THE PRIMARY.

On Next Tuesday. August 1>t, the
voters of West Virginia. OF both
parties, will enter the primary cleo
for the Democratic and Republican
parties to be before the people for
election at the November election,
which will be November 9TH, 1922.
The Independent has not taken
part in the primary contest and has
cndeavorcd to extend courtesy to all
candidates, giving each space in its
columns at its usual advertising
rates. 1t only urges the people to
take an interest in the primary cleo
tiOn and to vote for the candidate
Of their choice. This applies as
well TO our Republican friends as to
our Democratic friends. Every true
American citizen no matter to what
party he may belong wants TO see
the best men or the best women in
oliicc and this can come about sole
~ by nominating the best for office
The followers of each party should
Vie with each other in naming the
very best out according to their
j'NS> th>' 'iilH IL SolclN Il matter
OF judgement for the voters.
We would further urge that Il
Clean, true American election be
held. The charges and counter
charges of a corrupt primary cleo
ton in West Virginia in May 1920.
was NOT for the best credit of the
high citizenship of West Virginia.
Let this be clean election and no
one will have any regrets and all
will be proud that they did their
full duty.

MIDLAND TRAIL.

On the first page, this week APP
pears Il news item of historic inter
est to Midland Trail through West
Virginia. 1t will be seen that DR.. W
i Black, of Charleston, is Chairman
of an interesting committee and Mr..
+. III. Absolute, of Lcwisburg, to-
gcthcr with Il representative from
each county through which the
Trail passes, compose Il committee
TO work out the facts Of historical
interest and erect markers.
AS We recall, it will be one hun
dred and fifty years. the autumn
OF 1924 since the pioneer army as
semblcd at what is now Lewisburg
and started on its march early in
September of that year and near the
middle of October of that year
fought the famous Indian battle at
Point Pleasant. This is two years
in the future, but by that time Mid
land Trail, no doubt shall have been
completed through West Virginia
ard perhaps through Virginia. No
doubt the very important work of
this committee will have been we'll
near finished at this time. While
we do not know and have no right
TO presume upon the prcrogativeS
Of this committee, yet it would seem
tightly fitting if in the autumn of the
year 1924, if the gathering of the
army and the Battle Of Point Pleas
ant could be fittingly celebrated If
the people of the Valley of Virginia
and south West Virginia could be
assembled by auto at LcwiSburg and
march formed over Midland Trail
TO near Charleston and then 90 by
boat to Point Pleasant, as nearly as
possible the way the army marched
in 1774, it would be celebration
well worth while.
This could celebrate and bring
out all features of historic interest,
the markers could be dedicated,
Midland Trail fOrmcrally opened,
the old battlefield ut Point Pleasant
visited, a return made to The Mid
land Trail and the line of March
taken up to Huntington and the
State line of Kentucky. We know
not whether this committee has the
authority to inaugurate an under
taking Of this kind, but it may be
AAi"t II NotIh Sit dHPc lOT
appointment Of a larger committee
10 be made up of citizens of both
Virginia and West Virginia to work
I'D celebration of this kind. If
tbs were properly worked up, it
would be one of the great events in
the lives Of the two NirginiaS and
II could be made an event of Ma
tIonal Importance. The writer men
iioncd an undertaking Of this kind
10 Senator Chiffon on his visit TO
Levi >Eurg several weeks ago. and
1t appealed to him as the thing to
be done. We were looking forward
to making public mention Of this
next September. but in as much as
this important committee is TO
meet in Charleston next September
and not knowing it's purposes or
what it may determine to do, we
mention it now that these gentlemen
may have it called to mind if they
not already have it in mind as part
Of their work.

