partGre from the sound principles
which have hitherto guided us. They
prop to introduce the government
into field which is possessed by IN
diTidhal and corporate enterprise
a ,feld which the latter are fully
COMPETENT to occupy. This de-
pSrturS would be long step toward
dang Gus sen ralization of power
aud toward S the Inauguration Of
Fstem Of Realism, which is the
ubstitption 81 the government for
the Individual. 1t is not wise pol
icy for the State to usurp functions
whic hean be readily discharged by
the people in their individual or
corporate capacity. Let the gov
ernment CT use the word in its gem
eraI sensel regulate the instruments
of commerce, as the federal govern
ment is no wdoinG,, with a deter
nination to secure Just and reason
able service. This it has the un-
doubted lawful power to do. 1t
can correct every abuse and prevent
every evil. Its authority to regu-
late and control is plenary. To in
sist that government ownership is
necessary to guard against abuses IS
to confess degree of impotency,
which is a libel upon our form of
government and an impeachment Of
our integrity and capacity as a self
people. There is noth-
ing more important for us to do in
orr progress than to keep distinct
" in view the natural, legitimate
functions of government, and the
natural legitimate functions of the
people, whether in their individual
or corporate capacity"

IN the Absence
Of His Brother

A highly sensational case Is re-
ported from O'Neil but action
has not vet been taken against the
party accused, though application
was made for a warrant, which may
issue IN a day or so, after which the
party will be apprehended.
The charge is made against a
brother of Charles Coburn
that he criminally assaulted
his brothers seven-year-old
daughter last Saturday, and after
that the same day he also succeeded
IN criminally assaulting his
brothers wife. The fendish acts
as alleged occurred at his brothers
home at O'Neil, during the abb
1sance of the head of the household.
The assault was made on the lit
tie girl, as alleged, Saturday morn
ing. He enticed her into a field
near by and is said to have accomP-
lished the heinous crime upder
shade tree.
That night at midnight he broke
into Mrs. Coburn's room, she
charges, grabbed her, threw her
down, choked her, and after ter
rible struggle on her part, again ae-
compIished his fendish purpose.
Mrs. Coburn knew nd-hing about
the child's outrageous treatment
until Wednesday, when the little
one related the incident in detail
and made shocking discoveries. She
Immediately brought the child to
the office of DIR. j. b. Payne, where
examination and treatment were
given by Drs. Payne and Paterson,
who were of the opinion, their story
was correct.
They advised her to take action
against the fiend, and upon her re-
turn home she went before Justice
j. T. Flynn, but he did not then IS
sue a warrant. Another justice had
the case laid before him and one or
the other Will see that he is aPpre-
hended.
Mrs. Columns husband went to
Kingwood several days ago, where
he IS employed in coal mine and
he will be advised at once of the
occurrence. The brother charged
with the crime is said to have gone
down the river. His wife died
about six months ago and he has
roamed the country over since then,
at times being a guest at his
brothers home

OUR SOLDIERS
IN GOTHAM

Sundays New York Times con-
tanned a handsome picture of the
West Virginia team of rifemen at
Sea Grit and spoke in part in the
following fashion of the team and
Major R. Lynn Osborn:
Ninety-fve feet of surprised West
Virginians dropped into New York
last week from Sea Grit to see the
city and tell their Southern friends
and relatives here how it came
about that they did not win at least
one of the big trophies from the
contestants in the National target
matches that have just ended.
There are only fifteen of the
West Virginians, but if they were
stood one upon the other they
would tower above the caves of the
average seven-story building. They
are all long-legged, deep-chested
men, and the smallest of the fifteen,
who Is a six footer, is looked upon
as runt. They make up the team
sent by their State to compete at
Sea Grit, and in the line shown in
the picture is their ranking officer,
Lieut. Col. Cuthbert Osborne. Maj.
Robert Linn Osborne, his cousin,
from Clarksburg, w. Va, also in
the line, is one of the crack rifle
shots of the South. 1t was his first
visit to Sea Grit. With number
of the big crack marksmen he is in
the city to look over the "maiD
street." visit the theatres, and dine
with his many Southern friends
here.
The Major surprised his host who
lives in West 109th street, by de-
claring the other morning that he
would just have to stretch his legs
bit after breakfast.
The Majors morning walk con-
sisted of stroll from 109th street
to the Battery, and then back to
Forty street, where he paus-
ed and gazed enviously at the Times
building. s9Tbat is certainly tall |
some," he exclaimed to the traffic |
policeman in Times Square.
The big West Virginians, several
of whom are from what they call |
'Ethe buckwheat belt" have appe-
titles fitting to their build and fine
health. When introduced to a
table d'hote, the Major ate the same,
and at its close looked inquiringly
about. He evidently missed the
old-fashioned way of making a
table groan under big, juicy haunch-
es and fat fowl.
'FYou don't eat right" he COM
mented to relative who has become
welded to New York and the ways
of New Workers. 'EYou can't hope
to grow just mincin' around at
meals like that"
When in camp or on manoeuvres,
the Major generally carries two
cooks for the mess of his battalion
staff. cone of them might be
stricken with paralysis" he ex-
planned, almost apprehensively.
The big visitors started for home
in twos. The fifteen of them in file
into a dining car would
have been too risky thing for the
steward and too ungenerous to the
other travellers. They have seen the
sights, have cheered E'Dixie" when
it was played in the cafes, and have
to come back next year
with different tale to tell about

We'll, We'll,

Isn't 1t fortunate that we have a good board of health? What would we do without them! May they live long and die happy. We understand they will make at least one citizen contented by giving him about $500 per month to look after our health and happiness. Of course there are more to come, but let us hope the first slice. Wouldn't it be- good idea to have the board of health look after our new 'cinder park and see if it's healthy location, and if it Is, see that the caretakers will receive pay enough to eke out living so that they may always enjoy good health. Say, our board of health are fine representation for our city. They are about as healthy looking lot of men as you could wish 70 throw your optics on. Would that the whole community were as healthy. We'll, it's an easy matter to enjoy good health; but you cant have good health if you do not pay attention to what you eat and drink. For instance, some people will drink tea and coffee simply because it's made in a tea or coffee pot, never thinking about quality; but our pa irons are different; they know what the good kind is, and you will if you give us one trial.
