THE HALF HOLIDAY

The question of the weekly
half holiday has been brought
prominently before the people
of the valley by the favorable
action taken by the Graham
County Athletic Association or
the recommendation of the com
mittee on constitution that the
half holiday be established.
The success of the half holi-
day will depend greatly upon the
action of the business men in the
several towns of the valley when
the day for giving the holiday
will be proposed.
There is considerable opposi-
tion to a Friday half holiday and
there are some who believe that
the half holiday should be given
only during the base ball season,
or during the summer months,
from May 1st to October 1st.
From October 1st to May 1st, it
will be easy enough. perhaps,
for the farmers to give a weekly
half holiday, but it may prove a
hardship during the summer
months when the real work on
the valley farms is in full pro-
gress.
Those who favor a weekly half
holiday believe Saturday after
noon is much more preferable
than Friday afternoon. and that
it will be a matter of educating
the buying public to complete
their purchases by loo o'clock
on Saturday. if the afternoon of
that day should be agreed upon
as the time for the holiday.
The half holiday means the es-
tablishment of a five and one
half day working week, instead
of a six day working week, and
it will also mean full six days
wages for the workers, which is
proper and all businesses must be
adjusted to the new order of
things.
The establishment of the half
holiday to allow the employees
and employers to attend and take
part in athletic sports will be
beneficial to the entire commun-
ity, but its success will depend
entirely on the day selected.
The half holiday on Friday after
noon would allow dances or other
social functions at night, which
would not interfere with the.ob-
servance of the Sabbath Day as
a day of rest and worship. The
Saturday half holiday, followed
by a dance at night, might result
in the dance continuing into Sun
day morning, but this can be
averted very easily by starting
the dance earlier in the evening
and stopping at HAS p. M, and
III 50 doing there will be no desc
Grafton of the Sabbath Day.
it is contended by those op-
posed to base ball games or other
sports on Sunday afternoons,
that the half holiday will prevent
the desecration of the Sabbath
Day by holding these events on
week day, and that ball games
and other sports would become
more popular and better patron
lied if held on week day, hence
their advocacy of the weekly
half holiday.

Mr.. Knox's recipe for being
kind to Germany is to be unjust
to every other nation which she
has conquered or attacked in the
last 200 years.
Graham guardian., 1919-09-26

argues to the conclusion that we
should carcel the present treaty
and make another which will re-
heve Germany of the obligations
and limitations upon the enforce
ment of which alone the world
can be insured against a second
barbaric outbreak upon her part.
We have been harsh, says Senator
Knox, to the Germany that con.
cocted and prosecuted the most
ferocious attack ever made upon
civilization. We have no right
to bind the hands of this monster
of militarism, he tells us, in effect,
and contends that to guarantee
Germany's willing acceptance of
her defeat we should treat her
like a victor.
Is the reconstruction of Belgium
an act of harshness on the part
of the Allies, including the United
States. and cruelty to Ger.
many? Is sthe restitutionof Alsace-
Lorraine to France an injustice
to the Prussian aggressors who
took it as the spoils of war? Is
the rehabilitation of Poland,
which the imperial ancestor of
Kaiser Wilhelm II helped to par
eel among his contemporary auto
Gratis in Austria and Russia, an
infringement of German rights
Is the guarantee Of autonomous
government for Schleswig-Hol-
stein, raped from inoffensive and
helpless Denmark, an outrage
upon German sovereignty? Is
Frances temporary control of the
Saar mines as a measure of COM
pensation for the destruction of
cathedrals, schools hospitals,
mines. vineyards, forests, fields
and homes in a fifth of the French
domain which was overrun by a
ruthless Prussian horde. a wrong.
full deprivation of German pro-
prietorship? Is the establish
ment of the pew European States
the liberation of small nations
from the despotism Of the Ger
man and Austro Hungarian en-
pires "a crime against Prussian
superiority?
Well, these are some of the
fruits of American participation
in the war-a few of the benefac-
tions which the pending treaty
purposes to guarantee and per-
petuate, at the expense Of Ger
many, true enough, but for the
advantage of a dozen other peo-
piles. To undertake now to ne
gotiate a new treaty with Ger
many-if the American nation
would for a moment contemplate
so preposterous an adventure
would be to ALLEVIATE ourselves
from our former associates in the
war; to deal with a foe grown
ten months stronger than when
he laid down his arms. and to
face the alternative of surrender
ing most of what we now stand
possessed or of fighting alone to
enforce our claims for more.
Let the New York Tribune, an
inveterate republican organ and
persistent opponent of the League
of Nations. estimate the intent
and effect of Senator Knox's
speech. After pointing out that
it is now the mission of German
propaganda to beget the impress
sion that Germany has been de-
spoiled, the Tribune says:
1T is not agreeable to have it
possible for Germany, as she la
bors to create sympathy for her.
self, able to quote the words of
one of our best American public
men in support of her claims of

If partisan spokesman of Mr..

tacks upon the treaty and the
League of Nations ventures that
close to on indictment of Senator
Knox's Americanism, what will

Denies There Was Mutiny on Ship
 in Brest HarbOr

New York, Dec. 22.---Denial that there had been mutiny in the crew of the transport Ameri- ca, which docked here yesterday with 13 men in the brig was made today by Major General David C.. Sharks, commander of the port of standardization, in a telegram to Brig. General Frank T. Hines, chief of transportation of the war department. The trouble, the tele- gram said, resulted from failure of certain members of the crew to obey instructions prohibiting shore liberty and offering of ships stores and cargo.
 The telegram from General Shanks follows:
 "There was no mutiny. No shots were fired and no one was wounded. The trouble with crew of the America was of two kinds: First, failure of certain members of crew to obey instructions pro- hibiting shore liberty at Brest; second, pilfering of ships stores and cargOes.
 "On arrival in Brest shore liber- ty was granted but on account of drunkenness and bad behavior of certain members of crew on shore, the master of the ship, at the re- quest of French authorities, stop ped all shore liberty.
 Several members of the crew announced they would go ashore any way and proceeded to do so on a lighter under cover of dark ness, but were discovered by the ships officer and sent back to the ship. Other members of the crew also went in life boats at night. These men were appre- hended on return and placed in the brig.
 "There was considerable steal ing of ships stores and cargo. Several men are in the brig for this offense. There is a total of 13 men in the brig at present.
