ORGANIZED L.AECR CELEBRATES TODAY '
Union labor cclebrates today and WELL it may. To organiz
ed labor is due the present favorable condition of American labor,
made so after many battles and great sacrifices by the members of
organized labor. Though cfforts to improve the condition of labor
have been made since the early dawn of history, not until the modern
labor movement have any great strides for the improvement of wag
es and labor conditions been recorded. It ils especially to be said
of the American Federation of Labor that through its untiring ef
forts for the ameclioration of the hard life that was the laborers in the
past, the dawn of a better day “is plainly registered upon the body
politic of America.” Unusuzal efforts to secure the co-operation of
kindred organizations to work in harmony with their fellows have
brought forth fruit and the time will be when labor will in all places
get its own. The peaceful end of the threatened strike will
strengthen the spirit of Unicnism and legislation will follow that
will bring about such conditions as are desired by the fair employer
and employee alike, without resorting to the necessity of strikes.
The Railway Unicns, tutored by the Steel Trust, when Mr.
Roosevelt presided over the destinies of this nation, learned from
Listory a lesson. Morgan & Co., and the associated capitalists se
cured from Mr. Roosevelt the illegal privilege to consolidate the’
Tenncssee Coal and Iron Company with the United States Steel Cor
poration, a direct violation of the Anti-Trust law, on the established
evidence of threatening to create a panic, a strike of capital, if you
please, and Mr. Roosevelt, to avert such a calamity, set aside the
law and ailowed the consolidation.
The act of President Wilson in averting the railway strike, for
the benefit of the entire nation, forced a law through Congress cov
ering the demands of the railway men. The former benefitted but
a few and was a detriment to the many, the latter is far reaching in
its benefits and an injury perhaps to none. We believe the voters
“will so register their approval of the act of President Wilson next
November and thus ratiiy by impiication, the 8-hour day, not only
for railway workers but for labor in all pursuits. It is Democracy
versus privilege. A fitting climax for labor’s celebration.
....Again the youth of our community are back in school and pre
paring themselves for the duties of life. A few years hence they
will be bearing the burdens of the community that are borne by us
today, and it is incumbent upon us to see that they are in every way
fitted to cope with the many and intricate problems that will con
front them. Education is a modern necessity. It is no longer a
luxury reserved principally for the rich. It is just =s essential that
the mind of the farmer be developed to the utmost capacity as it is
for the merchant or the doctor or lawyer. Each branch of indus
try is dependent in a great measure of the success attained by other
branches. No longer can we “go it alone” as our forefathers did in
the good old days. Hence, if we would have our children success
ful in life it is necessary that we afford them every opportunity to
acquire the education that is the first requisite to such achievement.
Keep the public schools in mind, encourage the teachers by your
personal interest and support, and commend the children in their ef
forts to meet your expectations. §peak the good word that breeds
ambition in the breast of teacher and pupil alike, and begih the
speaking today. ?
When you read through this issue of the Leader-Enterprise take
time enough to let one fact sink into your active brain. The paper
on which this issue was printed has cost us approximately double
what it cost us two years ago. The ink we used is away up in
price. The oil that keeps the press revolving is up in price. The
power that moves the machinery is sky high. In fact, every item of
expense is up in the clouds and many are away above them, and
every dollar of expense means just that amount of money right out
of our pocket. A great many subscribers are in arrears on sub
scription, and we need that money in order to meet the daily increas
ing cost of producing this paper. It is simply thoughtlessness on
your part, we know, but our creditors do not recognize that word.
It don't go with them for an instant. Do we get “ours?”
If you are wallowing in gold, and don’t like the banks, and can't
find anything to suit you at the stores, and investments don't appeal
to you, and you can't find a way to get rid of it, we humbly suggest
that you slide up to our desk and pay up your subscription.
Editor Allen done himself and his town credit when he issued a
48-page special trade edition, showing up tne progress of his town
and its institutions. We congratulate the Moultrie Observer on its
special edition. It was a boomer.
A man with a single idea is a crank, while one with no idea at
21l is often a successful politician.
The fellow who pulls other people’s chestnuts out of the fire sel- |
<¢om has any of his own to pull.
Just keep right on breezing through life without a thought of
the welfare of others and in the end you will die without knowing
that you have even lived.
About the only thing that is not open to criticism is that which
you do yourself.

Won't that be wonderful at my

PCRTER THINKS THAT
-~ COTTON WILL GO TO 20¢
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 4—Charles
R. Porter, formerly of Georgia,
now president of the Consolidat
ed Petroleum Corporation of No.
1. Wall street, New York city,
passing through Atlanta on his
return from an extensive trip
through the South, declares cot
ton will bring at least 20 cents a
pound by the close of the Euro
pean war, which he believes will
continue for at least twelve
months longer.
“Notwithstanding the fact that
the South is on the eve of har
vesting a cotton crop, the price
has been steadily climbing,” said
Mr. Porter, “This condition is
almost unprecedented in the his
tory of the South's greatest sta
ple.”
Discussing business conditions
generally, Mr. Porter declared the
outlook was never brighter, and
in this connection he called atten
tion to the rise in U. S. Steel Cor
poration stock.
Southern farmers should hold
every bale of cotton they are not
absolutely obliged to sell, is Mr.
Porter’s opinion, for when the
war comes to a close it will bring
the highest price since the Civil
War, :

TO THE VOTEKS OF THE
THIRD CONGRESSION
AL DISTRICT
I hereby respectfully announce
my candidacy for re-election as
your Representative in the Sixty*
Fiith (65) Congress, subject to
the Primary to be held Septem
ber 12
During the short time I have
been your congressmaa, I have
sincerely endeavored to serve you
faithfully, and if my efforts and
record meet with your approval, 1
will feel greatly honored and pro
foundly grateful if you will give
me your support in the coming
clection. Congress has been in
almost continuous session since
you elected me, and duty required
me to stay here, which prevent
ed me from visiting you as often
as I wished. The Ways and
Means Committee is now daily
working on a Revenue measure ;
being on that committee, I must
remain here usntil the new tax law
is pasesd. As soon as Congress
adjourns, or before then, if public
business will permit me to leave,
I expect to canvass the District,
meet the people personally, and
talk to them face to face, both in
dividaully and on the stump.
If re-elected, I promise to dis
charge the duties of the great of
fice with fidelity, and to the best
of my ability.
From the depths of my heart I
thank you for your past kindness
to me.
Cordially yours,
Dd-Sep-19. Charles R. Crisp.
