OUR WAY

HE American way Of dong things and getting
immediate results has been exenpllIed once
again in a most emphatic way by the recently APP
pointed Unemployment Conference which approached
lis problem in such a fashion that substantial results
were being gained while other details, more or less
tedious 10 adjust were beng reviewed and worked out
The FIRST move upon the part of the men who took
ovcr Inc handling Of the unemployment problem was
TO seek cooperation everywhere that would tend
toward giving some measure OF immediate relief. IL
went after employers Of labor and after those who had
The awarding Of large public works and insisted upon
the cooperation Of the governors OF the states IN or
saniziing a series Of Unemployment committees mat
stretched oul until they embraced every smallest center
where men were out OF work.
There was established everywhere as rapidly as
possible a united public spirited effect on the part Of
the people to get more jobs for idle men. and this Ct
fort: which was willingly made, and which was
whipped into almost immediate being, moi only got,
immediate results, but made discouraged, distracted
men who needed work feel there was a PERSONAL inter
est IN their dilemma, and an earnest desire to relieve
and assist them.
Then while all these innumerable wheels began to
tum~and inspire fresh courage and TO give all reiiet
possible, the Unemployment Conference proceeded IN
10 the usual committee grind and listened to the reports
Of subcommittee which were busy supplying miorma-
ton necessary 10 the conference for more cf1cient adj
ministration Of their duties.
While the whole outlook is not al all as We would
have ii, ffndustrialIy speaking, in this country, yet here
IN Faimont there is a p~erceptible Frightening and a
discemable improvement according 10 the local en-
pIoyment bureaus which have been opened. he
Chamber of Commerce has been doing all it could to
give help TO the unemployed in their seeking for work.
Men out of employment arc registered at the Cham
Der Of Commerce in a comprehensive card index
which the secretary has Installed, which sells forth the
kind Of employment desired, where the man was las,
employed and other needfu! information. Employers
and business men generally arc cooperating with the
Chamber Of Commerce and are calling up at this
Office to ask for men whenever needed. When such q
call comes it needs only a glance at the card index 70
see if any are listed who can qualify. One momms
last week there were ten calls for men, and calls are
coming in every day. although not 50 many at one time
usually. Numbers Of men have been placed through
the efforts Of this bureau. The Y. Nj c. A. is also
making a fine effort TO locate work for men who are
seeking it, having their own appointed committee TO
look after this business alone. As soon as the Wv
&C. A, gets established ip its new quarters there will be

OUT OF THE EAST

HE presence Of Mime Kali YAKIMA in Washing
4 ton to present a petition for peace from the wo-
men Of Japan has excited much interest and comment
since her arrival.
If. any Englishwoman. OF a French woman or even
a German woman had presented such a petition at
the present time ii would have received but bret at
tention, but there is amazement over this action OF a
woman from the far east. Interested as the women
Of the white races are in the outcome of the Washing.
on Conference on Limitation of Armament, 1t IS indeed
surprising that they have not staged some Impressive
demonstration in Washington that would have drawn
attention to their attitude on the question and
their intense concern over the outcome.
1t is strange that it remained for the Japanese, OF all
races. to lake the lead in such a course. his woman
IS cighty-nine years Of age, The petition she bears IS
ono hundred yards long and on it are written the
names Of ten thousand japanese women who arc
awaiting the answer of the conference. Her arrival
with such an impressive backing, will open the door
Of the conference portal TO her, and her presence there
to present her petition is bound 10 ecelve a courteous
reception. Mime. Yajima has brought 10 us an entirely
new view Of the women Of her country. That these
woman who has spent her life in the interests OF the
peace among the nations. and that they are concerned
enough 10 combine forces 10 insist upon 1t. and are
advanced enough in thought and education 10 gather
their courage and send one Of their number to Wash
ngton 10 express their demands is proof that the wo-
men Of Japan are alive to present day world affairs
and not 10 be discounted in the activities Of intelligent
womunhood everywhere.
There Is a sublime heroism about this tiny old. old
woman who has spent her life in the inIerestsc of the
womaniood Of her nation, coming out Of the flowery
&ingdom, where women are subducd and ruled &C.
cordpg 10 The eastern habit Of dealing with women,
riiskinSg lie displeasure Of the inRuenua' men Of her
nationality, riskinz the Ostracism of her native sisters
who disapprove Of advancement Of women. and adven,
turing afar into that America whose attitude toward
her nation has been one Of uncertainty. 1t is the
courage Of the martyrs Of old who risked their all for
their ideals. Let the way be smoothed for these aged
fet and let her Heart be warm with our admiration and
our respect. Like The woman of old she hath donO
what she could mol counting the cost.

After more than twenty years, Lancaster, Pa.
has shifted her political base and listed herself for
a Democratic victory. Many readers were surprised
at the intelligence, but those who were watching the
issue were not astonished. 1t is the old story OF
one party too long in power In municipal affairs, OF
a local rebuKe to those who had grown careless
through a conviction that the kinE could do no
wrong. 1t won't work for either side. Lancaster
is fundamentally Republican and will return to !
Republican administration as soon as this little les
son has sufficiently soaked in.
