RIOTING IN WEST VIRGINIA

RIoTING IN WEST VIRGINIA
The strike situation in West Vir-
ginia has assumed serious proportions
again, the governor of the State
having been asked to investigate the
Cabin and Paint Creek districts with
a view to calling out the militia, and
declaring martial law. The fact is,
however, that while the troops were
withdrawn some time ago gradually.
the governors proclamation declar-
ing martial law still holds.

OIL MAGNATE UNABLE TO TEST
The House Money Trust Com
mittee has been seeking the testimony
Of VIM. Rockefeller for several

that he was In hiding, and many
hundreds Of dollars were spent in
the search fer him. Later he was
discovered in the south, where he
was reported to be sick at his win
ter resort on Jckyl Island, Georgia.
The Committee would not accept the
statement of his physician that he
would be unable to testify, and Chair

Shepherd Bill Passed

The Webb Bill which takes the
place OF the shepherd-Keuyon Bill,
passed the House OF Representatives,
Saturday. by a vote of 24O to IS, and
the senate. Monday, by a good ma jor-
ity.
The Kenyon Dill was being consider
ed in the Senate and at the conclu-
sion Of the discussion the Webb Bill
was sui stitutcd for 1t, thus removing
the NECESSITY for a Joint conference
over tie bill. That II may become a
law now 1t is only necessary for the
President to sign.
A good deal of excitement was oc-
casiontd by the declaration shortly
after the bill passed the Senate that
the President will veto 1t upon Cor
stituticnal grounds. Many, in fact
most Of those who nave opposed the
measure have not been brave enough
to come out and tell their real reas-
on. They must oppose, they say, be-
cause they believe in Constitutional
Government. This was the plea Of
one OF Kentucky's Senators, Payn-
ter. II was the plea also of Senator
The citizen. [volume] (Berea, Ky.) 1899-1958, 1913-02-13

Root and many others. These gentle
men were ably answered both in the
House and in the Senate, the author
of the Bill declaring that the state
has the right 10 refuse the entrance
OF affected cattle and sheep at It's
borders, this right being given by
Congress, and IL should have the
same right 10 prohibit the entrance
Of a more disastrous article of com
merce, whiskey.
Tho plea about Constitutionality,
Of course, is only a blind. II is the
business Of Congress to represent the
people, and the people, or the vast
majority of them, want the states
and the various local governments TO
be able to control the whiskey traf-
fic. II Is the business Of Congress TO
pass such law as the Shepherd-Ken-
yon Bill or the Webb Bill. II is not
their business to refuse to do so be-
cause in their Judgment IL is uncon-
stitutional Neither is II the business
OF the President to veto it for that
reason. The Supreme Court OF the
United States exists for that pur-
pose.

IIOOKWORM AT REFORM SCHOOL
DR.. M. w. Steele q the State
Board Of Health is making an inves-
tigation for hookworm at the Green
dale Reformatory. There are more
than seven hundred boys and girls
in the Institution, and it is thought
that the list Of infected with the
disease will reach 30 or 40 per cent.
1t is suggested that the degener-
acy resulting in the placing Of these
children in the reformatory may be
due In a large measure to the Il
fects Of the disease upon their
parents or upon themselves.
