My Y.'. i ” ugi ■ SHOWING THE VISCOUNT IN TRUE LIGHT. ( ’ * '• ! Viscount Birkenhead, who is United States making a series ( pf speech- - es, start ed off rather badly when, in his 1 address, he criticised the efforts of | Wopdrow Wilson to bring about world : peace. Wide publicity was naturally giv- j tu to the'-Viscount's address, and the re- j action has been ] In the United* States there has been i severe censure,of the Englishman sos his efforts to place the efforts of Mr. Wil- j son in the wrong light. A request has ; been made that the. Viscount either he i told that he cannot deliver his scheduled j address before the bankers convention or i that he cannot use his address to make | further statements of criticism against i loyal Americans. And in London, the home of the Vis count. he is more severely criticised than in the United States." It seems that in England he is really known, and for that reason the press there deals with him j openly and harshly. The London papers ( carried the following editorials in re- ( gard to the Viscount's address: The Morning Post asserts that “the effect of Birkenhead's injudicial remark is to confirm the isolationists in the wis dom of their policy of turning their backs on Europe.” In an editorial headed “I/Eufant Terri ble Abroad,” the Daily News says that the British do not like the American tariff laws, but would welcome au almost prohibitive tariff on the importation of former menfbers of the British cabinets, and rigid customs examinations of the ; contents of their lecture tour portfolios.” The Westminster .Gazette hopes that , undue importance will not be attached to “Birkenhead’s words, asserting that there are few politicians in Great Britain to day who now speak so exclusively for themselves as does Birkenhead. The Westminster Gazette points out the unfairness of arguing that Woodrow Wilson is the agent of post-war condi tions. .The Daily Herald, the labor newspa per, offers an apology- for the ex-chancel lor. saying “he has long been regarded as a national nuisance ab(L has now be come an international danger.” _• . There are many people, of course, who did not agree with Woodrow Wilson in all of his policies, but there are few peo ple who hold the same view of Viscount Birkenhead —that Mr. Wilson was not really seeking world peace. Such ut terances are not called for. especially from a man living in England, and the edi torial suggestion of The Daily News, a prohibitive tariff be placed on the importation of former members of British cabinets who would visit the United States, seems a good one. THE PRESIDENT’S WAY. Various organizations, blocs and indi viduals have been hounding President Coolidge about an extra session of Con gress. Most of the influence brought to bear in the matter has dealt with the plight of the farmer, who is said to be in very bad shape. The President has heard the pleas and reasons of the advo cates of the extra session, but Tie has caused it to be known that lie does not regard as “expedient” Congressional ac tion designed to help the wheat farmers away from the pieseut low prices. And isn't he right? What could Con gress do that would really settle the question? Congress might pass laws that would relieve the present .strain the- farm ers are feeling, but would that be "ex pedient?” What - the farmers need is some lasting remedy, some law that would make impossible a recurrence of present conditions, and Mr. Coolidge feels that an extra sehrion of Congress would not bring such law*. His determined Mand in this matter is not going to prove popular with' those politician* *«ho believe acting always to get votes. The Now York World feels that the President's statement is a “creditable one” coming just at this, time. The Wprld thinks Mr. Coolidge; spoke only the truth, saying “it states' only the truth and what everybody pos sessed of any economic intelligence knows to be the truth, but no virtue is rarer iu politics than the courage to tell the truth at times when the truth is most unpleasant to largo numbers of voters.” The efforts to get the extra session. The World points out furthe** are “schemes”, the paper points out that “schemes of Congressional action to help the wheat growers are all of a temporary character and are calculated to make the remedy worse than the disease.” The determination of President Cool idge not,to cater to the wheat farmers .may cost him some votes from the wheat belt, but it will get him votes from other parts of the country. It is not always the case that the President, and especial lya President who is certain to run again, will be firm enough to express his real sentinjents, regardless of general favor. THERE CANNOT BE A STRIKE. Governor Pine-hot, acting as a govern ment mediator to avert the threatened anthracite strike, in his first conference with the miners and operators, indicates that the Federal government is ready to take drastic action to avert the strike. In his prepared speech which was read at the first conference with the leaedrs on both sides. Mr. Pinchot is report ed to have told them bluntly that the strike must not be called. That should bring results. So far as the public generally has been able to learn, there is no just reason why the miners and operators cannot agree, and the Federal government would be within its rights to do anything to keep the miners at work. And there will be no strike if the min ers and the government will act to pre vent it. The utterances of Governor Pinchot indicate that such action will be taken, and there is every reason to be lieve that his businesslike methods in dealing with the question will bring re sults. The scales committee of the min ers. holding the right to withdraw the strike order, has been meeting in Harris burg at the same time the miners' com mittee met with, the Governor. This seemfc tq indicate that the miners real ize they may have, to change their minds iu regard to the Strike” and they want to be ready to call off the strike at a min ute's notice. jj The public will not put up with strikes as willingly as it once did. In this in stance neither the miners nor the oper ators have phowji where the strike is necessary, and the government will have ] the full support of the people in any ac- ' tion it takes to keep the mines in opera- tion. GERMANY MUST PAY. The latest efforts of Great Britain to find a solution of the Ruhr situation have failed. The efforts failed because the British proposal seemed too friendly to hte Germans to