What Other Editors Saw
A MONUMENT WITHOUT PRECEDENT.

In what seems to be entire seriousness the plant
ers of Coffee County, Alabama have voted to raise
a monument in honor of-the boil weevil! At any
rate says the Montgomery Advertiser, in both its
news and editorial columns, and it prints picture
of the monument.
1t is large monument to cost $4,000, and the
sculptor has made, or is going to make not large
boil weevl, but tall and wel-nurtured ladv holding
above her head something that in the reproduction
looks like the business end of garden sprinkler in

significant of wealth and prosperity
If the Montgomery Advertiser is well informed
as of course it is the farmers who purpose the honor

that the creature has ruined innumerabe acres of
what, except for him-or her-would have been high

but the result of these ravages, in COTE county at
least has been to make the farmers abandon the
crop system and go into diversified agriculture And

more money than they did even in good cotton years.
but also they much safer every year than they
were when the loss of cotton crop meant no in

Even from as far away as New York it is possible
to see that in way the boil weev has been bene-

mysterious and their logic is weak What thew con-

THE STEEL STRIKE.

Unless all signs fail, and there is a quicker col
lapse of one side or the other than now appears DOS
sib, the steel strike beginning today will be one of
the most extensive and bitter struggles between capt.
tai and labor-this nation the world-has
1t is very unfortunate indeed that the labor lead
ers have failed to comply with President Wilson's
quest that the strike be postponed at least until after
the industrial conference which has been called by him
at Washington for October 6. 1t is also extremely
unfortunate that the steel corporation speaking
fused to confer with the representatives of organized
labor Perhaps the position taken by each in this
controversy may be strictly within it's legal rights but
unless of breaking this deadlock is quick
y devised and made effective the whole country will
be rocked and shaken by the impact of these powerful
opposing forces-bilions of organized capital and mil
lions of organized men.
While the dangerous nature of the situation was
fully apparent to every thoughtful person. and while all
realized that tremendous and irreparable loss and
damage would be wrought only to the participants
American nation, nothing effective was done to
prevent the impending catastrophe.
There is of course ample authority, in state
and national governments for the prevention of all such
strikes, by the enactment and enforcement of laws
compelling both employers and employees to submit
their disputes to arbitration as must inevitably be
done eventually, but the pubic-bg and powerful in
possibilities but unorganized and impotent in fact
has been sitting idly by and making no demands in
slators taking steps whatever towards the en-
acment of laws by which alone such countrywide dis
asters can be prevented.
True President Wilson has made an earnest APP
peal for the delay of the STRIKE and it is also reported
that he endeavored to persuade Mr.. Gary to recede
from his position in refusing to confer But the fact
is that all such efforts have failed and the country is
on the verge of great disaster hence other and more
vigorous measures should be taken. Anti-strike
legislation by the states in time save the situation
is impossible; Congress alone now in session at Wash
ington, is able, under its interstate commerce author
ity; to ia apply the remedy, by the immediate enact
ment of legislation requiring compulsory arbitration
and prohibiting such strikes
What is Congress going to do about the matter?

the supreme court, which reversed the
the verdict Of the jury.
The syllabus of Judge Holt, who made
the decision, was as follows:
Syllabus The complaint stated a
cause Of action for money had and re-
ceived. The testimony admitted tend
{ ed to prove a contract for the payment
of money, and the court, after ordering
the pleadings amended to conform to
the proof, charged the jury that if they
found such contract to have been made
plaintiff should recover. There was a
verdict for plaintiff. It is held, that in
granting defendants motion for judg-
ment notwithstanding the verdict the
court erred in SO far as the order was
based upon the ground that no recovery
on contract could be had under the COM
plant.
Nor can the order be justified on the
ground that there was no evidence to
sustain a recovery under the law as Civ

BOARD OF COMMERCE
MEN GIVE SHORT
TALKs-SOLDIERS' MEMORIAL
DISCUSSED.

A quarterly membership meeting of
the Board Of Commerce was held at the
Elks' hall Monday evening, with fair
attendance. President T. G. Gordon
presided at the meeting.
Secretary Olson, in his report, men
toned that the board had taken upswith
the postal authorities, senators and con-
gresham, the matter of improving the
mail service here and, that Congress-
man Knutson had stated in a letter
that another inspector would be sent
here.
Mr.. Olson also mentioned that the
America First Concert company is TO
appear here in February. The board
has guaranteed the company $3.50 but it
is possible, Mr.. Olson stated, that the
local American Legion post will take
over this entertainment or will Join
with the board in making it success.
The Deep Waters project was men
toned by Mr.. Olson and he advised the
members that the directors had selected
Charles Craig Of Duluth to represent
the local organization at the annual
convention Of the National Rivers and
Harbors Congress, at which the matter
Of making the Great Lakes navigable
NY ocedu Solng VeSSelS, WILL De taken
up. By so doing the steamers could go
direct to such ports as Duluth and Su-
perior without breaking bulk and this
would mean big saving to the people
of the Northwest.
County Agent Campbell was called
upon for a talk. He first touched on
the subject Of deep waterways, and
stated that if vessels could 20 to the
lake ports without breaking bulk the
cost of. this project would be paid for
in three years by the saving on the
cost of wheat. Mr.. Campbell then
stated that to eliminate the farmer from
organizations would be to eliminate the
most important factor in industry. The
farmers feel that they were not given
fair representation by having only two
in the national price
probing committee but this, he stated,
was due largely to the fact that the
farmers have not yet any established
leadership. We must know the cost
if we are to say what we shall be paid
for a product. Speaking Of the Farm
Bureau, Mr.. Campbell said that it is

Red Cross Notes

The chairman Of the local Red Cross
Chapter is in receipt Of the announce
ment that the Ninth Home Service In
stitute for. the training of Red Gross
Homo Service workers will be held in
Minneapolis during the months of Jan
uary, February and March. To this in.
stitute Red Cross workers from various
Chapters throughout the Division will
be sent.
For the first time since the institutes
were started the course will be three
months long. Former Institutes ran for
six weeks, but it was found difficult for
the students to cover so much ground
in so short time.
Enrolment in each institute is limit
ed to 10, many of whom are chosen by
Chapters in connection with the propos-
ed peace time service.
It might be interesting to note that
the county nurse, Miss Janet Worden,
has been on the job for six months. Dur
ing that time she has covered 5,368'
miles since June l by automobile and
648 miles by rail.
Miss Worden has had 200 pupils in
the home-nursing class of which number
100 have completed the course. She has
examined 1880 pupils in % schools. She
has been on duty l2 nights and at IL
farmers meetings. She has given gen
eral talks on health and hygiene in each
school room in the county. She has
made personal visits to homes and bed
side care in 20 cases. Considerable Of
fee work has been done each week. It
is safe to say at this date that the med
ical profession realizes what the county
nurse is accomplishing and that they
are cooperating with her. There is
very little sickness in Morrison county
Of a serious nature.
After January l the county nurse will
put in home-nursing classes in the high
schools for the first year of high. A
vacation Of one week has been given
to her.
Any persons having underwear for
children that is in good shape, which
they do not want, can leave it at the
Red Cross rooms.
