? Robert I. Young of St. Joseph, Mo.,
candidate for the Democratic nomination
for "United States senator, in a
letter made public in St Louis Friday,
said he had received a notice
from Jihe Ku Klux Klan, to remove a
campaign advertisement which he had
contracted for insertion in the Jewish
Record,' a local Hebrew language
newspaper, because "the Jew is after
the almighty dollar and to hell with
the country." Fred Welssmann, attorney
for the newspaper, made public the
letter which Young w/-ote to H. D.
White, advertising representative of
the paper, in explanation of his refusal
to Ailfill the contract. An excerpt
from the letter read: "I have always
been very friendly to the Jewish people
and am yet. I am no moral coward,
but I do not care to get a coat of
tar and feathers." Counsel for the
paper announced suit would be filed
against Young to collect money due it
under the contract.

laws, under a ruling handed down by
the United States circuit court of appeals
at Asheville, N. 0., last Saturday.
The review was by Judge Charles
A. Woods, Judge Martin A. Knapp concurring
and Judge Edmund Waddill,
Jr? dissenting. Th? decision is in the
case of Louis Kanellos, plaintiff in
error, versus the United States, defendant
in error, to the district court
for the eastern district of South Carolina,
at Charleston. The opinion affirmed
the decision of the district
judge, who refused a motion of attorneys
for the defense not to allow
the testimony of the state officer, who
searched Kanellos without a warrant
and found two quarts of whisky, it is
alleged. The testimony of this officer
being the main evidence of the government
in the securing a conviction,
hence the appeal.
? Eighteen months of finger-printing
depositors or posiai savings nas prut en
the system to be highly successful,
meeting the most sanguine hopes of
postal officials who inaugurated it, and
winning over those who said it
wouldn't "go." The criminal suggestion
connected with making linger
prints, according to reports from officers
throughout the country, has
been virtually wiped out and the aversion
to that method of identification is
disappearing. On the other hand the
denizens of New York's East Side.
Chicago's South Side, and the other
sides of various cities where the foreign
population is segregated, are reported
as being "tickled to death"
with the system. Many of them cannot
read nor write and in the old days
when Guiseppe G.uillermo affixed his
cross-mark to a postal- deposit, he had
no means of knowing but what some
pseudo Guiseppe would collect his
hard-earned coin by making a similar
mark. Now, like the kings of old who
used their signet rings to seal state
papers, tiuiseppc has confidence that
his savings cannot be drawn upon by
one who lives by his wits.
? James W. Tuck, prominent saw
mill owner of Winterville, Ga.. near
Athens, was taken from his home early
Thursday morning by masked men,

He was met on his way back from the

to have screamed and then summoned
the officers. It is said that when the
officers asked Mrs. Tuck the direction
in which the night riders had driven

