AS WE SEE 1T
BY T. }. o'FLAHERTY

THERE is a possibility that a gen
i eral strike will take place in the
coal industry. AS we pointed out be-
fore, this is about the only way that
the injury caused by the Jacksonville
Pact could be overcome. 1t is now
admitted by John l.. Lewis that the
government was responsible for that
agreement. This was suspected at
the time, but it is we'll that Lewis
now admits it. If the miners union
had militant leadership one would
feel more confident that the operators
were facing fight. But with Lewis
at the helm, there cannot be any con-
fidence among the workers.
WHAT can be thought Of a man
w who admitted in an interview to
G. capitalist reporter, that the United
Mine Workers Of America, co-operated
with the department of justice in get
ting evidence against the radicals in
the union. This means that Lewis and
has understrappers became stool
pigeons against the most militant
members in the organization. To
Europeans, this would seem impossi-
re. CROOKED tho the worst Of the la
bor leaders of Britain may be, they
never stopped this low.
nEv. Arthur w. Brooks, a New
~ York preacher predicted that the
threatened coal strike will be OF short
duration.' Brooks has a loong list OF
cuccessful predictions to his credit,
it is said, including his prophesy that
Coolidge would be elected. This faker
declares that the stars in their
courses" are against the miners. Yes,
in so far as the sky pilots can manipu-
late them. However. the day Of the
sky pilot is coming to an end and
before long Brooks and his tribe will
have to go to work for living or
starve.
TTAD William Jennings Bryan lived
Ii little longer he would be worth
several millions Of dollars, at the rate
his Florida real estate is jumping in

death the value of mis- property in
creased by over three and half mil
lion dollars Is it surprising that
Bryan should become more and more
enthusiastic about the lord as his end
approached? God was good to Bryan.

f" SOMETHING DIFFERENT ?''-
TURN TO KITCHEN
GARTNET

With the universal change brought
about by the transition from winter
to spring and summer, the human
system demands a change in diet.
Nature meets this requirement by
providing seasonal foods, and the
alert housewife sees to it that those
in her care are supplied with these
necessary health-giving foods.
There are many ways OF serving
almost every kind OF food and here's
where Nellie Maxwell gained her
popularity. Her -Kitchen Cabinet"
department in every issue OF THE
JOURNAL contains wide range of
suggestions for preparing delicious
dishes relished by the entire family,
You'll welcome her assistance par
ticularly at this time of year when
the desire for something different"
is felt by everyone. Any OF her
dishes will make great hit.

RISING SUN FARMERS UNION

RISING SUN FARMERS UNION
Rising Sun Farmers Union al
their meeting May 23rd adopted the
following minute:
The steadily rising tax rate, with
the increased valuation placed on
Farm Property, has been SO great
that most farmers are paying more
tax than the income from their
farms.
The menace is so great, because
of the high salaries paid public of
ficials, and the extravaganza in the
administration of public affairs, that
we call upon the tax payers every
where to demand that the strictest
economy be used in the admins
tration OF affairs where the taa
payers money is concerned, and
| further demand that the burden be
distributed to reach all those wht
should help.
In 1900 the tax rate in Maryland
was: State, .17A; County (CeciD
80; making total of 1.07 ".
In 1924: State. 30; County (CeciD
1.60; making total OF 100; an in
crease of .82A.
II this increase is to stop, useless
Offices must be eliminated, high
salaries cut down, large appropria,
lions must not be granted, bond is
sues stopped. Otherwise our prop
erty will be confiscated. Perhaps il
is now too late.
We favor a per capita tax on al
male citizens from II to 80 years OF
age.

monument being carved in their
name on Stone Mountain"
Here in sixty years since the
close of the War between the States,

OF Robert e. Lee and Stonewall

COPY OF TELEGRAM SENT TO
PRESIDENT COOLIDGE


President Calvin Coolidge,
White House Washington, ID. e.
On behalf of Philadelphia Year
ly Meeting of the Religious Society
of Friends, we express our satisfac-
ton at your refusal to approve the
misuse of Armistice Day for a mus
ter or defense test. Ambassador
Houghton has expressed the hope
that Europe will decide speedily on
the establishment there of peace
biased on the assumption OF good
faith by all who participate in it,
We join heartily in this hope. A,
national defense test, on Armistice
Day or any other day would dc
much to defeat such a hope, and
would serve as definite incentive
to greater reliance on armed force
We believe that our country is
ready to follow courageous Christian
leadership in the other direction.

of the Representative Meeting.

