Washington, Aug. 31.-President Harding in a proclamation late to day, commanded all persons engaged in "unlawful and insurrectionary pro. ceedings" in the West Virginia con fields to disperse and retire peace fully to their homes before noon or Thursday, September 1. Unless there is prompt compliance the administration let it be known that martial law would be declaret and Governor Morgan's appeal fo federal troops granted. Meanwhile Brig. Gen. H-. H. Band. holtz, who made a preliminary in. vestigation around the Mingo districi last week, was ordered back to West Virginia to watch the situation and advise the war department how th< proclamation was received. In a re port made public yesterday at the White House General Bandholtz ex pressed the opinion that the state au thorities had made "only feeble at. tempts" to restore order. The proclamation was issued by the president after a (lay of conferences with Secretary Weeks, General Band boltz and Major General larbord, as sistant chief of staff. A West Vir ginia delegation, headed by Senator Sutherland was also in conference with the president and Secretary Weeks and strongly urged the im medIate dispatch of troops to the scene bf trouble. "No Child's Play." The intimation was given by au ministration officials that if troops were sent there would be an adequate force and that "there would be no child's pllay." The text of tie president's procla mntion. fqllows: "Whereas, the governor of the state of \Vest Virginia has repre sented that domestic violence exists ill said state, which the authorities of said state are unable to suppress; and, - "Whereas, it is provided in the constitution of the United States that the United States shall protect each state in the union, on application to the legislature, or to the executive when the legislature can not be con vened, against domestic violence; and, "Whereas, by the laws of 0h United States, i.i pursuance of the above, it is provided that in all cases of insurrection in any state or of obstrudtion to the laws thereof it shall be lawful for the president of the United States, on application of the legislature of such state or of the executive when the legislature c-an not be convened, to call forth the militia of any other state or states or to e-mploy such part of the land and naval forces of the United States as shall be judged nec essary for the purpose of suppres sing such insurrection and causin the laws to be duly executed; and, "Whereas, the legislature of tho state of West Virginia is not now in session and can not be convened in time to meet the present emergency and the executive of said state under Section 4 of Article 4 ot the constitu tion of the United States and the laws passed in pllrsuanc-e thereof has nm-de due a)l)lication to me it, the prerises for- such part of the military forces of the United States as may be necessary andl adequate to pr1otect the state of West Virginia an dIthe citizens thereof against the (domestie violence, and enflorc-e the dlue execution of the laws and, "Whereas, it is requxir-ed that whenever it may be necessary in the judgment of the pr-esident to use military forces of the United States for the pur-pose aforesaid he shall forthwith by proclamation commnandl such insurgents to disper-se andl re tire peaceably to their respective homes within a limited time; Official Proclamation "Now therefore, I, Waxren G, Harding, president of the United States, (d0 hereby make pr-ocla mation and 1 (do hereby command all per-sons engagedl in saidl unlawful and1( insu rectionar-y proceedi ngs to dIispxerse andl retir-e peaceably to thei ri-espec tive abodles on or before 12 o'clock noon of the first (lay of September, 1921, and herea fter- abandlon said proc-eedlings andl submit themxselves tb the laws and c-onstitutedl author-i ties of said state.

"In witness whereof, I have here.. unto se-t my hand and caused the seal of the Unitedl States to be af While some disquieting rep~orts reached here duripg the (lay finonm West Virginia officials, there wvas ap.. parently a feeling among govern mnent oficials that the people com manded by the presidenit to r-eturni to their homes would (d0 so, and that Thursday noon would see a restora tion of orde(r, whichl wvould make the presence of troopls unnecessary. At the same time, however, thert was a firm dete-rminatioxn on the part of the adiministratioxn to meet any ser-i ous situation that might arise.

I read your pariagr-aph ('ntit led ''Will Evil Ult ima te(ly Ove'rcome Right,'' withI a goodl deal of interest.

Right or wrong is the amoi'al quuality of a voluntaray per'sonaI ia('tion. Un.. less a man be insaine or sufler'ing from some disease of mind, he lhas reason to knowv whethler aan actioaa of his own belongs to the Right or the Wrong. What. is it. then we ask that promp -.. mank md to do the Wrong ? Is it f r.' the lack of understanding the Mo'al aind _Legal Laws? Is it illiteraey? Can it be that we have ofricers of the law who are~ to illiterate as to have their concept ion of Right or Wrong entangled ? I do not think so. Still occasionally we find that the actions of our ofmlers seem very adlveise to our opinien but it is probably duec to the fact that we iare viewving the transaction~ fro-m a Moral viewpoint. What is l.'gally right is not alIways morally right, arid it is; here we get vecry ofter the wrong -*inpession of oue omiers. LOCAL HAPPENINGS Of TWENTY YEARS AGO September 4, 1901. Mr. Italph S.

Tlhe divorce law is a legal right in some States but a moral right in none. Nto man1 under the shining ennopy of heaven~ has a moral right to marry a woman unless lhe has the power to subserihe hiim self to hiis mar.. rieage vows, and vice versa with re ference to the other sex. Still he has a legal right to (1o so. 1. i Uwi'" with thepoltican.No ouiter of the law orcvlolce holder has a moral right to his ofilee( unless lht is w illing to suh.. mlit himself to his~ oath of oflice. It is a question in my mind if he has even a le:al right. We see from day to day much wronig-doiing, many c rimi nal offences being commit ted, many slots, and much mvob viole nce, contruary to both n' - and legal la w. The lawvs of oni land should take enre of tihe legal misdemeanors hut the broken moral obl1igations wvill have to be answeredl before a 1Higher Tribunal. This should concern ou lawvbreakers the more of the two. Whether we think of our actions as right or wrong wve arc not only answerable for the wrc. i believed to be wrong bobt for wvrong believed to lit right. Ignor.. anuce is no0 excuse. We have ini mindl no one with the except ion of King Saul who was excusted of a moral Wrong because of ignorance.
