RAILROAD SCHEDULES

I'm an open letter in his own
paper. Senator Capper points -
what should BE- a fundamental Of
the structure Of railroad freight
schedules This is special favor
in low rates for all products of
the land. The rates on high class
frieights are widely distributed
and do not materially affect ulii-
mate prices. The rates on com
moditicS are paid by the pro-
ducer; they cannot be passed
along as can high class freights.
where prices are domestic in
range and not fixed by foreign
demand and foreign markets.

AIR CRAFT WIN AGAIN

Except for those naval experts
who will be convinced by nothing
short of battle test. the bomb
ing Of the old Alabama by army
airplanes has apparently thrown
the weight Of probability on the
side Of the air forces and against
capital ships Of future wars, Rear
Admiral Fullam (retired declar-
"a the destruction Of the Alabama
by big bombing planes was the
most impressive spectacle Of his
naval career. While his remarks
lacked the Jubilant tone Of the
army experts his words were an
admission that the determining
war force Of the future on land
as well as at sea will be in the air.
Whatever doubt is east into the
summing up in the latest test Of
efficiency in the air comes from
the fact that the ship destroyed

TEACHERS INSTITUTE,
(From the Hampshire Review.)

AS will be noticed elsewhere in
this paper the teachers institute is
to be held at Augusta this year. The
writer has always maintained a pc
culiar interest in the teachers in
stitute. While it has been a great
many years since he left the worI,
of teaching his interest in it has
never diminished and with possibly
one exception, he has managed to
spend at least little time in every
county institute held during that in
terval. Knowing the splendid spir-
1t Of the Augusta people he feels
sure that every effort will be made
to take care Of the institute there
and while he would have been glad
for the institute to have remained
at Romney, yet he wishes to assure
the Augusta folks that with Rom
ney, loyalty to the county is the first
and the Romney peo-
pie will take as much pride in max.
ing the institute a success at All.
gusta as they would were it held

ABOUT TIME TO STOP 1T.
(Erom the Eairmont Tinnes6

Five thousand dollars were
thrown away; one person was seri-
ously and large number slightly
hurt; majority of the citizens seri-
ously inconvenienced as the results
of shooting explosions in Fairmont
on the Fourth of July. Public SEN
timent has risen to such a strong
protest against the practice and the
waste that it would not be surpris-
ing if official action was taken to
prevent the practice in the future.
One solution, offered yesterday by
a resident who is strongly opposed
to the promiscuous firing of explo.
sives on crowded streets and gath
ering places, is that the fire cracker
and the torpedo be permanently ban
ned in Fairmont, and that fireworks
displays shall only be ignited b.
those who have secured a permis-
sion to 50 act from the city gov
eminent. This will prevent chill

agreed to, but the company at the
