A THOUGHT FOR TODAY.
Let all thole that put their trust
in Thee rejoice: let those that love
Thy name he joyful in Thee. —Pimm
5:11.
I tell you this for a wonder, that no
man shall then be glad
Os his fellow’s fall and mishap to
snatch at the work he had.
Then all mine and all thine shall be
ours, an no more shall any
man crave
For riches that serve for nothing but
to fetter a friend for a slave.
• For all these shall be ours, and all
men’s, nor shall any lack a
share,
Os the toil and the gain of living in
the days when the world
grows fair.
William Morris.
EDITORIAL
HARDING SPEAKS FOR THE
REAL AMERICA.
<4 r T’HE Eighteenth Amendment de-
* nies to a minority a fancied
sense of personal liberty, but the
amendment is the will of America
and must be entertained by the gov
ernment and public opinion, else con
tempt for the law will undermine our
very foundations.”
1 his statement was made by Presi
dent Harding in a Fourth qf July
speech at his “old home, town” of
Marion, Ohio, in his first visit back
there since his elevation to the White
House. In it he spoke the voice of
the nation. While it is true, as all
know, that there are differences as
regards prohibition, its wisdom and
its effectiveness, we believe there is
no doubt that it is the expressed
will of the overwhelming majority of
the people and will continue to be.'
Prohibition is here to stay, because
the people want it, and it is not good
citizenship to participate in the clan
destine violations of the law constant
ly practiced by so many of our so
called good citizens. Such acts tend
to bring law into contempt and are
therefore dangerous to the fabric of
which our government is built.
President Harding had a few com
ments to make upon the labor situ
ation, which is again in the forefront
of public attention because of the
strike last week of the railroad shop
men of the country, following the
local miners’ strike of some weeks
ago. Said he:
“A free American has the right to
labor without any other’s leave. It
would be no less an abridgement to
deny men the right to bargain col
lectively, and governments cannot
tolerate any class or group domina
tion through force. It will be a
eorry day when group domination is
reflected in our laws. Government
and the lawn which government is
charged with enforcing must be for
all the people ever aiming at the com
mon good.”
Although this statement by the
president is not very explicit, the
final sentence reveals the policy of
the government. A few days ago
Harding in effect served notice on
the coal operators and miners, who
have been apart for months and the
result of which is that the na
tion’s coal supply is almost exhaust
ed, that if they didn’t settle their
differences speedily they might ex
pect the government to take hold and
operate their mines for the public
good. And if the railroad strike
comes to a point where it seriously
threatens commerce the government
■will step in and operate the trains.
Arthur Brisbane, always a friend
of labor and the masses, observes
that the public, which has been
through a great world war and is
■still paying the enormous cost there
of, is tired of class wars and pre
dicts that no labor strike of major
proportions will be successful at this
or any other early date, because of
the power of public sentiment against
such strikes.
The rights of the public are para
mount to those of any party to these
disputes, he asserts, and that a too
long harassed public will not permit
to be trodden upon as com
■placently as of yore.
” The president might have been
speaking with reference to Georgia,
in part of his address when he de
clared with emphasis that his “one
outstanding conviction” after 16
months in White House was that the

CHIPMUNK LEADS WAY TO NEW ADVENTURE.
“Oh, say, have you heard the news?” he cried.
/ANE day Nancy and Nipl. were
playing down by the chestnut
tree when Chirk Chipmunk came hur
lying along.
“Oh, say, have you heard the
news?” he cried, running to the uip
of a stone and sitting < n his hind
kgs in his excitement. He frisked his
tai' this way and that just as so.w
people talked with theij nands.
“Come with me both of you, and
I'll show you,” replied Chirk mys
teriously. “Everybody in Whisper
ing Forest is talking about it and
they’re not whispering either.”
Off they scampered, the three of
them, and finally Chirk stopped at a
smooth, grassy place between the
blueberry patch and the hazel bush.
“There it is,” he whispered, pointing
straight ahead.
Nancy’s eyes nearly popped out of
her head with amazement, and Nick
whistled softly. For there was a
little new house with a new shingle
beside the door, which said Doctor
Snuffles would be inside whenever
needed.

