Letter From Pearidge

MIR. Editor: Will you allow me space
in the good old Sentinel for a few scat
tering remarks? 1t seems that the an
nouncement columns are growing in most
of county Offices except our law making
columns. 1t seems as our people have
got disgusted with the laws our leaders
have been making and won't announce.
Why don't some one come to the front
with grit enough to introduce some laws
that would be of benefit to us poor class
of people, instead of making some dog
law, game and license law. Introduce
law that will make an honest man of
me. Enact law if go to my neigh
Dor and buy his goods that he can make
me pay for 1T, or work for the county
until he is paid. And then work me
until the county is satisfied. Some one
said this would ruin us poor class of
people. 1t would be the best law they
could make. 1t would make honest cit
izens where we have dishonest ones.
If some one will come to the front on
this platform will canvass the entire
county in their benefit. PEARIDGE.

THINKS We SHOULD FIRST
OWN HOUSE IN ORDER
John J. Hopper Says This Nation Is
Not in Position to Act as
Monitor.

TT i'll becomes us to set ourselves up
as monitors and teachers of other ma
tions till we have our own house in
order and Justice rules in all parts of
our own land" said John ]. Hopper of
New York. who presided at the con-
ference on real preparedness at the
opening session In the Raleigh Hotel
this afternoon. He took for his sub
ject Specialization of Natural Re-
sources Essential to Real Prepared
ness"
I'VE can hardly claim to have reached
this standard when 100000 children
between ten and fifteen years of age
are working their young lives out in
factories. in mines and on farms, in
stead of attending school," he said.
we can hardly claim this distinction
when nearly 1,650.000 citizens are
killed or maimed by our railroads and
factories every year.
What "Real Preparedness" Means.
Real preparedness means the elimina-
ton of waste by the socialization Of all
natural resources and their utilization for
the benefit Of all and not for private specu-
lation. Private ownership Of natural re-
sources enables the few to levy tribute
on the many as effectively as a conquer
ing nation does upon subjected one and
with no more sanction of Justice"
In closing he said exploitation Of nat
ural resources for private speculation. as
has been abundantly proved from well
known authorities. means inefficiency,
frightful waste and huge burdens upon
the manufacturers and workers of the
country.
Letter From President Wilson.
Between forty and fifty persons were
in attendance when the conference
opened, and a letter from President
Wilson. expressing his regret for being
unable to attend the sessions. was read.
The conference will continue through
tomorrow.
Benjamin c. Marsh. executive secre-
tary of the League OF Municipal Owner
ship and Operation in New York city,
also addressed the conference. He said
the horrors of war seem necessary to
drive home the cruelties and exploita-
tions of peace, and to secure action to
terminate them. He said that to be
prepared. however. every adult able
bodied person must work for a living,
and that no one can be permitted to
make a dollar out of natural monop-
oily.

SENATE FIRM AGAINST
100000 RELIEF FUND
Disagreement Between Congressional
Conferees Over Aid to Families
of Enlisted Men.

1nsistence upon its amendment to the
House military drafting resolution.
striking out the million dollar relief
appropriation for dependents OF en-
listed men. was ordered by the Senate
today. after a disagreement on that
issue had been reported by Its con-
ferees.
Senators Chamberlain. Warren and
Hitchcock were reappointed the con-
ference committee and directed to re-
new negotiations with House conferees.
Another effort probably will be made
to induce Representative Hay and his
House colleagues to eliminate all ref
erence to relief. including even the SEN
ate proposal to provide exemption from
service for enlisted men with de-
pendent families.
Cause Of Failure to Agree.
Final action by Congress on the Hay
resolution was being delayed by failure
Of Senate and House conferees to agree
on the much discussed provision appro-
priating $1,o00.000 for the relief of de-
pendent families Of guardsmen.
There was no disagreement. how
ever, over the main feature of the reso-
luton providing for drafting of guards
men and the provision to permit con-
solidation of scattered units of the Ma
tional Guard. Army officers are more
latter provision. since without the au-
thority it would give. they believe, the
work of getting guardsmen to the bor-
der is being delayed.
