MANY POSTAL CHANGES
MAKE BIG IMPROVEMENT lA|.p
Less Capitalization Means More Ran.
i'd Handling and Better Service
to Public.

The remarkable improvement in tn.
postal service since Will H. Hays
has been Postmaster General can
not have failed to attract the atten-
tion of all who use the mails.
He has proved to be what is term
ed in business circles a Give wire,'
and his fertile brain is constantly
devsing new means of making the
force under his supervision more eff
fcient.
One of his latest orders is calcu-
lated to eliminate red tape, delay and
duplication in postal operations, by
establishing a policy that will result
in details being taken from the de-
partment at Washington wherever
possible and placed out in the states.
This will result in economy. as well
as in less delay.
One detail of the plan gieys more

MINERS OFFER TO ACCEPT
HEAVY WAGE REDUCTION
Proffer to Return to Washington
Award of 1917, Which Promises
Good Results.

AS an evidence that labor organ
izations all over the country are fully
aware that heavy reduction of wages
must come before business revival
Is assured, it will be noticed from
time to time that certain labor units
have proffered to accept substantial
wage cuts.
Thus far nothing of that kind has
actually taken place with the indust-
rles OF this section, but movement
Is now on foot that promises to prove
OF marked benefit to both the laborers
and the operators of the mines at
Clifty.
1t is we'll understood by those who
are informed that for several months
the mines at Clifty and Bon Air were
being operated at heavy loss. That
such a condition could not continue
is plain to any one The miners of
the sections named realized that if
they persisted in holding to their pre-
sent wage contract, which expires
March 81, the mines would be forced
to shut down entirely until a wage
scale could be agreed upon. Rather
than have that condition come to
them, the miners at Clifty have been
auth. rized by their head men to of
ter to accept what is known as the
Washington Award, which went into
effect il 1917. Should the company
meet the miners on those terms it
will mean a continuous operation o,
them ines at considerable saving to
The company. It will mean reduc-
hon OF about "a cents a ton for min
ng coal and reduction OBJ about
80 day for laborers. a
The Clifty and Bon Air companies
ire regarded as among the most fair
md reasonable of an operators in
he state and that fact is clearly ev-
dcnced by the fact thatlabor troubles
re Unknown at either place
There are about 1000 people in the !.
'icinity of Clifty that are to a very !,
arge degree dependent on the mining ..
peration for their daily bread and in
he face of threatened conditions the
riners have certainly not only done
ne sensible thing but they have act |
d fairly and with reason. Results
re sure to show the wisdom of their
curse
In this connection it is a notable
act that many railroad men all over
ne country are favorable to accept
1R a wage cut to the end that freight
ates may be lowered and thus the
reatest obstruction to general busi-
ess revival may be relieved to
reat extent

WHAT RED TAPE COST
IN ONE SINGLE INSTANCE
Nine Months Time Consumed and $500
Expense to Got Less Than
81 Work Done.

The story is going the rounds OF
shington illustrating the need of un
tangeling the red tape in the govern
mental departments and the perfection
of budget system and sensible meth
ods in handling routine business.
The story is to the effect that a
piece of furniture in the office OF a
district attorney in the middle west
needed repairs The attorney notified
the Custodian OF the local government
building in which he was housed. The
custodian in urn, notified the Treas
ury Department.
The word finally reached the super
vising architect in Washington, who
notified the custodian to advertise for
bids for the work. 1t cost the govern
ment $3o.5o for the advertis ements.
The bids were forwarded to Washing
ton, where they were thumbed and in
itialed and passed around ana finally
approved and the work ordered done.
Then an inspector got on the job
and looked it over. 1t didn't suit him
He wound up by getting in contro-
versy with the contractor. This nec-
essitated a trip for the chief inspec-
tor all the way from Washington to
settle the difference. He did. He re-
turned and O. KID the contractors

the contractor had completed the I
work he got hi. money

sons who handled correspondence.
postage and mailing, advertising etc.
it cost the government of the United
States $500 and nearly a years time
to have 1894 worth of repairing done.
The story may be exaggerated in
some details but it fairly reflects the
conditions under which the govern
ment has been operating for years.

