Friday, August 26. 1921 The Textile Workers Union has now struck out. Congress is about to take a month's rest. From what? The Russian Red is evidently not guaranteed not to fade. Soviet hunger after the flesh pots of capitalism is growing ir resistible. It looks like this Disarmament Conference has been called too late to avert the battle betw een i Josephus and Cam. With the repeal of the law against home brewing there will probably be few with the heart to continue the pastime. If Col. Watts gets away with his rebate of $127,000.00 to the Tobacco Trusts and the Wattsian hide as well, he'll be a strategist of the first rank. Postmaster General Hays is desirous of honest criticism of the Postoffice Department. Boy, page Mr. Burleson, he has abso lutely cornered the market. Twelve Maine men pay $2:300.00 for seven barrels of water-newspaper item. This price approaches the nonnlar nnntatinn on the I rrmnHitv in a nla,e Heeidprtlv !

They tried to overcome an econ omic fact, to do away with the law of sup'ilv and demand, and they have faiitd. It was inevit able from the start .lust as surely as the price of textile goods :s inexorably gov erned by the operation of supply and demand so surely is the price of textile labor lixed. Neither mill management nor mill labor can fix the price of their products and it is to be regretted that so many of the textile workers had to learn this in the dear school of experience. We venture to predict that it will take a smoother tongue than common for the next labor agita tor to lure these people from their jobs. That the mill people of this! community have held their com monsense ana have accepted wage cuts ttiat were inevitable is a matter of congratulation and good fortune for themselves and 1 their families and the community as a whole. State Agencies That Rank With The Best Dr. Hart, of the Russell Sage Foundation, tells Commissioner of Public Welfare Johnson that for North Carolina to fail in her public welfare work would be a i national calamity, on account of j the influence we have had on the development or such work in other states, t is a tremendous compliment, an amazing compli ment. The most dhiieult and in tendont of public instruction gifted with energy, determina tion and rarest of all a perfect- on ly desperate courage, poiitieaih. j Prooks has boldly attacked the ; problem of certification of teach. ers. and. reg trd'ess of the yells of the incompetent and the tim orous, has brought si.me sort of order out of chaos. He has like wise put through a standardisa tion of teachers' salaries that grows more ama:'.ing in retro spect. Appearances indicate that if he is given half-way decent support he will vet raie the teaching profesMon in this state j to a level comparable t -ade of a bricknvioii. with umber. Therefore, whil law enforcement movement in your city, back to the Ham meet ing without a single break. Futhormore the influences for good that were let loose in that tent meeting has not been con fined to Roanoke Rapids alone but lias spread out into a num ber 01 neighboring states. The unregenerated man is al ways blind, bat to the initiated it is very easy to understand why you were so quick to grab the Greensboro editorial and swallow it hook. line, sinker and all.

It would be a "talking point" if we had est lienartment of of Goldsboro after the Ham Re vival: he witnessed for Jesus the Christ for fourty five minnits, with his heart full of love to wards God and his fellow man. We of Oxford prefer to beleive this deciple of our Lord, rather than the news paper story. Our Brother .John W. Ham has noth- the strong- j mg but love in nis neart ior every lanking. or individual in Roanoke Rapids, he the het organized state pokce. or the most active state board of trade; but it seems tons a great er thing to excl in what mav be termed the modern humanities.

NOT OUR HAM There appears on this page a communication from a subscriber who calls our attention to the act that the Preacher Ham at goldsboro, is not the same re vivalist who conducted the big tent revival at Roanoke Rapids sonvfyears ago.

But down here we must necessarily depend upon the state, for we have no cities comparable with those of the urban states. And ; we may certainly take pride in the fact that, in our class, our agencies ar') unquestionably the best. Furthermore, we have another department that is rapidly fight ing its way to the front. That is the state department of edu cation. It still has a long way to go before it can be classed as among the best in the Union, even among the rural states, first, because other states have been engaged in the development of public education for genera tions, whereas both public health and public welfare are compar atively recent developments of governmental polity; and, second, because education is, and has always been, expensive, and North Carolina's wealth is of re cent acquisition.

It is universally agreed among the thinking pup lie of Oxford and Granville Co. that our Ham Meeting was the greatest and best that this community has ever experienced and that more good has been ac- omplished than in any other like movement here. There is no bitterness nor strife here, every pastor in Oxford except one was opposed to this meeting before it started, but every one of them was fully converted in four days In regard to "methods and tac tics" let me quote, "There are ten blind tigers operating in Ox ford now, I can step out into this street throw a stone and hit two of -them, they are run by respect able business men, any officer with on : eye and half sense could see these things if he were on the job. ""There is areguler or ganization of the gambling fra- ternaty in Oxford, they are op erating every night in one of the princapal business blocks, on the princapal street of the city, but your officers are blind as a bat and cannot see. There is a blockade still out here just be yond the city limmits, many of you know exactly where it is but your officers cannot locate it."
