LABOR DAY
Successful and Enjoyable
Celebration
Big Crowd Splendid Parade-Fine
Speech and a Grand Good
Time Generally

The Labor Day celebration in New
ark for 1923 is a matter of history,
and notwithstanding the efforts of
the weatherman to put crimp in
the affair, it was a decided success in
all respects, for which too much credit
cannot be given to the efficient and
hard working committee which had
the matter in charge.
The previously arranged program
was carried out from start to finish.
Grand Marshal Lippincott started the
parade on the dot, and the rain held
off until it was ended, but more than
evened up just as the speaking was
about to commence when it came
down in torrents Immediately after
the invocation by Rev. P. E. Wright.
A hurried adjournment was taken to
the Auditorium Theatre, the use of
which was kindly donated by Manager
Fenberg, which was soon filled by
men and women anxious, to hear the
speaker of the day, Mr.. w. M. Mar
tin, editor of the International Black
smiths and Helpers Journal, who was
introduced by Frank Fishbaugh,
chairman of the Labor Day Com
mittee.
For more than an hour Mr.. Martin
held the close attention of the big
audience while he delivered a master
ly address touching on labor condi-
tions in the past and present, and the
outlook for the future, bringing out
most eloquently the telling parts Of
his remarks on Money First-Lives
Last, Or Lives First-Money Last %
Mr.. Martin said in part:
Mr.. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
I would not feel at home or be as
free today as l might desire, if were
not among a group of artisans and
toilers. | am sure my heart beats
with the fullness of joy and COM
panionship on this occasion, as | ad-

in American history-Labor Day.

MR.. LEVIN IN NEW YORK

Mr.. Alex Levin, proprietor of Le-

York buying merchandise for the new
womens and misses department, which
will be on the second floor of the
present location and will be devoted
to women and misses wear.
Mr.. Levin states in letter that
never before has the market been as

from, so many competitors anxious
for your business that the cost Of
merchandise is much lower as a re-

cision of the toiling masses of the
country. The workers took a holiday
for themselves and Labor Day was
created law, years after the work
ingman demanded and set forth-that
the first Monday in September should
be set aside to celebrate as we desire.
Labor is being called to organize,
stand fast together, with strength OF
character and fearless to act, ready
to obey the command and not weaken.
The dawn of a new day is rapidly
coming, and we will see new light.
Years ago the worker carried his
credentials, a union card, in his inside
pocket. Fear had cowed him and the
clutches of the employer semed to
have him by the throat.
There was a time when the indi-
vidaul worker bargained with the in
dividual employer. That day is gone.
Under the present system of busi-
ness, control and rule is exercised by
trusts.
Organization affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor realize
they have a stupendous task of COM
batting these combinations of wealth
in industry which makes the control
ling factor settling wages and work
ing conditions.
Is the present inequality just, with
it's concentration of wealth and power
at one end of the scale and of poverty
and helplessness at the other?
Friends, no nation can endure un.
der such system as that. instead of
having industrial peace, we will al
ways have industrial war. Organized
labor is not for war, but for peace.
We are opposed to industrial war and
to any other kind of war.
There are more men and women
workers injured and killed on the
fields of labor than in war period
of the same given time. Why is this
and who permits it?
1t is because flesh and blood work.
ers-men, women and children, are
not sufficiently protected against in

Think of the army of workers in

ducing the vast fortunes, lat the ex-
pense of workers)-for kings of cap

JUBILEE A BIG SUCCESS

After a week of pleasure the Elks
Jubilee ended at midnight Saturday.
1t was an unbounded success in every
particular, upwards of $4,000 people
attended during the week, and in the
neighborhood of $4,000 was realized
to be applied on the new home. Three
automobiles were given away at the
close of the jubilee, the American Tri-
bune held the lucky numbers for two
the Buick sport model and the Ford
coupe. F. M. Ryan, manager of the
King Co., was awarded the Chevrolet
sedan. The hustling committee in
charge of the jubilee deserves credit
for the successful manner in which the
affair was conducted.

