The Example of a Prince

Every American boy is born a
prince, destined 20 become a king
king by divine right of the people to
rule. How we'll do we train our boys
for their high estate and RESPONSE
bilities? Is there a lesson for demo-
cratic Americans in the example Of
young prince who, for all his boy
ishness, has been educated and
trained from birth for his duties to
come?
We think there is. 1t is the
tendency Of every revolution, of
every shift Of power and sovereign
ty, to waste needlessly something of
the example of the past. Human
nature is still human nature, in a
democracy as in a monarchy, and
needs the same virtues and the same
principles to succeed. In shifting
sovereignty from king to people,
nobility, in the high sense Of the
word, cannot be dispensed with. The
duty to rule and rule Justly and
wisely is only distributed among the
many. 1t is not, by a trick, aboI-
ished, rendered supert1uous.
There is constant complaint in
America Of lack Of able and high
minded men trained to public Office
and welcoming its opportunities. In
this democracy Of ours office-holding
has become almost a joke, a goal for
mediocrities, halfway competent,
halfway virtuous. Our great and
distinguished mayors, governors and
legislators are conspicuous as excep-
tions. At the very top, in our presi-
dents, the level Of ability has been
low, even though the level of con-
science and rectitude has been high.
This would surely not be true If
we trained our youth to understand
their duty as citizens, to feel their
share of that same responsibility to
VIC oIdtc tilel IulcS lDc upDTlnR1ng
Of prince. To use language clearly
and eloquently, to speak in public, to
bend pleasure and labor to the single
duty of serving his country in the
post to which fate has called him
we have all seen something In the
last few days Of prince thus edu-
Gated and thus inspired.
The citizens of a republic like to
feel that they can view kings with
candor and impartiality They
should view their own rulers, that
is themselves, their men and women
voters, and their prospective rulers,
that is their boys and girls, with
equal candor and impartiality. If
prince can set them an example
showing how their rulers should be
trained and taught, they should be
glad Of the lesson.

A way can and must be found to
carry out the country's will. The
dagger that the President has
sought to thrust into the treaty's
heart must be drawn out and the

should this be done, but it can be
done. Not the fifteen Senators but

Coal companies maintain general
merchandise stores in the mining com
Jmunities. Miners are not compelled 70
deal with the company store. but
with few exceptions they buy practi-
cally all they eat and wear from these
stores. Even household furniture is
purchased by the miners from the
company store and the expenditures
made in these stores Indicate very
accurately the miners cost of living.
Store Prices
In the comparative statement at the
five mines in the Kanawha district 1t
Is shown that the store sales are the
largest item of expenditure by the
miner. In the six months of l9l7 ex-
penditures OF the miners at this store
amounted to 22.9 per cent of the gross
earnings of the miners In the same
six months Of 1919 the store expendi-
lures increased to but 2577 per cent
Of
expense included not only the food
stufs consumed. but such other items
as shoes, clothing, furniture.
For six months in 1917 the gross
earnings OF the miners in these FIVE
mines were 1929 ,23s.60. For the same
six months of 1919 the gross earnings
jumped to $3.50 49757. In the former pc
riod the mine was worked 109 days and
in the latter period 1929 days. and the
average monthly earnings Of the miner
increased from SSl.46 10 Sl0S.59. This
average monthly wage includes trap
pers, boys and men who are unable to
perform full days work. and the
record further shows that the men in
these mines in 1919 worked but 62 per
cent Of the available time the mine
was in operation.
The figures also demonstrate that
the employees in the mine did not work
as well during the present year as they
did in 1917. for while they had been
given an increase of as per cent in
wages their average monthly earnings
showed an increase of only 33 per cent
And at the same time there was a gain
of more than 10 per cent in the time the
mine was in actual operation

Statistics. Of Closed Shops

The comparative statement was
taken at five mines where the closed
shop prevails. 1t makes a comparison
OF earnings and expenditures Of the
miners during the months of May, June,
July, August September and October
in 1917, six months prior to Che Wash
ington agreement when q As per cent
increase was given the miners, and the
same six months prior to the general
strike which became effective Novem-
Der /.
In this compilation Of figures a sur
prising feature to those unfamiliar
with the coal industry Is that the
miner has no rent problem. One of the
biggest factors in the cost Of living to
the residents OF cities and towns Is
rent. For occupancy of comfortable
home with a garden lot the miner is
paying the same rent that he paid
previous to the war. Throughout the
coal districts the average monthly rent
charged a miner for q dwelling is from
S1.50 to 50 room. A Rve-room
house will cost the miner maximum
Of $40 month. A similar house In
Charleston, for instance. would cost
the tenant from s25 to $50 q month.
From the rent account the operating
company does not receive 2 per cent
return on the Investment.

The Miners Lot
In West Virginia Coal Distric. Increased
Costs Of Living Touch Him Very Little

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Nov. 49,
Soaring prices, given as the cause Of
almost every demand by organized
labor for increased compensation, and
tho numerous strikes, authorized and
unauthorized. that follow, including the
recent walk-out Of the miners, has not
been as effective In elevating the cost
Of living to the miners of West Vir-
ginia as it has been in the general as
sault upon the mechanic, the bank
clerk, the carpenter, the preacher, the
laborer and the lawyer living in the
cities of the state.
Figures collated in mining COM
munity Of the Knnawha district, repre-
sentative Of the entire district, cover
ing period of two years, show that in
comparison with his larger earning
wages, the cost Of living to the aver
age miner has advanced but 28l per
cent since 1917.
While increased prices for food and
clothing have been general due to n
diminished production, the miner in
the producing fields of the state
has not felt the relentless upward
brand Of prices that has pinched the
pocketbook Of the city resident AL
though paying increased prices for
some commodities the miner has
escaped many other burdens that the
city dweller has been forced to count
against his earning capacity

Jeremiah Harter, who has resided
in the vicinity of Western Star for
forty years and who was well known
throughout that section, died Tuesday,
Feb. 25, at the age of so years, 6
months and II days. Death was due
to paralysis following a long period
Of i'll health.
A peculiar coincidence is the death
of Mr.. Harter's cousin and lifelong
friend, Jackson Hall, who died Feb.

and Mr.. Harter were close neighbors,
only one farm separating their homes.
They became members of the High

their membership there working to-
gether for the good of the cause un-
til the Lutheran congregation disband-

ferred his membership to Grace Lu-
theran church at this place.
Mr.. Harter was born in New Berlin,
Aug. IA, 1888, son Of Jesse and De-
borah Harter. He was baptized in
Zion's Lutheran church at that place
on Sept. 80, 1888, and was confirmed
May 20, 1854. He was married to
Harriet Schaar on Oct. 81, 1859. This
union was blessed with four sons, six
daughters. The mother died % years
ago.

The Artistry Of Being Well Dressed

and place must be given consideration,
for how absurd to wear dressy hat
with mannish walking costume. If
the hat is dressy the suit or coat must
be dressy and the shoes must be of
rather dainty last. If one does not
properly complement the other, the
entire costume is a failure, even
though each part in itself is pleasing,
The discordant combination has dis
tasteful effect.
Quantity Small. But Quality Excellent
Perhaps the biggest factor in the
development of a perfect costume is
the material The material must he
good, for though the lines be perfect
and the fit above the slightest criti-
cism, if the material is of inferior
quality the time and labor have been
spent in vain. An expensive material
will outlast the cheaper material and
always is a mark of good taste. The
present modes require very little ma
terial and for that very reason every
one ought to exert extensive efforts to
buy the best material.
Affairs are gradually becoming nor
NAL and very soon the market will
