VOLUME 13 LIFT WEST VIRGINIA No chain is stronger than its weakest link. The fatal weakness that has characterized the work of this administration from itsception two years ago has been its eagerness to propose laws, carelessness in drafting them, haste in committee action, and stubborn refusal to permit intelligent amendment in either House or Senate after the party brand had been affixed by the all powerful caucus. Every American citizen has had to help pay for these costly experiments. There will be still more to pay until the errors have been corrected by thoughtful, intelligent legislation. There is now abroad in the land an old truth newly realized----that the fabric of justice cannot endure where the laws are not impartially administered. Passion and prejudice are fickle henchmen, fawning at the feet of him today, whom they may destroy tomorrow. This truth had its most memorable manifestation in the days of the French Revolution, when many a mushroom leader rose to power over the mob battered corpse of some popular idol, who had fallen under the suspicion of the rabble through the efforts of him or them, who desired to occupy his place, only in turn, to be escorted to the gillotine upon charges preferred by a IMP Regul W. A Blunder new favorite. The futile endeavors of Leo Frank to thwart "Georgia justice" have caused the people of this country to comprehend the danger which threatens to assume the character of the fabled fox that eagerly accepted the invitation of one game cock to eat his hated fellow fowl, only to find in the moment of his satisfaction over the death of his brother, himself being devoured just as eagerly. As long as the victims of passion and prejudice were confined to persons whose ancestors came from the west of Africa instead of Asia there was no great outcry in the land; no circulation of petitions; and no fears expressed that the temple of justice was threatened with demolition at the hands of vandals. After hearing for so long, is cases affecting the rights of "a mere man," the set formula of the Supreme Court of the United States: "This court is without jurisdiction in the matter," it is refreshing to hear two members of that august tribunal joining in a dissenting opinion that reflects the enlightened public opinion of today. Nothing but the relization that happiness and safety of the member of society, cannot be secured by any manner of means, while any other individual is deprived of the same, can save this country from the horrors that will follow the raising of the red flag of anarchy.

Club No. 6 under that monarch and uniting --- --- ADVERTISE IN THE McDOWELL TIMES, IT'S A PATING INVESTMENT. VOLUME 13 Out of the Mud---May 20-21 Good Roads Days---Every Citizen Urged to Come Out On the twenty-third of April, Governor Hattfield issued his proclamation for the observance of Good Roads Day throughout West Virginia on May 20 and 21. This action simply carries out the plans of the governor enacted last year when he conceived of the idea of using this method of road agitation. On these days everyone will be able to acquaint himself with local needs and conditions and in this manner have brought home to him the importance of highway improvement. As was the case last year, Chief Road Engineer, A. D. Williams, and the State Board Bureau will have general supervision of the work all over West Virginia and with that end in view the Bureau is perfecting, as rapidly as possible, an organization in every county of the state. The first move was to communicate with the county courts and have them ap point men in the various districts who will have charge of the work in each locality and in this way it is noped that all efforts will be exercised in the proper direction and no work lost, owing to lack of efficiency. The Bureau is getting in touch with the various fraternal organizations and urging them to arouse their members to turn out on this occasion and if only a small percentage of these men respond to the call of the governor wonderful results will be accomplished. Also the observance of these two Good Roads Days is to be taken up with the board of trade of every town and city so that they may co-operate with the county court of their county and see that the movement is thoroughly advertised and that no means are spared to make it a success in every particular. Every citizen of the state should consider it a personal duty to see that these two days count. A great deal was done last year but this year we can and will do more. The value of the work is not to be measured by the number of miles of highway constructed or improved but by the more lasting agitation that is created in favor of better roads. Signalized the Legislative Career of the Present Administration The Democratic tariff bill, first in the articles of Democratic faith, and the one achievement on which naturally they would be expected to spend their most exhaustive study and care, was so clumsily executed that it failed to accomplish the results intended. The failure was due to crude, hasty, unscientific, secret legislative methods. Designed to furnish sufficient revenue to finance the United States treasury, it has proven absolutely inadequate for that purpose. In writing the tariff bill the Democrat dimly foresaw a possible reduction in custom receipts, although they did not know how much and did not ascertain the facts. So the income tax provision was incorporated, in the hope that it would make up for any miscalculations in the tariff bill, although the Democrat did not know and did not ascertain the facts. But what happened when these provisions went into effect? Customs receipts were millions of dollars below the amount needed from that source, and at the same time collections from the income tax fell many millions below the amount needed from that source. The inevitable resent was to leave the treasury without sufficient money for its needs. The failure was caused by carelessness. Had there been conscientiousness, open consideration of the revenue bill, sufficient to enable members of Congress to study and understand it, the reduction in revenue could have been properly safeguarded. But instead of getting accurate information and adequate estimates, the Democrats guessed at it. And they guessed wrong. The results of this first mistake should have been a warning. But the startling fact remains that the Democrat committed the same kind of an error again. Forced by their heedlessness to provide more revenue, they passed a "war tax" in time of peace. Based on a guess instead of an estimate, the war tax did not produce money enough. For months the receipts of the treasury have been daily falling short of expenditures at a rate reaching at times more than a million dollars a day. According to official estimates the deficit will probably amount to one hundred million dollars by July The McDowell Times. IMPORTANT! Regular Work at the Following Operations: W. H.