? Here is the telegram that Governor
, Morrison, of North Carolina, sent
' President Harding in reply to the
president's call upon the governors for
state military co-operation in connection
with strike control: Gov. Morrison,
of North Carolina was the only
state executive to disagree with the
president's policy. "1 am truly sorry,"
Gov. Morrison wired, "that a Judgment
long formed and repeatedly expressed
heretofore in my state prevents
my agreeing with your position as
set forth in your telegram. I deem the
whole policy of national and state governments
trying to adjust labor disputes
unwise. It always forfeits the
confidence of the side to such a controversy
finally decided, against by the
government and creates suspicion of
the impartiality of its exercise of police
power. I believe the full duty of
the government and the part of wisdom
is to uphold the law with fearless
impat i.iality and permit parties in industrial
disputes to fight the economic
battle to a finish. Your position is
practically to use the power of the
government against the miners and in
the enforcement of police regulations
and. the upholding of the law the
strikers will naturally have little confidence
in the Impartiality or fairness
of soldiers or other agencies of force
directed by a government which has
taken a decided stand against them,
however good the reason for such a
stand may be."
? The government's future cdurse in
the situation created by the strike of
railroad shop craftsmen was still left
in the realm of conjecture Sunday,
though President Harding, who was in
personal touch all day Saturday with
the problem and personalities in it,
cancelled his week-end engagements
to stay at the White House Sunday,
where he could be in close communication
with whatever other government
ngeneies were active. Whether
_ Chairtrtan Hooper of the railroad labor
board,' who returned to Chicago Saturday
night after an extended conference
with Mr. Harding, carried new
atid Highly confidential instructions
for a reopening of negotiations with
the union leaders, or whether the administration
intended to stand unyieldingly
by the labor board award
against which the men struck, were
matters concerning which no informed
and responsible official in Washington
would talk. While there were
numerous reports that a new step l?
the government was imminent, these
were utterly without official continuation,
the only definite development today
touching upon the railroad strike,
being in its relation to that-in the coal
industry. Every possible contingency
in connection with the rail situation
has been canvassed by President Harding
in his conferences with advisers
in the cabinet and with members of !
the senate. It was understood the I
suggestions placed before the govern- i
ment included even Federal control !
both of the railroads and mines :.s a I
step ' to be considered in the final
emergency. Other suggestions were
said to have been that the strike be
left to wear itself out. the government
maintaining a policy of protecting interstate
commerce meanwhile; that
labor representatives lie charged in
court proceedings with conspiracy to
interrupt interstate commerce; and finally,
that railroad managements l?e
required to yield on the seniority rule,
while the railroad labor board be induced
to modify some of the conclusions
against which the sbopcrafts
have struck. To date every White
House pronouncement has been of a
nature supj>orting the railroad lr.bor
board and the actions of Chairman
Hooper. Opinion that any modification
of this kind was intended lacked
official support Sunday night.
5The \|orkvuUc inquirer.
Entered at the Postofflce at York, as
Mail Matter of the Second Class.
TUESDAY, JULY 25, 1922.
Undoubted^- there has been too much
experimentation in spending the peoples
money.
Since we come to think of it, it has
always been easy to find ways to spend
the other fellow's money.
There is never any mistake in road
building provided the people get a
dollar's worth for a dollar.
They are picking many boil weevils
out of the white blooms these days.
And that is a good place to get them.
If it were possible for the Southern
railroad to get hold of the C., C. &
O., and complete It to Charleston, it
would mean a great doal for South
Carolina and help speed the day when
Charleston is to become the greatest
port on the Atlantic.
The best thing that can be done
with that car of sheep that has been
brought into York county by Messrs.
Ford, and Burnett is to get it distributed
among the people in the shortest
possible interval, so that still other
cars may be brought in.
There has been some decline in the
price of cotton during the past week.
Improvement in crop conditions is
assigned as the principal reason. The
real reason.* however, is that the bears
I on the exchange have the upper hand
of the bulls, for the time being.
Supply and demand for cotton really
has very little to do with the matter.
The railroad shopmen want the
railroad executives to: 1. Discontinue
giving shop work to outside contracttors;
2. To agree to the establishment
of national, boards of adjustment; ? .
To continue the seniority rights to
striking shopmen. The railroad executives
are holding out on all three of
these propositions.
Dispatches from Washington persist
in the statement that President Harding
will veto the bonus bill unless it
comes to him with a sales tax tacked
on with which to pay the bonus. We
do not exactly like that. If possible,
we would rather see the bonus paid by
the people who made the big money
out- of the war and who still have it.
But we will stand for a sales tax rather
than forego the bonus. Perhaps a
year or two of the sales tax will help
the people to see a more equitable way
| of raising the money.
Recalling his previous outburst
against the Wilson administration at
that place, the, Charlotte Observer is
looking for former Governor Blease to
break out in still a new place at Filbert
next week. Possibly, however,
some of (he other candidates will contribute
to the interest of the occasion
by refuting some of the things that Mr.
Blease has previously said. Rut we
warn The Observer that if there is
anything along this line, it will probably
have to cotno from Mr. Duncan,
who can say it with less danger to his
chances in the coming primary.
As yet the senate committee to
Dm !, rwwii tit inonl .,f .1 \V. Tol
bert to be marshal for the Western
district of South Carolina was referred,
lias not made its report. The understanding:
is that both Smith and
Dial arc lighting? Tolbcrt's confirmation
and the claim from Democratic
sources is that they have presented
evidence that tlic committee simply
cannot turn down. The nature of this
allegod evidence has not- been mfplc
public. Republicans, who claim to be
on the inside, laugh at the Democratic
claims and say that Tolbcrt's appointment
will be confirmed in due time.
The Knights of the Ku Klnx K!nn
have been ordered to discard their
robes and other regalia except when
in their lodge rooms. The order was
made public last Saturday in a letter j
from K. V. Clark, imperial wizzard
pro tern., to Covcrnor Hard wick . of
Ceorgia. It became necessary because
of the frequent outrages that bad been
J perpetrated in different parts of the
country in Ku Klnx disguises. The j
order has begun to realize how easy
[ it is for outlaws of any kind to com- |
mit acta of terrorism in Ku Klux xdis- 1
guises ; nd throw the blame on the Ku
i Klux. It is quite clear thai the only |
way by which the Ku Klux can clear!
j themselves of the suspicion thus imputed
Is to forbid the wearing of dis- I
' V ' T . r I
guises in public. This new onlef, if1]
lived up to, will remove much of the11
existing objections to the Ku Klux
organization.
As to whether South Carolina will
have more than four delegates in the
Republican national convention of 1924
will depend upon the number of votes
cast in the congressional elections this
fall. Under the new rules as revised
considerably after the Republican national
convention of 1920, each state
will be credited with four delegates on
account of its party organization, and
one delegate for each 2,500 votes cast
in each congressional district. There
were eleven delegates from South
Carolina in the convention of 1920, and
the indications now arc that there will
be seven less in the next convention.
This will depend upon the showing
made at the general election. It is
presumed of course that the Republicans
will put up a candidate in each
of the seven congressional districts;
but as to whether any of these candidates
will be able to muster as many
as 2,500 votes is a very doubtful propo
sition. It is not probable that the itepublicans
will begin to show their
hands to any considerable extent until
after the Democrats have made tliolr
nominations in the August primaries.
Of course the whole country is interested
in the economic controversy
between the railroad shopmen and the
railroad executives. And it is well
that it should be, because the question
affects everybody. Down beneath it
all is a question of master and man?
a question as to exactly what are the
rights of the laborer, if he lias any,
and what are the rights of the employer.
It is a question as to whether
labor is to be ruled with and by money,
or whether the man who handles
the hammer should have a right to say
something about working conditions.
It is a question as to whether money
shall have all the say?whether law Is
based on fundamental principles of
right, or law is only Ihe whim of money.
The controversy between the railroad
executives and the shopmen is in
reality a test. It originates back behind
that. The real aggressors in the
fight are the leaders of finance?the
people who control the entire economic
situation by controlling the price atid
distribution of money. They seek to
preserve or increase their power by
lowering the standards of living. The
railroad is the greatest employer of
labor, and the wage scale there, has
the greatest bearing on all other labor.
Hence the strategic point of attack.
The shopmen conquered, the other divisions
will fall one by one or altogether,
and then the conquest extends
| to all other workers in whatever emI
nlovment. It will mean reduced
standards of living for workers, and
increased power and prestige for those
who control the workers. It is an Issue
of tremendous proportions, to he
sure, with a stake as great as that
which was involved in the World war.
Kansas has an industrial court that
is authorized to settle labor disputes
of whatever nature, and the laws of
Kansas have undertaken to abridge
the right of free speech in connection
with such disputes. That is, when the
courts take hold of a labor dispute, all
citizens who are not able to endorse
and commend the action of the courts
\ must hold their peace. Business men
'all over Kansas are In sympathy with
the striking railroad shopmen. In the
city of Emporia business men put
placards in their windows reading:
"We are for the striking railroad men
100 per cent. We are for a living wage
and fair working conditions." These
placards were ordered out by Governor
Allen as being of an incendiary nature
and in violation of the anti-syndicalism
law, whereupon Will Allen
White, the world-famous editor of the
Emporia (Kansas) Gazette, put up a
placard reading: "We believe in the
striking working men CO per cent. We
believe in a living wage and fair
working conditions." He explained in
his paper that while he was not willing
to go the whole way on the strike,
saying that while the cause was just,
the time to protest was not; nevertheless
he believed in free speech regardless
of all efforts to restrict the
same, and that lie was ready to be arrested
whenever the officers of the
law should come along with their papers.
Editor While and Governor Allen
are close friends. The understanding
was that White was to lie
arrested and the matter was to lie
fought out. Hut in the meantime Editor
White is sticking to his guns,
holding that the right of free speech
is fundamental and that there ran t?r
no abridgment of that right. Mr.
White was arrested Saturday night,
and promptly gave bond for his apj
pearance in the district court in Oclo|
ber.
? F. M. Jeffords, one of the trio convioted
of tlie murder of J. C. Arnette,
Columbia tilling station proprietor, and
sentenced to die on June 15th, but
whose notice of appeal stayed his execution
perfected the appeal Friday,
when he served on Solicitor Springer,
of Columbia, the papers setting forth
the grounds of his ap|K'ul. H. G.
Southard, of S|Kirtaul?urg and Barron,
Barron and Barron, of Union, represent
Jeffords. The appeal contains eleven
exceptions to the rulings of Judge
Townsend in the case. The appeal also
alleges that as the trial started on
May 15, when the crime was committed
on the 9th, there was intense public
feeling against the defendant. The
appeal also sets forth that the trial
judge erred in denying separate trials
for the three men, Jeffords, Harrison
and Treece. Another point raised in
the appeal is that the chief evidence
against Jeffords was the testimony of
his partners in crime and it is alleged
that this was hostile. It is also set
forth that the statements of the defendants
to officers of the law, often
repeated, were inndmissnhlc as evidence
as their frequent repetition
served to prejudice the case.

