MoNoNGAH, w. va.f, April 10
Editor The West virginianl.-Your
article in this evenings paper-Boost-
er VS.. Knockers an invitation for
some pretty good letters from readers
IL they will take the opportunity and
let go while the going is good. My
way Of looking at this mater is, a
person doesn't generally get knock
ed unless he deserves it. A boost.
er" generally gets boosted when he
has earned that right and not before
This leads the way to express ones
mind towards that hateful word and
Its meaning-Hypocrisy. There arc
few people who never exercise their
brains enough to stop and think before
expressing their views upon any sub.
pect at all. Now for instance we will
take a whack at the situation as 1t
Is today. We one and all know, or
think we know, that this country Is at
war. Who should we believe when
1t comes right down to business?
Take for instance one of the leading
weekly magazines with a circulation
upwards of 100000. This weekly
has some very discouraging articles
in its columns on the war situation
as far as this country is concerned.
In fact, 1t has been telling the Gospel
Truth on the situation for quite
while back. This tells us that we have
a very poor excuse for fighting ma
terial when it comes right to the point
Of showing up. This has reference,
to both land and water forces. Now
such being the case, why should we all
let on" that we can hammer hell
out OF nation that has been in prac.
tice for long years and knows nothing
only fight, and, sorry to say, has the
goods to show what it can do, and has
done? We are safe from getting hurt
as long as the European war continues
but should these fighting nations lay
down arms and declare peace, then
this map OF ours would likely feel hurt
some.
Because person wears war clothes
doesn't make that person a fighter.
Or because a gid wears white suit
or overalls with a pipe in his mouth
and brush in his hands does not
make him painter. Or we'll go lit
tie farther and say, because people go

sing and drop a penny in the basket

MRS. MoRDELLTS SECOND BOND.

XY7HEN Mrs. Mordei, arrested for selling liquor in
w violation of the laws of the commonwealth waived
hearing before Justice Musgrovc and offered 10
give bond pending the action of the grand jury in the
matter she was required to put up second bond in which
was agreed that if she raicked liquor in the meantime
$500 would be forfeited to the state
Which proves that the authorities are not as stupid abou,
this matter reinforcing the Yost law as they seem to be-
They have observed apparently, that accepting bond
for booeggers appearance at the next term of court is
nothing less than turning him loose to pursue his business
IN the interval between his appearance before the justice
who issued the warrant and the meeting of the grand jury
For some reason the powers that be want Mrs Mordelli
to stop selling Maybe she is too keen competitor Of
some of the dusy gentlemen who keep the Marion county
Democratic Gang in office At all events she is compelled
to hnd some one who willing to go bail that she will
obey the prohibition law pending the submission of the
case against her to the grand jury There is scarcely any
danger that this case will be regarded as precedent If
