Tuesday night the Firemen’s band will give a public reception ball at the Hippodrome to raise money to take the organization south. Civic pride demands that every citizen attend and take the ladies. ~ MOVES AS ONE MAN Nghe you have to admire German militar- ism for being right on the spot and for the ease with which it makes every German a part of its business of war. The latest in point is the taking control of the textile industries by the army authorities. These authorities, needing cotton for explosives, have sim- ply ordered the factories not to put cotton into goods approaching the character of luxuries, and the same action is to be taken as to wool, flax and hemp. Germany is surely giving the world a demon- stration of perfect national unity, if nothing else. Outbursts of Everett True RUNNING FOR OMFKS — > MY FRIGND; Me ROA | | REMEMBER! | REMEMBER!

Nor is Georgia alone among the states in this connivance at sexual crimes against children. North Carolina also constitutes herself an accessory before the fact in all attacks on little girls by placing the age of consent at 10. encourages and fosters the very once committed, permits Southern glut its lust of blood. By so doing a state promotes, offense which, “chivalry” to Georgia and North Carolina alone are gibbeted before public opinion in placing the age of consent at 10.

WHITE MEN COME IN HANDY, SOMETIMES HE other day an interesting ceremony took place on the steamer Dolphin just before she left her berth for southeastern Alaska. A gold watch and chain were presented to Victor Peterson, a sailor, for heroism in saving the life of one of the vessel’s passengers, Miss Helen Kepner of Denver, Colo., at Haines, Alaska. In connection with this appreciation of a sailor’s efficiency, this thought occurs: Would one of Robert Dollar’s cheap-wage, poorly-fed Lascar or Chinese sailors have risen to the emergency as did the union sailor, Peterson? Yet, in the attack on the seamen’s bill by Rob- ert Dollar and his kind, the plea is really made for ignorant, poorly paid, and comparatively inefficient Chinese sailors on the Pacific. To the Robert Dollars one might cite the case of the “Rio Janeiro,” In which the Chinese crew, un- able to handle the boats, was responsible for the drowning of passengers. The centrast between the “Rio Janeiro” case and Sailor Peterson's splen- did example is a vital argument for the principles involved in the Seamen's law, which is meant to give the sailor living conditions and thus insure greater safety for passengers, too. THE THING which can’t be done, is merely that which gives the live wire his opportunity.
