frightened face up through the engine
room hatch, but at sight OF the battle
royal taking place on the deck aft,
his blood turned TO water and he
thought only OF escape. To climb up
to the bulkhead without being seen
was impossible. however. so. not
knowing what else TO do. he stood on
the iron ladder and gaZed, pop-eyed
with horror, at the unequal contest.
Backward and forward the tide OF
battle surged. For nearly three min
utes all Scraggs saw was an indis-
tinct tangle OF legs and arms; then
suddenly the combatants disengaged
themselves and Scraggs beheld Mr..
GIbney prone upon the deck with a
cory face upturned 10 the foggy skies.
When he esSayed TO rise and continue
the contest, Flaherty kicked him In
the ribs and Hicks cursed him; so
Mr.. Glbney. realizing that all was
over. beat the deck with his hand In

I Charleston on night train, He
availed himself of the knowledge by
telling the men back Of the move
ment" that they must dispense their
followers or suffer the pains and
penalties which martial law inficts
upon the leaders Of insurrection.
The Ledger's questions are futile
the answer is SO plain. But our con-
temporary probably knew the ans
wer to its own questions. At any
rate, it further remarks:
If the directing brains are
irresponsible radicals they
should be seized and placed
where they will lead no more
revolts. Il they are union or
GAMERS or union officials, they
should have the same swift and
summary treatment. If union
labor has involved itself to this
extent, it must answer to the
charge Of revolt and rebellion.
Under our political practice the
feasibility Of following the Public
Ledger's suggestion seems a Ques-
tionable matter. That it remains
questionable is the most battling
and disheartening basic difficulty OF
the situation in vest Virginia.
Civil government is being tested
even as it is being challenged?

A BREEDING PLACE FOR LAW
EScNESS

(From Huntington Herald-D:spatch)
In the pest The Herald Dispatch
has been proud to eXtol the virtues
of the men and women Of Kanawha
county; men and women who have
stood for progress and shown them
selves alive to civic righteousness.
There are many such there t0dav.
and again and proudly, The Herald
Dispatch eHtols them
Nevertheless, The Herald-Dis-
patch has something to say to the
good people of Kanawha county.
The movement against current law
lessness there is timey But the law
lessness itself is not a sporadic nan
Hesitation. 1t is chronic. 1t is true
that it has spread into new quart
ers and taken on forms with which
many Of the good citizens OF the
county were until recently wholly
unacquainted But the seed was
soWn years ago and has been re-
produced season after season in
such manifestations Of laWIessne5s
rs came to an end yesterday when
Mr.. c. f. Keeney, having marched
his men I'm the hill, duplicated the
classic music performance OF the
King Of France, and babe them
march down again
For five times within two years
there have been modified within
the borders of Kanawha county
bands Of armed men, carrying rifles,
shot guns and revolvers, whose lea
ders on each Of these several oc-
casions have declared it to be their
purpose to march through and aga
inst other counties and the peopla
residing in invaded territories. If
not indifferent to these aspirings.
the officials OF Kanawha county have
assumed an attitude Of helplassness
that bat poorly COMFORTS with dill
gence and firmness in executing the
laws.
Time after time these embryonic
Instructions have shown them
selves in Kanawha county. Logan
county, in which there has been no
labor strife in fifteen years, has
been an objective Of the instruction
and has been compelled 10 snare an
odium which has belonged wholly
to Kan2wha. In the press stories of
KanaWha's periodic and almost per-
ennial instructions the names of
LOGAN and Mingo counties, as OBJ
iectives, have been given even great
er prominence than the name Of
Kanawha, notwithstanding these
counties have been prYoly en-
defensive, and aggression directed
wholly from kanawha.
The HeraldDspatch believes the
time has come when roithc-
eXigencies of politics nor the urge
OF timidity should stand in the way
Of a fearless enforcement of the
law. 1t is up to the officials of the
