endeayoring to show why
'eholden TO President Wilson
emocratic Congress for some
yors they have conferred
4organiLed labor. At the same time
1 Ir- Gompers has gone out Of his way
to misrepresent the attitude OF Charles
q Evans Hughes towards labor. On
s Tuesday last The Intelligencer printed
Ia communication from Mr.. V. B. Arch
er, Of Parkersburg. one OF the ables:
laWyers of West Virginia, in which he
exposed the falsity Of Mr.. Gompers
pntentions in the Maine campaign
b regard to the so-called eight hour
RECOMMENDED by the President
q passed BY trucking Congress.
aIn to-day's issue Of The Intelligencer
SM. Archer, in another article, takes
b Mr.. Gompers' partisan bought de-
tanciation OF the Republican candi-
ute for President as an enemy Of
lhor for his participation in the suit
IEainst the Danbury hatters before
he United States Supreme Court. In
bis instance, as in the eight hour
law buncombe, Mr.. Archer shows
where the head Of the Federation of
. Labor Is wholly unjust in his con-
LcH1s.ons and wilfully misrepresentfve
the application Of them. 1t Is to
hoped that every workingman in
wheeling will not only read, but care
(1y study Mr.. Archer's exposition Of
his celebrated case, as we'll as the
kAr1zona AnttAlien law case.
It is, significant Of another charge
made by the Democrats Of West Vir-
S-gin!a, holding Justice Hughes respon-
sible for the decision against the
State In the Virginia debt suit, that
the opinion settling the Danbury hat
\ tiers case was rendered by Chief JUS
uce. fuller two years before Mr.. Hugh
Is es became a member Of the Supreme
Court 1t was the same Chief Justice
Fuller who settled the fundamental
question connected with the suit
against West Virginia, also before Mr..
Hughes became a Justice OF that
Court.
= But what does Mr.. Gompers' PERM
cioNs activity on behalf Of the Demo-
cratic administration in Maine show?

Hughes does not merit the citicism
made by Mr. Gompers, OF his judicial
acts. as affecting labor. He could have
decided the Arizona case In no other
way and retained his self respect or
with any regard whatever for his oath

in the development of the state ware
house system, being entirely at the ex-
pense of the farmers themselves. Under
this plan We could organize a system
OF state insurance, in cooperation with
the sinking fund commission, which
within five years would not only re-
duce greatly the cost OF insurance, but
would show a profit of thousands OF
dollars to the state itseif-not money

state by the state, but money kept at

states of the North, East and West
The saving to the farmers, in one par
ticular, may be estimated as follows:
| Every bale of cotton graded in South
Carolina, under the local system Of
grading, is classified at least one grade
under the standards fixed by the United
States government, loss ranging
from "a to so points, depending upon
the grade of cotton. twenty-five points
loss would be a very low average. This
loss amounts to at least $1.25 bale.
Deduct from this the fee Of Is cents
levied by the Farmers union bill, and

II must be remembered that any
change in the system of handling the
cotton crop which interferes with the
profits Of middlernen invites bitter
fight by those affected. 1t is a truisn

condemn, the wrong we are aiding to break down the force of the public opinion of mankind in the support of jusnce and righteousness, and with that We are helping to destroy the forces of peace and justice which serve to prevent others from doing wrong towards us and thus serve to preserve our peace and safety. It is
 however, worse than idle, it is is mischievOus, to indulge in visionary plans about world -action in the fu- ture, until in the present. We act as We should in two vital matters; in
 the first place by abandoning the per nicious habit of making reckless
 promises which cannot, or ought not, or will not be kept, and in the second
 place, and most important of all, by
 preparing our own strength SO that we can protect our own rights.
 A Guaranty of Peace
 Preparedness instead of being pro-
 vocative of war and injustice. tells in favor of peace and justice. Only through preparedness can we do jus
 tice to others. Only through prepar- edness can We secure justice for our selves. Well-meaning persons who have not thought seriously or deeply on the subject sometimes assert that
 We are too far away from the old world ever to fear assault or invasion. | The answer is two-fold. In the first place We have under our flag the Canal Zone and Alaska, and various
 islands. These it is absolutely i'm
 possible to protect from any formid- able foe except by first class navy | and army. In the next place, the
 events of the present war. show that
 the ocean is now a highway for any
 power whose ships control it. We i have just witnessed the transfer by sea of a Russian army from Eastern ! Siberia to France--a sea voyage three
 times as long as that across the At lantic We have seen a huge army gathered at the Dardanelles from
 England. France and Australia; ant the distance from Australia to th' Dardanelles is far greater than thu i distance from Asia to our shores There gathered for the attack on Con
 stantinople q host of fighting mel drawn from the great island -continen
 os the South Pacific, and they wer' joined by the fighting men of thu British Isles, who dwelt on the op : posite side of the world. From thu : northern and the southern hemis pheres, the transport steamers hav'
 carried with speed and safety, owe the two greatest oceans, masses 0
 troops ten times as numerous as ou whole mobile army. If any arm , half the size of that which attacked 1 the Dardanelles was landed near Nev York or San Francisco in a time m longer than that occupied by tn | British and Australians in reachin
 the Dardanelles, we should in tn , present condition of our forces be ut terly at it's mercy. The immediat r loss would fall on the Atlantic or Pa r cific coast; but we are all Americans and the disgrace would be shared b f 1 all of us wherever we live, and tn . blow to our self-respect and our ma
 terial well being would shake oH $ whole country to it's foundations.

