NEED INTELLIGENT ACTION
Without good food, warm and suitable clothing and shel-
ter against the natural elements, man cannot attain to the best
of which he is eapable, physically, mentally or spiritually.
There is a craving in his nature—his human nature—to satisfy
these needs. Most of his efforts are directed to this end. His
very nature revolts against any WE which would deny him
the privilege of supplying those things which he needs.

Robert B. Ellis, who was
confined to his home several

lis.
Enterprise Mine No. 2 was
tied up Saturday by a strike,
all miners laying down their
tools when the coal company
tried to cut its day men five
cents below the scale.
Few of the townspeople
were present to witness the
disgraceful scene on Merrill's
corner Monday night when a
big bloated “Guy de Parasite”
pounced upon a little school-
boy, beating him up in genu-
ine Prussian style.
The Baltimore and Ohio
steam crane came over from
Somerset Sunday evening to
clear up a wreck on the Ber-
lin branch -.at Burkholder
Curve just east of town, where;
five big hoppers loaded with
black diamonds were derailed
by the branch train about
3:30 p. m. Two of the cars
were dumped over the bank,
the others being rerailed by
9 o’clock Monday morning.
William H. Nichenke has
decided to change his occupa-
tion from mining to carpenter-
ing. With the able assistance
of his eldest son John, he is
busy on the construction of a
stable and garage for Mr.
Humphrey Lehman at pres-
ent, with pretty fair prospects
for steady employment all
summer. The Carpenter of
Nazareth had nothing on

ing a nail or an argument
with an old partyite.

iter an abundance
ib many able bodied
men are denied the privilege to labor an Padd to the material
wealth of the country. Dr. Gann, in ch@¥ge of the “Handicap
Division” in Chicago, on February 12tHestated, that he had
the names and addresses, and a statement of their vocations,
of eleven thousand men in Chicago who Were unable to secure
employment, and that the only reason for their being unable
to secure a job, was that they were forty-five years of age or
over. .
Even in these times, when every resouce of our nation
should be mobilized in the effort to make the world a safe
piace for democracy, some sinister, some evil power, is at work
—the same power that had been at work before the war—
depriving many from producing wealth and sharing equitably
—1I do not mean equally—in the wealth produced.
Some time ago we were told by the gentlemen composing
the Industrial Relations Commission that 2 per cent of the
people are in possession of 60 per cent of the wealth. There
must be some deception at work, there must be some dense
ignorance of affairs, there must be a great lack of intelligens
action among the great masses of the people; they must be
under some hypnotic power, they must be numbed by some
powerful narcotic, for it is aitogether contrary to normal hu-
man nature to allow most of the wealth produced by the col-
lective activity of millions of men to be controlled by 2 per
cent of the population.
‘Intelligent action is needcd to prevent this nation from be-
ing overwhelmed by some great national calamity. The sun-
light of truth must pierce the dense fog of ignorance of condi-
tions, the antidote of intelligence must overcome the numbed,
narcotic, and hypnotic effects of the toxins which poisoned so-
ciety. A corretc method of distribution must be sought—a
method that will be just, a method that will return to the pro-
ducer the just reward for his !.b.r. A method that will give
each man the chance to add to the nation’s resources and share
in proportion to the service rendered.
Upon the intelligent action of the producers of wealth
depends the salvation of the people of this country from the
chains which now bind them in economic slavery. The power
to free themselves is vested in their collective activity—their
co-operation.

pupils made over the average,
but fell below the passing
mark in one branch. We do
not think these two scholars
should be kept in the lower

of their failure to pass in one

AT CAMP LEE
omon Lepley, of Connellsville,
writes from Camp Lee, Va.,
stating that the conditions
there surpassed his expecta-
tions. Everything is-as clean
as a new pin. The boys have
good beds, with bath and
plenty to eat. He did not
know where he would be plac-
ed, but expected to find out
in a few days.
Ulysses Sidney Burke.
The citizens of Garrett and
vicinity were greatly bereaved
to learn of the death Sunday
evening of Ulysses Sidney
Burke, due to a complication
of diseases. Mr. Burke had
suffered for some time and
his death was not unexpected,
although for several months
he was able to be about and
meet his many frinds at his
barber shop in the basement
of the Bank building. Last
summer he went to a Johns-
town hospital to be treated for
for Bright’s disease, returning
home late in the fall some-
what improved. Later, how-
ever, he was afflicted with a
paralytic stroke, which left
him paralyzed in the left side
of his body. Just recently
uremic poisoning of the blood
set in and hastened his death.
Mr. Burke lapsed into uncon-
sciousness Friday evening
about 6:30 o’clock, and died at
8 o’clock p. m. Sunday, April
14th, aged 50 years, one
month and five days.
Sidney, as he was popular-
ly known, was an obliging and
highly respected gentleman.
For the past 19 years he has
conduced a barber shop in
Garrett, always aiming to
please and satisfy his custom-
ers, and he stuck to his post
to his last day with us, not-
withstanding that he was
greatly handicapped by his
afore-mentioned affliction
lately. He is survived by his
widow and the following chil-
dren: Harry, George, Charles,
Celia, Ellen, Dorothy, Lewis,
Verda and Lenora.
Funeral services were held
Wednesday at 2 o’clock by
Rev. Hetrick, of Salisbury.
Jospeh L. Tressler, of Meyers-
dale, was the undertaker in
charge.
