EDITOR CONDEMNS LEGISLATORS
Archibald Johnson TeRs EN-. q
Thing or Two-The Conse-
QuenceS

In the house. Thursday represent.
iative Stewart, of Mecklenburg, arose
to.a question of personal privilege
and called the attention of the mem
bers to copies of Charity and Gill
dren,. that were on desks of mem
bers and particularly to an editorial
therein headed, Divorce Bi1Dead.' =
He read the editorial which recited
the fact that the senate committee
had reported unfavorably the Stewart
divorce bill thus saving the state
from disgrace. The editorial refer
red to the members of the house as
"a lot of mollycoddies, whose in
tentions were good enough, but WI 0
are as innocent of color and ccnvlc-
tons as so many gate posts. frey
are led around by the nose by, men
stronger than themselves, and have
about as much foresight as drove
o: mules" The editorial also con-
tanned this paragraphs: THE house
of representative is not as strong
body as we; hoped, when it first as
sembled. 1t has few strong men
in it, some of whom are much more
ambitious than they are patriotic,
and there is danger that the house
will prevent some legislation that is
greatly needed, notably the provi-
sion for a six months term of our
public Schools" Mr.. Stewart de-
clared that the condemnation by
Editor johnson is unworthy of the
paper he is editing and devoid of
any semblance of charity or toler-
ance. He congratulated the mem
bers of the house that when they
come to present themselves at the
'Pearly Gates" for judgment,
johnson will not be there
to pass judgment on them.
Mr.. D7vln offered resolution
reading: Res olved, that the house
of representatives condemn the I'M
just criticism OF this body contained
in an editorial in Charity and Chill
dren OF FEBRUARY IS, as rejecting
Oh the integrity, patriotism and i'll
teligence Of the members Of this
house." Mr.. Murphy suggested
that the editorial be completely ignor-
ed as more BETTING tn? uncali4d for
OF the editor. Mr.. Justice
suggested that Archibald johnson
be appointed a committee Of Ole to
suggest legislation for the general as
Mr.. Long thought that
insult was added to injury when the
editor had the effrontery to distri-
butte copies Of the paper 10 the desk
members. Mr. McNider suggested
that the legislature should change
the name of Charity and Children
to 'Chastisement and Children.'
Mr.. Austin suggested that some
Sunday school, words should he
added to the language used in the
Devin resolution. The resolution
passed unanimous.

A METER CARD-TAKE THE
PEOPLE INTO CONFlD-
-. ENCF

Many complaints have been made
and are being made monthly by cit
liens on account of their water and
light bills. They contend that the
rate has not been raised and
these citizens claim that they are
paying great deal more, and some
times almost double for practically
the same water and lights they have
been using, of course the same
months in the year being used as a
comparison. Some have gone to
the trouble of reading their meters
each month, it is learned and can't
see how it is figured so high. Mayor
Tate awhile back, no doubt. heard
of these complaints according to the
wording of notice he had Inserted
in a daily paper here at the time.
Let's be fair on the proposition and
try to remedy the evil instead Of at
tempting to back up The Deo~
pie are due this. Mistakes will har,-
pen but they should net multiply
too fast. There is surely a reason
for some. of the complaints, all the
kiCkers are rot foolishIy complaining.
The Review suggests aplan that
will help things considerably. Let
cards be printed with the months ct
the year thereon and each month
let the man who reads the meter
place the exact reading in the proper
Column. In this way patrons can
1t once see if a mistake is made. In.
order that they may know how to
read the meters print key to same
on the bottom of the card. This
plan will in a way take the people
into confidence and will help materi-
ally to solve the problem. These
cards could be tackled alongside the
light meter (Water and lights both)
as in most cases the water meter is
out in the open. It would only take
A second to write the reading down
on the card. Another thing we have
noticed that sometimes the reading
Of the lights and water is not put
down on the statement rendered, "a

Sonal observation and we have heard

hasn't happened lately as far as we
know, aud it may not happen again

We.a convinced that the time
has come for broader citizenship
in its truest sense in High Polnt-a
citizenship, that will be- more out
spoken in its views ON all matters
pertaining to the welfare Of our City
"a resolve to condemn the wrong
publicly as we'll as to publicly up
hold the. right. A desire not so
much to talk and act in the dark and
afraid:to come ou. in the open on
account of a probable loss of prestige
or patronage. Years ago when High
Point was small town public criti-
c SIN of an official act was almost
treason. if we are to judge by a per-
sonal experience of Is, years. But
High Point is city now and things
have changed as well as the times

