"Xe.v Tr.sks for New Times" was 'uq subject of one of the most intere-tin.g addresses ever heard in the Pi iucess theater under the auspices of tr?e Y. M. C. A. and was delivered vesterday by Dr. J. Henry Harms, Ph.D., of Newberry college. before on? of t^e largest audiences yet in attendance. Iir. Harms told of the "war and the arcat changes that were taking place anrl taking place rapidly and how new attitudes were being sought. Re stated j that this country must realize the g~eat task of thrift there must be conservation of the religious life of our nation. Conservation, said Dr. Harms* is essentia! and our people are becoming to realise this great necessity, "hut we are not conserving rights." j The schools <ire closed and in some in- ! stances stores are closed for the lack j of fuel and now they say close the : churche's, said Dr. Harms. Should thev ^lose men would dose their grip upon Ood and without Christianity victory is impossible, declared the speaker. America entered this war, stated Dr Harms, hoping to get nothing but expecting to give all, and "we are going I to give all to save this world for de- | mocracy, for our reason is justice. In ; order to give all we are conserving and ; stting numerous campaigns "which-! ore successfully responded to. for man I has realized that in this great struggle he must serve himself less and others ' more. AacT" so we are fast coming : to realize the q-reat need of conserva- j tion, hut ag-ain some men claim that j this war has stopped the progress of everything and that the world is goin? i back to barbarism, bnt this is not so, j for such a thing could never hanpen. j It is only a episode or cleaning of the j spirit of the world, for as Abraham j Lincoln said. "God must like the com- : raon people for he has made so many/,' and he does, for after this great war, th rich despot must die and the work j of upbuilding will be in the hands of | the good common man.

When icen e.ome .0 calloused t'.iat they can "corner*' a commodity and cause humanity lj Saii'er as has the coal trust tliis season, there is no punishment that io *r.^i cni-nro In ha inflicted ITTJOTl thCHl. The idea of raising tbo price cf coal from 90 cents a ton to $3.00 on the ^rcr.rd that it cost more to mine it is preposterous. These coal fields were bought bv these rich :*en at ridiculously low prices, and it is doubtful if the coal itself cost thr-m a penny a torn. The only rest is the mining, and our recollection is that a coal miner informed us that it could : be gotten, out and put on cars for : about forty cents a ton. We unde- j rstand that tbe wages of coal miners! have been increased somev but cer- j tniniv nnf in nroDortion to the in- j crease in the price demanded for coal | at the mines. If this great, and ?lor- : ious (?VDemoeratic frovernment de- j sire to do something that will benefit all the people it "will take over the ! c coal fields and then proceed to put j, ea-ch and every member of the coal \ combine?both o^rator and frnidlle ! man?in some federal prison for life. | The scoundrels need to be put on a j A bread and water diet, too.
