STILL NO ACTION.

The Intelligencer has been fair to
Congressman Nicely In warning him OF
the unrest that obtains among his con-
stituency In Wheeling over his failure
to designate his choice OF a postmaster
from among the available list he now
has In his possession. II has been in
sistent for a decision because no good
reason has been advanced for the un-
reasonable delay. II is true that some
intimation has been made that for
personal reasons Mr.. Nicely does not
care TO decide this matter before the
election for fear OF adding TO the en-
oarrassments that already confront
him. The Intelligencer regrets that
this nervousness OF the future afficts
the First District CONGRESSMAN. but
II feels that II has extended all the
consideration due him under the cir
cumstances. and for the last time
II exhorts him to name his man.
Congressman Nicely may not know
1t. but we are creditably informed
that continued neglect on his part to
perform a simple duty is only adding
TO his embarrassment instead of re-
lieving the situation. He should know
that The Intelligencer cannot hold the
lid down much longer.

THE WAR TAX

IL seems an extraordinary hardship
that the toll of war should fall on this
country. a neutral nation. Such are
the ramincations OF the unspeakable
struggle now going on in Europe that
the President Of the United States is
compelled TO ask Congress for ievies
sufficient TO plug up a 500. 900. 900 hole
that has been shot in our revenues.
In his address to Congress yesterday
he said the requirements OF the treas
ury were indicated by a falling on Of

from customs during the month OF
August. tho first month Of the war.
There is no hope for an early improve.

default IN the revenues.

WHAT HAS COME TO LABOR.

Labor celebrates on Monday, and It
has many things to acclaim In the
progress Il has made In the last dec
ade. Notwithstanding the depressing
times II has experienced In the last
year. This depression Is modified.
however. by temporary relief
through the advantage this coun-
try enjoys as a neutral power
and the cataclysmic effects OF
a destructive war now being
vaged in Europe. II is no wonder that
labor is against all war. as 1t thins its
ranks and demands heavier toll from
that class than from all other condi-
tons and avocations. 1t leaves It
practically helpless and dependent
when the victorious banners 60 home
and the defeated are left to contem
plate the desolation and destruction
wrought
Happily. American labor looks out
on a brighter prospect to-day. The
needs OF foreign countries must be
supplied. and the depleted home mar
ket will make the silent wheels OF
factories hum again and the smoke
belch from mill chlmneys that have
been smokeless. But labor can cast
up its account OF substantial progress
in material things that have nothing
TO do with war. II has secured for
itself better wages with shorter hours
OF employment The conditions sur
rounding the workshop and the mill
have been ameliorated. The health
and moral standards OF the working
class have been improved through
strict sanitary regulations. the mine
and the factory have been made safer.
Hazardous employment is safeguarded
and dependents are provided for
through the operations OF benefcent
compensation laws. The evils Of child
labor have been greatly lessened and
compulsory education looks forward
TO a more enlightened citizenship.
The interests OF the workingman
have been conserved through laws OF
Congressional and State legislative On.
