MIR. WILSON'S RUSSIAN
POLICY

In note 10 President Paul Hymans
OF the league OF nations. IN regard 10
mediation in Armenia. President Wilson
says that he regards q public agree
ment among the powers not 70 violate
the territorial integrity OF Russia as
sine qua non TO the pacihcatton or the
states bordering on Russian territory.
He also expresses the BELIEF that the
Russian revolution. "benet!cent in It's
main purpose" must be developed TO
satisfactory conclusion by the Russians
themselves
There would seem little need Of such
an expression OF policy a. the present
time. except as it may apply 10 the
Japanese occupation OF eastern Siberia.
1t was thought several weeks ago that
France might head movement to
overthrow the Bolshevist government
Il. which Poland. Rumauia and Turkey
would also participate. Premier BRAND.
however. has stated that France Will
not participate in any offensive against
Russia, but will help her allies II any
OF them be attacked by the SoVtets.
Neither England nor Italy nor the
United States has at any time planned
aggressive action against the Bolshe-
visits. This nation has opposed the con-
tinued japanese occupation OF Siberia,
and a general agreement such as asked
by Mr.. Wilson would be an indirect
method Of bringing about a withdrawal.
Mr.. Wilson certainly has very tender
regard for the feelings OF the Bolshe-
visits. Why not make an expression OF
q policy on their part not TO violate
the, territory Of any other country q
sine qua nom" The Bolsherists ara
nor seeking primarily 10 organize and
improve Russia, but to extend their
doctrines and their power to the rr5c

unite in an expression such as the
president desires. the Soviet government
Shtnld be required to give similar as
suFSnces.

Bolsheyist control as phase OF the
Russian revolution. Tie Is. OF course.

FOR CAPITOL REMOVAL

Editor Inte!l!gencer.
Sir:-Tne removal OF the seat Of
government Of the state where II can
be easily reached by all the people OF
the state IS assured. No one speaking
for the southern section OF the state
has assigned any valid reasons why
Charleston should be continued as the
capital city.
Those VINO have tried to assign rea-
sons have failed. If the members OF
the state Legislature" feel for any rea-
son that they should not vote to re.
move the capital then they should be
wiling to put the matter in lega! shape
for the people OF the state to vote
upon il. This would be fair, and the
right should not be denied the people.
In fact this matter should really be
decided by vote Of the people.
The report circulated here that the
members of the nous. OF delegates will
likely favor removal Of the capitol
has caused our people 10 heartily ap-
Maud the members o: this body. The
further report that likely few state
senators who rcsid" north Of the Little
kanawha river Will oppose the removal
mas brought forth from the people re-
siding here nothing but the scvcrrst
censurc and condemnation. Why mem
bers of the house Of delegates or state
senators representing northern and
central sections OF the state should be
against removal Is a proposition that
We would like for them 10 explain to
us These gentlemen when they return
nome in a few days vii find themselves
in hot water. not only knee deep, but
clear over their heads.
No one can seriously object to
Clarksburg as not being tn" rogical
place for the new capitol building. This
question has been settled to the salts
faction OF a large majority OF the pco-
pie Of the state. What We now want
Is action; proper procedure nthc part
Of the legislature.

But it IS not probable that any Ct the

dents OF the Island have pledged thep-
seless to report all violations OF the
trafrc ordinances 10 the police and to

There will. OF course. be violations
which none OF these so Will see. but the
knowledge OF their action will deter

ample should and no doubt will be fol-
lowed by many other citizens
The Island people arc also for legis-
moro rigid control over its traffic, and
to, impose more drastic penalties upon
yiolatOrs.
The police department is guarding the
schools at dismissal time. and the city
has ordered special warning signs to be
placed near all school buildings
All OF these things are excellent. and
their combined effect should be good.
I, should. be remembered. however
that not all fatal accidents are due to
speeding or other violations OF traffic
ordinances.
