Norwegian service in the morning as us^iaV Friday evening business meeting of the church at 8 o'clock. During the week the pastor will be at Fairview and vicinity. LITTLE PREACHMENTS IV Precept and Example We are familiar with the words of the Apostle James —'Be ye doers of Our GROCERY store is the place to buy your candies. Why? Our GROCERY store "turns" money fast and we can, afford to sell A W A CANDY for an AWAY-DOWN price. Ours is the Store where the HUSTLE is. This means that we move goods fast and that you get fresh, pure, HEALTHY things to eat from us. AS- vr* vix--.**', the word, and not hearers only, de ceiving your own selves. (1.22) The world is fall of people who wish to inaugurate reforms of all kinds and they stump the country from end to end and agitate the adoption of ono Issue or another but doing very little rise. They cry out "putting the shoul der to the wheel," but reserve the right of handling the steering wheel themselves. Several years ago this country aws visited by "The Apostle of Aesthetidsm," Oscar Wilde. Peo ple, especially women, went "wild" over him, and his mission and his writings were lauded to the sides. And what waa he? A moral pesti lence, as he was soon after revealed to be, whom the state hid behind prison doors. And yet what ho wrote,' a good deal of it, ia not to be sneer ed at. He had brains, this fellow, but he did not use them to control his lusts and deeires. At present we have an apostle—of most anything—by the name of El bert Hubbard. He is an editor, lec turer, humorist, reformer and gen eral overseer of the East Aurora Roycrofters. This fellow also has brains, and to judge from his pic ture, good sized ones at that. He has written an awful lot of rot, but also a few good things. His "Message to Garcia," for instance, is destined, to live for tfges. But like Wilde, his brains run wild with him. Lately this reform apostle, this philosopher, whose teachings are to lift the peo ple to scaring heights and happiness, stood before a common city judge and plead guilty to the offense of making people soar on the wings of phraseB uttered only by the lewd, depraved, and the degenerate). He was al lowed to depart after paying a fine of $100.00, but by right he ought to sit like Wilde, behind prison bars. This same reformer is writing in the January number of his magazine about "Woman Suffrage." Of course he is for it and he says some fine things too. For instance:—"Woman, the mother of man, certainly should have a voice in every question and all questions that effect the well-be ing of herself and her children." But a very few years ago this same philosopher was seeking a divorce from his wife! A great many so-called Christians deserve all the criticism they get on account of their inconsistency, but they can hold their own with Elbert Hubbard any day. I. **«1 51W ii G. M. FEBRUARY 23 WOMAN'S DAY To the average voter one of the most remarkable phases of the Amer ican Socialist Party is its increased advocacy and support of the suffrage movement. Special committees and departments have been created in state and national organizations In order that greater attention may be devoted to the education of poten tial women voters, classes in civics, economcis and politics have been or ganized, social centers have been cre ated, and now their latest move is the setting aside of FEBRUARY 23 as National Woman's Day. On this day every man and woman, every official, lecturer and lay-mem ber will celebrate. Millions of leaf lets will be distributed. The entire Socialist Party will think, sing, talk and work for the industrial and po litical freedom of women. Be at the Star Theatre at 3 o'clock. You are welcome and seats are. free. LIBRARY NOTES The reference department of the library has been greatly enriched this week by the arrival of the twelve vol ume set of encyclopaedias known as the Nelson Loose-leaf edition. These books are not only valuable now, sup plying a long-felt need for a good, up-to-date set of ehcyclopaedias, but they are to be kept perpetually up to date by means of the loose-leaf idea. As fast as new material develops about subjects already treated this is sent to the library on pages uni form with the edition we have, and by unlocking the bindilig, just as is done in the loose-leaf ledger sys tem, this new material can be inserted and the old material removed if it has been superseded, or retained, if the new material is additional. Not only is the encyclopaedia thus kept in touch with the development of the world, "but if there are subjects on which one wants more information than the encyclopaedia contains or that it fails to treat of, a request sent in to their reference bureau with sufficient time allowed for re-search on the subject by some one qualified, will bring back to the library within three weeks or a month a fype-writ ten article covering the subject want ed, so that the resources of the en cyclopaedia are practically unlimited. The publishing firm, Thomas Nelson's Sons, a Scotch house of over a hun dred years' standing, are a guarantee of good work now and to come. The library ought to become the more use ful constantly because of this edition. The library will be open Saturday afternoon for both reading and cir culation of books, but closed for both in the evening.

