HON. JESSE A. BLOCH

Hon. Jesse A. Bloch. OF this city. has
already become the possessor Of quite
we'll developed boom for tho presl-
dsncy OF the west Virginia state senate.
Mr.. Bloch.is one Of the hold-over sena-
tors, from among whom. as rule. the
president Is generally chosen. However.
his claim.to consideration is not based
upon seniority SOLELY. Mr.. Bloch is an
experienced legislator. who has given a
great deal Of his time and strength to
the public service. He has" served sSr-
eral terms In the house Of delegates be-
fore re was elected to the senate. and in
his two years service In the senate he was
conspicuous IN support Of liberal and
progressive measures.
Mr. Bloch stands for the principles
and policies. with which the Republican
party IN West Virginia has been idcnti-
fled for the past twenty years. He
was a conspicuous advocate Of the pro-
duction tax on natural gas, introduced
the bill, which later became a law, and
guided II through two stormy sessions
OF the legislature. Probably. no moro
important question viii come before the
Legislature this winter than the Qucs-
ton Of taxation. 'Dnrirg his service IN

Tho leadership OF Woodrow Wilson, the
eight years Of his national administra-
ton, has not only been condemned. but
the seal Of condemnation has been put
upon all who stood with Wilson; who
supported his policies. and shared I'm the
supreme foll!es in which he was the
chief leader. Governor Cox made the
fatal mistake Of identifying himself
with the Wilson administration: While
it Is uncomfortable that anything that
Cox could have done. would have furned
the tides Of sentiment running SO
strongly against the nationHl .adTniaIs
tration, It is clear now that Cox de-
stroycd all possible chances Of success
when he accepted Wilson leadership.
OF all = Of the loading Democrats.
Bryan alone comes forth from the dis
aster without loss Of prestige or Of In
fluence. He had the courage and sanity
practically to repudIate the nomination
of Cox He had the wisdom to stand
aloof and SEQ the destruction of the men
who thought they wore destroying him
at the San Francisco convention. He re-
fused TO endorse a candidacy OF which
he could not conscIenttously approve or
preach policies which his judgment con-
demned. With Wilson completely OBJ
liberated, and with all who stood with
him practically out Of the running. II
the Democratic party Is 10 be reorgan-
lied and continued as fighting force.
It will have to find new leadership and
whore will 1t find stronger leadership
than In Bryan himself?
Surprising things happen in the world
of politics. and It Is not impossible that
the Democratic candidate OF 1895. OF
1900 and again OF 1908. may. In 1924.
become the standard-bearer OF his party
and make a fourth trial for the presi-
dency. Certainly there Is no great Dem
ocrat Of national standing to-day who
could successfully contest with Bryan
II h6 sought to make the campaign.

HOW WOMAN SUFFRAGE
WORKS

In 90 far as It is possible to judge
ay superficial indications. national
\ woman suffrage has justified itself. The
d claim that q large majority OF good
woman would not vote has been distinct
Nv nullified. Throughout the country
! and certainly throughout West virginia
> the women flocked to the polls 10 cast
their ballots, performed their duties as
: citizens. without any serious disturb
ance: without difficulty; without en-
/ countering insult or injury. and without
: producing any OF the horror and conlu-
sion that have been so WILDLY pictured
! "a the result OF woman suffrage. Elk
/ cept for the unusual size OF the vote ana
for tho keen interest manifested oS the
! gsrtler sex in the election results the
!, election In West Virginia passed as
, quietly and In some respects with
great deal more decsncy and order than
. any; election heretofore held IN this
= state.
II was anticipated that the number Of
! votes to be cast and counted would
. cause a strain upon tho election machin-
ary greater than II could staEd. with
! much confusion and delay. As matter
. OF fact. the election machinery was
! amply capable Of taking care OF all the
: voters In the large majority OF the pre-
: cincts, and the confusion and delay were
{ not so great as they have been. on many
I previous occasions. Fully one-fourth Of
: the precincts In West Virginia had re-
: ported within five hours OF the time
A that tho polls closed. and enough was
{ known OF tho entire state to tell the re-
) suit with reasonable accuracy long be-
: fore midnight. The Same story comes
, from other sections OF tho Union. Even
I in our crowded cities, women went to
. the polls in great numbers. cast their
= ballots, and II their presence had any
influence at all. II was an influence for
/ order, FOR sobriety and for decency. We
have yet to learn OF q single respectable
wornah being insulted while going TO
vote, Or OF being compelled TO undergo
any unpleasant experience either in the
! voting places or In the approaches there
I, TO- lie, Il be said in justice to Ameri-
can, manhood that, as a rule It conducts
itself decently In tho presence OF its
, women. and particularly. In public
places, and let II also be said 10 the
! credit OF American womanheod that II
J knows how 10 protect Itself with mod
, esty and good sense. We don't think
/ that the first experience OF the women
I voters Of this state has lowered woman
: hood IN the least. On the contrary It
, has. shown itself to be an influence for
better things.

