We were under the impression that
city council had forbidden the use of
cut-outs on automobiles, but it seems

notice.
We trust that city council will enforce
the ordinances of Bamberg impartially
on all alike?rich and poor,
white and black. There has been too
much of this sort of thing here in the
past, and we hope that with the new
order of things that seems to be coming
here that this will be remedied.
Certain persons could violate a city
ordinance without suffering the penality,
but let some one else do the
same thing and he would be fined.
Let's have just and equal enforcement
of our city laws on all alike.

Railroad employees, who are best
paid of any class of wage earners in
the United States, have asked congress
for an increase in wages
amounting to something like $8,000,000,
which amount they say must be
raised byy increasing freight rates. Of
course this burden would have to be
borne by the public, already overtaxed
with the high cost of all necessaries
of life, and railroad charges are
high enough now, goodness knows.
Not only do they seek to put this additional
burden on the t.axDavers. but
they ask that the railroads shall be
taken from private ownership and operated
as the employees say and for
/
their benefit. A more outrageous
and anarchistic idea was never promulgated
anywhere, not even in Bolshevist
Russia. . Labor dictated to
the government during the war, and
as they are never satisfied, they will
keep up this sort of thing as. long as
they can. It is high time for the
patriotic men in both political parties
to get together to stamp out this
radicalism. God knows where it will
end if it is not checked.

THE FORD VERDICT.
Henry Ford in his suit for one million
dollars damages against the Chicago
Tribune for alleged libel gets
six cents, instead of a million dollars,
and everybody seems satisfied. Ford
contended for vindication, and got
it. From past records, we judge the
Tribune is not so much concerned

cash, and the paper is satisfied; at
least the paper's counsel says so. Nobody
has said anything about the
jury that sat on the case for nearly
half a year. No doubt they are thoroughly
satisfied to get out of the jury
box. Both sides to the suit have vainly
tried a make a sensation out ,of it
"without much success. The newspapers
startej out by giving the proceedings
big front page heads, but
the trial frittered down to one and
two liners before much progress was
made, and the public had about lost
interest in the case before the verdict
was reached. No doubt Ford and the
Tribune were trying to play to the
galleries. If they did try, both have
ignominiously failed. However, we
are rather glad Mr. Ford secured his
vindication, lor a payer uas au mure

were guilty of what the Tribune
charged, it would have paid no attention
to it if he were not a millionaire.

A prominent Washington woman
has written a letter protesting to the
beach censor in regard to the strict
censorship directed against the fair
sex in the matter of bathing costumes.
"The way men are allowed
to parade the beach makes them repulsive,"
says the indignant champion
of abbreviated costumes for the fair
ones, referring, of course, to the absence
of covering on the extremities
of the said men. Entirely correct.
We never did see anything lovely
about the perambulating machinery
*
of mere man when it is divested of
proper garments. But, continues the
good lady, "the girls, after all, have
curves and attractions not at all disgusting
when they are permitted to
come out on the beach without stockings."
We hesitate to express our entire
approval of this utterance: yet,
far be it from us to dispute the point.
"And their limbs are simply awful,
full of knobs, and besides most men
are bowlegged," continues the pro4

We discerned these things years ago
in painful evidence on masculine extremities.
and now that our attention
has been called to it, we cannot again
expose our knobs at the seashore to
the shocked gaze of those with the
"curves and attractions" without a
sense of outraged modesty. The writer
says that the men, and not the
girls, should be compelled to cover
their uncouth and unsightly bodies
on the beaches, and we quite
agree?as to the men, of course,
we cannot gain our consent to believe
they were made for sight-seeing
exhibitions at the seashore. They are
shocking to the aesthetic sensibilities
so hereafter, by all means, men
should take their baths at home; else
take to the ocean fully covered.

SELF-APPOINTED.
The Religious Herald, quoting the
Catholic War Council Bulletin, says
that the "big six," members of the
war work council, were "at first self
appointed." Later the council or commission
was officially appointed an
advisory hoard by Secretary Baker.
The board was composed of two Presbyterians,
one Episcopalian, one Jew,
one Catholic and one whose church

activity was so obscure that his denominational
affiliation is not known.
These men were intrusted with the
supervision of all religious work connected
with the war camps in this
country and abroad. Not one of the
six is a Southern man. The Southern
.Methodists, Southern Baptists,
Southern Presbyterians, nor any other
Southern church body was represented.
At the request of the
board itself the Catholic member
was made chairman. This
self-appointed board administerreouest
of the board itself the Cath
olic member was made chairman.
This self-appointed board administered
the affairs of the Methodists, Baptists,
Presbyterians, Episcopalians
and all other protestant denominations,
and spent the money contributed
to the Y. M. C. A. This same
board took unto itself powers heretofore
unheard of in the annals of
American religious liberty. It excluded
all protestant denominations from
independent work in the army, and
admitted the Catholics through the
Catholic official organization, the K.
C. The Jews were also allowed to
carry on their work independently.
The avowed policy of the war department
was, presumedly on recommendation
or approval of the aforesaid
advisory board, to "break down, rather
than encourage denominational
lines." In other words, soldiers were
not permitted to worship according
to their own desires, but according
to the ideas of this self-appointed
advisory board and the war depart|
ment. This all took place in the
