FALSE PROPHETS.

THE fact that the tariff BILL is flexible sche-
j dule of rates makes Il very dangerous footing
for those Democratic candidates who are training
guns upon 1t in impassioned appeal to the voting
public.
Democratic. candidates are now facing audiences
ii West Virginia telling the public how this article
and that article, how this necessity and that neces
sity is going to soar in price to the consumer ard
how much 1t is going to soar definitely giving list
of the things, and the amount the public may be
expected to dig up this in the face Of the desarsd
clause in the bill that gives to the President the
right to change tarir rate at any time he deems
it right and wise. without reference to Congress,
at the recommendation Of the Federal Tariff Com
mission.
over and over again It has been reiterated by
those supporting the bill that the new, tariff bill
gives no excuse whatever to any dealers or mer-
chants to raise retail prices to consumers. Our
merchants are getting ample prices right now for
all the goods that are sold in the American mar
ket imported otherwise, to keep the living stand
ard Of the working classes at the level demanded
in America. The tariff will prevent any future
flooding Of American markets by enormous for
eign put, but there is no faintest in the
world for any boosting Of present prices because
of the tariff in spite OF argument to the contrary
1t takes a great desj. of hardihood to stand
therefore before the public and definitely state that
the public will have to pay raise in cost on a
definite article, and 1t takes cast iron hardihood
to proclaim definite rate, for the tariff rate on
that article may change before the month is out
and render the statement absolutely untrue
throughout.
The flexibllity OF the tariff Law is the thing that
makes 1t an acceptable law. The uncertainty Of
international exchange; the. fluxuation Of prices
and values makes asrigd setting of rates i'm
possible.

PUBLIC INTEREST m ROAD. CONSTRUCTION.

are constant In reporting the active interest,
by Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs IN road building, as

The Randolph Review reports a resolution
adopted by the Rotary at Ell1ins commencing the
Randolph County Court for the fine condition Of
E1kins roads, and extending especial appreciation
Of the work done by the superintendent Of roads
in that county. It isthis kind of appreciation and
Encouragement that gets results, and the Rotary
at Elkins made no mistake in thus making public
appreciation Of good work
It Is not enough 70 conhde the making and main
tanning of good roads to the state road commission
and their representatives, nor to the diligence and

Berton Braley's Poem

Out of reeking tenement she
trips,
Dainty and slim and delicately
Her cheeks are rose, and rose-rel
are her lips,
She is a flower, grown In faint
~ ed air;
You can't believe she could
have flourlshed there,
Where even MONDAY sun is in
4 eclipse,
Where grim reality the glamor
strips
From all LIES dreams and leaves
them stark and bare
Fet here she is "a flower lush and
sweet,
That throve, somehow, in rank
r. and fetid soil;
Young maidenhood, with light and
lifting feet,
And eyes which disilluti IN can
not spoil;
And-miracle which few can un-
derstand- -
There are a million like her In
the land!
