Neither the spend-thrift nor Uie ' ? urc tight-wad, therefore, are worth very much to a town. I T1 HE IJCSSON* OP THE STULKK. I There Is a lesson in the proposed; *at railroad strike which it would well for us as a nation to learn,j il to protit by. Probably a very small per cent of 5 membership of the brotherhoods, len tli^y voted on the proposition; strike, had ever Riven serious sught to the far reaching effects I their action should it come to an j tual walkout. The aame can be id of the cit'zenship of the country large. Strikes had been of so freent occurrence during the past half itury, and the business of the untry had suffered such small ecks therefrom, that we had been lied into a talse sense of security. In the great crisis, which has been r a time averted. however, the untry has at last been awakened the enormous power of organized )or. But even now we would not fully alive to this great power had not been threatening the very life the nation. Few of the masses of the people d ever realized how fully were the llroads the arteries through which ursed the commercial life blood of ? nation. Not until we were reatened with a stoppage of that p giving stream did we awaken to i dire peril which such action porlded. Only within the past few eks have we begun to appreciate 1 extent of the want, the suffering. 5 colossal losses that must have 'vitably resulted had the strike maialized. But now that we are at last awako the real sigflcance of the situation it confronts us. we should profit by r knowledge. We should see to It once that no similar peril is ever lin permitted to threaten us. We mast recognize the fact that ? railroads are an absolute necity to national life; that it is now moral and patriotic duty incuniit upon not only the managers, t upon the employes as well, to ?p the roads in operation. Yes. we know all about the rights labor, and of that proud boast that are all free born American citijs. But when a small per cent of ? nonnlo oif ^nr oo *?* - |/v.v/p>ui vt?.tavi no uiuiia^rin ui an eratives, have reached the point ion the life of the nation ia absoely at their mercy, then that all per cent ceases to be free in ? full sense of the word. They are und to a higher duty than self in-j est. They are in bondage to the ?at cause of universal humanity. J ey have made themselves absolute-l necessary to their fellows and are' )T free to follow their own inclinans. They have become a part of ? machinery that moves a nation, d must bear the responsibilities it accompany the position. We must realize that for the railid man to quit his post (unless a mpetent substitute is at hand to ?ume his duties! is Just as repsonde as a violation of train orders d fraught with as great peril to s public safety. The railroader ist be brought to see that he owes vacred duty to his country, not sn second to that of the soldier, e soldier guards our homes and; r honor; the railroader guards our rv life. He should not destroy it which he guards. A united nation should insist that ?se men who thus hear the burdens our comfort, prosperity and safety nil he fairly dealt with. The thou ads of men who daily and hourly, pose their lives to the perils of th *j Is that we may prosper and live In in fort should have the full weight our influence and sympathy tord securing a square deal. The i /I c KA r? n /I ? ^ ~ ' 4 ? * ?_l ion nuwuiii "K iiimir m irei III it I ail i to them Is an affront to the tion. And. likewise, the employes' rnild he made to realize that to rottle the roads is to crucify the, tion which every honest American! es. Can this he done without govern-| nt action? Possibly not. Hut if! *h action should he necessay, then ? sooner it comes the better. An-| jer such period of tension and un"tainty will work untold harm to; r country. IT MUST NOT COMK! NARROW SUCTION A I, TTTKRANCE. [t remains for the Hoston Post to; jress the meanest, narrowest, secnai comment on the Federal Aid1 r that has come under our notice, nerally throughout the North, st. West and South editors of, >ry creed have prais^l the law; it brings Federal aid to road ilding in the States. With almost inimity the editorial writers have :en a non-partisan view, a patriotic w, of this measure that was pass , by both houses of congress with: overwhelming vote from men of h predominant parties. In charerizing this measure as an adverng scheme, the Post says: 'There is the Wilson administra-1 n's $75,000,000 good roads mean-, !, which Is expected to build many les of fine road in the South and BE LANCASTER NEWS FRC West. where the States have neglect- p ed the work and where votes frequently grow by the roadside." Following this outbreak the Post goes further and calls the Bankhead bill a contribution to the "pork barrel fund." The editor of the Post is no doubt informed that his charac-' terization of this law is absolutely untrue, but it would not serve his narrow end to tell the whole truth about the matter. The Federal aid bill is not sectional because it so uppvua inai me large states tbat get the bulk of the appropriations happen to be in the West and South. The Post should not forget that for many decades New England has grown rich because of Federal laws that bestowed especial favors on that section. There is no State in the Union that has received more favor from Federal law than has Massachusetts and the benefit that will go to the West and the South through Federal road aid is a mere pittance to the benefit that New England has secured through Federal protection of her every interest. When he speaks of those States that have "neglected" their roads we wonder if the Post editor ever considered that some of these States are many time the size Massachusetts, with only a fractional part of her wealth. And does he not know that Massachusetts has been enabled to get rich and build fine roads to every section because of favors that were not extended to other States. It is precious little aid that the great agricultural States have heretofore gotten from Washington and that section that would begrudge the crumb thrown to them is indeed of a selfish nature. If wealth counted, Massachusetts would get more than most other States, for her resources are developed. But the Bankhead bill is designed to help those States that most need aid and whose development will be more rapid with the building of good roads. The Post will not gain much respect from editorial^ of this kind.?Southern Good Roads. + 111 BUSINESS NOTICES 111 WANTED?6.000 pounds of cew, horse, mule, sheep, and goat hides You will find u? on White street.
