On the editorial page of 1.-The
Toiler," a radical publication
gotten out Of the Communist
Party of America, there occurred
in a recent issue the following
paragraphs:
"In West Virginia hereafter
when an industrial fight is on
between the bosses, and the
workers in the courts, no union
man will be allowed to sit on the
Jury, according to recent law
passed in that state"
"When the miners went on
strike an injunction was issued
against the leaders demanding
that they force the miners back
to work, and their money was
tied up by the court so they
could not get strike benefits"
"The Toiler" is published in
Cleveland Ohio. The editor and
assistants evidently do not know
what they are talking about
when they publish such diabolic-
al lies as is given in the above
quotations. There is not a word
of truth in the statements.
Every loyal West Virginian
resents such is representations.
The workmen of West Virginia
know that these things are not
true. The officials of West Vir-
ginia as whole have as high a
regard for law and the enforce
ment of the same as the officials
in any state in the Union. 1t is
high time that those of us who
are true West Virginians take
those o fus who are true West
Virginians take some steps to
prevent the adverse advertising
our state is getting all over the
country.

A SERMONETTE


(By CASTOR R. Coyner)
Remember the sabbath day, to
keep it holy EXODUS 20: 8.
Where do you go on Sunday, friend,
To Sabbth-school or church
Or do you then the Lord offend,
And stay where evil turks
God gave the seventh day for rest,
To man the beast of earth;
Twas He who knoweth all things best,
And gave all creatures birth.
The Sabbath day lifts weary hearts,
And fits us for the week;
To each of us it strength imparts,
If love Of God we seek.
The laws which some are calling blue,
Are blessings sent from God;
No ones compelled a thing to do.
Nor driven with rod.
But when Gods day we desecrate,
By filling it with sin,
It's then high time before it's late,
That proper laws begin.
Why not obey the all wise God,
Who knoweth what is best;
And at all times His laws regard,
And by His hand be blest.
If in our hearts we've love of Christ,
The Sabbath day we'll keep,
And honor Him who paid the price,
For us in sin 50 deep.

as bulwark in the sea, protection
to the German fisheries, central
point for my ships of war. place
and harbor of safety on the Ger
man ocean against all enemies who
may dare to show themselves upon
it,"
A Few Inaccuracies
To be sure, this speech contained
an inaccuracy or two. For one
thing, Helgoland, never having be-
longed to Germany before, could
not exactly be "reincorporated. ;"
Further, Wilhelm, running true to
form, claimed. implicitly at least.
all credit for the acquisition of the
island. although as matter Of fact
the scheme originated at least half
a century earlier in the brain which
conceived almost all ideas Of impe-
rial German craftsmanship. that
were worth the candle-that of Bis
marck.
AS far back as 1866 Lord Palmers-
ton, who knew what he was talking
about, declared that Prussia's real
object in wrestling Slesvig and Hol-
stein from Denmark was to build a
canal across the latter duchy from
the North Sea to the Baltic. But
this object could not be attained as
long as Helgoland, commanding the
western entrance to such a canal,
remained in the hands Of the Brit
sh.
The first advances toward the ac-
quisition of Helgoland were made
by Bismarck in 1888, when he sent
the German Ambassador in Lon
don. Prince Munster. to the then
Foreign Secretary, Lord Granville,
with confidential offer to buy the
island. The prince said that the
cession of Helgoland would strength
en- the good feeling of Germany
toward England to an extraordinary
degree! To which Lord Granville
aptly Aetorted that the cession of
Gibraltar to Spain would strengthen
tremendously the good feeling of
that country toward England. The
offer was gently refused.
Prince Minister repeated the at
tempt twice, first in the same year
and two years later, in 1885. Then
Lord Granville, as he writes in his
memoirs, consulted the War Office
and the Admiralty as to the advan-
tages Of Helgoland from the Brit
ish point of view

NNE of the things slowly learned
at auction is the varying
value Of a ruff. No mistake
is more common among beginners
than thinking that Short suit adds
to the value of their hand for bid
ding purposes. Every one has heard
at some time or other the excuse,
after contract has gone down for
two or three hundred: "Well, ! had
six trumps and singleton"
It cannot be too strongly i'm
pressed on the person who is ambi-
tious to become fine player that
one cannot count trumps as good for
tricks and then count rufing as
well, because that is counting the
same thing twice over. It has re-
peatedly been pointed out that the
six highest trunps in the pack are
good for exactly six tricks, no mat
ter what is done with them.
In Article No q we gave a table
of the average value of dunn1y's
trumps, and among the items special
attention was called to the impor-
tance Of dummy's being able to ruff
the first or second round of a suit !;
the ability to ruff both rounds, hold
ing at least four small trumps, be-
ing equal to an ace-king suit.
The reason dumry's trumps are
valuable is because they can be used
separately from the declarefs. If
they cannot be so used they are of
no value whatever, unless they are
the tops and will win tricks in
trumps that the declarer rather ex-
pected to lose. Any player who as
sists his partner just because he has
hve small trumps, when he cannot
run anything until the third round
and has no winning cards in plain
quits, shows at once that he knows
Sothing about trump values.
This gives US the general rule
vet the declarer should never count
.s. II he already has bid his
hand to its full value for the trumps
IT contains nothing is added to that
value by putting the trumps to a
different use from that expected
Snen the bid was made. A. player
Snth six spades to the ace-king-
s2nea expects to win six tricks bv
exhausting his adversaries with his
high ones. Then the smaller ones
will be as good as aces, VIII h-ther thev
arc led as winners or used for ruffino,
There is another player who can
ncver count on tricks to be made
by ruMag, although he may have
hopes, and that is the player who is
cpposcd 70 the declaration. He may
&c short in suit that he can ruff.
but there 10 10 certainty that he Will
New-York tribune., 1921-01-23

get in the ruff before his small
trumps are drawn. The only plausi-
BILE basis for counting on a ruff is
when one is short in the suit called
by the partner. 1t looks easy to say,
"lf my partner has ace-king of that
suit can ruff the third round, and
then my outside ace sets the con-
tract"
The player who would double a
four-heart bid on those grounds
would be considered foolish, unless
he was sure his partner held both
ace and king, and also that the suit
would go round three times so that
ne would not be -trumped. His
partner may bid on king-queen-iack
and others and lose the first trick
to the ace. Then the trumps are
drawn and the small losing cards
of that suit discarded on winning
cards of some other suit, so that the
player who bid to make four gets in
little slam. This would prove an
expensive double for the player who
was counting on rufing.
Here is hand in which the player
who held BIS cards made the mistake
of counting singleton as valuable
and overbid his hand; while at an
other table the player who held the
same cards, it being a duplicate
match, did not make as much as he
might have made simply because
ne could not depend on getting the
ruffs that he actually did get. This