TO FIX ASSESSMENTS
Candidates for York county offices
who have been eager and anxious to
know what the assessments against
them will be and those who have been
anxious for the date for the closing of
entries to be fixed will be in possession
of all that information after Monday,
a meeting of the committee having
been called by John A. Marion, county
chairman for next Monday in order to
fix those matters as well as to arrange
a campaign itinerary for the county.
Enrollment books for the various precincts
will also be in the hands of the
county committee on Monday, and all
those names improperly placed on the
rolls will be stricken off.
Although the number of candidates
i in the county is unusually large this
year, that does not necessarily mean
that assessments will be reduced because
the holding of the primary election
is a very expensive matter and
much money will be needed to pay expenses.
The meeting of the county executive
committee which is composed of one
member from each precinct, promises
to be rather lengthy next Monday.
There is much work to do?many
matters to thresh out. But suspense
of candidates is at an end next Monday
until August 29, when the primary
election is held.
OFFICERS QUITE BUSY
Prohibition officers operating in
York county have been quite busy
during the past several days, destroying
several distilleries and taking a
small quantity of liquor. Last Thursday
a gallon of liquor was found
hidden on the premises of A. A.
Laiighridge in King's Mountain townnot
far from the North Caro
Unit Iin<>.
on Friday a distillery war: captured
t>n the A. C. Stroup place in Kind's
Mountain township and about 200
gallons of beer were destroyed. The
plant, with the exception of the worm
was found and demolished. The same
day a "run out" distillery was found
on the farm of T. K McMackin in
King's Mountain township.
A distillery was found on John Itr.
Davidson's place several miles south
[ of Yorkville on Saturday. Mr. Davidi
son who ehitnecd to be walking about
bis premises found the still going In
j full blast, lfe notified the officers
who captured the still intact. A small
quantity of liquor was captured.
According to officers, activities
among moonshiners appear to be on
the increase during the past few
weeks and considerable information is
in the hands of the prohibition sleuths
who expect to make several profitable
raids within a short while.
WITHIN THE TOWN
? At a meeting of the congregation
of the First Presbyterian church of
Yorkville, Sunday, Messrs. I!. M. Dove,
K. A. Ilall and J. S. Mackorell were
elected ciders.
? "The lid" in on again relative to
the sale of soft drinks on Sunday.
Folks accustomed to their regular
Sunday morning "dope" were told last
Sunday that there was nothing doing
and many of them had to go without.
The police officers have been instructed
to tighten up in enforcement of .the j
ordinance against Sunday selling.
The ladies society of the Associate :
Reformed Presbyterian church has 1
presented Rev. J. L. Oates, D. D.. the j
retiring pastor, with a beautiful silver'
pitcher, and rhb officers of the church j
have given him a handsome gold j
watch. Dr. Oates will preach his last
sermon as pastor of the congregation
next Sabbath.
? Lizzie Howe, a white woman forfeited
a $5 l>ond to the town when arrested
yesterday morning on a charge
of begging on the streets. The woman
seemed to have plenty of money and
readily came across with the necessary
bond demanded by the policeman.
According to Chief of Police
Steele the woman worked at the
Lockmore Mill in Yorkville last week.
She is said to have told people that
she was out of employment and numbers
of them have fallen for her
"hard luck" story.
? Few people were interested enough
to attend a public meeting held last
Wednesday for the purpose of, hearing
the annual report of the board of
trustees of Yorkville (iraded school
district. The report of George W.

