Good for Lancaster! When the

this to look far ahead and invest in

munity is going to come, that's dead
sure thing. Only six people voted
against the seventy-five thousand
dollar bond issue for imrroved school

when our forefathers settled this
country and fought savages and

SH ALL WE STAND FOR THIS?
(J. A. Bursey in "Our Dumb
Animals")

A horse was down: blood ran
from his head and formed a pool
on the ground. A man stood
over the horse with a club in his
hand. He commanded the ami
NAL in a loud voice. freely pune
tuated with oaths. to get up: but
the horse being young and in the
harness for the first time. was
ignorant Of the meaning Of these
commands. He lay there. his
eyes filled with unfathomable
anguish, his muscles twitching,
knowing not what to do. His
master. not being obeyed. piled
the club again. barbarously.
"A group of people collected
around the man, and although
some wished to interfere. none did.
The man was big brute Of fell
low. and his countenance was too
foreboding. He called for water.
His son brought it to him and II
was applied to the horses head.
After the bucket had been emp
tied, the man turned and threw
II at his son. 1t landed square
ly on the boys forehead and he fell
to the ground. unconscious.
you'd better learn to catch,
Deacon. I'm liable to throw an
axe at you some day." was the
only comment made by the father.
The man again turned his at
tention to the horse; but now the
animal had found a champion. A
heavy hand was laid on the mans
arm and voice sounded in his
ear; 1t was the voice Of the law.
This is only one OF the many
scenes Of cruelty to animals that
has arrested my attention dur
ing the years have lived In this
semi-civilized West. and It is
scenes such AZ this that this hu-
name magazine is banishing.

Nicaragua proposes that the men,

The people of Honduras learned OF
this action by Nicaragua with great

There are reports and indications
from many quarters THAI the women

aligned with the two old organiza-
tions, are planning drive" on Con-
gress in the next election. They
naturally desire q share In the ma
tional legislation, and will make
their first, at least most formidable,
assault upon the popular House. It
is closer to the people than the SEN
ate Is, and whatever Is close to the
people is very close to woman. Fore
casters are already predicting at
least 25 women Representatives. in
the House to be elected next year
Some OF them guess as high as 50.
The capture of the Senate. or even
the gaining of slender foothold In
that Club" OF political bosses. will
take more fighting and plotting. But
that, too. will be invaded in a short
time. The present younger genera
tion may see the two houses pretty

Congress at least more human and
representative OF life.
The great war. while 1t bruised
and maltreated women, at least broke
their shackles. There is hardly a
country on the globe in which the
women are not freer because OF the
tremendous cataclysm in Europe. It

rHH COTTON MILL SITUATION

THR COTTON MILL SITUATION
The Lancaster cotton mills will
resume operations Monday. The
plant really is in operation now; that
Is, certain departments necessary to
be put in motion before the mill can
be fully operated are going and it is
understood that possibly 100 men are
at work. In the re-opening of the
mill the management has announced
that there has been no recognition
OF the union, but that union men will
not be Disseminated against, all de-
string employment. whether union or
non-unien. being invited to make ap-|
plication to the proper authorities of
the departments In which they wish
20 work.
The percentage OF employees join

not been determined by. outsiders.
Ono OF the stsen hundred and nine.

two weeks 10 that 90 per cent. have
Joined; another Is that not more than
40 to SO per cent. have Joined. "A
closed meeting Of the union was held
in the courthouse Wednesday night
and the report was current on the
streets yesterday that they voted
solid not to go back to work. This
may or may not be true. as what took
place behind the closed doors Is not
definitely known.
AS The News understands the cit
nation. the mill will be re-opened
Monday and the operatives, irrespec-
tive Of aniliation with organisations.
viii be given the opportunity to go
back to work or the conditions ex-
listing st the time OF closing down
OF the mill. OF course, 1t is prob
lematical as to the number who will
apply for work and as to whether
any Of the union men will.
At any rate. the prospect OF re-
opening the mill is encouraging.
Announcement was made Wednes-
day by officials of the Chadwick
HoskinB chain of textile plants that
the four mills in Charlotte will re-
URan xs soon as sufficient number of
employees apply for work at the same
rates and ON the same conditions as
existed June I. These mills were

maintain that the company 10 com
mitted to the open-shop policy and
will not be dictated to ~ to tho Ier-
'sonnei Of its employees. "No resent
ment is felt toward striking en-
RIoyes." the Observer says the Off
cars OF the company declare.
They also say that they consider
the walkout came as the result of
bad advice. The mills. according to
Officials. are willing to overlook the
strike episode and to conduct oper-
ations on the best possible wage
scale. 1t is their belief that In the
near future spirit of confidence and
mutual cooperation will be re-estab-

: Thus the Charlotte situation re-
selves itself into much the same as
ahat existing in Lancaster.
