MENTAL ATTITUDE.

The mental attitude of men is
were good people spent their money
freely, as if there was no end to it,
and when times are not so good,
they freeze on to their money as if
they will never get another dollar.
Both extremes are bad, but they
represent the proneness of human
nature to get out of balance, in fact
it is quite hard to stay on a bal
ance, under the varying conditions
of life.
But the matter of hard times is
very much of our own making and
is the result of the mental attitude
Many a man can pay his bills if he
will turn loose his money that he is
saving for a day of distress which
will never come. 1t is all right to
save your money if you do not owe
it, but if you owe it and have it, and
do not pay your debts you are
working serious injury upon the
man whom you owe, and upon the
community as a whole. for business
today is SO intimately i@terwoven
that what affects one affects another,
and money due and not paid is kept
out of circulation A few dollars
| turned loose in the morning by some
one willing to pay his debts will dis
charge a number of obligations be-
fore night if kept moving, and even
tua1ly get back to the one who first
paid it out i nthe morning.
We doubt whether a man has the
right to hoard his money, if he owes
another. We are certain that the
man who pays promptly will always
be able to secure credit, and gener-
ally that man is able to pay anyway,
since credit and thrift move along
together. We have seen money a
great deal tighter and harder to get
than it is now and the people got
along. We recall in the panic of 1907
the banks were only paying a small
part of their cash to depositors, so
squally were the times.
If all will pay their debts as far
as possible we will soon forget that
money is tight, and by thinking that
times could be worse and have been
worse and making the best of the
situation, conditions Will soon i'm
prove. 1t is merely the mental atti-
tude that hinders the way to re-
turn of prosperity.

INJURED IN A WRECK

Atlanta, July 5.-Two were killed
and four injured when a Central of
Georgia accommodation train to
Jonesboro hit an automobile at Till
mans Crossing near Camp Jessup.
E. L. Harrison, SO, driver of the
automobile, and Richard Emerson,
fireman on the train were killed.
The injured were employees of the
railway and were taken to a hospital
at Fort Mcpherson.
The tender of the train hit the
automobile squarely in the middle
the impact being so terrific as to de-
rail and overturn the engine, tender
and one passenger car. Fireman
Emerson was caught beneath the en-
gine when it turned over on it's side.
The trainmen were badly bruised
when knocked about in the overturn-
ed car.

DRAINING SWAMP LANDS

For a number of years the govern
Iment has been spending thousands of
dollars irrigating the arid lands OF
the west and the southern represen-
tatives have been voting these ap-
propriations without a murmur.
Recently the representatives from
the south have conceived the idea
that turn about is fair play, and they
have started a movement to secure
money from the government to drain
the swamp lands of the south,
which are more productive than the
uplands if drained.
1t would seem that turn about is
receive it's quota of moneys from the
fair play, and that the south should
while going around.
1t is a strange anomaly, however,
and shows the immense breadth of
the country and it's diversity of soil,
climate and conditions when it is un
derstood that the farmers of the
west can't get water, and the farm
ers of the south have too much, and
are trying to get rid of it.

COMMANDER FOOTE
INJURED IN ACCIDENT

San Francisco, July 4.-The motor
gig of Commander Percy w. Foote,
of the u. S. S. Salem, burned to the

shortly before midnight last night,
severely burning the officer and two
of the five men with him. They were

it started to burn and they were
picked up later by a boat from the U.

cessation of hostilities. He was COM
mander of the President Lincoln,

ly assigned to duty on the Pacific
coast and prior to leaving for his new
duties he visited relatives in the
State and Mr.. Daniels at Raleigh.