No less than 20 citizens have talk
ed with the editor the pas week on
matters concerning the city's welfare
apd all were agreed that this Or that
thing must be done, etc, and there
were at least IL out OF the 20 who
said that 81 can't afford TO. come cut
publicly as it. would hurt my bust
ness but my sentiments are with so
and o."\ There you are-Citizens
Who want TO better the peoples
condition but afraid to take a promi-
nent stand. There are scores of
others with so and so and they are
waiting for chance to jump off the
fence, but'-and there you are
wai,ing to see which way public
opinion is before the leap is made.
Shame on such men, are they good
citizens in the true sense? We leave
that for you to answer. Master of
thy soul or slave to a unnatural CON-
science! Which? This brings to
mind a statement mace to the editor
Monday by a citizen who heard a
thigh dignitary' of this city make
the remark that he (th!s high dig
nitary mind you) thought "Stamey
learned thing or two in the last
election. This remark was brought
forth on account of an article ap-
pearing in last weeks Review and
we suppose this high dignitary"
meant to suggest that The Review
had better be good' and keep
quiet. Without any desire to boast
the editor very gently informs those
W no desire to know if they haven't

God we own our own conscience
and shall pursue the course which
we think is right, regardless. Our
time may not come now, it may
never come during our life, but it
WILL come-this fight for the peo-
pies rights and a broader citizenship.
We took our schooling under a
greater man than the zone whom
would feign lead US from the path
of duty-trom a christian gentleman
whose last words almost to us was,
do the right thing, obey the die
tates of your con >cence.' We haven't
always done the right thing Ono
man is perfec) but. we want to do
it, we want to be of real service and
help others. The fact that, ap-
parently, the people sometimes are
fooled and vote and work against
their best interests. does bot daunt
the efforts of those who have right
to believe they are on the right
track. Right and justice triumphs
in the end.

BROTHERS FOUND
DEAD TOGETHER
Death From Deadly Fumes Of Monox.
Zoe Gas overtakes the Two
Men.

A shocking accident, monoxide gas
poisoning, by which two men lost
their lives yesterday at Keyser, w.
a, was revealed in q startling man
ner and has sent a shock throughout
the whole community up at the thirty
ing West Virginia city.
Two brothers by the name Of Mack

Baltimore e. Ohio Railroad, arrived
in town as usual at the end Of their
run early yesterday morning and
went to bed in a double room in Car
nelps boarding house, leaving word
to call them for supper if they did
not wake in time to go out on their
run. When six o'clock came and the
men had not arisen, a call was sent
up for them but no response being
obtainable, the room was entered and
both men fonnd dead in bed. They
had been dead several hours and med
ical aid was useless.
A faring gas Jet, which is said to
have been defective and thus caused
imperfect combustion, resulting In
monoxide gas poisoning, told the
shocking tale of how these two men,
in the prime of life, came to their
end. There was no ventilation in
the bedroom where they met death.
The Mackley brothers, one rs, the
other about 80 years of age, had been
on the b. & o. roar for about a year
and a half. They were well known
in Keyser and to B. &Os~men gener-
ally on the Third Division. One is
single, the other a married man with
two children. Their home is at Sui
phur City, near Elk Garden.

Resignation Of w. Winslow Pierce as

nouncement yesterday that Winslow

rectors about a week ago to succeed
former President Alexander Robert
SON, will be elected to the vacancy on
the executive committee.
Railroad men are at a loss to ex.
plain the resignation of Mr.. Pierce,
who has been connected with the road
since its purchase by the Gould in
terests from the city of Baltimore.
1t is believed in some circles that
the resignation of Mr.. Pierce is re.
garded as evidence OF the growing
interests of the Goulds in the com
pahyy again. It has been rumored for.
some time that George Gould has
been increasing his holdings in West.
ern Maryland.
The resignation of former Presi-
dent Robertson and the election of
President Fitzgerald, who is said to
be friendly to the Gould interests,
was pointed out yesterday as the
growing power of the Goulds.
Just what effect this change will
have on the merger of the Western
Maryland into the New York Central
lines is a question. but local men re-
garded it as a probable step in that
direction.
For a long time Mr.. Pierce has not
been friendly with the Gould inter
ests, according to general opinion.
The resignation and the merger
were topics for discussion among
railroad and financial men yesterday.
The resignation was not announced
until after moo "a anne as a great
surprise.
resident Fitzgerald is in New
York. No n else at the Office of
the Western Maryland would discuss
the change. He Is expected to re-
turn on Thursday morning.
