it. That statement, backed by the
physical courage of the man, by the
deep-seated bitterness and resent
ment written on his face, called for
an emphatic response. 1t was to the
effect that he must neither go or
send any men into Mingo county;
that state police were on the ground
and they would be given orders to
arrest him or them IL they went in
there, as such steps meant whole
sale bloodshed. He was reminded
that the Mingo men could be indict-
ed and tried only in Mingo county
by Mingo county officials and a
Mingo jury, and that such arrests
even IL made without bloodshed,
would avail nothing. Silently and
sternly he listened to the warning.
After telling me that Sid Hatfield
and Mayor Testerman's widow were
at that moment registered as man
and wife, under assumed names, at
a Huntington hotel, a statement l
did not take seriously, he started to
leave the office AS he passed out
once more he was solemnly warned
that no attempt on his part to go to
Matewan to make arrests would be
tolerated, Again there was no re
sponse. So steps were promptly tax
en- to meet any emergency. However
later in the day he called on the
telephone to say that he was going
to Huntington, but did not 90 or

Of sid" and Mrs. FISHERMAN Ar
raigned next morning sid was dis
charged on the charge of carrying
a gun as he was a Mingo county Of
ficer, and other charges were dis

Of the pair. Recently sid" was ac-

trial lasting several weeks and
went back to Matewan more popu-
lar than ever, sort OF hero. One
can imagine the feeling of Tom
Felts and his men and of the kin
of those who were killed at Mate
wan.
In view Of the foregoing when
Sid was taken to Mcdowell coun-
ty, where Felts' employees are dep
uty sheriffs, what might have been
expected? Certainly Governor Nor
gan had been unable to guage the
temper of the men on both sides or
he would have sent state police
there to see that nothing unseemly
happened. 1t is true the sheriff of
Mcdowell is a Hatfield and an eff
cient officer, who could be relied
upon to do his duty, but state pol
ice from a different section, with
no kinship and no sympathies with
either side, representing the state
and the state alone, would have
given added security against a trag
edy. The governor had faith in the
sheriff and denied the request of
"Sid's" friends for protection. The
news columns tell what happened.
Sid Hatfield and Ed Chambers, his
friend and a sort of body-guard
are dead, the state is again scan
dalized and advertised to the world
as unfit for self-government and
fuel is added to the fires that are
far from burned out.
What a calamity to West Vir-
ginia that it has to suffer and en-
dure such conditions and suffer
from such primitive methods OF
settling differences.

Throughout the nation there is
much present uneasiness and much
apprehension for the future; the rea-

More than two years ago world
peace was made at Versailles, but for
partisan political reasons this nation
is not yet at peace with the enemy

trata Taxation and governmental
expenditures are at the maximum in
our history. The tremendous per-
centage Of idleness in the ranks OF
labor is almost unprecedented.
For more than two years the re-
publican party has been in charge
of the legislative branch of the gov
ernment; for four months ii has been
in actual charge of all departments
of the government. but it has not
remedied nor alleviated these condi-
tions. and, so far. has failed of any
material accomplishment. The peo-
pie are losing confidence in the abil-
ity of the present national admins
tration to provide adequate remedies
for the conditions described.
During the period Of the republi-
can party's return to power, the dem
ocratic party's attitude toward Its op-
ponent has been constructive. not OBJ
structiye; helpful. not hurtful, and 1t
has given the party in power fair
