BleaSe Not Friend
of President Wilson

In reply to a letter from Thomas H
Daniel, Washington correspondent of
the Spartanburg Herald, asking for an
expression on the senatorial race in
South Carolina, President Wilson wrote
as follows:
My Dear Mr.. Daniel: Replying to
your letter of August 18th, let me say
that have perfect confidence that the
people of South Carolina will Judge
rightly in the senatorial contest and |
have not the least fear that they will
believe that Mr.. Blease is or can be a
friend to he administration. The rec
ord of his opinions is already written
and it is a little late to expunge it.
Sincerely yours,
WOODROW WILSON"

THE DUMB MOTHER;
HOW SHE SUFFERS
All For The Vanity Of The Human
Being Who Covers Body
With Her EurS

Some time ago a bitter complaint
from Australia, of savage cruelty to
fur-bearing creatures, was published.
About 100000 opossum skins are
yearly exported from that land, and an
eye witness stated that it was COM
mon sight in Aus sralia, to see the poor
mother opossum lying dead, or dying
in the steel trap, while her starving
little ones crowded round her. seeking
the nourishment she could no longer
give. This spectacle seemed to call
for vengeance ON the cold-hearted
land which permit ed such things, but
does 1t not call more loudly for retri-
button on those who make themselves
responsible by buying, and wearing
the skins OF those hapless dumb
mothers
When Henry Bergh started his cru
SADIE against the cruelty of trapping,
he was interrupted in his work through
lack of funds. Monsieur Bonnard, a
Canadian Frenchman, who had made
fortune in the fur trade, by trapping,
left it to further Bergh's work, for he
had seen such cruelties prac iced on
animals in his business. memory had
become horror" and SO the fortune
wrought from the blood and terror of
the animal heart, went to its balm and
succor''
Discourage the use of furs. Fur
animals caught in the traps (which
are are not visited often, or are ne
glected) sometimes suffer terrible
agonies for days before they die.
And the cause of all this suffering
is vanity-the desire to ornament the
human body with the heads, tails,
claws, and skins of our furry little
brothers of the wood.

APPEALS ALONE WILL
NOT INCREASE MORALE

That no amount of patriotic CONVEX
sation will increase the morale of the
woman who works if she has good
reason to be dissatisfied with her job
is the viewpoint of Mary Anderson,
assistant director of the Women in
Industry Service of the Department
of Labor
I'm fact" says Miss Anderson, mere
lip patriotism may have quite the OPP
posite effect, for it gives the women
workers the right to question the real
patriotism of employers who main
tain improper working conditions.
1.-The best way to- increase the
morale of all workers is to have a
complete understanding between the
employer and the employees. This can
best be brought about by having a
committee elected by the employees to
represent them The employees must
be given the assurance that they have
the privilege of expressing themselves
freely without standing the chance of
losing their jobs.
.Such conferences will ultimately
increase production, for they will
make for more efficient work on the
part of the employees. Generally the
wage earners know far more about
the inner workings of shop than the
employer. who is unable to take time
to study the minute details of his es-
adjustment"

THE COAL CRITIC"

The chronic kicker, the penny-wise
poundfoolish man; the coal critic
who discriminates as to sizes of an
thracite and will have nothing but his
certain kind; all these are now either
berating the Fuel Administration or
abusing Fuel Administrators because
they do not have what they regard as
a sufficient supply of coal in their cell
lars. Many of them did not place or
ders until just now. AS it is, they
publicly are Indignant"
There are those who wilfully will
not see facts. Wartime abnormal de-
mands for coal; shortage of labor !;
consumption of coal at an abnormal
rate; increased population due to mu-
milton plants, and the like. These
were conditions which householders
knew las. April. When Spring prices
came, the wise ordered their coal sup
ply. and they have it now very large
ly in their cellars. This should be
done, every year. but it is not.
Every Fuel Administrator has done,
is doing, and will continue to do his
best for the public. Equally has the
anthracite industry performed won
ders with $4,000 mine-workers short /;
the loss of 100000 tons output

AT THE COLONIAL T0NIGHT

Dainty Shirley Mason and Ernest

attraction at the Colonial this eve
ming.
Emmy Little, a stenographer, is a
staunch patriot and she decides 10 do
her bit for her country by running
down German spies. She suspects her
employer and when Prof. Schmell
calls upon him. she decides to watch
him. She takes a room at the Pro-
fessor's boarding house. She is loved
by Eddy Short, who enlists in the
United States Army and becomes a
sergeant at Camp Upton. and also by
otto Schott, a drafted man. Both
hate each other cordially. Otto is in
the inner counsels of band of Hun
spies and he plots not only to win
Emmy, but TO slay her uncle. Colonel
Little. He entices Emmy to the coun-
try home of his aunt where he shows
her several Hun spies trussed up, and
she Is so overpowered at his vigil
lance that she consents to wed him on
the spot. Their marriage follows and
Eddie Short is a most disconsolate
witness. The newlyweds motor to the
railroad station and meanwhile the
Hun spies entrap Colonel Little in
cellar and place him in a large box
into which they force gas and escape.
Eddie follows them and holds them at
the point of a revolver until the police
arrive and arrest them. He then re-
turns to the home of Otto's "aunt"
and forces that woman to reveal Col
onel Titles plight, with the result
that Eddie rescues him just as he is
becoming unconscious. 1t happens
that the express train which the new
lyweds planned to take is late and
Eddie is enabled to intercept them with
the aid of detectives. 1t transpires
that Otto has two wives in Berlin and
his marriage with Emmy is annulled
Eddie is promoted to be lieutenant and
Emmy ultimately weds the little pa
triotic soldier who has done so much
for his country.
In this superb photo-comedy, Shir-
ley Mason is huge delight while her
co-star, Ernest Truck, who is a COM
edian of rare powers, and who has
appeared in practically every city in
the United States in musical comedy
productions. will prove a source of
real enjoyment when seen in the role
of Eddie Short
Interesting Travelogue also.

there is no reason why they may not
be permitted to return to their homes
