CONFLICTS BETWEEN GROUPS.
Harper's Weekly haa been the me
dium of a dlacuaalon of the antl-
Uathollc agitation In the United
HtHlea Dr. (Hadden ha* written two
article* of compelling Interest on thl*
subject and In the current number of
the weekly we find nn article by N
N. Prescott which undertakes to pre
sent the other aide of this matter.
We feel that amnelhlng la surely
gained In bringing this wicked fer
mentation of antl-Calhollc and pro
t'aibollc feeling to the level of dear
minded and dispassionate dlaeuaalnn
and we believe that both rrotestants
and ('athiillca will profit by reading
these articles
The work of Tom Watson and that
Inflamed publication "The Menace"
are works of mlachlef and strife. They
should be condemned by every Christ
iajl organisation, without respect to
sectarian prejudice* and preferences,
on the simple ground that their appeal
la an appeal to anger and hatred.
S'he spirit of these publications la
more than antl-Calhollc, It la antl-
Chrl atlan
Whatever may he the differences
between the l’roteatant* and th#
Cgthollca. They certainly have many
thing* In common and It becomes the
duty of both of these Chrtat worship
ping organisation* to find their com
mon Interests and avoid magnifying
thglr differences of religious and po
litical creeds.
Here tn Augusta there exists the
rloee*t personal ties between Catho
lics and Protestants and the bitter
est and most unnecessary political
strife
Mena moat stupendous and de
structlal error* are those which spring
from the conflicts that arise between
group# and classes Just let us re
member that there Is no group that
In all right and no group that Is all
wrong and our vision at once becomes
more far-sighted W# all realise «t
times how and where our great com
mon Interests converge When we
oan keep this In sight steadily we
ahall develop and progress, but spite.
Jgglousy, prejudice. and suspicion
which spring from divisions between
group* and classes are ralally blind
ing and misleading
Wg talk a great deal of gelling to
gether here In Auguata. and The Her
ald -for one. sincerely believes that
each separate cltlsen earnestly de
sires to see this spirit come over the
community. But the trouble Is we
get together only In clique* and sep
arated faction*, each hugging their
dlgtruat of the other and each be
lieving that their* is the only way.
What we need Is poorer memories,
lietter forgetterte* and a clearer and
broader outlook to our common good.
The war In Europe Is a gigantic
demonstration of what thee* group
hatreds lead to There are two cures
for thle sort of thing The first, and
moat perfect Is the realisation of the
brotherhood of all human creature#
the second Is an Intelligent and broad
minded understanding that the whole
world progresses or halts together
In Augusta Cal holloa and Protest
ant* alike prosper with the develop

BILLY PIG AND THE BASKET OF
EGGS.
One morning Hilly F’lg Htartod off
for town with a largo basket of egg*.
"You be very careful of those eggs,”
said Ills mother, "and take them to the
market. I want some sugar and rais
in* In exchange for them, for 1 want
to make a cake, and hurry along, so
you will he hack before dinner time.
Billy I’lg started off on a trot down
th* road, and lie fully Intended to obey
his mother’s Instructions, but he had
to cross a stream of water, and In
stead of going over the little bridge ho
walked under 11, and the muddy water
felt so cool and smooth that he lin
gered, and finally set down his basket
and paddled about until he forgot all
about the eggs.
Now It happened! that soon after he
left home Billy float came down the
nWf *« 6-*y mmi
road and aaw Billy Pig's mother stand.
Ing by the gale.
"Good morning. Madame Pig," said
Billy float. "W here Is Hilly Pig this
fine morning .' 1 suppose he Is working
In the r rden.”
“No, he ts on hi* way to market
with a basket of eggs." said Madam
Pig. "1 want some raisins and sugar
to make a rake. If you happen to see
him, tell him to hurry."
"Indeed l will," replied Hlllv float,
walking faster In the direction in
which Billy Pig had gone.
He hurried along, and suddenly he
looked up and there was Billy Pig, pad
dling In the stream under the little
bridge.
Then he spied the basket of eggs
under a hush, a short distance aaav

"I'll take the eggs to market myself,”
thought Killy CJhat.
Billy Gout crept softly up to the
hush and took the basket and ran all
the way to market. He returned by
another road, and, of course, did not
meet Billy Pig.
"1 knew you were In a hurry for the
raisins and sugar, Madam Pig," he
said, when she answered the knock on
the door.
"I saw the basket of eggs under a
hush down by the bridge, and Billy
Pig was having a good time paddling
in the water. As I was going to mar
ket anyway, I thought I would do him
a kindness and take them along anJ
help you at the same time.”
Billy Goat smiled as he said this, an I
Madam Pig thought he was a very
thoughtful fellow.
"Come right In, Billy Goat, and whon
my cake Is baked you ahall have a
big slice.”
Billy Pig became tired after a w tflle
of paddling, and then he thought of
the eggs and what his mother had
Bald when he started for market.
He went to the bush but the eggs
were gone, and he looked behind it.
he looked all around, but nowhere
could he find the basket Of eggs.
Then Billy Pig began to cry, and
wlitti he had obeyed, and not stopped
to paddle In the water.
When he reached the door of his
house he oould smell the spicy cake,
and he forgot all about the eggs for a
mluuts, and ran into the kitchen. There
sat Billy Goat eating a much larger
piece of cake lhan Billy Pig ever had.
“Where are the eggs you took to
the market this morning?" asked hts
mother, looking very angry.
"Old black bear came out of the
woods and took them away from me,
and 1 have been all this time chasing
him, trying to get them back," said
naughty Bill Pig
Billy Goat nearly choked trying not
tc laugh when he heard this wrong
story.
As he went out of the yasd, Billy
Goat heard something that sounded
very much like crying, and he heard
Madam Pig’s voice saying, "and you
told a wrong story, too, which mad;
It worse. You will not get one bit ol
the vake "

We are all .consumers. Although
outnumbering all other classes by far,
the consumer has never been ade
quately protected. Being unorganized
his battle has nearly without excep
tion been a losing one.
However, consumers are slowly
realizing their powers as a class to
day, and hence commissions are rap
idly being created to consider their
Just demands by our national, state
and municipal legislative councils.
High prices cause a decrease in the
purchasing power of the consumer's
dollar. Manifestly an injury has been
done to those classes in the commun

of the purchasing, power.
