1t was a freezing wind that dashed

When the couple arrived in Chicago
Aronson failed to secure employment.
He said he had pawned his watch and

"And now, gentlemen" said the

ON THE RETURN TRIP.

Now that MIR. Roosevelt has gone
away, there comes discussion as to
his coming back. AS the Portland
Oregonian says: Nobody can forget
how the attentions Mr.. Bryan receiv-
ed in foreign lands causedsus to forget
his faults and magnify his merits at
least for the time He sailed in neg
lect, almost in obscurity. He returned
in a blaze of glory. reflected from
royal drawing rooms
Mr.. Roosevelt will not only slist to
tho call of the wild in hottest, damp
est Africa but he has on his return
been asked to lecture at Oxford and
at the Sorborne. No one can doubt
either that an ex-president is far more
OF q social lion than defeated candi-
date.
In Russia he is regarded,as the man
who helped to recoup the shattered
fragments left by the Japanese war.
In England he is loved. on account of
his love for sport. as one of their own
statesmen-a man whom they can I'M
derstand. In Switzerland he is con-
sidered as the friend and representa-
tive Of the Wagnerian idea-essen-
TALLY Swiss-of the Simple Life. In
France we have been told that they
admire him because OF the Napol-
comic resemblances in his make up
and all Paris will be agog at the sew
en- days wonder of the accomplished
American. And Germany. the Kaiser
himself will find q deep pleasure in
according him honors. for he fancies
there is q temperamental bond be-
tween the two. In Italy, where, since
the earthquake. the part that Ameri-
cans played in the relieving of the
earthquake victims, has made the
name Americana sacred, 1t is fair to
suppose that his comings and goings
will not be without interest or honor.
or course it is not probable that an
associate editor of the Outlook will
reap all the glory of all these places
and countries but none the less 1t will
have liz reflexive effect on the Am
erican mind. We will swell with pride
that such distinguished greeting is
accorded our Teddy-for II we have in
the mean while forgotten him we will
claim him like the country cousin
who has just inherited a fortune.
With such background as will in
dubitably be his-will not 1t make us
fancy that we have historic perspec.
tive on the man? 1t is a fact that
most Of us admire what others have
accorded their seal of appreciation?
Little fear that Roosevelt will not
come back as he did after the affair
at San Juan HILL.
Will Roosevelt then be able to with.
stand the homage of the rejected
Caesarian wreathe and refuse to be
president again. Those who think
him an astute politician only will say
so. But those Americans who think OF
him as something else have picked a
more distinguished niche-the First
American.
The First American is to the nation,
what the Leading Citizen is to COM
munity. He has greater power in
directing human thought and action
than has the president of the United
States. This Mr.. Roosevelt should be
more than contented with.

kidnapping.

From Philadelphia Ledger.
The kidnapping of child always
prompts a demand for drastic laws for
the punishment of kidnapers. The
law of Pennsylvania fixes the maxi
mum penalty for kidnapping at life i'm
prisonment. and is good law Ger
tainly it would be unwise to provide
capital punishment, as has been sug-
gester within a few days. Undoubt-
edly miscreants who thus play with
life and death and bring the furies to
the door of the parents OF the stolen
child deserve no clemency They
should be outlawed and blotted from
the earth's activities. bur a capital pen
atty would probably not be more eff
cacious in preventing kidnapping, and
ii would almost assure the death Of
the kidnapped in case of pursuit and
threatened capture of the criminals.

CITY MARKET HOUSE.

