MAKING A DlSAGREEABlE I'M
PRESTON

7. appears that the Augusta SYM
phony Orchestra wished to take part
in the exercises for observance OF the
Grant anniversary, but were not per-
mitted to do 30 because some Oh tne
musicians, being members OF the
union. were not allowed to partlcl-
pate; that the union members were
originally permitted to join with non
union in organizing the orchestra on
the understanding it was to give only
free public rehearsals.
The impression received from this
is very disagreeable one, and unless
there are mitigating circumstances
connected with the incident of which
we have not learned, it is extremely
likely that the committee of the union
responsible for the decision will
eventually regret it.
The Journal is informed that no
member of the unions executive COM
f0ltleP is a THciHb'T u the llpiioiis
Orchestra, that all union members in
that orchestra were willing to take
part; that in event Of the orchestra
not playing there was no likelihood of
the services of a paid orchestra being
employed. In view of this the motive
prompting the committees decision is
not clear and the impression Is wide
spread that 1t is not such a motive
as could be made clear to the advan-
tage Of the committee.
Unionsm has itself to blame, its
own arbitrary methods to hold re-
sponsble, for some Of the disfavor 1t
encounters. Instead Of denouncing
those who do not belong to the
union it might better take stock
Of it's own short comings if 1t really
wishes to secure public approval.
Sometimes it seems that it doesn't
care whether the public approves or
not. Surely it cannot hope to be an
influence for good either to itself or
to the community in which it exists
without at least meritng such ap-
proval.

FILM PRODUCERS AND PUB
LISTERS

Addressing group of publishers
at a dinner given him in New York
this week Mr.. Hays, who was hired
away" from the Government by the
motion picture magnates, made use
of very apt comparison between the
industry he represents and that rep
resented by his hearers.
He told the publishers that the
press had developed a code of ethics,
a sense OF what can be done and what
must not be done and the motion
picture industry Is endeavoring to
do likewise, but while the publishers
have been many years pcrfecting
their code the motion picture indus
try has history Of only about
twenty years.
1t ought to require no experiments
on the part OF those who are looking
to the future Of the silent drama
they may take at least so much from
the experience of the publishers-to
determine once for all that an enter
prise which is not founded on decen-
cy need not expect public support
over any considerable period. We
have no question that Mr.. Hays is
convinced and the fact that he was
employed under the conditions he
was is fairly good assurance that
the producers are aware Of this fact
and wish the public to so understand
the situation. There will, with them
as with all enterprises, be found
those who may wish to make a short
cut to money through the medium of
nastiness. There should be instant
cooperation to eradicate those weeds
and so far as possible prevent their
recurrence.

Are not women naturally as light
hearted, brave and hopeful, as men?
Yes, certainly; but a woman's or
ganism is essentially different from
man's,-more delicate, more sensitive
and more exacting. Women in DEL
icate health are more dependent,
more nervous, more irritable and
more respondent. When a woman
develops nervousness, sleeplessness,
backaches. headaches, dragging down
pains and melancholia she should lose
no time in giving Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound a fair trial, as it
will quickly dispel such troubles.
This root and herb medicine contains
no drugs and has been the standby
of American womanhood for nearly
fifty yeare.-Adv,

lie entered china store for the
purpose of making a purchase. Seeing
valuable statuette broken into
dozen pieces lying on the counter, he
asked the price. The salesman said it

The mean one directed it to be sent

He was at her house when the box

Jeremiah's Place

A prosy preacher was giving a dis
course on the prophets. First he
dwelt at length on the minor proph-
cts. At last he finished them, and the
congregation gave a sigh of relief.
He took a long breath and continued:
"Now I shall proceed to. the major
prophets"
After the major prophets had been
amply treated the congregation gave
another sigh of relief.
"Now that l have finished with the
minor prophets and the major proph-
cts what about jeremiah? Where is
Jcremiah's place."
At this point a tall man arose and
announced:
Jeremiah can have my place; l
am going home. "-Rehobeth Sunday

