constantly urged upon its membership

UNTIL fHE MILLENNIUM.

1 II would be just as logical 20 charge the
| American army In the Philippines with
| being an army of murderers, torturers
| and robbers because a few crimes were
/ committed by soldiers there. Until the
| millennium thero will be crimes In every
community. and huma mature Is the
same-no better and no worse-among the
half million people dependent upon us In
the coal fields. as II Is everywhere In our
country.
The pretence Of the operators that they
were unable 10 produce coal because IN
timidatior kept from work men who
were willing TO work has been proven
false by the fact that the protection
which they demanded has decreased
rather than increased the number Of men
mining coal
A hundred thousand troops could not
have enabled the operators TO start their
mines for the simple reason that the men
who work them are members of the
United Nine Workers OF America. men
who were determined tn stand TO the last
for their right TO organize and through
their organization to demand better wages
and improved conditions OF employment.
SHOULDER TO SHOULDER
Deprivation. Misrepresentation and
troops together were not sufficient to
drive them into surrender They stood
shoulder to shoulder to the very last
The operators declared that they would
have nothing 10 do with the United Mine
Workers OF America, but they have found
IL necessary 10 recognize the power OF the
United Mine Workers OF America through
you, Mr.. President, and to seek terms OF
peace which will enable them to resume
their business of mining and selling coal
The recognition OF our strength thus
forced upon the operators by stern ne
cessity We exult over. not In any narrow
spirit, but because we believe II marks
a forward step TO q new era

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL.

The Paris High School football team
opened the season with two games last
week. Monday afternoon they had the
courage to go up against the first eleven
of Hebron Academy on Hebron campus.
They got off with score of 81 to 0 in
favor of Hebron.
Saturday afternoon they tackled the
Hebron second eleven at the fair grounds,
and this was rather better-looking
score, being ) TO in favor of Hebron.
The touchdown by Hebron was made in
the last IA seconds of play, when Brown
of Hebron worked a fake play and CO.
through the line for touchdown with
only 10 more seconds to play.
No accidents happened except few
twists and strains. In the first half the
ball did not vary 80 yards, with no score
for either side. The second half result
ed about the same way until Hebron's
full-back made a 40-yard run, which add
ed to Browns run made the touch
down. Brown failed at a goal. Paris
gains were made principally by Lyon S
wide runs around the ends, also Lind
ley's. Shaw made one or two gains
through center. But on the whole
Hebron's line held, and Paris did not
work her tackle back plays. The line
up was as follows:

A Royal TnIisman.

For 400 years the Hohenzollern fam
fly has possessed peculiar talisman
in the shape Of black stone set in q
ring, each head Of the house having
passed the charm on to the next in sue
cession for many generations. Fred.
erick the Great is said to have found
the ring sealed In package with in
structions as to its preservation and
transmission written by Frederick l.
Precisely what value or significance
attaches to this carefully treasured bit
Of jewelry 1t would be difficult to say.
Tradition says that huge toad hoped
into the royal presence centuries ago
with the stone held in its mouth. AS
to whether the golden setting in which
the stone is now preserved is due to
the forethought Of the intelligent toad
or to the afterthought Of the Hohen-
zollerns tradition fails to enlighten us.
