In nearly every contest that
arises between employers and en-.
ployes the general public is the
sufferer...A few months ago the an.
thracite coal miners demanded q
raise in wages and it was granted.
The raise, it is estimated, will not
exceed 25c per ton and possibly
lees than that, yet the Wholesale
dealers are putting on about $1.OO
a ton.
The railroad employees are dc.
manding an increase which the
railroad officials estimate will in.
crease taeir expense of operation
about 100000, 10000. If il is
granted, of course, traffic rates will
be raised to cover it, and in doing
so the increase would doubtless be
double that amount, while the
public pays the bill.
The public has no way of know.
ing whether they are being held up
in these deals or not, as they have
nc voice in the adjustments. There
certainly ought TO be some official
supervision over these transactions
that the iAterest of the public might
be looked after, II might be we'll
to enlarge the Jurisdiction of the
interstate commerce commission
so as to cover wages as we'll as
rates charged BY the railroad com.
panies.

The problem; Of finding good reliable

plicants by the score, but only i few
are really worthy Of considefation.
Some lack maturity of judgment. 9TH

Dorothy Smith, of Avon District No.
Sc, offers the following why Birds
Should Be Protected"
"The birds should be protected be-
cause many of them, such as the robin
and woodpecker, help in destroying
bugs and worms that otherwise would
destroy fruit and grain. Some birds
like,he wild canary and eoldfincil are
fine song birds. ,MAnv of the states
have laws prohibiting the killing IT
any song birds. South Dakota has
such II law ard / think it o very, good
one. There are, of course, SOME, birds
that destroy fruit and gram, but what
would the winter be without tie En-
glish sparrow and snow bird chirping
about and making things CHEEKY"

Thirty-two years ago there resided in
Yankton man by the name OF j. p.
Wagner, who manufactured organs aud
brooms. Mr.. Wagner raised his own
broom corn AMI to facilitate the work
of planting arranged with Mr.. l.. Karr
to give him an organ for broom corn
planter which Mr.. Karr manufactured.
The organ which Mr.. Karr secured was
the first one put out by MIR. Wagner
land probably the first ever made in this
part of the country. 1t has always re-
manned in the Karr family and few
weeks ago its existance came to the at
tention of Hon. Doane Robinson, state

Eugene Karr, saw the instrument and
promptly negotiated for securing it for

! close of the war with the object of
setting up a court or other tribunal
to settle international disputes. Mr..
Hensley told the president that he
believed his amendment made the
naval bill an assurance to foreign ma
items that the United States was arm
ing for defense only, not for an Of
fensive purpose, and was ready to en-
ter into an agreement to settle inter
national disputes amicably.
The president did not commit him
self definitely to the amendment, but
Mr.. Hensley gained the impression
that he was favorable to the general
principles involved.
While Mt. Hensley did not reveal
details of his conversation with the
president he said he wished the peo-
pie generally could realize tho
thoughts in the presidents mind in
considering peace and the mary ques-
t1ons bearing on it which he is con-
sideriag. Mr.. :Hensley left the White
House satisfied that the president
would do everything possible to bring
about peace in Europe and to main
tain. it after the end of the war,
Mr.. 4Hensley- said he believed the
people of the iUnited States generally
were looking to the president2to play
an important part in minimizing the
danger of war in the future. He told
the presidet he saw no reason why
the time should not come when an: in
ternational court could have the same
standing. as the United states@gB3as- 81
preme court and when it's decisions
would be respected in the same way.

Washington, May 25.-Presiden
Wilson told callers today that the
Intervention of a neutral in behalf Of
peace of Europe could rest only on g
mutual understanding by the bellig'
erents that terms to be arranged are
to- conserve the interests of all, and
Of the world at large, rather than
those of particular nation or group
of nations among the warning powers
Mr.. Wilson did not disclose any def
mite plan of action he may have
formulated in regard to peace nor
authorize formal statement of his
attitude. His callers gained an i'm
preston, however, that the president
would entertain suggestions that he
extend his good Offices to. the bellig-
erents to bring about peace only when
the conditions he outlined were like
ly. of fulfllment.. =.
Those: who discussed the general
subject Of peace with Mr.. Wilson
construed his remarks as probably
forecasting to some extent what he
will say here later i'm the week, ad-
dressing the'i League to Enforce
Peace. The impression has obtained
in official circles that his remarks at
that time would have ,an important
bearing on the peace discussions re-
Gently in Berlin and London as we'll
as in the American press.
Mr.. Wilson pointed out to his call
ers that there are many. elements in
the situation in EuroSsY all Of which
must be taken into account in con-
Of peace proposals: While

The Still Small Voice,

Pee Dee Advocate.
81 would like therefore to think the
spirit of this occasion could be ex-
pressed if we imagined ourselves lift
ing some sacred emblem Of counsel
and Of peace of accommodation and
righteous judgment before the ma
tions of the world and reminding
them of that passage in scripture,
AFTER THE WIND, AFTER THE
EARTHQUAKE, AFTER THE FIRE,
THE STILL SMALL VOICE OF HUI
MANITY."
The words in capitals above, from
the closing paragraph of President
Wilson'S speech at Charlotte, seem
to have been generally regarded as
literal quotation from the Bible.
The newspaper reports of the the
speech place the closing phrase in
quotation marks. The fact is, how
ever, the president merely gave a
brief and striking condensation Of
several verses of scripture. His
meaning may be more fully grasped
by reading the verses in full, or,
better still, the whole of the 18th
chapter of First Kings.
Elijah, fleeing from the death sell
tence pronounced by Jezebel, had
gone far into the wilderness. Tired,
hungry and disheartened, the old
prophet sat down under a juniper
tree and prayed that he might die.
Then he slept; and an angel touched
him and showed him food which he
ate. He was directed to stand UP
en- the mount before the Lord"
No doubt Elijah expected the Lord
to come WITH some mighty manifes-
.tation of power. AS he stood there,
waiting, we are told, Tin j Kings,
19:11-12):
"a great and strong wind rent the
mountains. and brake, In pieces the
rocks before the Lord; but the Lord
was not in the wind. And after the
wind an earthquake: but the Lord
was not in the earthquake, And at
ter the. earthquake FIRE; and the
Lord was rot in the fire. And after
the fire still small voice."
1t was the voice of God, which
asked, .eWhat doest thou here Eli
Jah?' and gave him directions for
his final work on earth and the Sc
lection OF. his successor, Elisha.
May we hope, with President Will
son, that, after the awful cataclysm
in Europe, in which the Lord is not,
there may come His still small voice,
directing the whole of humanity to
permanent peace and happiness.