We're feeling we'll and hearty.
and peace Is in our souls; the
Farmer-Labor party has triumphed

chair, and bring n reign OF terror TO
traitors everywhere. The Wall
Street barons Missed him. Kissed
Farley. safe and sane. the piuto-
Gratis dismissed him with snorts OF
high disdaln, and all the hosts OF
treason said they would knock him
cold; but Oh. there were no fieas on
our standard bearer bold. He came
from Salt Lake City, the home OF
Brigham Young. and he was wise
and witty and had fluent tongue.
The farmer left ms barley. In man.
ncr Circumspect. 10 vote for good
old Farley. our Presldent-elect. And
Peter, Mike and Charley. the toll
ers, piled their feet. to vote for good
old Parley, who takes the Woodrow

Harding would harvest Wilson's
socks, and some made claims re-

And some grew sore and snarley, de-

PLACING The Blame FOR COAL SHORTAGE
Of the Three Factors Responsible Faulty Transportation
Is First, Due to Scattered Car Equipment.
-. BY HARRY A. WHEELER
Chairman Committee Coal Chicago Association of Commerce

railroads in December, 1917, class one
roads possessed 100000 freight cars Of
all kinds; live and SeEen-teaths per cent
N bad order and unit for service. Dur
ing the twenty-slX months In govern
meat control the railroad administration
bought 100000 new freight cars and two
lho.Ssnd locomotives.
Previous 10 the assumption Of con-
1r"l ny the government The railroads OF
the country had been purchasing in each
year about the same number or cars and
prvvIhutjyrs purchased by tho govern
mcni ~ twenty-six months. With the re-
SUMPTION OF private ownership ther5
N,Ic returned TO the roads 2.3G5,OO
FIRE ght cars IF all kinds, OF which six
ard >rten-tcnthS per cent were reported
L. b" ia bad condition and unit for
service.
II these figures were accurate, the
rnse would stand that practically there
disable cars 1T the close of twenty-siX
months OF government control AS were
turned over L. tho government when
that control was initiated.
In these twcnty-sN months the pro-
duc,iNc capacity Of the country was
tremendously increased and there would
BE- Il shortage of equipment, even were
al of the equipment available for ac-
tual service. Certain II Is, II the pro-
portion of the box cars of the country
are unfit for the service for which they
were originally built, We may expect
difficult transportation conditions dur
ing THIS crop moving rrind and the
heavy merchandise movement OF the
coming winter
Again, IL is certain that cars were
very widely scattered AZ result Of
the central control over all equipment
and probably not more than twenty to
twcnty-four per cent of the cars were
on the lines originally owning them.
Box cars that should have been West
for grain and other movements were
tied up in eastern terminals. Open top
equipment that should have been In
the East and central West for the
movement Of coal was scattered out
over western lines in an infinitely
larger percentage than the total of the
open top cars owned by such lines.
All OF the intelligent effort that
could be put forth by the present rail-
road executives, aided by the Inter
! state Commerce Commission, could not
in the brief period Of six months work
out a readjustment of these unfaror-
able conditions. Add 10 this the ef-
fort OF the outlaw striHes and II is not
! surprising that shortage exists. Coal
: must, however, be brought from the
: mine to the market and 1t Is absolutely
necessary that the transportation lines
! devote themselves to the Immediate re-
distribution of all coal carrying equip
/ ment and TO use this equipment To the
: highest possible degree Of efficiency
! in both terminal and road movement

come and the winter safely negotiated

Mine labor Is one Of the factorsEwhich
has brought about our present couoition
In the coal situation, but IT Is not the
oply. one and, In our judgment is less
to blame than the transportation cond!-
tions of.thc country. Even though there
NAV be admitted iuequities in the pres
eAt wage arrangement, these would have
been less apparent and less burdcnsome
had the opportunity been Afforded LOT
the miner TO work twenty or more DAYS
each month, instead OF the pare Ton OF
fourteen days, as seems to be the record
Of more OF the coal fields during the
months Of May and juno.
Sharp criticism, for the present s!tu-
alton. is laid upon the mine operator. he
has become an unpopular 1l6urc' In
some instance his performances nave
been faulty. but IN the vast majority
of cases the operator has endeaNored TO
produce the limit OF his capacity ana 70
sell his product ut an average pFiGo,
welding n profit quite comT2raole TO the
average industrial! sarpings that attach
TO general business.
II is scarcely logical. when there Is
wide market for every ton or coal thaI
can be produced. TO suppose that CON
spiracy would be entered INTO .Sa 70 ni nS,
prices may be sustained and in the hope
that larger profits with less depletion
would be obtained out OF limited pro-
ductlon. than with the production KEEP
uD due To- the laCl lHal NV
nor cent Of the coal production OF this
country Is under. contract and Giters no
room for speculation IN a line "heh
market prices are advancing.
For the faults OF which the operaSprS
are guilty we have no excuse - olicr.
We hold no brief for this class Ihat
there are men in this group guilty OF
selfish manipulation is probably true.
In every. line OF human endeaVor such
men viii be found. -,.
wa ought. also to do justice TO the oper-
ator and recognize that, while he IS IN
control OF tho operation Of his mine he
Is not in control Of transportation Oh
his commodity, and cannot continue OPP
erations II there Is shortage or equip
ment with which 70 carry his produc-
ton to its natural market.
Criticism has been leveled at the
transportat ion system OF our country
for their failure TO supply equipment
with which to make storage or coal
possible in addition TO supplying cur
rent needs II is our firm conviction
that. the lack OF adequate transportation
! is the greatest factor in our present
situation; yet. II we lay the blame upon
, the transportation agencies. now re-
turned to private ownership we arc
faEaIti, exceedingly unjust and even adj
hitting that failure here Is tho main
cause Of shortage. we cannot condemn
these who have so newly taken oack
their properties and are rebuilding COM
l. etttive conditions in tho fields OF steam

When the government took over the
