country from one end TO the other,
says the Macon News Mir Lawson
charges he was informed by Congress
man Henry that Secretary McAdoo
had advance knowledge of the peace
note aud played the stock market to
advantage MIR. Henry denies making
any such statement TO Lawson, while
Secretary McAdoo says the charge
is a malicious lie,
II is up to congress now to sift
the entire matter thoroughly. High
officials should not be allowed to rest
under such charges We are inclined
20 the belief that MIR. Lawson will be
unable to substantiate his statements,
We have every confidence in the abil-

CHARLESTON, May 14.-Patriotic

occasion to submit to West Virginia

"In this crisis" declares the gov

cause of the shortage of labor and
the large number Of able-bodied men

employed being taken at the request
of the State Council of Defense will
present an amazing showing. 1t is
almost uncomfortable that just at this
moment when wages are higher and
working conditions better than ever
before when there is great shortage
of labor on the farms, in the factories
and in the mines, and the nation in a
great war urging every man, woman
and child to conserve food supplies

of young able.bodied men should be
idle in the cities and towns Of this
Industrial state, idle, not because they
can not get work but because they do
not want it, idleness must be penaliz-

aroused that it will be impossible for
the idle person to live content in any