NO COURSE FOR pEssIMIsM

NO COURSE FOR PESSIMISM
1t was fine note of optimism
that was sounded by the Bank of
Dawson in its advertisement in
the last issue of The News. The
bank asserts, with good reason.
that while crops are greatly re-
duced there is no occasion for
pesslmism, and calls attention TO
the very substantial fact that the
cotton crop of Terrell county

least $1,500,000, to say nothing
OF a considerable sum realized
from hogs, cattle chickens and
beans. Continuing, the adver-
tisement says;
THE same fertile land that
made Terrell famous is here. It
has already produced its millions,
and will produce its millions
more. The same equable climate,
+ the same recurring seasons, the
same sunshine which transmutes
the life of the field and forest
into wealth, the same gentle rain
which sustains man and beast,
bird and vegetable kingdom are
ours"
The bank calls upon the people
to take courage, renew the old
fashioned virtues Of work, eco
nony, thrift and faith in the fu-
ture, (which inspired our fathers
to convert this wonderful county
from primeval wilderness to a
land Of plenty, believing that
beneficent Providence which
smiled upon their efforts will.

will win!"
LETS Coz excIaims the bank.
And we will go even to greater
achievement than in the past.
One short crop-not a failure at
all-is no cause for pessimism or
despair. Matters will again soon
come around all right, and i'll
the sunshine of prosperity the
disappointments Of this year will
be forgotten.
It is such a spirit as that
shown by the Bank of Dawson
that has made Terrell the best
county in the state, and will keep,
it in that proud position. The
bank has rendered a distinct
service in summoning the peo-
pie to move forward and be not
discouraged, and loyal citizens
will follow its lead to better con-
ditions, which are not far distant.

FCRD'S LIFE REVOLVrS
AROUND CHEAP, FAST
TRANSPORTATION

Ford climbed to the top by MAX
ing autos. 1t will be interesting
to see if he rounds out his career
by becoming as big in the railroad
business as he is in the auto in
dustry.
His whole life seems to revolye
around the problem of cheap, fast
transportation.
Ford will spend 20 to 30 million
dollars for complete identification
of the D. T & I. It's 455 miles long
so the cost of electrifying steam
railroad averages $4,000 to $780,
600 a mile.
Our country has around 264,000
miles of railroads. To electrify
them would cost from 10 to 16. bill
lion dollars, at the Ford rate.
That would be expensive or cheap
according to economies that would
er would not result. The amount
invested should never worry any
body. The important question is:
viii it be a paying investments"
The first link of the D., I. & I,
to be electrified is about 13 miles
long. In a sense, it's probably
laboratory experiment. With Is
miles finished, Henry will have dis
covered lot Of things to avoid in
electrifying the remaining 442
miles. @&&
BY using current on big scale
100000 horsepower at work, night
and day-Ford expects to cut his
electric power cost to tenth Of
what it is now.
1t is logical to expect that all
American railroads will be eleetri-
fed eventuallN The coal probably
will be burned at the mines, gem
Grating electric current to be sent
to far distances over hi~h tension
wires-or BY radio transmission,
who knows? a system IKE this is
the dream of great many SCENT
lists who are irving to solve the
coal problem. They vision day
when the whole nation will be on an
electrical basis with the power de-
rived from coal burned at the mines
incidentally saving tremendous coal

IL CARS OF HOT STUFF

The farmers of Butts county

pepper business this year. About
one dozen cars of pimento pep

There were about 1000 acres

Wives.

Eighty-seven out of every 100

money to some other relative. Ac-
cording to an insurance expert in

His explanation is that the wives
feel if they die their husbands can
take care of themselves and don't
need money help.
Nevertheless, it's a quee rbit of
psychology that makes a wife de-
eide against leaving her money to
her husband because he doesn't alb
solutely need it. The answer pro-
badly is that the money usually is

The contract was accepted at

that the contractors are to salvage
