Now no one is going to get us committed
to the proposition that A. Mitchell Palmer
is trying to get by on absolutely nuthing
but dignity. Not on your life; on the con-
trarry, we believe that A. Mitchell is a
very abull persun. But what we do say
is that when it Gums to dignity-A Mitch
ell is the answer. If dignity was gold A.
Mitch would annylize three millyun bones
to the tun. Uther folks may make pre-
tensions, and fool the ordinery obsurver,
but dignity is a passion with Mitch and it
Gums as naturel to him, and as easy and
simple to him as it does for membur of
the Oaklahomer dellegasion to make u
noise like Hungarian orchestra while
eating his soup.
One CRATE handicap that Mitchell has
suffered in this contest for the Leadership
is that he was a long time settling in his
own mind whethur he wanted to be Sen
ater frum Pennsylvainer, or Guvernor of
Pennsylvanier, or Leeder of the House. In
spite of the fact that Mitch has dignity
enuff, and then sum, to fill all three of
these phases, there is an annoying consti-
tusional prohibision against man Great
ing monopoly in restraint of his feller
citizens by holding moor than one offise
at a time. Then there arose the distress
ing fact that in Pennsylvanier there re-
mains lasting prejudice against the dem
mycratic party which borders almost onto
actuel aversion by the benited citizens of
that commonwealth. A demmycratic Sen
ater frum Pennsylvanier would create as
much surprise and curryossity as the res

Glastonbury. The latter wished to ap-
pease King Henry VIII who was indig-
nant because the monks had built a
Kitchen which he could not burn down.
The abbot accordingly despatched Jack
lIorner with a specially tempting looking
pie. which was filled inside with the title
deeds of II monasteries. as a present to
the King. Jack Horner shyly distracted
one deed. which was that referring to the
Manor of Wells. and on his return to
Glastonbury he informed the abbot that
the deed had been given to him by the
King. The rhyme was founded on this
incident, the plum" which he distracted
being the title-deed of Wells.
"Humpty Dumpty' is said to have been
bold, bad baron in the time of King
John. 'The Babes in the Wood had
their origin in an actual crime commit
ted in the fifteenth century. and the story
may be seen carved on the mantelpiece
of an ancient house in Norfolk. Little

friar boo or bod being a contraction
of the word for messenger). who. in
Anglo-Saxon days, went round collecting
for the monasteres. The sheep re-
ferred to the congregation, and their
tails to the contributions they would
bring in with them. Jack and JIM is
supposed to refer to the complete amalga-
nation between the Saxons and Normans.

HOW THE RHYMES ABOUT "OLD
MOTHER HUBBARD" WERE WRITTEN

London, December 13.-(Special.)-
Mother Hubbard, whose address is
Y Yealmpton, Devonshire, hopes that chill
dren the world over who have read about
her and her famous dog will send her
all the pennies that they can spare from
the fund they are getting together to
assist Santa Claus. 1t isn't because her
cupboard is bare, that she wants them,
but because the tower of the old parish
church in Yealmpton. where she once
lived is badly in need of repair and there
is at present no money in hand for that
purpose. Really, just between us. it is
not Mother Hubbard herself who asks
for the pennies. she having been dead for
nearly a century but the Vicar of
Y Yealmpton, the Rev. H. j. Warner. who
appeals In her name. and that of her
dog. and who hopes. Thereby. to raise the
$500 that is needed to rebuild the rapidly
crumbing tower.
Incidentally. this reverend gentleman
tells who the original Mother Hubbard
was. She was housekeeper to the Squire
of Yealmpton, more than 100 years ago,
and it was a guest of the sGure's, named
Sarah Catherine Martin, who wrote tho
nursery rhyme about her and her dog.
which all the world knows. The book in
which 1t Is written is still I'm the squire's
house, and inside IL is an inscription

