New Years, Independence day,
Thanksgiving and Christmas, On
these days business closes down al
most entirely and a great majority
of all the workers get rest. Labor
day ranks next as a rest producer.
The other legal holidaSs-Lincoln'
birthday, Washington's birthday,
Memorial day, Columbus day and
the various election and primary
days--do not stop business; they
merely cripple it. The banks and
the government Offices are closed
whereas trade and industry limp
along under this serious handicap,
nobody getting a rest except en-
ployes Of banks and persons whose
salaries are paid out of the public
taxes. 1t is perhaps sign OF great
amiability on the part of the people
as a whole thus to submit to having
their own work made harder and
less productive on certain days of
the year in order that a few favored
workers may go away and play, but

UNUSUAL KINDNESS

We are unable to see where those
affected by the states warning aga
inst gambling. slot machines and
punehboards can have anything but
kindly feeling for the officers who
have warned them OF their danger
in such practices. Ordinarily there
would have been a swoop upon the
alleged violators and even then
there could have been no complaint
because all know their danger; but
to add to this general warning the
specific warning that a raid is i'm
pending is kindness In the extreme.
We do not question the wisdom of it :;
SO long as they discontinue their
work, there will be no complaint az
to means employed in stopping the
violation. In respect to these partic-
Glar gaming devices Martinsburg
has gained a reputation for being
wide open "a reputation which is
not enviable by any means. We are
confident the officers will find a
hearty support for their efforts to
break UP the work

Its influence upon the public is all
good. Without the application of

the more fruitful because it is root

people.
The Post is well convinced that of

While walking along the street at
Little Washington, Pa, talking
with another man, Walter Millers
aged 81, was suddenly fred upon by
three men and fell wounded in the
abdomen. He was rushed to the
Winchester Hospital and operated
on. Although dangerously wounded
it is believed he will recover. There
is no reason why the men should
have been shot and there was no
enmity between him and the three
men, said to be Miller Sisk, Her.

COMMENT OVER
WEST VIRGINIA
REPEATING A BAD STATUTE.
from The Charleston MaiD


The repeal Of the statute enacted
in 1916 which tied the hands OF the
governor Of the state in the matter
OF dismissing appointiye officers Of
the state has been repealed by the
house Of delegates by unanimous
vote.
The placing OF such measure up
on the statute books was piece Of
legislative pettiness and foolishness.
1t was rank craftsmanship which in
duced it, one of those acts Of legis-
lation, which enacted for partisan
ends purely, goes counter to the
public good.
There has been too much OF such
legislation in the past, the good of
the state, which is always first, de-
mands first consideration. 1t is self
evident that what is right for one
party is equally right for the other
party.

While the Building and Loan AS
ISOLATION idea is attractive to all
people, it should be particularly at
tractiye to the man whose income is
somewhat limited and is made upon
the basis OF his daily labor; and
for that reason we believe the B. &
l., committee is doing the right
thing in taking the plan directly to
the employees OF the mills who eau
benefit by it. Many of these people
labor along, by necessity, for years
and years, saving very slowly for
their homes late in life; and the

to have no officer than to have an

be competition for the man who is

"CHARLES TOWN" AND
"CHARLES CITY,

In another column is printed a
news item telling OF a proposal in
the legislature to change by statute
the name OF "Charles Town" to
Charles City" because OF the con-
fusion resulting from the similarity
between that name and the name Of
Charleston which lies on the OPP
posite end of the state. There is, it
must be admitted, much confusion;
during the past two weeks there has
been, for instance, much news COM
ing ost of Jefferson county which
was carried theoretically in the pa
pers under the dateline of "Charles
Town." but we know by actual count
that fully half OF it appeared with
the dateline OF "Charleston. Mail
naturally suffers the same errors,
as do shipments Of express and
freight However Charles Town"
has a history about it which does
not deserve to be discarded merely
because Of similarity Of names;
Charles Town" was in the field
first and is hardly to be asked now
TO change its color. Those who know
Charles Town with all its rich tradi-
lions Will stand firm against any
move to alter its name. More care
in the handling OF mail and express
and news will minimize the Confus-
ion, and we have no reason to be-
lieye that it is anything more than
this annoyance which gives rise to
the suggestion for a change.

To most persons the fake con
fession OF Harris in the Elwell muir
der mystery is simply Incompetent
sble. The ordinary indiy dual values
his life too highly to jeopardize it
by taking" any story which would
draw the author into a plot where
perhaps death awaits the guilty
murderer. Harris claims that he did
1t to test his wife; but it might
have turned out that death would
make it possible for him to see the
effect upon his wife. There can be
no sufficient justification for such
action. in the opinion Of the lay
man: and this same layman would
hold that it would be useless to be
an extraordinary man IL such a
condition meant endangering ones
