TROOPERS RETURN
TINY WANDERERS

The green hills around Elkins now
flaming with the vivid colors of
spring were reckoning. Three little
waits, wards of the Odd Fellows home
heard the voice of adventure those
hills promised and responded to the
call
They trudged manfully down the
turnpike intent upon making their
way in the world. They We're miss
ed and the West Virginia State
Police were asked to search for them.
Night came. Tired and hungry
but with spirits undaunted the three
tiny travellers cuddled together by the
roadside to awaite the dawn of an
other adventursome day.
Thus they were sleeping the un-
broken sleep of childhood when
Troopers Belcher and Hamper found
them and took them back to the home
nearly a dozen miles away.-Clay

THE IMPETUS TO
BUREAUCRACY

Washington, June + That bureau
cracy has it's impetus in the Executive
Departments rather than in Congress,
is the assertion of the Republican
Publicity Association, through its
president, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr.
The Association says:
"The humorist on the staff of the
New York Evening Post tells of a
young man who went to university
professor with request that he be
given training that would fit him to
become superintendent of a great rail
way system. He also inquired how
long it would take and how much it
would cost. The professor is repre-
sented as replying, Young man, such
course would cost you $4,000 and
require twenty years of your time.
But, on the other hand, by spending
$500 of your money and three months
of your time you may be elected to
Congress. Once there you will feel
yourself competen to direct not one
but all the great railroad systems of
the country
GAS piece Of humor, the story is
not bad. The humorist is worth his
salary however liberal it may be.
But as a portrayal of the mental at
titude of members of Congress, the
story is far, far from the truth and
will be injurious if many people give
it credence. Stories such as this,
which give the people an erroneous
impression of their representatives at
Washington, cannot be fruitful of
good-in fact there can never be good
results from dissemination of untrue
impressions.

OF ROOSEVELT
TO BE RESTORED

New York City, June 7th. "At
last we have begun the actual work
of restoring the birthplace of Theo-
dore Roosevelt" said the Women's
Roosevelt Memorial Association of l
East 57th Street in statement issued
today through its president, Mrs.
John Henry Hammond. "The con-
tracts have been let, the material is
being made, and the physical work
of reconstruction is under way. By
Autumn the shell should be up, and
by mid-winter we should be in and
the activities of Roosevelt House
should be begun, if we are fortunate
to have raised by then S150,000., the
remainder of the building fund.
eve are restoring not only the
house of which Theodore Roosevelt
was born but also the house of his
uncle next door, which was dupli-
cate of it. The two will be called the
Roosevelt House. The birthplace it
self, the Roosevelt Museum, will con-
tain much of it's original furnishings
including the bedstead in which Col
onel Roosevelt was born, and mass
of historic material connected with
his life.
"The remainder of Roosevelt House
will be devoted to the permanent
work of the Association which will
be carried on among the children of
America. This work aims at MAX
ing the American child Roosevelt

DARING ROBERIES
BROUGHT TOLICHT
CHIEF-OF-POLICE /. E. WILSON
ARRESTS FOUR BOYS FOR
ROBBERIES

Four boys, Boyd Yeager, Frank
Simmons, Commodore Pittman and
Howard Kenzie were put under arrest
Saturday by Chief-of- Police /. Z. Will
son for breaking into stores and steal
ing goods and money. They were
given preliminary trial Tuesday
and takento Philippi to await the next
court.
From the chain of evidence gather
ed by Chief Wilson and Detective
White Of the Western Maryland Rail-
way the store of Frank Luzader had
been robbed once, Elliott Mere. Co.
Store once, l.. d. Cooks Store twice,
Grant Grahams Drug Store once; Ira
Crawford's thrice, Beckner's Restau-
rant once, John Cross Store once, L.
d. Cross store thrice, Carlozzi's Bar
Der Shop once, and Wren Hallers Con-
fectionery once-in all there were ten
places robbed and fifteen robberies.
A clue to the affair started when
Chief Wilson found knife and some
old empty meat cans in the old West
ern Maryland Depot which led to the
robbery of Elliott's store and by care
full questioning two other of the
boys were caught then after weeks
and days of close watching and quest
ioning the whole affair was plainly
brought to light, the arrests followed.
This is one of the boldest and most
complete surrenders Of any robberies
of a juvenile hcaracter konwn in the
criminalcourts of the county. 1t had
been reported at different times that
stores were broken into in the city but
not until Saturday was it known who
the cul prits were that were doing the
mischief and it is re GREETED that such
deeds arecommitted by local boys, but
it is no surprise for these boys were
permitted to prowl around after
night some Of them led astray, and
now they must pay the penalty for
their actions and misdeeds. Three of
the boys are under eighteen years of
age and whose sentence may be the
reformatory. This is not the first
time that some Of the same boys were
charged with similar acts,

1.-THE fact is that Congress has
nearly always approached reluctantly
and hesitatingly every attempt to i'm
pose government control over private
business. There was agitation for
government supervision Of the rail-
roads for years and years before Con-
gress finally enacted the laws which
created the Interstate Commerce
Commission. The legislation was en-
acted in response to public demand
not through any assumption Of SUI
perior ability on the part Of members
of Congress.
During the Wilson administration,
there was much legislation giving the
government control over private bust
ness but this did not originate with
Congress. The original proposals
came from the Executive Depart
ments, or from President Wilson, anu
Congress acceded to the demand of
the bureaucrats for control over pri-
vate enterprise. 1t is UNDOUBTEDLY
true that bureaucracy feels itself COM
petent to direct not one but practi-
cally all the businesses of the couil-
try. There is scarcely bureau in
any government department but is
asking Congress for more power over
the lives and activities of the citizens
of the Republic. Scarcely ever, if
ever, has a bureau suggested that it
be relieved Of any Of its power or that
it's duties be abolished.
'It was the President, not Con-
gress, that wanted the Railroad Adj
ministration established 1t was Mr..
McAdoo, not Congress, that scram-
bled the railroads. 1t was the bu-
reaucrats, not Congress, that increas-
ed railroad expenses out OF all pro-
portion to the increase in freight
handled and out of all proportion to
the increase in revenue. The same
will be found to be true in almost eve
nv instance in which private enter
prise has found itself handicapped by
governmental hindrances. 1t is true
that Congress enacts the laws which
give the bureaucrats their power but
this is brought about not through the
initiative of Congress, but at the re-
quest of the executive or in response
to public demand.
Review of legislative history will
show this to be true, and newspapers
that give contrary impression
through the mediumship of their hui
morous paragraphs are in poor bust
ness, to say the least"
