THE "WON'T DO" CLUB

One of the largest societies in the
world is the won't Do" Club. It's
membership is composed of the men
and women who have failed to pass
the tests of life, who have been
weighed in the scales of human en-
deavor and found to be wanting.
The society is unorganized, but it's
membership is scattered everywhere,
and, though subscribing to no writ
ten constitution or oaths of fealty,
their principles are the same and
their mission in life alike abortive
and ineffective.
No withering blast from the infin-
ite has shriveled the lives 70 these
people; no finger of an unkind Prov
idence has been laid upon them to
retard or prevent their success. For
the most part the won't Do" mem
bership have selected the society OF
their choice and have elected to drift
through an unsuccessful life, envious
and resentful of the success of 9TH
ers, though sharers in part, of their
bounty.
The boy budding into manhood
should be careful that he does not
gravitate to this distressful company.
A tendency to idle and shirk and to
dawdle through the days is an un-
mistakable sign of candidacy for the
'sWon't Do' club, and once in, there
is no breaking the bonds.
Some day, at some time and place
the moment will arrive for the bud
ding man; opportunity for advance
ment will face him with the big ques-
tions: care you able? Are you will
ling? Are you competent? and upon
the boys answer depends his whole
future. If the boy has been pursu-
ing useful tasks his whole past life
will back him up in answering the
questions successfully. If he has
dawdled away his time and gained no
certain knowledge--if he has cleo
ted to evade his tasks and to shlrk
his youthful duties-if he has laugh
ed at industry and pursued folly-in
he goes to the Wont Do" member
ship and the company of the unhap-
py throng.
The .'big" men, the successful
men Of the world, have achieved sue
cess largely upon the concentration
of their mental and physical equip
ment upon the tasks at hand. For
tune does not attend upon shirkers
and idlers. And the habits of youth
youth who comes with empty head
largely fix the status of the man. The
and hand cannot expect to be sought
by opportunity. Be warned of the
"Won't Do" club-Seattle P. l.

OREGON TRAINMEN ASK WAGE
INCREASE

PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. 28-Con-
ductors and brakemen of the Oregon
Washington Railroad and Navigation
company, have petitioned j. p. o.
Brien, vice-president and general
manager, for an increase in wages
and improved working conditions.
Officials of the company have asked
for time in which to consider.
The men declare in their petition
that the comapny is able to handle
from fifty to seventy-five per cent
more tonnage with the same number
of men now than 1t could five years
ago, before the more powerful style
Of locomotives was adopted. They
saw that they want proportionate
share of the increased revenue that
the road thus derives from their SER
vices.
The employees committee has been
in session here since January ~. pre-
pairing the petition.

OREGON'S NEW REGISTRATION

The Aberdeen World says: Ore
gon is always an interesting and rad
ical state. 1t has two democratic
senators at the present writing, a
nondescript governor elected as a
democrat, and supposedly strong
Bull Moose leanings. Yet in the reg
istrations now in progress, the voters
who have registered as Republicans
total 81 percent of the total regis
tration. That is to say, out of So,
500 voters who have registered, 49,
500 have declared themselves Re
publicans; 1860, Democrats; 1861
Progressives; 1925 Prohibitionists;
1874, Socialists and 2,044 belong in
the miscellaneous" class. If that
indicates anything it indicates Ore
gon as a strong Republican state,
with the Progressives an inconse-
quental factor. Yet the Progressives
in 1912 cast a total of $1,000 votes
for Roosevelt out of a total Of 49,
O4O votes cast in the whole state;
the Republicans cast 34,673 for
Taft and the Democrats carried the
state for Wilson with total vote
of 47,O64. The Republican vote of
1912 expressed in percentage, was
25.3 per cent; the Democratic vote,
35.08 per cent; the Progressive vote,
27.44 per cent. Nearly one half Of
the voters of the state have now reg
istered, and the dwindling OF the
Progressive forces-if the registra-
tion means anything-is apparent.
But they lie and cheat in Oregon
have been doing both since the dir
ect primary was in effect.

