EnactinG the Wilson Bill i'm Advance.
The JOURNAL held last week that a
strike here will play precisely right
INTO the hands of the Nova Scotia
people as well as into those of our
home competitors, and we will now
prove it in one brief sentence quoted
from the Mcbride president of the
United Mine Workers, etc
If we furnish now more than half the coal
Canada uses and pays the 60 cents tariff on,
need we be afraid to let in Canadian coal free ?
In coal Mcbride is free trader.
Why:
Because Ohio, Illinois and Indiana
Goals do not go to the seaboard.
Yet Maryland miners are asked to
throw away their seaboard man ket-
for what
To re-tnstate tr0geS in Section Where
tartf competHion does not and cannot
redch
The Wilson bill, as it left the House
Of Representatives, does no more.
Yet men, travelling in the name of
labor, are allowed to come in hele,
speak, post bills. call mass meetings,
exact votes and, perhaps, declare ii
strike-for what
To do IN the most pacttcat FORM what
the original Wilson bill proposed, and
to DO it at 0nce-months before the
Wilson bill can go into effect.
And that Is not the worst of it. A
strike now practically makes coal free,
even though the Senate is able to re.
tain the duty of 10 cents per ton.
Because free coal is no worse than
q lost market.

The Better Way.

Somebody in the Keyser Echo writes
this way:
When 1t is plain to all that ad edlOrem
duties give rise to fraudulent invoices and
undervaluations, why does the democratic
party propose to substitute it for specific
duties? If any one can tell why they will
confer favor on many by making it known
through the columns of the Echo.
This is trouble with the entire
system of tariff taxation, whether
levied specifically or nd ralorem.
The poor mans yard of carpet under
the specific system costs Just as much
tax as the rich mans.
But if Congress will give us % per
cent. all gdl0rem tariff on coal, we will
get a great deal more protection of
coal than - cents per ton yields.
Hence, the JOURNAL prefers the
ad ralOrem plan in indirect as well as
direct taxation.
The golue of Georges Creek coal
would then protect it.

\ Case in Point.
regions.

The Frostburg JOURNAL is puzzled to know
what advice the Courier intends to give the
woman who asks how she shall make her
husband leave off chewing. The Courier says,
whatever it means, that she, herself, shall
make him leave Oft. 1t is not an answer to
her question at ALL for that was as to the
how,-Keyser CIV. Va) Echo.
1t is likely the Cumberland Courier
will resent any implication of dis
crepancy between what it "says" and
what it means"
Besides, only the Homecoming Recie,o
has copyright upon the journalistic
privilege of saying in the same breath,
same diction and same smile what it
means about wolves and doesn't mean
about sheep.
But the Echo, skipping to another
article, inquiries:
Do we understand the JOURNAL to assert
that it is proper to say 81 will learn you bet
ter ~ 81 will learn you to write?'
The JOURNAL was about to request
the Echo to wait until it again heard
from Reader" of Homecoming, but it
will forego that delay and say that the
use of the verb ''learn," in both SEN
fences is literally proper, but 81 will
teach you better" is more in accord
with modern taste, and 81 will train
you to write is equally preferable.
This on the principle that in ethics or
scholastics teach is more fitting, but in
writing-a manual as we'll as mental
exercise, train is a better term than
either ''learn" or teach.
The demands of modern taste, how
ever, rob learn" Of its only benign
possibility. For whether it be schol-
astic, moral or religious instruction
that is to be impaired, "it is more
blessed to gice than receive"
Learn" therefore, ought to be a
word whose use should be as elastic
at least as that of "inform," for one
may with equal pathological facility
Uniform himself or Uniform others"
The JOURNAL will now ask the Echo
a question concerning the following
clip from its columns:
The South Branch Gazette copies our per
sonal about Sergeant Head and credits it to
the Elkins Ne'eS. We hadn't noticed that
the Ne~S stole it.
Are we to understand from this that
it Is proper to say-''we hadn't noticed
that the Ners stole" or had stolen at ?"
The JOURNAL is not so eXacting
about this, however, as it Is anxious
to show that the benevolent character
of the verb, "learn," especially in the
dual sense of Inform" should not
give place wholly to the mercenary
complexion of its office.
No one can be charged Nth stealing that
which is gicen, whether it be money or
information.
But if "learning" is to be held strict
ly as something to be acquired, the
Elkins Nesos merely exercised one of the
acknowledged piraticai prerogatives of
the modern pupil. 1t 'stole" inform
alton from the Echo--an act which the
Echo seems to uphold with one hand
and pull down with the other, and thus
enacts contradiction of morals which
would be impossible were "learning'
not regarded as incommunicable, even
as a charity.

Not the Time Nor the Place.

