Theodore Roosevelt's gift Of the S4O,-
600 received from the Nobel prize
award promptly bore fruit In the or
ganiZation to be known as the Founda-
ton For the Promotion of Industrial
Peace. The new society proposes to
encourage arbitration between disput-
ing employers and employees as far
as it's resources and facilities will per-
NIT. For the present those resources
are small and the facilities correspond
ingly restricted. The presidents gift
Is but the nucleus of the fund that will
be required to broaden the field Of the
foundation and to make its work there
in potent for good. No argument is
needed to demonstrate the ruinous
cost of industrial war. Unlike interna-
tional strife, its burden is concentrated
upon the community involved and is
Immediately felt.
Apparently the foundation takes the
same field a the Civic federation or
gained some years ago. Its president
Is Chief Justice Melville w. Fuller Of
the supreme court Of the United States.
Its treasurer is Seth Low. Its secre-
tary is John Mitchell Of the United
Mine Workers. Oscar s. Strauss, Sec
rotary of commerce and labor, and
James Wilson, secretary Of agriculture,
are among the trustees. Archbishop
Ireland and Judge Gary of the United
States Steel corporation, with others,
constitute a special committee.

INSTITUTE
OF Epworth Leagues is to Be Held
in West Virginia Next
Summer.


SHINNSTON, Nov. 15-The Rev.
Wayne K. Stalnaker, of this place,
president of fthe Morgantown Dis
trict Epworth League, is making a
canvass of the State for the purpose
of interesting the members of that
society in the organization of an Ep-
worth League Institute for West
Virginia
Mr.. stalnaker says: The idea
is, in the summer of 1908 to hold
this institute to specially train the
young people of Methodism SO that
they viii be better equipped to do
work in the League. For example,
to train the Epworth League presi-
dents and the four vice-presidents,
the secretaries and the treasurers.
SO tnRt by trained service they viii
be better enabled to do the work of
their psrticular departments.
''The Leagues are passing through
"a transition stage, and there needs
to be something to grip them vitally.
The State League institute was or
ganized in 1906 to fiji long felt
want. In that year the Rev. E. NJ.
Randall. ID. D., of Chicago, went be-
fore the board of control of the Ep-
worth League. and asked that an in
stitute be held by faculty, selected
by the board to hold "a collegiate in
stitute, or college in miniature. to
train young people. The board ask
ed the source of finance and the gem
eral secretary personally deposited
81, coo for this specific purpose. Ct
5 There the institute had its gene
sis. The first institute was held at
,Des Plains, iowa, and was such a
phenomenal success that the board
ordered three Institutes to be held In
1907. and were held as follows:
Lake Geneva, Lakeside, o, and Win
field, Kas. The results of these
three Institutes were that 20 young
men offered themselves for the min
istry; 81 young people for mission
work, and SO for deaconness work
These were the practical results. The
object is to have state institute in
West Virginia during the summer
OF 1908. to be held in the geograph-
ical center OF the state. probably
clarksburg"
Rev. stalnaker is. a Jealous work
er for the cause of Methodism. 20
we may look forward 10 the Institute
as an established fact, It onsy being
left to the members of the League
to decide where It shall be held.

ALL ATSEA
Are the Baseball Magnates AS to.
What win Be Next
Season.

Now is the time that the baseball
magnates are winning many pen
nants in most all of the leagues. The
local magnates are not winning or
playing any games for that matter,
as they do not know what league
they are in or who they are playing.
The meeting OF the P. o. NJ.
league which is scheduled this week
in Pittsburg may have some bear
ing on the local situation. When
it is known what teams will COM
pose that league the West Penn w:Il
know whether their route remains
the same or not. According to re-
ports, no West Penn team is apply
ing for admission into the P. o. M.
unless it is Tom Raymond and his
two time pennant winners, of Fair
mont.
The talk that has been going the
rounds about the local club wanting
in the P. o. NJ. is without founda-
tion President Welch, of the locals,
when approached on the matter, de-
MED this rumor but stated that
clarksburg would be in some league
next year but that he did not know
what league or what teams would
compose the league. Probably when
the West Penn has a meeting, which
win be soon, some definite conc1us-
ion may be reached as TO where the
local magnates stand.
