CONSTRUCTIVE ALABAMA.

In letter to the New York Sun, an
Albany correspondent expresses the
earnest hope that Alabama will not
send a bowling radical to the United
States senate as a successor to the
late Senator Johnston. The letter con-
cludes with this paragraph:
LET Alabama, then, beware of the
vociferous radical who attracts atten-
ton to himself at the expense of the
states material welfare. Let us hope
this most prosperous Southern state
will continue it's custom of sending
only constructive statesmen to the
senate"
We can assure the gentleman that
his hope will be realized. Alabama is
nothing if not constructive. She
knows that her prosperity will not
last long if she interferes with her
child-workers or throws open her
schools to every foolish Tom, Dick
and Harry who want to waste their
time on the three RS and other edu-
cational nonsense. Alabama has
reached her commercial supremacy by
shrewd planning and close attention
to business. She doesn't propose to
relinquish that supremacy now. She
will continue to send her constructive
statesmen to the legislative halls and
her constructive children to the fac
tories and mines and mills.-Life.

BoUNDLEss PROSPERITY.

The experts of the United States
government have been making some
careful investigations to ascertain the
number of persons in the country that
are in receipt of a decent living in
come and have come upon facts that
refer with emphasis to the Merry
Optimist of our broad land.
They we're at work in a purely scien-
tific way to find the actual basis for
the proposed income tax, so their dis
coveri9s are not the wild assertions
of demagogues, agitators, disturbers
of the peace, anarchists nor persons
that are trying to break up the home
and inculate the pernicious doctrine of
free love,
They have found that in the United
States of America, home of prosperity
and all that, there are 425,000 persons
that receive yearly $4,000 or more.
The total population is approximate
ly OO,00O,000 and among them all only
425,0O0 receive $4,000 a year.
After all these years of 'uneXampled
prosperity" marvellous industrial eX-
pansion." increased production, bump
er crops, and mounting wealth; after
the doors of opportunity have been
wide, staring open for 126 years, we
have progressed so far that one per
son in 235 has enough income to live
in a fair degree of comfort.
o Happy Land! o Glorious System!
o Gorgeous Opportunity! o Marvel
Gus Prospect! No wonder the Opti-
mist optimizes! Here-hold my hat
while | stand in reverentiaI awe before
condition of universal joy so vast,
so colossal, so overwhelming!- Chas.

CAPITALIST "PRoGREssIVEs" or
WEST VIRGINIA WOULD A5oL-
IsH FREE SPEECH.

The following resolutions wor,
adopted AZ mass meeting of fiy,
hundred uf the citizens of Monongal
and vicinity ON Sunday September n
1913:
Whereas, attacks Of aggravated
character have recently been made il
the Fairmont-C larksburg district upor
the constitutional rights of free speech
and the free exercise of political opin
ion; and
Whereas, the rights of aforesaid arc
of inestimable worth, being the rights
by means of which all other rights
must be defended; and
Whereas, the attacks aforesaid have
for a long time assumed the form Of
denial of the right to work to those
wage-earners who dared to express pc
litical opinions freely or to vote as
they pleased, and of intimidation Of
citizens by the presence of armed
spies and secret police in the district

three respected residents of the com
munity, fathers of families and law
abiding men having been so outraged
during the past month, to-wit, J. Vern
Johnson of Clarksburg, was attacked
and beaten as he alighted from a
Baltimore and Ohio train at Catawba
West Virginia, while on his way to or.
ganize a Socialist local. Three men
participated in this violence, one OF
which is positively known to be in the
employ of the Consolidated Coal com.
pany. J. II. Snider, a furniture dealer
of Clarksburg and Fairmont,and a
resident of the latter city, was struck
and knocked down at Shinnston by
one Fleming who was attended by one
Jack Schrader Both of these men
are in the employ of the Consolidated
Coal company. Snider was proceed
ing to a Socialist meeting in company
with Anna A. Maley, national organ
izer of the Socialist party. Edward H.
Kintzer, a real estate dealer of Clarks-
burg, who is also state secretary of
the Socialist party of West Virginia,
was knocked down and beaten about
the head and body while on his way
to his office on the morning of Sep
TENDER 18. All of these assaults were
made without warning and in the case
of Kintzer and Johnson, their assail-
ants were entirely unknown to them.
Further, the right of free speech was
violated by the arrest, Imprisonment
and fine of Anna A. Maley, when she
attempted to hold a political meeting
on the streets of Monongah, on the
evening of August Is. Miss Maley
had spoken but twice in the district

