SHERIFF GRAHAM RESIGNS.

D. C. Graham, for nearly two
terms sheriff of Highland, sent his
resignation to Judge Holt last week
and recommended as his successor
Hubert Smith, who some time ago,
was a deputy.
The Judge accepted Mr.. Graham's
resignation, appointed Mr.. Smith,
and before half the county knew
anything of the transaction, the
county had new officer, MI. Smith
Qualifying and giving security last
Monday.
1t is understood that Mr.. Graham
gave the inadequate salary as his
reason for resigning the place, he
having applied to the Board of Sup
arvisors at its last meeting for an
increase, and being turned down. -
Mr.. Graham's future plans are
not known, but. he will probably re-
main a resident of the town for a
while at least. He is now at Deer
field employed at carpenter work.
The new official is young farmer
of the Hightown community, and 1t
may be his purpose to carry the
sherifalty as a side line, not a bad
idea, and some thing that both the
| compensation and duties will ordi-
narily admit of. Highlanders are
proverbially law-abidinS, and there
| is but little of a criminal character
to be attended by the sheriff.

Presidents Labor Day Message
Promising NV Footing
For Wages,

The President Sunday made
public the following Labor day
message
| am encouraged and gratitied
by the progress which is being
made in controlling The cost Of
living. The support Of the
movement is widespread and |
confidently look for substantial
results, although | must counsel
patience as We'll as vigilence be-
c'use such results will not come
instantly or without teamwork.
Let me again emphasize my
appeal to every citizen of the
country to continue to give his
PERSONAL support IN this matter.
and to make il as active as pos
sjble. Let them not only refrain
from doing ANYTHING which at
tie moment vii, tend to increase
tile cost of living, but let him dc
all in his power to increase the
production and further than
that, let him at the same time
himself carefully economic in
the consumption. By common
action in this direction we shall
overcome a danger greater thar
the danger Of war. We will hold
steady situation which is
fraught with possibilities of hard
ship and suffering to d large par
of our population We will eua
bic the processes of production
to overtake the processes Of cor
sumption, and we will speed thu
restoration of an adequate pur
chasing power for wages.
am particularly gratitied a
the support which the govern
ment's policy has received from
the representative of ORGANIZED
labor and | earestly hope tina
tue workers generally will EN-
phatically indorse the position
OF taeir leaders and thereby NOV
with the government instead O
against 1t in the solution Of thi.
greatest domestic problem.
am calling for an early ;
date as practicable conference
in which authoritative represen
tatiVes of labor and of those who
direct labor will discuss funda
mental means Of lettering the
Whole relationship of capital an(
labor aud putting the whole queS
ton of wages upon another foot.
ing. WOODROW WILSON.