D., reputed to be America's greatest Rural Church expert has been secured for the State Sunday School Convention to be held at Charleston, May 12-13-14. The Committee who has the building of the State Convention program in charge believe that our nation cannot achieve permanent greatness unless it is based upon the well being of the great farmer class—the people who live on the soil. With this in mind, the convention is to specialize on the problems of the rural church. Dr. Wilson is a sociologist by training; a minister by experience. He has had a large experience in both country and city work, and out of the richness of his experience as a successful rural church worker, he is to speak and teach. In this day when the specialist is a necessity to those who plan efficient work, his message will be of exceeding value. The religion of farmers and those who produce, has been a life time study with Dr. Wilson. He has gained great emence and distinction as the prophet of a better country church; a church that sees its great possibility for leadership in the development and rebuilding of coun- PORTANT MINER lar Work at the Thomas Coal Company Thomas Coal Company Crystal Coal & Coke C Flat Top Coal Mining Modoc Coal Mining Co Apply quick.

Kern is Quoted as Having Said Senate Would Confirm Negro's Appointment. Washington, April 30.—Senator Kern. Democratic leader of the Senate, was quoted today by Bishop A. Walters, Negro, as having given assurance to the Bishop that if a Negro is appointed Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia he will be confirmed. Bishop Walters, who supported Wilson for president in 1912, called at the White House and on leaving said apparently the only thing holding up the appointment to this office is the President's uncertainty as to whether he can get a Negro confirmed by the Senate. Bishop Walters stated, however, that senator Kern and other Democratic leaders of Senate assured him that confirmation would be obtained. This statement created surprise as the general understanding here was that Senator Kern would be glad to see his friend John Keegan, land the place. leadership of Messrs.

Johnson, pastor Ebenezer Presbyterian Church, who acted master of ceremonies, most timely funeral services were held at the First Baptist Church in Kimball, beginning at 10:15 o'clock a.m. and lasting till 12 noon. Each train going both east and west brought great crowds of friends and spectators to witness their last public respect to a man whom they had learned to know and love as a great man of the race. Some few minutes before the services began, there were to be seen on the stage, Prof. R. P. Sima, principal of the Bluefield Colored Institute; Revs. W. R. Burger, S. M. Mune, J. E. Prior, G. W. Woody, I. H. Hall and R. P. Johnson, Master of Ceremonies. The members of his profession who represent the Flat Top Medical Association were Drs. N. L. Edward, E. W. Lomax and W. C. Mitchell of Bluefield, G. N. Marshall, Joseph E. Brown, W. L. Colson and W. V. Bridgeford of Keystone, E. L. Youngue of Welch, A. S. Adams of Northfors and R. C. Harrison of Kimball, all of whom were present and appeared to be deeply affected in their great loss. "UNION CHOIR." As an additional attestation of the high esteem in which Dr. Viney was held an impromptu choir representing five different churches, namely—the M. E. choir, Northlork, the First Baptist and Presbyterian churches of Kimball, union choir of Keystone representing both the Baptist and Presbyterian churches united and rendered music appropriate to to the occasion.

