TO their demands. If he does, and the
district has the same regard for his
ability as his friends in Fairmont
have he will be the nominee and the
next congressman.

onel Thomas E. Hodges, of Morgan
town, former head Of the state uni
versity and candidate Of his party
for congressman-at-large at the last
election. Friends of he colonel aver
that he is the man for the place but
until he consents to be mentioned his
possibilities are doubtful as he is nice
~ located at the present time and
might not desire to make another
campaign.
If you. were to ask a man from Min
eral county who should succeed the
dead congressman, the reply would
Immediately be SHERIFF Mighty
Nethkin." Mr.. Nethkin is a young
Democrat who has proved his ability
and popularity in his home sections
where he was elected sheriff of his
county which is strongly Republican.
He is big enough for the Brown place
and, if he would allow his name to be
used, would likely prove factor in
the running.
Honorable Cleveland NJ. Seibert, Of
Martinsburg, is one of the most prom
inent young Democrats of the east

legislature for a couple of terms, he
proved himself no mean lawmaker
and is one of those genial and force
full fellows who make a lot of friends.
His name has been mentioned in con-
nection with the congressional honor
and he would be. very strong with the
party in the eastern end of the dis
trict and would make a very favor
able impression upon the people OF
the western sections if he would en-
ter the race.

The people of Chicago are entitled
to the reductions from their public
service companies in the way of rates
when such are made possible, but do
not 5000 of our citizens who are the
employees Of this pUblic-seTvice COM
pany have the first claim on the prof
its of their toll to the extent of being
given a living wage?-Frank C.

HE FObLlO FOhOM
COMMONWEALTH EDISON
I have been very much interested in
the public announcement that there
is to be a material reduction in the
electric light rate.
It is claimed that the density of the
population and newer methods of
manufacture and distribution have
made the reduction possible.
Can Mr.. insult tell us what piece
of machinery or method of distrib-
uting has caused this phenomenal
reduction?
Where, in the last two or three
years, has the density Of population
increased to such an extent?
AS a matter Of face, has it not been
the employees, and not the new meth
ed of manufacture, which have low
cred the cost? How much of this
has been ground out of the en-
ployes? How much of this was
earned from the laying off Of several
hundred employees in 1914, many of
whom had served the company
faithfully for a number of years and
whose. places were filed by cheaper
help. How many raises were given
employees in 1913, 1914 and 1915?
Is it not a fact that all increases in
salary were stopped for about two
years?
How many men do they employ
who are endeavorng to raise a fam
lily on their salary of from $50 to $50
a month? Yes, and how many on
$50 a month?
When these questions are publicly
swered it will easily be seen how the
reduction in the rate was made pos
sible. The strike of a large number
Of the employees, which is now on,
who are asking merely a living wage,
is evidence of the general condition
of their employees.

HILL A VICTIM.-In answer to
our dignifed friend Pickering, who
upholds the present capitaIistic order
Of society and says the powers that
got Joe Hill were the powers of law
and order, I will assert and labor will
contend with me that these powers
are solely upheld by henchmen of
the Pickering type.
Labor has only been injured by
those henchmen of the capitalist

become real prOdUcers) and through
their traitOrioUs work allow them
selves to be carried beyond the
realms of human existence made so
by promises given them by no other
than their master who is their bene-
factor.
1t was not Hills desire to place a
stigma upon labor, but it is the de-
sire of the employing class to crush
labor by fOUTmeans, so long as it can
gain its ends.
Such law and order as we have to-
day is not of the people but is forced
upon them by the exploiting class,
through it's henchpen, demanding
observance through fear of jails, pen
itentiaries and other goth century
tOTtUres.
This case of Hill is surely not sweet
smelling to those out of harmony
with the struggle of the oppressed
against OppressOr.

you will, but the time is near when

A crowd of fair size, though much
smaller than the quality of the enter

rare exhibition of ability in dramatic
reading last evening at the Spaulding
assembly hall. The reader, Mrs. Elvie
Burnett Willard of the Emerson college
of Oratory in Boston, repeated the read
ing, which she had already given in the
afternoon, of Edward Peple's prince
Chap" The reading was arranged from
the novel of the same name which, in
turn, was written from the drama, and
with its mixture of quaint humor and
pathos gave Mrs. Willard an excellent
opportunity to demonstrate her more
than ordinary ability. Seven characters
appear in the play and no two are alike.
Mrs. Willard changed her voice from a
representation of that of an English
servant to the babyish tones of child
of FIVE years and again to the affected
accents of an English gentlewoman with
apparent ease and she gave the parts
with a feeling that moved her audience
from laughter to the verge of tears many
times during the reading. The play was
arranged in three acts with a short inter.
mission between each one and, though
occupying the better part of two hours
in the reading, seemed to the hearers to
be much shorter. The entertainment last
evening was given under the auspices OF
the high school teachers.
