Howdy. Mr. Watermelon! Next stop: Labor Day-- first Monday in September, the 6th. After the war is over European ruins will be a drug on the market. We have with us this week Miss Minerva and William Green fill. Hold on to your "jobs," boys; the "positions" will come with bette- times. "The bear that walks like a man" has quit it and is now running like a scared jack rabbit. If a mail's hand were twelve inches long it would be a foot, wouldn't it? Anderson Mail. We'd call it a ham. Kaiser Bill says he wants a place in the sun. He can have our sunny spot as soon aswe can find a cool, shady one. Anderson Mail says some people have watermelon on the brain. Thn t's better than having just plain branch water on it. "Whv do you pay rent?'" tks a real I estate man inl his ai. [ecause it is cheaper to pay the man than it is to move. 0 Many of our exchanges are argyfyin' about the lusciousnessa of cherry pie. Guess they never tasted huckleberry or w blueberry pie. h e. According to a Chicago doctor a right smart little jag can be gotten by eating t alfalfa-grass! Pass a law! One bale of hay a month is enough! It has been shown that Mackenson is a Scotchman, Huerts is an Indian, Villa i is a nigger, and now they are trying to a make an Irishman of Zapata! 1) s Kitchener said the war would com- a mence ill tile good old summer time. <d But the Russians are of the opinion that P it has about ende&L for them.d The Sentinel would suggest that some e of its exchtanges send a can-opener along with each issue or not use so much paste. it's impossible to get into some of 'eml otherwvise. G;erman~y is in for' it now, sure! The little rep~ublic of San Marino, with a I population of about 9,000 and an army (I of less thani 1,000, has declared war against Germany. Austri-Hungary and Turkey.a A news item says Secretary Lansing has "returned to the duties of his office after an absence of two weeks" Now, if' Mr. Bryan had been on the job what a howl would have been set up by a lott newvspap~ers we could mention! WVe had a poem in our system for this week, but we also had the doctor shoot us with someC typhoid anti-toxin, and the blame stuff has eradicated the poem as wvell as the tever. Which gives us *an idea that some fellow could render a *;reat service to mankind by discover ing a poetry anti-toxin. The problem of what to do with Mex ican ex-presidents has been partially solved, at least. Uncle Sam has put one of them in jail, and that seems to be a very desirable way to get rid of ulndesirables. If he would only reach out now and grab the rest of them per haps the fuss down there would come to an end. "Virginia justice" still has teeth in it. A rich young man has been sent to jail in Richmond for involuntary manslaugh ter. Hie and a young woman were joy riding at a great spee~d wh'en the ma chine collided with another, causing the death of the young woman. "Justice John" Crutchfield of the Richmond city court is no respecter of persons, rich or poor. We love the cows-and chickens, We like the big townilife;' | But we'd rather dwell in Pickens With a North Carolina wife. OUR WEEKLY RIDDLE.-Why is a real estate man not a man of wvords?% Because he is a man of deeds.

Yet, ineredible as it may seem, we have be. fore us the sorry spectacle of the recent ection of the iloston Central Labor union in adopting a resolution which calls oi organie(Litabor to oppose the passage of the ilobson-Sheppard bill for natlon-wide prohibition of the liquor traffic. This central labor union, which represents the Dentralized authority and speaks for the feder. sted labor organizations of iostson, bases its tetion squarely on the ground that the abolition if the d istilleries, breweries and saloons would hrow a large number of laborers out of em. )loynent, and that nsiious argument is the sait by which the whiskey trust, the brewery I onilne and the grogshop interests have caught Iis labor organization and Rre trying to enlist ll- suptiort of others throughout the country. It is the most cruelly selfish appeal that was !ver ntide. besides being absolutely faliacious is will appear (m close scrutiny. I fear no con' radiction inl isserting that no man has a moral -ight to make the destruction of other men his neans of aubsistence. Must we, then, as a wople. forever submit to all the poverty, mis ry, disease, crime and loss of lifle that intoxi atitng liquor (ausies in order to enrich a few nen ami furnish employiment to some others? As a purely economic proposition. iguoring he moral aspect. It would be far cheaper for lie nation to support these men in idleness at heir lceesent profits or wages than to have hen employed in the manufacture and sale of his deatructive product for which the people of this country pay one billion and seven hun lred and twenty-four million dollars a year, to othing of the inealculable millions of loss and lamage they smuaer by drinking it. llut the abolition of the liquor business in 'olves no oroblen of idle capital or unemploy nent of labor. Although the aggregate sum vhich the people pay for the product is enor nous, the liquor industry employs compara ively few menl, and the greater part of this ,tupeiiondis sum thiat goes seach year for liquor is pail by laboring nien who aire complaining )f low wiages anIl the high cost of living, and their wives siani chilIren lave to suffer needless srivation of foool. slothing an:I other comforts C am coIse0uewle of tho mien mis-spending their age, for drink. not to mention the detrimen. iil effest sin their earninag capacity. isbsh liiuor from thie nation' and these one lhosusnd, seven hundred and twenty-four Mil lows of dollars watsted, and worse than wasted, itch year for Intoxieating drink would be ex enlled for more and better food, clothing and aci r sentnfort- anti luxuries, includine amuse. eaats atut better lomesCs. TO supply this im ensely inisreiased demaand for provisions and s(isof tll kiids wotsld require the builing 'thoulsaislas of new factories and give employ. eat to millions of laborers more than are now nylooyed, which would easily absorb all labor 14i capiltal now itl the liquor business.

We ould soon be the busiest, healthiest, happiest ad most prosperous people oat earth and better ania the world has ever seen. A million is said to be beyond the comprehen rnu of the human mind. A billion, whiet is thousand millions, conveys no Idea except a tgue impression of immensity. So to trans arm the prodigious figures of the annual quor bill of the American people into think >le terms let us see what this ioney would ay if,exp.ended for other.purposes. If applied to the ntaioanal debt of the 'nllied lates it would lift the government out of debt td letvet a surplus of more than live million rllars in the trrasury.
