Every honest laborer should have at the very least “a living wage” — certainly pay sufficient to enable him to provide proper food, clothing and housing for himself and family, edu cate his children, and with the right spirit and practice of thrift lay up something for a “rainy day” and for old age. The varying circumstances and conditions under which labor is per formed and families must live, make it a difficult matter to say exactly what that wage should be. The dif ference in the size of families, their varying needs and desires, compli cate this question, and it would be impossible to have a fixed rule cover ing every industry. A contented workman, taking an intelligent interest in the business in which he is employed, is a most valu able asset to any concern and to the community. Capital is entitled to reasonable re turns on its investment, and failure to receive it inevitably results in a cutting down of profitable employ ment to labor. Farmers cannot be expected to raise crops at a loss and keep it up very long, and people who invest their money in enterprises will naturally withdraw it if it brings them no re turns. Thousands of acres of land will have to lie idle if the farmer can not make his business profitable, just ns millions of money hav£ been with drawn from productive industry the past two years. The writer once said something a- bout “watered stocks” in a conversa tion with President Harahan, of the Seaboard, and we will never forget his illuminating reply. “Do you sup pose,” he said, “that men would be willing to take the risk on the vast a- mount of money it takes to build a railroad through tho mountains be tween Cedartown and Birmingham, for instance, if bhey knew they were going to get only 2 or 3 per cent on their investment? They might better put it out at interest in the first place.” And that was true enough, of course. People with money are not going to take extraordinary risks without huving some chance of big profits ns an inducement, and the taking of such risks has been neces sary in the past for the development of tho country. Also, if we were « millionaire, we wouldn’t put our money into building railroads now, would you? An excellent young man, working for a salary, once remarked to us: “There is a straight fight between capitnl and lubor, and there is no middle ground.” Yet that young man had wisely saved his money and had bought a home, and was to that extent a cap italist. Every man who labors ought to have an ambition to become a capi talist. So mote it be! A city worker wno was getting more for an hour’s labor than the av erage farmer gets for a day, so to nothing about time and n half over time, once remarked to the writer: “The farmer must raise more, so we won’t have to pay such high prices.” Thoughtless talk that! Good pri ces for farm products and good wages for town workers go together to make good times, and you are not going to see one without the other very long at a time. Like our churches and all good in stitutions, the worst enemies organiz ed labor has are those within its own ranks. For instance, a contractor — not in Cedartown, by the way,-—once told the writer about his being forced out of business. He knew what an honest day’s work was, and made his bids accordingly. His hands dawdled on the job, and made it cost so much that he was obliged to quit Big corporations would welcome the collective bargaining demanded by the unions if slackers and incom petents were weeded out. There is nothing more vital to this country today than that capital and labor should be brought into friendly relations, for the good of each and for the general welfare. Both sides will have to get rid of the leadership of some men who care more for show ing their power than anything else, and both will have to use common sense. It certainly ought to be pos sible for both to adopt a “live and let live” policy.” Too great centralization of power is harmful to either capital or labor, and some elasticity is necessary. We have had a great coal strike ever since April 1st, for instance,be cause some mines cannot pay as high wages as others, yet the effort is be- — F5 - RTTir'!T A T 4 A T_."R! — -*■ Thursday, Frida No. 10 Snow Dril iy and Saturd ft Lard $! ay#- L.23 Pints Wesson Oil 22c Shredded Wheat onljr 9 21* 2 Cans Old Dutch Cleanser 15c Puffed Wheat onljr 11c Q Cakes Ivory^ Z Soap 13c Puffed Rice only" 13c Q Cakes Palm 0 Olive Soap 21c Pts, Red Rock 4 Ql#* Ginger Ale I £.20 4 A lbs.

The easiest way, of course, would be to close the poor er mines, just ns the poorer railroads arc* today being scrapped, but this is hard on the people who have put money into them and throws many out of employment. It’s a hard proposition that this country is up against, and it is unfor tunate thnt the Golden Rule had not been studied long ago to some pur pose by both pnrties. Capital can ex ist without labor, and labor can exist without capital, but both need the other if they hope to accomplish any thing. The situation is still further com plicated by such conditions as havo arisen on some lines in the South in the Shopmen’s strike, where the man agement and the men had always got ten along amicably; the roads valuod the men and wanted them to stay, but the Shopmen had to make choice be tween their jobs and the national or ganization to which they belonged, and most of them chose the latter. No one should even think of criticizing, them for this, for they consider it a matter of principle, and most of us would doubtless obey orders just as they have done. Here in Cedartown the Central Railway Shopmen are among our most valued citizens,and everybody hopes that the trouble — for which neither the Central Railway nor themselves are responsible —may soon be amicably adjusted and they will be at work gain. And in conclusion— Any attempt of Capital to destroy organized labor will fail. And Labor can gain far more by being on friendly terms with Capital than by carrying a chip on its shoul der all the time. Some one s all the time taking the joy out of life. Now comes the warning that the tops of the fruit jars containing “mountain joy” are likely to add zinc poisoning to the other dangers of the drink. The new Republicn tariff will in crease the cost of corsets to the wo men of this country $58,000,000,this given in effect to manufacturers who contributed to the Republican cam paign fund. These figures, though, won’t make the women think any the less of corsets for improving their figures.

Lord Northcliffe, of England, one of the world’s greatest newspaper men, died Monday. Judge W. W. Brandon, of Tusca loosa, was the winner of the Demo cratic nomination for Governor of Alabama in the primary last week. A significant fact in connection with all the primaries in the various states last week, except the wet-Ger- man victory of Senator Reed in Mis souri, is that the beer and light wine advocates were badly beaten. For the first six months of 1922 Georgia is ranked fourth among all of the states east of the Mississippi river and tenth among all states of the Union in production of electricity by waterpower, according to figures just released by the United States geo logical survey of the Department of the Interior. Irish trouble every day Is mighty bad o’er Limerick way, But if they’d write ’em Instead of fight ’em, They’d find their limericks better pay. The sudden death Saturday of Ar thur Griffith, the noted Irish leader, is a calamity to Ireland and to civiliza tion at this time. The party that played politics by putting the responsibility for the fi nancial depression of Cleveland’s sec ond administration on the Democrats* although every student of affairs knew that it was the result of world conditions and that the President wor ked heroically to mend them, cannot object now to the Democrats using “Harding and Hard Times” as their slogan. “What is sauce for the goose is also sauce for the gander," and the Republicans are going to have to swallow a bitter dose of their own medicine at the polls in November. When Tom Hardwick made his cam* paign for Governor on Tom Watson’s coat-tails two years ago—and,by the way, Senator Watson has cast him off as a promise-breaking ingrate,—Tho Standard took occasion to declare that we had never heard as many mis statements of fact uttered in the same length of time as when he spoke in Cedartown. It will also be remem bered, and will be properly resented now', that he violated the usual prop rieties and went out of his way to at tack our distinguished fellow citizen. Senator W J.
