WEDNESDAY, APRIL 9, 1919 THE CANONSBURG DAILY NOTES PAGE TWO CITIZENS TRUST Daily Notes: Classified Adver. i RATES IN OUR SHOE DEPARTMENT We Are Offering this Week day in that same city of Chicago, the price of eggs advanced. This gives point to this remark by the New Orleans States, that it is obvious How tc the American people that food prices are not governed by the law of supply and demand but by tae law of greed. This talk concerning President Wilson leaving Paris before the treaty of peace which is to contain a constitution for the League of Nations, has been completed does not sound right to us. President Wilson is no quitter.

Lowell. rVVVD7TESDAY, APRIL 9, 1919 IMMIGRATION AND PROHIBITION Some think that the fact that this country io to be dry on and after July 1st will tend to 'keep, down the number of immigrants who will seek homes across the seaa now that the war is over. But, it will hardly do that.

The foreign-born are probably not much more firmly tied to the booze cart than hie native-born. The people from Southwestern Europe do not come to the United States in order to- find drin'c tliey have plenty of drink at home but for other and more important reasons; chief among which is to get on in the world, and in the hopes that their children may have a better chance than they themselves had when they were youngsters. No, The Notes does not believe that prohibition will put a stop to immigration. PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE The public school is the in which to counteract the false teachings that are being', taught by the forces cf disaster thruout the country, saj-3 the Harrisburg Telegraph. A little less attention to non-essential studies and a little more concentration cn the elemental principles of political economy and the United States government would help greatly.

No voter can exercise the functions of the ballet intelligently unless he knows the fundamentals of government and any man who does not have this knowledge is at the mercy of the first disciple of revolution who crosses his path. THE MAN WITH A CONSCIENCE. One man in speaking with us of the high cost of living assures us that some producers do not believe that butter and eggs are worth what they have been receiving for them for some months past. He himself was offered $1.25 a 1 for eggs but would not 'accept it, not because it was not enough, but because it was too much. This man is a good man, few better, and his word passes at one hundred per.

cent with us. Our thought is: How it come3 with such men among us we. still Jjave people so pessimistic -as to hold that the world is getting worse. MICHIGAN REFUSES TO MODIFY The attempt to modify prohibition in Michigan so as to permit of the sale of light wines, and beer "failed by above 100,000 majority. The ma- jority was larger than that which wa3 had at the time Michigan went dry, several years age.

This does not indicate the reaction in public sentiment the wets have all along been predicting would set in once the pecple of a state were without their toddy, long enough for them to become dried out clear thru. OLE BREIRi FOG IN THE VALLEY Olc Brer Fog tromped thru the Valley this mornin'. His ccat of gray was wringin wet; but the moisture was good for the grass, the wheat and the." Little Onion in his bed. Come again, Brer Fogg, but not tpo frequent, for sure you and Old Sol are not good friends. We need" yon both, and are sorry that you can never visit, together, walkin' arm in arm, as it were, The bill to comuH fishermen, with the exception of women and children and persons fishing on their own lands, to- pay a tax of $1.00 a year failed in the Legislature.

The point was made against it that it would not be right to compel a person who took one fish out of a stream to pay a fine and costs, while manufacturers and coal operators are permitted to poison the waters of streams and 'iUU fish by the thousand, and no one be able to say bcoh! to them. The oilier (lay ever 73,000 cases of eggs were received in Chicago. It was the largest one-day shipment. In the history of the city.

OWA' C-riLL will bring the treaty of peace wiin him; and that it will contain provio-ion for the League of Nations. The Philadelphia Press in noting the fact that Missouri, the state whose people have long had the reputation of having to be shown has granted presidential suffrage to women, says the fair sex can afford to reduce their pace and slow down somewhat in their campaigning. A little patience is all that is needed now; the road is clear for votes for women. And it is a fact.

It is well for courts to temper Justice with Mercy, but it is a question whether mercy shown habitual violators of the law which provides punishment for persons found guilty of running automobiles while intoxicated is not a mistake. It does not appear as tho it was properly taking care of the rights of the people, and this should be the first consideration. If some of the sleek, well-fed guys who -run around over the country mis representing the press all in the sacred name Of reform had not received so much free advertising from the slandered newspapers the people suiltv. cf the offense would have lean er bank accounts than they have at present. Government reports indicate the largest wheat crop this country ever produced.

