lCOMO Sc CUBRIRA LA
PLAZA?

A numerosas personals, hemos
dido expresarse en- el sentido de
que la plaza habra de cubrirse
por designation presidential.
De acuerdo con una ley, recien-
temente aprobada por el Congre-
so americana, las plazas de Post
master deberan llenarse por opo-
sici6n y no por designation del
Presidente.
De manera, que para ser electo
Postmaster, solamente Sc hara ne
cesario la aprobaci6n de un exa-
men, y no Sc atendera a reco-
nlendaciones politicas, nj a in
fiuencias personales, sino que
aquella persona que demuestre
rFyor preparation, sera la nom
brada.
Pero numerosas personals, Sc
obstinan en- Greer que la plaza de
Postmaster de San Juan sera Gu
bierta por la designation expresa
del Presidente Coolidge, previas
ciertas recomendaciones de rigor
en- estos casos.
No obstante, y a pesar de la
ley recientemente aprobada por
Ell Congreso hemos hablado con
personas autorizadas para EXPIRE
sar su opinion en- cuestiones de
esta naturaleza, quienes nos han
manifestado que la plaza de Post
master de esta capital, no esta
considerable en- la categorfa de las
demas poblaciones, y que por 10
tanto no esta sometida a las mis-
mas reglas, nj es APPLICABLE la ley.
Y con tan encontradas opinio-
nes, resta saber a ciencia cierta
81 la plaza sera cubierta por opo-
sici6n por designation.
A pesar de la ley existente, sa-
bemos que numerosos aspirantes
9l cargo. estan ejerciendo infuen-
cia en- Washington, Y han escri-
to a sus amigos para que le den
impulse la candidatura.
Entire esos candidates fguran
algunos connotados politicos, que
por consiguiente trataran de ejer-
Ger su Influenza politica para

" How like a pleasant fairy tale the

And are they really hanging in q happy

I think they must be singing IN the

"oh, this is Stockings holiday. and this

And we alone may stay awake and
watch the magic sights.
How many days W. trudged about on
restless little feet!
But now we guard the Christmas toy
and hold the Christmas sweet.

MOORE & LESLEY GET CON.
TRACT

Moore & Lesley were awarded the
contract for building the new state
road from Shepherdstown to Kear-
neysville at the opening of bids for
road projects in Charleston last week.
Their bid was approximately $116,-
600 for about five miles of road.
Moore & Lesley were the contractors
on the two road projects between
Charles Town and Martinsburg. In
this work they won the reputation of
being successful road makers, en-
ploying a hustling force of men. At
the completion of the Charles Town
and Martinsburg road early last win
ter, they stored their road-making
machinery near Vanmeter's school
house in the hope that they would
obtain another road contract in this
section. so that it would not be neces-
sary to haul their equipment any
great distance.
Surveyors are now at work on this
road putting in the stakes for con-
struction work, and property owners
along the line have been notified that
the road lines of the full width Of
forty feet will be required.

THOMAS JEFFERSON

Next week occurs the birthday of
one of Americas greatest statesmen.
On April - the nativity of Thomas
Jefferson will be observed.
April 10 will seem just like April
IL or April ID, and yet it is wo tn
while to take advantage of this time
TO stress few of the American ideals
exemplified in the life of this great
statesman. We might say with safe
ty that he more than any other man
of his time exemplified the true spirit
of democracy.
nthe Declaration Of Independence
penned by him. he said as YOU no
doubt remember-"All men are Gre
ated equal" Then in every subse-
quent act, he showed a deep con-
seriousness of the brotherhood of the
entire human race.
How petty seems the snob along
side the great jefferson who walked
to the scene of his own inauguration
attired in a homespun suit to accept
the honor in the hands of the Ameri-
can people to bestow--dressed as
common as any man in the great
throng assembled to cheer.
In his public life he taught great
lesson in federation. As a member of
President Washington's first cabinet
ne served conscientiously along with
The great federalist, Alexander
Hamilton. He and Hamilton differed
fundamentally in their political opin-
ons, and yet both suppressed their in
dvidual views for what they regarded
as the best interests Of the new Re-
public
How fine it would be if our present
day politicians would go back to the
Ideals of Jefferson. and think first Of
the nations welfare and second Of
the party's success.

DARE NOT FAIL.

Charleston, w. Va, April 1--WE
dare not fail those who did not fail
u.s."
That declaration today by Mrs. O.
j. Watkins, state president of The
American Legion Auxiliary, express
ed the viewpoint of an organization
of mothers, sisters and wives of vet
Grams of the late war, in the Ameri-
can Legion Endowment Fund cam
paign.
"You shall have not only my sup
port but that of the Auxiliary a
message from Mrs. Watkins to
Ephraim Morgan, chairman of the
state endowment fund committee,
said. ''This campaign will be put
over with the vim, vfgor, and magni-
tude of Liberty loan campaign. The
Auxiliary will give up everything
else for the period of this campaign
in order that West Virginia may not
only reach her goal but go well over
the top. The work of the Legion
and the Auxiliary must have mark
ed influence in every community"
The American Legion is setting UP
a national foundation of S5,000,0 900
to insure the permanent care and
cure of disabled veterans and to pro-
vide for the proper rearing of
orphans of men who died in service.
The campaign in West Virginia has
the endorsement of leading figures
in the public life of the state. Among
those who have given it unqualified
approval is DIR. Frank B. Trotter,
president of West Virginia universe
ty.
"The effort of The American Leg
ion to raise an Endowment Fund of
five million dollars for disabled vet
Grams and orphans is commendable, .
he said. "To give youngsters, de-
prived of a home by the effect of the
war, the advantage of home life is
just and right We owe it to the
generation following and to our
country to see that they, the descend
ants of those who gave the most,
should have fair chance in life. II
is infinitely better to give these boys
and girls the right start in life than
later to confine them, perhaps. as
criminals We find ninety percent
of crime is the result of unprivileged
childhood We owe it to ourselves,
our children and our country to cor
rect this condition. The American
Legion presents us an opportunity to
erect living statues to sacred men,

CHILD LABOR AMENDMENT is
LOST IN HOUSE; OPPOSE AGE
LIMIT

Charleston, April 4.-Questions of
the manner in which West Virginia
should show its opposition to the
proposed child labor amendment in
the federal constitution produced
most of the action in brief session of
the house and senate yesterday.
The house passed q resolution,
which, beside declaring that the legis-
lature did mot ratify" the amend
ment, pointed to the West Virginia
child labor law as expressing its views
on the matter. This resolution went
to the senate for concurrence. but
possibility of party disagreements on
the form the declaration should take
brought about postponement by the
upper branch of any action, either
upon the house resolution or on
another already on the senate calen-
dar to ratifv the amendment.
The house resolution. beside re-
citing the Congressional action on the
amendment said:
Realizing that each state owes
West Virginia has enacted a child
labor law which is providing the pro-
lection to which its youth is entitled
and.
"Whereas the form and scope of
the proposed constitutional amend
ment, including the age limit, which
seems to transfer this duty to the
federal government is not such as
West Virginia can approve.
Now therefore, be it resolved by
the legislature of West Virginia that
said proposed amendment to the con-
stitution of the United States is not
ratified"
A proposal from the Democratic
side of the house to include also a
declaration that the subject was one
for state and not for federal regula-
ton was barred from consideration.
ON point Of order that it introduced
a subject differing from that of the
main resolution. and the house by a
vote of 70 to II adopted the resolu-
tion
