It is placing it mildly to say th.

On every hand it Is threatened by
coal s'rikes. railroad strikes, and
every other kind of strike known to
the human race. It's patience is he

two j;reat factors o:' wealth do not
soon establish more amicable rela

both of ihetn down to something
neither one will like. That is a Fed
eral mediation board for each state
with unlimited power to enforce its
decisions. Capital would be forced
to accede to a decision through fear
of being blacklisted, and labor, if i
should become recalci'rant. nil.-'

The inline spirit of the mediation
board would be to protect the public;
see that no railtoad strikes should
tie-up the wheels of protrress; that
no coal strikes should occur, endan
gering the l:ts of thousands; and by
all means to be certain that no de

Qunrteily Meeting of IlaptiNt W.M.l'.
(Written for The Journal.)
The Qttaiterly meeting of the Bap
tist W. -M. L'. met with the church at
Corinth on Wednesday, the 22nd of
Oct. The spirit of the meeting was
ood and almost the whole day was
given to the study and discussion of
the 75 Million Campaign. The pastor
of the church being present, the
church and V. M. S. were organized
lor the campaign, all being enthusi
astic with each phase of the work.
They will easily "go over the top."
The women are expected to play a
very important part. They are very
badly needed and the belief was ex
pressed that they could be depended
on to do their best In this great move
ment. As Oc'ober is put down on our cam
caicn calendar as enlistment month,
this work was emphasized and our
women were asked to enlist all the
women In the churches. It was urg
ed that a call to prayer be made, es
pecially sunrise prayer mee'ing on
the morning of Nov. 30. One lady
said she had attended only two sun
rise prayer meetings In her life, and
these were answered. The one for
prohibition and the othr for the vic
tory of the allies during the recent
war, and ns we are in the blgees
campaign religious ever put on In the
history of the South, it would be fit
ting to have the sunrise prayer meet
ing. The laldes of the church served a
bountiful dinner on the grounds.

The Presidents 'oiililloii.
(Greensboro News.l
Of all the residents of the United
States, Abraham Lincoln alone un
derwent a mental and physical strain
comparable to tht to which Mr.
Wilson has been subjected. Lincoln
was famed for his rugged physical
strength, and lie came to the su
preme test comparatively fresh.
Wilson was never a physical giant,
and he had been worn down by four
years of cumulative anxiety before
the unimaginable burden of a tre
mendous foreign war was thrust up
on him; again, with victory Lincoln's
burden was immediately lessened,
whereas with victory Wilson's be
came greater than before. Had Lin
coln escaped Booth's revolver, the
terrific effort of making peace might
have crippled even him as effectually
as it has crippled his successor.
To us, the marvel is not that the
President has collapsed, but that he
lasted so long. And by the same
token, we are surprised, not at the
slowness of his recovery, but by th'
fact that he does seem to be recover
ing Of course, he has always lived
a sane and wholesome life, never for
getting in the heaviest press of of
ficial business the absolute necessity
of fresh air and exercise; but even,
so, the most powerful human brain
and nervous system are capable of
only so much effort. Mr. Wilson's
have been driven at a speed Inconsis
tent with safety for a long time. His
unfortunate Inability to work with
other men of the first order of genius
has placed upon hinmelf a burden too
great for one man to beaj; and he
is now paying the penalty of that
Mr. Wilson Is doing better than
the Daily News hoped for; but we
see as yet no reason for altering our
prediction that he is out of it ex
cept, perhaps, for a little purely rou
tine work for a long time to come.

Who Trade Horses or Sell Sewlnjj

"I have always been afraid of a
preacher who trades horses or sells
sewing machines," declared Bishop
I". V. W. Darlington Thursday morn
ing to the Western North Carolina
Conference of the Methodist church,
now in session at Greensboro.
Basing his remarks in the devo
tional address of the morning upon
the Scripture account of Elisha and
Gehazl, and the fall of the latter, as
the result of his love of money and
apparel, as evidenced in his follow
ing Naanian, ,the Syrian, and request
ing the same in the name of Klisha,
his master, but without the knowl
edge of Elisha,. Bishop Darlington
made an able plea for preachers not
to become entangled with commercial
Interests, which Interests belong to
the things of the world. In this con
nection he pointed out the danger
which any preacher who becomes thus
entangled, the danger to his own
spiritual life and the danger of his
loss of influence over other men.
"Don't go to the world," said Bish
op Darlington, "and use the church
as a cloak of Introduction to a man
of the world In a commercial trans
action. The man of the world has
nothing but the world and a preacher
should not deal with him under the
cloak of the church.
"My advice to a preacher Is that If
vnn r'm't fceen from gettlnK tangled
up with commercial affairs, cut loose
from the church'. If you continue this
entanglement In the church, the time
will come, as sure as your name Is
what It is, when your name will come
upln the cabinet for an appointment
and the bishop will be told by the
presiding elder: 'We can't send that
man there, or there, on account of
some commercial dealings he had
with men In those places.' God has
committed to you, as preacher of the
Gospel, the holiest of all callings In
the world, and I beg you to give your
undivided time to the work of this
calling and not to become entangled
with the things of the world."
