Then are a gnat many things involve
ed in the dispute, so that it would re-
quire a great deal of investigation to
get at all the facts and thereby be in
position to pass on the merits of the
controversy. There is one point on
which there does not seem to be any
dispute, and this point seems to be the
principal bdne of contention. This
point has to do with wages, the miners
insisting on a renewed contract at ex-
isting wage rates and the mine own-
ers insisting on a reduction of some-
thing like 20 per cent. The miners
claim they are not making any money
at existing wages, while the mine own-
ers say the publie is refusing to buy
coal because the high wage rate
makes it necessary to sell it at present
prices. There is estimated to be a
ten week’s supply of coal on hand, so
there will be no immediate shutdown
of industries* for lack of fuel. There
was an extension of -the textile strike
in New England last week when 10,-
000 employes quit work in the mills at
Lawrence, Mass., rather than accept
a wage reduction of 20 per cent.

This happened at Denison,
last Sunday night.
“As two white robed and masked
members of the Ku Klux Klan stalked
down the aisle of the First Baptist
church. Dr. W. L. Smith, a deacon of
the church arose and snatched the
mask from the face of one of the
Klansmen: A person in the audience
immediately struck the deacon in the
face. The Klansman, who was recog-
nized as a Denison business man, cov-
ered his face with his robe and hur-
ried out. Persons near the deacon
pirevented further action. At least fif-
ty masked and robed Klansmen were
in the church at the time of the inci-
dent. A member of the party spoke
to the congregation prior to the at-
tack, defending the organization.
“Klansmen also visited the First
Presbyterian church where a talk was
given. As the Klansmen were leaving
the Presbyterian church. Dr.* Alex VV.
Aeheson, former mayor, civic leader
and ,a member of the congregation
arose and said, "I counted forty-four
masked men—cowards, afraid to face
the world unmasked.” This accusation
was made before the masked party
filed out of the church."

There is up for consideration in con-

which it is proposed to add from 19 to
22 Federal district judges to be as-

bill ami it is now up for consideration
in the Senate. Advocates of the bill
point out that Federal dockets are con-

(Farm & Ranch).
Pioneer farmers and fruit growers
had very little trouble with insect
pests. About the only pests they
.thought they had were birds, and
scare-scrows ahd shot guns were used
to keep them out of the orchards, ber-
ry patches and fields. But were the
birds pests? True, oftentimes they
sampled the fruit and pulled up the
corn, but only as a compensation for
the good work they were doing in the
destruction of insects. Farmers, how:
ever, did not know bird values as they
do now. This value was only dis-
covered when birds became fewer be-
cause of the fight waged upon them;
their ruthless destruction by irrespon-
sible gunmen and boys and their natu-
ral inclination to move back into the
woods when the density of population
increased. _
The examination of the crops of
birds has proven conclusively that
many species are friends of the pro-
ducer. While they may occasionally
sample the fruit, their chief diet is
composed of insects known to be de-
structive- to fruits, vegetables, grains
and cotton. The more birds a farmer
can induce to live on his place, the bet-
ter chance he has to produce profit-
ably. Every farm should be made a
safe refuge for birds.
MISFITS WILL MOVE TO TOWN
I ......
™ (Farm A Ranch)
A century ago it took four farming
families to supply one family in town.
Today it takes one family on the farm
to supply four families in town, which
fact should discourage those well
meaning but misguided individuals
who are constantly advocating a
“Back to the Farm” movement.
Farming is becoming a highly spe-
cialized occupation. No longer can
one scratch virgin soil and produce a
crop. One must now coax a crop in-
to being. To do so he must have a
working knowledge of many sciences
the farmer of fifty years ago seldom
heard of. He must know machinery,
how to operate it and how to repair
minor breaks, He must know his soils
and how to maintain and build them
up. Not only must he know how to
produce, but what is of as much im-
portance, he must know how to sell.
Good farm management is essential
to success. Producing a maximum
tonnage on a mimimum acreage and
selling at a profit requires energy and
intelligence and the man who lacks in
either has no business trying to make
a living from the soil.
Farming is coming back. Farm
and Ranch is optimistic enough to look
forward to the time when tilling the
soil ahd producing livestock will pay
a profit to the man who engages in
agriculture and livestock raising in an
intelligent manner. The misfit will
drift into town where he .can get a
job under a boss who will do his think-
ing for him. Our rural citizens, the
producer of our foods and fillers, are
averaging a higher intelligence every
year. Thus, with the aid of machin-
ery and by the use of better seed and
the application of advanced methods,
are they able to cultivate and harvest
four times the acreage per man than
formerly and provide the necessities
of life for our growing population in
the cities, producing a surplus for ex-
port to the starving population of

(From the Florida Metropolis)
Tfie multiplicity of minor laws that
are being enacted by various govern-
ing bodies in the United States, in-
cluding the chief governing body, is
having the influence of making law-
breakers of many persons who by in-
clination ahd desire' are law-abiding.
The purpose of law has-been run into
the ground in this country.; we have
been legislated at so much that law
carries less respect with it today tjiaii
ever before in its history. It is a ter-
rible accusation to make, hut our own
lawmakers are making lawbreakers
of themselves and others.
The trouble lies in the fuct there are
thousands of dormant laws on the
books—that is, laws that are not en-
forced and which, except for the rea-
son they are laws, should not be en-
forced. Yet under the American sys-
tem of government, which is high-
principled in its fundamentals, it is a
solemn duty to enforce every law. A
law that can not be enforced should
not be enacted, and the country whuld
be better off if laws that are not be-
ing enforced were removed from the
statute books.
The lawmaking bodies continue to
pass laws, while few are being repeal-
ed ; and in the face of the fact that the
American people are already the most
governed people in the world, our leg-
islator* are still writing laws on the
books by the thousands. Every per-
son with a scheme to change this
world to a Utopia in the twinkling of
an eye seems to think the passage of
a Jaw is the crowning of success; the
reformers, the radicals and every class
with an ax to grind see in legislation
cures for all the evils that flesh is heir
to.
What this country needs is a fresh
supply of erasers, not more ink; and
we’d have a better government if these
erasers were put to use.
It wouldn’t be a bad idea to select
a representative body of -citizens to
pass upon the laws that have been
enacted by the lawmakers, for the pur-
pose of determining which are neces-
sary and effective' and which should be
thrown into the rubbish heap. Of
course these citizens would be con-
fronted with many obstacles, but the
time has come when we should have
lawkillers as well as lawmakers.
