Beware of Fire

Fires have not beof so numer
Gus lately but a word of warning
is nontheless timely for fire does
not break out when it is expected
but strikes when we are not on
our guard. This is especially apt
to be true at this time when the
weather is intensely cold as it
has Been lately. -.
Efforts to get more heat out of
a heater that is already giving
as much heat as it was built to
give off are dangerous for any
thing can happen in such cases.
Oversize fires in CRATES are far
more dangerous than they APP
pear, and should be avoided for
obvious reasons. Another thing
We should keep in mind with all
the creeks frozen over in the coal
camps - even frozen solids
where would the fremen get
water to fight flames there?
Even in the towns water may
turn out to be somewhat short
in emergency in weather that
is near zero. The firemen would
certainly have a hard time put
ing out fire when the temporal
ture is far below freezing even
with plenty of water.
The McDowell times. [volume] (Keystone, W. Va.) 1904-1941, 1940-01-26

powers, unprecedented in our
history, comes to the floor. The
conservative group will fight this
to the last ditch. Both business
and organized labor have lined
up together in opposition. Bust
ness feels the measure is un-
necessary and would be a long
step toward totalitarianism. And
labor fels its independence Of
action would be endangered if
the bill passed.
This doesn't exhaust the list
of big issues by long shot-it
just touches the high spots.
Most of the lawmakers of both
parties will be playing politics
to the limit-Congress is simply
alive with potential Presidential
and Vice-Presidential candidates
And all of h m, as convention
time nears, IA going to do every
thing possible to put themselves
in the limelight. SO the chance
of this being a quiet session
seems about as poor as that of
the proverbial SNOW ball in hades.
The McDowell times. [volume] (Keystone, W. Va.) 1904-1941, 1940-01-26

But there is none more power
full than the fact that, on the day
h i S nation declared war, her
own democracy would fade and
even the United States would
go under form of totalitarian-
ism. Only for the emergency,
we would hope, but the future
then as now, would be uncharted
and uncertain. War, anywhere,
could easily spell the doom of hu-
man democracy, rather than its
triumph. Even in victory, the
chief cause for which we fought
might well be lost"

Rev. Solomon Jackson

The Times has had it atten-
ton drawn to the above gentle
man, and has received favorable
comments on h e Reverend, we
sought information on him and
he has consented to the publica-
ton of his record, which we are
printing below.
To whom it may concern:-
The bearer, Solomon Jackson,
Colored, began work in the Poca-
hontas coalfield in 1890. He was
with the Grocer Coal and Coke
company for some years, firing
boilers at the tipple for three
years, then the fan boilers for
three years, then fired the Croz-
err power house boilers for five
years. IN
He was transferred to the Up
land Coal and Coke company in
1901 and mined for a number
of years.
He o t a foot in the Upland
mine in 1912 by a heavy rock
fall and was fortunate that he
was not killed.
Later he worked for the Hous-
ton Coal and Coke company, also
of Elkhorn, ard since 1882 has
worked for the Board of Educa-
ton as Janitor i'm the white
school at Powhatan.
SO far as we know he has been
attending to his duties as Janit-
or satisfactorily and is still able
10 properly look after this work
His long record here at Elkhorn
attestS that he has been quite
useful citizen for many years.
Yours truly.

Not Compatible

The following editorial is from
the Atlanta Constitution, July
25, 1889, before the war clouds
broke in Europe, and it is reprint
ed as being pertinent now, as
when first printed. The Hon.
Hartley Saunders of Princeton,
sent the editorial to the Times.
"In all debates and discussions
anent a11y possible new world
war, and the possibility of Unit
ed States participation therein.
there is one vital point which is
generally overlooked.
THAT is, that no nation can
take part in any great war, under,
modern conditions and remain
democracy. The democratic
form of Government and war it,
self are simply not compatible.
War calls, without recourse. for
dictatorship at least for the dura
ton of conflict and, according to
all past experience, sizeable
remnants of that wartime dicta-
torship are certain to carry over
into the future years of peace.
at is all very well to talk OF
this country lining up with the
European democracies, and a
gainst the totalitarian states, in
the event of war. But it must not
be forgotten that all democraci-
es, this one included, would
have to sacrifice the liberties to
which they are pledged, and turn
over the conduct of their nation
al affairs TO leadership without
public restraint, if they would
hope to win. ..l.-,-
"In Europe today, iii all ma
tons which have been compelled
by circumstances to rearm and
grid themselves for possible con-
flict, many human liberties have
already been sacrificed. Britain
has turned to army CONSUMPTION
of her man power and France is
virtually living unde dictator,

! 'It might be that, after d war
was fought and won, the demo-
cratic nations could regain their
individual liberties, so highly
priced. But it would, in all pro-
liability, take little effort short

ECONOMIC AIGHL|GHTs

The administration frankly
hopes that the current session
of Congress will be brief, quiet
and harmonious. But the chance
of that hope being realized seems
dark indeed. For the Republic
ans, along with that influential
bloc of the Democratic party
which is cool to the New Deal,
and growing cooler, are apparent
ly determined to make a show
ing. They have plenty of bones
to pick, and it looks as if they in
tend to pick them clean.
First and foremost is the bud
get. Few believe that Congress
in an election year, will reduce
appropriations. If Congress fin
ally approves another big spend
ing budget it will have to either
levy new taxes or raise the pres
ent legal debt limit of forty-five
billion dollars. At the moment
the odds seem to favor the latter
course = new taxes to produce
sufficient revenue are politically
dangerous.
Second on the list of unsolved
problems is national defense.
There is general agreement that
our defense facilities m u be
Strengthened. At the same time,
opinion on the administrations
two billion dollar military pro-
gram is far FIR 0 m unanimous.
There is a strong group in Con-
gress which feels h the re-
concentrations should be thoroug
ly investigated, with possibili-
Ity of making changes and cost
cuts. Some critics of the program
say that it is primarily design
ed to enable us to again partici-
pate In a foreign war, and that
it goes far beyond our needs for
territorial defense. Still an
other school thinks we should
p | a n on hemisphere defense
that is, a military establishment
t h a could repel invader of the
entire continents and Northern
South America, and make it posi-
BILE to put teeth in the Monroe
Doctrine if, and when necessary.
To build our fighting resources
to that extent would of course,
take a great lesgth of time and
cost an Incredible sum.
Third lead issue is the trade
reciprocal law, which must be
again renewed if Secretary of
State Hull is to continue to make
trade deals with other countries.
1t will be proposed that all trade
agreements m Il s be approved
individually by Congress be-
fore becoming effective. Mr.. Hull
IS absolutely against this, on the
grounds that it would defeat
the purpose of the act and make
workable treaties next to i'm
possible to cOnsumate. The farm
belt has always disapproved the
present law, and its represent
tives W ii be almost solidly a
gainst renewing it in its present
form. This promises to be quite
fight-Mr. Hull is a man who is
almost universally admired and
respected. even by those who
disagree most violently with his
opinions, and the whole weight
of his prest;age and infuece will
be. thrown into the fray on be-
haIf of continuance of his trade
program. Odds now se e m toI
narrowly favor Mr.. Hull coming
out on top.
There will be another not
