Governor Bickett spoke to the peo ple of the little mill village of Lan dis Saturday afternoon and gave good advice to the mill operatives. He went to Landfs to endeavor to adjust strike troubles there, and found that conditions were bad. The operatives had struck because the mill owners refused to reinstate a man and wo man who had been discharged. Becoming convinced that the oper atives were wrong in striking, Gov- ernor Beckett called a mass meeting Of the' citizens and did some straight talking containing excellent advice, id 'which was laid down the inalien able right of a man to work, free from annoyance of any kind. Aid th Govern&f v assured - the strikers that; lie would use the -utmost power of the state, if necessary, to protect operatives who wished to work. 1 The practice of "picketing" should be declared unlawful, and the special session of 'the Legislature called to meet in, August should past an net to that effect. , It is a travesty on justice and- freedom, that individuals or or ganizafibns should Te allowed to use any 'means . wKatsdever-i-'pfcketing? $r ivliafl'rio?tii lit oder tot prevent oth er individuals from engaging in work whereby they mar support themsely? es. and families.-f ' -?-s - ; ' :i The main issue in the work prob lem wag well put by 'Governoi Bick- ett 'to the Landis Workers in. the fol lowing:, . , r ".

Every employer has the right to hire whom he wants to. hire, and fire whom he Wants to Are,, And nobody has the -tight to tdolest him. You can-, not force a man to work against . his will, and you' cannot force a ' man to idleness against his will." ; There; is no reaBod why organized labor should be allowed the privilege of coercion in order to carry out their purposes "any more, than'; organized capital, but organized labor does use coercion, la nearly every Btrike. Let the evil be stopped and conditions will improve.' ? SINGLE-TAXERS KEEP fOOR COMPANY What purports to have been the keynote of the discordant pack of lame, halt and blind1 gathered togeth er at Chicago to form a-thir, Party was struck by John I'itzpatric when he announced that the "day will come; when the working people of this conniryJwillf get together And do such a job as the workers of Russia hate done.

ONE QUESTION - , RESERVED FOB WOMEN ; The Women's Christian Temper aftce Union in its recent decision t launch a drive against the 'cOstnfetic evil' is getting into territory where its many male admirers will hesitate to follow out. How evil the cosmetic evil is few mere men would dare at tempt to say, notwithstanding the in feef eht mascttrihe distaste for painted lips and cheeks. ." The fact of the matter is that cos metics have been wisely left to the women. So in the Nation-wide cam palgn that is forecast the Women Christian Temperance Unioh ' mlSht work among ' women, ' by and with women.

He plucks away at the classics and the modern jazz, fur nishing nothing more musical than caterwauls by night. But he always gets his shower of small coins. He told me his story the other day. He once played in an orchestra when Jenny Lind sang. But drink got him and he became a veritable modern minstrel. Somewhere he left a wife and four children.

Edward Hale, age 12, of Fayette- ville, N. C, knows that there is a true world-wide brotherhood of man and today he received as a priceless heritage a true outpouring of man's generosity. Young Hale is the proud possesor of a check for $150.00 and more money is Coming into the fund as a result of a benefit given for him by the: American Industries Quarter, in the lobby of Robert E. Lee Hall, at the Young Men's" Christian Asso ciation Summer School here. . Reads Like Fairy Tale . The story which leads to? the ben- j efit reads more like a tale from gift-, ed fairy lips than the record of mod- era man. Here it is: I Young -Hale with a number of j other, youngsters were sent to Blue Ridge by. John A. Park, owner of the Park-publications, as a result of ef-! ficient work done by him as a car rier of the paper. He came, saw, and enjoyed. But the same spirit which resulted in his being sent here re sulted in the accident which led to good fortune. ' . In company, with other boys he was jumping the "horse" in the gymna sium. Not to be. outdone by his laTger companions he tried the jump when it was too high1 lor him, fell, and broke both bones in his left arm. Helps Mother But. this' boy did not. cry out in pain.i Instead' he thought first of mother.
