The purpose of paternalistic gov
eminent, matter on which many Of
LaFollette's followers are agreed
would mean nation of Office hold

persons would have to labor to sup
port the 4th one, which would mean
taxes increased to point far, far
higher than they are today. Govern
ment employees, as rule, are given
thirty days vacation every year; they
are give thirty days sick leave each
year,-all of this with pay.
1t is known here that every trick
an device to fool the voters will be
tried Already vast hordes of speak
ers have been sent to county fairs,
street corners, political raLys and
other places. Many of these stump
speakers will, no-doubt, try to con-
vey to the people the idea that with
the success of the third party every
one will have bags of gold and have
perform little of any labor. A large
portion of labor has already revolted
the clerk, the business man, will have
none of these promises. The farmer
will not be fooled by promises that
he knows cannot be fulfilled The
mother, the wife;-in fact, the women
of the nation are not going to be
fooled into voting for something that
will ultimately bring misery, if moth
ing more, to their homes. AS one

ooh, that 7. R. were alive; he would
be dashing from one part of the coun-
try to the other. He would rally a.
round him the people who believed in
him. He believed in law and order;
help open the eyes of the people to
the danger that confronts them. He
would strip away the glittcring
promises which clothe the third party
he would point out to the real pro-
gressives (not those who would trade
on the name) that this third party is
not what the country needs; he would
show that in the end this camoufag-
ed party means practical enslave-
ment for the children of the next gen
Grafton and body blow to the grown
folks of today. He would show the
realmotive behind the movement and
would drag into the light those that

OUR BoUNDEN DUTY.


This newspaper must first of.sall
be clean, and without malice in its
opinions and expressions and it must,
at all times, devote itself unflinching-
ly and fearlessly to the public service
in the interests of the masses OF the
people.
1t must always combat evil and in
justice.
1t must always fight for progress
and reform.
1t must never tolerate corruptions
1t must be in sympathy with the
poor and unfortunate.
For Belington it must always
stand with the unselfish devotion, for
the achievement of the finest ideals,
of every high purpose, of every en-
terprise, of every step in the march
of progress.
1t must stand for good govern
ment, freedom, equality, the public

Baby Sacrifice Would
Populate Good-Sized Town

About one-third of all deaths record
ed last year with the State Department
of Health were of children under six
years of age, and the greatest proper
ton of these were babies under one
year of age, states the Child Hygiene
Division Of the State Department Of
Health. M
There were 3,50S babies born in the
state last year who did not live to
have their first birthday, about half
dying in their first month of life. AL
though birth and death rate records
are not complete in West Virginia, it
is known that there were 1888 babies
born dead, making total loss of 1891
infants under one year in 1928, or
enough to populate good-sized town,
reads a bulletin issued. tl&s
Through the cooperation of physj-
clans and public health nurses who
specialize In mother and child care, a
few localities in the state are making
special effort to demonstrate that at
least half such deaths can be prevented
by proper care of the mother before
the child Is born, at its birth and for
sometime thereafter

deaths la West Virginia. and other

THURSDAY, SEPT. 1lTH,ls24

The third party has not been gain
ing ground for the past two weeks.
Although an attempt has been made
to use the term Progressive" in de-
scribing it, the cause has failed to
enlist those who were foremost among
the followers of Theodore Roosevelt.
They say that LaFollette has no right
to that name. The largest organized
elements which have come unhesi-
tatingly and enthusiastically to the
support of the third party are Social
istt, Radicals, Communists, l. w. WIS
and members of other bodies who are
essentially opposed to the principles
upon which this government was
founded. These elements could never
have been attracted to, or held, unless
underlying the camouf1age phrases of
the platform there were to be found
those principles to which they, the
radicals, adhere and which strike at
the very heart of the country. Their
plans, which they believe can best be
carried out through the third party,
would take away from the small bust
ness man the opportunity of making
living for himself and his loved
ones, and in the last analysis would
take away from the small business
man the opportunity of making liv-
ing for himself and his loved
ones, and in the last analysis would
strike deep at the moral structure of
the nation. 1t must not be forgotten
for moment that to these elements
of the third party, Soviet Russia is
the ideal form of government. The
Russian form of government would
take from the wage-earner his chance
to advance; it would deprive the chill
dren of the nation of their chance to
secure an education; it would prevent
their occupying higher positions in
the affairs of the world than their
parents have held,--the latter would
be but mere cogs in vast machine.
That would mean that the children
would be in the same position as are
the little ones of Russia today.
1t has been estimated by statisti-
clans and published in magazines and
paper throughout the country that 1
out OF every ID of our voting citizens
is; today, an employeesof the govern
nent, the state, the county or town.

