' I believe in the United Stales of Ameri tea as a government of the people, by 9M| the people, for the people, whose just ; p9&?j|2k powers are dervxd from the consent of Spjtfhf the governed; a democracy in a repub'ic, a sovereign Nation of many sovereign . * States; a perfect Union, one end in/ep|Jg|j ai able, established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots ri'fjkcnfiiitl their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is Wh 9B?, t0 m)> country to love it; to support its Constitu Iobe]/ iU.iam; to rapeci tu jiag; ana to aejena u ill enemies. FOR THE PUBLIC WEAL ER- indeed is the denunciation of the government interfering in the wage controversy in the coal idiistry ^ expressed in the statement issued yesterday brecutive council of the American Federation of 'But the Federation does not stand alone in this. 1 no statements along that line have come from the t* those who are familiar with conditions know f are nan> u;)ii*ta*-\.n# tcel quite as strongly i government represents the publV., and right now, irst.time, the public's interest is being adequately e of. It will do no particular good for the opcrmte letters to senators and representatives and pull Washington, nor for the American Federation to wnents denouncing steps that are "unparalleled story of our country.!'" The public knows that li paralleled, and it is going to be very glad that ijfe that the greatest good of the greatest number recognized to be something more than abstract American Federation of Labor enjoys thp respect mgrican "people. Its conduct during the war was Side, but if the Federation means to indicate by t of yesterday that it believes the government ve a moral as well as legal right to take steps le interests of the general public in an industrial :h is on such a vast scale that it affects the enit is on slippery ground. IC OPINION SOMETIMES LAX. mal report the senate committee which made igation into the steel strike expressed confidence sense of the American people and the power inion to correct all evils of an industrial charhe facts are in possession of the public. Now traditional, and doubtless in the long run it is new. It would be a pessimistic person indeed n faith in die sanity and reasonableness of the e most enlightened country in the world. But time it ought to be admitted that sometimes on slumbers so completely that a great deal s done before the public begins to arouse itself, steel strike and the more recent coal strike, for ?th of these were "brought about by the ascend* itals in the councils of the labor organizations gg which called them.

Suddenly die whole country waked up to the fact that a minority had captured control of the labor organization of j two of the country j most important basic industries and J was making demands which were not in accordance wkn J the principles of trades unionism, but were really ivqled t efforts at industrial revolution. The awakening wariharp; r the revolutionaries were defeated even before their program began to work, for public opinion turned upon them. Bat in the "meantime a great deal of damage'has been donr. i Tl>e public will have a huge bill of damages to pay, and J ; that will have a tendency to keep up the wat of living. But i ; the greatest damage will come in the loss of prestige to the i labor organizations and the labor movement generally j f | which will ensue unless great care is taken by those who \ ,k* **"? l?bnr nrgamVaham ?t heart. ! o One of the things that can be done to ^restore confidence ' in labor organizations is to take steps on the inside to preI vent the seizure of power by a determined and unscrupII ulous minority. , There is'-almolt complete democracy in the organizations of sach labor unions as those which are now out on strike. If there was a common level of intelligence the majority would be certain to rule, for it always does when education and democracy march hand in hand. j But there is a great deal of downright ignorance on one, hand and a tremendous amount of indifference on the other, j t and as a result ambitious schemers managed to get control i with results that the public now thoroughly understands, j 1; r???Or-?? i to ANNOUNCED WITH REGRET. ' !SJ CHARLES V. REDIC, who for the past four years * was in charge of the circulation department of The t West Virginian, yesterday took charge of the Morgan- n town News Agency of which he is part owner and of (' which in the future he will be the manager! ? With Mrs. Redic he will in the near future remove to the town down the river and this change will take out of Fairmont <pie of its widely known young business men. J From his boyhood he has been connected with the business of distributing the local and out-of-town newspapers and his devotion to duty, intelligence and a personality that is t! way above the average won for him recognition as one of P the best circulation men in this section. It was his solid t; success alongthat line which threw into his path the op-i h portunity to engage in business for himself. & j The West Virginian announces the withdrawal of Mr. ; Redic from the paper's staff of executives with sincere re- jj gret, but at the same time he takes with him to Morgan- j, town the very best wishes, not only of the newspaper itself, but of every employe of the paper. Mr. Redic's successor si as circulation manager of the paper is Arthur Garrett, a h former resident of the town who saw army service. j jj ?! g v Toledo citizens last week voted to oust the street car! company from the streets of the city because it had 1 raised the fires to eight cents, and the company tookjn thera at their word. Now they are paying about twice I u as much to automobile owners and bus lines every time. yi they ride and the city officials find themselves in (He){ position of having started something they probably can-i i not finish. The officials will at least have the sympa- tl thy of the oUicers of labor urifons whose hands have been forced by the radicals in the ranks^ and the public probably will take it out in cussing, o s< Count William Bohenzollern, former kaiser of the German empire, fled to the Netherlands one year ago / today. It probably was the. longest year in the life of that gentleman of wrecked ambitions, but it was not as long as the one jUBt ahead qf him will be. Time Is going to drag pretty heavily upon the hands of Count William. Among the Ujlngs taken in the raids on radicals in New York was rS^tons of literature of various kinds, jjj ' flvidently no one IsVying to deny the reds the use or w I the printing press. "V dl , n ? The workers in the Red Cro"Bvf?U call met with great n| success yesterday, but It is evident that a large number tt of people have failed to distinguish between the ordinary drive against which there Is considerate prejudlcp and a membership in the Red Cross. (The Red Cross goes on forever, and It always finds work to do. It is * an honor to belong to Buchi an organization and every ^ public spirited man and woman should see to it that g: his or her name 1b on the roll, which will be published tl In full In the newspapers this year, by the way. 0 n g n There is a feeling In Washington now that the special if session of congress will not be able to adjourn before H the time set by the constitution for the beginning of the '? regular session. As they contemplate this prospect con-gressmen naturally will regret the days they wasted in useless debate and In "stalling" on questions that might have been settled quite quickly and easily. - y pjuB\TiLMke Mrs. Linda J.
