MOfgantOWn, w. Va. jail, 5-2S-'14
Editor Wheeling Majority,
Wheeling, w. Va.
Dear Sir: .
herewith sen dyou reply received
by me to my letter to Congressman
Nicely protesting in the name of my
imprisoned brothers against the rank
injustice of our Incarceration by Judge
Dayton. It may be found of interest
to union men everywhere as indicative
of Congressman Neely's attitude in
the matter.
also enclose a clipping from the
local daily paper, Chronicle,
which is self explanatory. This meet
ing was held in the court room oppo-
site the Jail an dseated at the open
window could hear fragments of the
oratory. You will see that the ef-
forts of Judge Dayton through his To-
cal friends to have his actions endors-
ed was a pitiable fizzle. And the
same results will be found in other
counties that are removed from his
direct influence and where the mem
| bers of the bar are as Independent as
\ they seem to be here. A few unafraid
| of Judicial Tyranny. OF course one
mans name appears as a prominent
endorser and Union men cannot ex-
pect much else from member of a
family whose every public act has
been immicalto the interests of Ia
Dor. think your paper should ex-
press its appreciation of those law
yers who refused to become a party
to this cleverly planned endorsement
They were not afraid to go on rec
ord and should be complimented on
their stand as by their action and ut
terances they gave our cause boost
You got my name spelled wrong
Howald, not Howard-and l am anx-
ious to see it correctly spelled, as it
is the name of a Union Man who
proved his loyalty by nine months of
Collier discomfort.
Enclosed please find a front page
communication from yesterdays Post
Chronicle, which will show you l am
always on the job. It has just occur
red to me that next Saturday is Dec
Grafton Day, and my one regret is
that I will not be out to go to the
cemeery at Wellsburg and lay some
flowers on the graves Of my com
rades, who gave up their lives at Col
Tiers. At any rate I will be there that
day in spirit and / hope that our
brothers and sisters who have the Cd.
portunity will not forget to honor their
memory.
/ With best wishes and fraternal
greetings to all our friends, I am
/ Sincerely yours,
ERNST HowALD.

"Mr Ernest Howald,
Morgantown, w. Va.
Dear Sir:
Il acknowledge receipt of your es-
teemed favor Of May eighteenth, and

to assist you or any other citizen to
the limit Of my power in redressing
any injury that has been done you in

opportunity to give evidence regard

Dear Mrs Thompson: I was en-
| gagged to young man and we were
| about to be married We had talked
! things over very plainly and my
fiance expressed his views on certain
! things very clearly. | repeated the
| conversation to a friend, an older wo-
man, and she criticised me for let
ting the man think he was going to
o. have his own way in everything. /
decided to have my say about mat
tiers and the result was a quarrel and
a broken engagement.
| love this man too well to give him
up If there is anything l can do TO
win him back without compromising
my dignity. Please advise me.
IN TROUBLE.
My dear girl, you have acted very
foolishly. Nothing repels man so
thoroughly as for woman to show
symptoms of "a determination to run
him" and give no consideration to his
wishes. If you really love him you
will b6 anxious first of all for his hap
piness and he will be equally anxious
for yours. Marriage is a relation so
intimate that selfishness in either one
can fruin the happiness of both. II
you had expressed disapproval in 4
tactful way, no doubt your fiance
would have considered your objection,
but the attitude of determination TO
get ones own way never accomplish
ed anything but to make trouble.
The only thing you can tio is tol
write to the young man and tell hin!
you were foolishly following the adj
vice of a kneddler and say that you
love him we'll enough to be willing
to trust your future in his hands. II
you write the right kind of a note you
should have no trouble in winning
back the fiance; but he must have the |
fear of a domineering woman re !
moved from his mind.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l have been |
corresponding with a young lady for |
over n year. l am rather tired of the !
correspondence. How shall stop it?
Shall l say anything about it or sim
ply fail to answer the letter?
T. T. a.
I believe I would wait long while
before 1 answered her Hetter, then
write only a short note. Say you are
busy or have many engagements for
your evenings. Perhaps she will take
the hint and not reply. That will save
her pride or she may suggest that |
the correspondence come to an end.
If she does not, but writes as usual, do
not answer. You have said you were
busy. etc. She will understand that
you did not care to continue when she
fails to hear and of course will not
write again.
