“GOD, GIVE US TEN.’" -> . ' _

“Klansmen are men in every sense of the word, with great minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands; men whom the lust of office can not defile; men who have the courage of their convictions; men of honor, true to their word and faithful to their purpose; men who can stand before the demagogue and detect his treacherous flatteries without faltering; men who are crowned with the dawn of glory in duty well done the deluding mists, and

who live in a sense of public duty and are capable of j the.couBtr, UTthe south .ndW vra. thinking; men who are too big to incite seltish stnie, men \/no known, in tlie railroad vernacular, as

tions of railway casualties by governmental bodies are farcial. Naturally they cannot get to the scene Yn time to reach intelligent conclusions. It is “the day after the Fair”

for them.

The attention of the tax-payers might well be directed to the cost of the superfluity of efforts that make no improvement in conditions. Summarizing: A Commission charged with the responsibility for railroad rates, the issuance of railway securities and their obligations of every kind, having the power to prevent unnecessary railway building and extensions, has enough to do—leaving .technical and mechanical matters ito t'/i

mutual exxperts.

That part of the Transportation Act whereunder the Labor Board was created was a bungle. No other word so fitly describes it. It is wrong in principle. A synchronization of wages in all the United States is im-

practicable.

The Alkili District

As an illustration: Some years ago

will set back the old standards of religious liberty in America and who will break the cliques and sects which have been set up by selfish individuals who seek to destroy all great, free American ideals and institutions. “God give us men” is the prayer of eve^y Klansman, and in that appeal to the hearts of true Americans everywhere we seem to have excited some who are opposed to our practice of patriotism, and who seem to fear our efforts to protect and preserve the free public school system of America which is the bulwark of our liberty, and the safeguard of generations yet unborn. God, give us men!”—Fiery Cross, Indianapolis Publica-

tion Devoted to Klansmanship.

Thus, we get it from an authoritative source, just wait kind men belong to the invisible empire. No matter'what they may have been up to the time of taking part in pettycoat parties, thereafter they are purged of all sin and become more than mortal clay. Alive, their heads are surrounded by halos; when they die the mansions in the sky will have to be repainted and papered before they will consent to enter. And the slogan of klansmanship, according to this Indianapolis expert, is “God Give Us Men.” That may be the slogan in Indianapolis^ In Muncie it is “God Give Us Ten.” r

BLASPHEMUS, IMMORAL AND TRAITOROUS The most abominable thing about the “invisible empire” which seeks to rule America and break down the foundations of our liberties and destroy our democratic form of government, is the employment of the words “God” and “Country” in furthering its treasonable, impious and utterly lawless purposes. We know one man who belongs to the klan who openly 'boasted on the streets of Muncie one night recently that he did not believe in God or that the conception of Jesus was. divine. We know of at least two others who were under espionage during the war under suspicion of being German sympathizers, and if any authorized member of the Muncie foand of Kluckers will come forward and make a denial of the statement contained in this paragraph or the one above we will produce the proof. We know another of these holy hokum peddlers who seduced the wife of a brother klucker. The latter let his wife get a divorce, in order to get rid of her and gave her-five thousand dollars to* bind the bargain. If any of Kahili’s Running Kuties whrit proof of this, just ask for it. o . ^ \ , We know of another, a married man, who is keeping another woman but does not give his wife enough money to feed and-clothe his own children and who refused to bid his own sons goodbye when they joined the colors and sailed-for France. ' , , But why go on? The klucker organization is just the sort of a refuge for cattle of that kind. God and Country indeed! Klansman ship is smirched by t'he fires of treason and anarchy. The claws of Satan, instead of the hand of God, sustain the “fiery cross” before which these wild asses of the wilderness bow and bray in asinine idiocy while Kahili Kounts the Kale.

It must have been a great surprise to the Kirby-Wood Lumber company to discover that their lumber yard and premises vvei;e being used as a storage place for liquor, which was being disposed of by an employee. It is said that? some of the jugs, bottles and other blind tiger paraphernalia were found under the office. The Muncie dailies referred to the liquor find of the local police as being in a “local lumber yard,” thus throwing suspicion on all the lumber yards in Muncie.

It might be of interest to the creditors of Bill Cahill, to learn that he is about to depart from our mids, and to collect before he fddes away with the bank roll contributed to him by Muncie suckers. Having separated the suckers from all the night shirt money in sight, it is declared that Bill is preparing to seek greener fields, if it is possible to find one greener than Muncie.

CHIEF REVIEWS

Erie President Declares Road Employes Should Govern Mechanical Needs.

Government Supervision Held to Be Duplication of Effort and Ineffective.

BY F. D. UNDERWOOD. Editor’s Note: TheTact that a man is dhe executive head of a gfreat railroad is in itself enough to assure the average man he has something worth while to say to the natic®the trouble has been to get him to say it. President F. D. Underwood of the Erie is known where ever trains are operated in the United States and his judgment is respected by railroad officials as b.eing mature, born of much thought and an embracing knowledge of the problems that are confronting American roads today.

It is difficult to write on the railroad situation without being one of two things, or both—elementary .and

redundant.

W’e may start with the text that all transportation agencies must recognize the supreme right of the public to adequate, constant transporta-

tion.

