Clippings and Comments

There's one thing the prosperous
American does not like to gamble on,
and that is going to prison. And if a
few had been sent there, following in
Vulnerable Investigations and prosecu-
tions at a cost of millions of dollars
to the public, there would be less to
complain about. Let us hope that the
present move against plunderers of
the people will result in some real
good.-Dawson News.
The sign of the prison stripes is an
effective one as danger signal. 1t
will check many man who will hest
tate at nothing short of it.

The greatest asset to any country
goods roads. Public funds, by what
ever process raised, cannot be spent
for greater and more lasting good.
Progress can travel on nothing but
good roads.-Montgomery Monitor.
That's true. Progress and Pros
perity will always pick good road.

A farmer called at The Herald
Journal office last week and wanted
to use the phone. After the connec-
ton was made, and the customary
"hello" and Eyes" was exchanged the
man remained quiet for nearly five
minutes. The silence was so pain
full that we asked him, if the line was
in trouble. ooh, it's all right, work
ing fine, l am simply talking to my
wife. "-Greensboro Herald-Journal.
When a woman insists on doing all
the talking it is always a pleasure
to use the phone. You can go to
sleep and lay all the breaks on Cen
trail"
Do not be pessimistic about the
building of good roads. They are
coming if they have to lead by the
way of the cemetery where some of
the obstructionists are buried. In the
meantime every good word spoken
for the cause will hasten the day when
the county will be delivered from its
thralldom to mud.-Monroe Adver-
tiser.
Good roads are absolutely neces-
sAry because the day is fast approach
ing when truck transportation will
exceed railroad transportation. The
county that fails to provide roads will
remain in the wilderness.
Mention has been made of the fact
that present-day drug stores carry in
stock varied line ranging from sand
witches to instruments of music, while
drugs are handled as accessories.
Uncle Sam, not to be outdone, is bent
upon making bankers and grocery
clerks of postal employees as no small
part of the work of the postoffice will
be taken up with government securi-
ties and bacon-Monroe Advertiser.
We have no special complaint to
make against Uncle Sans new VEN
lures in business, but we do know
that it has Slowed down" the mail
service to an appreciate extent If
the postoffice could specialize on mail
service we think it would be better.
If every person in this town would
devote thirty minutes each week to
cleaning and identifying their premi-
ses and the public highways and va
cant places we would soon be living
in a veritable Garden of Eden. And
it is so simple, easy, and without ma
terial cost. But like every other prop
osition in life, it requires a head,
directing genius, someone to take the
lead and push it along and keep 1t
pushing. Have we such genius
among our citizenship.-Several of
our exchanges.
We started to credit this para
graph to one of our exchanges this
week, but finding it in several others
also, we were in some doubt about the
author of it. 1t is good enough to
repeat however even if it has been in
cold storage.
The boil weevil can be killed too
dead to skin at one whack. It's just
as easy as falling off log. This will
kill him: Plant no cotton for two
years. No sort of farmers organiza-
ton can bring this too pass, but con-
gress can do it. For, congress can do
anything. 1t might, and possibly
would result in an insurrection in the
cotton belt, but we are becoming &C
customed to war and little fight like
that would not amount to much. This
is the only effective remedy.-Com-
merce News.
Provided the boil weevil has not
found some substitute for cotton on
which he may exist for couple of
years, this is the only reasonable and
sure way to get rid of him.

.'LAUpS LABOR
At M. E. CHURCH
Richard Jones and R. J. Wilson
Plead for Better Understand:
Ing Of Labor and Church.

Employment Sunday was observed
in all the Duluth churches last Sab
bath. The: principal meeting was held
at the evening services of the First
M. E. church where speeches were
made by Richard Jones on Labor in
the War, and by J. r. Wilson on the
Church and Labor.
Senator Jones expounded trade
union philosophy and paid an excep-
tionally high tribute to Samuel Comp
ers. He told of the part union labor
played in the war and. held that its
loyalty had much to do with bring
ing the war to an early conclusion.
Mr.. Wilson declared that the rea-
son why labor appeared Indifferent to
the church was due to the fact that
they did not understand each other.
He held that the cure was getting
nearer to labor and read te labor dec
laration Of the Methodist church Of
Canada to show the trend of thought
in the church toward the claims Of
labor, a position in the van of the
times.
''This declaration" the speaker said
condemns special privilege as a
violation of justice; demands that Ia
Dor be given'a voice in the MANAGE
ment and a share in the profits and
risks Of business: holds it to be I'M
Christian to accept profits when la
borers do not receive a. living wage;
recommends old age insurance on a
national scale, advocates adjustment
of speculation in land, grain, food
.stuffs, and natural resources; urges
the capture of unearned wealth
through over-capitalization Of COM
mercial enterprises, abhores prof.
teering and demands the payment of
a living wage to labor; proposes the
naturalization of natural resources,
the means of communication and
transportation; declares that the COM
pany owned town is menace to
democracy and sympathetically seeks
to understand the problems Of life
as they confront the working classes,
pledging the church as an ally Of Ia
Dor in bringing about social justice
and democracy in government and
in industry" ,
Both speakers were warmly ap-
plauded at the conclusion :of their
remarks. 49,.

4.8-H0uR WEEK
Smith, Johnson State They Can
not Grant 44-hour Week
and Meet Competition.

"There are two sides to every ques-
ton, and I trust you will publish our
side Of It," said C; I'd. johnson of the
firm of Smith &Johnson. manufacture
ers of men and boys cloth hats and
caps, whose employees went on strike
two weeks ago.
I'VE are out of the hat and cap manu-
featuring district here, and We have
our own problems to meet In working
up trade in competition with firms To-
Gated more favorably. We treat our
help good, and none Of our employees
have any reason to complain as to gen.
eral conditions.
1--WE have been working the 53-hour
week. Since the legislature failed to
enact the 4S-hour week law we in
tended to adopt it in our shop after
May l. On Monday, April ~, our head
cutter shut down the factory one hour
earlier than schedule time without con-
sulting us about it. He was thereupon
discharged for violating orders.
when he was discharged all the
other employees quit, and few mo-
ments after they made demand on
us for he 44-hour week. This was the
first informa ton we had that the en-
ployes contemplated going out after
anything better than the 4S-hour week.
I want to make it clear to you that our
head cutter was not discharged because
Of his sympathy for his fellow en-
ployes, or for his connection with any
union, but he was discharged because
| he shut down the machinery one hour
before the regular quitting time with
| out receiving instructions from us.
II also desire to state that this man
received $33 a week and was to be
! raised to $35 a. week on May 1. The
| second man was paid $29 a week and
| not $40 as was enormously stated In
| The Labor World last week. No girl IN
our employ was paid less than 50 a
! week. You were in error when you
stated in your last issue that we paid
| as low as So a week to our girls. In
! deed, all the girls but one get as high
| as $12 a week. AS soon as this girl,
| who has been with us six month be-
| comes more proficient at her work she
will be paid more money.
"Our competitors are not asked to
work their employees the 44-hour week.
! We are and have been perfectly willing
to grant the 4S-hour week. but we can
| not yield to the 44-hour week and con-
tinue to do business at profit. I am
sure union laborers, to whom we have
| always been friendly, will recoBnize
that our position in this matter Is abso-
| lutely fair. We submit we are entitled
to the same treatment in return.
