"t ?= i I THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 6, IS 22. . j WOULD IT BE ANY USE. ' I 'O those who have been insisting that the govX eminent step in and arbitrarily adjust matters botweon the coal operators and the United lilne Y/orkers, it must be a discouraging sliock to note the attitude of the railroad strikers in llio lace ot the ruling of the United States Railroad Labor Board. The railroad employees, on the average are a higher type of workmen than that found in the ranks of the coal miners. There is not so large a percentage of foreigners, and the work required demands a higher grade ot workmen. Tltat suclj a class of labor should go out on strike in defiance of'the ruling of a federal board is vastly I more disconcerting than a similar occurrence would be cOnting from a coal mining body already wrought up and in most uncertain temper. II this type of workmen, exemplified by the - strike of the shopmen, refuse to abide by the decision of the federal board, appointed by the United States government to adjust wages arid smooth out difficulties, what sort ot a show would ' a similar board have in the present ruction be Z tween the mine operators and the miners? v- THE WOMEN IX THE RACE. ZZ ' I ' HE Republican and Democratic tickets for the ^ X primary election August 1 are now before T:.. the voters and for one solid month candidates will I * be presenting their virtues before their own parties for support. The tickets this year are unique in that they ? ' bear the names of women for some of the offices |T. ?, ?the first time in the history of West Virginia V ' that women have ever run in the primaries for P party nomination. There are six women in the **" field; four Eepuhlicans and two Democrats, and !*/ ? ?- their presence there ensures a heavy vote among Matron County women at the primaries. Needless to say the women who have entered the race are fj. there because they are sure they can be of use "I" to their county and state if elected. It is doubtful if any other six c.-udidates to be voted upon ; August 1,. represent so much unselfish ambition to servo as this half dozen women who make the initial attempt for office. With one exception the women are offering themselves for school board duty, and a more lit1 J ting place for womanly activities cannot be named. ?* It is a matter for regret that every district board , did not present the name of at least one woman S for thi% office, for every school board would be HI the stronger and the better for the voice of a ?; i woman in directing the affairs of school matters. Now that organized bodies of women are interesting themselves in legislation of various helpful .. kind, and are coming more and more forcefully J: before the state legislature each session to presont Igs their views upon welfare matters and improved pipcivic conditions, there is a big aema:. lor women 1*1 representatives in the state legislature. In answer Iplitb this demand there are several w-meii on 111e | ? - county primary tickets throughout the state, and ..;.AMarion Couny also has one. It is safe to say that " the women who are elected to the state legislature j will go into office witli an unbiased view of the , things to come up for their consideration. They j 3 ' will not be hound by old prejudices nor train- j < meled by old bitternesses.

Threatening situations now find the officers of the law being overwhelmed with volunteered assistance If need arises, and action of the court that gives drastic punishment to proven mob leaders is approved with emphasis by the people. Judge Southern gave four men four years In the penitentiary last week for assaulting a man on his way to work in a non union mine, and the sentiment throughout the community- was, one of eomnlete aooroval of the judge's decision. The people are in hearty accord with the judge? when he states that "the government o? the United States is the best government on earth and that mob rule will not be countenanced in this country." In the beginning of the ccal strike public opinion was in the balance. If anything, the miners ( had the advantage, for the public was impatient l with the group of operators who would not even ! confer with the men about a wage scale, and there ! was pretty general belief that collective bargaining and mutual understanding had kept the coal business on a sound basis for nearly a quarter of j a century, and that this was pretty good proof I that it was the best way to keep coal mining con! ditions steady and market conditions reliable. The United Mine Workers had this public sentiment ! back . of them and the people were disposed to be patient. There has been a great I f-n ntilaHo foalfno- TXT i t i n t V) nast. two ! weeks. The Herrin outburst simply horrified the nation, coming as it did on the heels of a condition that had been, featured by- numerous smaller in-: ! cidents, which the public had smoothed out of its mind hoping that each occurrence would be the last. I The public feels that in a measure it is to blame lor the Herrin tragedy because opinion was not expressed forcibly enough to make such an oc-I currence impossible. There are to be no more; mistakes of this kind however, and any attack on, men who are at work in the mines, peaceably] and honestly making ;i living in this, a free coun-1 try, will certainly bring forth stiff punishment promptly administered. / There is no organic 1 body in America, nor is] there enough wealth or pull on the part of any in-' dividual' or group of individuals, to stand against the expressed will of the public. Whenever any faction or any individual looms up in the role of oppressor or intimidator, and the public is sufficiently convinced that the accusation is true, things immediately begin to get mighty uncomfortable for the offender. The work which is now going on to ascertain exactly where Marion CouiVty stands in the tuberculosis question is to be highly commended. The active cooperation of the Marion County Medical Society and the local Red gCross chapter with the state tuberculosis association will , reveal the true state of affairs very quickly. The public is cooperating also in that those suspicious of their state of health are flocking into the^clinics for examination. There is only one thing to be considered in the dreaded t. b. and that is to get after it early in the game. The disease, just like cancer, can be cured if the afflicted will only seek the cure soon enough. Every person in the county who has any reason for being uneasy over a persistant condition that implies tuberculosis should surely grasp the opportunity offered on this visit of Dr. Charles William White. It is. the chance of a life time to get the opinion of the best expert ill mc l'uhcu uLun-o, ?O It is strange liow difficult it is to recognize individuals under certain circumstances. Evidently those lads from Locust Avenue must look altogether different in police court from what they do when gathered on Locust Avenue street cornrs. Then, too. everything looks different when anger cools. The police will possibly remember this hereafter when Locust Avenue gets quarrelsome. _G It is all right for the colored veterans to put a hyphen in their post name if they desire it?the only hyphen America finds objectionable is the hvphe that some persons . retain in their patriotism. The Glass Workers will discover that Fairmont can warm up on acquaintance if they will stick around a little longer. 3'ou were sched- ment," declared Walter, "and I'll ou never develop make good or bust.

AMERICAN CHEMISTS PRAISED FOR WORK BOSTON, July 6?The time has come when teachers may justly dwell upon the word "American" in chemistry instruction, C. H. Stone. president of the English High School, Boston, said today in an address before the Department of Science Instruction, National Education Association here. "During the past tell years this country has shown that it has chemists second to none; it has shown that there is an American chemistry," Mr. Stone said. "Mention of only a few lines of endea' vor, such as optical glass, dyestuffs. war gasses, explosives, and nitrogen fixation will show that today we stand upon a chemical lever with any of the nations. The names of our American chemists should be as freely used in our class work as those of European chemists. Let us give to America and to American chemists the credit which is their just due. "tVhen we look into the future and realize the great part which chemistry is destined to play in this country, a strong feeling of responsibility comes over us. To lay the broad and deep founda tions of chemical knowledge on which others may raise the superstructure. to cultivate in youth those powers of observation and of reasoning which lead to the best results, to waken in them a realizatir- of what chemistry means t country now and in the futu the safety, comfort, health and material wealth of our nation, this is the task of the highi school chemistry teacher."
