BERNE TETER HAS
NARROW ESCAPE

Sunday afternoon at Gains Car
age, DIR. J. E. Gibson, was trying out
a new Buick car, stepped on the pow
er lever instead of the brake and
started for the street, passing out the
main door at full speed, his car hit
the car of Berne Teter who was in the
act of putting air in the left rear tire.
The crash was so heavy that one
wheel fthe Teter car was mashed
and Berne was thrown about twenty
feet onto the hard pavement. He or
At first it was thought fatal, DR..
Pierce from Elkins was brought over
the mountain by Charles Teter in the
shortest time ever made between Be-
lington and Elkins and return, but the
injuries which are principly about his
neck were found to be external and
Berne is out again, after another es-
cape from the "doings of motor car.
This makes about the fifth time that
Berne Teter has been in some kind of
an automobile accident. DR.. Gibson
escaped un-injured, but his new car
received some pretty bad scratches.

Justice To All
OUR RoUNDEN DUTY

This newspaper must first of all be
clean, it must be fair, it must be hon
est and without malice in its opinions
and expressions, and it must, at all
times, levote itself unfiinchingly and
fearlessly to the public service in the
interests of the masses of the people.
1t must always combat evil and in
justice.
1t must always fight for progress
and reform.
It must never tolerate cerruptions.
1t must be in sympathy with the
poor and unfortunate.
For Belington it must always stand
with unselfish devotion, for the
achievement of the finest ideals, OF
every high purpose, of every enter
prise, of every step in the march of
progress.
1t must stand for good government,
freedom, equality, the public welfare,
civic and true patriotism and undying
love of country.

THE NEW v. D. LAW

At the recent session of our
State Legislature very string
ent Venereal Disease law was
passed. This bill was introduce
ed into the State Senate by a ply
stefan of wide experience, and
was passed only after mature
deliberation by the committees
and members of both branches
Of the legislature.
The prevention of disease by
public health measures is being
recognized as one O fthe funda-
mental activities of our govern
ment but has never been consid-
cred as state duty, except from
protective scientific standpoint.
The control of social diseases
however, goes further. 1t in
cludes moral problem of great
est imortance. Our new law,
therefore, in protecting the pub
lie from dangerous infections
diseases, must take up the fight
against immortality as well. This
means that our sanitarians and
reformers must find some COM
mon ground upon which to
stand in dealing with this ques-
ton.
The practice of certain immor-
alities is a sociological prolem,
but the resulting spread of dis
ease is distinctly one for our pub
lie health officials. 1t therefore.
becomes impossible to enforce
our new law if we must strip
the question of all moral issues,
and treat venereal diseases as
gravity ofthe situation lies in
the fact that we cannot legislate
virtue into our people unless
the laws are backed by public
opinion. The law against muir
der is an acurate expression OF
public opinion, yet murders are
committed and very often the
murderer escapes conviction or
is pardoned soon after. Our
Sunday Closing Laws and Or
dinances" are enforced only a
spasmodic way which lasts only
as long as public sentiment sup
ports it.
The law for the control of the
venereal diseases is a good one
but it's enforcement will depend
upon the moral stamina OF our
citizens as expressed through
public sentiment. Let us give
our State Board of Health this
support. We do plenty Of
preaching of the right kind and
too much practice of the wrong
kind.

Thirteen Common Mistakes

Judge Mccormick, of San Fran
cisco, says these are the thirteen
commonest mistakes in life:
1. To attempt to set up your own
standards of right and wrong.
2. To try to measure the enjoyment
of others by your own.
8. To expect uniformity of opinions
in this world.
a. To fail to make allowances for
inexperience.
5. To endeavor to mold all dispos-
itions alike.
6. Not to Yield to unimportant tri-
files.
7. To look for perfection in our own
actions.
s. To worry our selves and others
about what cannot be remedied.
8. To consider thing impossible
that we cannot ourselves perform.
10. Failing to help everybody
wherever, however and whenever we
can.
II. To believe only what our minds
can grasp.
~. Not to make allowances for the
weakness of others.
10. To estimate by some outside
quality when it is that within which
makes the man.

TT HE late DR.. Frank w. Gunsaulus
of Chicago ones said: "The mes
sage of Chaplain kiplinger should be

breadth of the land. l can not un-
derstand how any intelligent Amer
lean can fail to appreciate the grav-
ity of the situation which his agile
and athletic mind confronts on the
mighty theme upon which he speaks.
1t is more than prison reform. 1t is
the arousal of the public conscience
with respect to the hapless and hope

represented in the jails of the land

restrictive legislation have been eff.

II the road Is dangerously narrow
now, as is the case where less than
eighteen feet is paved, what will 1t be
in twenty years2
Eighteen feet should be the mini
mum, not the maximum, and on main
travelled roads a greater width will
seem narrow In twenty years. In Eng
land and France the roads are paved
clear to the fences or sides of the
highways, unless a curb and sidewalk
or bicycle path is maintained between
the road and rnce. Every foot Is
kept in good condition. Good drainage
is as mue., part of the European
highways as Is the case with our city
paved streets.
We are at the beginning Of motor
transport. Unless we look ahead and
provide wider pavements, we will find
the highways crowded and our pos
sible relief from railway congestion
annulled. A few dollars saved no"
in narrowing our paved highways will
prove short sighted policy.
We have already seen the folly OF
constructing our canals too narrow
and locks too short. The great lakes
boats needed in Atlantic transport dur
ing the war had to be cut in two and
taken through the canals in pieces,
Ocean ships cannot reach interior ports
until the canals and locks are en-
larged. This is a highway lesson to
US. Look to the future.