Dr. Viney was born December 12, 1877, at Pearisburg, Giles County, Va. He being the fourth child born to Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Viney. He began his educational career by attending the public schools at Pearisburg at the age of seven years. After finishing the public school of the aforesaid place, he taught school one year in his home town, after which he entered the Bluefield colored Institute about the year 1898, finishing the normal course in this school 1893. He then matriculated in the medical department of Shaw University 1983 and received the degree of Doctor of Medicine from that University in 1983. He took the State Board examination in this state in July of the same year, passing with high marks in all subjects. After practicing his chosen profession with Dr. R. C. Harrison of Kimball for a few months he located at Northfork, W. Va., where he rapidly built up an enviable practice, accumulated for himself some of the world's goods, but more than all made everybody whom he met his friend. At the age of 16 he made a profession of religion and connected himself with the First Baptist Church of Pearisburg, living thereafter a conccientious christian. In June, 1913, he married Miss Eleanor Dockery, of North Carolina. There was born to them one child. In the short time of his married life he proved himself a devoted husband and a kind and loving father. He died May 3rd, 1915, after a short illness, at the age of 37 years, 4 months and 21 days, leaving a wife, one child, a mother, one brother, two sisters, two brothers-in-law and a host of friends to IMPORTANT WANTED operations: Greek utto, W.

His life was an exemplification of a pure moral man, and though he is dead he yet lives and will always live in the hearts of those who knew him. "None knew him but to love him." Dr. Viney's life as a christian was excellently presented by Rev. L. A. Watkins, pastor of Algoma Baptist church. Dr. Viney's "usefulness in the community" was portrayed by Rev. W. R. Burger, who also impressively made mention of him as a member of the common council of Northtork. He very feelingly mentioned many acts of Dr. Viney which showed the bigness of his heart and the great weight in his life for good. His life as a physician was ably, eloquently and very pathetically treated by Dr. L. E. Youngue of Welch, one of the best speakers in this state. Dr. R. C. Harrison made a short but strong talk on his life as a loss to the Flat Top Medical Association. Prof. R. P. Sims, principal of the Bluefield Colored Institute, spoke of him as a man. He declared the highest and best thing that could possibly be said about any man was that he was "a man" in every sense of the word. The body was nicely cared for by the leading undertakers of this end of the state, Sinkford & Warren of Bluefield. The dignified way in which they conducted the funeral service, and the ease with which they handled the great crowd who viewed the body was to be congratulated. The body was taken to Pearlsburg, Va., for interment in the family cemetery. Some of the best representative white and colored people of the county were present to pay their last respects to a big man. Something important on page four. Don't fail to read it. A proper appreciation of the services of Abraham Lincoln does not seem to be shown by his son. Robert T. Lincoln has had the best of opportunities to see that emancipation is by no means complete. As the head of a great corporation sharing in the excessive profits of transportation monopolies, his business experience must tell him that workers are still enslaved. This must be evident from the fact that he can get all the Negroes he needs to serve as porters on his cars, and need pay them no more, if as much, as it would have cost him in antebellum times to feed, clothes and otherwise care for a slave engaged in similar work. Were these porters and their families today his personal property he would surely find the expense of keeping them in good condition far above what he pays them, unless the traveling public would then, as now, contribute to their keep in addition to paying an exhorbitant price for accommodation. For this, however, Robert Lincoln is not to be censured. Not individuals, but conditions not generally understood in Abraham Lincoln's time are responsible for enlavement of the sons of those whom he emancipated. Wherein the son of the great Lincoln deserves blame is that he has done nothing to aid those who are trying to finish his father's work. On the contrary, he has opposed them. Toward the emancipation movement of today he occupies the position that was held by the pro-slavery men of the 50s and NT! ger early 60s. And the difference between Abraham Lincoln and his son is typical of the difference between the party of Abraham Lincoln and the tory Republican party of today.—Sun Herald. GREAT ADVANCE In the School Work of Adkin District The improvement in the schools of Adkin Dist., especially the colored schools, during the last two years has been so marked as to merit more than passing notice. The beginning of the better order of things was the furnishing of free text books and the raise of teacher's salaries, thereby rendering possible better work on the part of all the punis (for theretofore, not more than half of the pupils were supplied with all of the books needed) and led to more efficient teaching under the spur of more energetic district supervision. For some reason, there has been no disposition on the part of the colored residents of the district until the last year or so, to take that special interest in their schools, which the exceptionally good facilities for public education provided by the Board of Education ought to have aroused. With as good school buildings as there are anywhere in the state, and with the highest salaried teachers in McDowell county, and, probably, in the state, there (Continued on Page Two.)

