Work Between Little Indian
Creek and Marion County
Zine Held UP.

Construction of the Morgantown
pike between Little Indian Greek
and Morgantown will be completed
about the first week in August, ac-
cording to information obtatneu
by The West Virginian today from
Cole Brothers at Morgantown. who
have the contract for that part of
the pike. One and fourth miles
of the road were opened up Sun
day, and work will be started pour
ing concrete on the. remainde. Of
the gap north Of Little Indian
Creek on Thursd ay. Cole Brothers
have been pouring about 500 feet
OF concrete day. and when the
work starts Thursday, beginning
at Little Indian Creek and work
ing back toward Morgautown, no
Interruptions expected
Between Little Indian Crek
and the Marion County line, how
ever, section Of the road being
constructed by Sis1er and Morrs Of
Marietta, the work is practically
at stand still because Of the fail
ure of the contractors to receive
materials, which have been held
un bv the shopmens strike on the
railroads. About forty cars en-
Lowesvile have been tied up in the
blockade, it is reported here, and
there is small Likelihood that the
last gap in the road between Fair
mont and Morgantown, which is
five and eight-tenths miles long,
extending from the Marion County
line to Little Indian Creek. will be
completed this year. One mile a
month is the average OF the con-
tractors on the concrete road. and
the work will probably be stopped
this year by the severe winter
YEA Their. The road Will unques-s
tionably be completed early next
spring, however.
Sisler and Morris also have the
contract for the Point Marion end
of the state highway from Clarks-
burg to the Pennsylvania line, and
it has been intimatd tina: Cole
Brothers may go to the aid OF the
Marietta contractors when the
Morgantown contractors have
completed their work next month
To aid in the construction Of the
road between Little Indian Creek

FATHER Of HIS COUNTRY.

"a an address delivered recently "a Grand Forks
the speaker referTeds to the difference between
Washington and Jefferson in their cancentions sc
gavernueut. Washington, who had seen and suf-
l1eIed from the disadvantages due to lack of co-ordi-
nation among the colonies, emphasized the import
anee Of a strong central government respected by
its citizens, and able to maintain itself against ali
Ieolners. Jefferson stood for the most complete ia.
dlvidual liberty possible, and for the widest possible
measure of local independence in matters 81 gov
eminent These conceptions were placed against
each other in an attitude. Of rivalry, a rivalry mark
ed BY. no little passion and bitterness. Yet. said the
speaker, both men were right, and it would have
peen unfortunate indeed if the p~rinciples5 advocated
by either had been omitted from the political struc-
ture which they aided in erecting.
There is need today perhaps more than at any
other time In the history Of the nation for attention
TO the principles on which Washington based all his
plans OF government. We have been drifting SO far
N the other direction that there has grown up a ten
dency. to look upon government almost with con-
tempt, asa convenience to be twisted and turned ia
ut the whim of the moment, Instead of as a perma-
nent and concrete expression Of the vital principles
OF human lite.
Washington believed in a strong and capable gov
eminent, not as a substitute for the personal charac-
ter and effort OF the citizen, but as the guardian of
ms rights and the effective guarantor of his liberty.
we need such guarantees, and we can have then,
only in the kind OF government which the wisdom,
OF Washington conceived as essential to the see,,r-
