Oppo- ltion cannot stop their onward march, but they may retard them Too often the church has been so conservative that it has failed to support causes which wereN truly righteous and beneficial to humani ty. However, more often the fail ure of the church has . been due Jo misunderstanding rather than inten tion. A modern truth is that the man who produces deserves a great er share of production. As an indi cation that the church, or at least a section of churchmen-can no longer be said to have an intereset in eco nomic justice, we quote the following from the statement of a church lea gue or social and industrial democ racy, which has been organized with in the Episcopal church and of which Rt. Rev. Charles D. Williams of Mich igan, is acting president: "We face a world in revolution Some regret the fact: some thank God for it. Regret and gratitude are in a sense equally irrevelant; the church is called to act, and the contemporary situation furnishes her with a challenge and an opportunity unsurpassed since Pentecost "Her right lm of action; m the opinion 6f the church league for so cial and industrial democracy, is in dicnted in the following statement: "The purpose of the organization is to unite for intercession and la: bor, those who believe that it is an essential part of the church's tun ctions to make .justice and love the ront.rolinor motives in all social AR GERMAN AMY E REPORTED AS READY By the Associated Press.

Immediately after their expulsion from the convention hall, left wing supporters, led by John Reed of New York, held a meeting to decide on the course of action. Reporters were not allowed in this meeting or in the main convention, where the creden tials were being examined.

Gompers, who returned from Etiropijlt's week rather unexpectedly, discussed the disturbed labor situation over ''.: the country with President Wilson yes- terday at the white house. No announcement was made on behalf of the president and Mr. Gom pers and the union officials who ac companied him, including represen tatives of the steel workers, ' stead fastly refused to discuss what had transpired. It is known, however, that the president was asked to intervene in the dispute between the. steel work ers and -the United States Steel cor poration over wages, working condit ions and the right of collective bar gaining. -v" Before going to, the white house the committee of steel workers made bublic a telegram to the council , at Gary, Ind., m which they charged 'that the steel corporation was dis charging union men at a number of its plants in an effort to force the strike issue before the' president could act.

'' With Miss Moretz Miss Elizabeth Moretz entertained number of her friends at her home in Forest Park Friday evening. Music Springfield Republican Speaker Gillette Was very unfortu- ate in his caution to the veteran blind chaplain of the house against introducing politics into prayers. Chaplain Couden's explanation that he prayed for "a league of nations such "as might spring from the hearts of men"- and not necessarily for "the" league of nations now in debate by the senate, indicates that the speaker might better have ignor ed the matter. Nothing has been gained; the only result, has been to wound the feelings of the aged chap lain, blinded in the civil war, by a reproof the like of which, however mild, he has never experienced in his long career, while .theatrical Mr. fleflin of Alabama is given an oppor tunitv to be irritating and vexat ious. Such an incident is "nuts" to Mr. Heflin. who, with more real in terest in causing trouble for Mr, Gillette than in defending the chap lain, will make the most of it. There has been more than one oc casion durnig times of, controversy at the capital When some humorist or mischief-maker has conceived the possibility that a prayer uttered by the chaplain of the house or sen ate might be twisted-into a partisan Several days ago the -names of the high school teachers were published together, with a brief statement con cerning the training and experience of each. For the benefit of any who may be interested and did not see the previous list it will again be in serted. Also the names of the en tire teaching force for the grammar schools will be added. There has never been known such a scarcity of school teachers as that which prevails at the present time. It is felt that Hickory has been ex ceedingly lucky in retaining a facul ty who considering experience and training should be one of the very best. . High School ' J. D. Samuels, principal.