sort of hesitation in saying thta the
unions must learn their response

severity they make necessary. The
supremacy OF law is more than coal,

Yshd their Institutions more strenu-

defensible policies by false pleas OF
humanity, and assertion of the rule

NATIONAL IDEALS
AND DANGERS

Extracts from the sermon preach
ed by the Rev. F.. S. Love using as
subject: National Ideals and
Dangers"
1t is no accident that the presi-
dent of this republic take the oath of
Office with an open bible before them
, for its ideals arise from this source
and we shall abide as nation so
! long as we are true to these.
The church and the school were
| jointly instituted in the very dawn
of American history and our future
is inseparately bound up in these.
Therefore the machine politician who
undertakes to make a political foot
ball of our public school system is a
traitor to the republic.
The Righteousness that eXalteth a
nation is more far reaching than 1b-
servance of international >ethirs, it
relates the whole spirit of national
life to the will and plan of Gnd.
There is something vitally incon-
sistent in the idealism of Woodrow
Wilson an election laws made to de-
feat the will of the peonle and to per-
petuate a political RUG.
Fourth of July oratory is meaning
less when we make of none effect that
which the colors of our flag typifies
Valor is an empty sacrifice made to
an unanswering God, if purity and
justice, the harbingers of national
greatness, have their garments stain
ed with social unrighteousness and
are faced from God.
If America fails the world in this
hour she will be untrue to every ira
dition of her history and will deserve
to be numbered with Egypt, Babylon
and Rome.
Every thoughtful American is ask
erica conserved enough of the past
ideals and intents of our greatness
for the needs of this hour in world
history?"
The nation that flagrantly violates
the fundamental law of God as it is
expressed relative to the Sabbath,
cannot long endure.
The most dazzling hours in nation
al history have not been necessarily
hours of great achievement The
Age of Augustus was the Golden Age
of Rome but there is no voice of a
Regulus in her streets, Offering him
self in sacrifice for national great
ness. The voice of Cicero so recently
siIenced, did not ring with unselfish
tone. Even the Age of Pericles in
Greece was an age of decadence, not
of growth.
America s future greatness depends
far more upon justice in her courts,
equity in the dealings of man with
man, honoring her laws, and exalting
her schools and churches, than in any
position she may take relative to the
League of Nations, or action in the
Supreme Council
1t is no mere chance that America
is the worlds greatest nation in
wealth, in scientific achievement, in
philanthropy and in political daring,
but these are the results of her ideals,
heired from the ages and God Loyalty
adhered to.

cuTOUT THE NOISE.

number of church goers nave
EXPRESSED the opinion to the Editor
Of the Times, and they are quiUe
right. that drivers of autos, IL tney
do NOT attend church themselves
sbould he sufficiently considerate OF
others to drive their cars In the
neiphborhood of churches with as
little noise as possible, in oroer not
RI disturb Sunday worship.
The time is very short from IL
o'clock Sunday morning until one,
and from eight o'clock in the even
ing until $50 But instead of drlv-
ing by as quietly as possible tney
leave their cut-outs open and monk
their horns to such an extent that
the ministers are frequently COM
ne1Ied to pause in the midst OF the
service until the thoughtless driver
of the car is out of hearing.
The truth of the matter is that the
occupants of the car should attend
divine service, if possible, and gen.
orally it is possible, if they must
drive their cars during the hour of
service they should clost their cut
outs and not honk their horns while
near the churches Of the city.
BY the way, we arg under the i'm
preston there is law against the
use Of cut-outs on the streets Of the
city, and this law should be enforced.

to do can phone Captain Bats, and
have these lunches at the armory be-

LABOR AND Law.
SNew York Times.l

A Kansas jury has given the an
swer to Howat's defiance of courts
and law. He had been found guilty
of willful and avowed contempt Of
court before, but next Friday he will
be sentenced for defiance of the peo-
pie of Kansas, whose representatives
enacted the law and created the
tribunal with both of which Howat
'contended that he and the union
which he represents would have
nothing to do. He avowed this doc
trine through his lawyer in open
court ,and the court promptly stop
ped argument along such lines.
~ There may be differences of opin-
ion as to how good or bad the Kan
sas Industrial Court law is, but
there can be none that, since it is
law, no man and no union can be
allowed to defy it. or to claim merit
or sympathy by enduring martyr
dom in such defiance. The law is not
designed to "enslave labor's nor to
place miners Eat the complete mercy
of employers" as Howat alleges
There is no disposition to "chain
workers to their jobs like slaves .
The Imprisonment of those who defy
the law is a necessity caused by
stubbornness in the position that
'fnjunctions and courts shall mot
be permitted to interfere with .sour
policy in any way" The State has
a right to it's policy paramount
to that of the United Mine Workers
Union, and the people of Kansas
have as much right to coal in
. Winter as the miners have right to
strike. Some labor leaders know
what humanity is, but they are. not
the labor leaders who put humanity
toward unionists ahead of humanity
toward everybody else.
The Kansas Industrial Court has
a record of giving the benefit of the
doubt to many of labors contentious.
1t almost has seemed to favor labor,
and certainly has forced consumers
1920 100000 tons more of coal
were produced by 1O,59O miners
than were produced in 1919 by H.
900 miners. The secret of more coal
by fewer men is fewer strikes. The
official record does not compare
wage rates, but as several decisions
favored miners there is a presump-
ton that the fewer miners were
paid more money. Where would be
the humanity or the common sense
in permitting the negligible fraction
or un1onists to make more work for
more men at the cost of reducing
the output of coal and raising the
price throughout the State?
On the question of whether the
unions should be under the law
or above the law there can be no

SHIP BOARD AGENTS SEIZE
SIX FORMER GERMAN LINERS
Company to Which Vessels Were
Leased in Debt to u. s. in the
Sum CT $40, 600.

