FAIRMONT, Aug I L. Editor,
The West Virginian) We read
in your paper last evening, long
article on Lost Wages When
we got through we felt sorry that
President Harding did not know
of this wonderful writer. He
could have saved all that peace
conference, and oh what relief it
would be to taxpayers. We know
when he reads that wonderful
article, which we expect to send
him, that there will be a vacancy
In the cabinet for this wonderful
man. He will certainly be made
Secretary Of War.
However, we're glad we dom t
know this wonderful person. After
reading the article the night
seemed long and we got UP out Of
our bed to see If this great writer
had not commanded the moon to
stand still, so we are now too
tired to sign our name. We would
also fear a repetition of the story
of Jonah and the Whale" You
know a poor man who labors
could not cope with such a mon
ster. He would be as powerless
