THE DEMAND FOR SOBRIETY

dry" issue to the voters, and the circular
letter plainly states that the employees of
the company who signs the petition for a
resubmission will jeopardize his position
with the company. Thus it runs in part:
We desire to advise you that in signing
petitions for resubmission of the local OPP
ton question again to popular vote all
persons in our employ who do this are by
that act placing themselves in opposition
to the interests of this company.
''It has become doubly necessary that this
company employ only sober, clearheaded
men who have at all times the full posses
sion oftheir faculties. There is no question
that the open saloon greatly increases the
use of intoxicating liquors and is therefore
opposed to the interests of'this compgny."
In short, although this may seem rather
an infringement upon the rights of the
men in the employment of big industrial
concerns, the Legislation recently placed up
on the statute books in many of the states
imposing additional responsibilities upon
employers for the benefit of their employees
has made it necessary for employers
to protect themselves against habits and
practices of their employees which tend to
increase the accident risk.

THE PRESIDENTS HOPEFULNESS

der worker; that already dust is gathering
on idle looms and cobwebs in counting
rooms, that business is stagnant, and the
starting of new enterprises has been aban-
doned. But all this condition is to be
changed, almost in the twinkling of an eye.
How can such law accomplish such
result? 1t must do more than create an
elastic currency, more than establish a
system under which all the quick capital of
the country shall be liquid, ready for use
wherever and whenever needed. The start
ing of government banks in different sec
tons of the country will not bring it about,
banks that will be under the direct control
of the administration.
To do this will require real magic; men
tai suggestion will not be sufficient The
root of the trouble lies deeper than can be
reached by any currency law, especially by
law in the framing Of which the testimony
of financial experts was ignored and which
was driven through congress by generous
use of the white house birch.

From the Chicago Inter-ocean.

This is the day of the sober man. Time
was, and not very long ago, when the bril-
liant alcohol could hold job in almost any
trade or profession, despite his unreiability.
That time is past Industry has come to
realize that dependabiity is better than
brilliancy and that brilliancy itself is more
common with men of clear heads than with
those whose brains are muddled with
alcohol.
One of lhe many factors which have been
made for putting premium upon sobriety
is the workmens compensation law. This
lays increased burdens on the employer
in the way of compensation for injuries re-
ceived" according to a circular letter to all
of its employees written by the general
manager of the Sheffield Car Works of
Three Rivers, Mich.
This letter calls attention to the fact that
sober men are required to avoid accidents
in the plant, and has an acute bearing upon
the local situation inasmuch as it is made
clear that the policy of the company is OPP
posed to saloons. Three Rivers dry

OUR MOUNTAIN SCENERY

Volumes have been printed of the gran
deur of the Rockies, the Cascade and Sierras;
but if the half had been said about the
beauties of the mountains of East Tennessee,
tourists and artists would flock here by the
thousands.
Having seen most of the famous noun
tain views of California, Colorado, Washing
ton, Idaho and Oregon, we have no hest
tation in saying that they are not one whit
grander or prettier than can be seen on the
L. & N. between Ducktown and Etowah.
1t is strange that the L. & N does not do
more advertising of what it has to offer
tourists in this line, for it is worth making
a long trip to see.

THEY SHOULD COME "HoME "

Much has been written and more has
been said about the return of the Progress
ives to their home-the Republican party.
Few men will deny that this is what should
be done, and those who do are men to
whom the real principles of the Republican
party do not appeal and it is safe to asesrt
that their Republicanism is only skin deep.
Those who followed Col. Roosevelt in
the campaign of 1912 are none the less
Republicans now than when they went with
him to a brilliant VICTOR in 1904. Mr..
Roosevelt, himself, is no less Republican
now than then, and we believe that in the
campaign of 1916 he will be found in the
ranks of the party that has honored him,
and itself SO signally honored by being led
by such stalwart
1t is long time until 1916 and much
can happen during the intervening years;
but we predict that the next presidential
campaign will find every man in whom the
true spirit of Republicanism ever prevailed
with his face to the front, helping to put
the old party back in its rightful place.

Mail Car Robbed

An unknown white man, Who was
described as being very nerVous,
Thursday night at 1o:45 O'Clock enter
ed the mail car of Soushern railway
train No. II, from Charleston, half
way between Columbia and Royster,
and secured several sacks Of register
ed mail.
Railway mail officials said at mid
night that it was impossible to esti-
mate the amounts contained in the
registered letters, but that they were
from Charleston. None Of the letters
and papers were touched.
The mail car was in charge OF Z. +.
Thomas, railway mail clerk. He made
report to the transfer clerk upon the
arrival of the train at the union sta
ton. Special agents OF the Southern
railway and members Of the Columbia
police department we're put to work
on the case and an arrest had not been
made at an early hour Friday morn
ing.
It is supposed that the bandit board
ed the train at Reyster. He wssked
into the mail car, pistol in hand, at
the Whaley street crossing. He'or'
dered the mail clerk to turn mis- back.

Another District Falls in Line

I a.
Holly L. Harman, county supe1in
tendent of education, has just received
| returns from the election held in Mar
tiI's school district No. Bin the Dutch
Fork on the question of voting two
mill levy for school PURPOSES. in which
it is stated that the election carried in
favor of the special levy by unani-
mous vote of 13, there not being a
single dissenting vote cast. This
means that another district in the
county has realized the great impor-
tance Of more funds for school pur-
poses in order thas the children Of the
common old field SCHOOL, might have
an opportunity of having longer
session. Most of the districts in the
county already have extra tax levies
to be applied to the school term, the
people, as rule, being willing to 60
down in their jeans" in order that
their children might receive more edu-
caelonal advantages.
Superintendent Harman spent last
week in different sections of the coun-
ty visiting the schools, and with but
few exceptions, according to his views,
the schools are in dourishing condl-
tion. However. there are some
schools in the county, he says, where
the attendance is dropping of from
what he would like to see it, indicating
that the farmers are stopping their
children from school all too early IN
order that the work on the farms
might be pushed. Wherever the gov
ernment demonstration farms are be-
ing operated in conjunction with the
high schools the people are taking a
lively interest as a whole, and it is
believed that the demonstrations will
prove far more beneficial than was at
first anticipated OF even hoped for,

the homicide could not be learned.
Some one broke into the residence Of
Mr.. Boone yesterday morning and
knowing that no one else had been
about the premises he accused the
negro Of breaking into his home while
he was away. The negro thereupon
drew a pistol and Mr.. Boone then
drew hip, firing hrst. It has been
stated by b1r. Boone's relatives that
be will voluntarily surrender TO the
s,"rif tomorrow morning,