Not the Time Nor the race.
There never was time in the history
of this coal region when it was more
absolutely important for the miners to
stick to their work than now.
|, Our most aggressive competitor
IN this country to day is the Poca-
hontas region, whose coal approx
mates ours in steam raising power
more nearly than any coal that is
mined.
>, Next to it is the coal mined in
the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad
region.
With these two regions at work and
our region idle, the situation means
this.
That if Pocahontas should get a
foothold in the class of coal consump-
ton which still adheres to this region
for supplies, Pocahontas will undoubt-
eddy hold permanently all it thus gains.
This has been done and it can be done
again.
In the face of two facts that ought
to be well known any further inroad
by Pocahontas upon our market do
main is freighted with peril to every
interest in this region:
>, The Georges Creek market has be
come very limited one. 1t has not
one-fourth the sariety of trade nor one
third the territory of consumption it
covered thirteen years ago.
>. We have, therefore. no more trade
and no, more territory to spare.
Hence, it is of the utmost Importance
that our people should do nothing that
will help these two strong competitors
to supplant our coal in the territory
which can still be held if we are will
ing to supply it.
Last but not least-the Nova Scotia
coal interests are not blind to the won
derful opportunity strike here will
afford the provincial Goals to come
into the American market on the east
ern seaboard. 1t is just such an OPP
portunity these interests are waiting
and watching for.
With Pocahontas and G.. u o. r.
competition on one side and Nova
Scotia on the other, Georges Creek is
between the upper and neither mill
stones of dangerous rivalry.
In the light of which we may say
that this is not only not the time to
stop work, but Of all regions on this con,
tinem the Georges Greek region can least
atorI to STRIKE
By keeping at work and promptly
giving our customers the coal to whose
use they are accustomed, Pocahontas
can be held at bay and Nova Scotia
kept out of the country.
But, quitting work, we .torce our
customers to abandon the use of our
coal and take another; we destroy the
integrity of our region as Il reliable
source of supply, and in various ways
make redemption of trade thus lost a
Herculean task, if not an imposslbility.
The JOURNAL has held for years the
opinion that all future strikes in this
region will not be against the owners,
6M "yoinst the consumers Of or coal
And our consumers have but two
negative interests.in us:
|, To get our coal, if possible, as
cheaply us they can get fuel elsewhere,
and
,, If we will not accommodate them,
they will go where they can get it
even to Nova Scotia.
The best strike to make now is
/, To hold all the old work we have,
and
>, TO get all the new we can.

Suppose the merchants of Frostburg
had an occasional visitor from Cum
berand whose business it was to make
their statesmen dissatisfied with their
treatment and wages.
And had no better excuse for follow
ing such a business than that the sales
men of Cumberland were imposed
upon.
How long would such Il visitor be
tolerated here?

The Better Way is to Work.

One of the Mcbride head centers of
the Undisunited Mine Workers. says
THAT the cutting of wages began last
summer, six months at least before the
Wilson bill was drafted"
To make his statement more en-
phatic he says also:
1t is acknowledged by all who understand
ANYTHING about the coal trade that it has
developed more rapidly than the necessities
of the country require. The result of having
too many men and too many mines has
caused keen competition between operators
to secure trade.
finally determine to follow the Nc
Brides-P. and what will then be-
come of the faith many of them have
pinned to the Cumberland Ne,rS' con
tention that the recent reduction to 10
cents is chargeable to the Wilson bill
For if this be true, it follows as
the night the day that miners who 60
over to the McBrides do not believe
the Wilson bill has anything to do with
either the reduction to 10 cents or the
proposed strike.
SO, gentlemen, if you are really
opposed to the Wilson bill. as the
JOURNAL really believes you are, you
will ''show your faith by your works
in continuing to dig and ship coal.
Otherwise. you will find yourselves
next fall voting one way and working
If you have work-the other.

The JOURNAL would gladly permit
the Homecoming Recietr to conduct bot
sides of the controversy which that
paper started, but license so broad
would not be just to the Resier.
1t would also allow that paper to
'recede," but this cannot be done until
the Rerteec learns that it is natural for
an insult to provoke insult.
The Rerieu began this business by
impugning the JOURNALS integrity
Il piece of meanness the JOURNAL mere,
employs.
For instance the JOURNAL might
have said that few blatherskites had
subsidized the Reciem at the rate of
$3.50 per ann"m, payable when they
please, and get poor bargain at that
but the JOURNAL meyer said it-not
even when provoked.
And when compelled to retort it
never whines over earned resentments
as ''insults.'
The Journal has, therefore, dedi-
Gated some space for some time TO
come to showing the Recietc that it has
not Preceded" from this scrape, and
that when it does finally get out the
JOURNAL will furnish the 'colors.'
