"HERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN, UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIDED BY GAIN" The Pioneer ESTABISHED 1882. Park Rangers Good Scouts "To be able to render the best service in patrolling, the park ranger must be properly armed, mounted, and clothed. He must feel that his weapons are superior to those in the hands of any outlaw to whom he may be opposed; his mount be swifter, and his clothing adequate to protect him against the rigors of the climate of his locality." Thus spoke Col. L. M. Brett, U. S. A., superintendent of the Yellowstone, at the recent National Parks Conference at Berkeley, Cal. Col. Brett is one of the most experienced Indian fighters in the national service. "A park ranger about to start on his journey, in addition to his arms, horse and equipment, should have a piece of canvas with which he can made a canvas shelter effective against any weather, rations ample for the journey, cooking utensils, field glasses, a map of his park and contiguous territory, compass, notebook and pencil, ax, first-aid packet, and telephone tester. As soon as he leaves the ranger station he becomes a scout who must oppose his wits and energy against those whose life is spent in the open among the wild animals and who have taken from these animals those characteristics that we know are possessed by the fox, the coyote, the timber wolf, and the mountain lion. He who rides the trail in a perfunctory and aimless manner is but a joke to such men. "To cope with such people he must learn from the Indian, who avails himself of every sign and indication that nature or wild life can give. The Indian never places himself upon the sky line until he is thoroughly satisfied that there is nothing within the range of vision to detect him. He will lie sometimes for an hour with his head against a bush, field glasses to his eyes, and scan the country, and then again scan it, for any sign of human life or for any movement among the wild animals which indicates the stranger in their midst. "The scout does not remain on the trail that has been beaten by somebody else—his enemy would not be there—but he is taking advantage of every inequality of the ground, of swale and the coulees, the branches of trees along the stream banks, and the shady side of every ridge, observing carefully for indications of trails, fresh signs of horse, or any imprint of the foot. His eye must be so trained that even the bending of the grass would tell him a story and would arouse his suspicion. "He should never build a fire by daylight in the country where he has reason to believe the enemy may be lurking. At night, in some canyon or in some sheltered spot where the blaze can be seen but a very few feet, he can build his small fire and cook his food for the evening and the next day. It is well for him to have enough food cooked ahead so that he can remain on the trail, or in pursuit of an enemy for 48 hours without having to stop to cook. "In his moments of leisure when resting he should make careful notes of all that he sees and anything out of the ordinary that he can not understand should be carefully described so that he may present this to his superior officer on his return for interpretation. Where he is called to points remote from his usual patrol route he should indicate a journey on his map by use of his compass. He should be careful to note the condition of the animals and whenever possible to count those of the different species for the information of headquarters. Any indication of sickness among the animals is of the greatest importance and should be reported at once, because epidemics are almost as frequent among animals as among human beings. Interference in any way, shape, or manner with the natural formations should be reported. Dead fish on the surface of the water is a dangerous symptom and would indicate fishing by use of explosives; and generally speaking, any indication that nature or any of her creatures has been disturbed should be given the closest scrutiny and reported to the officer in charge. "Men who will lend themselves conscientiously to this work are not common, and in their training it is of the greatest