suit France and Bel gium. The French and Belgians are in the Ruhr and they seem determined to make , the Germans- pay. France issued a reply to the British note soon after it was de livered to her, and in her reply she sttick to her formal proposals—that Ger many must show good faith and pay what she owes before the French will move from the Ruhr. Aud now comes Belgium with a reply in full accord with the one from France. The Belgians, their note states, are not willing to accept promises from Germany. They must have the ac tual goods or they will stay in the Ruhr. There is great variety of thought as regards Germany's ability to pay. Many experts who have been in that country recently think Germany cannot pay all that is demanded of her. Others who are also experts,'think-she can pay. That’s the difference. And in addition to that, the French and Belgians want Germany to change her tactics of passiveresist anc-e. Germany may not have money., Frenchmen and Belgians are willing to argue, hut she can at least show a bet ter spirit. FraucC and Belgium have suffered dearly at the hands of the Germans, and the people of those countries cannot be expected to .give up without seeing Ger many make at least au honest effort to pay. And we wonder if Americans would not feel much the snmd if they had seen their lands wrecked, their crops destroy ed, their factories demolished and their women disgraced by an enemy. * THE RIGHT SPIRIT. Strangers in Morgantown. West Vir ginia, complained much because they were arrested for traffic violations of which they were ignorant. They did not know the parking ordinances aud many of them were arrested for their first of fense. They made much complaint, sent their complaints broadcast; and were giving Morgantown a black eye. So the Chamber of Commerce of that city hit upon a plan that shows a true spirit of hospitality, and at the same time does not let the bars down too far. “Wel come to Our City” reads a tag the Mor gantown police now tie to autos which are parked wrong or which stay to long in one place. This is what the first tag, a green one, says,.but if the offense is per j sistent a red tag that summons the mo ■ | torist to police headquarters is used. The green tag. in addition welcom ing the motorist to Morgantown, says: ’ "The citizens of Morgantown, through' 1 its chamber of commerce, bid you wel-. : come to our city. : "If we can render auy service or in t anjr way make your visit with us more pleasure, kindly call at the headquarters of oyr commercial organization. "By the way. you have violated one of \ our city traffic ordinances and we sug ? gest that you call at the chamber of com merce and secure a copy of our traffic regulations.” The above regulations constitute the most sensible and courteous proceedings we have ever read after, dealing with traffic regulations, Morgantown is making friends for it-; self by treating strangers as if they werej human beings. i There are some in this State that could learn a lesson from the action of the Morgantown Chamber of Com merce and police. This is especially true in resort towus, where hundreds of mo torists drive each year, and where there are no signs erected giving the parking laws. It is not right or just to arrest a man for his first parking offense in a town where he is not familiar with the law. If the city has parking laws, the, laws should he published on signs hurt J put up throughout the city, and especial ly in that part of the city where most of the parking is done. WILL SHOW ITS EFFECTS. Governor Cameron Morrison and State Treasurer Ben Lacy have gone to New York to sell $5,000,000 worth of North Carolina bonds. The money will he used on extensions and improvements at several of thq State institutions. The outcome of the visit of the North Carolina officers to the money market of New- Y'ork will be watched with keen in terest. Heretofore the officers have been able to dispose of the State's bonds with out much trouble, but this time a differ ent story may bh told. This is the first time bonds of the State have been offered since the “deficit” wrangle started sev eral months ago, and just how the chang es of the $5,000,000 deficit will affect the money market will he shown in the bids offered for the bonds. The charges of Mr. Maxwell are cer tain to have some effect on the State’s financial standing. Most of the people in the State, we believe, realize that North Carolina is not in a bad way financially, but will the money handlers of New York City think the same way. That’s the quest 10m Hundreds of young people in North Carolfna are now preparing for their col lege work. The schools and college swill be in full operation within another month, and many of them are preparing to care for the largest number of students in their 1 history. This is especially true of some of the larger State institutions. The University, State aud Normal are pre paring to house record crowds, and in the same proportion to their size, the smaller State schools are making plans. Denominational schools of the State also are expecting another prosperous year, and every school in the probably will show an increase in students over last year's enrollments. STORY THAT MINISTER ’ PIERCE MADE THREATS Hinted at R. O. Garrett's “Leaving” As “Corpse.”—He Knew of Ambush? Cumberland Courthouse, Yu.. A tig. 21). —Testimony that Rev- E. S. Pierce had stated hist April that R. O- Gar rett. count clerk, would “leave Cum berland pretty soon as a corpse.” and that on a previous occasion lie had de clared there "would have to he another Hillsville affair in Cumberland to elean tilings up.” was given by the defense witnessed today in the trial of R. Q. Garrett for the alleged murder of the Baptist minister last .Tune 5. These statements with testimony de signed to show that the minister ap ixeared to have some knowledge of the shooting of Allen M. Chandler from ambush last May 3. together with the appearance on the stand of Larkin (.. Garrett, jointly indicted with his broth er for the Pierce killing, were the high spots of the third day of the trial, most of which was given over to defense wit nesses. Special emphasis was laid on the testimony concerning the minister's con nection with the Chandler shooting as it is the defense claim that that affair led directly to the fight in which Rev. Mr. Pierce "was shot to death a month later. SUICIDE STILL ALIVE ACCORDING TO REPORT i Susie Hardy, 13. of East Fayetteville. .Apparently Left Cake Note on River Bank.