same day. her speech on both occas-
ions having been devoted to an ex-
PLANTATION OF the principles of Social
ism; and
Whereas. as above indicated, the
men who have made these attacks
are known to be in the employ of the
Consolidated Coal company and the
secret police of this and OF other bust
ness corporations in great numbers
now infest the -Clarksburg
district; and
Whereas, these secret police are a
sinister and extra-legal power used to
.intimidate citizens and to disturb the
peace Of the community; and
Whereas, eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty and our citizens recog-
nize that no person is safe while the
life and liberty of any man are sub
ject to unwarranted attack; and
Whereas, the voting constituency of
this jurisdiction is amply able to elect
and maintain such regular officials
as are necessary to administer it's af-
fairs and preserve it's peace, without
the Intervention of Baldwin detec-
tives or other extralegal forces; there
fore, be it
Resolved by this mass meeting of
five hundred citizens of the Fairmont-
Clarksburg district, that we demand
the removal from this district of the
secret police, spies and gunner of the
Consolidated Coal company and other
corporations; and be it further
Resolved, that we demand protec-
ton for all citizens in the rights of
free speech, free assembly and the
free exercise of political conviction;
and be it further
Resolved, that we demand the unre-
stricted right of organization for bust

litically as Democrats, Republicans or
Socialists, and economically as labor
unions or business mems associations,
as the interests and necessities of the
men concerned may require; and be it
further
Resolved, that copy of these reso-
lutions be sent to the president of the
United States; to the governor of the
state of West Virginia; to the authori-
ties of the counties affected; to the
officials of the Consolidated Coal COM
pany; to the congressional investigat-
ing committee on conditions in the
coal mining districts of West Virginia.
to the labor press of the country and
to the general press of the state; and
be it further
Resolved, that a conference of
eight citizens of this community be
proposed by this meeting to prosecute
the demands of this resolution, and
that said conference be notified of the
action here taken and furnished with
copies of this resolution.

singular itching to play at ninepins.

TO be permitted to play once more at
bis favorite game at the place Of exc
cution. and then. he said. he would
submit without a murmur. AS the last
prayer Of dying man. his request was
granted. When arrived at the solemn
spot he found everything prepared, the
pins being set up and the bowl ready.
He played with no little earnestness,
but the sheriff at length. seeing that
he showed no inclination to desist, pri-
vately ordered the executioner to strike
the fatal blow as he stopped for the
bowl The executioner did So and the
mead dropped into the culprit's hand

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKETS.

Pennsylvania.
T.ANCASTER. PA. Jan. 6. 1918.


A large amount of the new crop of
Lancaster county has already been de-
livered at the warehouses in various
parts of the county, but mostly, it
ought to be added, at the warehouses
of the concerns having headquarters
elsewhere than in Lancaster county,
notably the United Cigar Manufacture
ers Co.
Packing has been started, giving en-
ployment to large numbers of men who
would otherwise be idle because of the
winter season. The weather last week
was just what growers desired, as it
put the tobacco in good shape for strip
ping; and the growers went at this
theoretically enough, being anxious to
get the crop off their hands. So far
very little complaint has been heard
about the stripping, and it looks just
now, anyhow, as though the growers
might have profted by the often re-
peated advice of ''strip clean"
There was little buying last week,
because it was holiday season, and
packers and manufacturers were busy
taking account of stock. The local
packers are still shy on buying, and
that, too, with not over 25 per cent of
the crop left to choose from.