We state this fact now in order that pessimists may be able to begin in time to worry about how we are going to be able to harvest this record-breaking crop of the grain from which is manufactured the of life. An exchange remarks concerning the "small but effective way" in which the United States took part in the war. Our way was not small, whether viewed from the standpoint of man power or of finances that it was effective the world knows. The United States never goes at big jobs in "a small way." The men who control the output of yellow; pine give the "feign" cost of labor as the reason why the price of lumber cannot be reduced. Wonder if these gentlemen would be willing to publish a list of the wages paid the Southern black men who work in tho logging camps and in their saw mills? Seme people who are talking of the awfully high wages paid steel workers do, not have anything to say about the great profits reaped by the steel manufacturers during the war- yes, and long before the war came on.

Soldiers of the late war are to or ganize the American Legion. 4 OLD miEBALLOT Dungee shows The Noies a Republican ballot printed for the primaries in this county in 1896. The voting for candidates that year was on Saturday, April 11. Each party at that time printed its own tickets, and the one at hand is a long narrow strip, altogether unlike the official ballots of today. This was before The Legislature had enacted the Baker ballot law, whereby tho State supplies the ballots.

E. F. Acheson and John P. Eber-hart were the candidates for Con gress in the Twenty-fourth" District in 1896. Dr.

John B. Donaldson was a candidate for delegate to the Re publican National Convention; John Add Mcllvaine was running for the nomination for Judge of the Court of Common Pleas to succeed himself. The year 18 evidently was a great one for candidates, for on the old ballot at hand appeary the names of sixty men. "Ten of these were out for the Legislature, seven for dele gate to the State Convention, six for Commissioner, five for County Treas urer, five for Coroner. Several Canon aburger's names appear on the Vallot J.

J. VanEman for Treasurer, MY C. Wilson for Auditor, and t)r. Alexander, Canons-burg, and A. W.

Cummins, chartiers, for delegate to the State Convention. Alex Speer and David Praul were members of tire, local vigilance committee, while the delegates from Oan-onshurg to the 'Republican county convention were Alex McMorran; Tnomas Reese, Thomas Chambers, Alex. McCloy and John Coslett. TEXTILE STRIKERS RIOT April 9. An other serio i's riot in the textile strike broke out here early today in the Syrian mlate.1.

We knew a father who received a black eye from a black-sheep son. The trouble with ourv common school education is that it has been directed from the tower of the college rather than from a stat on the ground.

But no excitement attendee! the observance cf the anni- versa? y. Wherein it differed if row this date On April 9, twenty years ago, Homer was with the Fighting Tenth Regiment in the Philippines, and he determined to observe his birthday in a fitting manner. Slipping away frcm his comrades, Homer engineered a personally conducted raid, and scon was back in cdmp with nine prisoners The were Filipino chickens.

FOOT NOTES We, do not know just how many pecple here like to ride on the water wagon; but a trip on the new fire, wagoa seems to be greatly appreciated. Optimism, a spade and the right sort of seeds form a combination that goes a long way toward making a good garden. If everybody were educated the collar and glove factories couldn't keep up with their orders, and, there wouldn't be anybody to do what is commonly called rough Let Good Feeling Prevail One of the worst features of industrial unrest is the feeling of suspicion the part of labor toward capital. The agitator has felt that his job depends "upon keeping alive, thid spirit of antagonism, and he has assiduously fanned the flames. One cf our readers who is deeply interested in overcoming industrial unrest has written of a successful plan to promote a better feeling between employer and In the days when shops were small, when the 'employe? worked with his men or was personally acquainted and in, close touch with them, strikes were almost unknown The problem of industry cn large scale is to restore, as far as possible, this personal relationship.

It is based on better acquaintance and the effort on the part of employer and employe to solve the problems of industry not separtely tut to-, gether. Our correspondent tells of three ways this is done in his plant. First, by having helpful talks on live topics 'by representativ men at the noon Second, by a weekly letter to the men, Avith a part always of the data furnished by the men them selves. Third, by seeking in all con tact, with the men to promote mutual understanding, forbearance and confidence. This is not paternalism, but co-operation based upon mutual re spect" for the other man's point of Jewish Passover Near Jews the world over will celebrate the feast of the Passover during -the eight days beginning Monday.
