INCOME TAX.

In the campaigns which have
just closed, the Presidents recon-
mendation OF constitutional
amendment on the income tax did
not become as much Of factor as
was expected. :. ..
New legislatures were elected in
whole or in part in. few Eastern
states, but the income tax amend
ment was an issue Of but little, If
any, Importance The reason for
this, it is generally believed, may
be found in the accepted belief that
tn" question will not be opposed by
either party, says the National
Monthly, but rather by geographical
sections. The meetings Of the Iegis-
'"tureS during the coming winter
VIII give a clearer expression of pub.
| lie sentiment.

PUT THEM TO. WORK.

No one will be inclined to find
fault with the local daily's crusade
against the unsanitary conditions
which obtain in the county jail. The
demand for relief from the congest-
ed condition of the inmates is imper-
attVe and just, but we ask to know
how it is to be accomplished.
To pardon a sufficiently large
number Of those convicted down to
the point where those remaining in
durance vile would not exceed the
capacity Of the jail would be a tray
esty on justice and an exhibition of
favoritism for which the public
would not stand Freedom for all
OF them presents the same obiec-
tions.
Why not, then, adopt the method
proposed once before by The Ad-
vocate? Why not put the male pris-
oners, who are physically able, to
work on the public roads. The peo-
pie refused to issue bonds for this
purpose, not because good roads are
not a necessity, but for the reason
that the apportionment did not ap.
pear equitable. They would not OBJ
ject to the jail inmates doing this
work, and it would be making ne
precedent if Kanawha county should
adopt this method of punishment
Mcdowell has tried it with crafty,
ing success, and Kanawha county

THANKSGIVING.

RI. BY order Of the President and also
by proclamation Of the Governor OF
our State, we are to keep this day rs
a day Of Thanksgiving. The ques-
ton naturally arises, for what are
we to be thankful.
First, for the good that has come
to us since last November. Each Of
us can look into his own heart and
call up some special blessing drop
J ped into our lives through the be-
neficence Of Providence. If we have
had health and strength, it is
through the goodness Of God. If
sickness has visited our homes, we
may be thankful that We had the
fortitude to bear it hopefully.
2, We have much to be thankful for
as a community. We have schools
for our children and the right to
worship God in our own way, for
which the men who held the first
thanksgiving had to cross the per-
ilous ocean.
We have much for which to be
thankful when we look out over our
State. The repressive laws which
hinder and annoy our brethren do
not exist in West Virginia. Our
people are free to come and go with
out molestation. Glass legislation
E
people are allowed to take part in
choosing the lawmakers. We ought
to be thankful because not only the
letter of the law, but the spirit of
the law looks to the preservation of
all the natural and political rights
OF the citizens without distinction,
and that the spirit Of fair play has
been and is still dominant among
West Virginians.
We have much to be thankful for
from a national viewpoint. Pros
perity has returned to the humblest
as well as the highest, and our read
ers have shared the harvest of good
things. "hich prosperity gives. Seed
time and harvest are early and later
rains have fallen from the fingers Of
God in bounteous plentHude. =
We ought to be thankful that, in
the main, our country has been SO
we'll governed. 1t is true that here
and there plague spots of meanness
and injustice abound, but we must
thank God that our condition is
no worse, and look to the future to
correct these annoyances. No coun-
try Is perfect, but as countries go,
ours is the best of them all. It. is
the best in principal, and We must
labor and pray that it may be ideal
in practice. Filled with thankful
hearts, forgetful of all that could
mar our happiness from without let
us ask the good God to correct our
faults and make us worthy of the
blessings that the fullness Of years
brings to us. With JOY and thanks
giving, let us spend the day.

1T Will be our policy to uphold the

THE ORPHANS HOME.

From reports coming to us from
those in authority, We very much
fear the Negro people of the stat,
are not responding as literally ant
promptly as they should to the ap
peal for aid sent out from the Or
phans' Home shortly after the de-
struction OF the institution by fire
This is no time for hair-splitting
the demand Is too urgent for ques,
tioning the motives Of those who
! have labored so hard and so long to
provide home for homeless or
phans from all parts Of the state.
Rev. McGhee, the head of the insti-
tuition, has given many years Of his
life to this laudable undertaking.
He has denied himself and mis- fam
lily many Of the comforts of life
that those whose clause he has vol
unfairly espoused might have food
to eat, clothes to wear, and a place
to rest their heads. With the ex-
ception of small donations from some
women's clubs and secret societies,
he has had to look mainly to the
white citizens of the State and the
legislature for aid. We have not
given what we could.
Now, he is in desperate straits.
The eighty-seven children of whom
he was trying to make useful citi-
zens are scattered around in the
homes Of the citizens of Huntington.
Many Of these homes can i'll afford
to provide for additional members.
nor should they be expected to do
so, for 1t Is a duty which should
not be confined to any one locality
In the state. These children are the
wards of us all. We owe it to our
selves TO give them material assist
ance in this their hour of dire need.
Remember the divine injunc-
ton, "whOsoever shall give to drink

esteemed all days alike and ate all
kinds of meat fit for food?