MURDER FOR REVENGE NUMBER Charles Forest Alleged to Have Stabbed Will Haden--Testimony in Whiskey Case Cause Will Hayden, a stranger, or in the underworld, and an alleged "stool pigeon" for prohibition, was stabbed Thursday about dark and died from the effects of the wound in a few minutes thereafter. Charles Forest who had been working on the extra force was arrested charged with the murder. It is alleged that more than two weeks ago Forest was arrested upon a charge of "beetlegging" by Officer McFarlan upon information furnished by Hayden. Forest remained in jail until Tuesday before the alleged murder when he was tried at Welch and acquitted of the charge of violating the "Blue law." He returned to Keystone, settled with his attorney for defending him, and it is stated that on Thursday evening was the first time he had met Hayden since his release from jail. There were several eye witnesses to the meeting but none saw the knife or beard words pass between the two men. Some of the witnesses at the preliminary hearing which took place before Recorder W. E. Stewart the same evening testified that they saw Forest strike Hayden, others saw no blow struck at all but saw Hayden fall, rise and fall again. When onlookers went to his assistance blood was running from a wound and he expired in a few minutes. Forest went down the road toward Eckman and when closely pressed by pursurers attempted to make his escape to the mountain but was captured by Officer Calfee of Eckman. When seen by a reporter of the Times a few minutes after arrest Forest appeared to be either drunk or under the influence of some drug. He talked incoherently and alleged that the knife tound was one given him by Officer McFarian that evening. Hayden was buried Friday by the city and Forest was sent to Welch to await the action of the next grand jury. WEST VIRGINIA COAL MEN Perfect Organization and Vest Governing Power in Executive Committee—Members HUNTINGTON, W.

FRIDAY, MAY 7, 1945 LAUDABLE PROTEST Boston is having a time similar to the days immediately following the passage of the Fugitive Slave Law" prior to the Civil War. Tom Dixon, author of the "Clansman," and "Leopard Spoet," the most violent and malicious libels printed concerning the Negro in years has conceived another attack upon the race more harmful and dangerous than the two books mentioned. This effort of malice and hate is a photo play entitled "The Birth of a Nation," based upon "The Clansman," an effort was made to show the picture in Boston which almost precipitated a riot and has brought forth such a howl of protest as even protesting Boston has not heard in more than a half century. Too much cannot be said in praise of Editor Trotter and his white and colored supporters for their manly stand against this dangerous play. intended to create race hate and prejudice the consequence of which it is impossible to foretell. It seems that a concerted effort is being made by the enemies of the race to blacken its fair name before people of states and communities that have always been friendly. It was just two weeks ago that Editor Smith of the Cleveland Gazette wrote a letter requesting Governor Willis of Ohio to prevent the picture entitled "The Nigger" from being shown in that state and the governor immediately stopped the play. Thus far West Virginia has been free from such vile, vicious, lewd slanders upon a race as "The Clansman" and "The Nigger" and it is hoped that the theatre managers will not attempt in the future to show such pictures. They create race prejudice and hate and are liable to cause rlot and bloodshed and all lovers of the fair name of West Virginia wishes all the people to dwell together in peace and harmony and will not tolerate any effort to cause strife. WORTHY In the death of Dr. S. A. Viney of Northfork, McDowell County and the State at large loses a good and worthy citizen. Though only 37 years of age he had made good in his profession and endeared himself to the people with whom he came in daily contact. As a graduate of the Bluefield Colored Institute he was deeply interested in the success of that institution and did much to advance the educational interests of the people in this section. He was this active in all things which tended to the general uplift, an unassuming man of the people. He was reared in this section and spent his life here (except the part spent away in college) and by his life and conduct he inspired the confidence and respect of all regardless of race, religion or politics. It will be hard to hit his place.

