grafters, marquereaux, gamblers and the riffraff and off scourings of
wide-open frontier town. W e draw this interesting conclusion from
Northey’s own remarks and from the record as furnished hv the Gov
ernor.
There lias been a gross defiance of decency and law at Huntington
for many months. The officials have done nothing to protect the pub
lic ami it is evident that they have actively countenanced gambling,
prostitution and all sorts of viee. and have not been vigilant in the
prosecution of other crimes growing out of these shocking conditions.
The plea is made that it is a railroad town and these things cannot be
prevented.
Then Heaven help the town and the railroad men. The facts are
they always are in such eases that the saloons and gamblers and
the scarlet women were in a partnership of lawless effort to get the
money away from the railroad employes and any others; and the con
spiracy extended to the business community, or a part of it. The money
was “ circulated” and everybody got his little hit.
Shame on such
rotten business.
When a mayor or town marshal or a sheriff tolerates the infam
ous collusion between whiskey, gambling and prostitution, and decent
people are helpless. Governor West is right in taking a hand. If he
cannot suppress chronic disorder or persistent and notorious vice, ex
cept by calling out the National Guard, let him call out the National
Guard.

If one thing more than another proves the ability of the International
Correspondence Schools, of Scranton, to raise the salaries of poorly paid
but ambitious men and women— to raise YOUR salary— it is the monthly
average of .100 letters VOLUNTARILY written by students telling of
salaries raised and positions bettered through I. C. S. help.
YOU don’t live so far away that the I. C. S. cannot reach you. Pro
vided you can read and write, your schooling has not been so restricted
that the I. C. S. cannot help you. Your c^rcupation is not such that
the I. C. S. cannot improve it. Your spare time is not so limited that it
cannot be used in acquiring an I. C. S. training. Your means are not so
slender that you cannot afford it. The occupation of your choice is not
so high that the I. L\ S. cannot train you to fill it. Your salary is not so
great that the I. C. S. cannot raise it. To learn how easily it can be