importance that their faculties of observation be cultivated to the extreme limit. These men must feel a pride in the work and strive to have their section the very best patrolled one within the park. We will not get a force sufficiently educated along the lines that I have indicated unless we all unite in systematic work and instruction, which can not be too comprehensive nor too painstaking." SEWER AND COOK WED. A wedding took place at the Gipsy Scot ranch, south of Oakesdale, Washington, when Ernest Guyot, a sack sewer in the threshing crew of Charles Matney, of Rockford, and Irene Whitehead, of Rockford, who has been cooking for the crew, were married standing on a pile of sacks of newly threshed grain. Threshing operations were suspended during the ceremony, and the whole crew gathered around as witnesses. Rev. J. A. Hedges performed the ceremony, and the young couple were heartily cheered by the crew. WORE SHOES BUT LITTLE William E. Mooney, a farmer who never wore shoes except in winter, died Friday night at the age of 92, in Union, New Jersey. He ascribed his longevity to his custom of goiug about in his bare feet. Even when there was frost on the ground Mooney went about in his bare feet. He smoked all his life, but never more than a pipeful a day. He never touched liquor for medicinal purposes. The First Negro Prelate The first bishop of Negro blood on the American continent to wear the miter was Right Rev. Francisco Jovier de Luna Victoria, who was the son of a freed slave who pursued the vocation of a charcoal burner, near Boea de la Rio Grande, and peddled it on his back in the streets of Panama, as one there may see there many Negroes still doing. This old man lived for no other purpose than to rear and educate his son and offer him for the sacred ministry, and he saw his purpose accomplished. Luna Victoria was not only a man of virtue and learning, but a successful man of affairs as well. When the see of Panama became vacant by the promotion of Bishop Juan de Casterida to the see of Cuzco, Peru, it having been offered to and refused by several members of religious orders, the miter fell upon the head of the priest Francisco Jovier de Luna Victoria, a native of the country, who had ascended in the degrees of the ecclesiastical hierarchy by his merits and virtues. He was well received and accepted by the people of Panama in those days, when it was known as a "proud and wealthy city." He took possession of the diocese on the 15th of August, 1751. The new prelate, it is recorded, furnished at his own expense the cathedral and enriched it with jewelry and precious vestments, placed the bells on the towers and was transferred to the see of Trujillo, Peru, in 1750. He continued to furnish the money until the building was completed on the 3d of December, 1760. He was the first man of Negro blood on the American continent to wear the miter and the flowing robes of a bishop of the Roman Catholic church. GOOD BUSINESS RULES. Business men in business hours, attend only to business affairs. Make your business known in few words, without loss of time. Let your dealings with strangers be most carefully considered and true friendships duly appreciated. A mean act will soon recoil, and a man of honor will be esteemed. Leave "tricks of trade" to those whose education was never completed. Treat all with respect, confide in few, wrong no man. Be never afraid to say no, and always be prompt to acknowledge and rectify wrong. Leave nothing for tomorrow that should be done today. Because a friend is polite, do not think his time is valueless. Have a place for everything, and everything in its place. To preserve long friendship, keep a short credit; the way to get credit is to be punctual; the way to preserve it is not to use it too much. Settle often; have short accounts. Trust no man's appearance; they Press. BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED SEPTEMBER 25, 1915. VO are often deceptive, and assumed for the purpose of obtaining credit. Rogues generally dress well. The rich man generally are plain men. Be well satisfied before you give a credit, that those to whom you give it are safe men to be trusted. UNCLE EPH'S PHILOSOPHY.