TREE PLANTING CONTEST

Considerable impetus has been
given to tree planting in St. Louis
County, Mimi, through tree-planting
contests participated in by Is com
munities Portions of the district
have been made extremely bare and
unlovely by indiscriminate timber
cutting, and in some parts of the
county the development OF iron
mines has detracted still more from
the beauty OF the landscape. Over
26,5OO trees were planted in the
county last year. These were not
reforestation trees, but were orna-
mental trees set out to beautify
rural home surroundings or to pro-
vide fruit The kinds most used
were plum, cherry, mountain ash,
poplar and Norway spruce. Several
demonstration windbreaks were also
established, and through the CO.
operation OF the State forest SER
vice a thousand trees were planted
in this way, according to a report re-
ce1Ved by the united states Depart
ment of Agriculture.
In Jackson community, which won
the prize, over 1000 trees were
planted. The prize awarded was a
decorated copy of Joyce Kilmer's
poem. &c Tree" framed suitably
for hanging in a school or COM
munity hall.
Extension workers in st. Louis
County also urged people to main
tain living Christmas trees all the
year round and to decorate them out
of doors at Christmas time. This
feasible and attractive idea was
adopted by a great many families,
and as a result asa fir trees were
planted.

MIKE! NIKE WHAT is
A NIKE :?

It is a piece of mail SO incor-
rectly or incompletely addressed, or
SO improperly prepared that it can
not be delivered or returned without
special treatment and it goes to-
The post ofiice--hospital for
postal operation. 1t differs from a
dead letter in that dead letter,
parcel, or circular can neither be de-
livered nor returned, and goes to
the post Office morgue for burial.
A letter, post card, parcel, or
newspaper, entering the mails is
simply piece Of mail.
II, because of inadequate or in
correct address, and, in the case OF
the package-improper wrapping
a piece of mail must be taken out OF
the regular postal machinery for
directory service" or hospital SER
vice." it become Mike.
If the postal sleuths are able to
correct the address, or return to
sender for a better one, it again be-
comes a piece of mail-though de-
layed mail, is the better sobriquet.
If, after an exhaustive effort, the
postal detective" must give up the
puzzle, and there is no return ad-
dress. the piece OF mail is consigned
to the Dead Letter Office, where it
again changes its name to dead letter
or dead parcel, as the case may be.

Auxiliary memorial poppy sale is
being conducted throughout the
country during this week.
Funds from the sale Of peoples
are applied to rehabilitation and
disqualification of disabled veterans.
The idea OF wearing the poppy in
remembrance of all who died in the
World War was presented to The
American Legion by Miss Molina
Michael, of Athens, Ca, who from
all information obtainable, was the
first in America to wear the poppy.
The memorial peoples are made by
disabled veterans in the hospitals OF
Arkansas, California, Idaho, Ken
lucky, Missouri, Oklahoma, Oregon
and Virginia. Minnesota and Wis
consin have made peoples for all
states not carrying on the industry.
Minnesota department has financed
the making of 100000 peoples.
The extensive production OF these
peoples has resulted in between
$4,000 and $4,000 being paid to
needy and disabled veterans who
have made them.
The American Legion Auxiliary

A GREAT UNDERWRITING

The Walter Hines Page School OF
International Relations to be found
ed at Johns Hopkins University,
Baltimore, is non-political and non
religious from the standpoint OF be-
ing partisan toward any interest. 1t
is not peace" school but its work
will necessarily promote the cause
of peace. 1t is sound and logical
attempt to prevent international dis
cord. One of the greatest safe
guards of this nation is its thousands
of country daily and weekly news
papers. Ignorance among n
masses cannot exist with these
papers distributing information on
all subjects. The establishment OF
the Page School will help get facts
and information on international
problems which will enable the peo
pie of all countries to better under
stand international questions. I'm
derstanding permits intelligent ac-
ton. But the findings of the Page
School will amount to little without
the cooperation of the press in dis
cussing the facts which the school
may present from time to time.
AS the School and the press are SO
closely related, it would make a
great historical record il thousands
of Americans papers could be re-
corded among the founders OF this
institution.
1t is expected" says DR.. Frank
J. Goodnow, president OF Johns
Hopkins, that not only will the
School itself through publication OF
it's findings, make valuable contri-
buttons to existing knowledge OF in
ternational relations, but that
trained body of investigators apd
teachers will be developed to carry
on the work after they leave the
school.
with understanding will come
release from the errors that give
rise to unnecessary international
friction and discord. AS the motto
OF the Johns Hopkins University
declares, veritas vos hberabit-the
truth will set you free"
An endowment fund of $1,0OO,OOO
which is necessary to provide the in
come to maintain this school is now
being raised. 1t is the desire of the
founders of the institution to secure
this money not from few wealthy
men but from thousands OF Ameri-
can citizens who wish to record
their views in favor of Intelligence
in preference to ignorane in the
settlement of any great world
problem.
