MAJOR SAM MeCULLOUCH'S
LEAP FOR LIFE

Fort Henry was q little srockado
built for the protection Of the settlers
or West Virginia against the British
and Indians during the War Of the
Revolution. 1t stood on the Ohio
river near the present site Of Wheel
Ing. In the summer Of 1777 when 1t
was besieged by a strong force Of saw
ages. Maj. Sam Mccullough, q noted
border leader, left Fort Pitt at the
head Of 40 men to raise the siege.
Coming in sight Of the fort, McCul-
lough's men made q dash for the gates
and passed through them In safety, al
though the Indians made q desperate
effort to cut them OF. Major McCul-
Tough held back to cover the retreat
Of his men until they were safely with
In it's walls and delayed so long that
the redskins succeeded in getting be-
tween him and the fort.
Setting spurs to bis horse, the
ranger leader dashed for q hill back
of the fort. At its top he met another
band OF Indians and at the same time
a third group approached him from
another direction. The Indians were
now on three sides Of him. On the
other was q high precipice projecting
over Wheeling creek, 800 feet below.
The ranger was cornered.
The Indians raised yell Of triumph
as they closed In on him. But when
they saw Mccullough turn his horse
toward the cliff. they stopped In
amazement.
Urging his horse to dead run, the
scout dashed toward the precipice. At
the brink of the chasm he drove homie
the spurs and as his mount flew into
The first leap was a clear drop Of SO
feet, but both horse and rider were
uninjured as they landed on the steep
bank. Then slipping and sliding for
25O feet more, they came to the creek
bottom.
AS the Indians rushed to the edge
Of the precipice expecting to see the
crushed forms Of horse and man far
below, they were astonished at the
sight Of the major, still upright In the
saddle, plunging into the creek and
riding up the other side to safety.
Within few hours he was back at
Fort Pitt, organizing larger expedi.
ton to march to Fort Henry.
Five years later as Major McCul-
Tough and his brother were riding
along road near Van Metres fort,
unsuspecting danger, they rode direct
ly into an Indian ambush. This time
McCulloughs horsemanship could do
him no good. A dozen Indian rife
shots rang out and Sam Mccullough
fell dead.

CHILD LABOR LAW
UNCONSTITUTIONAL

The efforts of Congress to outlaw
child labor in factories seem destined
to failure. The Supreme Court has
just rendered decision to the effect
that tax on child labor products is in
valid. Another law of Congress to
prohibit minors from working in fac
tories was also declared unconstitu-
tional. This was decided several years
ago and the late decision on the same
line seems to indicate that child labor
in factories cannot be interferred
with unless there is an amendment to
the constitution and that would be al
most impossible of accomplishment,
as this is a matter that should be left
to the individual state and not usurp-
ed by the Federal government.
Some states have laws relating to
child labor in factories that seem to
be effective.
1t is thought that under the recent
decision of the Supreme Court ap-
proximately 100000 will have to be
refunded by the government on taxes
paid by others, now that the law has
been held unconstitutional.
More than S5 per cent. of the cot
ton mills of the south have eliminated
children from their employ.