Miss Florence McFarlane, a delegate from London, England, is going to live among Negroes, she announced in an address before the New Thought Congress, at San Francisco, to test the practicability of universal brotherhood. "If I can live happily among the blacks," she said, "if I can love them as I love the people of my own race, then I will know that our dream of brotherhood for all races may come true." History is a voice forever sounding across the centuries the laws of right and wrong. Opinions alter, manners change, creeds rise and fall, but the moral law is written on the tablets of eternity. For every false word or unrighteous deed, for cruelty and oppression, for lust or vanity, the price has to be paid at last—not always by the chief offenders, but paid by some one. Justice and truth alone endure and live. Injustice and falsehood may be long lived, but doomsday comes at last to them in French revolutions and other terrible ways.—James Anthony Froude. HOTWEATHER A BLESSING. The unprecedented hot wave that blanketed the western section of the country was a blessing to the people at large, despite the fact that it kept the residents of the cities sweltering. Following the season of heavy rains the heat is doing splendid work, the forecaster says, in bringing to maturity the great grain crops in the middle west, the cotton crop in the south and the hay crop in the east. History. How Girls Ought To Be Trained How Girls Ought To Be Trained Every woman should know how to sew. There is a mistaken notion in masculine minds that every woman does know how to sew. But this is by no means a general ruling. There are quite a number of the fair sex who have no skill wherever with the needle and thread and are quite unable to mend, much less to make their own attire. When the first movements were made toward the higher education of women, the movements which originated the important women's colleges and educational centers of today, the effort to improve feminine education and raise it above the mediocre instruction of early days went to the other extreme, and Greek and Latin and mathematics usurped the place of the domestic arts. Dressmaking and homecraft in all its branches had no place in the curriculum of the modern college girl, and the young lady who came back from her finishing school might be very learned in literature and the sciences, but was very little use when it came to sewing and dusting and the many duties of ornary home life. Now the pendulum is swinging back again, and one is glad to see that even the most advanced of girls' schools include housewifery and other useful accomplishments in their list of subjects. It is perfectly easy to be studious and thoroughly well educated, to have a good working knowledge of the arts and sciences, to know languages and history, and yet be able to handle a needle and cook a dinner. So many quite young girls are inclined to think this is impossible. They feel that floury hands and an intimate acquaintance with a dustpan and brush are things to be avoided. A time comes now and again in the life of nearly every woman which demands the performance of these simple duties, and the girl who is totally unprepared for such emergencies may find herself in a sorry plight indeed. There is infinite wisdom in teaching girls in their teens to make their own clothes, to cook and to clean and make up a room, and there are fortunately many mothers who instruct their daughters themselves in these matters. A girl will not be wearied with needlework if her handiwork produces a new and dainty gown for her own adornment, and cutting out, tacking and stitching are double in interest when the completed garment will be something to be proud of. Hard Water. The streams of water used in hydraulic mining are said to be so swift that if one tried to back into them with a sword the weapon would fly to pieces. The water is moving so rapidly that it has no time to yield beneath the stroke and in consequence is like a bar of iron. A small bag cannot be made to contain what is large. A short rope cannot be used to draw water from a deep well.—Chinese Proverb.

Bouldin, editor, is striking mob murder, man burning and all forms of lawlessness hard blows at this time. Although a Texas publication, and knowing that the State in which it is published is infested with lynchers, it strikes from within and without, ringing clear as a bell against all forms of lawlessness. In conclusion, it is fitting that we say, bravo! Brother Bouldin, and may your kind of colored men become more plentiful in every section of our great country. a. The man who says that colored women are devoid of virtue, and have no regard for purity of character, is an individual absolutely without any compunction of conscience whatever. Of all the women in the world, no class of them anywhere are more to be commended for their love of chastity than are those of our race. This is true, too, in the face of the all too patent fact that every means known to the wily and unscrupulous libertine who filches the virtue of all the women who succumb to his iniquitous cajolery is used to destroy the priceless heritage of their pure womanhood. Hon. John T. McGraw, of Grafton, Democratic National Committee from West Virginia, has our sympathy in the financial misfortunes which have overtaken him and which we hope will only temporarily inconvenience Mr. McGraw. No man in the State has done more for its development than has the gentleman named above, and for him to be interfered with at this time as the result of a business reverse would indeed be a calamity. As to any intentional wrong doing on the part of the man, we are of the opinion that such an idea would be foreign to his nature, and that if given a reasonable time, he will prove to all those with whom he has had dealings that his "word is his bond," and every cent he owes will be paid. --- United States Court convened on Tuesday, with His Honor, Hon. A. G. Dayton, of Philippi, presiding. The Judge was from the start considered by those who knew him a worthy successor of the late Judge John J. Jackson, and the able way in which he administers the business of his court shows that Theodore Roosevelt made no mistake in selecting him for the federal bench. Judge Dayton is notefl for his comprehensive grasp of the law, and in no better way does he show it than when charging a grand jury. He chooses his words well, makes plain to the jurors their duties, indulges in no absturse or unnecessary verbiage, shows them the almost absolute necessity of certain Federal statutes, and never loses sight of the fact when addressing the jurors to impress upon them that in arriving at their conclusions they should be mature in their deliberations and impartial in their findings. It is really a treat to the layman, as well as the lawyer who is afforded a chance to listen to Judge Dayton when charging a grand jury. In concluding his charge, the Judge drew a very vivid word picture, and told the gentlemen to whom he was speaking, that the whole body of the law was "to live uprightly, injure no man, and render to every man his own," and in saying this he spoke a truism which we are sorry does not prevail the world over. ```markdown ``` EDITOR J.