NORTH CR0Ssv|LlE

School at this place closed Dec. 2i
for tn Christmas holidays. So closes
a most successful term of school, the
first to be taught in the new school
building. The board of managers
made a wise choice in placing Rev
and Mrs, Patty in charge of this insti-
tuition as they have already shown
they are fully competent to control
direct and teach this school. Few
people realize the stupendous task
there is in controlling and interest
ing more than half a hundred young
sters in the home life of a dormtory
seeing that all the wheels of the do
mestic atmosphere are kept oiled and
in running order; keeping the husky
youngsters interested in their manual
as well as mental labors, and spenQ.
ing hours in the school room, besides
looking to the purchasing of supplies !;
keeping accounts straight, and most
of all giving food and instruction by
daily precept and example for their
spiritual growth. The spring semester
will open Tuesday. Jan. 3, and we
feel safe in saying the building will
be taxed to its full capacity to ac-
comidate the students desiring ent-
rance in this school,
Rev. and Mrs. Patty. who spent the
Christmas vacation with relatives at
Bell Buckle, Nashville and toher
points. are expected home Saturday.
Rev. Tedford. who was student and
assistant teacher, left for Crab Orch
ard and Grassy Cove, where he will
spend the holidays. Mr.. Tedford will
not return to this school as he has
been engaged to teach the school at
Crab Orchard His students regret
20 give him up as Mr.. Tedford was
very popular as a teacher and has
won warm place in the hearts of
Ill the students.
Mrs. Mccormack, Miss Bonnie
Benson and few others of the stu
lents did not go away for the holidays.

FRIENDLY ENEMIES
MEET At BANQUET
Ccfdell Hull, Democratic Chairman.
ard John T. Adams, Republican
Chairman, Dine Together.

According to newspaper dispatches
Chairman John T. Adams fthe Re-
publican National Committee. and
Chairman Cordell Hull of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, recently
met for the first time and formed a
personal acquaintanceShip In one
respect the incident is perhaps of lit
tie Importance, and yet it is of con-
siderable significance as indicative of
the spirit in which American pollti-
cal contests are conducted
HCou. ,"ao5 and Democrats under
the leadership of Mr.. Adams on one
side ard Az. Hull on the other, are
preparing for great political con-
test in 1922 and again in 1924. These
contests will be fought out not only
nationally but in every state, in every
county and in every precinct. 1t will
be a contest of issues, however, and
not of personalities. 1t will be con-
test between personal friends who diff
fer in their views regarding the prin-
ciples and policies which are essential
for the best promotion of public well
fare.
Heretofore it has not been custom
ary for the Republican Chairman ano
the Democratic Chairman to get to-
gether at luncheon. Such social
meetings are quite common in local
politics Democrats and Republicans
meet in their clubs; they meet in
their homes; they are partners or
opponents in contests on the golf
links or at the card table, and enjoy
each others personal friendship not
their political antagon-
SINS.
Americans fight hard while they
ire engaged in political combat bur,
Is soon as the votes are counted and
he result has been determined, they
orget the heat of the battle and re-
umc the even tenor of their way in
business and social affairs. The meet
ng of Mr. Hull and Mr. Adams sym
,olizes this American spirit and for
hat reason is of more than ordinary
ignifcance.

AS WIDE AS THE POLES
DIFFERENCE IN TREATIES
League Forced u. S. to Protect Eu-
rope, Four-ply Treaty Forces
England to Protect U. 8.

Democratic senator's say that the
four-ply treaty is Articl eX of the
covenant of the league of nations IN
a new dress. 1t is about as much like
that article as Henry Cabot Lodge is
like Senator Watson, of Georgia.
Article X would have involved the
United States in trouble where it had
no stake The four-ply treaty e.
tricates the United States from trouo-
les in which it has stake.
Article X would have made the
United States responsible if Roumania
undertook to invade Jugoslavia or
Russia tried to get into Poland The
proposed treaty makes Great Brit
ain responsible if Japan tries to hop
the Philippines or Hawaii.
The covenant Mr.. Wilson signed at
Versailles made the United States in
sure a status quo in Europe after an
iniquitous peace had been given cent
raj and southern Europe to starvation
and hatreds and had tried to build
military scheme upon the economic
misfortunes of people who now live
precariously and who struggle to get
back what was taken away from them
The treaty Mr.. Lodge read to the
Washington conference makes Japan
Great Britain and France insure the
tranquility of the American possess
ions in the far Pacific. w ealso res
pect the Japanese, British and French
insular rights, and, having no designs
against any of them, we are glad to
make this contribution to the peace
of the world.
We also stand back of Great Brit
ain and France if Japan should show
aggression. The preponderance OF
power on the side of the nations which
desire peace is so great that if japan
in its expansion, were tempted the t
odds would be too great and the enter
prise would be Abandoned in the form
ing.
The difference between Article 4 +
and the proposed four-ply treaty is
lust this: In the former we were to
pledge ourselves to saw Europes
wood and use none of it. In the lat V
ter we saw our own wood with the g
help of France and England.-Chicago g
Tribune. 5
