GOOD LAW.

II now seems certain that a good
workmen's compensation law will be
placed or the statute books OF West
Virginia in the near future. The In
telligencer believes hat this Is a
cause for congratulation to the en-
ployers and employees OF the entire
state. II provides for Just compensa-
ton 10 the victim OF an Industrial &C
cident or his family and eliminates
all the deplorable features which have
attended the settlement OF the major
lty OF such claims in the past.
The law is based on the economic
principle that every industry owes its
existence to the protection OF the gen
eral public and should therefore com
pensate for n damage inflicted. This
damage is either death or impaired
earning power. The financial loss TO
the public caused by each class of
accidents and the proportion OF acct.
dents incidental to each industry have
been asc%ertained. Upon these facts
are based a system OF light taxation
and from the fund so created. each vic.
tim or his family is paid.
Long drawn out legal battles. with
their heavy costs and frequent injus.
tice. are thus eliminated. The in.
jured man receives his money. not as
damages from his employer. bur as the
just compensation from the industry
in which he is engaged. All personal
considerations are abolished. There is
no chance for the employe 20 be
swindled out Of his money. nor is there
any chance for the employer 10 be
compelled to paw an unreasonable
amount. In many other states. such
laws have been highly successful
There is no reason for any other re,
suit in West Virginia.

THE WEBB LIQUOR LAW.

Just how far the national govern.
ment should 20 in assisting states to
enforce their liquor laws. is a ques
ton that has been open to debate for
a long time. A United States license
has always given the holder not only
immunity from federal evenu of1c-
ers. but n sort OF protection from local
officers as well. Federal officers
have not. in the past. co-operated with
state and county officials except on
cases in which the government was
directly interested and have consist.
emily refused information which at
times would be very valuable.
With the passage OF the Webb bill
prohibiting the shipment OF intoxicat.
ing liquors into dry" territory. It re.
mains 10 be seen whether this con.
dition will be changed At the present
time II is a we'll known fact that an
astonishingly large number of govern,
ment licenses are sold in dry" terri
tory. Now. in order to be consistent.
the federal government must refuse
10 issue these licenses. Also. every
violation OF local prohibition laws will
imply a violation OF the federal law,
for with no liquor manufactured in
the state. all that may he sold here
must necessarily be shipped from
some outside point.
The practical operation OF the FEEDER
al license and federal officer features
will be interesting to watcn.

GROWING Up
WITHOUT A GOD
School Children of New York City
Surrendering Their Religious
Belief to Science

New York, Dec. S.-Because they
say that they believe there is not
God, large number OF boys in the
four upper classes OF public school
No. -, in East New York, recently
developed the habit of maintaining
silence during the singing of hymns
containing reference to faith in
Deity. Some of the girls in the two
upper classes also began to remain
silent during the singing. The de-
crease in volume became so notice
able that the teacher in charge of
the singing took action to induce the
children to sing, and failing in this
she referred the matter to the school
principal.
The principal, Thomas D. Murphy.
referred the question to the district
superintendent, c. w. Lyon, who
went to the school for the purpose
of talking with the silence strikers.
Mr.. Lyon questioned the graduating
class of boys, and the same class of
girls, and told them that if joining
in the songs was against their be-
liefs that it was not necessary for
them to do so. Since that time a
large part of the school singing has
been dropped.
1--WE have been taught a lot of
things in science about the growth
and origin of things, which DON
agree with the things in the Bible
and we take the SCIENCE was the
way one boy expressed it. THE Bi-
bic says that God put the rainbow in
the sky as sign that there should
be no more foods. We have been
taught that the rainbow is caused by
reflection Of the suns rays in rain

Reports indicate that the victorious

That the rebel leaders have taken

1t is understood that the federal

believed to be fleeing northward,
have reorganized their forces and

Meanwhile at least two other fed

purpose of entrapping Villas COM
