BIG STICK
LAW MAKING

The ill-concealed acrimony of the
correspondence between President
Roosevelt and Congressman Wads-
worth has reached an acute pitch
i'm the presidents second letter. The
country may now hold it's breath In
anticipation of the next move. That
intense feeling has been engendered
by the course of events in this mat
ter is only too apparent from the
sharp and caustic letters in which
tho president aud MIR. wadsworth
have INDUCED themselves.
The president is entirely TOO harsh
and arrogant In his treatment OF the
case. He writes himself down as a
man who is debating to the House of
Representatives Os a millionaire
would dictate To his coachman. His
arbitrary and dogmatic discussion
OF the proposed legislation must be
extremely offensive to members of
Congress, whatever their opinions or
sympathics may be regarding a fed
eral meat inspection law. If they
are hieh-spirited men sensitive ms to
the dignity of themselves Individually
and of the Legislative body whose I'm b.
dependence the constitution guaran-
tees, they must now find Il FAR more
difficult to obey the presidents com
mands than hitherto. In such a sit
uation there In only needed some
reaction in popular feeling against
the president TO produce violent
explosion of congressional wrath and
an cruptive defiance of the executive
power that would shake the capitol.

THE INJUNCTION
SOUGHT AGAINST
THE big FOUR,
Its Peculiar Features aud the Manner
Ina Which the isig Four Seeks
to Have n Misconstrueti.

Briefly. the injunction is sought to
restrain few gentlemen. known as
the big Four" OF Bluefield, from at
tempting to hold a convention call,
which has been rescinded at a regu-
lar meeting OF the central committee
OF Mercer county The notices were
given by ID. II. Barger, as secretary,
of course.
The manner in which Barger has
been woven in IL as an individual
fearing his rights might be trampled
on may be explained better by the
Big 4. who had evidently worked
down To- the man serving the notices,
as this officer was serving notices for
one thing and talking something else.
So it's readily observed that these few
fellows are still doing things" OF
which they proudly boast, II nothing
more than bend IL out of shape. as
Andy Hearn were wont TO do over al
Princeton when the regularly adver-
tised meeting was held
Why SO many notices were served
when such few are affected may
also be work of the little gang in an
attempt TO swell it's membership
G.. w. Atkinson is included, while the
county and state knows he is for
fair treatment and square deal
The treacherous charges OF treachery
set up against him in the Princeton
meeting is what caused his words OF
resentment TO ring throughout the
county. J. r. Maynard, Prosecuting
Attorney and a man for square deal
ing, was also included. Yea, the Big
4 would cruelty such men TO hide its
own iniquity.
On the other hand, IL has reached
low, and TO the democratic party for
names to swell it's list. Today these
few so-called politicians are putting
forth every effort to obtain the col
orec people under misapprehension

AN ABLE AND
PRACTICAL SERMON.

Rev. thompson. Pastor OF the
First Baptist Church, preached an
able. practical sermon sunday morn
ing upon the text Pay me that thou
"west" Mat 1928.
MIR, Thompson made a strong APP
peal TO his congregation to pay what
they owed to their families. to socie-
" and to their Greater.
In considering the duty one owes
20 his family. Mr. Thompson referred
20 the Curfew Law recently enacted
by the City Council. aud while ne
approved the action OF the Council
N passing the law. he said that the
necessity of such law was shame
to the parents ~ Bueneld.
He called attention TO the great
number of children turned loose on
our streets and appealed to parents
10 be themselves curfew law unto
their children. In this connection he
said that the city should have park
whore the children might have play
grounds and the citizens generally
have "a place for recreation and
amusement and suggested that the
ground might be obtained in South
EWedeld He appealed to parents
to control the children, and said
that every wrong act in the child q
life was. a mute appeal TO the par
ont to pay me that thou owest."
As TO the debt 10 society he urged
The people TO rise up and purge socic-
~ from its Objectionable features In
this connection ne also referred TO
the obligations every man owes his
country, and said. If the people had
discharged this debt it would be inn
possible for conditions TO arise which
have recently been shown TO exist by
the Investigations OF the Insurance
companies. the railroads and the
meat industry He urged the people
To fcarlessly pay what they owe to
their country and TO sociDy by purg
ing it from the evil and corruption
which now exists.
In closing his sermon he plead
with all to discharge the debt they
owe God by helping and assisting
their fellow men. The discharge OF
any debt. whether it be to family. so
ciety or country being but that which
is due from man to his Creator.
We heartily approve the suggcs-
ton that BlucfeId should have a
park. The property owners in the Vi
ciuity OF South BlucGcld could well
afo,d TO sell the city a hundred and
fifty or two hundred acres for this
purpose cheap. IT may be that the
city could not do 4 great deal toward
improving the property within the
next few years, but it could be fenced
and laid of In walks aud "a few seats
provided. The people will then have
place to go for an outing and feel
that they are on their own property.
The land should be secured at once.
