Warming From the Farms

II EFERRING TO THE FREQUENT threats of strikes
interfering with transportation, representatives
four great organizations of farms have memoriazed
Congress to this effect mo set of has had the
moral legal right to desry property suffer

people must remain superior to that of any class

These sentiments not held by farmers alone.
Many Others including of the most intelligent lead
of labor clearly that the time when indus
trial disputes especially in occupations directly affect

brute force. If the strike in such cases is legitimate
then its authors justified in calling it at at time when
1t is bound to infct the greatest possible injury as in
war, famine epidemics
Congress has wisely refraned from hasty action in
this matter but the question is open and we shall
hear much of it. In the discussions already clearly
foreshadowed the conservative opinion of the agricultural
population cannot fail to be influential Men fixed to the
soil have vagares of their and under the leadership
of demagogues sometimes advance strange theories but
rule their devotion to law and as expressed
in the just processes of democracy is unsuitable.
Public opinion is becoming and more insistent
upon measures in mitigation of an abuse which has
come to be standing menace. The farmers speak for

with organized labor itself to determine whether curb

We predict also that he will be the most intellgenty
progressive who has filled the position coming
from what is the most wealthy and progressive farm
state Iowa, where he born raised and lived farm
err he is well qualified to know the mnutest details
OF farm life and to apply his knowledge to the admins

partments of and that his administration

The Flu Situation

YNHERE CAN BE LITTLE DOUBT that there is
great increase of sickness in this town and county
and doubt that great many of flu exist which
have not been reported.
We do not wish to be considered alarmist, but
safety first is mighty good motto and we earnestly
advise readers to all the possible in the
avoidance of the flu.
1t may be of lighter type than that prevalent last
year. but sort is bad enough due caution to
avoid its contraction.
We nave not reported in social columns great
many cases which reported to us-some of them
have asked not to be reported while the friends of others
may be surprised that make mention of their

The Lords Work and His Word

WE HEARD A GOOD STORY last week in connec
w ton with the examination of the school children
under the Ellis law
The examiner assistant said to the mother of a
child This chids tonsils should be removed" and the
mother replied mo, she born with tonsis and will
not try to correct the Lords work"
To this, the examiner replied "But if tooth aches
you would and have that taken out" and quick the
response came, "But she not born with teeth"
We understand that this finished" the examiner who
might have back with telling effect with the goth
and 30th verses of the fifth chapter of St. Matthew which
reads follows:
And If thy right eye offend thee pluck it out and
cast 1t from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one
OF thy members should perish and not that thv whole
body should be cast into hell
And If thy right hand offend thee cut it off and cast
from thee: Tor 1t is profitable for thee that one of thy
heinpe[S should perish and not that thy whole body
should be cast into hell"

Same Thing Here

TTROM THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS we clip
i the following paragraph in reference the streets
of that town.
Paved streets is the only solution of the present
toerabe condition in Jackson 1t will take paved streets
to satisfy the popular demand for better of
poration Sooner later Jackson pave it's streets
Why not now?"
The need of pavements in Marietta is just as pressing
could be in Jackson any other town. with
the exception of the square and Atlanta street. which
have already been paved which however, only make the
contrast more marked and show clearly what the
other streets need.
When the matter up last year considerable OBJ
position based upon the extending high cost of labor
and material the cost seeming prohbitve many of our
citizens but since has been made clear that high
prices are to be with for number of years. if not
to remain permanently at the present levels we can
see no reasonable reason for further delay.
Petitions being circulated and the preliminary
surveys made of those streets necessary and the
city authorities doing what they advance the
work, and should opposition develop sufficiently to
stop them, will be ready to begin this important
work.
