WEST VIRGINIA FAIRS.
(HopfriiatI%eIl

Wonderful progress of West Vir.
ginia will be shown at the different
fairs throughout the state this fall.
The great strides that have been
made in every lire of human en-
deavor by the citizens OF West Vir'
ginia during the past will be shown
at the different county fairs COM
mencing the middle of August and
lasting ten weeks. Elaborate pre-
OFT fear CT contradiction that no lair
mimums have been fiXeu and with
except the larger state fairs will
equal the ones to be held in some
of the counties of this state. 1t will
attract thousands Of visitors from
West Virginia, and from other
states who will there learn Of West
NiTginias greatness in agriculture
and industry. Visitors will go away
impressed with the opportunities for
development in West Virginia. Tie
entire agricultural and industrial
fabric Of our commonwealth will be
strengthened by the addition of new
citizens, new industries and new
capital Not merely in the looking
back attitude should these fair OBJ
serVances be undertaken. We view
N~Sst Virginia today in her youth
not in her age CT century She
stands on the threshold of an era
of development, infinite possibilities
stretching out before her. West Vir-
ginia fairs will suggest this feature
as well as survey her past. To re
view the history and achievements of
the past, to do honor to those men
and women who laid the foundation
of the states greatness and to reveal
the possibilities of a greater West
Virginia, these are the objects OF
the fairs of West Virginia.

selves and to put their country on
its feet. The English miners start
ed out to destroy the properties,
upon which their subsistence de-
ponds. That is how the govern
ment got into the game. They
wind up by abandoning their de-
mand for the naturalization Of the
mines. 1t is true the owners agree
to certain division Of the profits,
when there are any, but these con-
cessions would have been made in
the beginning. 1t may be said, there
fore, that nothing has been gained
by the long period Of idleness, which
has reduced the workers almost to
starvation, damaged the mining
properties, cost the owner huge
sums of money and crippled serious
ly English trade.
Certainly we have reached the
time when differences over wages
and working conditions can be set
tied amicably Employers can not
face and resist public sentiment
when they are in the wrong Neither
kcan employees. There should al
ways DG d COtuIIIOI SlOuuu upOh
which both can stand.
The English strike was semi-po-
litical, revolutionary, in that it was
intended to force the government to
acquire the mines, pool the profits
and pay standardized wage,
whether there were profits or loss
es in the industry as a whole. The
English people would not stand for
that Neither will the American
people. Those extremist leaders
who formulate radical and rey1lu-
tionary propositions which they put
over in conventions of their organ
izations, are simply paving the way
for trouble, for tremendous loss to
their members, if strikes are to be
called to enforce these demands. 1t
is time for the individual union
members to take charge Of their
organizations and free themselves
from domination by extreme leaders
Capital has had it's lesson. Tho
American people are supreme. They
put capital in shackles. They will
do the same to any other group that
seeks the impossible and the improp-
er thing.

WARDEN AND AL DID ALL
THAT WAS REQUIRED OF
THEM.
lFrom the CharIsston MaIIO

From the Charleston Mail)
West Virginia has had one hun
ger striker and the case was dealt
with sanely and sensibly. The man
had been convicted of murder in the
first degree. Immediately upon his
conviction, he refused to cat after
a life sentence had been imposed
The object of course, was to force
the state to release him from pris-
on.
But the plan did not work. Every
legitimate effort was made to in
duce him to take nourishment, but
there does not appear 10 have been
any compulsory means employed.
Nor should there have been. Surely
a man has a right to cat or not to
eat, according to his desires. That
much of personal liberty certainly is
lett to mortal5.
A great deal of moulding stuff
has been written about the hunger
strikers and some minds get more or
less daft over the if-punishment
some persons inflicted on them
selves in order to force a default in
justice. In fact, hunger strikers
have at times bulldozed public au-
thority and escaped the just measure
OF their oienses. This was all be-
cause the device was new and scnsa-
tional. But we have grown wiser,
or at least common sense has had
an opportunity to reassert itself.
The law is not TO be cheated by the
criminal preying on the sensibilitics
of the emotional.

himself to death this Moundsville

batable question. What is life I'M
