THURSDAY, JULY 20, 1922. ci ' ^ . ~~ jl Public scntiiiicut and the lie- tl cessity for reduction of government expenses forced a cut in tile size of the urmy and navy, j, ' but instead we have an enlarged 0i in ugruiu ui nnuiary training. tn Congress is making appropria- l' ticnsd'or National Guard encampmeats, citizens' military training k camps and for military depart- St meats for many colleges through- cj out the country, besides for some d form of military training for 1,1 high school boys. The thing is being overdone. We have cut jdown the number of professional oi soldiers, and that was a good 4,1 day's work, but we are going ul ahead promoting another war. i ? < There are two classes of people?those who do things and ti those who stand still. And it is li found, when policies of public >' r iimprovement come up tor discus- ^ sion, some will undertake to ^ show why things cannot be done ci and others will undertake to i show how they can be done, l'oth 11 kinds of people are perhaps lion. .. . . . 4> cni ami equally uevoted to tlie e public good. They simply look p at ...things from different stand- a points. But as a general propo- v sit ion, the people who want to do things and those who try to show that things can be done are in (.' the right. These are the people cl who carry the world forward and n elevate it to better things. .. ^ Business - conditions are im- A< proving, slowly but surely, not ? because of anything Congress has j done, but because a revival ot' v business always follows a period d of stagnation. Two years ago the country was in a fever of speeu- w lotion. There had to be a halt, ** and it was a drastic one. People * quit buying. There was a eontraction of the currency and a " contraction of business of every j kind. But it was not in the na u ture of things that this state of tl affairs could continue very long, it There was bound to be a change P and now it is coming. Times are getting better, slowly but surely. j If you take a man's property without paying him for it he becomes indignant. lie will hale you before the court us a thief ^ and ask that you be 'punished. c The law undertakes to protect a t| man in his property rights. The ei same principle, coming up in a u - different form, causes many men to look upon their jobs as a form j of property. A man's job is his a means of earning a living and he tl resents the effort 011 the part of anybody to take it away from him. Sometimes property is un- 0 profitable, but it is nevertheless -ej his own. So a man may have a n poor job, but he regards it as his }' > . H own. Ana some job holders may jj' think they have a right to abuse (j their jobs and still hold them. T All of which leads up to the ex- n* pin nation as to why strikers resent strike-breakers. If we had a provision of law by which * la man who abused his property or P failed to use it for the public IY good would thereby forfeit hfc'C right to it,- it would be easier to b deal with strikers who attempt 01 3 to keep strike-breakers from tak-' w rag their jebt _ Iz Suit Against Junk Dealer. J. A. Bell, Esq., of Charlotte, t'feree in the case of the Fort [ill Lumber company against M. chwartz, Charlotte junk dealer, 1 expected ^ to report within a w days his findings to the sucrior court for Mecklenburg ounty, by whom he was appoint- j i several weeks ago to take tes- j iiiony iu the case. The Fort [ill Lumber company some time ! go brought an aption against chwartz tor $5,500,* the amount ! i an account the lumber coin- ' liny alleges Schwartz owes it for unber and other building mate- ; ul furnished him for a residence rected in Charlotte.. Schwartz understood to set up the claim lat the bill is excessive and that luch of the material with which i? is charged was never delivered > him. J. J. Bailes, president of le Fort Mill Lumber company, lys he is confident that if the :se goes to a jury he will get a idgment against Schwartz for te full uinount of the claim.
