OUR WEATHER EYE
A Glance to Windward

What would it mean to the far
mers of Audubon county if all prop
erty rights were suddenly wiped
out and all titles to land or other
real estate suddenly extinguished?
1t seems to be time for all peo-
pie who live directly or indirectly
by agriculture to begin to consider
this problem seriously, for there
is no longer any question that
the radical labor element, which
is steadily gaining in strength
throughout the world, is definitely
committed to this program. This
powerful element holds tenaciously
to the idea that the present system
of allowing certain persons to own
and control property is the root of
all the evil conditions with which
labor has always had to contend.
1t proposes ia abolish this right,
thus reducing all men to a dead
economic level; nor can we over
look the fact that White Russia,
the most populous of all the Cau-
casian nations, is actually trying
out the experiment, while organ
lied labor in all other countries is
looking on with only half-concealed
sympathy and appreciation. This
was the meaning Of the ultimatum
delivered by the British Labor
Party recently to the British gov
ernment, demanding that England
not interfere with or oppose IN
ANY WAY the Bolshevik invasion
Of Poland, and threatening to par
alyze to the uttermost every in
dustry Of Britain if the demand
were not complied with. And it
accounts also for the many yelled
expressions of sympathy and good
will which we have been hearing
of late for the Bolsheviki from or
ganized labor in nearly every civ
ilized land, as we'll as for the many
threats Of strikes aimed not to in
jure individual firms but to embar-
rass or paralyze governments.
Labor has come into new day.
Its power has waxed great and it is
demanding new rights, such as were
undreamed Of a few years back.
The most ominous Of all is its de-
mand for the abolition of capital
ism," which is the term that it APP
plies to our present system of pri-
vate property.
The Journal submits this as fur
ther evidence supporting its recent
statement that there is NO PEACE
between farmers and organized la
Dor; for every farmer is a capital
ist, and as such stands to be, dis
possessed under that part of the
labor program which is making
greatest headway in the world at
present.

letter to Rev. Henry, just received,
Rev. Babcock expresses great con-
cern, for the health of his wife who
is confined to her bed most of the
time. 1t will be sore disappoint-
ment to all our people if these

ton they are called upon to sustain.

MANS SKELETON FOUND.

A great deal of mystery sur
rounds the finding Of human skel-
ton Monday. the 9th, in the woods
near the home of a. l.. Reed at Ra-
leigh, Raleigh county, by Mr.. Reed.
The bones were those of man,
and from their condition it seems
plain that he was murdered, but
under what circumstances and by
whom will probably never be
learned, though the identity of the
man be- established.
One theory is that he is man
by the name of Smith, who disap-
peared from boarding house al
Raleigh. 1t is said that such a
man left the house in company
with another man with the avowed
purpose of buying moonshine IL
quor, and that he never returned.

ton.

Poifcnbarger didn't tell the women
now or where she got all this in

time she gave to the subject she no
doubt considered that the President
and his wife's clothes would inter

League of Nations. Without mean

barger we must frankly say we were
disappointed. Having known her
for a long time as an editor and
prominent in other lines of activity
we had looked for an intelligent,
tho of course partisan, discussion

not at all interested in the Presi-
dents wardrobe and came from the
meeting with the impression that
the speech altogether was a good
argument against the participation
of women in politics.
