THE PRICE OF SILVER

The recent squirt in the price of silver leads to the
belief that a restoration to the high price OF II IA cents
in Nav is among the possibilities. At that time the price
advanced about 30 cents. With a similar rise the price
would be near to the ancient parity of 10 to 1. There is,
however. not at present much expectation that the price
will go up to any such figure.
The present demand is not only very strong from the
far east. but is very heavy in Europe. where it is being
coined rapidly to pay the troops. Bankers in this country
have manifested great interest in the extent to which the
latter coinage will go. 1t amounts practically to reopen
ing the minis to free coinage on the old basis. but 1t IS
not believed it will extend to what will amount to lntla-
ton. 1t is we'll known that all of the b~el1gerent nations
have issued immense sums of paper money, which are
more or less covered by gold reserves.
One New York banker is of the opinion that free sill
yer coinage may be adopted by all OF the belligerent ma
tons after the war simply as an alternative to reputation
of large amounts of paper money or allowing it to become
greatly deprecated. Apparently there is no general be
lief that such a thing will take place, although it must
be admitted that important changes in world finance are
to come when the war is over and national obligations are
put on a permanent basis. About the only result in this
country is that a number OF mines long abandoned because
of the low price of silver are going into commission, and
this new supply will have a depressing effect on the price.

GOD HELP YOU; CANNOT"

God help you; | cannot is another Wilsonian
phrase that may become historic, like his too proud to
1t was made to the railroad presidents when the
president informed them that the brotherhood leaders had
rejected all offers of compromise and arbitration.
The president had been exerting himself on many
days, and we were told that he stayed up all one night tc
prepare his speech to the joint session of the two houses
of congress last Tuesday.
But God will not come to the help OF the railroad
presidents, any more than He has come to the help of the
warning nations in Europe. Providence has a habit of
permitting mankind to do a lot of foolish things and to
continue doing them until something happens that knocks
reason into them.
When we are no longer willing to arbtrate, that is,
when we are no longer willing to submit our cases to
judges and juries, all the facts on both sides and then
abide by the decision, we'll after that there is nothing to
do except to fight-just as they are doing in Europe. In
the European case England especially pleaded with Aus
tria and Serbia to submit their differences to a Joint high
commission of the nations of Europe, but Austria said it
had nothing to arbitrate; it was going to give Serbia the
licking it deserved. Well, the licking is still in progress,
for Serbia.
Arbitration is the one star-eyed goddess that we have
left in this world, the one great hope in the industrial
world where there are multiplying wars and rumors OF
wars. When men can no longer meet fairly and arbltrate
their differences, then indeed may we exclaim, not "God
help you,' but "God help us, and have mercy upon Our
country"

SHAVING THE HAIRY POILU"

A French general of high command has ordered tEar
soldiers be shaved, and that hereafter the French army
present a clean. open face to the enemy. This order is
much bewailed by poets and artists, who lament the prs
Dective disappearance of the hirsute adornn1ents that
have won for a considerable portion of the lighting forces
of La Belle France the descriptive appelation of hairy"
The general, however, is not moved bv any considerations
of sentiment, but supports his order by . statement that
the transportation wing of the army is now compelled to
carry a great many tons of unnecessary weight, the same
being represented by the bushy boards of the two million
odd men who are thus equipped.
While the new move may not increase the efficiency
of the French forces, it will go a long ways toward mini
MIXING the frightfulness of the war, II the illustrations
printed over here are accurate. Hair on the face IS no
longer emblematic of manhood, nor does its lack mean a
lessening of masculine virility, despite the remarks at
tributed to the kaiser. Many German soldiers are clean
shaven, while in the English and American armies it has
been the custom for many years to shave daily. A beard
in war time is a survival OF savagerY;. 1t IS l1nsanltary ana
unDrettv at any time. The clean-faced man has some
comfort his bearded brother can not understand. IT the
generals order is carried out, the French army will lose
something from the point of the picturesque, but IT will be
better looking hereafter.

