\ Prohibition Nominee for the
House of DELEGATES.

\. Lincoln Porter, of Eckhart Mines,
is nominee for the House of Delegates
on the Prohibition ticket who has many
friends outside his organization who will
support him.
OF ProhibitiOnists it may be said,
whether their propositions be practicable
or not, they have the courage of their
convictions. Porter is one of the class
of citizens, therefore, who not only dis
favor the sale and use, but would abolish
and then prohibit the manufacture of in
tOXicantS. In his own language
would have a good and continuous popu-
lar example for the generation that Is al
ways rising-this through good laws rclent-
leSsly enforced. believe the only certain
way to reach the highest plane of public
morals is to prohibit far as possible the
manufacture of the one thing which, more
than any other, debauches and impoveriShes
the people especially the people dependent
upon their labor.
In another portion of his statement he
writes:
am strongly in favor of having the MN
ing law amended as to provide for the
election of the inspector by the people, as
believe that officer should represent and care
for the interests of the wOrkingmen rather
than of the companies. And ! believe the
law, "te"ded for tie protection Of He miners.

FRosTBURG, Mp, October 4, 1908.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
l am sending you Il copy of the Out
look i'll which have marked an article
that may be of interest to some of your
readers.
AS the winter session of the Y. NJ. G.
a. is opening here anything that calls
attention to the good work that is being
done i'll other places may stimulate some
of our people, who have not already
taken an interest in the Association to
come to the help of those who are
making every effort to establish the
y. M. G. a. permanently in our midst.
From the good that has already been
done, in spite of many obstacles and
diScouragements, one can form some
idea of what might be accomplished if
all who are interested in the welfare of
the young men and boys of our town,
were to do all they can to help the
good cause.
Thanking you for past fayors, | shall
be greatly obliged if you will find room
for the article in the O"iiook (Which |
have marked at your earliest convent
ence. Sincerely yours,
MARY f. TOWNSEND.
Hardly a week passes by without bring
ing notice of some new, picturesque, and
commcndable endeavor on the part of the
Young Mems Christian Association to
widen its social influence. This is in con
traSt to years ago when its work seemed
ultra pletiStiC. The most recent of its en-
deavors has been the establishment by the
Cananea Copper Company, III Mexico of
Young Mems Christian Association plant at
their works. The company employs nearly
four thousand men, twu-titthS of this num-
her being Americans, and is one of the
largest copper-produCers in Mexico. Through
the Companys initiative a brick building
costing over ten thousand dollars has been
erected. 1t contains baths, reading and
audience rooms, and a library of two
thousand volumes, all to be set apart by
the company for Association Use. Further
more, for the organization of this special
department the company pays part of the
running expenses, without however, de-
tracing from the Self-rcspcct of the mem
bers. The event is particularly interesting
since it is the first Endorsement of the ASSo-
citation plant by any mining camp i'll south
western America. At another far-distant
point, on Douglas Island Alaska, the Tread
well mining company has co-operated with
its employees i'll erecting an Association
building. Every employee of this company
is eligible to membership and contributes
dollar a month.

Wanted-A New Term.


In a Maryland campaign orators
speech, delivered the other day-no
matter where or in what party interest
appears the phrase-''the dignity of
labor"
The JOURNAL does not like the ex-
preston.
1t is not only inappropriate but it is
inadequate.
In all probability it was originally the
invention of loafer or a politician of
some other class.
Even he, however. did not mean to
describe mere dignity" as characteristic
of labor, but rather a resolute individual
independence and healthful self-reliance
Essentially there is more than dig
nifty" in labor-a something better for
which the English lexicon as yet fur
nishes no specific word.
The term, "dignity,' hardly BELTS the
manliness which endows the working
man with a gertrude superior to cir
cumstance.
Dignity is passive and pregnable.
This something is elate and uncon-
sciously incontestable.
What is it?

The JOURNAL has so far said nothing
of the so-called free delivery project for

What We Are.

Apparently the greatest issue at stake
is the political welfare of several men.
In other words, as substantially in
stituted by President Roosevelt, shall L..
E. McComas or Isidor Rayner be elected
u. S. Senator?
Or shall Lloyd Lowndes be Vice-Presi-
dent or A. P. German President?
That is in effect about all.
Not thought of the welfare of the
masses; not a reflection about reducing
the burdens of government, nor a con
clusion concerning a diversion of public
money homeward, say to public road i'm
provement.
Were this nation of half grown boys
the current Authorizations of party
rivalry would not be matter for
wonder.
