THE CHRISTIAN WORLD pRorEsrs.

- EGARDLEss Of political preference there Is
y practically unanimous protest from the en-
tire press OF the United States over the action of
Great Britain France and Italy, in surrenderng to
the Turks, and all agree that 1t is an unconditional
surrender. Protests are also being made by the
various Christian religious organizations of tina
country but all OF these protests will avail moth
ing, because the great nations responsible for the
situation have made their decision. When the
Dominions Of Great Britain and the smaller ma
lions which are members Of the League Of Nations
suggested that the trouble between the Turks and
the Greeks be referred to the League of Nations,
Great Britain, France and Italy refused to consent
and the decision was reached by the old method Of
diplomacy with which the nations of Europe are
so familiar and which they evidently prefer to tho
present day open and above board methods.
In spite Of the fact that Greece was one of the
allies during the World War and bore its full share
Of the burden, yet on account of the iealousies
existing among Great Britain, France and Italy,
over which shall dominate the countries of the
Near East, they sat down and parceled out the ter
ritory of their former ally and propose to give it
TO their former enemy, the Turk And 1t begins to
look as II the blood thirsty Turk was going to In
sist on getting more than his pound of flesh, be-
cause he is asking that Bulgaria and Russia shall
also be taken into consideration. In the mean
time nothing is settled and the Greeks are prepar-
ing to make desperate resistance against the Turks
when they attempt to take control OF Thrace.
II Great Britain, France and Italy think that the
question has been settled they are simply foollns
themselves for It cannot be settled In the manner
in which they have attempted to do so. ANY set
Element that Is unfair and illogical cannot last
In the meantime, a bewildered world awaits the
outcome

WOMEN JOINING THE PARTIEs.

a LREADY large per cent of women realize
"A that there must be two great parties, and
unless you belong to one or the other of them,
your vote is lost.
They know that to be an independent voter is
to throw your vote away, for no candidate can sue
coed unless he has an organization back of him.
They know that to scratch your ticket is to give
laid and comfort to the enemy" since the, candi-
date on the ticket YOU do not believe In will stand
by his party for the things you do not believe In.
Suppose you were In battle and across from
you, in the ranks OF the enemy was a man you
knew to be "a gentleman and scholar" while
beside you, fighting for the same principles that
you are fighting for, you should discover a verl-
table yagabond, Would you give your favors to
your opponent and train your gun on the man
who stood for your cause?
Parties are bigger than individuals. They re.
present ideals and policies which go on and on.
II we want to help with their program, we can
not afford to trip our cause by throwing our in
huence to the enemy or putting into power one
who will do all he can to hurt the measures we
IRE standing for.
Candidates are human and are temporary, but
party ideals are bigger than our humanity and arc
permanent. We do we'll to align ourselves with

CONTRACTORS AND ROAD COMMISSION
CHARGED WITH BEING NEGLIGENT.

AT the meeting of the Fairmont Chamber OF
EAscommerce held Monday evening at the court
house, at which representatives OF the Chambers
Of Commerce and other organizations Of Clark3-
burg, Morgantown and Warrington were present
charges were freely made that both the State Road
Commission and the contractors doing the work
had been negligent in carrying on the work of i'm
proving the state highway between Clarksburg and
Point Marion. 1t was brought out that the con-
tractors had not pushed the work when both men
and material could be had in abundance at low
prices and that the equipment being used on the
woEkwas not adequate for the size of the contracts
II was charged that the State Road Commission
had been acquainted with the situation for months
and that It had not taken any steps to speed up
thelwork, although 1t had promised that the road
between harrisburg and Point Marion would be
completed before winter.
Owing to the railroad strike and the shortage
ot cars caused thereby, 1t is now hard to obtain
material and when the coal strike was settled
many OF the men left the road work and went back
to the mines 1t is stated that in spite of these
conditions, neither the contractors or the State
Road Commission are making any real effort to
keep the work going. Some Of the contractors
complain that they cannot obtain sufficient men
while contractors other road work claim to be
able to obtain all the help they need. The cham
bers commerce and other civic organizations of
the communities interested In having the highway
completed this fall, have now taken the matter
Of cars up vigorously with the railroads with
yieWgot obtaining material, and the railroads have
promised to do their part. These organizations now
insist that the State Road Commission bestIr itself
and compel the contractors to hurry up the work

Two mites are located between clarksbugg
and Eaitmont. three miles between Fairmont and
Morgantown, and one and one-half miles between
Morgantown and Point Marion. It Is pointed out
that there will be large additional cest to the

the fact that It is expensive to have an organiza-

II the work is not completed now, It will be July
Of next year before It is finally finished.
The feeling is very strong that IT would be

to complete the few miles yet remaining and will
also work great hardship and inconvenience on

commission and the contractors and it is now up
to both to get busy.

SPORT ROYAL.
Tennis has a SAVIOR, baseball has a

Golf possesses magic whel rs

But all Of them seem palltd, and all
Of them 5eem tame,
When stacked against the glory OF
the truly Royal Game:

like a kid,
When twenty-five young giants get
out upon the grid!
l love to watch the plgskin when
it's booted with a thud,
I love to see the scrimmages 60
heaping in the mud,
And there's no panorama that has
ever been unreeled
Like watching some young LochIn.
var go through a broken
My ecstasy boils over, cannot
keep 1t hid,
When twenty-five behemoths are
battling on the grid.
The crowds that shrek and thun.
der, the pennants all awave,
The youth that chants its slogans
forever blithe and brave.
The strength and grit and spirit OF
backfield and of line
That battle for their colleges with
courage high and fine:
Oh, it's the game triumphant. all
other sports amid,
When twenty-five leviathans are
tearing up the grid.