New lOrk.-Five Of the largest and
finest steamships in the United States
merchant marine, which had been
chartered to the United States Mail
Steamship company, were seized by
representatives. of the United States
shipping board because of an alleged
violation of contract. The seized YES
sells, all former German liners, are the
George Washington, America, Sus-
QuChanna, President Grant and Aga
memnon. The shipping board repre-
sentatives were accompanied by Unit.
ed States Attorney William Hayward
and United States Marshal Thomas
McCarty. A representative Of the
shipping board and a deputy United
States marshal were left on each ship.
Failure of the steamship company
to pay rentals which in the aggregate
up to the time Of the seizure would
amount TO about $500, 600 was given as
the principal reason for the boards ac-
counsel. Four other vessels also UNI
der charter TO the United States Mail
steamship company, which are now on
the high seas, will be taken over by
the shipping board as soon as they re-
turn to American ports, Mr.. Schlesing-
er added. Seizure OF the steamships,
Mr.. SChlesinger explained, was def
nitely decided upon at a meeting Of
officials Of the United States shipping
board in Washington. Other laXitieS
in carrying out the contract under
which the ships were chartered be-
sides rentals being overdue were al
legged. The ships seized vary from 20
900 TO $4,000 tons. They were taken
over by the United States government
during the war.
The George Washington, one OF the
finest Of the five, carried President
Wilson to Europe for the peace con
ference. Mr.. Schlesinger said that
the vessel is scheduled to sail for
Europe from this port on July 80, with
a large passenger list.
In order that persons who already
had booked passage may not be incon-
~venienced, Mr.. ~Schlesinger said that
il mo other company or no one else"
could be found to operate the vessel
she would be run by the shipping
board.
Before completing the formalities of
seizure. Mr.. Schlesinger visited the
offices of the steamship company at
100 Broadway, he declared, and there
informed Charles Mayer, chairman OF
the company's board of directors, Of
the action about to be taken and the
reasons therefore.
The seized ships are valued at ap-
proximately s25, 000, 900.

THE NEWPORT SCANDAL
PROBE Is DENOUNCED
Report Filed by Republican and Demo-
cratic Members Agree in Scor-
ing Methods Employed.

Washington. ID. C.-Republican ma
iority and democratic minority mem.
bers of the senate naval subcommittee
which investigated the wal time scan
dial among enlisted men at the New
port, X. l.. training station, in reports
made public agree in condemning in
severe terms the methods used by the
navy in detecting those at the station
guilty OF immoral practice.
The only outstanding point of differ
ence in the two reports consists in the
responsibility OF former Secretary
Daniels and Former Assistant Secre
tary Roosevelt for the use Of naval en-
listed men as participants IN the I'M
moral practices to obtain evidence
against offenders.
The majority reports hold that the
methods used were with the knowl-
edge Of both officials, and declares
Mr.. Roosevelt to be morally RESPONSE
bic" for instructions issued.
The minority views submitted by
Senator King, of Utah, contends the
matter was conducted without he
knowledge Of either OF the navy de-
partment chiefs.
With respect TO the methods en-
ployed, the minority report lie
THAT the methods employed in Sc
curing evidence by some OF the en-
listed personnel were abhorrent ana
call for the seyCrest condemnation no
one a deny. The condemnation OIL
the majority committee of these meth
DDS meets my approval"
The record Of the subcommittee
investigation is said by the minority
to show that the naval officers who
prepared the plans for the III cam
paign conducted by Lieut.. Erasmus
n. Hudson, OF the medical corps,
had no idea that seamen were to en-
plov improper methods in securing
evidence of moral delinquencies or
other crimes"
Capt. Leigh Can advisor OF MI
ROOSEVELT and the Judge advocate
general approved the organization and
prepared the necessary orders FOR It's
creation the minority report asserts,
Il believe the officers referred TO
erred in adopting and approving their
recommendation"
The minority report ~disagrees EN-
phatically with contentious OF the ma
jority that Mr.. Roosevelt was present
at conferences at which methods to
be used were discussed. The minority
agrees in substance with the findings
of the naval court Of inquiry which FL
ve~stigated the scandal.
Mr.. Roosevelt gave out a letter ad
dressed to Chairman Page, Of the SEN
ate naval committee, repeating his
charges Of bad faith and deliberate
unfairness" against Chairman Ball, OF
the subcommittee, and asking an open
hearing by the full committee.
