfare organizations of all kinds, and
Is now beginning to provide maternity
grants and mothers pensions. And
these also are paid for by taxes levied
largely upon the moderately we'll to do.
1t is small wonder that the birth rate
among the educated is tending to be-
come stationary. even to recede, and
that the future citizens of the nations
are recruited in an ever-increasing pro.
portion from the less well to do.
