Elsewhere in this issue the program is car ried in detail. Quite a number of new laws and changes were suggested, all of which are constructive and worthy of our most serious consideration. The laborer, in the past, has distrusted the law because he had very little to do in making it. Others have made the law for him. This made it difficult for labor and capital to co-operate. For it is impossible po adjust the various prob lems of laFior on albmineu Knsis KeeificetiadaQr ness. In American politics labor is still in the minority. However, when this minority is properly organized, then it becomes one of the most powerful and far-reaching factors in our political makeup. Organization of labor is progressing rapidly. Further protective and beneficial laws are assured annually. Labor organizations in this state are non political. The North Carolina Federation of Labor has reared a structure upon the funda mental principle that organized labor owes allegiance to no political party. It is partisan only to the principles of justice, freedom and democracy. This principle was again given vigorous expression and approval in the Greensboro assembly. The convention,' among other things, com mitted itself to the following legislation: For free text books. For better health laws. For eight hour day and five day week for all state employes. For legislation to regulate busses and trucks. Against any form of garnishee law. Against employment of state convicts in competition with free labor. Against sales tax legislation. Against criminal syndicalism legislation. Led by a group of excellent officials, the program outlined will be carried forward suc cessfully. ARE THE PEOPLE INTERESTED IN RAILROADS? It should be fairly common knowledge that eight million people in the United States are directly dependent for their livelihood upon the railroads; That the savings of every savings bank de positor or holder of a life insurance policy are invested to a substantial extent in railroad bonds; That four billion dollars of such bonds are owned by savings banks and insurance com panies; / That railroads purchase annually six billion dollars worth of goods produced by our in dustries and farmers; That, in addition to the foregoing, the rail roads perform an indispensable service to the nation day and night. These few little facts would indicate that the people are interested in railroads and that in a large measure their very prosperity de pends upon them. What does a 15 per centr freight rate in crease mean to the average industry or the av erage family in dollars and cents compared to the loss, inconvenience, and virtual disaster, that would face this country as the result of a broken-down, crippled and bankrupt rail road system? One has but to remember the car shortages during the wartime and the inability of the roads to correct the situation because of cir cumstances beyond their control, to realize the incalculable sums which industry loses due to inadequate railroad service. Only public co-operation at this time, in considering and remedying the problems of the railroads, will prevent a transportation crisis. HIGH RESOLVE It is not the critic who counts; nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotions, spends him self in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, at least falls while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. —Theodore Roosevelt. DREAMS We gr<W by dreams. All big men w-- v.i. ^ spring day or in the red fire of a long winter’s evening. Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them, nurse them through bad days till they bring them to sunshine and light which come always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true. —Woodrow Wilson. SUCCESS IN LIFE If you succeed in life, you must do it in spite of the efforts of others to pull you down. There is nothing in the idea that people are willing to help those who help themselves. People are willing to help a man who can’t help himself, but as soon as a man is able to help himself, and does it, they join in making his life as uncomfortable as possible. >—E. W. Howe. KNOWLEDGE He who knows -and knows that he knows Is wise; follow him. ASLEEP He who knows and knows not that he knows Is asleep; wake him. VACUUM He who knows and knows not that he knows Is a fool; shun him. —Elbert Hubbard. Business, it seems, is on the up-grade. That’s one that requires the hardest pull.—Dallas News. Vice-President Arthur was the fourth man to become President of the United States by the death of the elected President. Peter Cartwright, the famous Methodist circuit rider, once defeated Abraham Lincoln for the legislature of Illinois. | • - Thomas Paine said the reason he wrote I "Common Sense” was to inflame the continent with his own spirit.

Hill, President, The American Tobacco Company, 111 Fifth Avenue, New York City. ^ Dear Sir: Your communication addressed to the editor of The Carolina Watchman has been turned over to me for a re ply. It is encouraging to note you desire the farmer to get good prices for his tobacco. Attached to the letter to The Caro lina Watchman is one addressed to all buyers for The American Tobacco Company. Permit me to quote several paragraphs therefrom: There are two fundamentals that no business man, whether he be merchant, buyer or farmer, can overlook, and these fundamentals govern all com modities: (1) The quality of a product is the governing factor in the price that any product brings, and with tobacco, those markets that produce first-class quality will get a good price for their product, while, by comparison, those markets whose quality is inferior, will get a poorer price. (2) If the demand is greater than the supply, the prices will rise, and if the supply is greater than the demand, the prices are bound to fall and no hndv can stnn it We cannot govern the amount of tobacco the farmers grow nor can we improve its quality. Unsatisfactory prices from the farmers’ standpoint, due either to overproduction, poor quality, or inadequate demand—espe cially inadequate export demand—are the result of conditions over which this company has no control. The above is economically sound. This is acknowledged by the tobacco growers. The main question that seems to arouse the ire of the tobacco grow er is not that of quality, supply and demand but that of competitive bid ding. And until this question is satis factorily settled, there will be little harmony between the buyers and the growers of tobacco. \ Governor Matthew Rowan. Ajarolina Motor Laud, ^ Greensboro, N.

"Will you please tell me,” said a (member to the teacher, "how far in .actual miles Dan is from Beersheba? All my life I have heard the familiar phrase 'from Dan to Beersheba,’ but I have never known the distance.” Before the answer could be given another member arose in the back of the room, and inquired: "Do I understand that Dan and Beersheba are the names of places?” "Yes.” "That is one on me. I always thought they were husband and wife, like Sodom and Gomorrah.”—The Churchman. Let your next Battery be a UNIT ED.—Adv. COMMENTS Please be brief. As a rule 200 words should be enough.
