INTEREST IN EUROPE

Ambassador Harvey, who has pro
claimed American foreign policy on
different occasions, and who appar-
emily has changed his views consider
-.shly -in~the, last few months, has been
summoned TOW Washington by Secrc;
tary Hughes for a conference on Eu-
ropean affairs, with the German repar-
ations and economic questions under
stood to be the chief matters Of inter-
, est. Suggestion that the United States
might participate in loan to Ger
many, it should be noted in this con-
nection, caused better tone in the
cotton market.
Cut off from Europe and Asia by
two large oceans, as the United States
is, it can no longer regard itself iso-
lated. 1t is a great part of the world;
it can play tremendous role in help
ing the world to get back on it's feet
or it can let it become further en-
meshed in difficulties from which ex-
trication would be more difficult with
every passing month.
The Record and the majority of its
readers cannot pretend to know much
about the animosities that have con-
trolled French and German foreign
policy for a thousand years, but we
do know that if the other nations
can do something to bring these coun-
tries together, with little charity on
each side, that we would lose nothing.
France has been invaded by the Ger
mans more than a score of times in
the last 200 years, we believe, and a
country that has had to pay each time
cannot exercise a detached view Of
a situation that does not look prom
ising now.
Americans, however, should desire
to see the German republic prosper.
Americans should want to see France
get along well. We should want Ger
many to pay for the malicious damage
done during the war.
Above all, we should not care to
sec Germany disappear" to quote
Clemenceau Of France. Germany and
France both are likely to disappear"
if the United States does not do some
thing. Ambassador Harvey may have
something convincing to tell Secre-
tary Hughes and President Harding.

LOCALS WIN BOTH
BASKET GAMES HERE

An interested crowd of spectators
Witnessed last night on the local
court what proved to be two of the
most interesting games of basketball
seen here in many years.
The crowd noticed the great ln,-
provement in the girls team over
the brand of ball played last year.
Last years girls team seemed to play
in hard luck. But this years team
has a brilliant start. Having won three
out of four games. Losing to the fast
Lenoir College team. The girls team
is indebted to the coaching OF Huft-
man and Lyerly.
The girls game kept the crowd
in suspense from start to finish. But
there was not time during the cor-
test that the supporters of the Hlck-
ory team was in doubt as to the final
outcome of the game. And when th>
final whistle blew the tally was 8 to
10 in the locals favor.
The boys also upheld the banner OF
II. II. S. and thereby winning back
some of their lost prestige. The team
showed some snappy playing through
cut the game. The Rutherford college
visitors went home less conti
dent bunch than when they arrived.
Much credit is due to Newton fol
the outcome of the game in favor
of II. II. s. The whole team exhibited
a snappy and flashy brand of basket
ba1t from start to finish. The scor
of the boys game being to 8 in favor
of Hickory high. "a

COMMUNICATIONS

Dear Mr.. Editor:
We believe the public should fully
understand that all news matter
appearing in the daily papers just
at present concerning the coal sit
uation refers TO ordinary mine run
soft coal. We read in the paper
that such and such a number of tons
of coal were mined during the past
week; this production refers only
to ordinary mine run coal-soft coal
produced by non-union mines. The
price set by Hoover of $3.50 per net
ton at the mines refers only to
mine run coal being produced in the
soft coal field by the non-union
mines, as all union mines have
ceased operation. What appears in
the papers has nothing to do with
prepared sizes of bituminous coal;
and neither has the news matter
The subject Of anthracite coal
for the reason that since April list
there hasn't been shovel full of
tnhracite coal mined in the whole
state OF Pennsylvania, where 95
per cent of all hard coal originates.
The subject of anthacite coal
hasn't been considered BY the Gov
eminent as yet. The only kind of
coal that we read about in the pa
pers is bituminous run of mine soft
coal, AMI of course the public isn't
really very much interested in mine
run soft coal, for practically only 5
consumers out of a hundred use
mina RIM soft coal

And whereas, it was signed on the

BaccaIaureate Postponed
Lights and Power Cut on at christ
Church BY Storm Last
Night