The life-blood of railroads is remunerative rate. The making of rates is vested in body created by congress. In addition to its ratemaking powers, it is. under the law, given jurisdiction over safety appliances of every character, boiler inspection, accidents to ^persons and property, etc. Its duties, when first constituted, were confined to supervision of rates. Later on at various times added duties were given

it is physically impossible for the principals to perform their allotted tasks. Any commission will be fully occupied with the important duties involved in rate-making, sHiperv^ion over the issuance of all seourities and obligations, and. decisions as to the building of new and extension of old railway lines. These und(ertakings are enough to require the best effort of the best men obtainable. Cluttering it up with the minor details off railway practice must always be an inefficient procedure. The desire of lawmakers to fetter railways was at one time quite apparent. When that feeling governed Congress, the existing useless features of Government Control were added.

the “alkali” district. All men in the cransporration department .of railways in that district received a higher rate of pay than did those in the vicinity of Chicago, for the reason that living conditions warranted it In time that situation automatically eliminated itself. Later bn, and especially during Federal Administration, wages were equalized on all lines—a practice that does not obtain in any other industry and should not

in railway operations.

The limits of this article do not

admit of many illustrations. Ohe is, given of a divisional point at Susquehanna, Pa., as compared to Pittsburgh, Pa.—the cost cf. Vving in Susquehanna is far less than in Pittsburgh. Either the men in Pittsburgh are underpaid or the men in Susquehanna are overpaid when on the same wage scale. Instances of this kind

can be multiplied nm«iiirre?«y. A local board of ar^icrBiurs, jointly

chosen, familiar with local conditions and naturally anxious to do the best they can for those Vho form an important. part of their community— who are their neighbors and friends —can speedily and fairly make an adjustment of any differences between railways and their employes. This plan does not meet with the approval of the labor leaders so far as I know. However, it is fair, and no men or class should' be allowed to interfere

v/ith its inauguration.

Visible Supply of Fruits and Vegetables Heavier

11-41 • or- Practically all lines of fruits and vegetables will shoW heavier production totals than in 1921. The items that Ohio raises in sufficient quantities to be recognized nationally are .cabbqge;, jpeqchsjfs, onions, .and, apples. Iri/.all bf, these Ohio.’s'output is estifn&ibad as heavier than last. year. Ohio peaches have increased approximately 800%, due to a - very short crop in 1921. New Jersey and Michig/an are bracketed with Ohio at the; S&njie percentage of increase. .Neyv A4 r h 'frill ship 60% more than last year, ; Texas is the only peach producing state that will fall short of 1921. The total peach crop is estimated at 54.302i000 bushels of which Ohio. 1 will False 1.396,000 or about 2% Vn. This‘puts Ohio tenth in the list. The estimated total of apples to be harvested in Ohio is 642,000 barrels, which is between 2% and 3% of the nation’s output. Ohio is here the fifteenth in production. In the production of late crop cabbage however, Ohio stands slightly higher in the list of states. The 75% increase in the Marietta district has brought Ohio up to about 2,500 acres. This is around 5% of the tot-

al.

Onions are in from 10% to 20% heavier acreage in the late crop sections. Ohio here stands third with 6830 acres, being preceded only by New York, with 7620 and California with 7300 acres. The only percentage of output that can at this time be estimated is upon the acreage basis, with Ohio showing approximately 15% of the country’s planting. She has increased her production however by 22% over 1921, while the total for the United States

is only 15% higher.

When the balance is struck for the season, the financial increase may not be proportionate to the higher production, due to possibly lower

prices, but the list above shows that the toilers of the soil in Ohio have

more than done their share in the

feeding of the multitude.

The Personal Equation

Who could have a greater interest in the integrity of a locomotive boiler than its engineer and the mechanical officers charged with its upkeep? Who could have a greater interest in. pursuing a course that will free railways from accidents than the employes, the officers in charge, and the directors, who are legally and morally and legally responsible for the proper management of their properties? Their cannot delegate their

authority; they cannot evade their responsibility. The insertion into

management of any government of any governmental body, with the view of preventing boiler explosions, train accidents, etc., is sophistry—a duplication of effort. Railway officials have a personal pride in doing their jobs with the minimum number of accidents. They can be depended up-

I-T V , W it i,n juiu me eauae ux until a point has been reached where remedy as they now do.

Southern Railway Trains Held Up As Trainmen Walk Out

Say: Brotherhood Men Refuse to Move Trains As Protest Against Guards.

Spencer, N. C., Aug. 24.—All union trainmen, switchmen and clerks of the Southern Railway at a meeting here last night agreed not to take another train out of this terminal until 9:30 a. m. today, when deiclsion^ will be reached as to whether the walkout is to be permanent or not, according to announcement made by brotherhood officials after adjournment of the meeting. The action was taken, it was explained because of the presence of troops on guard duty here. All trains arriving after midnight, are tied up here and will be, according tp present indications, at least, until 9:30. They • include a number of main line trains between' Washington and Atlanta and those .on several other lies, including that to AshevilLc.

SHORTS AND MIDDLINGS

You can pkint iris and, peonies now. Going to Select your steed corn from the standing stalk this fall? It’s the only way. Says Sam: I hope by the time I die I know as mu<jh as I thought I did when I put on long pants. Hogs make right good corn cutters when soys are planted in the same field. “Hogging down” corn is not slip-ishod practice: often it pays. American farm women remodeled 7,000 kitchens last year' as a result of home demonstration work through the State Extension Service. A few nicks with a file on some unexpected part of your Ford may help to identify it in case its stolen. In Ohio, 999 rural townships are organized for farm bureau demonstration work. Drain your land before your land drains you. Sell livestock at home, and keep the best in the Community. Advertise in your home town paper. In the morning, sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thy hand for thou knowest not whether shall prosner either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike gqbd.— Ecclesiastes XI,6.
