A THOUGHT FOR TODAY.
If we hope for that we see not,
then Jo we with patience wail for
it.—Romans 8:25.
Patience had no sooner placed her
self by the mount of sorrows, but the
whole heap sunk to such a degree
that it did not appear one-third part
as big as it was before.—Joseph Ad
dison.,
E D ITOrTa L .
COMMENDING THE PRESIDENT
PRESIDENT Harding will be com
mended by most citizens, we be
lieve, for his courageous announce
ment that the strong arm of the gov
ernment will be employed, if neces
sary, to keep the mail trains running
in spite of the strike of railway shop
men, and for the protection of life
and property and the preservation of
law and order. What the public is
interested in most following the dec
laration is in his performances neces
sary to make good. The spectacle
of the recent murders of non-union
coal miners at Herrin, 111., is still
fresh before their eves, with no
knowledge of the slightest move by
any government agency to see that
these murders are punished or that
they will not be repeated, Astound
ing as they were and shocking to the
senses of the average disinterested
citizen. Whether we shall have a
similar occurrence in the shopmen':
strike, in which incipient mob dis
orders already have taken place in
some centers, remains to be seen, in
the face of the government’;; an
nouncement of policy.
This is not a discus: lon of the mer
its or demerits of the railroad dis
pute, nor an attempt to place the
blame for the walkout or to <b
who is wrong and who i The
railroad men and their sympathizers
in the present controversy justify
the walkout by the statement that
the railroad labor board did not force
the. railroad executives to live up to
its ruling and orders regarding the
farming out of shop work. Which
probably H true. At least, it is gen
erally conceded that the board’s rul
ings on this point were violated.
BUT—and here is the great point—
.‘Up to the time of the walkout
of the men this was a controversy
between the men and the roads, or
between the men and the board on
the one hand and the managers on
the other. It was entirely a private
dispute, or one of law so far as the
effect on the public was concerned,
and one which could be handled as
such. But the minute the men walk
ed out in defiance of the orders of
the railroad labor board, a court set
up by authority of law—which is the
authority of the people—it became a
controversy between the men and the
public, and in dispute between a mi
nority and the great majority consti
tuting the general public the interests
of* the public are always paramount.
That is why we commend the presi
dent for declaring that the mail
trains must operate, strike or no
strike, and in that declaration he has
tie backing of most of the 110,000,-
000 people who constitute our great
country. The shopmen have griev
ances, undoubtedly. Ik hat organiza
tion has not? The average citizen
has sore grievances, also. There
ar® orderly ways to handle those
grievances. But the day has passed
when our national transportation
system can be allowed to be para
lyzed by a dispute between managers
and workers and tha f the vast mil
lions of disinterested citizens and
great industries other than ra'lroadi 1
made to suffer while two disputants
try to wear each other down.
The American people are fair
minded whj-n tLey are adequately in
formed, and can be depended upon to
see that ultimate justice is done >£
the parties to a dispute of this or
any other kind in which th® publi
is directly affected will see that it
is informed with the facts instead of
propaganda. But they have no pat'-
ere® with national strikes, and such
events only tend to prejudice the
minds of the people against those
who bring them about.
The shopmen of Americus whb are
on strike are to be heartily'commend
ed for their high mindedness and
respect for law and order. They
have repeatedly declared that there
Will be no disorders here during the
L strike, nr.d the people of this com-

WHOM SHALL MOLUY MARRY?
Billy Begins I o Fight Ben in Earnest—l Want You Io Promise 1 o
Let Nothing Discourage You 1 roin Fighting Ben Wheeler.’
BY ZOE BECKLEY.
MOLLY knew she was being cruel.
As Billy tood with his back to
ward her, fighting out his problem,
Molly felt like putting her arms about
him with a “Never mind, poor kid, I
won't put you to such a test.”
But she steeled herself. Billy
turned an<f Molly felt her own fate
hung on his decision. Iler face was
pale. He moistened his lips and
spoke with an effort, wearily:
“I—agree, Molly. What is it you
want me to do?”
A smile of relief and a twinkle of
fun lit her eyes.
“First,’ she answered, looking up
into his troubled face. “I want you
to promise me you will let - nothing
discourage you from fighting Ben
Wheeler on this contract.
“Second, I want you to be very
nice to me—and make no secret of
it.”
Molly glanced down demurely, but
the response she expected did not
come.
“I have already promised,” said
Billy, “to do whatever you ask.”
Molly grew grave. She put a
hand on his shoulder.
“I know what - you're thinking,
Billy. It must seem to you pure
selfishness on my part —a ‘heads
you-wm-tail -1-lose’ proposition. But
just trust me,. Billy—as I trust you.”
In his characteristic language of
deeds, not words, Billy reached for
the telephone, calling Ben Wheeler
at the Chamber of Commerce Club
restaurant. *

munity have every respect for their
words. All the Americus shop men
are high class citizens and we very
much doubt, had the matter been
left exclusively to them, that there
ever would have been any strike.
These men would have found away
to a peaceful and satisfactory set
tlement of their differences.
It is not men of this type who
cause trouble and against whom the
government is called upon to act.
Rather, it is the hot-beaded irrespons
ible who are found mostly in the
larger cities. The local shopmen are
loyal to their organization, and we
would not have them otherwise. We
have always believed in and support
ed organization of labor, and men
to be true to themselves must be
true to each other. That, in itself,
is an essential of good citizenship.
If the whole of organized labor were
of the same high class we possess
here, with 100 per cent of native
born Americans, we would have few
er labor troubles in this country.

“I want you to listen iu on this,
Molly,” he said. “Over there, at that
other phone.”
She took up the receiver.
“Hello, Wheeler? This is Barton.
And Molly Wayne is listening. Are
you absolutely decided about break
ing that contract with me?”
"All the way to t - hc Supreme court
if necessary, Barton.” Wheeler's
voice was like one of his steel
chisels at work.
"Then we're all set. . I'll tell my
lawyers 1 want speedy action and
plenty of it.”
“Right. G’bye.”
Billy Barton hung up his receiver
yith a jerk, Molly slowly realizing

“Well, that's that,” said Billy with
a mirthless grin. “And may the
best man win.”
“The best man,” repeated Molly
reflectively. “If Ben /Wheeler’s
money win:; for him will that make
him the best man?”
She seemed asking the question of

Molly sighed, picked up her hand

“Remember, Billy, I’m for you in

Wheeler so.”
“Don’t be foolish. It'll mean your

“It’ll mean more than that.” And
with a quick smile of parting she

To help promote good
health see that the articles
you use in your bakings
give you— ? y
Food containing gluten
which is vital to your vitality.
Gluten is the soul of flour
—the real nutritive clement.
It is gluten that builds health,
strength, and makes robust children
and healthy men and women.
Why take a chance on
losing the full value of this
gluten? Good, wholesome bak
ings can be made only from good
materials —no other way —so use only
good baking powder and plain flour
for best results.
Don’t use substitutes such as
self-rising flour, Cake Mixes,
and Egg Savers (so-called).
The safe course which is
pointed out to the family physi
cian is to recommend pure plain flour
and a baking powder of standard
quality, and to be especially watchful
in all cases of malnutrition to be sure the
diet carries strength giving properties.
For best results use -
Calumet Baking Powder and a
good plain flour.