WHOM SHALL MOLLY MARRY?
Molly Accepts Wheeler's Business Offer; Billy Barton Plays Hand
In Love Game.
BY ZOE BECKLEY.
After having halted the elopement
of Molly Wayne with Donald Man
ning, an actor, by producing Leila,
former love of Manning, Ben Wheel
er, manufacturer, himself proposes
marriage. When Molly fails to give
an answer he asks her to come to
work in his factory as head of the
office staff.
Billy Barton, architect, and anoth
er admirer of Molly, is executing a
commission for Wheeler.
<CVTES,” went on Ben’s steady
voic?, “it shall be just busi
ness, Molly. I won’t bother you. I’ll
treat you like any other employe
with a clear road to qualify as part
ner if you get interested and want
to stick. What do you say, girl?
Once more Molly felt solid ground
beneath her ’ feet. Ben’s offer of
work was at last the support she
was groping for.
“Yes, Ben,” she cried eagerly,
“Yes’.”
It turned out to be a life-saver.
The men and women under her at
the Wheeler Cutlery Works needing
her constant supervision interested
her hugely and helped her forget her
own grief and perplexity.
From her temporary office—plans
for the new administration ,building
were being made by Billy Barton—
she could hear the steady champ of
machines turning out knives, razors,
shears for all parts of the world.
How different it all was from the
garish and flimsy contribution Don
Manning was making. And yet
Don—
She forced herself not to think
along those lines. She resolutely
looked at Ben Wheeler, the driving
young power not only of his own
big plant but of the whole industry
and of Midvale itself.
He kept to his promise of “strictly
business during business hours” and
with him business filled nearly all
his waking hours.
One day when Barton, the archi
tect, came to discuss the distribu
tion of office space, Wheeler brought
him in.
“Thresh it out, you two,” he said
at the doorway, “I can’t bother with
house finishing and furnishing.”
When he had gone, Molly and
Billy Barton avoided each other’s
eyes. They had not met since the
night of the Don affair, when Ben
nings had taken Molly to the station
in his ear. But soon they were en
grossed in Billy’s blue prints and all
embarrassments forgotten.
greatest traitor to his country is he
who appeals to prejudice and in
flames passion, when sober judgment
and honest speech are so necessary to
firmly establish tranquility and se
curity. But he wasn’t speaking of
Georgia alone. The fact is, the spirit
tof intolerance and prejudice has
swept the entire country in the
last few years, and although we see
it flaming red throughout the length
and breadth of Georgia, other sec
tions have had and are having similar
experiences.
President Harding is to be com
mended by all good citizens, of what
ever party or creed, for his courage
ous and high-minded Fourth of July
address. He spoke like a statesman,
and he spoke from the real heart of
America.
“What will Dr. Mink say?’.’ said
Nancy. “Won’t he be cross?”
“Cross! Humph!” said Chirk with
a swish of his saucy tail. “I don’t
think it makes much difference
about that. He got so old-fashioned
that all he could do was blood-let
ting.”
“The people of Whispering Forest
got tired of it and sent word to the
Fairy Queen. So 1 s’pose this Doctor
Snuffles must be a friend of hers.”
At this very moment the door of
the little house opened and an
odd-looking little fairy gentleman
stepped out. He had knee-breeches
and buckled shoes and long coat tails
that trailed on the ground. Also
he wore wings embroidered with pic
tures of canary birds.
He had a sign in his hand which
he tacked beside the door. The sign
said, “Wanted. A bill-maker and a
bandage-roller at once.”
“Let’s ask him if we’ll do,” whis
pered Nancy.

“Let’s what?” it was Ben Wheel
er who spoke.
Molly could have sung with deep
down happiness as she bent her head
with Billy’s blond one over the big
table plotting where her room should
be and whether Wheeler’s private
office should have 12 feet here and
nine there or whether efficiency
called for another apportionment.
For once there was no clash any
where. Her mind and Billy's struck
sparks and inspiration from each
other. One would suggest a prob
lem; the other caught it up, solved it
and tossed it back again.
It was delicious and stimulating:
She was creating, and working with
strength to upbuild, serving Ben
Wheeler, helping Billy, learning a
mt.
“By Jove!” exclaimed Barton,
glancing at his watch, “Five o’clock!
1 swear I never worked so well or
enjoyed it so rpuch before.”
“I either. Bill, your face is pink
with excitement!”
“And your eyes shine like—like
what’s those stones they wear in
rings? I say, work’s a regular jag
when you love it!”
“An inspiration-”
“You’re the inspiration, Molly.”
“Well, let’s call it the work plus
you plus me!”
‘All right, let's!” And the two
clasped hands beamingly.
"Let’s what?” It was Ben Wheel
er who spoke, suddenly, from the
doorway, his keen glance taking in
everything at a sweep.
