Hicks for $4,000 Cut
In Personnel of Navv
Urges Reduction in Program of
Building That VIII Save $780,
600. 600 to 5000 .OO0. 600


Congressman Frederick c Hicks, Of
the First New York District said last
night az the National Republican Club
that he avored reduction in the
naval program to the extent of $780,
900 900 or s3OOO0o,o0o with a COM
mensurate reduction in the personnel of
the navy from 143 600 to 10000, and
the postponing Of the building of three
or four ireadnough-s for the present.
Representative Hicks for years has
been what is known in Congress as q
"big navy" man, and has assiduously
worked for q program aimed at put
ting the United States abreast OF Great
Britain.
an view Of the country's financial
condition and in consideration of other
obs-i rs faet IS, ! sh uld ike t. see
the United States and the other nations
of the world cooperate in taking lit
tie naval holiday for two or three
years until we get our financial BREATH"
said Mr.. Hicks.
"The 1916 naval plans call for the
building of a great navy. l have been
big ..-vy n j f~r many years Under
all the circumstances I am inclined to
III nix that the present program should
be materially curtailed. The naval es-
tablishment contemplatcs a personnel
Of 143 900 men exc usivc of the ma
pine corps, ten drcadnoughts and six
battle cruisers.
"We need the cruisers to balance the
feet, and | would not favor eliminating
them, but if we could cut off three or
four o. the dreadnoughts AZ this time
we could save a great many millions
4
navy personnel down to, say, 120 900
men ne should still have enough men
TO man all the ships, and we could get

Compers Warns of Effort
To Destroy Labor's Voice
New Years Message Says Open
Shop Movement Is One of Sew
eral Dangers Facing Unions

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-Samuel
Gompers, in a New Years message to
the workers of America, published in
the current issue to-day of The Feder ra-
zionist, declares labor faces a year of
solemn portent and warns that the
widespread movement for the open
shop has for its aim the destruction of
labor's voice.
Declaring that never in the history
of the American labor movement had
putocratic greed presented such an or
ganlzed menace to democratic progress,
Mr.. Gompers sail labor found at this
moment not one danger, but several.
Besides the movement for the open
shop, these are described by the vet
eran labor leader as an effort to make
real collective bargaining impossible
through the establishment of various
kinds of governmental boards and tri-
bunals ard the heartless detormir alton
of many powerfrl employing interests
10 reduce wages and to stop the wheels
of production entirely in many cases,
resulting in great unemployment.

can athletics excel in contests, but
that athletics is more universal in
England. Where America specialized,
England gencraliZes. Every child in
English schools must inter into at
least three kinds Of sport. An English
gentleman must know tennis and
cricket as much as he must know how
to read and write. Boys are often
rcprimandcd. ne said for devoting too
much time TO Latin, and not enough
to athletics. All boys, big and little

DR.. Curtis made an earnest plea that

even more athletic work than the boys.
His speech was thoroughly enjoyed by

RICH, BUT NOT WILLING

York, Jan. 5.-There are too
many bachelors in Yorkville, accord
ing to the Rev. T. T. Walsh, pastor
of the Church of the Good Shepherd
Episcopal. Mr.. Walsh would like to
see some of them get married and
he is quite certain that a great
many of them are financially able
to marry.
"There are more bachelors here
than in any town l have ever lived
in," Rev. Mr.. Walsh said the other
evening. "Of course one naturally
expects to find a lot of old maids in
any town, but there is no excuse so
far as 1 can see for all these bache-
lors. And one thing that strikes me
as to odd is the fact that there are
so many men unmarried who could
afford to marry"

SMITH ON COMMITTEE

Washington, Jan. 6.-Senator
Smith of South Carolina is one of a
subcommittee of five named to de-
termine what course to pursue since
the president has vetoed the bill
which would have given railroads,
for definite time, permission to
continue buying supplies from COM
panies in which the railroads are in
terested.
Asked for his individual view Sem
ator Smith replied, 81 think the
principle that the railroads should
not purchase from themselves
should be retained, in that the peo-
pie, who foot the bill, might not be
mulcted. At the same time, / think
certain notifications necessary to
meet exceptional cases and to ac-
cord with the railroad statutes en-
acted last year."

CHRISTMAS COMES AGAIN

Today has been the regular
Christmas Day observed by the local
Greeks and the following Friday
will be observed as New Years Day.
The Greek church still uses the
Julian calendar which is 13 days be-
hind the calendar corrected by Pope
Gregory V. When the Greek and
Roman church divided, the Greek
church retained the Julian calendar
to keep them from changing all the
religious holidays which had become
fixed in the lives of the common
people,
Christmas Day of the Greek
church is quietly celebrated as
holiday and day Of rest. New Years
Day is the gala day of the season,
gifts being given at that time. The
Grecian Christmas observed usually
by religious worship is devoid Of
any noisy festivity.

HIGH TAXES

You have often heard of it. This
year in Abbeville county the pay
ment of high taxes ''cuts to the
bone" The payment of these and
high priced fertilizer and low cot
ton are literally robbing the tax
payers. And yet there be those in
South Carolina who are endeavoring
to add to the tax list. Governor
Cooper should put on the brakes
and do it in vigorous fashion. There
is no sham cry this year, when you
hear people complaining of "high
taxes" The tax payers are looking
forward to the legislature and the
Governor to protect them jdst as
far as possible. Let all new enter
prises requiring additional taxes
wait and apply the pruning knife
where possible.-A. R. Presbyteri-
