fact, a ruler in ancient Ethiopia and

And so the puzzling sentence al
ready referred to in the Song Of
Solomon becomes clear
Under the new interpretation Solo
mon in his Song paid tribute to the
dusky queen who brought him the
apices and gold. The whole SONG. OF
course, is not dedicated to her, nor
do other parts OF 1t describe her.
Modern Biblical analysis has decided
that It is, indeed, compendium Of .
love songs in which the charms OF
many beautiful women are extolled.
But In that one verse the wisest
of rulers decided to pay tribute to
this one romantic. visitor and made
no pretense of Disgusting her color.
It may even be that he--or whoever

Organized FalsehOOd
LabOr's Greatest Foe

Sydney, New South Wales, Aus
tralia, July 9.-In urging 100 per
cent support by labor of it's press
and other publicity, the Australian
Worker says:
eve have reached stage in our
existence which renders it impera-
tive that we should be able to cope
with the lies by which we are as
sailed on all sides, and efficiently
refute the ISLANDERS of our unscrup-
ulous enemies.
Capitalism has organized false
hood to a point of amazing effec-
tiveness. 1t has created an Ananias
press that insinuates itself into the
homes of the working class and by
an ironic perversion of ingenuity
actually in many instances fills
them with hostility to their own
interests and with an angry dis
trust of those who are fighting
against tremendous odds that they
the workers, may enjoy the fruits
of victory.
"The rulers of men have always
understood the value of falsehood
They have paid it great attention
in every period of history, have en-.
couraged organizations for it's dis
semination, subsidized them lavishly
and granted them great privileges
"But never before have the rulers
of men had liar like the capitalist
press.
Undoubtedly the daily papers OF
capitalism have been the greatest
obstacles in the path of labor. They
have kept the people politically ig-
norant. They have saturated then
with falsehood. They have intensi.
fled their bigotries and dulled theii
brains with the ethics of slavery.
"Where labor's gospel is spoken
the people hear it gladly. Where
labor's truths are uttered, they are
acclaimed by the multitude. AL
that is needed is the machinery Of
publicity. Provide it and finance il
in adequate measure and its triumph
is assured"

EXOnerates Labor

Buffalo, N. Y, July g. Rigid
cross-examination of Henry W,
Rust, secretary of the Master House
Painters Association, at the Lock
wood building probe, forced the
acknowledgment that labor has not
secured wage increases in proper
tion to the cost of living and that
everything else has increased far
beyond the average cost of labor. 1t
was shown that the increase in labor
cost was very negligible thing
compared with the increased cost
added by the contractor, as. result
of which building operations in this
city have been checked.
Rust stated that when his asso-
citation raised wages of non-unior
employees go per cent prices to the
public were increased from 120 to
SOC per cent. Later he admitted that
prices had been raised as high as
500 per cent during the past three

years and that more than 25 per
cent was charged over the rate paid
labor. In 1917 the charge for burn
ing off paint was 70 cents an hour;
in 1920 this charge was $1.40-l00
per cent increase, and so per cent
more than paid to the men who do
the work.
One of the ludicrous incidents Of
the probe is the attitude of the anti
union Commercial, which said in
leading editorial: "Mr. Untermyer,
the Buffalo Commercial suspects
that you have political ambitions"
The Commercial was never known
to say a harsh word against big
business. Its manager, McCone, re-

THE EQUINOX

eve are due to have a change in
the weather before many days" said
one of our oldest citizens yesterday,
"for tomorrow the sun crosses the
equator and that change usually
brings about different climatic con
ditions."
Sometimes there are storms when
the sun crosses the equator, especial
ly on the sea, and mariners are al
ways cautious about beginning a
voyage at that time.
There are two equinoxes during the
year, the first (vernaD which falls
on March 21st, and the second Tau
tumnaD which occurs September %,
according to the Gregorian calendar.

FUNDS FOR THE
CELEBRATION
Finance Committee For Home.
Coming To Make Final Can
vas For Money Soon.

Mr.. r. +. Johnston, chairman OF
the Centennial and Home Coming
I Celebration, informs the Dispatch
that within the next few days the
Finance Committee Of the Centennial
will make the final canvass for funds
to defray the expenses Of the cele-
bration. The goal set by the commit
tee is five thousand dollars, and Il is
hoped 10 complete the fund without
delay.
As soon as the entire amount has
been subscribed list Of the contribu-
tors, with the sum given by each,
will be published in the Columbus
papers.
Considering the magnitude Of the
undertaking, and the importance Of
the event, it seems that five thous.
and dollars is a very modest sum to
ask for from city the size Of Co
lumbus, with It's widespread and di-
versified interests.
Mr. Johnston is ambitious to put
on celebration that will reflect
credit upon the city Of Columbus and
the county of Lowndes. He wants
to show our hundreds Of visitors the
time of their lives and make them
talk about Columbus for years to
come.
In view of the fact that not one
of us will be similarly called upon
for one hundred years, spirit of
libcrality, even self-sacrfice, may
we'll be shown at this time. Don't
give until it hurts, but give until you
can see the Centennial fund swell

U. CIV. REUNION
AT CHATTANOOGA
Plans Well Under Way For Re-
ceptiOn and Entertainment Of
Grey Clad Heroes.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Sept 20.--Not.
withstanding the fact that the Con-
federate Veterans are invited to come
to Chattanooga this year for their re-
union at the eleventh hour when a
great many experienced men said the
time was so short that the necessity
re, ,arati0ns ;au'd not be made 70 re-
ceiye and entertain the convention,
the work of organization has pro-
crossed so favorably that there is no
doubt whatever that the committees
will be ready for their guests Octo-
/ Der "a, the first day of the reunion.
/ The original dates of the reunion were
October rs, 26 and 27, but in order to
give the Sons of Confederates a
chance to hold their reunion a day in
advance of the reunion of the Con-
federate veterans the dates have been
made October "a, 25, 26 and n.
With reference to the reunion the
following notice has been sent out by
A. B. Booth, adjutant general;
General headquarters will be at
the Patton hotel during the Chatta-
nooga reunion.
The convention meeting will be held
in the Billy Sunday tabernacle, the
largest building in Chattanooga.
Your attention is called to the reso-
luton passed at Houston, Texas, linn
ting official ladies to all general re-
unions, for departments, divisions, bril-
gades and camps, as follows: One
sponsor; three maids of honor, one
chaperone and one matron of honor.
This rule is expected to be strictly
adhered to. Appointments are res
tricted to descendants Of loyal Con-
federates.
Official ladies of divisions, brigades
and camps will pay their own expen-
ses as heretofore.
Camp officers should understand
that official ladies Of camps are APP
pointed for state, district and local
reunions, and have no functions at
national reunions, and therefore must
not expect any badges furnished, and
will only wear their camp badges
which they bring with them to the
The general committee at Chatta-
nooga asks that we fraternally ex-
plain to our comrades, that the time
is so short that it is impossible to
raise sufficient funds to entertain all
Veterans who come to the reunion
free, and therefore they request that
all Veterans who are able to pay for
their room and board will do so, so
that those who are unable to pay may
be taken care of, which will probably
have to be done in private families,
as the time is too short to make other
feeding arrangements, even if the
funds were sufficient. They trust
hat all Veterans will understand their
situation.
Rates for room and board will be
lept reasonable.
Departments, divisions and brigades
will please appoint their official lad
es at once, and advise the reunion
committee at Chattanooga, Tenn, of
;aid appointments.
