JUNI- .021. A COMMENDABLE STAND. Indefinitely repudiating tenders to join the International Federation of Trade Unions the 'American Federa- I lien of Labor consistently lives up to its name. It is an American organiza tion, one concerned with advancing the cause of the workingmen of this country and not with prompting revo- luiionury piois against Euiopean gov ernments. beveral months ago the American Federation issued a ringing declara tion against bolshevism as the enemy, not wie friend, of the wage earner. It showed how the Lenme dictator ship was one of virtual slavery for Hussian toilers, who were d< nied not merely freedom of conlract, but were compelled to labor wherever they were commanded by the government and at such wages as it chose to establish. The International Federations activi ties have brought it under suspicion of being a form of bolshevik propa- gamia. Certainly it is a prolific trouble-maker, seeking to foment class war in Europe and tear down existing governments by whatever means best suit its purposes. As soon as it per ceived the true character of the for eign organization the American Fed eration hastened to sever any formal connction between them, and it now sees no reason to change its mind. If the International Federation really spoke for the workingmen of Europe, if it were an honest and straightfor ward organization seeking to benefit labor, the American answer might be different. In serving notice that the “Amer ican” in its title means what it says, the American Federation of Labor shows it is steering the safe, straight, loyal course to prosperity and the respect of*the nation. Another goou piece of work by the American Feder- atoin was rejection of the “one big union" idea. Of c-eaxee the scheme had no chance ot endoisoment, but it was gratifying tj see Ine convention jump on it with ooth feet. GOOD NEWS FROM INDIA. Word from India that the favorable impression created by the new vice roy, Lord Reading, on bis arrival has been strengthened by the manner in whicli li | is taking hold of his duties and the conciliatory attitude he has adopted toward irOuble-riuking ele ments, auguis well for the scheme ol self-government recently put into ef fect. A most encouraging tea tun; was the feature suspension of the anti- British boycott by direct order of the chief agitator, tiandhi, so that the ceremonies of welcome should not he marred by unseemly occurrence*. The recent opening of the advisory Indian parliament at Delhi lias been accepted by all except professional extremists as showing Great Britain’s good faith toward the establishment, of demo cratic government in India. But rep resentative natives realize that for many reasons absolute independence for India is impossible. Any plan to promote peace and prosperity in India encounters not one bat many problems, owing to the fact that India is not a nation of homo geneous population. It is a conglom erate of races held together by the British administration. In India 50 languages are spoken, it has 2!8,000,- 000 Hindus, 07,000,000 Mohammedan^, 11,000.000 Buddhists, 4,000,000 Chris tians, a,000.000 Sikhs. The various races arc kept with difficulty from fiyinp at each other's throats. Their fights among them selves have often been wrongly inter preted as revolts against the British government. The popular picture of a great British military force ruling the people with terror is far from the facts. The British army of occupation consists of 75,000, principally in garri sons along the borders. It is said that per thousand of population there are more Chinese in the United States than English people in India. More, than a century ago Britain proclaimed her policy of administering India as a sacred trust. The step toward self-government is the latest fulfillment of that pledge. •TA Old Fogies BY DR. WILLIAM E. BARTON. Tlie dictionaries do not know where the word cams from, and that is un usual. Nearly every word has a pedigree.

But tile earth will treasure its hit-' ter memories. On nearly the same! greund in the studious period of peace following the Franco-Prussian war, 1 scholars excavated the sites of Cae sar's camps and battlefields in Gaul. More than 1.S00 years had elapsed, j hut Caesar’s trenches and the famousl “lilies” designed as man-traps were still easily recognizable by the dis placed strata of soils and the mixture of dark humus,with the excavated chalk beds. And* in those hidden pits were the bones of men, their broken swords and spears and battered armor. Beneath the poppies of Flanders field will lie the records of the world’s supreme outburst of madness. Let the grasses and flowers grow quickly ind conceal them, for just now the world has need of soothing forgetful ness. But lot them remain also for ever to be (fttidied by archaeologists anil historians and to be meditated upon by philosophers, in the hope that tlie wisdom of mankind may avail to prevent the recurrence of such a catastrophe.

Clemson College, June 13.—Do not allow your garden to grow up in weeds and grass after the spring vegetables have matured, urges Prof. C. C. New man, horticulturist, who warns gar deners that in order to have u satis- taclory fall garden it is necessary to form plans now, to prepare any lanu not occupied, and to begin to plant seeds of certain vegetables for trans planting later, it should be remem bered that practically all \egetables grown in the spring garden cun be grown also in the fail garden, and such vegetables seeds as were left over from spring plantings may be used in the fall. A Few Suggestions. Lollards and cabbages, which should be transplanted about the last of Aug ust or first of September should be planted now. Tomato 1 seed should also be planted now to be transplanted to the field in late July. These plants will fruit well during September and October. Although it is now; too late to plant celery seed for winter use plants can be purchased from plant growers. These should be live or six inches tall and very stocky at transplanting time in late July or early August. Planting of snap beans and corn should continue until about the middle of August. It requires only about 7 weeks for snap beans to mature and killing frosts do not occur even in the Piedmont until the last of October. Watermelons planted the last week in June will mature in September and early October. Salsify or vegetable oyster may be planted now and will under favorable seasons produce good roots by the middle of November. Mammoth Sand wich Island is the best variety. Preparation should he made now for the fall crop of Irish potatoes to be Planted in July. Potatoes that have hem kept in cold storage will sprout more readily than those from the spring crop. The most satisfactory variety for fall crop is the Lookout Mountain. Preparation for rutabaga turnips should be made for planting of this crop in July to bo harvested in the late fall. These turnips placed in banks covered with six or eight inch es of soil will keep perfectly until late February. Any parts of the garden which are not to lie otherwise used should be plowed and planted in black-eyed peas or some other variety of peas that can be used dry during the winter. The Half Holiday The merchants of Florence have set a splendid example in agreeing to close their stores at 2 o’clock every Wednesday, afternoon and give their employees, a half holiday each week. Net only does the plan give employees an opportunity to enjoy a little recrea tion during the hot summer months, but U is calculated to so improve their j physical condition that they cun rea der more efficient service during the busy fall and winter months. For | years it lias been the custom in many South American towns and cities to | give half-holidays to store employees two and three times a week during tlie summer months, and tlie public ban 1 become so accustomed to the rule that no one suffers any inconvenience, ami surely there can be no valid ob jection to giving store employees in this country half-holidays once a week during the summer months.

Everett True By Condo THE SWEET USES OF ADVERSITY The business depression through! which we are passing is teaching u;«j some hard but,_most valuable lessons! in the difficult art of getting along together, writes George E, Roberts! in The Nation’s Business. The prog i ress of society is by hard work, intei-l ligent planning, and thrift—thrift In saving out of today’s production some thing that will help production tomor row. If we could keep this idea of production always in mind, and recog nize that the common welfare is ad vanced in this way ami no other, wc would avoid many mistakes. Our chief troubles' came through a want of common understanding of economic principles and of tlie real harmony of interests between all classes. Emerson said that the meas ure of civilization was found in “fi cility of association”—that is, in the ability of people to understand each other, get along together and work together for common ends. When we think about it we will re alize that it is not an easy matter for people to get along together liariuo Piously, trusting one another and composing their differences in go'/v feeling.
