Threat of "oirect Action"

In the labor movement OF Europe
We have this idea I'm what Is called
"direct action" Direct action Is
nothing more or less than applying
war methods to peace conditions. 1t
is an effort On the part of great groups
of working men to compel recognition
of their demands. They seek to Sc
cure their objective by force. No al
lowance is made for the fact that
methods justifiable in war are not
right in peace. Few people will deny
that war is the supreme expression
of force.
Many men got their first taste Of
fresh air and decent food while In the
army. Very properly the allied gov
ernments gave the best Of everything
to the men In the armies. 1t isn't diff
cult to get accustomed to good food
and fresh air It is hard to go back
TO poor food and the ~tenements. Back
home, many Of the demobilized sol
diers are not eating as well or as
much as they ate during their service.
Notwithstanding the rigid discipline
of army life. men are treated as men

Is not always the case in civil life.
Then. too, while in uniform the pri-
yate was made much of. Class dis

looked upon as n of his country's
defenders. Since he has been dem0bi-
lized he has been forgotten and neg
lected. This has soured him. He re-

come back. He Is only a working man
now.
Another cause Of unrest among the
working man OF Europe grows out OF
the war. Mobilization took millions
Of men from their jobs. A great short
age of labor resulted. Employers
were forced to compete to get lei

The award adds approximately 81
per cent to the present pay schedules.
Railroad officials have declared that
any pay increase awarded the men
must be followed by corresponding
increase in rates and they plan, it is
said, to file new tariffs with the In
terstate Commerce commission as
soon as they can be prepared.
The boards decision is retroactive
to May l. AS the maximum increase
granted any class was 18 cents an
hour, or $36.72 per month"; the big
gest back pay check due when the
settlement is made Aug. 1, will be
$l1O16. The board provides that the
back pay checks shall be made out
separately so that each man will know
the amount he receives from that
source.

Former Service Men Have Until Jan.

l, 1921 to Reinstate Insurance
New conditions under which lapsed
or Cancelled war risk (term) insur.
ance may be reinstated, generous in
scope, and of vast Importance to mil
lions Of former service men through
out the country, are announced by
Director r. G.: Cholmeley-Jones Of the
Bureau of War Risk Insurance with
the approval Of D. F. Houston, secre-
tary Of the treasury.
The features Of maximum interest
to former service men provide for
reinstatement, or reinstatement and
conversion of lapsed or Cancelled war
risk (term) insurance under condi-
tions substantially as follows:
When insurance lapsed or was can
celed prior to July l, 1920, and when
application is made within 10 months
succeeding the month Of discharge
or resignation, but prior to Jan. l,
1921, the applicant must be in as
good health as at the date Of dis
charge or resignation, or at the ex-
piration of the grace period, which
ever is the later date, and so state in
his application.
The foregoing is an extremely lib
eral provision ana presents an OPP
portunity for a very large class Of
former service men to reinstate any
time up to Jan. L, 1921, without a
medical examination, by simply pay
ing two, monthly premiums on the
amount Of insurance they wish to re-
instate and making their own state

BEING POLITE.

"A boy reader Of The Dispatch News,
who thinks a little beyond one Of his
years and who had been reading an
article:on politeness, writes as follows:
tIIow is the average boy or girl going
to learn to be polite /? fear it is not
taught much in home Ior school. We
don't get much information from
books on this most important subject.
Could you not give US in your paper
some. rules or suggestions that would
be helpful?''
Our boy reader has opened UP a
big subject and given us matter for
many columns. True politness, how
ever, cannot be learned from set
rules. TO be polite is to be kind-to
have al heart. True politeness does
not consist merely. in lifting your hat
when you meet lady, or in giving
the easy chair to the older person. 1t
is our idea that politencss extends
further than the rules Of etiquette
laid down in books. If you answer the
smile of the baby across the aisle on
the street car-that's having q heart.
If you guide the blind man across the
crowded street-that's having a
heart If you stop to wipe the tears
from a hurt child's eyes, or speak
kindly to the ragged boy who waits
upon the street--that's having a
heart. You will liye-and prosper,
proba ably-if you do none; OF these
things, or similar, little kindnesses.
But you WON'T be living a free. and
natural life, life that knows real
love and real kindness; a life that
stamps you as a gentleman, polite
man or boy.
The world today Is too crowded
with the other kind of (, men-those
who ireturn the smile of a baby with
a blank stare or a scowl; those who
look the other way when they see. a
blind man in need OF assistance
those who hurry byla crying child.
Learn to give aid, learn to do the
little acts Of kindess along life's path
way and you will have Learned to be
polite, my SON. You do not, need rules
and suggestions. Be kind, be consid.
crate. for. that is to be polite.

A TIME FOR TESTING.