boldly exsept the monorrity-and the man
who succeeds him is going to have a big
contract to measure up to. But sum how
we kindm figger that Mitch is the answer.
He has always measured up to EVERY big
job he tackled He was born in 1872, and
was prepared for college at the Moray
Wan Parochial School of Bethlehem, Penn,
and still he has newer boasted of it. He
graduated from the Swarthmoor College
and when leeving that honured institsion
he wanted sumthing for souvenner, SO
he took the hyest hdnurs in his class. In
spite of such early indiscreesions he has
maid good. He was also a membur of the
PLY Beta Kappa Sosiety. but he was new
yer arrested and has succeeded in living
it down.
OF corse if he is elected Chairman of the
ways and meens committe and the leeder
of the House he will have to lern to smile
pleasantly while he is choking an insur-
Sln1, dlso lie Will nave 10 loosen up on MS
dignity with the newspaper men. or they
air apt to kick in lot of ruff stuff in there
stories about him that would not tend to
make his job pleasant.
On the uther hand we want to say that
Mr.. Clawd Kitchen may get the job, and
if SO, the majority will have an abull and
brainey leeder in the North Carlinian We
add this to show how utterly imparsial
we air, and at the same time to make our
selves solid with Clawd in case he should
romp home with the bacun. In case neeth-
er of them get tive have our fingurs
crossed ennyhow. Yours trooly,

II not yet fully up to expectation. It is
well established that the promotion of
prosperity and happiness among men en-
ployed raises their efficiency as laborers
and makes them better citizens. better
husbands and better fathers and thus up
1fts the community standard.

houses, as well as improved houses for
the miners and their families are prov
ing as essential to Industrial success as

formed, and the attractive elements OF

Steam production means a revolution of
all the wheels of industry in this district
and these revolutions mean progress and
development. The wheels cannot revolve
in the absence of the miner. Therefore
the miner is entitled to credit for condi-
tlons as they exist. He knows his place
now, and in the absence of and by oblt-
GRAFTON of agitation. he is an independent

tion places him high as a factor for
material development He knows that

In the House of Representatives,, rite
now there is lively contest on. Dignity
and Orratory air in a deeth grapple for
supremacy. Sum times it looks like dig
nifty is sertain to win, and then orratory
bitches up its trowers and wades into the
ennemy and the odds turn in its favur.
The reesun is that Osker Underwood, who
has astounded the republican party-what
is left of it-and the rest of the country
by giving correct immitasion of how
to act sensibull- though a demmycrat,
and who has maid himself regular hon
est-to-g goodness leeder, by taking a lot of
raW-with espesial emfasis on the raw
demmycratic material in the House, and
by batting sed raw material ovver the he'd,
and kicking it in the pants, and then bland
ly shaking its hand and patting it on the
back has fooled it into believing that it
is the reel goods, and at the same time has
it eating gracefully out of his hand-be-
cause Osker aforesed is going to leeve the
House and ambull gracefully over to the
Senate rite soon. The contest is ovver who
will have the honur of stepping into his
Shoes where, Whoever it is, he should
worry, becawse if he ant there every
way frum the post he'll rattle round like
buckshot in a lard can
Dignity is represented in this contest
by A. Mitchell Palmur of Pennsylvanier
and Orratory by the Honerabull Clawd
Kitchins of North Carliner. Not that A.

is not dignified-that is if persun named

The rental rate is 81 per house or $175

Schools are provided for the children
of both sexes and the attendance is

company is soon to begin the erection
of a house OF worship on one of the hill
tops at Roebuck, and this will be fol-
lowed by the building of one for the
other race. Fairgrounds and other
places of entertainment will be pro-
vided at Roebuck, when the company
shall have added to its force and sup
piled other things necessary to com
fort and convenience
This company recognizes that there is
probably no other field that presents a
greater opportunity for welfare work than
the coal fields The operators and mine
managers OF this district are demonstrate
ing recognition of the fact. The present
campaign for uplift along the line of
welfare work is not the result of any
special demand on part of the employee
but the new order of things is brought
about by an observation of the necessity
of cooperation between capital and labor
as an essential to the successful opera
ton of business.
