A LETTER TO THE EDITOR
.ltor Herald:

>1COr Herald:
Allow me to congratulate you
upon your good editorials re-
lative to lack of law enforce
ment in Dickinson county. AS
yet you are one crying in the
wilderness, but there are signs
today Of an awakening that
bodies i'll for law-breakers.
For years Dickinson county
has been asleep, and during that
time she has been oblivious, in
large measure, to things per,
tanning to law and order. While
sleeping the occurl snce of a
crime of a particularly grue-
some nature would affect the
county as something of a bad
dream or nightmare. Then she
would turn over, pull the cover
over her head and resume her
interrupted slumber. AS a re-
suit, the name OF Dickinson
county has been little more than
a hiss and a by-word of con-
tempt in all the nearby count
les.
Just now we find the county
at a peculiar point or stage in
her development. The alarm
clock of righteous indignation
against crime has sounded, and
she stirs uneasily in her couch.
In her waking hours she is con.
scious of having slept too long.
DlcKenson county is now pas
sing throcgh. her first hours of
careful consideration. Following
closely, let us hope, will be days
of action. More fierce than ever,
because OF such 10 ngneglect,
will be the days of reconstruct
ION and retriUution.
From the streets of Clint
wood, from the highways, the
by-ways and hedges come COM
plants. They are ashamed, say
the citizens of Dickinson coun-
ty, of the continual disregard
Of law.
The citizens who traversed
Ie rceos leading into Clint
wood last Sunday saw DRINKS
to the right, DRINKS to the left,
and if he passed the mouth of
Lick Branch of Brush Greek in
the afternoon he heard volley
after volley of shots and the
sound of drunken revelry. Sure
ly, all will agree that such con-

while planning the first section.
The gymnasium, which also
serves as an auditorium, is said
to be one OF the best high school
gyms in. this section of the
STATE.
Second Senior High School
Three years of high school
work is being offered at Haysi
this year, and the fourth year
VIII be added next year, which
will make it the second senior
nigh school in Dickinson Coun-
ty. At present the Dickinson
Memorial high School is the
only school to offer four years
OF secondary work. Seventy
five pupils have enrolled in the
nlgn scnool department and one
hundred eight in the grades,
making a total enrolment of
one hundred eighty-three ,this
session.

Hour Periods in High School.
The hour recitation period
for high school classes has been
IN operation in the local school
this year. This is in keeping
with the modern trend in edu-
cation, which in recent years
has been to lengthen the recit.
alton period. Next year the
State Board Of Education will
cequire all accredited high
schools to use the hour period.
The high school also operates on
what is known as a rotating
class schedule. Besides having
certain administrative advant-
ages, the rotating schedule dis
tributes the desirable time po-
sitions on the schedule equally
to all subjects.

Axtra-C orricular Activities
Stressed

Approximately 100 per cent
of the high school pupils parti-
cipate in one or more activities
outside of the regular class
work. Inter-class basketball and
indoor base ball have been cam
handing their share of inter
est. In the recent inter-class
basketball series, six boys and
girls teams participated. This,
however, does not include the
two teams which represent the
school in the inter-high school
competition. The eighth grade
boys team recently won the
class championship of the
school.
The Eldorado and Sunbeam
literary societies, with member
ships of approximately thirty
each, hold their meetings each
Thursday morning at the activ-
tiles period, The date of the
public debate between these re-
walls has not yet been announc-
ed, but is expected to be arrang-
ed sometime during the month
{ March.
With the coming of hard sur
face roads to this section, Hay

rapidly into large consohdat-
j school center.

WOMEN

W-O-NI-G-4N
She's an angel in truth, a
demon in fiction, a woman
is the greatest of all con-
tradiction. She's afraid of
a cockrbach, sht'H scream
at a mouse, but she'll tack
lie a husband as big as a
house. She'll take him for
better, she'll take him for
worse, she'll split his head
open and then be his nurse,
and when he is well and can
get out of bed, she'll pick
up a teapot and throw at
his head. She's faithful, de-
ceitfll, keenSghted, and
blind; she's crafty, she's
simple, she's cruel, she's
kind; she'll lift a man up,
she'll cast a man down;
she'll make him her hero,
she'll make him her clown.
You fancy she's this, but
you find she is that, for
she'll play like a kitten and
bite like a cat. In the morn
ing she will, in the evening
she won't, and you're al
ways expecting she does
but she don't.