Owing to the fact that Lights and
mower were cut off at Christ
Church last night during the storm,
the baccalaureate seromn to have
been preached before the gradua'
ting class of the Alexandra hlgn
School was postponed until next
Sunday morning. -,
The class was gathering at the
church as the storm broke. Soon
all power was cut from the church
and the only Illumination possible
was the lighting of the few gas
candles around the alter. At first
it was thought that the electric
wires would again be up in short
time. The Rev. Dr. Morton, while
waiting to hear definitely whether
the lights would be turned on again,
told to the members of the class and
as many as had gained the shelter
of the church before the storm, the
interesting history of the church
from the beginning until the pres
cnt date.
At last advice was brought that
the lights would probably be out for
several hours The rector then
thanked the class for the honor
done him in requesting that he de-
liver the sermon and said that he
would be glad to postpone it until
some future date. On vote Of
the class the sermon will be given
next Sunday morning at the regu-
lar II o'clock services.
The choir had prepared a special
musical program for the occasion
which could not be given because
the magnificent organ of the church
is operated by electricity. The
musical selections will also be re-
served for next Sunday.
Graduation exercises will be held
in the High School building Friday
evening, June Is, at o'clock. This
will be the first time in the history
of the high school that the sermon
will follow graduation. The class
consists of 81 members, one of the
largest ever sent out from the
high school here.

THE W0MAN CITIZEN
The u. s. Child Labor Situation.

The Child LABOR Law-such as it
was-was annulled by The United
States supreme Court recently. lt
was a poor law, but it was all we
had. IL seems that Congress has no
constitutional right to regulate
ages, and hours OF labor OF enid
ren, and, in the attempt to effect
this, laid tax of ten per cent upon
the annual net profits Of instltu-
tons employing children.
Leaders in the work to protect
children in industry are much con.
cerned for their cause now. One re-
suit OF this action will be to quicken
the states TO pass sufficient child la
Dor laws and the tendency will be
to Standard these laws among the
states.
Miss ALoott, Chief of the Child
ren's Bureau, feels that it will be
necessary that an amendment be
made to the constitution to enable
Congress to pass Federal law to
protect children. 1t has been proven
that employers Of children, who cas-
lily evaded state laws, complied with

GOOD CITIZENSHIP

OF the various candidates offer
ing at the polls tomorrow, we
doubt not that all arc sincerely
patriotic in rendering their ser
vices to the public. At any rate,
it is only right to assume that such
is the case. The Office OF city
councilman is not a lucrative one.
No citizen could afford to under
take it unless he had other means
of living, and of permanent ma
turc. SO there remain apparently
but two detectives that would lead
any ordinary person to become a
candidate for the city council. One
of these. as stated, is genuine
wish to serve ones city; the other
would be the achievement OF that
honor which is invariably 4 CON
conitant Of public Office, because
of the confidence and esteem OF
ones fellownlen implied in the
vote and expressed by the ballot.
1t is indeed a compliment to be
asked by ones fcllow-citizenS to
administer their public affairs and
to assume a leadership among
them. When this is a matter OF
frequent occurrence, it may be TAX
en- for granted that the recipient
OF the peoples confidence is wor-
thy of it, The great masses OF the
people, composed OF units often
radically different, and invariably
of diverse vocation, temperament,
outlook on life, and personal AIMS
and objects, are nearly always cor
rect in a common opinion. In
other words, a general average OF
public sentiment, when it can be
intelligcrtly aSccrtaincd, would be
about as near the right thing as
could be arrived at in human al
fairs.
There are certain individuals in
every community, 50 fortunately
constituted as to possess the quail
ties OF good citizenship to 50
marked a degree, that they are
singled out from the multitude by
the public on every occasion, to
represent it, to lead it. to advise
it. to assume its mulipleN in
diyiduality. as it we're, and speak
and act Tor it. Its a sort OF pow
err OF attorney, conferred on the
individual, to represent his fellow
citizens with plenary capacity.
We have here in Alexandria
several men in whom their fellow
citizens repose such confidence
and for whom they haye-wt
might say, such an affection, that
they are almost invariably chosen
to fill some office OF public dis
tinction. or assume some position
of trust in the community. Il
might appear an invidiouS Selec-
ton to name any one OF them Blu
we feel sure that there would no

harder to evade.
