The Values Thet
Why Wait Longer?
There's many a family simply
aching" for coy, comfortable
home Of their own. From father and
mother down to Baby Anne, every
member breads the yearly menace of
moving. Uncertainty Of tenancy
discourages the planning of a per-
manent home. And, worst of all, the
monthly rental contributes in no way
toward the ultimate ownership Of the
property.
Nearly every renter realizes all too
well the significance of these obser-
vatons, but until recently he has felt
justified in his seeming error be-
cause of war time prices and the un-
certainty Of future values.
But why wait longer now?
Utmost instances readjustedprices
are in evidence, and taking into con-
sideration the steady and healthy
growth of Failmont, the value is
there.
Turn now to the Classified Section
Of this paper. Note the host of real 4
estate offerings. Every evening
you'll find the West Virginian to be
time and money savers in the impor-
tant matter of selecting home, So
well has this been proved over and
over again to both sellers and buyers

The supreme court through Chief Justice Taft re-
Gently handed down a decision in regard to ~picketing
of industry which was an eye-opener for radical labor
leaders and ~agitators.
Now comes a second knockout blow to these dis
turbers of industrial peace and prosperity in the dec
laration of Ben w. Hooper, vice chairman of the Rail-
road Labor board, IN his recent address in New York
when he says that organized railroad labor and rail-
road capital has a public trust to perform in render
ing efficient and uninterrupted railroad service to the
people.
Railroad labor, he said, has no right morally at
least, to tie up tie railroads and destroy the property,
business, health, comfort and lives of innocent men,
women and children"
But this moral obligation does not mean organized
labor on the railroads should be stamped out, as had
been advocated in last falls crisis, he said. The prob
lem, he added, is chow to deal with just demands iair-
ly and humanely and how to curb unjust demands and
control such activities as threaten public welfare"
'The right of labor to organize is based on sound
principles recognized by congress and sanctioned by
the courts" he said. 'Tf organized labor is to be per-
mitted to throttle individuality, destroy initiative,
exalt ineiieiency, dominate management, limit produc-
ton, ignore rights of the public and set up a class gov
eminent, then, indeed, is this country headed for boil
shevism and death"
NJ Hooper's fearless statement Of the case applies
with equal force to all labor and industry and upholds
the basic American principle of freedom Of the indi-
vidual and protection of his life and property under
our form Of government.

THE Turks, .unspeakable' as they are, have a right
to live in their homeland. The Greeks cannot hope to

ter for themselves and the world. At the same time,
thu supreme council should make a clean sweep Of the
Turks from the soil Of Europe. Constantincple should
be held in crust until q stable recognized government
has been established in Russia, SO that that nation may
have a voice in the disposition of Constantinople and
the DardAnelles.
"A lively intrigue has been on foot for weeks, look
ing to the aggrandizement of Bulgaria at the expense
Of Greece. The Bulgars, who proved their treaehery
IN the late war by turning upon their ally, Serbia, are
-ow trying to make it appear that they are the most
progressive of the Balkan peoples and entitled to more
territory. The supreme council can well afford to
prove its impartiality toward Greece by preserving her
European territory intact against Bulgarian wiles.
Efforts are being made to annex Austris to Ger

COOP GAINING AGAINST EVIL.

It is encouraging to discover any sign Of the tri-
umph of good over evil. Upon the stability of gov
ernments the well being Of peoples must depend.
1t is of prime Importance that these things obtain The
moral phase of the situation comes afterward.
The Washington Post sees in world affairs a better
general situation and a brighter promise of the future
than at any time since the ending of the world war.
1t says:
1.-The forces that are working for peace and good
viii seem to be gaining upon the forces Of evil through
out the world. There are bad spots, notably in Rus
sra, India, Egypt and Asia Minor, but signs Of i'm.
provement are not wanting even In Russia. The men
at the head Of the British empire are doing their best
20 keep down anarchy in India, Egypt and Persia. Red
propaganda from Russia has done damaging work in
those countries, but there Is reason to believe that the
worst is over in that respect. Lenine admits that his
communistic system has met with a setback which will
last for so years. He calmly proposes to adopt CAPT.
taltsm for that period, in order certain how capt.
talism triumphed over communisi m the end he NAV
become quite a capitalist, at the rate he is changing.
"As the Russians resume the system which includes
private ownership of property, individual control of in
dustry, and the use OF money, their economic condi-
ton improves and their output increases. Soon Rus
sa may have something to export, In which case Il
may be possible for the Russian people to obtain food
by purchase and not by charity. The people have not
been at fault Mt any time, as they have been willing to
produce fo- export, but have been prevented by the
terrorists.
ky's efforts to keep the red army intact for operations
against Roumania next spring, the most reliable re-
ports indicate that there is nothing to fear in a mill
tary sense from Russia. Roumania has a stout army
Of its own, and Is on guard.
"The STRINGS in India and Egypt are ominous evil
dences OF revolutionary activities. The British gov
eminent is alive to the situation, however, and IL does
not seem probable that the revolutionists can do any
thing more than keep alive local disturbances. If the
British government had not dealt with Lenine's outfit,
but on the contrary had kept vigilant watch against
red propaganda flowing into India and Egypt, there
would have been less present danger. It took the Brit
ish government a long time to realize that Lenine and
his fellow conspirators were IN earnest when thew de.
clared that their hands were raised against all organ.

