COST OF PRIVATE RAIL CONTROL.

In presenting the figures showing that since
the railways Of the country have been restored
to private CONTROL the deficits, for the payment
Df which aid has been asked of the federal gov
eminent, amount to six hundred and thirty
four million dollars, while the whole cost OF
operation during the two and more years of
government control was nine hundred and two
nillion dollars, Interstate Commerce Commits
Sioner Wooley fails to mention or two I'M
Dortant facts that have a direct bearing on the
matter
In the first place, the government spent moth
Ing during its tenure Of the railways for bet
tcrnents, or even for keeping the railways in
decent condition. The private owners Of the
roads have since had to spend a great deal of
money for betternents and the end of the
spending is not yet. The government did not
have to pay the extremely high wage given
railway employees by the decision of a govern
ment board just as the roads were about to pass
into the hands Of their owners again. And the
Increase in freight rates granted the roads is
insufficient to allow for these increased wages,
hs the interstate commerce commission was
shown at the time the increases were granted.
Mr.. WOoley's figures do not show that pr-
tate operation Of the roads is more costly than
government control so much as they show it is
going to cost the roads heavily to recover from
The effects of government control.

BEAUTY CULTURE HINTS

There is real common sense in just
noticing whether the hair is well kept
to judge of woman's neatness, or
good taste. If you are one OF the
few who try to make the most of
your hair, remember that it is not
advisable to wash the hair with any
cleanser made for all purposes, but
always use some good shampoo. You
can enjoy the very best by gettSg
some canthrox from your druggist,
dissolve teaspoonful in cup of hot
water This makes full cup Of
shampoo liquid, enough SO it is easy
to apply it to all the hair instead OF
Just the top of the head. Dandruff,
excess oil, and dirt are dissolved and
entirely disappear. Your hair will
look much heavier than it is. Its
luster and softness will also delight
you, while the stimulated scalp gains
the health which insures hair growth.

MINISTERS CANNOT BE INFLUENCED.

Governor Cox s campaign managers announce
that they arc going to enlist the aid OF ministers
OF all denominations in their drive for the
league. OF all classes of our people, religious
leaders were the most easily misled by the cam
paign slogan Of 1916, He kept us out OF war.
But having been deceived then they are not
likely to be led astray this year by the ruse, 1t
will keep us out Of war; On the contrary, it is
probable that some of the strongest opponents
of the league idea are to be found In the MIN

HIS ROYAL RICHNESS.

Governor Cox has published some OF the cor
respondence which preceded the submission by
Mr. Taft to President Wilson at Paris OF GER
tain suggested changes and additions to the
league covenant then in process OF negotiation.
The spectacle is presented Of the only living ex-
president Of the United States asking permls-
sion of the PRESIDENT secretary to communicate
directly with Mr.. Wilson. Apparently Mr.. Tart
was apprehensive that cable from hum to MI.
Wilson in Paris would fall into the hands OF
some subordinate whom the president had au-
thorized to handle all correspondence, so he took
the matter up with Mr.. Tumulty, the acting
chief of the white house. Thereupon Tumulty
cabled to Mr.. Wilson: Former President Taft
asks if he may cable to you direct for your con-
sideration only, some suggestions about which
he has been thinking a great deal and which ne
would like to have you consider
Mr.. Wilson graciously condescended to read
whatever Mr.. Taft might have to offer and so
informed Mr.. Tumulty who in turn, informed
the ex-president that it would suit the royal
pleasure to hear directly from him. Probably
never before in the history of the country has
a former occupant of the white house been
placed in the humiliating position OF having to
state his business to a private secretary In the
presidents ante-room before he could be assur-
ed of direct communication with the executive.
Senator Harding and Mr.. Wilson are at varl-
ance on fundamental policies OF government,
but with the former in the white house the door
will always be found open to ex-President Will
son or to ex-President Taft whenever they deem
it expedient to discuss matters Of state with the
executive.

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
A WISH.

All day and many days rode,
Nv horses head set toward the sea;
And as rode longing came to me
That might keep the sunset road'
Riding my horse right on and on,
O,ertake the day still tagging in the west
And SO reach boyhood from the dawn
And be with all the days at rest
For then the odor of the growing wheat
,y'he flare of su1nach the hills
,rhe touch of grasses to my feet
Would cure my brain of all its HIS
Would fill nv heart so full Of JOY
That no stern lines could fret my face
There would be forever boy,
Lit by the sky's unfailing grace.

It is a good reminder to have pasted in the
crown Of a voter s hat that the argument against
the senate's part in the government of the coun-
try is no new menace but an old and valuable
protection The senate today is what the writ
ers of the constitution intended it to be, the bull
wark of a constitutional democracy against the
temptation to a strong personality in the ex-
ecutive chair to usurp an undue amount of indi-
vidual power. The only enemies of a sane brake
of this kind are those who fear its restraint up
on their own schemes for undue privilege.

Some men look on political parades as nom
sense, as waste Of time and money. But they
are not utterly useless. They do at least some
service in arousing enthusiasm for there are per
sons, both marchers and voters, who are stirred
by them into thinking more seriously concern
ing their vote and their choice of a candidate.
It is as dangerous to deride the political parade
as it is to ridicule the baseball fan s enthusiasm
or the fisherman s delight in his sport. Both
have their uses in either generating energy or
working off surplus energy. The political pa
rade is some mems method of working up en-
thusiasm for the ticket and there is no doubt
that it often has this effect. Therefore, let us
fear to belittle it.

HILL IS SURE
OF HIS PLACE
Showing of This Lad
Against Pitt Makes Him
Regular

MoRGANToWN, Feb. 2. : George
Hill who was pushed into the West
Virginia lineup last week at basket
ball in order, IL possible, to secure
more scoring from the floor, earned
himself a. regular place beyond any
question OF doubt by his great work
against the University Of Pittsburgh
Saturday night.
Hill got bad start at basketball
this year. A regular guard in 1913
he came out late because OF laboratory
work this year and Coach Stadsvold
having started out to let every man,
old or new, show his wares right on
the floor, did not inject the Fairmoni
youth right into the lineup because
Dawson, Morrison, Kiker, Outright and
Hawks were going at rapid pace
and Hill was behind.
But, when 1t was seen that some
thing must be done to better the sour
ing, Stadsvold took into consideration
the fact that there was no better floo-
man on the squad than Hill and that
he handled the ball cleverly and he
started in to make forward OF him
There is no doubt that Hill Is going
to be a great man for the Noun
taineers. Next Saturday the West
Virginia Five goes to Fairmont where
both Hill and Hawkins will have an
opportunity to show their wares before
home folks. 1t will be a hard test for
West Virginia, but Hill should be even
better than he has been in the pre-
vious games this year in which he has
appeared.