COMPULSORY ARBITRATION FOR PUBLIC
UTILITIES

The Canadian system for the settlement OF industrial
disputes is called compulsory. The chairmen OF the 1our
brotherhoods, parties to the proposed railroad STRIKE nave
united in a statement in opposition to the Canadian sys-
tenn proposed to be applied to the United States by Presl-
dent Wilson. They declare it is the worst form OF hufndh
bondage since the days of negro slavery.
1t is we'll to bear in mind that the public is an lntel
ested party. Employers and employees even IN railroad
properties constitute a small per cent OF the populdllon'
A million men, more or less, cannot dispose OF the r1ghtS
of 90 millions without the 90 millions having a nearing.
Railroads are not private properties; they are not the
concerns of the men who own them nor OF the men WHO
work on them, for them to do as they please. lhey are
more than public utilities; they are human neceSs1t1es.
To stop them is like tying a bandage around the main
artery that sends the blood from the heart to every me'i-
Der of the body. To tie up the railroads is industrial ana
commercial murder.
1t must be evident by this time to both employers
and employees that they cannot do with these great arteries
as they see fit. The public has the right to intervene
and to intervene to the extent of military power, we De
lieve. We must believe so, or we must believe III the
right of disputants to murder the countrvs business at
will and to bring the people into hardships which might
become tantamount to starvation.
1t is no duty of the public to be starving, or to be
ruined in business, at least, while a million men are dis
putting about how many hours they shall work ana what
wages they shall be paid.
about such matters why shall not the greater pubic male
them into court, force them to state their respective cases
and then pass Judgment between them and order them
to proceed with the business?
In the army a man must obey orders; he cannot re-
sign or quit. In the case of railroads, when the public
court has spoken, a man can resign and our the employ
ment. 1t will not be compulsory to work, but l I one
elects to work on a public utility, he must perforce do that
work. The railroads cannot be stopped, no more than our
blood can be stopped.
The public has rights, the public that at one time
was told to be damned. And if the public abdicates It's
rights it will be damned, indeed, and anarchy will rule.

ANOTHER HOLY WAR" UNDER WAY

The sheriff of Mecca, who lays claim to the distinction
OF being the titular head of Islam because of his heritage
of the power and prestige of the prophet, has declared q
holy war against the Young Turks. This proceeding
will engage attention of students OF the great war as pre-
senting another angle of the complicated politics in
volved in the strife. 1t mounts to nothing, so far as its
religious significance is concerned. Several other forms
of holy" war have already been proclaimed. The sultan
of Turkey, pretending to be the herltOr of the prophet
issued a proclamation early in the course of his participa-
ton in the conflict, declaring the war to be holy, so far as
it applies to the entente allies, and unfurled the green ban
ner of Islam, but has not been supported unanimously by
followers of the prophet, who are fighting under many
flags. For the matter of that, the car OF Russia is the
head of one church, while the king of England and the
emperor of Germany are nominal heads of two other
branches. Each of these has, in effect, if not in words.
declared his cause holy, with the result that the student
OF the future is going to be pressed somewhat in his
effort to determine which of the several causes is the
more holy, unless he relies on the time-honored dictum
that God fights on the side of the heaviest artillery.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT MOBILIZATION

In these DAYS of worldwide military activity, it re-
uuires troop movement on a plane of national scope to
attract more than a momentarv notice, but a body that
was modified at Kansas City this week deserves atten-
ton beyond that accorded even an army. 1t was made up
of men whose fighting DAYS are over, whose work is done,
and who are o Iy waiting the call. Half a century ago
they were young and vigorous, full of the life OF sturdy
youth, and then they were called upon to perform duty
of the highest. How we'll they fulfilled the call, how com
pletely they perfected their work, is written in the growth
of the nation. And now they can look back from the sum
NIT of life's hill and see a wonderful magnificence along
the way they opened to human progress. The Grand
Army of the Republic will expire by limitation in time,
but while civilization endures its achievement will keep
bright the honor of the Boys of Oh

THREE OLD CRONIES

Edison, Ford and John Burroughs are spending I
little time together up in the Adirondacks. They are q
great trio. One is the richest manufacturer, one the
greatest inventor and the other the greatest lover OF M
lures manifestations. They will talk over many things,
but although two of them are on the verge of the grave,
it is not likely that a prayer will ever be said III Their
bunk house. Edison does not believe in a hereafter, and
stirred up a fuss about it a few years ago, and Bur
roughs is at most a gentle %pantheist, a man who believes
there is a little of God everywhere and no difinite God
ANYWHERE, and what Ford believes heaven knows, for, al
though he has fastened to enlighten us on many things he
has not vet tackled the subject of religion. He may do
it at anv time after he settles the wars in Europe.

