THE FACTS IN THE CASE.

The thirsty vets are making lot OF

sentiment on the prohibition question
as evidenced by the recent elections

and Public Morals of the Methodist
Episcopal Church gives the following
facts concerning the wet and dry is

Ohio majority against beer and wine

California majority for bOne-d

These figures don't indicate any SER

IN MEMORIAM.

Mr.. Willoughby Manning Lemen
died March 5, 1922, aged 7S years, ten
months and five days.
How sweet the thought, where'er by
death
Our friends from us are riven,
We too shall soon resign our breath
And live with them in Heaven.
How sweet the thought, though Jesus
be
To faiths dim view here given,
Death will remove the veil and we
Shall see the Lord in Heaven.
One less on earth, another in Heav-
en-. One less to bear the cross of
human grief has entered the portals
of glory to enjoy eternity of unbound
ed bliss, there to wear the crown of
life and bask in the sunlight of His
presence who redeemed him with His
most precious blood and called him
to an inheritance that fadeth not
away.

UPHOLD THE LAW.

1t is said that President Har@ing and
his cabinet are becoming anxious Owe
the way the prohibition law is being
violated. No wonder. A very large
proportion of the officers appointed to
enforce the statutes are crooked or or
OF sympathy with the law, having
been forced OF the department BY %
lltical pressure, and are worse tha.
useless. This applies to courts in
some instances, as we'll as inferior Of
fcials. Consequently bootleggers and
illicit dealers have little fear of pun.
ishment.
The fact is, the law ought to be en-
forced il it takes the whole Army and
Navy TO do IT, The worse violators
are criminal foreigners who. instead
OF respecting our laws, are openly de-
liant and contemptuouS because they
evate punishment so easily. To bear
out this statement we reprint the fol.
lowing names taken from single item

OF arrests in big liquor conspiracy

WHY NOT PULL TOGETHER?

State Senator-elect M. Z. White,
chairman OF the Republican State CON-
mittee, in a recent statement, express
ed the hope that the coming session
Of the Legislature would be produce
tive OF much desirable legislation,
even il the Senate and the House OF
Delegates will be Of opposite politics.
az have talked TO a number of Re-
publican Senator'S" he said, "and
find on every hand disposition to for
get politics and try to arrive at the
best possible solution OF matters which
will confront us. Really, there is no
political issue to be raised The best
politics any man can PLAY in the West
Virginia Legislature at this time is
to do his best to serve the needs Of
the State"
This is truly sensible II will be
practically impossible for one party to
put over any political trick on the
other, and the sensible thing will be
to work together for the general good.
There is plenty of public business that
needs attention.
There could be no better time than
the present to do what should have
been done many years ago-put a pro-
duction tax on coal and oil and gas
The shrewd and cunning representa-
tives Of these interests have hereto
fore managed to evade this equitable
tax by playing one political party
against the other. This Is the year
when they ought to fail in this here
tofore successful scheme. If Dem
ocratic House and Republican Sen
ate should put it across neither could
be blamed by the interests while both
would be commended by the public.

A RELIEF.

The people of Jefferson county gen
orally are not sorry that the trials Of
the miners and union officials are re-
moved from Jefferson county. While
it is true that some persons have
profited financially by the business
brought to the county, as whole the
benefits have been outweighed BY the
disadvantages. Jurymen have been
taken from their homes and their bus
mess for long periods, aspersions have
been cast on a considerable number Of
men connected with the cases, and a
good deal of bitterness has been en-
gendered in the county II reports are
true, methods have been introduced
here that have not contaminated the
people in this section heretofore, and
their evil effects may last long time.
We are safe in saying that there will
be a general feeling Of relief that we
are to have no more of these cases in
fferson county.

THERE ARE OTHERS.

Mayor Hvlan Of New York announc-
es with considerable flourish his in
tention to drive out of that city every
man connected with the Ku Klux Khan.
While he is getting ready for this big
job the mayor might practice on the
hordes of crooks of various sorts that
have nourished unmolested during
his administration hold-up men, gun
men, thieves, murdercrs, crooked po-
lice men and other bad actors who are
great deal worse than the Ku Klux.

TIME TO ECONOMIC.

Now that the people are paying their
taxes, they are realizing more fully
what the extravaganza of officials in
public Office means. There never has
been a time in the history of our COM
munity or of our State when there was
such burden of taxation upon the
people-a burden that in many cases
Is actually Srievous. 1t is time to
call a halt on extravaganza.

SOMETHING WRONG.

The farmers bloc in Congress seems
to be working splendidly, but some
how the political results are not ap-
parent. The farmer is still paying the
highest sort Of prices for everything
ne has to buy, while at the same time
he has to take Just what is offered him
Tor what he has to sell. There's some
thing wrong somewhere

XIII cotton growth early to pre-
vent new weevils breeding. The older
weeyils do not stand so good chance
Of getting through the winter.
Plow under or destroy all cotton
stalks. thus destroying many weevils
alternating in the stalks and prevent
ing weevil from finding shelter in
them.
Burn all dead grass, weeds and
other refuse along fences, etc.
Many weevil will be found hiber-
mating such shelter.
Weevil infestation in the Spring

starts from the weevils which have
ali shelter that will permit them to
get through the winter alive.
Everyone in each community must
