A Gentleman bfthe Old Schdol. '
In the death of" CapL panels Nash Waddell
the state loses another of those disappearing fig
ures that linked the old south to the new. In Ills
character were the chivalry, dignity and courtesy
which the world recognized as the distinctive at
tributes of the southern gentleman of ante-bellum
days. Of lighting blood, yet quiet and 'unassum
ing, free from malice and slow to think evil of
others, bold In his defense of convictions. Captain
Waddell was a gallant southern soldier, a loyal
friend and a cltlsen who placed the publlo good
. above private Interest, '
. These men of the south, who for four years
kept aloft the Stars and Bars of the Confederacy
in conflict whose odds would have daunted
spirits of less heroio mould, will soon , be known
no more in the flesh. At each reunion the gray
linos show fresh gaps; the steps of the warriors
who won the Admiration of the world show less
of military precision.. But they leave behind them
a heritage of courage and devotion to duty that Is
an inspiration to the new generation as it grapples !
with new problems in war and in these present
troublous days of reconstruction. The martial spirit
of Bull Run And Gettysburg, a spirit that went down
only before a larger conception ol democracy,
breaks through the ranks of autocracy on the Hln-
denburg line.' The stalwart Americanism that oi

'Th predominant "Rights of the Public. v
" JVhether-or not It to expedient to enact federal
law prohibiting strikes or lockouts In vital Indus
tries, It" Is certain. thaMilstory now being written in
the industrial conflict Is making advocates of anti
strike laws among the great masse of those -who
sufTer from resort to. force by employe "or.employer.
A steel strike does not cause the publlo to feel the
pinch of starvgtion, nor make whole cities shiver
with cold, although It Is recognized that all strikes
or lockouts reduce production and pile up bills
which the publlo must pay. But the strike In the
soft coal mines' Is giving the people enforced, study
In the right Of either labor or capital to coerce tne
public In enforcing their demands against 'each
nthei. - ' '
Labor insists that the'strlke Is its only defonse
against Involuntary servitude. Capital claims the
right equally, as equitable, to Shut the factory
doors on workers when it does not choose or is
unable to grant Its terms. - . .
But the government and the publlo would not
allow railroad managers or ooal operators to sua
pend operations In a dispute with labor, and the
publlo wilt some day ask why the workers are
allowed to tie up Industries essential to the health
and welfare of all the people. ' ! -
In his message to congress President Wilson
laid down this principle on the right to strike:
"The right of Individuals to strike Is inviolate, but
there to a predominant right of . the government
to protect all of Its people against a class of
people. ..'- , ' '
Individuals have a clear right to quit work, and
yet the law of contracts may be invoked to enforce
the performance of agreement or to secure dam
ages for non-fulfillment of contract. And when
workers or owners organize to stop work in such
ah Industry as' coal mining the rights of the public
become of more consequence than the wages of
labor pr the proflta of capital;
Labor has served Its cause badly by arguing
against anti-strike laws before congressional com.
mittees and at the same time carrying out a strike
that restores In the entire country the conditions
of war. . And it the government succeeds in prov
ing Its allegations that In this unlawful strike the
miners are abetted by operators, the situation is
only another agreement to convince the people
that through governmental action all Industry
must be brought under more drastic regulation by
law, . , , .
THE HOLLAND LETTER.
' It Is a somewhat startling statement attributed to
the head of the department of mines. Mr. Manning,
In which be is reported to have said that the max
imum Droductlon of oil in the United States will
have been reached by the year 1022. Mr. Manning
goes farther than this, feeling Justified In reporting
tnat tne maximum world-production oi on wm oe
reached within the neat ten years. v ;
If ha la xmrrsct in thasa forecasts then a Very
serious situation will confront world Industries. For
it Is now recognized that upon the use of oil In its
various renned ana perfected forma no smaii pan
of the industrial development of the civilised world
now depends. Other experts have reported that the
life of American oil a,t the present rate of produc
tion and consumption will end In about sixteen
years. I Dr. E. O. Acheson who has made careful
study Of the oil industry in all its featurea, is per
suaded that unless there be very large new fields of
oil discovered and exploited our American oil will
have been exhausted within sixteen years. ,
: There ran be no doubt that the leaders in the oil
industry are somewhat apprehensive lest there
come within a few years so great a reduction in the
production of oil as seriously to Impair the indus
try. They are therefore jiow doing what the leaders
in the copper industry are undertaking, v The cop
per experts are searching the world over so that
they mav discover new veins or beds of copper
wherewith to replenish the' supply of the United
States, The demand for copper is to be enormous,
and would in fact be now of almost astounding pro
portions were it not for the foreign exchange sit
uation. It is for this reason alone that, according
to the best authorities, not a pound of copper ia at
this time Doing exported rxom the united mates.
Were foreign exchange conditions normal millions
of pounds would be exported within the next twelve
months.
. . Searching For Ore. ' '
So also the leaders in the oil Industry are causing
searches to be made in many parts of the world in
the hope that there can be discovered vast re
sources in oil which have not yet been exploited.

Few even of, those who believe in a great future
for Asbevtlle and Western North Carolina as a

will mean to this region.1' Thje west is a land of

THE SCISSORS ROUTE
THE STATE'S MAGNIFICENT ASSET.
,. (Charlotte : Observer.! '
" .The practical abandonment of passenger service
on the Mount Mitchell railroad last summer was an
Incident which should have given concern to the
entire state. This "scenic" road la a wonderful
asset to the state, and waa Just coming Into appro.
elation by the tourist world. Neither in our own
western states nor In all of Europe Is there any.
-thing In the way ot s mountain railroad that 'can
surpass tne little tig-sag line that winds its way to
A point near tne summit of the highest and grand
est mountain east of the Rockies. ' It was through
the service of this railroad that the real grandeurs
of the North Carolina mountains were opened not
alone to our own people, who had been compara
tive strangers to them, but to the tourists of the
entire country. The tide wo beginning to be
diverted our "way and through the agency of the
pioneer tourists the fame of Mount Mitchell was
belntr snread throughout the country. Tne susDen-
slon ot passenger facilities came at a time when the
tourist movement was but gaining Headway. It
operated a the dropping, of the curtain at the
beginning of a play At which 'the audience had
received the preliminary thrills. The Asheville
Cltlsen brings information of negotiations between
the management of the road and public-spirited
citlrens of that city by which permanent establish
ment of passenger service on the line may be
maintained. It is undoubtedly Ashevllle's para
mount opportunity-and one in whiohthe people
ot the state at large are interested. If there were a
state organization empowered to come to the salva
tion of the situation, we have no doubt any aid
Asheville might - be standing in heed of would be
ssviftly forthcoming, if there should Je any way
in which the various towns of North Carolina, or
the people individually, could bring about perpetu
ation of trafHo operation ot this, railroad, Asheville
would not want for assistance.
And yet it seems that utilisation of this great
asset, under existing circumstances, is to devolve
wholly upon Asheville enterprise, and the people Ot
Nortn Carolina may wen nope that tne mountain
metropolis will prove equal to tne occasion. Estab
lished operation of this mountain line would not-
only bring the matchless beauty of the North Caro
lina mountains into general appreciation by the
world, but it would serve the more material purpose
of starting a now of wraith into this section that
would establish and maintain conditions of riches