Forty Years in Darkness


 This is Memorial Day You have to- day decorated the graves of gallant men who paid by their death for the lack of wisdom and foresight shown by our forefathers. This is q day of homage to heriosm. But it is also a day of mourning For forty years prior to the Civil War our people refused to face facts and soDerlv bend their en- ergies to make war impossible. Heroes shed their blood. and women walked all their lives in the shadow, because there had beer such lack of foresight, such slOthful lazy optimism. Let the lesson thus taught sink into the minds of us of this generation. Let us not from laziness and lack of foresight create a situation where brave men shall die to make good our shortsight- edness. l ask that We prepare not be- calsc I wish war but because with all my heart l desire to keep war afar from us; and only by forethought and ty preparation of soul and body can we thus keep it afar off
 The end we have in view is a high ard fine national life based on an in- dustrial efficiency which shall be ac. , companied hy social and ecomnic jus-. ilce. Military preparedness against war iS merely means to this end But it l k an indispensable means. We are not lit tc lie free men unless we show 1 the lorethought and will power neces- saIy to insure that we ourselves shall have the right to decide our own des- tlnles, and not be forced helplessly to Dr11it fo hat conQuerors. Ii we are true to the men of the mighty past we shall guide ourselves l ty what Lowell wrote to the pacifists of his time. who-to use his own words Wished to 'knuckle down. to their foes. he said 1 Peace won't keep house with Fear, II you want peace the thing you've got to do

we shall incur the contempt of other nations, and contempt of that kind is easily turned into active international violence. If we cannot protect our selves we may be sure that no one else will protect us. If we are not prepared in advance, We cannot be true to ourselves; and if we are not true to ourselves we shall certainly he false to every one else.
 International Duty
 believe in International Duty. l hold that We cannot assert that that we are entirely guiltless of responsi- bility for the outrages committed on well-behaved nations, particularly on Belgium, and on non- combatants, par ticularly on women and children, in the present war. Prior to the war we lad become parties to the various conventions and treaties designed to mitigate the horrors of war, and to limit the offenses that can, with inn punity, be committed by belligerents either on neutrals or nOn- -combatants. When we declined to take any action under these conventions and treaties wc ourselves treated them as scraps Of paper" Such being the case. while our guilt is not as great as that of the strong and ruthless nations who committed the misdeeds we neVerthe- less occupy, in some respects, an even meaner position. For we possess strength, and yet We refuse to make ready this strength and we refuse to Ese it for righteousness. We possess strength. and yet we decline to put it behind our plighted word when the interests and honor of others are involved.
 Performance of international duty to others means that in international affairs. in the commonwealth of na ticns, we shall not only refrain from wrOnging the weak, but according tC our capacity. and as opportunity of fers. stand up for the weak when tho weak are wronged by the strong Most emphatically it does not mear that we shall submit to wrong doing by other nations. To do so is a proo not of virtue, hut of weakness, and C. a mean and abject national spirit. T, submit to wrong doing is to encour age wrong doing; and it is. therefore itself. form of iniquity-and q pc cuiarly objectionable form of iniquity for it is based on cowardice Tn first step in securing internationa justice is that every peaceful well behaved nation shall develop it's owl strength and its intelligent will power so as to prevent ill-behaved nation from wrong doing. The second stel is that the strong among these i'll behaved nations shall, in some way O shape extend aid and comfort to thei weak well behaved brothers. whel The latter are wrOnged. The duty O . nation like ours cannot he consid cred as if we stood alone in the world We are one Of a community of nation and the effective condemnation c wrong doing by that community is tn great force of civilization.

ENGINEER MINE
 MAkIHG GOOD

People lately out from Atlin re- port that the Eng,reer mine, the property of Captain James Alexan- der, located between Carcross and Atlin, long known to be rich in gold-bearing ore, is now looking very much more promising than ever before as the result of a large amount of development work recently done on 1t. In tact, it is believed by expert mining men to be the richest of gold-bearing ledges on the American continent.
 Captain Alexander has been work ing the Engineer property for the past several years in a small but profitable way, making three stamp mill not only pay for the development of the mine but yield a nice profit at the same time. The development work has proven the extent and richness of the property beyond all question, and the results are so encouraging that Operations will be carried on the coming sea- son on a much larger scale than eyer before-a scale which will yield fabulous profits to the for tunate owner.-Whitheorse Star.