Won HINDENBERG, CHIEF OF STAFF

The elevation of Field Marshal Won Hlndenberg to
be chief of staff of the German army is but another step
in the remarkable progress of a man who was slated for
the discard but a few years ago. 1t IS related that Won
Hindenberg was marked for permanent retirement before
he had made a personal appeal to the emperor. The old
general and his East Prussian lakes were a standing jest
among the Younger members of the great war machine,
but events have proved him to be the bulWark of Ger
many against the Russian invasion. Without Won Hin
denberg and the swamps into which he directed the first
incursion Of the Cossacks, the whole story OF the present
war would have been different. His defense of Prussia,
and his subsequent onslaught that drove the Russians
back into their own soil are the most notable achievements
of Germany in the war SO far. On neither front has an
other commander accomplished as definite results as has
Won Hindenberg, who has we'll earned his promotion

SLAVERY STILL EXISTS IN TEXAS

Conditions in Texas are deplorabe enough, almost
as bad as they were in the days of negro slavery, II what
the president of the Texas farmers association says is
true:
We have in this state nearly 100000 women
warking as farm hands in the field from sun to sun,
for 30 cents per dav, which is as much as products
of their toll will bear. IF the plan for an eight
hour dav is capable of giving the farm workers a
full DAYS pay for eight hours labor, we are for it;
but if it results in shifting either hours or dollars
from those who labor in industry to the backs of
those who follow the plow we are unalterably OPP
posed to it.
This is the word that he sent to the president of the
United States, protesting against the presidents basic
~eight-hour day and increased freight rates. But the main
thing in his statement is the admission that women work
in the fields of Texas, and that for the paltrv sum of so
cents a dav. There are no rooms in cities in which a
woman could buy sleeping room for that 50 cents a day,
unless she accepted conditions that would be utterly de
grading.
After all, how much worse were the blacks off when
as slaves they had all they could eat and good places in
which to sleep, since it was to the advantage of the owner
of the slaves to see that they were we'll fed and housed.
to the end that thev might remain in good health and be
to do hard work.
And We wonder if congress can pass a universal act
that will come to the relief of those who receive only 50
cents a dav as well as to the relief of those who receive
more? Or is it true in this also that to him who hath
shall be added and from him who hath not shall be taken
that which he hath not.

DIES ON WAY TO POST
consul M'NEELY WAS ON FIRST
MISSION FOR GOVERNMENT.
Monroe IN. Co. Man Was Accompanied
Abroad by His 1srother--Wealthy
Denver Boy on Ship.

Monroe. N. c., Jan. 3.--Robert N.
McNeely, who was passenger on the
.torpedoed steamship Persia, and is re-
ported to have persisted, belonged in
this city. Popular among his fellow
.townsmen, he was proceeding to his
post at Alden, Arabia, on his first mis-
sion for the government, that Of
American consul. His fate is q ques-
ton OF keen anxiety among his fell
low citizens.
1t was only October Is that Mr.. Nc
Nicely, who has relatives in Chicago,
was appointed consul at Alden.
Consul McNeely was accompanied
abroad by his brother, Dowd McNeely,
until recently editor of the Waxhaw
Enterprise, who was his secretary.
Robert was born near Waxhaw, N. c.,
in 1884. He was educated at the Uni
yersity of North Carolina and prac-
ticed law before entering the consular
service. He had been q member of
both houses Of the North Carolina gen.
eral assembly.

OF Denver. was on the passenger list
of the Persia. He was ON his way to
southern Spain to pass the holiday
season with his father, w. A. Rose,
who formerly lived In Denver. 1t is
presumed, therefore, the boy left the
Persia at Gibraltar.
Young Rose left Denver six years
ago and was being educated at Elton.
He had been left a legacy of $500, 600
or more by Mrs. Amelia Eddy-Smith
wife Of Rev. Edward F. Smith of Ok

KlLBANE GETS GOOD LICKING
Feather Champion Takes Punishment
In Battle With Richie Mitchell
Of Milwaukee.

Cincinnati, O., Jan. 3.-Ritchie
Mitchell, the Milwaukee candidate for
the lightweight title, had a clear shade
over Featherweight Champion Johnny
Kilbane at the Cincinnati Music hall.
The bout went the limit Of ten rounds
and abounded with action and the
hardest kind of furnishing throughout.
The men had been instructed by the
local boxing commission to unlimber,
and they followed instructions to the
letter. Mitchell flashed one OF the
fastest lefts ever seen in a local ring,
and 1t won the f1ght for him. Kilbane
slipped this blow in the early rounds,
but Mitchell soon solved Kilbane's de-
tense and returned the blow in such
way that the champion couldn't get
his Jaw and face out of the road. AS
a result Kilbane presented a CORY
spectacle at the finish.

At Christian Church.

Although the weather was inclem

Because of so much sickness and

pleasant success. The long line uI
of new recruits was an inspiration to
the older members.