A Weekly Panorama of Events in tn,
National Capital
By PETER KEEGAN
Special Correspondent Of
Of

POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS are ex-
pensive undertakings, the national
committees of the three political par
ties are now finding out. Each of
them is hard up, and especially the
Progressives who have appealed to
the American Federation of Labor for
assistance in garnering contributions
from trade unions throughout the
country. The Republicans and Demo-
Gratis, of course, are not nearly 50
broke, but they will have to do some
close figuring to complete the cam
paign without mourning deficits.
PROHIBITION COMMISSIONER
Haynes stirred up hornets nest
when he charged that the failure of
Washington judges to impose suffi-
GENTLY heavy fines was chiefly res
ponsible for the difficulty encountered
in enforcing the dry law in the Cap
itol. The Federal judges to whom
Haynes referred was quick to take
offense, declaring that the Commits
sioner was talking through his hat. 1t
is in fact, however, that drunkenness
in Washington is increasing though
| disagreement exists among officials
as to whom is to blame for condi-
tons.
SECRETARY OF STATE Hughes
smiles broadly and makes no reply to
the assertion of the Russian Soviet
Government that he is responsible
for the civil war in China. Ameri-
can officials look upon this and SINH
lar charges emenating from Moscow
as part of the propaganda of the Sow
let against the United States and its
commercial interests in the Far East.
In this connection too, there is some
| apprehension among officials here
over the growing power of Russia in
the Orient, particularly in China,
where Russian officers have been used
in training some of the troops now
engaged in the revolution at Shang-
| hal.
WASHINGTON PREPARED a
magnificent reception for Lieutenant
Lowell Smith and Lieutenant Erik
Nelson, the American round the
world fiers, but called it off at the
request of the Secretary of War, who

desired that the Magellans of the air

cation of the globe, should be per-
mitted to rest as much as possible in
stead of being subjected to the RI
gours of public celebration. The

ton, Chicago and Cheyenne on their
way to Seattle, where the fight will
end.
1T is FORTUNATE, in view of
the splendid record that these fiiers
have made in encircling the globe
that their feat must come under the
scrutiny Of a Congressional investi-
cation. Of course no one blames the
fiiers. They did what they were told
to do and did it we'll But the inves-
tigation which undoubtedly will break
in Congress, will be for the purpose
Of determining why the flight was
ordered by the War Department,
what was expected to be accomplish
ed and what was accomplished.
There are some who feel that the
fight proved nothing except that
flying around the world is highly
impractical proposition. Naval Off
Gals point out that an ordinary little
destroyer can do it quicker and cheap
er than an airplane.
WITH INDICATIONS that each
of the Presidential candidates will
receive a fair share of the popular
vote, two months hence, it is becom-
ing increasingly probable that there
will be deadlock in the Electoral
College. What will happen after that
no one may with certainty conject-
ure. Some experts have figured out
that the United States for at least
twenty four hours and maybe longer,
beginning at midnight on March 8,
1925, may be without President. 1t
is lucky for the country that it does
not have the habits of some of its
Latin-American neighbors, who in
such contingency would find the
Government seized by some military
chief.

that time and up to. the time the baby