The mayor of Atlanta, the editor of a Marietta paper, and all the other endorsers of the mob that murdered Leo Frank, in making their excuses for that act invariably place emphasis on the South's reverence for woman. They point to the lynching of Frank as proof of the distance they will go to protect woman, or to avenge any crime against her. This chivalric attitude toward the weaker sex, highly commendable as it is, does not appear to have extended to legislative halls, however, as Georgia is far down the list of states having laws for the protection of girls and young women. If a girl is an orphan, or the daughter of dependent parents, she may go to work in a factory in Georgia when she is eight years of age. Otherwise she must be fourteen to enjoy the privilege of laboring in a factory, but as there are no inspectors to see that the girls really are fourteen, it is said that one-third of all the factory children in Georgia are under that age. The age of consent in Georgia is ten years. It is not lower, if as low, in any state of the union. Granting all that Georgians say about the South's protection of women, they could boast of it more becomingly if they surrounded the girls—the future women—with more safeguards. Wheeling Register. The article printed above is so truthful regarding a large section of the South's supposed regard for virtue that we take pleasure in reproducing it. Then again, the fact that the Register is the leading Democratic daily-newspaper in the State, and is naturally allied to the South, makes its statements ones which are deserving of the most careful consideration and consequent reflection over conditions, which in many instances make our so-called Anglo-Saxon morality a roaring farce. HAS SERVED TWO JUDGES A Wheeling paper is authority for the statement that Mr. Henry Lee, of Parkersburg, hasn't missed a term of federal court in the "Nail City" for twenty years. He is 63 years of age, but as spry as a youth and asserts he will be at every term for the next 20 years to come. And from the way he looks, it is highly probable that his ambition will be realized. Officially this well known man is designated as head bailiff, but he is really the personal valet and faithful attendant of Judge Alston Gordon Dayton, the learned jurist who presides over the United States Court for the Northern District of West Virginia. Lee began his court experience during the administration of Judge Jackson about 20 years ago. At that time he was an ordinary bailiff in the court and operated an up-to-date torsorial parlor in Parkersburg as a side line. Three years before Judge John J. Jackson's resignation Mr. Lee sold out his barber 3-in-One is a light, pure oil company ground that travels pumps. 3-in-One manufactures perfectly-saving machines, typewriters, bicycles, locks, clocks, pumps, lawnmowers—everything that uses woods or in your home or office. 3-in-One on a soft cloth ectoms and polish furniture and woodwork.

When the judge arose his first act was to drink a cup of hot water, when his valet always had ready. This was the unfailing rule for three long year. He assisted the judge to dress and even combed his hair and beard. He rode with him on horseback over the circuit and accompanied him on many a walk.

A distinguished teacher of physical culture at Harvard has declared that there is no reason why women should not make as good soldiers as men. As a matter of fact, in endurance of pain and hardship the average woman is man's superior, and perhaps there is no physical reason why they would not make as good cannon fodder as men. But upon moral grounds and the considerations of the race perpetuation there are many reasons why this proposed brutalization of woman should be condemned. It is an idea repugnant even to the minds of savages. ```markdown ``` An interesting session of the Yearly Meeting of the Association of Free Baptists of West Virginia, Virginia and Maryland convened at Dudley Baptist Church from Fri- day, Sept. 17, to Sunday, Sept. 19 The old officers of the Association were reelected by a unanimous vote.