HOT WEATHER COMES
ON FAST SCHEDULE

The present hot wave is not an ab-
normal weather condition, according
to Weatherman Moore. However, he
states that the extreme hot weather
has come to this portion of the coun-
try about five days earlier this year
than during the average year. The
temperature at noon Saturday was 49,.
At noon Friday the mercury hovered
around 90.
Friday was the hottest day of the
season thus far for this territory,
said Moore, for on that day the meI-
curry awaited to SO degrees in the
shade in maby Indiana cities. Chi
cago reported a temperature of SO,
which indicated that the hot wave is
general for this section.
The shade temperatures in other
cities Friday were as follows In
dianapolis, 90; Cincinnati, S8; Evans
vile, "a; Springfield. ILL.,, 96; Fort
Wayne, sc. The cool wave which is
now passing over the northwest will
serve to temporarily break up the hot
weather here although it will not be
effective enough to produce any great
lowering of temperature in this Sec
tion. Indications are that the temper
ature will be moderate Sunday with
the mercury standing near 80 in the
shade, Mr.. Moore said.

(Bv Associated Press)

BELFAST, June IL Cardinal
Logue. primate of Ireland, and his
coadjutor, Archbishop O'Donnell,
again were held up by members of the
Ulster constabulary last night when
their automobile was stopped near
Newry by a patrol of ''B" specials.
The constables at first demanded the
chauffeur's license. which he produced
at the same time informing them OF
the identity of his passengers. The
leader of the constables then ordered
the prelates to alight and submit TO
search to which they consented, al
though again giving their names.
A number of bags in the car were
searched and documents carried by the
prelates were scrutinized after which
the party was allowed to proceed
This is the third occasion recently on
which Cardinal Logue has been held
up by constables.
Winston Churchill, British Colonial
secretary, following the second holduI
of Cardinal Logue expressed regret in
the House of Commons over this Incl
dent. He declared that Sir James
Craig, the Ulster Premier had told
him it was far from the wishes of the
northern government that any want
of consideration should have been
shown to any high dignitary of the
Catholic church. Mr.. Churchill also
declared that those concerned" haC

WASHINGTON, June II A bill
denying entrance into American ports
of any ship, foreign or domestic, on
which liquor is sold, was introduced
today by Representative Edomonds,
Pa, ranking representative of the
merchant marine committee which
drafted the ship subsidy bill.
WASHINGTON, June 17-With the
ship liquor issue now injected into the
prospective fight on the bill, Repub-
lican leaders of the house were pre-
pared to confer again with President
Harding today on the question of TAX
ing up the administration ship sub
sidy bill prior to adjournment. While
all declared they would force the mea-
sure to vote if the president still in

reiterate the belief that consideration
of the bill ought to go over until the

committee before reporting out the
subsidy measure yesterday the Bank

aid to ships on which liquor is sold
will be offered on the floor when the
bill is taken up, Mr.. Bankhead an.

FOUR men, | WOMAN
DIE IN IRISH STRIFE;
HOUSES ARE BURNED
(By Associated Press)

BELFAST, June 17.-Four men and
one woman were shot dead and two
men were wounded today in the vicin-
ity of Bessbrook, known as county
Armagh's model village. The houses
of three Loyalists were burned.
The affair is thought to have been
in reprisal for the shooting of two
men Wednesday, one of whom lived
In Bessbrook.
1t is believed that two gangs par
ticipated in the massacre. The firing
an explosions were plainly heard in
Newry.
Those killed were a man and his
son, shot through the head; an aged
couple, who were slain together, and
a young man. A man and his son also
were wounded, and another boy and a
girl were injured by bomb splinters
when the homes of two of the victims
were destroyed.
Members Of another household mar
rowly escaped when the premises
were set on fire. Attempts were made
to burn several other homes, and one
at Cloughrea, near Bessbrook, was at
tackled with rifles and bombs.
LONDON, June 1.-THE campaign
of incendiarism in Belfast has become
so alarming, says the Morning Posts
correspondent. that when the Ulster
parliament re-assembles Tuesday the
northern government is likely to in
troduce legislation imposing the death
penalty on persons convicted of set
ting fires.
The writer ascribes the burnings tc
plot to strangle the industrial life
of Belfast by destroying manufactur
ing and business premises.