THE MINING CAMP PHYSICIAN place their interest in an honored profession, where suffering can be relieved and results accomplished, above the accumulation of wealth. Like the average country doctor, among whom some of the brightest lights in the medical profession are bid from the world, he is a faithful worker, regardless of the reward. And his greatest reward is in the love and gratitude of the people among whom he labors. In recent years the operating companies have improved in every possible way the facilities for aiding the camp physician in his work, especially in case of accidents, and while hundreds of nines are well equipped, the arrangements at Glea White and Stotesbury have come to a writer's attention who was recently in the field. Here the doctors' offices are directly connected by telephone with all parts of the Thoroughly Renovated (Continued From Page One.) Hotel from Station EIGH STREET, BLUEFIELD, W. Va. OWNERS AND PROPRIETORS mines, and it is not unusual in case of an accident to see the doctor arrive at the drift mouth or top of shaft with full knowledge of the nature of the accident before those nearer know that there has been one. The chief surgeon of the company operating these mines maintain an up-to-date hospital in Becklev, to which all serious cases are taken for treatment. At each mine the doctor has a room in the same building with the wash house, where he can take injured men for immediate treatment and where he has all the facilities for the proper cleansing and dressing of a wound before sending the patient to his home or to the hospital. THE DUAL STANDARDS OF MAN (By Prof. L. A. Dickason.) Man, for the most part, has two religions—one of love and one of hate or amity and enmity and he practices the second more than the first because he feels that religion of amity is incomplete without the opposing factor enmity, and that there must come that double standard that life may have its possibilities as well as its impossibilities. We are safe in saying that man practices selfishness more than unselfishness. Some people infer that we must combine them that we may be able to get a satisfactory effect. This interference leads us to ask: Can a man have a good character without sacrifice? Sacrifice does not mean the giving up of money to one's detriment or friends and sane pleasures to one's disadvantage but the ethical system of allowing good and great things to take precedence over basic ones. The question paramount in our minds today is: Which is the more natural, in man, that religion of amity or toat of empathy. If both had had the same cultivation all things considered we feel that we could conclude differently. We should limit the statement that a combination of the two will probably produce a good effect. The individual so seldom stops to consider the exact proportions of the two that he uses in bringing about a desired end. Too much laxity on the one hand or too much leeway on the other is a conservative translation. The prime consideration is a socialization of the two.

Man at his best is a selfish being. Too often he feels that religion of amity is practiced in his group and religion of enmity is practiced without his group. Translated into daily experiences he loves his friends and hates his enemies. He does not care to look beyond his own door step for the purpose of seeing beauty in somebody's else yard. Man has too much of the forgiving but not the forgetting philosophy and he allows the two to set the standard of his morals. THE STANDARDS OF WAR AND ECONOMICS There is a class of men which argues that war has exterminated the weak and inefficient races. By the increase of antagonism there is a mutual struggle for existence and intelligence. War has given us larger societies because conquest and unions have been the outgrowth of war and this is the basis on which many argue the necessity. War, we might say, has a double standard as it is the result of man's desire for superiority. It has is disadvantages as well as its advantages. It is very evident to all of us that war kills off the bravest, represses industry and renders people careless. The only reconciliation for war carries us back to that, amity within my group and empathy without my group, idea. We may safely say that whatever separates societies tends to create hostilities. When we have a struggle for existence in the economic world there is a kind of inexplainable hostility created. Tradition separate and cause hostility. Some of us hold to the same old political, religious and moral principles because it has been told that those were the ideals of our ancestors. We too often follow an old custom because our forefathers followed the same old custom as tradition has told us. If man will listen, we should to say that the past has gone, the present is there and the future, where is it. Unless we do these things on a progressive basis and forget those old biased customs, race hostilities will ever seem natural to people making up that race. Intelligence should cause a realism of room for all at the front as well as a consciousness of kind. Those whom we think different are too often misunderstood and a certain group then begins to suspect them. We would urge less imagination and more intelligence as a slogan of man's stand- Notice to Take Depositions. To Sarah Potet: Take notice that on the 31st day of May, 1915, at the office of H. J.