THE TIMES Concord, N. C. SKINNER’S REVERSAL. Co-Operative Opposition the Occasion For Reminiscence. To the Editor of The Observer: I se that my good friend. Col. Harry Skinner. of Greenville, N. C.. is prominent in the fight against the co operative marketing of tobacco in east ern Carolina, all of which carries me back to an afternoon spent in the law office of ex-Governor Thos. ,T. Jarvis in Qje autumn of 1889. On that memorable occasion some one related how some man from Forsyth county had bought a big cotton farm near Greenville, and announced his purpose to raise tAbaeco. I well remember that our big-brained ex-governor shook his sides in merriment over the jests and quips that were quot ed at the expense of the poor booh, who was fool enough to think he could raise tobacco in Pitt county. Twenty years later T chanced to pick up a paper, and read of the sales of tobacco at the Green ville tobacco warehouse—all of which shows the unwisdom of 'diculing new things. * Another intei'Csting reminiscence • of that trip to Greenville. Col. Harry Kkinner handed me a magazine contain ing an article which he had written upon the subject of “Government Loan on Farm Products.” After reading if I remarked that Col. L- L. Polk (then head of North Carolina nlliauce) would give several years of his life for that plan. A few years later Col. Polk suc ceeded in putting the Skinner plan be fore the, American people from ocean to ocean as the famous “Kubtreas-ury Scheme” of the National Alliance. The plan met with ridicule from capitalists and was denounced as a wild and irridescent dream of cranks and fanatics. But now. old Father Hime turns tine, crank and* this government has ap propriated millions in suppoi-t of this movement; in behalf of the cotton and tobacco fanners, and nobody Is heard to ridicule «ind denounce this "Kubtrcasury Scheme.'* Col. Kkinner seems to me to have forsaken the child of his brain, but he never gave a better thought to the world. ' MORRISON CALDWELL. Forty-Two Years Without a Shut Down or Labor Dispute. Manufacturers Record. More than forty-two years of success ful operation, during which there has never been any labor trouble, is one of the outstanding facts in the history of the Pelzer Manufacturing Company, of South Carolina. That speaks highly for the management and highly for the in telligence of the employes, but Die spirit which has been back of the management and highly for the intelligence of_the employes, but. the spirit which has been back of the management in this remark abl achiee achievement is indicated in one of the statements made by President Ellison A. Smythe in a letter to the stock holders of the Pelzer Manufacturing Company regarding the proposed sale of stock of that company. Mr. Smythe pays high tribute to the directors and to the loyal help and assistance given to him by the officers of the .company and the whole corps of employes and then he adds this remarkable statement, worthy to be studied by every manufacturer in this country : “There are no better people, taken as a whole, in the world than the employes of the Pelzer Manufacturing Company. During the forty odd years the Pelzer Mills have been in operation there has never been any running on short time or curtailment of operation due t<f the de pressed condition of the goods market, or the necessity of piling up goods in ware houses waiting for a markets The ob ligation has been held that having invit ed people to move to the Pelzer village, employment should be given, regardless of whether the continued operation of the mills was to the best interest of the corporation or not. This fact has been appreciated by our employes and no labor troubles have ever occurred at l’el zer.” Beginning in 1880 with a capital of 400.000. over-subscribed by Charleston people, the Pelzer Company increased its capital in 1888 to $600,000 and in 1899 to $1,000,000, the last increase of $400,000 being placed by the stockhold ers at $125 pYr share, making a total investment on tpe part of the stockhold ers of $1,100,000.
