THE REVIEW TAKES EXCEP.
TON

The Hampshire Review takes issue
with an interview in the Intelligent
Ger quoting Senator NJ. NJ. Nicely as
saying that either the National Guarc
Of West Virginia or the State Con-
stabulary should be abolished.
The Review points out that the Ma
tional Guard Is financed by the Fed.
eral Government and operates at Z
very little expense to The state, OF
West Virginia.
Senator Nicely made the remark IN
question in the course Of a conyersa'
ton in which he was discussing IN
general terms plans for economy IN
the state government.
There Is a fairly general sentiment
over the state that the State Police
are occupied chiefly in providing pro-
lection for certain interests, and that
tho great expense Of maintaining this
police force should be paid for by the
interests benefited by It through
special taxation.
No doubt this was the view Mr..
Nicely had In mind when he made
tho remark to which the Review
takes exception.

UP TO THE PARENTS

The first coasting accident Of tho
season occurred several days ago. A
little boy was instantly killed when
hit by a street car. Several Wheel
ing men have narrowly escaped run
ming over youngsters with their ma
chimes when sleds have dived uneN-
pectedly In front OF them. II this
keeps up there are sure to be more
accidents.
Casualties to children at play are
the most grevious and heart-rending
Of accidents. The Riddles are not TO
blame; they like to play on the
streets in the summer and to coast
on them in the winter An all-seeinS
Providence guards them most OF the
time, but not always; frequently a
little fellow gets leg broken. q rio
cracked or is crushed to death--no
one is to blame. 1t is just an acciden'.
Preventing accidents to grown up
people IS very difficult. but guarding
the children against accident Is even
harder. The children are not respon.
sible for their actions; their little
minds do not know what danger Is
and where danger lies. they innocent
~ rush in the path OF danger to play
it is the children's way.
Mother love has long been hallow-
ed; mother love is the common heri.
tage of rich and poor alike. it Is the
one possession In this world OF which
a child is assured. Why does not
this mother love guard the child ut
play? Why do mothers and fathers
permit their children to play. to coast
where there is danger?
It may take an iron hand and a
birch switch TO bring obedience. but
IS not this better than having 4
bleeding, lifeless little body brought
home for burial? 1t is the duty oil
parents to guard their children from
harm, at least until they reach the
age of discretion.
Let the parents lay down a few
coasting rules to their children, see
that they are obeyed and the accl'
dents will be reduced to minimum.
