GOV. CORNWELL
HITS BOLSHEVISNI

West Virginia's Governor is proving
himself to be real statesman. He
displays the courage that is SO badly
needed at the present time. Read what
he says:
Charleston, w. Va Replying to a
communication from the Federation Of
Railway Employees of the Chesapeake
system of Huntington. signed by e. T..
Brennan, president, and j. H. Williams,
secretary, in which they criticized his
recent statement opposing the Plumb
plan of government ownership of
railroads, Governor Cornwell declared.

nor fair"
"To me-" the Governor said. lit is
| little short OF amazing that men pos
sessing the intelligence Of the train
men l meet should be guiled into maxi
| ing such an unreasonable and out
rageous demand.
IF the public bought the railroads
and gave them to you to operate for
your benefit, telephone and telegraph
employees would demand the same
thing of those properties. They have
as much right to it as you have. Coal
miners would demand that the mines
| be purchased and given to them. and
they have as much right to make that
demand as you.
Farm laborers, with better right,
would say: We produced the food
you live on-buy the farms and give
them to us Then we have, not So
cialism, but chaos.
"Of course, regret that my fellow.
citizens should disagree with or feel
laggrieved with me because of my
i views upon public questions, but that
can not deter me from having and
lexercising the same freedom of opin--
ion that you have.

STRIKES J.
ARE CONDEMNED BY
PUBLIC SENTIMENT

"A strike involving public utilities
should be made illegal. with heavy
penalties attached" is the opinion we
have heard expressed by very con-
servative man. He argues that men
put themselves in the class of high
waymen when they stop all kinds Of
business and threaten to starve the
people OF some isolated sections to
death in order to get more money. He
says the use of this kind of force to
get money is exactly the same per-
formance, in principle, as the man
gives when he presents a gun and de-
mands your money or your life."
The present strike of railroad shop
nen, resulting in the stopping of trains
and the paralysis of business, called
forth the sentiments expressed above
and we have quoted them to show the
trend of public sentiment
The public pays the cost of strikes.
The great masses of the people are the
sufferers and it Is Unreasonable to ex-
pect them to sympathize with a thing
that increases their burdens needless
ly.
The present scarcity Of sugar is al
most entirely due to a strike of marine
workers which has stopped the ship

producing ctnters &c the refineries OF
the United States. This sugar famine