Western Hemlock.
Aberdeen, Wash, World)

Timber under modern forestry methods, wisely IS regarded as a crop. If it not for that, in the present high regard bestowed the once lowly hemlock might be found a very close analogy to some phases of the history of copper mining. Many a gold mine, worked in early days solely for the precious metal and very often without profit there from later has become a notable copper producer through application of modern mining methods. But a mineral whether gold copper or other, once taken from the ground is gone by no alchemy may it be replaced-even though there be plenty of old prospectors who, defiant of the dctum of geology, still insist that gold just grows"
 Perhaps betetr analogy may be found in the things that do grow in the fields. As for example, the succulent tomato. For a long time, known simply "the love apple" it was cultivated in Europe ornamental shrub, appreciated for it's beauty alone It is only in comparatively recent era that the tomato has become highly valued food. As to the hemlock question as to its beauty. None of the conifers excells it in sight Illness "The murmuring pines and the hemlocks, beared with moss,' long ago evoked the poets rapture
 But the hemlock left the enterprsing logger cold He had eyes, in Acadia or elsewhere on the Atlantic seaboard, for the pine And so it was out in the Pacific Northwest with that very superior species, the western hemlock. The logger saw but the fir the spruce, the cedar, until but few years back. few mills then awakened to the possibilities of the despised western hemlock And now many following in their foot steps, capalizng the striking merits of the wood, it's ghtness, easy workabity, freedom from pitch and resin length and oughness of fiber its ability to take nails without splitting Besides its merits building material, it has been proven excellent pulp material

ALABAMA BECOMES COTTON MANUFACTURING STATE.

Alabama recently passed Rhode Island as the fifth State in the production of cotton goods It has been only few years since the latter State was second to Massachusetts, first. Massachusetts IS now third to South and North Carolina first and second respectively Georgia is fourth and is rapidly closing the gap between her and Massachusetts recent Department of Commerce report showed Georgia less than 30 per cent behind Massachusetts and South Carolina and North Carolina each nearly 90 per cent. greater than the New England State South Carolina continues to lead North Carolina for first place by small margin More than 70 per cent of the cotton manufacturing of the United States is now done in the South

A WHITE CHRISTMAS By Mary Graham Bonner

The Little Black Clock had a plan all in readiness.
 Where are we going?" John and Peggy asked him.
 I've got a sled outside-it will hold three-and we're going to be taken to see a special person."
 That didn't mean much of any thing to John and Peggy, but they followed the Little Black Clock and all got on sled, which was waiting for them.
 The sled was drawn by a person something like snow man. Yet he seemed able to move more quickly than any snow man ever could
 They moved rapidly over the snow.
 Wasn't it marvellous having snow for Christmas?" John asked.
 "You1l have to make that speech all over again" the Little Black Clock said. Tt will please her"
 John didn't understand at all, but in a few moments they were drawn up before the loveliest of snow palaces. It was like huge snow house, as Peggy said, and yet it was much too wonderful for a house-it was indeed a palace.
 It was decorated with icicles, and it was very firmly built The sun was shining, and the palace seemed a mass of jewels. In fact, it was so glittering and so dazzling that they could hardly look at it.
 I've turned the time back two days" the Little Black Clock said, and just, at that moment, a beau tiful lady appeared at the great front door of the palace.
 Have you come to make the great yearly request?" she asked.
 We have!" the Little Black Clock said.
 Come inside,v the lady urged, and to herself, she added, T know they want a white Christmas!"

ENFORCEMENT OUTLAWS MUST
 OBSERVE THE LAW.

