The Home Is The
Cradle of Democracy


It has been said with truthfulness that "the home
IS the cradle of democracy" Americanism was
founded on the platform of freedom and inde-
pendence and in home ownership we fully realize
the meaning of these two American ideals: Free
dom from the waste and burden of paying fent
and independence in the shelter and protection we
are privileged in giving our loved ones. Nothing
can promote more happiness and contentment in
a family than the possession of their own home
and appreciating this, our every effort should be
toward attaining and maintaining ideal homes, for
everything we do tc aid success and even success
itself can be rghtfully measured by the happiness
and contentment that comes from home owner
ship.

L etter to the Editor
THE PRIMARY
N1ANNINGTON, July

WARRINGTON, July "a
editor The West Virginian) -
Coming events cast their shad-
ows." The primaries are here.
Prospective nominees are promis-
ing better Things in government
Every time there is an election WI,
look 20. the fulfillment OF these
promises. Why is it that we are
disappointed? Because public Of
flee is so often exploited to selfish
and partisan advantage; prostitut-
ed to greed and the exercise of
power. With warning faith in our
government. but with prayerful
hearts we hope on Candidates
whom we know will serve partisan
interests and keep the great ma
jority of our people from enjoying
the benefits of good movement,
should be discarded.
It will be remembered that ex-
Congressman NJ. M Nicely. who IS
now candidate for the Senate,
voted for the Esch-Cummins Rail
way Bill. When the roads were
the spring of 1920, they came I'M
der this law. 1t met the demands
of private capital by guaranteeing
6 per cent on the stocks and bonds
of the roads, but left the manage
ment in private hands This law,
also created the United States
Railway Labor Board with the
function of hearing and determin-
ing disputes in wages. During the
~, wages k;d been increased 20
TeIcent. Freight and pass eCgec
raes, under the control of the /
C.. c., had been advanced about
rs per cent. In July 1921 the board
met the demands of the roads by
a reduction of 400 million dollars
in wages. The increase OF rs per
cent in rates, together with re-
duction of 400 million dollars in
wages did not produce enough re-
venue TO meet the increased OK
penses of the roads under private
ownership, and accordingly a
further reduction of wages was or
dered by the Labor Board, amount
ing to $3.50 per man for the 400
600 shopmen, s120 for the 100000
maintenance waymen. The freight
rates were raised SO high that it
did much to cause business depres-
sion and the public demanded that
they be reduced. a meager reduc-
ton OF 10 per cent has just gone
into effect.
rec1te THESE facts to Show that
the Esch-Cummins Law which cost
the nation one and one-half bill
lion dollars the first year, which
NJ NJ. Nicely used his s.better
judgment to support. operates
against the public good, and di-
rectly against organized labor,
while it makes private 0Gpital safe
by the authority of government,
and the resources of the nation.
1t leaves. labor Frustrated and
helpless under its provisions 1t
fixes the wage below the scale of
decent living to meet the satisfied
and guaranteed demands of private
capital. 1t makes the men. who
are an important factor in the
handling of this great public urli-
lily, mere dependents 1t handles
their labor as commodity, and
m ore, for the government does not
interfere with the price fixing of
our merchants.
The men-have but one right left
