MEDDLESOME AUNT JANE
Thc Intelligencer 1B pleased to rec
ord thin morning n telegram which
Miss Jane Addams, president of the
WomanB Peace Party, recently Kent
MrB. Ooo. E. Prince, president of lan
dor College Alumnae Association, re
questing the association to address
President Wilson with refercne to n
conference of neutral mitions to find
a settlement for tho European war,
and a stater,ont which Mr?. Prince
made in reply to Miss Addam'a mes
sage :
Tho telegram from Miss Addams
read 'as follows:
New York.
Mrs. Geo. E. Prince. Treat.
Lander College Alumnae Assn.
Greenwood, C.
For tho sake of all the anxious
mothers dreading that their sons
muy he added to tho ton million
mon already killed or crippled In
thia war, will you strengthen the
appeal to ho made next Friday
hy Ethel Snowden of England
und Kostka Schwimmer of Hun
gary to President Wilson by tele
graphing him immediately at
Washington somewhat as follows:
Wo urge a conference of neutral
nations dedicated to finding a
just riettlem ;nt of timi war.
Jane Addams, President,
Womans Peace Party.
In speaking of the matter yester
day, Mn;. Prince had this to say:
"As it was impossible to got a
meeting of the scattered members
of the executive board by tho date
designated, Miss Addam's re
quest to send President Wilson a
tqlegram was hot granted. If,
however, the board had met, in
all probability tho request would
lui ve been refused, that is, if a
majority shared the views of tho
president ot tiio association. She
thinks that with the inside knowl
edge of tho real facts in tho caBO,
and with monumental Ignoranco
of tho intricate questions of in
ternational law,- it would havo
been the height of stupidity V> .
presume to give our eon sc ic.1 -
' tlous Christian president any ad
vice at this time. The local club
was not called together to con
sider the matter.''
That's^ nl,?l,,i?,fle,^s|ble reply we
think to a request that was bereft
of anything pertaining to good sense.
Miss Addams undoubtedly ia.a great
woman and a woman who ia capable
of,doing great good. in.her.sphere,.hut
when abo sets but to 'have'womens
clubs throughout ?ho country deluge
tho president with telegrams advis
ing him what to do in regard to this
country's sttitt?de toward th? bs i li gar
ent powers;- we think she Is making
herself an object of ridicule. Her
proposition ls . not rauch of an Im
provement over ''Ford's folly.'!