A CROOK'S CROOK (Not by George Randolph Chester) Governor Glasscock of West Vir ginia is a Crook's crook. West Vir ginia is always in the republican col umn—safe by not leas than 20,000 votes. Four years ago Charles Swisher and Charles Scherr were the republican candidates for governor, and Judge Bennett, the democratic candidate, bid fair to put the state on the democratic side of the fence. Thirty days before election Senator Elkins took a day off at Washington and went down to Morgantown. Both Swisher and Scherr resigned and Glasscock became the republican can didate for governor, and was elected. Senator Elkins owned and controlled three-fourths of the coal lands of the state, and incidentally most of the railroads. Glasscock was his attor ney, and with Glasscock in the gov ernor's chair Elkins' hold on the state was absolute. He now had a per fect machine to coin the blood and brawn and the vast natural resources of West Virginia into golden shekels. And he was not particular as to the process. He was of the "system", for the "system" and possessed of the true capitalistic soul—a fabulous mon ster, a deaf thing, which has scales on its belly, and yet is not a lizard has warts on its back, and yet is not a toad a black, velvety, slimy, crawl ing creature, sometimes swift and sometimes slow of motion emitting no cry, but which stares at you, and is so terrible that nobody has ever seen it—a phantom, that you cannot grap ple. Senator Elkins stood high in the councils of the nation. He was rich and gave liberally to the churches and charitable institutions, finding thus the means of going to hell by the road to paradise. He is dead, but his spirit still lives. The fabulous monster still crawls in the crevices of the damp mines of West Virginia, and Governor Glass cock does its bidding. The coal miners of West Virginia needed more money with which to buy food and clothing for their wives and babies, and to furnish medical atten dance and hospital accomodations for the sick and maimed. They asked for it, but the "deaf thing" could not hear. Capitalism wanted more than its pound of flesh. Wages were reduced. The miners went on strike and have been battling now for over two years for the right to a living wage, Governor Glasscock has declared the mining district under martial law, and the commander of every organ ization of the West Virginia National Guard stands ready to shoot down his brother at an hours notice. Eviction proceedings were insti tuted against the striking miners and their families were driven from the company's -miserable shacks into the mountains. No quarter was given. One miner's wife begged to be left in the hut a few hours longer, but the "deaf thing" could not hear. She was carried bodily into the street and there gave birth to a babe before the official thugs had left her couch. Riots followed. Upwards of two hundred miners have been placed un der arrest—and "Mother Jones" with them—because it i& alleged that they posted notices threatening the life of Glasscock and two or three more of the "systems" pet hirelings. But be fore you judge of the truth of this charge, remember that nothing but "official business" is allowed to pass over the wires from the disturbed dis trict. 'The system is everywhere. It reaches into every church, every school and every home. 'It was to this same system—to the tyrants who were then fastened on the backs of the world's workers that He who died on Cavalry sent this message: "I am come to send fire on the earth." It meant war to the death, and only his premature death prevented its accomplishment. The world has had to wade through nearly twenty cen turies of blood and tears since then, [before a gleam of light again brings hope to the many millions of toilers who do the world's work. Socialism finds the working class being squeezed by exploitation as the python crushes its victim. So cialism also finds capitalism poison ing society with its usury as a ser pent poisons with its fangs. No one except the socialist has any remedy to offer for this state of affairs with all its attendant evils, and that rem edy is to raise the standard of revolt against the present system, and to replace it with a better—that will give justice to the workers and peace to the world. After deliberating: for two hours a jury at Foreman brought in a ver difct for $4,000 in favor of Mrs. Fran Pietric vs Con Weaver, as damages for the death of her husband. The husband was killed in a drunken brawl in Weaver's pool room.
