WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 23, 1922. , In considering a question it ofter happens that we fail to consider the main issue and give all consideration to mere side issues. Wo now have a strike on in ti?s country that is al most nation-wide. As to %vho is right who v ong, we have never been ante to say. No doubt the workingman has his grievance; the operator may have his. Both may be wrong; both may be right, in some of their contentions. But there is one phase of this situation that should be considered. a nha?e that is seldom ransirl cred. The innocent party, the third party in the situation, pays the bill. Those who destroy the business of the country, fail to realize that they 'ire destroying value that often belongs to widows and orphans, nged people and people against whom neither the strikers nor the operators have any grievance. A nan works lia'f a lifetime, acA cumulates a competence for old age, invests the money in railroad stock, lie should not be robbed of his lifetime earnings bv the warring of owners. \ man should be protected in the possession of his accumulated values. A man, having provided for his family by carrying insurance, by painstaking effort and the practice of economy, leaves the money to carry out his will. The money is invested in railway stocks; in this or that enterprise. We maintain that no set of workingman nor set of operators should ha allowed to wine out that value. It is a crime to allow it. What real incentive would then be to conserve value if there is to be no protection of value? What use to putby money for a rainy day, if fc'hejl that day comes, the money's value is to be destroyed through the wrangles that arise between workingmfn and ope.ator? To use the Invested capital of the country to wage war is wrong. This country needs to get down to rock bottom on these fundamental issues. Neither organized fabor nor organized operator should be allowed to destroy these values to set tie their differences. The wprkingm n, as well as all other men, is, in the long ruii, aiTivted l?y the destruction so wrought. Suppose a railway worker, through years has accumulated a competence, invested it id railway stocks and, having so done,* returns to a quiet life to spend the last of his earthly days? Supjiose the strikers, throucrh their strikino- ?.r rVi. operators, "through therr nagging, bring on the destruction of those invested values ? Should they .he al lowed to do this? We do not believe this should be allowed. The function of government is to protect property as well as life. The government levies taxes on invested capital to function. The life of the government depends on this levy. If it had no money, :he government would tease to funeton. So. when "ou disrupt, destroy '.he invctec values in a country you "really tindermind the government. Many people do not like to face this is. ue. Hut it is the truth, nevertheless. And truth is what we need to mrtot all questions. We say it agoit and, without apology: Many people in t!."s country have gone crazy in their attitude towards ingested wealli They seem to think that it is the right an 1 proper thing to abuse, har.ast am' destroy such capital. They do pot seem to realize that in so doing they are pulling down the house jp .? their own heads.

C. ,M, II, II 11,11 I Weights in Union County Checked Up, ; * Measures Are Also Investigated by Inspectors for the State. - Under the direction of Comnjlrtfrity. or B. Harris, inspectors for the Stele Department of Agriculture, mcvce and Industries have Ben Inves. tigating weights and measures In Union county, their report indicating that scmo devices wore found giving incorrect weights. - - - "The inspectors of the Department l cl Agriculture, Commerce and Ind sI tries *haVe recently made an insp^cI * don of the hcales, weights and n\easi urea u?ed by the 'merchants in Union county: 125 scales inspected, 80.correct, 4 condemned for repairs. 2 confiscated; 5 found giving overweight and .28. found.-giving short wight were adjusted -by the inspectors; 27 ^ dry measures inspected- and four*-! correct; 80 yard measures inspected and found correct; 65 weights in. spccted and 39 found incorrect. In;l jpcct'on of gasoline pumps, cotton and coal scales will be tnadc later. "Since the beginning of the weight-, p .nd measures inspection during vho rj pring of 1919., there has been ;? marked improvement in the manner ,? ti.Ut'A *U- 1? i numi m?j wjigiung ana measuring .lev ices are kept. The inspectors hvd paid particular attention to instructing the merchants as to tli? proper y . manner in which to keep their dc it vices in a satisfactory manner so ar? .to insure accuracy, and upon subsequent inspections it was found that the merchants were taking a great n deal of interest as well as pride in trying to keep th 'if devices in such a manner as to insure accuracy. The o inspectors have adjusted thousands of y scales nnd other devices in the stave without any expense to the mer chants, and if is believed that this j branch of the inspection work has benefited the people as much, if not inore, than any other phase of the work. Thousands of dollars have o been saved the merchants and consumers in detecting inaccurate ae vices of all kinds. In a number of H instances scales used in grocery stores have been found giving us much as one pound over weight or one pound under weight on each five d pounds weighed. Thousands of scales have been four.d weighing one to thr^e ounces short on each article weighed due to the scales not being properly adjusted, but the inspectors were able to adjust it at once. Cot ton scales have been found weighing as much as five to ten pounds short y on each bale weighed and these were ^ promptly condemned for repairs. "The inspectors have found num^ bers of merchants in the state who n were using tin eups and liquid meas, ures for measuring dry commodities, e such as peas, beans, grits, onion sets, n etc., nnd this practice was promptly stopped. It was believed that the null jority-of- the mqpchaqts Rising j measures were doing so through igv norance-rather than With the intent t to give short measure, as it had been more of q custom* and they had ngver , - -given it serious thought. When- the * matter was brought to their attention, they were only too glad to disI continue the practice at once. How ' ever, there may be some who did not stop using these measures after the 7 inspectors had left, and this opportunity is taken to notify all the housekeeper's and- others to see that t their dry commodities are properly measured in a dry measure. A better plan would be to have all dry com modities -weighed instead of being ^ measured. n3this is a more accurate ' way "of selling these articles. In-the measuring of articles there is-always ^ a chance of error, as a measure can j be -filled accurately or. the article can ^ be put in'the measure in such a way jvs to be short,, oy it may be "heaped" u i ?and in the iatter instance the meru i chant invariably hues; '-It has beer found that, in sum; sections of' the * state the dy measure has been dis8 carded a'together. %The department . issues a bulletin showing1 weights per T bushel on all- dry commodities and ^ will be sent upo nrequest to any one desiring it. ^ "The inspectors travel over the ens tire state, but on account of having c-nly two inspectors, the inspections L> cannot b? nvule as often as desired.

Cuba may have an op. portunity to view the entry of the Havana Yacht club, Miss Havana, in action. - .. * / According to Rafael Posso, the Havana yachtsman who is representing Cuba in the negotiations for the race, prizes amounting tc $10,000 have been assured through the support given the event by the National Com mission on Encouraging Tourist Travel.