CHARITY ADVERTISING
Under tho above caption, tho Char
U>tto Observer recently/carried an
nblo editorial : er.. tbs subject of the
newspapers being expected to boost,
frooi of charge, various functions
giver- by clubs nud societies where
tho organizations'giving tho enter
tainments expected to ranko a profit
out of tho undertaking. It is a very
readable and n very Bcnsiblo discus
sion ot tho question, and "wo hope the
public generally will road it, for tho
clubs and societies are not the only
ones who call on .Uto newspapers for
0 liberal donation of their stock In
trade, tholr white spaco. to. boost
some enterprise designed to benefit
them.
In discussing this matter, the Ob
server say?:
But a grs it many requests tor
freo publicity come from. people
or organisations who, have some
thing for sale, some enterprise in
which they expect to i^ajt6s%';
money, Yet when the newspapers
demand pay for this kind of pun
net ty a great many4 of these peo- 1
plo become offended., or at least
! seem hurt or to feel ^hat they
are hoing imposed on, denied
aoroo bf their rights. They think
the paper ls not doing Us part by
?charity and ia holding thain up,
or to use an impolite term "rob-,
bing" thom. - Yet they aro people
r.8 broad and liberal as the aver
age. They simply do not seem, to :';
realise that space ls. thc' news
; paper's atock In ; trade just as
clothing is the ^merchants stock
.;'and that it cannot give lt awaj '
: if It i? to exist": They also do hot/,
seem to roaiise that in asking the
newspaper to gire its space free
- ^ they are asking of lt something? -.:
that thoy would hot think 6f ask-vf
rjni r^rh any " other - business. ;
They will g?, to, th? ?ob; printer
for Instance and have cards print
ed announcing theV^aoclaV* or
"party" or whatever lt may bc
and the pay tor the werk with
out question. It ceVsr occurs to
. them that the job printer ough> to
; do ; lhh> -%wr^ fer .nothing, But ,
; : they will send ^oho O? M?JO joh J
printer's ca>ds to the newspaper
1 and ask for freo leaortlon and !
i lt never., seems, ito occur ?o them " j
??; that they aro net acting con- '
slstently. Indeed, they think thc
newspaper is "hateful" if it
charge? them half the regular
rate? for printing the article and
most newspaper* only charge half
rates for advertlHlng that haK nny
connection with charity work. I
Tiley pay ?orno high-priced "ar
tist" a ljrge umount to "put on" a
playlet and then expect the nowa- !
paper, without reward or hope of
reward to hooHt the "artist" us if
lie were of some Importance; also
thc playlet, and wheu tho paper
doesn't do i? they think they have j
been Imposed upon, forgetting
that they could have done their
own boosting,/and taken the re
sponsibility therefor, at. so much
per boost If they had bought some
of tho white ?paco which the pa
per hay for sale.
There are many other incidents
which might bc used to illustrate
tho position of the newspapers.
The promoters of the "lee crean?
social*' do not ask the maker to
furnish the Ice cream free.
Neither do they expect I he grocer
nor the baker to donate the
cakes. But the publicity, which
they must have if the Ice cream
and cakes aro sold they expect
the newspaper to surrender with
out i rotest.
80 much for Bhop talk. "We
have written it that the public
may have a clear understanding
of tho position of the newspapers
in regard to these matters und
with the hope that lt will make
unnecessary BO many explana
tions as th?se things come up
from time to time. .
There isn't anything wo care to add.
Tho Observer covers the COBS about
au well as could ho done. When an
organization wishes to put *on a
money making venturo, bo it turkey
I dinner, motion picture, musicale, pink
tea or - what not, for the purpose of
making a profit, thoy ought to re
quest the grocers of tho town to con
tribute tho odibles for tho dinner; or
the motion picture theatre manager
to contributo tho cost of the rental
of the picture; or other bu?tness in
terests to surrender their stock In
trado to the cause of charity. If
thoy would do this, and succeed, and
I then como to tho newspaper and re
quest some boosting for their enter
prise thoy would "ft it, and get it
free of coBt, and in generous quanti
ties.
FIGHTING NOISE
Last of all in our muck-raking, we
Americans are getting after noise.
And a most tremendous job it is. For
America is the noisiest land In tho
World.
The police commissioner of New
york .City has. stabed .\SgninBt tho
avoidable noises of .tho metropolis, a
task well compared tp tho labors-Of
Hercules. Ho aBks the police to stop
all such offenses as "the shouting pf
street hawkers, tho yelling of taxi
and carriage barkers, unnecessary din
by delivery men and ash-colloctors,
unnecessary blowing of whistles and
noise:; ' due to worn-out or, imperfect
mochlnery." ',.'_>
These, however, are some of the
least ot tho evils. The worst noise-,
devil of all, perhaps, In every city In
Am?rlcv is tho squawking automobile
horn, which might easily be replaced
by an instrument of milder and more
musical tone. There is room for im
provement too, in the control of gaso
line engines. Tho "cut-out" or tho
defective muff lor is on unmitigated
nuisance. , , ,
.' New York, like .Boston and Chicago,
may not be able, for tho present at
least, to preventtho;hideous.noise of
its elevated trains. All our cities, lot
us hope, will bo saved from such
horrors in tho future. Something
could bo dono, however, even now, by
using better car wheels and ? sh?ck
ahsorblng Toad. bed. iSuhways, too?
might he. made less noisy. ''?
Tho crusade ought to have origi
nated in Chicago, which by the testi
mony ot impartial listeners has the
most persistent and outlandish din of
any civilised spot this Bide of the
war cone. Elven the smallest village,
however, might be a good deal quieter
than it ia, with profit to the nerves
and spiilH of its inhabitants.
And it mora Attention were given
' to th?, suppression of noise in fac
tories, we'd haye fer fewer . wrecks
and far moro, efficiency and happiness
in our bl? industries. .

In tile city in that of thc Mauldtn
Electrical company. Tho window is
fixed up with a small Christmas tree,

very oretty appearance at night, with
the soft red lighta r?:t'i tho d3rk

In the new supply, and liconsc ordi
nance of thc city for next year., a
distinction ls made between the pro
ducers and sellers of petroleum pro
ducts. The Standard and Texas com
panies are required to pay a higher
license tlu.n tho Petroleum company.
Tl?e reason for this is that the Texas
and Standard compp-nles ate different
from the Petroleum as the manufac
turer of a brand of goods, who op
erates a branch house is from the
regular retail, or wholesale merchant
who handles his goods.
Teachers of Agriculture. ,
T^e demand for properly trained
men . to teach agriculture In second
ary school B is greater than the sup
ply and, from present Indications, will
continuo to increase for some time.
Hitherto, comparatively few men
have studied ; agriculture with the
deliberate intention of teaching it as
a life work. In consequence while
provision for agricultural education
has boen greatly developed, the num
ber of teachers is. still small.
This Bubjoct is discussed in tho ag
ricultural Education Monthly, pub
lished by the department. It points
out that a good teacher, of agricul
ture must, of course, have all the
fundamental qualifications. He
must know his Bpeclal subject and
must also, be versed In tho science bf
education and the art of teaching.'
These already qualified to teach gen
eral subjecta ' in s?edndarjrw schools

THE ANNUAL E

Washlngtoiv Doc. 11.^-Secretary
Houston's annual ' report made "pub
lic ?oday, places an estimate' ot 50,
873,000,000 on the val?e of "American :
farm, crops and animal products for
last year, a Valuation without prece
dent. This, however, .probably will
be eclipsed by tho > present. -\ year's
showing.
This valuation ia an increase^'.' of j
about $83,000,000 over tho Value ot]
1913, hitherto tho highest ever re?
corded.'' .The increase occurred in the'
taco of a decline in cotton from 12.?