Any ordinary person can get along
pleasantly while fortune favors and
everything is prospering. It takes pa
to go creditably and safely-speaking
both subjectively and, effectively
through times like these.
Following upon q var of unexam-
the harder to bear; but they can be
made times of character building, If
one does his duty and goes cheerfully
about his work.
The times are not as hard as some
think; Sit is largely matter of con-
trast. The people in this part Of the
world have food and shelter and
clothing; they have schools ana
churches. and good neighbors. If one
begins to reckon up his blessings here
in 'Newberry county, and in South
Carolina, and to compare them with
the condition Of peoples in other parts
Of the world, he will find that he has
a thousand things to be thankful for.
Many men are like spoiled children;
if they do not get what they desire
they fret and fume, destroying their
own happiness and quiet of mind and
taking away the pleasures Of life from
their families and friends.
There is a good deal of unrest just
now, and some wild talk; some men
are in an ugly mood, and have worked
themselves up to. believing they ha>
been imposed ON and are being robbed
by others.
Let every man think of the bless
ings he has, and not fret over what he
cannot help. AS far as possible-and
it ought to be possible to all-one
should initiate st. Paul, who learned
in whatever state he was Herewith to
be content-not content in the sense
OF not trying to improve his condition
but content after he has done his duty
the best he can.
It behooves men and women who
love their country and their fellows
to set an example of sturdy man
hood and patient womanhood in these
days of unrest and dissatisfaction

War and people learn to live at home
we cannot hope to avoid periods OF
great depression. Old people tell us
that before the war there were com
munities of considerable size in which
such an institution as grocery store
was unknown. Today we find that
South Caroline is importing tens OF
thousands OF dollars worth of food
and feed every year, and raising cot
ton with which to pay for this food
at prices below the cost OF produc-
ton. AS long as we continue to do
this 50 lcng will be bound with the
chains Of economic slavery. Here in
Lexington county our fa.tmers are
more given &c diversified agriculture
than in most counties of the state, but
there are still many who depend en-
tirely too much on the outside world
for food for themselves and families
and feed for their stock. If the pres
ent depression in the price of cotton
should stimulate them, as it should. to
devote a larger acreage to- crops that
will furnish food an diced then 1t will
have proved blessing in disguise.

such farm should be, willing, and
glad to show people in other parts Of

DESIRABLE IMMIGRANTS.

We were quite interested to note a
few days. ago that Senator Dial was
making an effort to secure a colony
of Dutch people for settlement in
South Carolina. 1t is to be hoped
that his venture will prove successful.
From the sturdy folks OF Holland
we have derived much that is best
in our institutions. BY some writ
ers it is claimed that we really owe
more Of our best in government to
the Dutch than to the, English, and
that even ueur constitution was taken
from the organic law of the Neither
lands. HoWeyer. that may be, it is to
said that many Of the early settle.
ments of z this country were by the
Dutch and they left a deep impress
upon the land. AS. a race they are
hardy, thrifty, honest,and law-a abiding
and would be easily assimilated in
the body Of our citizenship. Senator
Dial will lfrperform a rea1'.service to
the State should he succeed in Sc
curing the settlement here of con-
siderable body Of such emfgrants. ):

better arrangements will be made for

The great question before the peo-
pie todayIis how long before the pres
ent period Of business depression will
be over. arOne guess IS almost as good
as another and The Dispatch News
hardly, cares to risk its reputation as
a prophet and set aniexact date. The
big bankers and business men OF the
country appear: to be confident that
the read djnstment period will soon end
and an area of prosperity will again
he ushered in. T It is certainly to tbe
hoped that they are right and there is
every indication to warrant such a be-

crops have added. materially to. our
wealth. AS soon as the public is.wil-
: ling to- resume buying and create an
active demand for the products OF
the farm, thereby making possible a.
price which will tempt farmers to sell
there will be increased business. It is
OF course doubtful whether we shall
ever see things as they have been for
the past few years and maybe it is
better that we should not have them
just like they have been. At pres
ent,, however, we are passing through
a readjustment period that had to
come sooner or later. Without doubt
it was hastened by the action of the
federal reserve board in Tightening
the money market. Whether gov
ernmentaf action will be necessary or
can accomplish the result of reestab-
fishing confidence. and stabilizing
business remains to. be seen. The
thing fori;everybody to doIis to quit
talking hard times, get. to work and
stay there; do the best they can, pay
as much OF their debts as IS possible
and sooner or later the sun will shine
again. :. t,,l. y, -

Whatever may happen in less ifa-

|of ours-unless impracticable vision

much? Last spring we attended a

such retail prices meant financial ruin
to the famer, he added, because farm
labor would be SO scarce and raw ma

so high as to bring bankruptcy right

dire predictions of the calamity how
