Summary
| Description |
English: The cartoonist (possibly "J.S. Debs" ?) proposes that the Seal of West Virginia be replaced with an adapted version: here, the farmer is replaced by a state trooper and the miner is replaced by a coal mine owner. A dead miner lies at their feet. "Montani Semper Liberi" is a Latin phrase and means "mountaineers are always free". This phrase is the motto of West Virginia.