The sole justification as we see it are the diverse standards. Maue feels that another man will probably become more efficient than he at some special work, then he begins to practice the double standard as he feels a justification on an economic basis. Too often we are prone to let our petty prejudices enter in our industrial lives because we feel that we are being bandcapped because of some one else who is seemingly more proficient. IS EQUITY OF WAR AND ECONOMIC STANDARDS POSSIBLE? We should have a common basis of equity. Too much is based on the spontaneous product of the situation. When man becomes director of his own faith and conserver of his own thoughts war will be less severe and amity and enmity will have a compromising place in man's standards of right and justice Consciousness of kind and place to stand unmolested will do much to lessen the desire for war, both physical and psychological. Amity and enmity are influences very great and factors very basic in determining the duad standards of man. Indeed what shall become of this great universe when amity and enmity may meet and work on neutral ground. Where shall humanity project itself when man's religion and morals shall take precedence over the underlying principles of war and economics as are practiced by this civilized man of today.

Daring the last two years the work of the schools of the district has more near- ty approached acommnnal character than ever before. Harmony and active co- operation between the teachers and the district supervisor have not been want ing, exewpt in rare instances. Hoth the lintrict superintendent and the teachers have been lew perfunctory aud machine like in the dischange of their respective duties. A real, human interest has been awakened, which has permeated parents, pupils aud teachers, Of course, auch « change could not have been wrought withont « moving spirit, and that mov- ing spirit has been vygorous, helpful, #o- eit we and firm district supervision. ‘The district institutes nave been affairs in whieh the whote ierriot felt am inter ext and had an active part. The inauguration of the soainl center and community meeting wae not met with the colinew: and indifference on the Part of the people that many teachers predicted and feared. On the contrary, the several wchool communities have seized with avidity upon the chance to share in te educational work of their neighborhoods, and have eagerly accept el and, for the mont part, erditably per- formed such parts ax have been amignest them by the district superintendent and teachers Many years of continous teaching leave the persons so engaged with a ‘xlamy," jpane expression, except in those by no Means numerous casein which an en- Uhusiaatic devotion to the profewion hae kept the heart young and anseared by the monotonous grind, bat any syxges- tion of amore life-like way ot doing things invariably meets with opposition from the teachers, "though they may re frain from outward expremion of seb oppomition. The colored teachers of Adkin District, and perhaps the white one, wo, had concluded that the reading circle course Was of no great ume or benefit other than ts mcure the wale of books for author who enjoyed the friendship of eur educa- tional authorities. It required, there fore, patient and long sustained egort on the part of the dintriet superintendent 0 destroy thie prejudice and awaken an interest in the remling circle work which should be wif supporting. The rexuirement made by the Diat. Sopt that teachers write outlines of each week's study and send such outlines ws hin, together with the leading and per- mal part taken by him in she reading circle tneetings in whieh the teachers did not dimlain to recite upon the parte of the books previously outlined, betore en- kaging in general discussion, rewulted in an entire change of view by the teachers, and their interest was #0 thoroughly quickened, that it bide fair to remain permanent, if the «ame conditions con- tinue, that brought it forth---not the leat consejnential of which were the freqnen- cy, regularity, helpfuinem and indiserim inate visite te all of the schools by the district Supt., Mr. O.
