INDUSTRIAL
COMMISSION
BY Peter Radford.

The recent investigation of the
United States Commission Of Indus
trial Relations brought together the
extremes of society and has given the
public an opportunity to view the rep
resentatives of distinct classes, side
by side, and to study their views in
parallel columns.
Capital and labor have always been
glazing at each other over CULTS of
misunderstanding and if the Federal
Industrial Commission attempts to
bridge the chasm, it will render the
public a distinct service.
The farmer has been sitting on the
fence watching capital and labor fight
for many years and incidentally furn-
fishing the sinews of war and it is
quite gratifying to find them talking
with, instead Of about, each other.
When honest men smile and look into
each others souls, it always makes
the world better and far more salts

bears the burden of conflict, than

The love for justice makes the
whole world kin. Understanding is an
arbiter far more powerful than the
mandates of government, for there is
no authority quite so commanding as
an honest conscience; there is no de-
cree quite so binding as that of the
Supreme Court Of Common Sense and
no sheriff can keep the peace quite so
perfect as Understanding.
We suppose the time will never
come when capital and labor will not
be occasionally blinded by the light
ming flashes of avarice or frightened
by the thunder peals of discomfort.
But Understanding is a Prince of
Peace that ever holds out the olive
branch to men who want to do right.
A mans income is always a sacred

TIMELY VERSE

And to his satisfaction proved
That time could surely fly.

When he's in miseree;

The town he's in to be.

Bill's watch became a wonder,
1t entered, "Verse of Fame"
And made him strut, as every stunt
Was coupled with his name.
But now Bills smile has vanished
And Fate has got his goat,
He took his watch out, fishing,
And found it wouldn't float.

THE BATTLE Of
THE TIRES

Agricultural and Commercial Press servicel
1t Is interesting to watch the forces
Of civilization battling for supremacy.
The struggle now going on between the
rubber and the iron tire promises to
be the liveliest contest of the TWEEN.
tieth Century.
The struggle is silent one and
there are no wal correspondents to
write vivid descriptions of the con.
fict but the results are more far.
reaching to present and future gen.
erations than the war of Europe.
The rubber tire has been maneuver.
ing for point of attack for several
years and has captured a few unim.
portant positions in traffic, but it has
now pitched a decisive battle with
Its iron competitor by hurting a mil.
lion "jitneys" at the street railways
and the battle is raging from ocean
to ocean. Upon the result of the
struggle depends the future Of the
rubber tire. If it is compelled to re.
treat, its doom is sealed, but if it wins
the battle it will revolutionize the
transportation methods of this nation.
If the rubber tire conquers the
street traffic It's next struggle is with
the railroads Of the country, and then
the greatest battle between economic
forces EVER fought out on the face
of this earth is on, for iron is the IN.
disputed master in transportation, and
is fortified behind billions of dollars,
and millions ofamen.
Stephenson applied the steel tire
to an iron rail in 1914, but it was 1863
before the golden spike was driven
at Promontory Point. which bound
the country together with bands OF
steel. 1t took the iron tire fifty-ive
years to creep from ocean to. ocean.
but the rubber tire while warm from
the creative mind of the inventive
genius sped across the continent like
an arrow shot from the bow of Ulys.
ses. The roadbed was already pre-.
pared and therein lies the power of
the rubber tire over that of iron, for
government builds and maintains the
public highway.
But iron Is a stubborn metal and
1t has mastered every wheel that
turns; has fought battles with every
element above and. beneath the earth
and has never, tasted the NORWOOD
Of defeat, and when rubber hurls it's
full force against this monarch of
the Mineral Kingdom, it may rebound
to the factory stunned beyond recov.
cry.
The rubber tire first made it's ap.
pearance on the bicycle, but it proved
a frivolous servant and was dismissed
for incompetency. 1t has always been
too much inclined to revel in luxury
to be taken seriously as a utility ma.
chine and its reputation is not one to
inspire confidence in heavy traffic
performance.
But to those who care to watt into
.dreamland, it is enchanting to note
that there will be a marvellous differ.
ence between q. rubber and an iron
age. The rubber tire will scatter the
cities throughout the valleys for with
transportation at every mans door,
why a city? 1t will traverse the con-
tinent with a net work of Macadam
highways as beautiful as the boule-
ward built by Napoleon. 1t will par
alyze the law making bodies of this
nation for how could the legislatures
run without the railroads to operate
on?

WHY A BOARD OF HEALTH

The State Board of Health has is
sued warnings aimed to check the
spread Of diphtheria which has be-
come prevelant in certain counties
OF the State. A common method by
which disease is carried is through
the traveller. A family that has been
exposed will often carry the dis
ease to a healthy community.
Berea needs the protection OF
proper quarantine regulations to
prevent the members Of family
where there is contagious sickness
from spreading the disease. Every
good citizen who loves his neigh
bors would certainly not wish, eth
er for himself or his children, to ex-
pose others to possible sickness and
death. Rather he would submit to
the necessary restraint imposed by
quarantine regulations.
Why should not the town marshal
be authorized to enforce such wise
regulations as would be established
by Board of Health for the protec-
ton Of the community.
Certainly Berea has enough in
telligent and philosophical physi-
clans to provide a Board Of Health
Of unusual ability and discernment.

MENTAL TEST

In cooperation with the Educa-

a series Of memory
tests are being conducted in the
various institutions Of learning
turnout the country. The students
OF Berea were examined Monday
and Tuesday. The student body
was divided into sections. Each sec
ton met at a different place Mon
day. Some were shown moving pic
lures Of farming by dynamite. The
story Of the same was read TO the
others. On Tuesday each section
met to take an examination on the
work seen or heard the day before.
The test was to determine whether
or not memory Of things seen is
stronger than the memory Of things
heard. A large number took the ex-
animation.

ject, he told of the founding of the

il is now doing. In the latter part
Of the address, a vivid picture of the
election of the national officers was
given. At this election Professor
Dodge was elected Junior Vice-Com-
mander. The address was entertain
ing and helpful as well as instruc-
tive TO everyone who had the plea
sure of hearing it.
