why NOT MAKE THEM WORK?

One of the great objections to the IN
ebriate hospitals is that the drunkards
confined there do not like it. The con-
finement grows irksome and as spring
time advances and the book beer sea-
son draws toward its clcce the heart OF
the average inebriate convict cries
aloud for freedom. At times he makes
break for liberty. He refuses to work.
He complains of the food and the treat
ment. In fact he doesn't like it at the
asylum and strangely enough seems to
have imbibed the idea that he is there

there have been more reports of trouble
In the inebriate wards than have come
from the penitentiaries and insane asy-
derstand that while he was committed
to the inebriate hospital with a view to
his ultimate reformation. that society
also had in mind his retirement from
circulation as a lawbreaker and social
enemy. If he is dissatisfied inside the
inebriate ward he should remember that

ton midway between these classes and
ia considered fit subject for state con-
troll. Consequently it would behoove
him to act less as tho he remained at
the asylum as favor to the state lest
worse thing befall him.
The majority of the inebriates at the
different hospitals are living better than
they have ever been able to do upon
their own efforts and infinitely better
than the families of most of those who
have families, and a drunkard generally
has, are living at home deprived of such
assistance as the wage Garner has given
them. Most of them are able TO work
and should be obliged to labor and make
themselves useful. If some practical
system might be devised under which
they could be employ I'd eight hours

There is no reason why they should not

There is no necessity for maudlin
sympathy to be lavisheI upon those
who have so far forgotten their duty to
society, have neglected and abused
their families and so deliberately rem
dered themselves to degrading vice as
to make their confinement necessary to
the well-being of the community. There
is no occasion to make a junket of
term for inebriacy. In the opinion of
many the care and sympathy lavished
upon our criminal and semi-criminal
classes might better be expended upon
the honest and suffering poor. There
are those who fail to see the justice of
turkey and cranberries nn the peniten-
tiary table while honest people are
hustling for potatoes. Just SO, many
will be unable to understand why a
drunkard, condemned to two years re-
tirement, should live in likeness on the
fat of the land while his wife takes in
washing to keep the family together.

The Rockwell Photograph asserts
that "the increasing tendency toward
line elevators and line lumber yards is
certain to result, sooner or later, in
meeting with determined and organized
opposition on the part of farmers living
in such localities. When one corpora

lance of fifty or 100 miles buys all the
grain or dictates the price to be paid,
the conditions are ripe for a revolt and
a revolt is almost sure to come in course

According to the views of the Iowa

OFF FOR BETHANY.
Varsity Eleven left at noon for
Wheeling.


Team in Good Condition wheeling
+ Papers boom Buffalo Creek Boys for
states Championship-Will Probably
be Heavily Loaded-VarsitY Conf
dent of fictory-Some Amusing Pre-
dictIons.
The Varsity football eleven left at
noon today for Wheeling, where they
will meet an eleven representing Beth
any college. Several rooters accom-
paaied them and all are expecting a
good time in West Virginia's biggest
city.
The players taken on the trip were
Core, Ludes, Simmons, Courtright,
Want, r. Morgan, Haymont, Post,
Waugh, Hammer, Casio, Capt. Sea-
mon, Huh, Mcdonald, and
Bingammon The men are all in
good condition, and the team will
have its full strength with the excep-
ton OF half back Martin, who is still
out OF the game0with bad ankle.
The practlor for the past few days
has been fast and furious, and the
'Varsity's defensive work has develop
ed wonderfully. Yesterday, the Var
sity with fourteen men lined up
against them scored and prevented
their opponents from scoring. They
were seldom held for downs and the
fourteen scrubs were able to make their
distance only few times.
The University will probably have
TO go up against the best football
talent In Wheeling and vicinity. The
Wheeling Intelligencer says:
1.-THE probable Wheeling lineup is
undecided, but no chance will be TAX
en- and the strongest eleven available
will be lined up From this, it is
evident that Bethany intends to
load UP, good and heavy. But for all
that, W.. V. U. is confident of victory.
Considerable amusement is felt here in
the ridiculous claim made by Bethany
college to the Championship.
Eugene Curtis is now at Bethany
and has been coaching the team for
several days. Its probable that the
Buffalo creek boys will want to play
him. They have been carefully drilled
IN the University's style of offensive
play, and in order to perfect their de-
defense.
The Wheeling News says:
Considerable interest is being
eyinced In the foot ball game of Satur-
day. Bethany will send delegation
200 strong, and the Morgantown stu
dent body will be represented by
hundred OF more rooters. Both teams
are indulging In hard practice daily.
West Virginia University Is slight
favorite over the Bethany team, but
followers of the two teams work this
season believe the score win be limited
to single figures on either side.

Two Additions to Church.

A very large audience attended
the special meetings at the Christian
church last night. The male quar-
tette sang "Pray for the Wanderer. ?"
The pastor, j. j. Tisdall, spoke on
Baptism" He requested that the
audience consider themselves as a
class ready to study from the Word
of God, what is Baptism and to pray
"that God would give them under
standing that they might know the
truth" He said that Greek was
not necessary to understand baptism
from a biblical standpoint. Again
the speaker asked the question why
modern evangelists did not preach
the whole gospel, as did the
apostolic avangelists, and required
baptism as part of the plan neces-
sary for salvation :, An earnest plea
was made for all to do what Jesus
would have them do, turn from sin,
believe and be baptized and be
saved calling on the name of the
Lord There were two additions to
the church last night. The Rev.
Tisdell will speak on "rhe Reason l
am Christian" tonight.

Comes Before Convention of
American Federation of
Labor at Boston.
PRESIDENTS ACTION CRITICISED
Decision a "sIap in the Face" for La
boring People-Government Urged
to Construct All Its Ships in It's Own
Yards-Falrer to Labor.

Boston, Nov 13-President Roose-
yelt's name and his action in the SD
called Miller open shop case were
brought. before the convention of the
American Federation of Labor, when
several delegates criticized his de-
cision not TO discriminate against non
union labor in federal employment.
The question came before the conven-
tion from the committee on resoli-
lions in the way of a report that 4
resolution on the open shop issue be
referred to the committee of the ex-
ecutive council The substance of the
resolution was that the open shop,
whether under private or government
control, cannot be recognized by or
ganized labor.
Delegate j. NJ Barnes, of Philadel-
phia, president Of the Cigarmakers' In
ternational union, declared that Presi-
dent Roosevelt's decision was a slap
in the face" for laboring people. Pres
ident d. A. Hayes, of the International
Association of Glassblowers, defended
the presidents action. Eventually the
resolution was recommitted to the
committee from which 1t originated.
A resolution was adopted urging that
the government construct all it's ships
in government yards on the ground
that such policy was fairer to labor.
There was an interesting debate on
resolution affecting the St Joseph,
Mo, trade union, which lasted almost
until the time of adjournment. Ernest
Bohm, the protested New York dele
gate, was ordered seated during the
day, but the case of the protested del
egates, Steel and Guild. of the Inter-
national Journeymen of Bakers and
Confectioners. was laid on the table
