Capitals Right TO Protect
It's Own Enter est 8

No better proof Of the right
of the individual to protect and
safeguard his own inerests than
the spectacle of the thousands
of men and women walking a
round over the country without
jobs. The man with money
first shows that such an one had
sense, frugality and economical
adherence to the future to save
il and be ready to invest same.
Big investors of their money
have always been to the end
that s u ch investor should have
the right to continue making
money with his brain on his in
vestment. The multiplicity of
mines that have been opened
throughout this county cost
money, brains, forethought,
risks and danger. They threw
open the doors to the thousands
of money seekers and the oppor-
tunity to share with them the
profits, If any, and to be Sble to
go to their tables each dAt I with
plenty thereon TO feed the babes
and family. The shirt-tail fell
low wanting a job to feedfclothe
and educate his children iis in a
high and exalted position. The
laborer is free to do or not, to do.
Work if he wants to or leave it
alone if he can. But friends,
capitalists can not long invest
their money unless . profit &C
crues to III e m from their In
vestments. Always in the past
when coal men were permitted
to vest their moneys, open
mines and enter into any other
kind of business, without being
directed by government author
ity you seldom ever heard of
trouble = much less thousands
of men idle all over the country.
Why all of these hundreds and
thousands of men running from
town to town looking for relief
jobs? Who knows what the
! trouble is other than that the
operators Of coal mines an d
other business activities feel
they can't make money at an ex-
pense far beyond their incomes
The same thing is true about
the A m er lean government,
which is rapidly vergng in on
bankruptcy because more money
is being taken out Of the treas
ury than in going in. How long
will this last? There are no poll
tics in this overnight increas-
ed unemployment. We do not
believe the operators feel a f e
and good over having their
mines idle.
The honest and innocent en-
ployes, the miners, yea, the
hard working, horny handed
sons of toll, no doubt, has no
thing to do with these condi-
tions, and know nothing about
what it is that causes them or
what the causes are. They do
not know that the new admins
trations brain trusters" know
VIII the cause is. The New
Deal leaders and promoters do
not seem to know because they
have never yet been able to
carry out one iota of a promise
they made against Hoover and
the Republican party, yet that
doesn't say this is or has any
thing to do with politics. If
so II could and shnnld NOT have

and founder. of a great people
through whose seed a | the ma
tons Of the earth 9 h o u | d be
blessed. Moses, in obedience to
the vision vouchsafed to Abra-
ham, refused to be called the son
of Pharoah's daughter, but pre-
ferred to lead his people out Of
Egyptian bondage, through the
wilderness into the promised
land.
Father Enes1. As Virgil tells
US in the Amid in pursuit Of, his
dream pressed through the vissi-
tudes Of fortune and made him
self father and founder of the
Latin Race. The Apostle Paul,
the constructive statesman of
christianity, was illumined by
his Z elevation to the Third
Heaven and remained forever
aftef obedient to the Heavenly
vision. The Pilgrim Fathers
dreamed, Of q land beyond the
sea, where they might worship
God after the dictates of their
own conscience. In following
out this dream a new civilization
has sprung up in the Western
worl1. Our forefathers and
m q hers ip the dark days of
SLAVERY drsafed Of their happy
honAS beyond this veil of tears,
that'S built on High "far, far
abdse hestarrI sky" What
else could hare SUSTAINED them
amidst t he ,cruelties and hard
ships of d ark days of slavery?
The christian still dreams of the
coming Of the Kingdom of
Heaven on earth where cruelty
and injustice, sickness and sor-
row, pain and death are felt and
feared on more. Who would or
could stop them from dream
ing?
When the Negro race was set
free, it began a new dream,
which brought the Kingdom of
their hopes down from the skies,
into closer proximity to the
world that 10 here now. The
happy home of a race was locat-
ed on the earth beneath. The
black patriots dreamed, America
the land of the free and the
home of the brave, in which the
Negroes enjoyment Of citizen
ship would not be denied or a
bridged on account of race, color
or previous conditions.
Negro ecclesiasts dreamed of
the founding of q christian
church, where the Negro could
stretch forth his h a nd 5, and
worship God under his own vine
and fig tree with. none to modest
or make afraid. Ambitious
Negro leaders energized the first
breath of freedom, dreamed of
establishing great projects
cities, towns, railroads, banks,
factories, corporations and com
mercial houses w hich would
rival the gigantic projects of
this material age. Marcus Car
vey, dreamed dream which no
Negro dared to dream before,
when he evisioned a great EN-
pire across the seas Of four hun
dred million souls under the
dominion of Negro princes and
potentates. The Negro scholars
dreamed of a Cultural Empire
where Negroes would enter into
patrimony Of learning beyond
the veil where race prejudice
is unknown.
But alas, alas, the happenings
of the last seventy years have
dimmed the rosy tints of these
idealistic dreams with sombre

Hon. GOOdyk0Ontz Steps
On Gas" Tourists Friend

the booklet on the subject of
development of the tourist bust
ness in West Virginia. We are
informed that the tourist bust
ness in our state has fallen be-
hind badly that of sister states,
especially of Virginia. The
reason for this seems quite clear
to me. The city of Williamson
is on the Federal Route No. So,
extending from near Chicago to
the city of Wilmington in South
Carolina. That great highway
is in perfect condition from Chi
cago TO the Ohio River, at Hunt
ington; and from the Virginia
state line just beyond Bluefield
to Wilmington, it is in equally
good condition - in fact it is a
high grade, first class concrete
highway.
But in our state-I cord
with shame and disgrace-it is
practically impossible. From
Huntington to Wayne, the road
is concrete and in good condition.
From Wayne to Williamson it is
in q very bad state of repair. At
one time thin coat of black
, top was placed on it, but during
the winter CT year before last
the freeze burst up the little
coating of black top and from
that time to this, little has been
done about it. From William
son to Welch the road is in fairly
good condition, some of it in first
class condition. From Welch
TO Bluefield some work of con-
struction is going on, but at pre-
sent IA e Of construction, we
should think that the road would
no be completed within three or
four years. There is not single
rod of concrete highway in all
of Mingo county. Just why
Federal Route 50 has been neg
lected in this state, we do o t
know. Perhaps it has been due
to the fact that those in author
ity had greater interest in roads
to the north of the Kanawha
river than they had in this end
of the state. When a traveller
passes along Route 50, from the
north, bound for Florida, leaves
the West Virginia boundary, he
makes up his mind that he will
never come INTO the state again.
He will curse the state to his dy-
ing day. That is the reason
why West Virginia is suffering
from . lack of tourist travelling.
If you can do anything to rectify
the great wrong being done the
tax payers Of this section and to
correct the deplorablc condition
Of Route y i'm West Virginia,
our confidence in YOU. and our
subscriptions, will have been
fully justified We are sending
copies of this lcttcrto the gentle
men named below, in the hope
that they will do something to
help us.
