not the support Of public sentiment is
worse than a dead letter Besides Of
fering a constant temptation 10 corrup-
ton, it breeds a spirit of contempt for
law. And IL is my firm conviction that
this. in the long run, is worse for any
community than the evils, coufessedly
great, OF licensed saloons. This lesson
Is written plainly IN history. But why
should we run this risk, when there
lies at hand the educative method, ap-
proved by experience, OF county local
option? This plan enables the com
munities, whore public sentiment Is ripe

behind the law the power OF con-
WINGED popular judgment. And II.
with this plan. there could be associ-
ated the initiative and referendum,
and the recall, so much the better for
the prospect of making law a reality by
the force Of enlightened public opinion
But, IL we cannot have all this at pres
ent, a county local option law, I'm ac-
cord as IL is with the principles Of
self-government would afford the
means of checking the evils Of the

Second Explosion Occurs in Lick
Branch Coal Mines OF POca-
hontas Consolidated Co.
WAS EXAMINED EARLY TODAY
ON Friday Body Of Last Victim OF
First Disaster Was Removed
Number May be Great.

Blue Field. w. Va, Jan. i9.--As the
result Of another explosion at the Lick
Branch mine at switchbacb. about 90
miles from here between so and 100
miners were killed at $3.50 o'clock this
morning. The number may be largely
increased, as from $50 to 800 miners
were at work at the time and il had
not been ascertained shortly before
noon how many had survived.
On Dec. 2S last an explosion oc-
CURED IN this mine. which up TO that
time had been regarded as model
mine. On that occasion tho cause
was not ascertained aud the death
list reached so. The last body in
connection with that explosion was
brought to the surface only last FRI
day, after which the state mine in
spector declared that the mine was
again safe and work could be re-
sumed. The majority Of tho miners
who were engaged to resume work
at the mine were Americans. with
a few foreigners and some colored
workers as laborers. 1t was stated
that the mine was examined early
today, before the new shift went TO
work and was reported 10 be perfect
ly safe. In spite OF this, however
soon after work was begun the ex-
plosion occurred. with a death list
that will probably far exceed that OF
the December explosion.
The mine Is the property of the
Pocohontas Consolidated Collevies
company and is situated in the Tug
River district a territory that until
the December explosion had been un-
usually free from gas
This afternoon a rescue party had
not been able TO enter the mine on ac-
count Of the intense heat It Is thought
that following the explosion the mine
caught FIRE, although but little smoke Is
finding Its way out.
The mine officials refuse 70 give an
estimate Of the number that may have
met death. but at the pitmouth II Is
now believed that over 100 have per-
ished.
While she ofhoials cannot now sug-
gest cause for the explosion, miners
place the blame on some Of the for.
eign miners who may have entered with
