JOHN C. BRVDON
John C. Brydon, of Somerset, Pa.,;
chairman of the Bituminous Oper
ators' Special Committee, and Al
fred M. Ogle, of Terre Haute, Indi
ana, president of the National Coal
Association, are two leaders in the
first attempt of the bituminous coal
industry to present even a partially
united front in the solution of its
problems.
“The operators suffer equally
with the public from certain funda
mental evils affecting the coal in
dustry, and share the public's desire
to solve them,” Mr. Brydon recently
said.
“On the one hand we have had
9,000 independent bituminous oper
ators, with no semblance of organi
zation. If the laws of supply and
demand were given free play the
‘cut-throat competition,’ which is the
only serious charge against us,
would harm only us. The public
would benefit, and, as a matter of
fact,-* the efficient operator would
also benefit. A

tion, however, the industry contains

The United Mine Workers of Amer

of a $15,000,000 annual war chest
through the ‘check-off’ system, com
pelling the operator to collect a tax
on labog and turn the proceeds into

hold on coal production. Before war
emergencies gave labor the excuse to
effect its present monopoly in the
coal field, there was always a steady

Counsel for the committee of
which Mr. Brydon is chairman has
filed formal charges with the United
States Coal Commission, asking
public bearings at which to prove
organized violence on the part of the
union in sup,port of destructive labor
monopoly, ruthless breaking up of
all labor relations, no matter how

sored by the United Mine Workers

THE CONCORD OSIEY tribune
MONT AMOENA SEMINARY
By J. H. C. Fisher!
Education of women no longer needs
defense or apology. It is - now \reeog
ed as fundamental. Given a truly educa
ed and trained Christian woman, the
safety of the home, the church and the
Htate is assured. In fact demonstrations
of this statement are to be found on
every hand.
It is a common thing nowadays to
find a woman the defense of her home.
the champion of the church, the purifier
of public life and the aggressor iu the
arts and sciences. She may be said to
be. in the most real sense, the teacher
of the coming generation. She must be
the mother of it, and most of the school
rooms will be filled by her. In order that
she may do this ■'great work well and
secure for herself happiness and future,
institutions. Mont Amoena among them,
especially adapted to woman's needs,
have sprung up all over our land.
The design of this institution is to
furnish, at the lowest cost, a Christian
education to the daughters of the church,
and to all who wish to take advantage
of our opportunities. She does not pur
sue this policy t<> secure patronage, but
'because it is the duty of the church to
'make education as easy to secure as pos
sible, in order that all her daughters may
be trained for useful positions in life.
Mt. Pleasant is a favorable location for
an institution of such a character, on
account of the town's being a cultured
moral and Christian community and the
cheapness of products. Many attend our
•school because they cannfit afford to pay
a large sum for education; many at
tend because they do not want to pay a
larger sum; many attend because the
school has a record for thorough dasx
jroom drill and scholarly work; while
many attend because the location offers
(attractions and inducements which can
to ot be found in a city with the costly
and fashionable demands.
The work of tluvMont Amoena semi
nary is under ( tlm.supcrvision of the
hoard of trustees In whom the evangeli
cal Lutheran Synod of North Carolina
lints vested, by appointment, authority
and the obligation for its welfare. The
board in turn is under the control of
the synod. The local management is
under the direction of Rev. J. H. C.
Fisher, principal and Prof. H. A. Fisher,
assistant principal, both ligving been
duly elected by tin- foard of trustees.
The constant aim of tlie management
has been to make and keep an institution
which gives to its students the best in
.educational thought and advancement;
to supply the fundamental branches of a
liberal education and culture: to fortify
tin- students in these branches by requir
ing a high standard and thorough drill
under helpful direction : and above all to
inspire the tniuds of the students with a
love for the beautiful, the good and the
true, and help them realize that their
highest personal achievement and great
est service to mankind call for the best
then* is in womanhood.
The location of the institution i„ Mt.
Pleasant, Cabarrus county, N. C.. is al
together favorable. The town is pleas
antly situated in a fertile section of the
state, and is entirely free from till mala
rial diseases. Persons suffering from
ehills and fever are always benefited, and
in some instances cured, by a residence
in town. These facts are stated in order
that parents may feel safe i» sending
their daughters to the school. Health is
invaluable for successful study, and it is
gratifying that these assurances can be
given.

The Four Pillars
of a Home
By DOUGLAS MALLOCH
fTYHERE are fear pillars of a home;
The first of these is Love
However glorious the dome,
What turrets rise above,
With that foundation you must start
The firm foundation of the heart.
And Truth. Love must not be do
celved.
Or love itself will fall.
You must believe and be believed;
The house without is frail. ,
For happiness alone abides
Where common confidence resides.
You must have Thrift. Extravagance
The proudest house decays.
To plan and not to leave to chance
Assures the future days.
You must have sense ahead to see
Beyond today’s prosperity.
You must have God. To meet the
shock.
Temptation to withstand,
Your house must rest upon the rock
And not' upon the sand.
No house is strong enough to bear
The load of life without His care.
These are the pillars straight and
strong
From which your roof must rise;
For such a house will smile with song,
Yea, touch the very skies.
You must have each, you must have
dll; %
Without these four your house will
fall.

O
Something .to
Think About
By F. A. WALKER
THE LEADING TART
YXFHEN youth packs up its text
* * books, turns its back oil the
friendly old university with visible
signs of relief, and faces the staid
world, there is In the heart of every
man and woman that he and she have
been cast for th.e leading part iu life's
great drama.
The curtain is slowly rising. Ex
pectancy is on tip-toe.
The orchestra is playing a lively
air, each tripping note being full of
promise.
It is an ancient scene set
new faces, Contrasting in some par
ticulars with the fresh verdure, the
blooming flowers, the chirping birds
making love and building nests,
guided not by college lore, but by an
innate instinct which keeps every bird
in its place, contented with its lot, and
happy in performing its humble part.
With Nature there is no chance of
anything going wrong, but with Na
ture's proudest handiwork, man and
woman, there Is grave doubt as to
whether this rule in the majority of
cases would apply.
Imagination carries the young iu one
swift ascent to the heights, which the
old and experienced know cannot be
reached except by patient, persistent
work aud seif denial, the price exact
ed from all regardless of condition.
And here is a lesson which cannot
be learned except by rubbing against
the practical world.
It is easy to sit In a cushioned chair
and dream of conquest, so difficult
When In action.
It is something else to face th*
world bare-handed and demand that It
shall give up its choicest gifts.
No victory can be won except by
hard fighting.
Life is not a resting place, but a
field of battle firom the first cry of
the Infant to the last sigh of the del
parting spirit.
To play the leading cole one must
prove one’s ability to lead In little
-things as well*as In big things, by
holding fast to courage and honor; by
keeping constantly at work and stead
ily driving ahead with so deep-seated
a purpose that neither weariness nor
discouragement* shall be permitted to
block the road. There is no other safe'
course to pursue, not even by those
who in their imagination think they
are cast for t]|a leading part.
