MOTHERS DAY, SUNDAY, MAY s.

Sunday, May S, is Mothers Day"
This is the day we all will keep
sacred to the woman who has kept
watch over you during sickness and
in health; who has prayed for you
when at home and away; who has
crept into your room in the stiffness
Of the cold winter night to see if
the blankets were tucked snugly:
the one who has tried to make life
happy for you-mother!
The pure white flower you wear in
the lapel Of your coat tomorrow is
an attest Of your devotion to her.

ABOLISH THE CAUSE.
(From The Wheeling lnteiIisencer)
The activities Of several thou
sand armed miners in the southern
coal district Of this state are utter
ly lawless and to be deplored, 1t
is impossible to overlook or extenu-
ate the fact that the present condi'
ton has been brought about by a
policy followed for many years past.
There has been contempt of law
and authority by both sides. The
fact that employers have violated
the Jaw does not, of course, justify
violations by the miners. Two
wrongs do not make a right.
Here is one thought for American
citizens: If men who have prop
erty, education and opportunity to
enjoy the better things of life break
the law and prostitute justice, they
can be reasonably certain that men
less fortunate and who have been
denied opportunity for education.
culture and enjoyment of life will
be quick to follow their example.
In a republic. self government by
all the people is the essence OF CON
tinuance and stability. Respect for
the law and constituted authority
are the basis of organized society
among free people. Whenever any
body OF men claim the right-as
certain employers Of labor in this
state have done-to employ preda-
tory bands of private gunner and
use them for lawless purposes,
their acts will result in just such
demonstrations as that now occur
ring in southern West Virginia.
The cure is a thorough and vigor-
Gus assertion Of authority by the
governor-the wiping out Of the de-
spicable private detective system
and substition therefor of an effec-
tive assertion of local and state au-
thority. In no county In West Vir-
ginia has the citizenship sunk so
low that 1t will not protect life and
property If an appeal Is made to it,
Today there is no need of military
forces in Mingo or other counties if
those who should set the example
take the leadership in tn eenforce,
ment of lawful processes.

THE MARCH TOWARD MiNGO.
(From The Charleston Mail.)

Reports early this morning indi-
Gated that the miners who had gath
cred in large force on Lens creek
enar Marmet have moved ON to-
ward Logan and Mingo counties.
Although a large number of these
men are armed with pistols and
high powered rifles, the march is
described as being for peaceful
purposes. In numbers and in arma-
ment, this is a most remarkable
missionary movement whose object
is peaceful demonstration.
However, all know that there is
a good deal of animus at the bottom
of the movement. The miners who
are marching from one county into
two others are union miners. In
being union miners, they are exer-
cising their rights under the consti-
tuition. The miners Of the two coun-
ties proposed to be invaded are non
union miners. In being non-union
miners they also are enjoying their
rights under the constitution.
Each of these two parties are I'M
der the constitution and under the
constitution must have their rights
Martinsburg journal. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1920-1977, 1921-08-27

protected by the constitution. II
the non-union miners Of Logan and
Mingo counties march into Kama
wha, Fayette or Raleigh counties
and by force or terror or intimida-
ton break up the union organiza-
tons there existing, the state would
be compelled to prevent any such
invasion of the rights of the union
miners in those counties. By the
same token and for exactly the
same reason, the state must protect
the non-union miners. We all live
under one law.
The question whether or not the
non-union miners of Logan and
Mingo should become union miners,
or whether the union miners of
other counties should become non
union, does not enter into the ques-
ton at all. The question is whether
all men have the right under the
guarantee of the constitution to
choose for themselves. The ques.
ton as to which may be better
does not enter into the controversy
at all.
1t is sincerely hoped that the
demonstration undertaken by the
marching miners is indeed a
peaceful" one; that no excuses
will be committed; that they will
not, in sudden anger, refuse to hear
the voice OF the state; and that no
one will be injured in body, whe-
Their union or non-union miner or

MOE LAW IN MASSACHUSETTS.
From The Ear1nsifira GeVieuJA

Less than four years ago the Gov
ernor Of West Virginia made requis-
ition upon the Governor of Massa-
chusetts for the return to this State
for trial Of John Johnson, cOlored
man and politician, charged with Il
heinous crime in the capital city of
the State. The Governor of Massa-
chusetts refused the requisition on
the ground that the people of Char
lesion would mob Johnson and that
the State would be pOwerless to
protect him He read our State and
people a caustic letter on mob-law
and race prejudice and Rugged tho
Bay State.
Now, there had been no nantes
tation of race prejudice, in West
Virginia. When John Johns0n's ac-
completes were tried there was no
mob, no excitement, no notice taken
Of an incident that should have
aroused public Indignation. About
the same time a colored man was
placed on trial for rape Of white
woman in our neighbor county of
Morgan, A Democratic Governor
furnished protection, there was no
mob attack, the man was convicted
and executed in an orderly manner.
But, up in Massachusetts, at
Barnstable, where the Puritan
fathers first took root in New Eng
land soil, they had a mob last week
bent upon lynching three colored
men charged with a criminal assault
upon white woman. 1t was neces.
sary to call out the State troops to
prevent triple lynching. Prompt
action prevented three colored men
from becoming the victims of race
prejudice in the commonwealth
which has been most critical of the
South because of outbreaks against
the colored people in past years.
All of which goes to show that

Dear Editor:
Permit me space for a few
words.
We are having plenty of rain
here. The winter has been very
mild, with the exception of 2 or
3 days. We haven't had any
snow here
This is a very beautiful count
ry, but it dosen't seem right TO
a Jackson countain to be in a
place where he has no hills to
climb or gulleys to jump.
Have met with a few teachers
from Jackson county since
came here and a number from
Overton and Putnam counties.
In fact on pay day it seemed
very much like being at home
and seeing the teachers come to-
gether.
Miss Ruth Pigg of Overton
county is my assistant.
There are only seven grades
included in the elementary course
of study in this state, but teach.
ers must be qualified to give in.
struction in the Sth and 9th

Would like to hear from some
