THE present Legislature seems to be
attending TO IFS business smoothly and
satisfactorily. There is very notable
and welcome absence OF the turmoil and
strife OF the past dozen years or more,
when factions in the Republican party
have been fighting for advantage. Now
is the time TO enact really beneficial legis-
lation. for there's no use TO quarrel over
partisan affairs.

Ii anything on this good green earth
should be free, il is education Wheeling
HielHgeHcer.
We sometimes feel like disputing such
assertions as these. The thing that we
appreciate most is usually that which we
earn, which comes TO us by hard work
or through sacrifice. There is danger
that the State may err in making an edu-
cation too easy to get. II will be worth
more TO the recipient, perhaps, if he pays
something for it.

ABILL has been introducedint the Legis-
lature for doing away with capital pun
ishment in West Virginia. We are rather
inclined 10 favor it, though we think that
provision should be made for hanging
coal operators and paper manufacturers
under certain conditions.
Shepherdstown register. [volume] (Shepherdstown, Va. [W. Va.]) 1849-1955, 1917-01-25

THE coal operators have no hesitation
in charging enormous prices for coal and
taking advantage OF the necessities of the
people, and if If were not for the binding
force OF contracts that retail dealers have,
there would be universal robbery. II
ever there was time when production
tax on coal was justifIable il is now, and
our Legislature ought to pass such meas
ure with whoop.
And on oil and gas. also.

The Woman's Club at Harper's Ferry.
A musical programme OF great interest
was rendered by members OF the Woman's
Club at their semi-monthly meeting on
Thursday afternoon, January 18th. The
musicale was held in the auditorium oil
the high school and the afternoon was
delightfully."- spent with American COM
poSerS.
Two excellent papers, biographical
sketches, most carefully and interestingly
prepared by Mrs. B. B. Ransom, were
the major features OF the programme.
These were followed by instrumental and
vocal selections Illustrating the compoS-
ers' work and style. The nicetieS OF in
terpetation and execution OF these num-
bers deserve special praise. The entire
programme sets high mark for future
occasions OF like character.
:. Besides the sketches Of Edward Nc
Dowell and Etheloert Nevin by Mrs.
Ransom, the programme included the fol-
lowing Instrumental solo by Mrs. Ran
son; vocal solo by Mrs. Young; musical
recitation by Miss Schilling; sketch Of

Mrs. Fiske In "ErstwhiIe Susan. -

Mrs. FISke In 'ErStWnfle SUSAN.
The coming OF Mrs. Fiske is always an
event OF importance and interest to play
goers, and the announcement OF the COM
ing Of that most distinguished Of our
American actresses 10 the Academy OF
Music, Hagerstown, on Monday evening,
January, 10Th, for one performance only,
is very welcome one. Additional inter
est attaches TO Mrs. Fiske's present visit,
since she is seen in brand new comedy
placed in an atmosphere made use Of on
the stage now for the first time, entitled
"Erstwhile Susan" II is from the pen
OF Marian de Forest, recalled for her
Little Women" MISS de Forest having
found her story in Helen K Martins
novel, "Barnabetta Miss de Forest
has succeeded admirably in transferring
from the book to the theatre the quaint
characteristics ofthe Pennsylvania Dutch
among whom Mrs. Martin placed her
story, and has supplied Mrs. Fiske with
one OF the most delightful comedy roles
she has had in recent seasons. Her
present role, in tact, marks the return Of
this splendid artist TO the field IN which
she excelS, that of delft, brilliant comedy.
In her new role OF Susan Dreary she has
ample scope Tor all those flashes OF fun
and airs OF feminine affectation recalled
so pleasantly IN her other performances.
Answering an advertisement placed in
Pennsylvania newspaper for wife by
tight-iisted, surly BarnabY Dreary, Su-
san Miller, an affected, posing lady high
flown in speech and individual" in dress,
finds herself the wife of a most bigoted
and narrow Pennsylvania Dutchman and
the stepmother OF two grown young men
and girl in her teens, Barnabetta. How,
despite her airs and graces. Susan gets
the upper hand OF the unpleasant con-
dhions surrounding her new lot forms a
most amusing and interesting story.
Madison Corey and Joseph Ritter, under
whose management Mrs. Fiske appears,
have surrounded her with a notably ex-
celent company which includes Walter
Wilson, Henry Mortimer, Rooert Stowe
Gill, John Daily Murphy, HUH Chilvers
Rixel Kent, Sol Aiken, Madeline Delmsr,
Wylda Mllison, Anita Clarendon. Anna
Reader, Frances Stirling Clarke, Virginia
Chauvenel ana Eleanor McMunne.

COLORED FOLKS AND IMNILGIsA.
TON.

Those progressive colored citizens
who have been endt avoring to stem
the tide Of black immigration now
steadily flowing Northward are hav
ing the time Of their lives in tho Of.
fort, when they note tho tan: a,izirg,
systematic persecution OF leading
colored men in the Southland, who
are obeying the laws and who have
committed no crimes o:lcr than to
he progressive and to stand In tho
forefront Of material progress In
the Southland. What can be said,
when people are prosecuted for liv
Ing on one block instead Of another,
sitting in one part of o street car in
stead Of another, their houses search
ed without warrants, their baggage
tempered with and the usual privi.
leges vouchsafed free citizen away?
In addition to this, their leading
men are denied the right of free
speech, an army of little mon seeking
notoriety do all IN their power to
hound and annoy them These
thoughts came to uE after visit to
Baltimore, Philadelphia, AbantiG
City, New York and Pittsburg, where
one meets up with old time friends
with about the same regularity as
he would do in old Virginia. 1t may
be that the far seeing white mon in
this commonwealth may find q way
to stop this systematic persecution
and the condition here be so improved
that the letters sent away from here
III private mail may read, como back
hero to Virginia." rather than, 'For
Gods sake. stay away from Virginia
and send me money enough to got
away too"
At tho conclusion Of this worlds
war, the garden spot of the United
States will be in the Southland. It Is
the natural home for the colored peo-
pie, IL they can find way to live
here without virtual confiscation of
property. Those of us, who are fight
ing the battle for equal rights and
equal Justice expect to do so to the
end Of the chapter, but we insist that
we be not hampered by class OF peo-
pie who see no further than their nos
es and who do not realize the damage
they are doing in gratifying private
spite or innate race prejudice. Let
those OF us take courage and If need
be send an organized committee to
those white men In charge Of affairs
to the: end that this senseless perse.
cution Of our people by some of the
white people shall cease. The great
majority of tho betterclass Of south
ern white people are oil right.
