HEROES IN WAR; DOGS IN PEACE.

The cartoonist's inscription under a
sketch depicting file of green soldiers
in charge of drill officer, In war
you're heroes, in peace you're dogs" is
too true. One would think he had
entered a different age to follow the
files of the newspapers before and after
the breaking out of the war. The
English press seemed to have been af-
flicted with the worst lot of bullies and
loafers for fellow-citizens that ever bur-
dened a nation. They had no sense of
justice, no regard for property rights, no
feeling of patriotism. But a change
came as in night. The loafers and
bullies were whisked out of the eoun-
try and their places filled by sturdy
English yeomanry. The men who had
been such veNatious nuisance to their
"betters" had suddenly been discovered
to be the bone and sinew of the coun-
try. 1t is no longer

POSTAL CARD A HARD WORKER
Earns Revenue of $4,000, 900 a Year for
Uncle Sam and Is Growing.

Forty-five years ago. October !, the
worlds first postal card was issued by
the Austrian postoffice officials at vi
enua. The first in the United States
appeared four years later. after public
demand forced this government conces-
sion. The eprincipal official argument
against the postal card was that such
open communication offered an excel
lent opportunity for the writer of libel
TO exercise his nefarious work.
The postal card is now universal In
the United States nearly one billion gov
ernment postal cards, enough to supply
every man. woman and child in the
country with ten each, are issued annu-
ally. Expressed in another way, it
means that the American people are
carry on their correspondents by means
Of postal cards.
In the 40 years that postal cards
have circulated throughout the United
states their number his increased near
ly 80 times, the record for the first
year of their introduction in the United
States, in 1873, being about 1000, 900.
Each year witnessed gradual increase
in their popularity until the demand
grew too great for the private print
shops that formerly printed the cards
under contract, and the public printing
office at Washington took over the
task.
Now two great rotary presses. each
capable of printing, cutting and distrib-
uting the postal cards into packages Of
o5, each package bound with n paper
band. are turning them out at the max
imum rate of 100000 every working

Mine Workers, Coal and Metalliferous.
Before organization the hours for
these workers were unlimited and wages
ranged from nothing to possibly So per
day in few rare instances. History
has recorded the fact that many unor-
ganixed coal miners have died in debt
to their employers. which debt was left
as legacy for their children to cancel
by hard toll and deprivation. and Of
course all were subjected to many de-
privations of liberty which we all con-
slider inherent to the rights of man.
Since organization hours have been re-
duccd to s per day and the minimum
wage has been set at $3.50 per day for
coal and $3.50 per day for metallifer-
Gus miners, and the earning power of
organized miners on high price rates per

The title of the Dismukes lot was
transferred toIthe city today
The Star reporter had the pleas
ure of watching c. W. Hunter, pres
ident of the douncil, sign a check for
s12, 500, to De given in payment for
the property Mr.. Hunter signed it
as easy as he would have receipted a
gas BILL He does not mind signing a
check of that size a bit. ----~.
Tt has taken quite lot of hard
work and good management on the
part OF Mr.. Hunter and the other
councilmen to get the money togeth-
er, and they have right to feel that
they have done well by the city.
President Hunter, Clerk Sistrunk
and the Star reporter went to the
bank together. On the way, Mr..
Sistrunk let the reporter carry the
check, so he could say he had s12,-
500 in his pocket one time at least.
Funny, but it felt just like any
other piece of paper. There was an
other check for $3.50 in the same
pocket, and the little check was the
biggest-for the reporter.
Arriving at the Munroe & Cham
bliss Bank, the business was con-
Guided at once Mr. Munroe took
the check and handed Mr.. Sistrunk
the deed, and the deed was done
The Munroe & Chambliss Bank
which has attended to the business
gave it's services free and its ex-
change on the check to the city.
It's a good business transaction
and everybody is pleased with it.