RAILROAD STRAIGHT TO ALASKA

Premier Mcbride. OF British Col
umbia believes that the time has
come for the building Of a railroad
through British Coumblia to the Yu-
kon and Alaska, and he adds that the
authorities at Washington and OF
tawa have gone SO far as to endorse
the proposal heartily and are prepar-
ed for some project Of cooperation
in the plan. He went on to explain
that the project was too expensive
for the province to take up SINGLE
handed, and that was the only reas-
on why 1t withheld from pressing on
further north.
If Alaska were in the position OF
British Columbia there is not the
slightest doubt that the road would
be constructed, and constructed
speedily. There is an interesting con-
trast in the treatment accorded til
two sections.
When British Columbia had very
much smaller population than Alas
ka has had for the past ten years.
and when it was far more remot
from the rest of the world than
Alaska, it was made by England
self-governing colony. It was given
full and complete control Of all OF
its own resources, including, Of
course, title to all Of the public
lands, and was permitted to conduct
its own affairs. 1t was never called
upon to pay dollar of tribute in the
form of taxation or otherwise to the
British crown. Its revenues were
exclusively for its own use.
British Columbia has developed
and is further developing through
the use it is permitted to make Of
it's own resources. If Alaska had
control of it's own affairs and it's own
resources in any way approaching
the way British Columbia has had
control for more than fifty years.
Alaska and British Columbia could
cooperate readily and construct the
proposed railroad without looking to
assistance from any central govern
ment, either at Ottawa or Washing
ton, assistance, it may be added.
which Alaska is not very apt to get.
But why should not this American
Territory be accorded the rights
which Great Britain accorded some
fifty years ago to the colony, now
province, which is Alaska's nearest
neighbor? Seattle p. /.

A Word to Cotton Producers

While I have not been all over
York county recently and made thor
ough investigation as to the number
of bales of cotton that are laying out
in the open, or are piled under impro-
vised sheds, still ! am satisfied that
there are at least 10000. 1 do know
from experience that most Of this cot
ton will be more or less seriously dam
aged If it continues to be exposed to
the weather, some Of 1t as much as
$1,000 a bale, and 1t is likely that the
average damage will be $3.50. and oh!
what a howl each producer will make
when the buyer estimates and deducts
the damage! Many farmers object to
paying Is cents a month for storage
and insurance to the warehouse, and
to SAVE" that charge allows his cot
ton to deteriorate as much as 30 cents
a month--saves at the spigot and lets
out at the bung. The storage alone Is
cheap at Is cents, or even 20 cents
month, to say nothing Of the insurance
and 1t seems to me that the farmer or
other owner of cotton who has no
means of his own for properly pro-
tecting his cotton, and allows 1t to lay
out and take the weather as 1t comes.
to say the least. has not considered
both sides of the proposition. Per-
sonally it makes no difference to me
whether it Is stored or not.

To Vote Whisky Out.

AS previously announced in The En-
quirer, at a conference composed OF
representatives Of the various Sec
tions Of the state, held in Columbia on
October 22, 1t was decided to circu-
late petitions throughout the state, to
be signed by qualified voters, address
ed to members Of the legislature to
convene in January. asking that body
to give the voters Of the state the
special election, to be held on or about
the middle Of September, 1915, wheth-
er or not South Carolina shall have
statewide prohibition, and shall also
take advantage Of the provisions OF
what is known as the webb law"
and prohibit the shipment Of whisky
into the state. The conference decid-
ed to appoint one citizen from each
county to be charged with the duty of
having petitions circulated for the
signatures Of the voters at each voting
precinct, and in view Of the fact that
I have been designated to handle the
matter in York county, and have been
furnished a supply Of printed petit
tions I take this method of informing
every citizen who does not stand for
the legal or illegal whisky traffic
throughout the state, that I am count
ing on his cooperation in circulating
these petitions and securing the sig
natures Of voters, and ask for one or
more volunteers at each precinct 1
will promptly furnish blank petitions
on application. I believe a large ma
jority Of the voters Of York county
favor absolute prohibition-the kind 1t
is claimed they have in Kansas-and
I am hoping that the petitions, when
sent to Columbia, about January IL,
will show that they are true to their
convictions, by carrying the names of
each one. Following already have pc
titions: ]. K. Allison and R II. Holli-
day. Hickory Grove; John S. Hartness.
Sharon; J. M. Ferguson, Rock Hill. l
shall keep one at my office for the
signature Of those who may find 1t
convenient to call. I ask the pastors
of the various churches Of the county
to see that petitions are circulated In
their sections. Sam M. Grist.