One of the greatest needs of the
city of Charleston today is a
market house. The starving
women and children within our
midst demand it. The excessive
exorbitant prices charged for the
necessities of life has cast the pail
of gloom over the household of the
working men who earn from 81 20
to Sl.75 per day. AS result of
the high rents, excessive water
and gas rates, and the unheard of
prices of flour, meat and other
neceSsaries of life the fanatics of
the common laborers and mechanics
who are only working half time,
are merely existing. 1t is the
duty of the City Admins
tration to take some steps for
the protection of the bone and
sinew of the city. They have
heretofore devoted their time and
attention to the public service cor
porations and other interests to
such an extent as to cause much
suffering and want among the
masses and it is now up to them
do something for those citizens
whom it has neglected for years.
Charleston will never grow and
prosper amid poverty and suffer
ing among its citizens. 1t is up to
the city administration to get down
to business, cut out the silly
twaddle about business interest
demands SO and so. and do some
thing to benefit the entire citizen
ship, something that the very life
OF humanity demands. Give us Il
city market so that the poor can
have substantial food and thus
wipe out poverty and disease.

LONG TON, EXIT.

With the exception of few
mines the 1905 Joint Agreement is
In full force and effect in the Kan
awha field, ana after a year of
continual wrang!e peace has been
restored once more. If the miners
of the Valley desire this condition
of affairs to continue it is up to
them to stand together and build
up the organization.
Every man who is working
under the present agreement owes
it to himself and his fellow work
ers to help maintain the organi-
cation which has secured the con-
ditious under which he now works.
Now is the time to prepare and
get ready to meet the operators
next spring when a new wage con-
tract for two years will be made.
There is no time for delay get into
the local at your place, keep your
dues paid up and help to build up
the membership. The indifIcr-
ence of the members in the past
has demonstrated what may be
expected if it is continued. All
the late unpleasantness was the
result of the men becoming in
different and should be a valuable
lesson and the men should see that
it does not occur again. 1t nearly
caused the loss of the entire or
ganization, the next time it may.
So get busy and fortify your pc.
sition in time of peace.

THE TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION.

1t has been fifty six years since
the National Typographical Union
was organized, and a number Of
years later changed its name to the
international Typographical Union
in order to enlarge it's sphere of in
tlucnce and cover the North
American continent, with the full
consent and approval of all sec
tions interested. 1t is the child of
evolution, and becomes more and
more perfect as time goes on. 1t
is much better now than in it's
early DAYS and it can be said that
all important questions are now
decided by d referendum vote, in
which every member has voice,
the majority Of votes ruling on all
questions submitted. Its bcnevo-
lent features are so well known
that it is useless to comment on
them here.

HEALTH ORDINANCES.

There is too great an apathy in
regard to certain laws and ordl-
nances on the statue books of most
cities; they are simply dead letters.
The Investigations conducted in
connection with the campaign for
the prevention of tuberculosis have,
revealed that nearly every city has
a splitting ordinance, but in the
majority of them it is not enforced
and arrests have not been made.
The attitude of the average
American citizen when he reads
sign. ''Don't spit on the Floor.
Read the ordinance is that in
junction is an Infringement on his
inalicnable right as an American
citizen to spit when and where he
pleaSes.
Doubtless if the. sign should
read SO as to appeal to his reason
it might have a different effect.
In some cities the sign. "Why
SplS VII GllC loOi9 ~ opl StlIS
Disease is used. And while
each person splitting doubtless feels
that the sign is not meant for him,
he is suspicious of his neighbor
who INDUCES in the filthy prac-
tees, and this impression reacts as
a check on his own carclcSSneSS.
Nevertheless, there is an ineNcus-
able amount of splitting done in
this city.
Now, that the danger of this
evil is known, not only to these
few who are interested profession
ally or otherwise, but to the
public as well, there is no excuse
for the condition Of the public
buildings and streets in our city.
1t is time that police department
cooperated with the health depart
ments in enforcing these ordinances.

The best organized workers are
those who are better prepared to
enter strikes or resist lockouts, are
those who have least occasion to
engage i'll them, and yet are the
greater beneficiarics from modern
civilization in the form of higher
wages, shorter hours of daily labor
and Sunday rest. They attain a
higher plane of morality, economic,
political and social independence.
If the union men in this section of
West Virginia wish to enter this
class they must unite and elimin-
ate petty jealousies and personal
prejudices and lend their aid for
the accomplishment of that which
will better the conditions of the
members of the entire movement.
