TODAY's MARTYR TO DEMOCRACY.

B. Weaver.
During Weaver's time. there also
arose John P. Altgeld, one OF Ameri.
cas- great ones. He dared to set free
the anarchists. as clearly convicted
by popular clamor as was Leo Frank
hut in setting tnem free. Altgeld
brought down on himself hatred as
bitter as the cause of 1t was great !;
for he extended to the men who at.
tackled property the same protection
of the laws that all agree should be
given to those who only attack life.
Tom Johnson was one OF the great,
est OF these. He threw away his for,
tune and killed himself for the cause
of the common man. More clearly
than Gerrit Smith, Johnson under,
stood that land monopoly Is the gre&:
enslaving agency.
In a way Bryan has been in this
class. but not fully. mi way. La Fo!,

Both still possess the privilege OF
completing their martyrdom.

An he Is receiving his martyrdom.
1t is not over yet; for the hate which
he must be proud TO have directed
against him is the same hate which
existed when old John Brown was
hung.

ANSWERS TIE CALL.

Matt FARRELL, who unless Governor
Hatfield commutes his sentence, will
be executed at the Moundsville pen
itentiGry this evening, sent the fol-
lowing message to his mother the 9th.
er day: Come to Me. Mother"
Very brief this message, but it con-
ta4red q wealth Of thought.
Matt FARRELL, who had joked with
his guards from the very day he was
brought to the institution and who
seemingly had no fear OF death. was
evidently weakening as the last hours
approached, and he sought some one
for ccmfort-his mother.
Did she answer the message? OF
course she did. Just as any mother
would do. She took the first train
for the penitentisry and was soon at
the side Of her son. but before leaving
Charleston for Moundsvile, she had
& personal interview with Governor
Hatfield and made plea for the life
Of her boy. and If the chief executive
81 the state decided to commute the
sentence Of the man who is schedule
10 die tonight, it viii be because the
mother of the prisoner made last
plea for his life.
Il the Governor fails to change the
UsAtsnee from death to life imprison'
msnt, Matt Jarrell's mother will stay
With him Until the last and do all in
her power to comfort the condemned
man.

MANY BAD STORMS.

For . cool summer, 1915 is produc-
ing some wonderful, or rather dread
ful, storms. The middle west has been
tie greatest sufferer by the outbreak
Of the elements and the recent storm
vas the worst that has been exper,
ienoed In the middle west for many
decades. The death toll Of the latest
tempest was in the vicinity OF 50
wAile hundreds were more or less in.
5ursd and millions Of dollars of prop.
erty damage done.
Several seers predicted that this
summer would be q summer Of many
woes, and so far they seem to have
struck the nail on the head.

(sy Herbert ouIck.)

In every generation there is one
man in this country who is to a great
er or less extent a martyr to demoC
racy-a man who pours on the altar
OF freedom his prospects in life, his
personal comforts and friendships,
and that esteem Of his fellow men Of
short sight which may easily be as
dear as life itself.
I suppose such men have always
existed in America, but they become
illustriously prominent only at that
time in our history when the rights OF
man to his labor ana the fruits there.
OF became issues in our affairs.
Wendell Phillips saw that chattel
slavery was only part Of the prob
lem OF human servitude; and so long
as he lived, he stood for the abolition
Of those subtler forms OF slavery IN
der which the masses OF men still suf-
fer. I remember his ringing denun-
citation of Gladstone's betrayal Of Ire

skim"
After Phillips. came Peter Cooper.
Like Phillips, Cooper might have lived
honored. comfortable. at peace with
wealth and artstocracy; but he chose
to fight for the rights Of the common
man. He died rich and respected, but
he never had the confidence Of the
men among whom he lived. He was
a dangerous crank"
Cooper was never good speaker.

great genius for public affairs; but

is a Reasonable presumption. It Is
not likely that an ordinary college
professor, unaided and without fnan-
cial backing, could have done what
he did in the last fortnight. This is
the conclusion Of Police Commission
er Woods and his detectives, who re.
fer to Hollis ability to go wherever he
pleased until last Saturday morning,
without detection. and the facility with
which he could obtain and transport
large quantities Of dynamite and bomb
making material from place to place.
1t may be that he had one or two &C.
completes, or It may be that he was
tool OF great conspiracy.
There Is mystery about his death,
and there was singular carelessness,
to say the least, on the part OF the
taller at Mineola, which made It easy
for Holt to open an unbarred cell door
and an unlocked corridor door, and SO
gain access to the grill work which
permitted him to climb to the roof Of
the cage and cast himself headlong to
the cement floor. All hope Of obtain
ing confession has disappeared with
Hollis death. Some information might
yet be obtained from the mysterious
girl who demanded to see Holt soon
after his arrest, II she can still be
found. At all events, the search for
Hollis accompIices must be thorough,
and II he was the agent of deep.laid
and widespread conspiracy. it is to be
hoped that his fellow-conspirators will
be promptly caught.-Pittsburgh Te!e-

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MEETS.

CHHm6Eh OF Yum MEME WEE D
The Chamber Of Commerce was in
session last night, and one Of the
biggest meetings Of the year was held,
In point Of a number Of members pres
ent. Little real action was taken,
however. Several important ques-
tons such as the gas rates and the
filing OF Coal Run were brought up
at the meeting and discussed, but no
definite action was taken on any Of
these propositions. Committees were
appointed to further investigate these
problems and 10 make reports at the
next session Of the body. The pro-
posed carbon factory for Fairmont
was reported on unfavorably by the
committee appointed to make an IN
vestigation OF the enterprise. and the
Chamber OF Commerce accepted the
report OF the committee and will not
sanction the proposed new works for
this city.

MYSTERY IN MINEoLA JAIL.

The death of the prisoner FRANK
Holt. in tho Mineola Jail. demands a
most searching investigation. Even
if that examination brings to light
nothing worse than arrant careless
ness on the part of the jail authori
tics. the inquiry must be made. Holt
was a dangerous criminal. perhaps a
maniac. What was his incentive and
who his prompter are facts of vital
importance that can never be deter
mined. now that he is dead.-N. y

TYPO CLOSED UP FOR NIGHT
Fake Substitute, Taken With Pains,
Turned Upper Case Down Over

this: In the old days, when a typo
laid off he had to provide a substitute.
A printer named jerks, wanting lay
of, was compelled to persuade a man
who was not printer to take his
place at the case, explaining to him
that he could be taken suddenly sick
and get away from the office before
the fraud was discovered.
Shortly after the fake substitute
lined up before the case with its GU
rious little boxes full Of loose type, he
was seized with fake pains.
What's the matter with you?"
asked the foreman, coming to his side:
Il don't know" said the fake print

According to the Mcclure syndi-
cate, i'll feeling against Americans is
strong in London. English people re-
sent our neutrality as much as the
Germans resented what they thought
was lack of it. Its the right of
Americans to be neutral or unneutral,
just as they please; but if they ex-
pect to enjoy their rights, they must
put themselves in position to main
tain them. Corrupt politicians and
cowardly pacifsts have made US al
most helpless, consequently, we must
endure whatever insults less powerful
but better prepared nations may see
fit to infict on us.

One of the reasons why the vets
expect to win in the coming election
is that so many negroes in the north
west portion of the county paid their
poll taxes in order to vote in the
county division contest. They should
not be so certain. Liquor is the worst
enemy the negro race has, and there
is even more reason for a colored man
to vote dry than white man. Some
of the colored people are wise enough
to see it that way and will vote ac-
cordingly.