PICNIC AT FILBERT.
Unless all the experience of the past
shall prove at fault, there will be a
mighty crowd of people at the picnic
to be held at Filbert on Wednesday of
next week.
And it is right that there should be.
It is good for i>cople to get together at
least once in awhile on occasions like
this to renew old acquaintances, make
new acquaintances and by actual contact
get an idea how the general pub
I lie feels about social, economic and
| political conditions. There is much to
be learned by such contact.
Again it is well for people to see .and
hear for themselves what they are bein*?
offered politically. It is a fact that
hearsay testimony is not always to be
relied upon in matters of this kind.
Some people will try to tell the thing
straight; but everybody cannot convey
| his own honest impressions to another.
, no matter how hard he may try. The
other man cannot always understand it
as it is intended. And again every man
| does not try to tell it as he sees it.
Very often he seeks rather to carry his
impressions as he wants the other fel1
low to be impressed. The same thing
, is true of many of the newspapers.
I Some try to tell the whole truth; but
they can't. What will interest one
writer will not interest another. Then
some of the newspapers do mot want to
' tell the truth. Taken all in all, the
, best way to get the best impression is
to go and see and hear.
There is not a thing about this picnic
I run Ciin ut; fifiu uujrviiuuawiu iu uuj body.
The attendance will be made up
largely by earnest, intelligent York
' county people, who will be there to see
and hear?to get all the information
they can. They will be people who
know how to behave thetnselves, and
who can be depended upon to see that
all the proprieties are observed and respected.
Nobody, no matu >w delicate their
sensibilities, whether man or woman,
need fear to trust themselves into any
representative York county crowd.
Everybody knows that.
The importance of this campaign
picnic is groat enough to warrant the
attendance of every citizen who can
arrange to attend, and everybody who
can should be at Filbert on Wednesday
of next week.