CONFIRMS THE FRENCH VIEW

II am only one small part of the
Administration and | cannot pretend
to speak for it, but one thing | can
say with Certainty-that calm, Sc
rene man in the White House will
never countenance any policy on the
part of this country that will desert,
bctray or even impugn any policy of
our ancient and trusted ally, France"
Thus spoke James NJ. Beck, Solicit
tor General of the United States,
when Charles NJ. Schwab, President
of the PENNSYLVANIA Society, intro
duced him as the chief speaker at
the organizations luncheon to Mar
shall Joffre at the Hotel Plaza yes
terday.
France will hear those words with
gratitude" said Marshal Joffre in his
brief speech in reply, for those sem
timents are the sentiments of
France" News report in New York
Times, April 26
This conveys more favorable i'm
precision than Mayor Hylan's remark
in welcoming Marshal Joffre, that
the generosity of the French pco-
pie will ultimately triumph over the
/! harsh and martial quality now ap-
parently being pursued by certain
French statesmen who are not faith
fully representative of genuine
French sentiment" One is reminded
of the fervor Hylan displayed on a
! certain occasion since the war
toward visiting Germans, also Of the
evident fact that he would have
more to hope from the German than
from the French vote in his town.
There are some who are mindful
of what France has undergone, and of
the further fact that the German at
titude throughout has been convinc-
ing OF their purpose to evade payment
of all their obligations in so far as
this may be possible. Why should
France--or anyone else, for that mat
| ter-credit the Germans with a par
ticle of sincerity in their protesta-
tions and promises? Has Germany
| from the moment war was declared
up to the present given any real
assurance of desiring peace and de-
string to make good her pledges? If
she has we have overlooked it.
Lloyd George speaking Wednesday
! at Genoa said: THE world must rec
ognize the fact that Russia and Ger
many combined contain over two
thirds of the people of Europe. Their
voice will be heard, and the Russo
German treaty is the first warning
of It," Why, that seems to have
| been fact which France all along
| has recognized; also that there has
been no manifestation on the part of
| the Germans or those now in the as
cendancy in Russian affairs of de-
sire to respond in kind to fair dealing
or generosity. That is one OF the
| facts France has been insisting upon
while Lloyd George, to satisfy polit-
ical clamor, has been willing to dick
er. The manner in which they have
tricked him and threaten the sue
cess of the Genoa conference bears
| out the attitude OF France.

decision as to whether n policy OF ar
bitrary interference with tho affairs
of the Caribbean region, deriving it's
sanction from superior strength and
backed up by force of arms shall he
mounded into a precedent and set up
as a definite policy governing our
future relations with tho Caribbean
and perhaps with ali Latin America.
Haiti is tied hand and foot to the
United States under a treaty forced
upon her by military occupation, by
coercion and duress, by fear of tho
consequences of martial law, and by
the forcible seizure, the placing un-
der an embargo and the Withholding
of all her national funds and pccu-
mary resources" adding that dur
ing the past six years mot less than
$1,000 900 of the American people
have been spent upon the seizure of
Haiti and Santo Domingo"
A review of alleged atrocities said
to have been practiCed in Conse-
qucnce of American occupation was
included in the document with the
comment that "the evil results re-
main to stain the honor of America
and to arouse suspicion against us
throughout all Latin America"
The address further asserted that
the Haitian people are now organ
iZing a boycott against all American
made gOods-a voluntary boycott
against which our officials will lie
powerlcss-and are taking steps TO
fhnt,, INN
sources. The result is that honest.
legitimate commerce with the whole
of South America, is being leopard
lied. 1t is evident that there il n
powerful driving force behind this
occupation IS yet not understood. A
careful reading of the senate hearings

York and Boston DESTROYS OF forcing

rich and fertile for sugar, cotton and
castorseed and tobacco. The inhab-
itants are at the mercy of devotees
of commercial penetration, who are
counting on the absence of title deeds
to warrant the wholesale scqucstra-
ton of Haitian lands"
1t concludes by urging what was
described as the necessity for the
establishment OFFS n-American
Congress of at least the leading
North and South American powers
for the settlement of any differences
or difficulties that might arise in the
future.

The Law. Is for All

tbOSton transcript
When Mr. Gompers, under the
questions Samuel Untermevcr pro-
pounded in behalf of the Lockwood
Committee, said on Saturday, God
save labor from the courts" and
took the position that unionized
labor might resist the laws if the
laws seek to subject the employee
TO the responsibility that it places
upon tho employer, he uttered doc
trine that is absolutely untenable
under the Constitution d the United
States. 1t is the doctrine that labor
is outside the law in respect of its
own obedience. and vet may take
fun advantage of the law as a
weapon against the employer. Mr..
Gompers proposed, in his responses to
Mr.. Untermcyer regarding corruption
and injustice practiCcd by labor union
leadors-mcn like Sam Parks and
BrindelI-no remedy whatever except
to let such conditions 20 or having
patience" to wait until labor. BY it's
own processes, frees itself Of these
abuses. He Is not clear in his mind
at all how this publication is to
be reached, but he is clear as to
one thing, and that IS that the law
and the courts must not interfere
with organized labor and its DEGREES,
and that wages must never be re-
duced.
This doctrine Of labor's special
immunity from legal interference is
entirely revolutionary. totally mis-
chievous. We can never have a Gov
eminent Of law, nor any such thing
