Thsrs were intimations that
should the labor leaders continue

make an appeal to the railroad

leaders TO postpone the strike.
There was evidence that an ap-
psal had hssn made to the leaders,

not besn asked to do % by ths

enable us to see straight. The first
phase of the question we will see with
our scientific spectacles is that the
facts alone in any problem cOnsd-
tute the truth. 1t is then very prob
able that we will not be misled by
professional and diIletante leaders
CD in economic science, who claim
present-day standards as final, right,
true, eternal and changeless. When
in doubt regarding any economic
problem make visit to the economic
OcUlist, who will show you how to
find the least common denomination
in any given problem. He will guide
you along the economic ocean with
the sure compass of facts.
The oculst speaks: IF the in
crease in the intensity of labor or the
mass of labor keeps some fair proper
ton to the decrease in the extent Of
the working day, the working man
will still be the winner. If this limit
is overshot he loses in one form what
he has gained in another, and ten
hours of labor may then become as
ruinous as twelve hours were before.
In checking this tendency of capital,
by struggling for a rise of wages. cor
responding to the rising intensity of
labor, the working man only resists
the depreciation of his labor and the
deterioration of his race"
The hodge-podge of stupidity and
sham solemnity INDUCED in by the
Paul Reveres" of our glorious sys-
tenn in solicitude for the sacred 90
principle of arbitration would be
laughable were it not a tragic fact
that they (railroads) have times
without number rejected and can
ned, both overly and secretly, the
principle of arbitration when it suited
their needs and purposes. But when
for once it has become retroactive
and boomeranged in favor of labor,

.DrusilIa With a Million.

Elizabeth Cooper has written a
story around the old plot of the poor
and deserving person who receives
large inheritance from an unknown
relative. The story is different,
though, as il has TO do with an old and
friendless woman who is the drudge
in an old women's home. 1t is called
"Drusilla With a Million - and il
tells what Drusilla does with the mill
lion.
The story is delightfully."- ingenious
in it's treatment of Drusilla when she
receives the money. Though she lives
in a palace. such as she has never
seen before, no cares of management
fret her: her position soon becomes
natural and unembarrassing. and.
like most Cinderellas, she wears her
new clothes well. The pinched intel
lect of the home broadens and eX-
pands under the influence of her new
surroundings. until Drusilla is ap-
parently as much a part of the philan-
thropic world in which she becomes
interested as anyone.
And, you will be reminded from
time TO time. Drusilla is - years old

"lOur Congress-"

How politics has become an end in
itself instead of being the agency for
the application of moral and econom-
ic principles to the life of the people
is told by Lynn Haines of the National
Voters League in his book, Your
Congress-" Mr.. Haines claims to show
how leaders have been able, because
Office and the perquisites of office are
the ends of modern politics, to control
the House of Representatives, in the
darkness of no publicity, through
standing committees and specially de-

For reform. Mr.. Haines recommends
complete publicity through roll calls,
divorcing of spoils of legislation and
politics, reform of rules and real ma

Self-cultivation for the young girl,
the standard that should be reached
by the college girl at graduation and
the highest ideals for college girls are
touched upon by Lee Baron Russell
Briggs in his collection of essays en-
titled "To College Girls"
In this volume the author has
sought to inspire both the college girl
and her less fortunate sister with the
ambition for self-improvement. He
recommends a course of readings
designed to improve the mind and de-
velop the intellect of the girl who
must spend the greater part Of her
day selling hairpins in the department
store He advises courses and maps
out lines of study that will best serve
the college girl in her struggle for
success.