? Enactment of the wool duties |
proposed in the pending tariff bill <
would result in n burden upon the

of Massachusetts declared Sunday
in a formal statement. Senator
Walsh, who is in charge of the Democratic

wool duties, contended that the 33
cents a pound duty on raw wool alone
would increase the nation's clothing
bill by $200,000,000 annually.
? Inst Friday was the first anniversary
of the passage of the administration
tariff bill by the house. When
the measure will find its niche in statute
hall still is problematical, but there
are increasing signs that the leaders
at least, on both sides of the senate
are anxious to get it into conference.
Admittedly they arc weary of the
grind of work on what has become the
longest legislative day in the history
of the senate, a day that now has run
2.20S hours, or 121 more hours than
there were committee amendments to
the bill. In the senate it still is 12
o'clock noon, Thursday, April 20, 1922
?the hour the tariff was called up?
this bit of legislative fiction being indulged
in with the hope of facilitating
final action by keeping out all other
except the most prossing legislation.
Hut this fiction has not prevented the
senators from talking on most every
subject under the sun.

? A conference between David Lloyd

and Hapmonrt I'oincare, the French
premier, to discuss the question of a
moratorium for Germany, has been arranged
for the first nart of August.
says a I'aris dispatch. It is exacted
that the conference will assume the ,
proportions of a meeting of the supreme
council as it is generally understood
in Paris that Belgium is sure to
be represented and if the Itillan cabinet
crisis is solved in that time that
Italy also will have delegates present.
Realization that the reparations question
has reached a decisive crisis is
held responsible in French circles for
Premier Poincare's overcoming his oft
expressed aversion for supreme councils
and his decision to have the matter
of a German moratorium discussed
before the first supreme council he has
agreed to attend since he was called
to the premiership. The fact that M.
Poincarc will be accompanied to London
by Minister of Finance Do L?.steyrie,
and Count Peretti de la Rocca,
director of political affairs ;.t the foreign
office, as well as several technical
experts from both the foreign affairs
and finance ministeries and the
premier's acceptance of 'he invitation
to meet Mr. Lloyd George without
waiting the decision or the reparations
commission on the moratorium question
are regarded in I'nris as indicating
that the fate of a German morr.torium
is more likely tp be decided at
London than in Paris.
