FOR reasons which in the eyes OF
the temperance peop,e are slngularly
triHing, President Wilson vetoed the
bill in which provisions are made for
enforcing the prohibition amendment
and strengthening wartime prohloi-
ton. Both houses of Congress prompt
" passed the measure over his Veto
and happily it is now the law of the
land.
The Presidents attitude upon the
temperance question is most peculiar.
WE take the liberty OF suggesting
10 all of the former residents OF Shep-
hCrdstown and Jefferson county VINO
are now living in Hagerstown or Wash
ington county, Md, that, regardless OF
party affiliation, they exhibit home
pride and spirit and vote for our
former fellow townsTan, Thomas L.
Richard, for county commissioner at
the coming election. Mr.. Richard is a
candidate on the Democrat ticket, but
he is no such partisan that the best OF
Republicans need hesitate to vote for
him. 1t will be graceful thing for
former Virginians to give him their
support next Tuesday, and we hope to
hear of his election. There is no dis
pute as to his ability TO fill the Office
satisfactorily if he shall be elected.
Vote for Tom Richard!

All attempts to get the bituminous
coal miners to modify sixty per cent
increase in wages, working day OF
Sax hours, FIVE days only in week,
v 18th time and a-half for over time
and double time for Sundays-failed
at the conference in Washington last
week. The efforts of President Wilson
son and Secretary of Labor Wilson
were of no avail so far as arbitration
or mediation were concerned, and the
parley broke up. The union miners,
under the leadership of John L. Lewis,
president of their organization, an
nounce that they will certainly go on
strike on November LIST, and if their
usual methods are followed they will
not only quit work themselves, but will
keep anybody else from digging coal
if they can possibly prevent il.
If the miners 60 out on strike, as they
probably will, the government should
act promptly and firmly. 1t should
take over the mines and operate them
and keep up production if it takes the
entire army to protect those who are
willing to work. The battle may as
we'll be fought out now as at any
other time, and the radicals-mostly
foregners-whoa are bringing about
the strike should be taught a stern
lesson. The people Of this country
will not be satisfied to yield further in
this matter. They invoke the power OF
the government to protect them.

THE counsel of the prudent has
been brought to nought, and the con-
ference in Washington which had been
called in the hope that industrial strife
might be averted adjourned without
accomplishing anything. From his
sick bed President Wilson made
strong plea for mutual concessions,
but to no avail. Three groups of
men participated in the conference
one representing capital and another
labor, while a third group was COM
posed of public men not directly in
terested in the two former classes.
Nothing seemd to affect the stubborn
ness of the labor leaders, and when
they were outvoted they simply quit
the conference, with implied threats
that they would get by force what they
were unable to secure by other means.
The intimation is given out that the
striking iron and steel workers and the
miners who intend TO go out will be
backed up by all the other unions at
filiated with the American Federation
of Labor, including the four big rail-
road unions.
BY united action the industrial
unions that compose the American
Federation Of Labor can bring great
trouble and loss and even disaster to
this country, but they cannot force the
balance of the people to yield to their
unreasonable demands. The autocracy
of labor cannot win any more than
the autocracy Of German militarism
could prevail. The Kaiser has seen
his dream of world empire fade away,
and the laboring men Of this country
cannot climb into undisputed power
by ruthlessly disregarding the rights
OF others. Underneath anything that
shall endure must be a foundation OF
justice AID fairness. The laboring
men of this country, blindly following
unwise leaders and trusting in fal-
lacious arguments, are building 6
tower OF Babel which will bring to
them ultimate and inevitable confu-
sion, when their last state will be
worse than their first.

many of the men had to ride all the
way from Culpeppcr to Richmond on
open platform cars through snow
storm, without either shoes or blan-
kets and the effects are beginning
plainly to be seen 1 wrote you in my
last letter that we were going to
Tarboro. We went there but only
remained one day when we were or
dered to this place, which is one Of
the poorest and most out of the way
places that you ever saw. I am be-
ginning to think that we have at last
found our winter quarters as we are
beginning to receive TENS, Evans has
all the time been anxious to have COM
mand of a division, and l think that
was the reason he wished to 20 to
South Carolina as he would have been
the Senior Brigadier there which
would, but as he has command of
5 900 troops and this position of North
Carolina he is satisfied and we are
very apt to remain here during the
winter. There are said to be $4,000
Yankees at Newbern. They made a
slight demonstration about eleven
miles below us daybcfore yesterday,
but caused us no more harm than the
loDs of position Of one nights rest,
| think that fight is expected as one
! IS allowed to leave camp and we are
ordered to be ready to move ct mo-
ments warning. Our pickcting here
is pretty hard as it takes a Rcgt. and
company at a time: one position
nlckets five and the other eleven miles
from camp.
My company is quite small at this
time numbering only 80 with me, you
write me that there are 25 or 80 at
home am inclined to think that out
OF that number there must be some fit
for duty, would be glad if you could
louehs, have heard that they were
at home and it is strange that they
should be furloughed, when I have
received a notice from the Surgeon
who had charge Of them. that they
were discharged from the hospital
and ordered to report for duty. Please
see what you can do about Mr.. Shep-
herd, | think he ought to be dis
charged:
The management of affairs in the
Regt. is not much better than when
wrote you last, / look forward with
great joy to the time when you will
be able to be with us and put things
to rights.
