The Railroad Strikers.

New York World: What is now
known as the OUTLAW" railroad strike
is spreading out widely. 1t began
with the yardmen in Chicago. It has
extended eastward to our own shores
and as far westward as Los Angeles
on the Pacific coast. 1t is occupy
ing such strategic railroad points as
Kansas City and Buffalo. Within the
ranks Of the brotherhoods the strike
is widening out from the yardmen,
who belong to the Brotherhood Of
Railroad Trainmen to include fire
men and engineers belonging to those
two brotherhoOds.
The damage so far done to the pub
lie and general labor interests is con-
siderable Tens of thousands of stock
yard and other workers have been
forced into idleness and loss of pay;
and fuel shortages threaten, and their
prices are rising in consequence. Sins
liar results must follow in all affect
ed places and react with costly effect
upon the strickers themselves.
But far greater than this is the
damage which the strikers are doing
to their own cause Of organized la:
Dor and its policy Of collective bar
gaining. They are in rebellion against

agements, because the latter have
wage agreements with the unions, in
herited from the era .of government
operation. The Esch-C ummins law
provides for the submission of all
wage disputes to an arbitration board
appointed by the president.
The strikers have disregarded both
the law and their union obligations
They have repudiated all sense of duty
to the public. They are making war
on the community at large in order to
force an acceptance of their illegiti-
mate claims.
The public cannot afford to compro-
mise with such bushwhackers. The
strikers challenge admits of but one
answer: Any appeal they make to
public consideration or tolerance
should be met with an emphatic
moi" They have put themselves out
of court. They are seeking to ac-
complish by willful interference with
the public interest what they have an
orderly means of accomplishing thru
union action and an appeal to the new
railroad arbitration commission. Their
interference with the operation of the
railroad system should be met with all
the force the government has at its
command.

Born That Way.

Some folks are born with spirits
sour, their nature is to whine; the
planets, at their natal hour, were bad
~ out of line. They came complain
ing to the earth, and squawk through
all their days, and they can see no
sense in mirth, they frown on joyous
days. They choose the grimmest sort
of creed that's filled with threats of
pain; for there is naught will fit their
need, that's pleasant, kind or sane.
They are the sad and gloomy freaks
who groan with every breath, who
see the bloom on maiden cheeks and
talk of worms and death In vain the
optimist may try to cheer up gents
like these; they'll answer with a dis
NAL sigh his gladdest, brightest
wheeze. They'll say his logic, blithe
and brave, is merely sounding brass:
they'll drool while about the grave,
and claim all flesh is grass. Thav

on the part of the committee, as to

it belonged, was self-evident.

SABBATH OBSERVANCE

In his address at Bethany last Sab
bath Hon. J. S. Brice gave whole
some advice to his large audience on
the subject of Sabbath observance.
He said from present indications he
would not be surprised if there was
demand soon for the delivery of
mails on the rural routes on the Sab
bath. He urged parents by precept
and example to train their children
to observe the day as it should be.
In reference to Sabbath mails, he
said that Church people are eresponsi-
Ele for them and had it in their pow
er to have them stopped if they de-
sire to have it done. Such is his own
conviction of the subject that he nev
er goes for his mail on the Sabbath
and ne is satisfied he is none the poor
cr financially, and probably better
spiritually, for not reading the Sun
lay paper. 1t was refreshing to hear
layman with large business inter-
ests bear such testimony.-A. R.

WHY THE POLE?

Standing, a lofty tribute to some
thing or other, opposite the Baptist
church in the middle of the street is
telephone pole which does not go
far towards enhancing the beauty
of the street at the formation of the
"Y" made by Greenville and North
Main streets. This particular section
of the street is being beautified by
the planting of, flowers IN, the circle
which is to contain the Confederate
cabinet marker. The pole is laden
with an intricate mass of cables and
wires. If it is to remain there during
the summer why not ask the Civic
club which has charge of the beauti-
flying of unsightly spots and objects
about the city to plant a kudzu vine
or some other species of Jacks bean
stalk at the foot of the pole. The
proper vine ought in few weeks
reach the overhead supports Of wire
and cables and form a splendid ean-
opy under whose shade the nurses
might roll the various babies Of the
city in their carriages while the heat
of the summer sun beats, down.
If this is not considered practical
let's get the pole down.

:ouatry and city too with food"

country and city too with food"
In this way the writer again states
he truth that the trouble just now is
hat production is falling off while
he number of people who are to be
led from the products of the farm is
constantly growing. And there will
oc no let up in the prices which these
oroducts bring OH the market until
nc people demand less and produce
more.
Fortunately, we think, the people
will soon learn that city life is not
everything. There will be move
ment back to the farms we believe.
1t will come when the people find
that the farmer is coming into his
own, and when people in the rural
sections begin to learn that by pay
ing the same prices that are paid in
the cities and towns they may have as
good churches, as good schools, as
many conveniences, and much more
of pleasure and enjoyment than in
the towns and cities.
There will always be- people, as
the writer suggests, who say they are
going to town Cooking for work, but
praying to God that they will never
find it, These people are not an as
set either to the country or town.
They help consume, but produce moth
ing, and thereby add to the high cost
of living.

Necessity For 1t.

The necessity for some such ma.
tional organization has been plainly
indicated by recent revelations. The
open threat of the /, w. w. and other
organizations known to be in SYM
pathy with it TO destroy the Ameri-
can government through, first, the
paralysis of industry and the newt
able revolution that would follow,
and to substitute here a soviet, or
Russian International government,
with all property rights wiped out,
with domestic life suprooted, and with
chaos and cruelty installed instead
of orderly processes and humane pc,
licies-this open threat and the am.
pie evidence of the steps taken to car
ry it into execution formed the motif
for the United Americans.
Investigations by the department
of justice and other agencies showed
plainly that alarming progress had
been made by the radical elements;
that serious inroads had been made
by them, through various methods.
into the sentiments of many citizens
who are at heart loyal to this coun
try but who have been misled by its
worst enemies into activities that
iovetail into their plan of destructive
aess.
This well directed campaign again,
It Americanism, it was found, has
brought into its net many innocent
Tictims whose names are used by the
apostles of Redism to lend measure
# credibility to their cause and to
Iisarm suspicion as to the real mo.
ives
