Catcalls and groans, vegetables and

still the well-meaning performer, who

Finally despairing spectator hurls

avoid placing yourself between two

.. ". -.
These are no words of a |
demagogue to venture the state
ment that as this manuscript |
goes to the hands of the prin
ter the piteous cry of WANT is
going forth from a million Amer
lean homes.
1.-THE United States of Ameri-
ca" is a well-eaten phrase, but
this time as we let it slip from
our tongues we ask: "What are
we UNITED for?" OF what use is
a national compact, if to the one
hundred million parties to that
compact there is not given the
economic guarantee against
WANT AND THE FEAR OF WANT?
We talk with a certain patriot
ic bravado and pretentiousness
of "Our National Destiny. "
Who is to share in that "Desti-
nyw-the favored few who &C
accumulate the national wealth,
or the great masses of our citi-
zenry?
Lift up your eyes, and look
abroad upon our vast Republic!
Everywhere within our national
boundaries are the teeming
thousands of the unemployed
with an empty purse; a million
mothers gaunt with the fear of
no-morrows' Dreadful why
attempt to put into phrases of
speech this unutterable cry this
begging for help from all quar-
tiers of America; this Wanted
great World Power" this Re
public such as the world has
never Scent"
The other day we launched a
battle-ship that, as a destroyer
of Man, is the last word of per-
verted genius as it constructed
this piece of the Enginery Of
Death.
But what is the first or last
word to hear in the way of our
Economic Deliverance?
We are not at war with a
foreign foe, and our army and
navy must wait until we are.
But this war this PRESENT war
with WANT! In this war the
cry goes out Wanted! An Eco
nomic Deliverer!
To this cry is there to be no
response but e echo to mock
our voice?
Where is the statesman who
will shake that great political
temple-The Halls of Congress-
with the challenge of a plan to
put five hundred thousand of the
unemployed to work at harness
ing the Mississippi river against
the next food. or piking the
country with a dozen trans con-
tinel highways?
How will we get the money?
Read your national Constitu-
ton for the answer, and note
that it says:
Congress shall have power
to coin money and to regu-
late the value thereof"
There need be no bond-issues
no thirty or forty year yokes
about our necks-no interest
bearing debts.
In this great national crisis as
Is now upon US we can we'll
enough afford to put away the
superfuous technicalities as to
what the power to coin money"
means. 1t means, literally con-
structed, congress shall have
power to ISSUE money, and with
a half million idle men put to
work creating national wealth,
the Treasury department under
authority of Congress could print
National Scrip, or National La
Dor Certificates, call them what
ever you would, but this curren.
cy, so ISSUED in payment of la
Dor performed, could be made le-
gal tender, and received back
into the treasury for taxes when
it could be re-issued.

burned.

metics Mr.. Mustoe could not write
as well with his left arm as the one
he gave to the southern confederacy,
and we recall that he would have
your fellow citizen, Uncle Robt. A.
McCutcheon to write the copy for
his school. However we desire, "be-
fore we forget it" to give credit to
our old friend Miss Zanppa Phillips,
now the wife of Hazel Corley of
Weaver, w. Va, for our first teacher
in penmanship, who wrote us copies
during the war, and we learned to
write after them with pen made of
an elder and fashioned like a quill"
pen. We remember some Of the
copies, Many Men of Many Minds"
MANY Birds of Many Kinds" PRO
crastinction is the Thief of Time"
The years that we have lived has inn
pressed us with the truth of both
the sentences. But we are digress-
ing, we recall that one morning on
going to school some Of the boys had
met early, and thoughtlessly, and to
conform to an antique custom, had
barred the door on the teacher and
had him sign contract to treat his
pupils, this custom we always OPP
posed with all teachers, but much
more so, with man who had but
one arm. Our friend Clay, shared
with us the same opinion. He mar
ried Miss H. C. Elliot, youngest
daughter Of Col. VIM. Elliott, and
they moved to a farm near st.
George, Tucker Co., w. Va, where
he engaged in farming and built a
good house in the mercantile bust
ness for some years, in partnership
with Mr.. Samuel Ewing of that
/ place. Some years ago he sold this
property, and bought the DR.. Biggs
property near Belington where he
lived for several years, selling it, he
moved into town, where he lived for
a number of years endearing him
self to the people by his kind Chris
tian life. We in company with M.
X. Smith, went to his home few
! days before his death and found him
a very sick man. After taking us
/ by the hand, and telling US he was
very poorly" he soon lapsed into a
semi-counscious state At his bed
side we met his old friend and neigh
| Dor, Rev. L. s. Awhile, who spoke
very feelingly of his noble Christian
character, and said that while living
at St. George, he always worshiped
at the M. E. Church South, as the
Missionary Baptist had no church
there. He obeyed the Masters COM
mand by Laying up treasures in
Heaven, where moth and rust do not
corrupt, nor thieves break through
and. steal"
May God comfort his devoted wife
and son.