A few DAYS ago one Of Caspers principal business
men happened in Denver. His mission was 70 setne
accounts with Denver firms with which he dealt ms
accounts running upwards Of twenty thousand dol
lars monthly, and had been for several years 10 com
plete his financial transactions and avoid exnAusting
his credit at his local bank, he offered one OF the lead
inc banks of Denver q city of Casper warrant Tor Soor-
600 upon which he desired temporarily $4,000. he
was well known to the bankers and his standing was
in the Al class and his security was in the same class.
After the usual stalling the Casper man was advised
to secure his financial accommodation IN Casper. Colo,
rndo banks were taking care Of Colorado people and
not Wyoming people. -
This peeved the Casper man, who proceeded to tell
his banker friends how Wyoming was engaged in the
same laudable undertaking. How he himself was
good for twenty to twenty-five thousand monthly,
cited many others good for equal amounts, how the oil
industry Of Wyoming had dumped something like
$780, 900, 600 into Colorado, how Wyoming industrial,
construction ard general business enterprises had been
steady contributors in the great work Of taking care
Of Colorado people and business concerns. Having es-
tnblished his case against the nsrrowness Of the Dem
yer bankers, and his right to the temporary financial
accommodation he desired the Casper man seved no
tice of the severance of business relations with any
town and state that shared that particular banks
views of business and financial affairs, and the trans
fer of his patronage and that of his friends to other
and less provincial centers.
As a first evidence of his determination the Cas-
per man stopped at a music house on his way to the
train and cancelled an order for a $4,000 piano, in
tended as a Christmas present for his wife. On ar
rival home an identical piano was purchased in a Cas-
per music store for exactly $1,000 less than the Den
yer dealer charged for the instrument
The habit of helping Denver and Colorado people fl
nancially and otherwise is broken SO far as the Cas-
per business man, referred to. is concerned. One Of
his Nav Year resolutions was never again to spend a
dollar Of Wyoming money in Colorado II he could
spend 1t elsewhere.

PURE HYPOCRISY.

We read in newt reports how five big New York
dailies are using German news print paper because
they can buy it at $50 g ton against a domestic price
of about $50 at present German paper mill workers
are getting weekly wage with q gold equivalent Of
1884 which is but little more than the average daily
wage of the American paper mill workers.
American paper manufacturers state that under
present cost of production the German price is SIS a
ton below manufacturing expenses here and many
mills cannot break even at $50 a ton or Accent paper.
We cannot have the highest wages, the shortest
hours, and at the same time, the lowest commodity
prices in this nation. 1t is nothing to Drag about for
der existing conditions unless he, at the same time, has
the nerve to advocate that American mills manufac-

RELIEF.

Five days after the president approved the bill APP
propriating 5000 900 for Russian relief, the grain
was moving into the famine districts. The money used
was not actually in the treasury, but was in the hands
of the Grain Corporation ready for use without the
delays frequently incident to the payment OF treasury
congress has pursued in the matter, on the ground that
it furnishes a dangerous precedent that may embar
rass US in the future when other countries are In dis
tress. There is no need for such fears. Future con-
crosses will not be governed in any way by the ac-
tons Of their predecessors, each session being lin.
tied in what 1t may do only by the constitution. II
requests are hereafter made for American relief, each
case will be decided purely on its merits, without ref
erence to what may have been done for Russia or any
other country.
