A Rising Woman Labor Leader
Small wages.
Long hours.
Lack of "sayso."
These are the three big factors
which are going to drive every
woman worker . in the United
States into the shelter of labor or
ganizations-organization that, in
general, will be formed exclusive
ly OF women and which will not
be affiliated with mems organiza-
TOMS except that, in strikes, they
will unite for common cause.
Why has it become necessary
for women to have exclusive I'M
ions?
Because women are constituted
differently from men, generally
working most effectively under
conditions unlike those under
which men are most effective.
Then, too, women need independ-
emit organizations because they
are engaged in independent
trades-trades in which men are
not engaged at all.
The prime motive for banding
together is women's imperative
need of the "sayso"-of the heed
of driving bargain with her en-
ployer.
And about those "short wages"
Six dollars a week is the average
There are 100000 women work.
ers in this country. Mind you,
the Sc is the AVERAGE wage.
It's the few well-paid workers
that brings the average up that
high. More than 100000 wom-
en- workers in this, the richest
country in the world, receive
LESS than Sc a week for their
labor.
This $6-or less-is not a fair
wage. 1t is not an American wage.
1t is starvation wage. And peO-
pie are coming to realize that a
girl cannot clOthe- and feed herself
properly on such pay.

Running an automobile twenty-five
miles an hour, through a populous
residence street, without lights, at $40
O'Clock on Saturday evening, we
would call recklessness. 1t is certain
ly a violation of law. 1t would seem
TO us that the automobile owners
themselves, in their own interest,
would demand that the ordinances
regulating the running of automo-
biles be observed, or at least that
every automobile driver show some
consideration for the safety of men,
women and children who might be
venturing to use the streets.

Hon. Ira B. Jones, former chief JUS
tice of the supreme court OF South
Carolina. now seeking the office OF
governor, has developed into bril-
liant satirist, and we are lost in ad-
miration. In the report of the dis
tinguished jurist's address at the
Charleston campaign meeting, the
News and Courier says:
"some merriment was created when
the speaker ironically said that If
thing appeared in the State or the
News and Courier it was lie, but let
it appear in the News-Scimitar or the
Mullins Messenger Or the NeWberry
Herald and News and it was a mes
sage straight from Cod
1t will be noted that the distinguish
ed iurist not only said it, but he said
it ironically.
The Herald and News is completely
hors de combat. Had it the temerity
to draw a weapon in play of wits
against the distinguished former chief
Justice, it could not do so, so transfix-
ed is The Herald and News with the
wonder that so brilliant thrust could
proceed from mortal man in this latter
age.
We are carried back to the days OF
old, when knights were hold, witl
hearts of gold. AS the distinguished
former chief justice stood facing his
hundreds of listeners, We can imagine

midst of his thousands of admirers

A correspondent in the Edgeheld
Chronicle is kicking because grown
folks who are not invited to church
weddings in Edgefeld not only go
themselves, but take their babies with
them. The correspondent thinks this
is awful, and prophecies that if this
thing keeps up bridal couples may
be forced to put on their wedding in
vitations, "No babies expected" To
our mind, this would be even more
awful. We have been expecting the
handsome young editor of the Chroni-
Gle to rush to the rescue of the babies,
especially.

we would severely condemn the sale

stuff denominated "near-beer. The
courts will decide whether or not the

We can see him breathing the name OF
his Creator only with reverence. We
can see him with his sharp sword IN
his hand-this sword now represented
by his brilliant irony, or his keen sa-
tire, if you will. He is head and
shoulders above the common crowd.
He looms large against ordinary hu
manity, as a giant mountain peak
against wintry sky. AS the sunlight
plays upon this keen-edge sword of
his-this sword of irony, or of satire,
if YOU will-the scintillations are
binding. 1t cleaves the air-and it
is as though there were many flashes
of lightning playing round about him.
The thrust is sharp and quick and
clean, and lightning-iike.
Bandying not the name of his Crea-
tor about, but breathing it only rever-
emily, he sheaths his sword, and the
plaudits of his admirers rend the air
and are heard up beyond the stars.
And The Herald and News is one Of
the vanquished.
In deepest humility We ask, where
in have we offended?

Oh, the brilliance of the irony Of it!

FOR THE SUCCESS OF DEMOCRAC,

It is gratifying to note that practi-
cally all the leading Democrats who
most strongly fought the nomination
of Woodrow Wilson are pledging him
their earnest and active support We
believe the Democratic party can win
this year if all good Democrats work
together in harmony for the common
success, but factional differences
brought about by the fight for the
nomination, as well as any old differ
ences which may have fingered from
previous campaigns. must be put aside,
and the party must present solid
front to the opposition.
Woodrow Wilson was not the choice
of The Herald and News for the nomi-
nation, but the party to which The
Herald and News owes its allegiance
has spoken, and The Herald and News
is as loyal to Governor Wilson as it
would have been to the candidate OF
its choice. We want to commend the
tone of the congratulatory messages
sent to Governor Wilson by Speaker
Champ Clark and Representative Us
car w. Underwood. These messages
showed these gentlemen to be big men,
worthy the high positions which they
hold in the counsels of their party
one the speaker Of the Democratic
house. and the other the Ioor leader
of the house.
1t will take considerable amount
of money to meet the expenses of the
campaign which is now on, and every
contribution to the campaign fund,
however small, will help some. The
Herald and News will be glad to re-
iceive contributions from the people of
Newberry county who may feel in
position to subscribe, and will ac-
knowledge the contributions in its
columns, and forward them to the pro-
per person. The county executive
committee has instructed its members
to solicit subscriptions for this pur-
pose from the members of their re-
spective clubs. These contributions
will be turned over to the county
chairman, to be forwarded to the
treasurer of the national Democratic
executive committee, and they will be
acknowledged by the county chairman
in the Newberry papers.
Now is the time for all good Demo-
Gratis to get together and work for the
success of their party.

PREDECESSORS OF CAPT. LUX
Colonel Saussier, General Zurlnden
and Others Have Escaped From
Prisons in Germany.

About a dozen precedents for the
escape of Captain Lux from his Ger
man prison can be found in the his
tory of the Franco-German war, and
large proportion of the heroes OF
them lived to become famous.
A notable case was that Of General
(then colonel Saussier, ultimately
communicating Of the French
army, who was detained at Grandens,
in the extreme east Of Prussia. 1t Ia
said that he put his bolster to bed in.
stead of himself, hid in an obscure
corner of the fortress until nightfall
and then, having obtained dis
guise by the help of his orderly, was
allowed to walk out of the main
prison gate.
He crossed the frontier to Poland
and returned to France by way OF
Austria and Italy.
General Zurlinden was another pris-
oner who got out of his prison at
Glogan in Silesia, on Christmas eve
He made his way in disguise through
Berlin, Frankfort and Karlsruhe to
Basel, a feast which was not difficult
for him, as, being an Alsatian, he
spoke German quite as well as his
jailers.
Thirdly, we may note the expert
ences of NJ. Paul Deroulede, who es'
capped from Breslau, and it is piquant
| to recall that that vehement anti
Semitic did not disdain to disguise
himself as Polish Jew. He was very
nearly betrayed by a peasant whom
| he had bribed to guide him into Bo-
hemia; but he drew his knife with a
| ferocious gesture and the peasant
changed his mind, with the result
that M. Deroulede saw the final fights
of the war as sub-lieutenant Of Tur.
