 Let us win West Virginia back to America
 Additional charges have been made by certain agencies throughout the country that the marchers have footed stores for food supplies and that in addition they have committed various other depredations. As a matter of fact, I talked to practically all of the merchants between the each and every one of them are will ing to testify that they have not been molested in the slightest degree by any of the marchers who went through their town, but that to the contrary business men state that the marchers come into their stores to get their food, clothing and shoes and pay for them as they get them.
 Governor Held Responsible < 4The responsibility for the bad state of affairs In West Virginia must of necessity rest updn the governor of this state. He has been calling for recruits for the past number of weeks to assist him in suppressing this alleged lawlessness, but up to date, despite all of his pleas, he has not been able to muster sufficient number of citizens of this great state to make up a corporaPs guard to go out and defend his policies.
 Federal troops are now on their way into the state. The citizens Of the state of West Virginia who are on the fighting front today defending their liberties against the onslaughts of men who are seeking to take them away from them, will undoubtedly re- spect the federal troops and the man date of our federal government Their coming will bring about peace in the disturbed area and that peace will continue to be here so long as federal Jurisdiction over the affected sections remains in effect.
 But what Is going to be done about the source of this evil? Who Is there in authority within the confines or this great commonwealth willing to stand up uike a great big, broad minded American citizen and seek to eradicate for all the sources of this great industrial conflict?
 Let us hope that when this situa- ton passes over and federal jurisdic- ton has been removed from West Vir- ginia that Governor Morgan will meet this situation by saying to the Felts agency and the non-union coal operators of this state: You must keep your Baldwin Felts deputies, gunmen and notorious guards out of the state.'
 Such an ultimatum. served by him upon these people, will have far reaching effect in restoring that measure of industrial tranquility wLich the Eaited Mine Workers be- lieve the citizens of West Virginia are entitled to receive

 GRADUAL MARKETING
 URGED BY SUMMERS
Rr sssocafed Press

Memphis, September 2,--Gradual marketing of cotton in the south joining cotton growers association and pooling their interests, was strongly recommended by Congress- man H. M. Summers of Texas, chair man of the cotton subcommittee of the House of Representatives agri- cultural committee, who held a con- ference with planters and business men here today.
 elt is most essential that the southern planters assume the right attitude on marketing the new crop" MT Summers said.
 Gradual marketing is favored by practically all large baa,kers and inS dustrial men from the CarolnaS south and west to the Texas cotton belt" he asserted.
 T have been all through the cot ton belt of the south from North and South Carolina. Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee" continued Mir, Sum- mers. and everybody agrees that this crop must be marketed gradual ly. Even considering the last years carry-over we will have the smallest amount of cotton the south has pro- duced for almost half a century"

 Thinks Conference Needed
 President Harding should summon operators and miners in West Vir- sinia to a conference AS the best means or restoring order, James Lord. president Of the mining de- partment or the American Federation or Labor, said today.
 am convinced" he added, that if President Harding would request the mine owners and the miners to confer with him, the parties so in- ytted would consider the summons equal to an order and would come together.
 "Once conference was opened 1t could not be closed without pro- gress toward agreement or without abatement of some of the most grevi- ous evils which have driven men des- perate in Mingo.
 The mine operators of Mingo to- day are in the position of derying q government order They have re- fused to apply the United States coal commission award of 1920 and that refusal is the cause Of the strike out of which the present deplorable sit- uation grew.
 The government has a duty to perform in view of the attitude of the operators toward the federal award
 An impartial investigation by the government Is timely. The situation IS one of common concern to tho whole country. The district can be pacified on the surface but it can never be brought into true co-opera- tion and good citizenship as a har- n.onious part of the state and coun- try until justice is done on the basis or finding of fact.
 President Harding has an oppor- Iunity to perform . constructive. helpful and just service by bringing together the opposing forces in West Virginia"

What Elected Curley.

The real reason for Mr.. Curley's sue
cess is not far to seek. His election
was general and vague protest
against the alleged domination of the
rich and of "big business against
good government" and law and
order" those. term having been used for
political advantages in recent years
against prohibition and other limita-
tions on individual rights, against
everything which could be taken to
indicate that the few were trying to
control the many.
There is no other adequate explana-
ton of the current which became
strong enough to break away from the
leaders who have controlled it forimany
years. Mr.. Curley's effective campaign
both on the stump and through his
method of obtaining signed promises
TO vote for him, accomplished good
deal, but il does not account for the
surprising overturn in last Tuesdays
election. The trend which reelected
Mayor Hylan in New York, although
not so pronounced in Boston. existed
here and was sufficient TO defeat Mr.
Murphy in spite of the fact that not a
word was spoken in adverse criticism
of his public or private record.--John
ID. Merrill in Boston Globe.