. MANS RIGHT TO HIS JOB
s-


WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 13.-
Does a workman have q right to mis-
job? This 10 O question, much ais
cIssed in recent years. to which q
definite answer may be established
In the near future as m of the
results of the current industrial up
heaval.
The controversy over the seniority
rie hts of the striking railway en-
ployes has an indirect bearing on
the question, and the settlement of
this controversy nay point the way
to the answer to the question. OBJ
viously 1t Is a matter of the greatest
importance both to capital and to
labor. and the general public 10 only
slightly less interested in it. II 10
equally obvious that the subject is
debatable.
On the side there is the con-
tention that If a worker gives eff
cient service and complies with ca
sonable rules, and working condi-
tons he acquires a right in or to
his job which corresponds at least
In q degree to the property right
OF the employer in his invested capt.
tai and plant. This right increases
with the length OF service Of the
worker, it Is argued, and relatively
1t 10 just as valuable to him as real
and personal property are to the
employer. Therefore the conclusion
Ii drawn that the worker should not
be deprived of his job without due
process any more than his employer
Should be deprived Of his property
without to measures duly
provided and established by law.
On the other side the argument
is advanced that employment may
be given, withheld or withdrawn en-
tirely at the will OF pleasure Of The
employer and that the laborer has
no rights in the premises except to
his wage after he has earned 1t.
Employment is a contract according
to this theory and when the en-
ployer has paid the wage prescribed
anc fulfilled any other conditions
that may be stipulated in the con.
tract he Is quilted of all obligation
The job Is his and he gives II
to the worker for a consideration
The worker owns nothing but his
time, his labor and his skill, anC
these constitute the consideration II
return for which he gets first thu
opportunity to work and second thu
wage after he has rendered a spe'
cifc service. If labor Is free, II {
man can not be compelled to worl
against his will or accept a job h.
does not like. then capital must bt
no less free and the employer cor
not be required to hire a nan h,
does not like or does not want, o.
to retain q man II he sees 1T to ter
inmate the employment.
Third Side to Question
But there 10 a third side t thiI
question, as there 10 to most phasei
of the industrial problem-the pub
lie side. From this viewpoint It Il

FOR CLEANER POLITICS

The prompt manner in which both Commissioner Will
liam E. futile and Judge George S. Silzer put a stop to the
mud singing in the campaign now opening is decidedly
creditable to both gentlemen and at once puts the campaign
on a higher plane. In a political speech at a meeting in
Colingswood recently Mrs. Raymond w. Donges, Camden
member of the Democratic State Committee, is quoted as
saying that State Senator Runyon, while making a dry
that he could not stand STILL
On the platform when Mrs. Donges made her speech
wore Mr.. futile and Judge Silzer. Realizing the danger of
such a remark, the two candidates agreed that one or the
other should correct the impression that Mrs. Donges had
made on the audience. Mr.. Tuttle spoke first. He said:
Mrs. Donges charges can't be true. She must have been
misiniormed. For more than twenty years l have been init
mately acquainted with Senator Runyon and we are fellow
members of the Plainneld Lodge of Elks. He is respected
and loved by all who know him and he enjoys their con-
ndence. He is an honest and sincere gentleman, ! GOULD
not let such an allegation pass without it being promptly
and vigorously ~squelched. l have never seen or heard Of
any such thing as has been charged here. Such an attack
is untrue, unnecessary and deeply to be regretted"
With this statement by Mr.. Tuttle, Judge Silzer con-
sidered the matter closed. But as the report spread Judge
Silzer, later, issued the following statement:
II have been q close personal friend OF Bill Runyon for
over twenty years and do not need the governorship badly
enough to get it at the expense of a friends reputation. Mr..
futile sat next to me at the time the speech was made. we
discussed it and decided to correct the impression at once.
A6ODrdfngly, Mr. futile, who happened to speak first, stated
that we were sorry the incident had happened and that while
Mrs. Donges was undoubtedly sincere and honest IN her
statement she surely must have been misinformed as TO the
facts. We thought the incident closed, but unfortunately
the newspapers had Mrs. Donges' statement, but did not
print MI. Tuttle's reply. There are issues enough OF real
importance to the people upon which we differ without IN
dulging in personalities"
It is to be regretted that the first real mud singing to
be INDUCED in this year should be done by a woman. The IN
cident as q whole, however, shows what a change has taken
place in campaign methods in recent years. Time was when
personalities and mud singing, lies and viiflcations were
the usual thing in political addresses. Today when such tao
tics are resorted to the rival candidates who are supposed
to benefit by such attacks, find it advantageous to refute the
insinuation and go to considerable length to clear their OPP
ponents character.
It is a healthy sign and speaks well for American poll
tics. Both Mr.. Tuttle and Judge Silzer stand much higher
in public estimation today and the effect of their remarks
will be OF far greater benefit to them than any personal at
tacks that may be made on their Republican opponent.