REMEMBERS THE HOG LOT
ON GUITAR BUILDING SITE

Here is the second oldest citizen of
Columbia-William Wingo, who lives
at 1904 Wilkes boulevard. He was
born in South Carolina in 1922. and
has lived in Boone County for eighty
one years. He is 81 years old.
"In 1885, eighty-one years ago" said
Mr.. WingO, Il left South Carolina for
Missouri in a two-horse, covered
wagon with my father and others.
Central and Western Missouri were
then considered wild country.
After riding over rough, hilly cOun-
try for eight weeks. with no trail to
follow, and not a sprinkle of rain 10
wet us. we were convinced that Mis-
souri, was wild.
"Where Columbia now stands was
nothing but a village. grown up with
underbrush for the most part; and |
remember the position of every house.
For long time there was a large

rough-looking wood, and I remember
that for a long time there was only
one brick house in town. I was offer
ed the lots just east of the courthouse
for COW and calf, the COW being
valued at $3.50 and the calf at almost
nothing. We did not use much money
then. People 'swapped' for almost
everything they got, and we got along
all right without even swapping very
much.
"In 1913 | attended the University

one from Kansas"
Mr.. Wingo, despite his age, is
seldom idle a minute during the day.
He reads the newspapers. During the
last fifty years he has prepared a
scrapbook containing clippings from
newspapers published before 1910.
This book is kept locked in a bureau
drawer. and is treasured more than
anything else he has. He has also
kept a diary for more than forty years
in which he has recorded accurately
weather conditions and important
events. 1t is another of his treasured
possessions. When the weather is
agreeable, Mr.. Wingo takes his hoe
and works in the garden and upon
the lawns of his houses. During the
summer not a weed gets to be more
than a few inches high on any of his
property.
MY hoe" said Mr.. WingO, was
made by old John Davenport, who
kept Il blacksmith shop near Halls
Vile. about fifty-five years ago. | told
him to put on a good hickory handle.
When he came to me with the hoe
some time afterward. he said. Here's
your hoe, Wingo / walked five miles
to find that handle The handle is
still good, and SO is the hoe; it is just
out of style now; that is all that is
wrong with it."
Mr.. Wingo has experienced few
days of sickness during his ninety
four years. He is yet man of bust
ness ability and vigor.

The first pale days before the buds

The sun will love them into life, to

]. Nj. Batterton said today that he
thought it was an organization that
would do much good for the Democ-
racy of the future.

in all of the state Schools" remarked
the mayor, "as | believe they would
do much to stimulate interest in poll

also do much to create a more
thorough knowledge Of national sub
iects and their relation to politics"

Politics is the gateway to every
thing the Government has to offer or
to withhold from the people. At pres
ent no real advancement in Industrial
conditions, no vital change in govern
ment, can come except through politi-
cal action. No economic theory, no
moral idea, can become a reality, ex-
cepting through the instrumentality of
politics. And that is the only legiti-
mate function that policies has-to
serve as the agency for the applica-
tion of economic and moral principles
to the life of the people. Politics
should be only the means to that end
but in modern politics organization
has become an end in itself The end
is Office and the ever-increasing
perquisites of Office"

AT college, if you have lived right
ly, you have found enough learning to
make you humble; enough friendship
to make your hearts large and warm:
enough culture to teach you the re-
finement of simplicity: enough
wisdom to keep you sweet in poverty
and temperate in wealth. Here you
have learned to see great and small in
their true relation: to look at both
sides of a question: to respect the
point of view of every honest man and
woman. and to recognize the point of
view that differs most widely from
your own. Here you have found the
democracy that excludes neither poor
nor rich and the quick sympathy that
listens to all and helps in the very
listening"

"One way to deal with these
strange. excited. inexperienced and in
tensely human things called freshmen
is to let them founder until they
drown or swim; and this way has
been advocated by men who have no
boys of their own. 1t is delightfully."-
simple, if we can only shut eye and
ear and heart and conscience; and it
has a kind of plausibility in the eX-
amples of men who through rough
usage have achieved strong character.
The objection as a master of a great
school said the other day, is the
waste; and he added. it is such an
awful thing to waste human life"
This method is a cruel method, ignor-
ing all the sensiblities of that deli
cate, high-strung instrument which
We call the soul If none but the fit
test survived, the cruelty might be
defended; but some who unhappily
cannot drown, become cramped swim