Gradually the United States Courts are curbing the ruthless lawlessness that for many years has characterized Prohibition enforcement in the United States. In another place this page is an article taken from the New York Herald Tribune
 probably generally regarded as the leading Repub- lican newspaper in the United States setting forth the decision of United States District Judge Thomas of Connecticut which holds that there must be more evidence than the seizure of liquor to make lawful basis of arrest. that the seizure of liquor must be an incident to arrest rather than the foundation for one He holds, further, that unless

Whales, Whither Away.
Christian Science Monitor)


 Whales cannot be inspected in aquariums nor bought at 10-cent stores at dime apiece with a bowl thrown in few animals more difficult to study than these great mammals of the sea. But information regarding their number and habits is important. and another research ship, the Dscov- cry II, recently launched at Port Glasgow under auspices of the Crown Agents of the Colonies Whale research work, which started in 1926 was actuated largely by the hope of forestaling the extermination threatened by modern methods of hunting the whale. The results, ultimately are expectation that necessary restrictive measures may be adopted.
 The whaling industry has come down through the centuries for nearly 1000 years It became an important and romantic industry in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, when Newfoundland ports and Nantucket and New Bedford maintained great fleets wherever the whale could be found-in the Atlantic, the Pacific and the Antarctic Oceans Was not Herman Melvlles "Moby Dick" inspired by the adventurous phases of life aboard whaler from New Bedford where precious relics of the call ing preserved? The whale was pursued re- lentlessly by British, Dutch and American ships until the middle of the nineteenth century when scarcity of whales and the use of substitutes for whale products caused the industry to wane
 In the present century the introduction of machinery and modern methods of handling. in some measure have brought about revival in the industry Hence the worthy efforts to determine not only the effect of the industry on the whale population, but also all conditions bearing upon the whale and its movements

THE VARE CASE.
The Sun yesterday printed the following: SMITH AND VARE

The Sun yesterday printed the following:
 SMITH AND vARE
 Two years ago, in discussing the refusal of the United States Senate to admit Frank L, Smith of Illinois, The World said
 "The ultimate question is whether majority of a quorum of the Senate may reverse the decision of a plurality of the voters of Illinois on a question not of law but of the proprieties. The State of Illinois has no law against the Smith -Insull tran saction The United States has no law against it. plurality of the voters, after full warning and full debate, have consented to it. By. what right, then, does majority of the Senate presume to declare that the offense is great enough to warrant re- fusal to seat MT. Smith and thus to deny Illinois the representation to which it is entitledP It is acting upon the theory Of Senator Reed that in admitting members the power is absolute He does not merely claim mind you, that the Senate may by law fix the qualifications of Senators. He claims that the Senate may in each in- stance without previous notice, for reasons undeclared and unexplained, invent ex post facto such reasons as it chooses.
 This claim to absolute power is, in our opinion, lawless in spirit, dictatcrial in character, in violation of the Federal char acter of this government and a direct challenge to the principle of representative government"
 Now, after the Senate has left Penn sylvania without representation in the Senate for two whole years and has in the end barred finally the man who got the most votes, The World announces that "the Senate has denied justice to neither MT. Ware nor Pennsylvania but has simply taken a stand in defense of the integrity of Senatorial elections"
 Whats the Constitution when Virtue is in peril?
 The Sun should not be too nasty. Since The Worlds earlier editorial was written fraud was disclosed in the election. Mr. Ware was rejected because of fraud in the election. Nobody has ever asserted that the Senate could not reject a man whose cleo tion was frauduent.-(New York World) The World is by no means harsh in its jut ent of itself The Senate unquestionably right under certain circumstances to reject an whose election was fraudulent It has a ril reject him if it is established that his major er an opponent was due to fraud or if he held personally responsible for fraud or V gnizant of it at the time it was committed a ade no effort to prevent commission even if aud was not the controlling factor in his II rity.
 It was not eStabnShed that MT. VareS II rlty was due to fraud. If it had been, 'ponent, William B. Wilson, would have bt ated. Nor was MT. vare's personal responsbi] the frauds, that were not material as far le final results were concerned, establised I uth is that MT Ware was refused a seat in snate because of the enormous expenditures in shaf in the Republican primary election u ave him his party's nomination It may be u le Senate had right to eject Mir Ware ot to reject him.
