THE STRIKE FEVER As a whole the country is- much freer from labor troubles than it was some months ago. But once in a while the strike spirit blazes out, and does enormous injury to the general public. Wage earners sometimes think that if' they get higher wages, it comes out of the capitalists. But the capitalists simply add the charge to their prices, so that the general pub lio pays it all. And prices keep on going up just as fast as wages, and usually faster. It would not do the workers of the country a particle of good to .double their wages over the present level. Prices would more than double. . The advances in prices necessitat ed by the raises in wages greatly in crease the amount of capital neces sary to do business. Employers are not able to borrow these largely in creased amounts of money, as there is not capital enough in the country to loan. An inflated price level dis courages buying and leads to shut downs of factories. Wage earners sometimes say that the only way they can get justice is ljy striking. That is sometimes true. But much more frequently it is true that a strike ties up production, cre ates a scarcity and enables the pro fiteers to get any old price for their goods. The strike is a two edged ..weapon that is very apt to hurt the person who uses it. There should be som? better way of adjusting griev ances. ' ' If the present prices for commodi ties could be cut in two, and wages also reduced 'one half, everybody would be better off. There would then be capital enough in the country to do business with, and production would not be tied up by inflated cred its. While there may be some ine qualities that need to be adjusted in the wage level, yet unreasonable de mands tie up business and keep the prices mounting to still dizzier heights. THE WORKER'S PSYCHOLOGY A business concern may follow all the standard principles of scientific, efficiency, and yet fail to turn out a maximum product. It may have' fail ed to enlist the hearty cooperation of its working' force. . ' " When a factory starts out to intro duce a modern efficiency system, the wage earner looks at it as the effort of the management to make more money. He is not interested. He may feel that vhe. has got to work harder and get no more out of it. To get modern efficiency in any business, the worker must be shown that he personally is going to profit. Something can be done by showing employes that if production falls down-everywhere, it is going to make goods scarce which will make prices high. Something is gained when wage earners are convinced that low production is a bad thing for every body. It can be shown that when produc tion falls off, those who have goods to sell can get almost any old price for them,jso that ti.; wl(fe-earning cites of the country aj i victimized They can be shown that to get an ample production, every workship, every railroad, every mine, and every farm must Work, and work hard. ... They can also be shown that if the spirit of low production exists in one industry, it will spread to all, and that everyone must take hold and spread the production spirit if the country is to be fed and clothed and housed for reasonable figures. People sometimes think that if they slow down on their work, or re fuse to work a normal amount, they stand less chance of getting out of work. But if they slow down, they encourage everybody else to slow down. They suffer from high prices far more than they gain in any other way. The politicians ali know a lot about corrupt expenditure except by their own party. ' The silk shirt buyers of today will be the flannel shirt wearers of to morrow.

The old 'timers insist that the ce.i V.y to observe Child Welfare Week Is to hold regular sessions for the k'ds in the woodshed. Many fellers begin to holler for increased production soon as the fac. tories shut down as the result of high prices. BUSINESS MEN'S .

In the making of the world we find abundant signs of trouble and suffer ings. 'Being in the mountains, as I look out each morning I behold evi dence of the throes that nature went through, and mighty and awful they were, far beyond the conception of man. The volcanoes lead us to real ize that the titantic forces that were active in the formation of the world are still in existence and operative, and it may be these same awful and powerful forces of which we are rarely conscious, save at times, are to be the means by which life is' to be destroyed. Just think 'what vol canoes and earthquakes can do oi this world, when let : loose by the mighty power that created them and put in wild and wreckless motion. The mountains mostly clearly recor J and unceasingly show us the. travail and suffering the world underwent in its birth, out of, God only knows what. The mountains make possible and serve the one great purpose of making the world habitable for or. ganic life. The fact that the earth was for long ages covered with water is too well established, to question ; this was the perfect condition for the growth and development of aquatic' animal and plant life; and this deveH' A 1 J I I - L ' - opment reacnea a vasiness mat is in conceivable, as shown by the world wide remains of that era. Durihg this era of the world's life there was no dry land. For ihe growth, ex- pansion and development of a higher order of lif e," dry land was absolutely necessary, and it must have been about this time that God called for the recession of the waters, and said thus far shalt thou come, and further, and dryland appeared. The method to bring about this condition, even to the limited mind of man, was eminently sensible and practicable; and a view of the earth today shows its wonderful success. So the purpose and existence of- the mountains is to provide and insure dry land for the growth and develop ment of organic life; for the fowls of the air, the beasts of the fields, and man. A No organic life can exist without water: and water being by far the largest constituent element in all liv ing things, God in readjusting the totally water covered earth,vto se cure a never failing supply of this vital element lor land life, appor tioned the earth's surface, about three fourths water and one fourth land ; the upheaval of the mountains caused the elevation of all land with in the range of the action of this irresistible force, a power of which is immeasurable; the waters were forced to flow into the depressions made by the rise of the surface of the earth upon which they had rested, and thus became confined by the lim itation which God had made. A faint suggestion may be realized of the stupendous power employed in bring ing about water clear land, fit and adapted for organic life,, when you consider 4he coastal plain and Mount Everest, one of the peaks of the Him alaya Mountains, which in the soli tude of its grandeur rises to a height of seven miles. In my daily view, when not obscured by clouds, is one of the noted peaks of these wonder- fully beautiful mountains. One of the mysteries of life is how viewing a physical object even miles away; can stir in the soul an intangible feeling that can not be expressed So often when I have the opportunity of standing in the presence of some mighty . and solitary peaks,' )vord spoken of Napoleon come tomind, grand, gloomy, and peculiar, he sat a sceptered hermit. : I have been stray ing up in the mountains, most moun tain roads, are necessarily rough, but that is no reason why the good roads in Edgecombe should be rough; and when I ride over Edgecombe roads, I do not want to feel that I am riding mountain car-paths.
