NAMING TIGERT AS

Kentucky Republican Leaders
Greatly Disappointed in
Harding's Choice.

WASHINGTON, May 2s.-Figura-
lively speaking, the republican lead
ers of Kentucky are trying TO find
the location Of the big Bertha"
that fired a resounding shot into
their midst a few days ago. After a
good deal Of investigation and patch

fired when the name of DR.. John j.

10 the senate for appointment as

appointment.
Who is DIR. Tigert?" they began
10 ask each other. and echo answer

doctor had never been conspicuous
on the political firing line. They had
never heard Of him rustling around
and scraping up votes for the repub-
lican party and what the republican
party in Kentucky needs first. last
and all the time is votes. For all
they knew, he might be Il democrat.
or worse still. a prohibitionist.
What distressed the Kentucky
politicians the most was that when

The New and Better Way

just West Virginia is in the lime light. She is
experiencing something which Colorado experienced
eral when mineowners and workers tried
to settle their differences by force of arms.
Beginning in 1901 and ending in 1916 Colorado went
through fifteen years of Civil War. Capital and labor
spent, in original Investment and interest to date
seven and half million dollars in trying to effect set
tement through force Telluride Cripple Creek, Trin
dad, Idaho Springs, Ludlow, Leadville and half
dozen other ceners of labor had their wars; buried
their dead hid their wounded and starved their
and children.
1t was a terrible picture. Yet that same picture is
being reflected in the commonwealth of West Virginia
today Armed trying to reach peaceful set
tlement by killing each other; destroying property
manning and children, and bringing disgrace
lon the escutcheon of the state.
Colorado learned that that not the way to set
tile trouble under the leadership of George Carlson
governor, she enacted law which provides suitable
workmen s compensation in of injury and fur
ther law that created commission to which all dis
putes must be presented before strike or lockout can
occur.
The commission can investigate and make recon-
mendation it cannot 1brce its recommendation but
so well has this commission worked that ninetytwo per
cent of all of its recommendations have been followed
by the disputng parties.
Whereas Colorado spent thousands of dollars each
year to order in those districts strife was
rampant, since the commission was created there has
only been incident when the militia had to be called
out and then only for few DAYS
Colorado accepted the sensible way of settling dis
putes.
West Virginia must do the same. West virginia
can never settle permanently strike by allowing the
operators to employ deputy sherffs the miners TO en-
ploy gunmen the state call ont its militia and
shoot down those either side West Virginia must
rise above the settlement by shA and shell, and set
tie her difficulties through reason and honor
