What is Social Service. W.T.Ellis. A worse case of confusion of labels than the misuse and misunderstand- ing of “Social Service”can scarcely be imagined.On the one hand,a small but vocal number of persons are as meaning adhesiun to the latest fad for social amelioration.Often these ardent radicals confound an interest in the thing which they call “Social Service”with the real.doing of so- cial service for their fellow men. These are the ones who _have brought the phrase into a measure ‘of disrepute.' On the other hand,there are a host of earnest Christians who look ask- ance at “Social Service”as something modern and almost pagan.They do hot see that social service is merely more of what the Church of Christ has -been doing -throughout--all—the ages,making ovef the:order /6f hu- man society,to conform more ¢loselytothestandardssetbyJesus..Help- ing the man who.has fallen among near future. .Rev.L.2,Gwaltney was.called to yo to Davis chureh,Wednesday to conduct »the funeral of Rev,A.M.Petinell. ‘The Oxford Orphanage Binging Class will he here under the waspices of StonyPointLodgeNo.593 Saturday night,anil on give an éntertainment at theMethodistchurch.Admission Mr.Josiph M.Reece,editor ofpthe»Greensboro,Record,is desperately _illdhotexpectedto-recover.His ill-‘is-hardening of the arteries. i te nae! «|lowing the example of Jesus among 15 and fi thieves is social service;visiting the sick and the prisoner and the father- less is social service.Offering a cupofcoldwaterissocialservice.Fol- men’is social’service.Farning the|“Inasmuch”is social service.And social service is also Christian pa-triotism.,_Doing.what Jesus.avould doorourcountryandcountrymenmaybecalledbymanynames;but it is’)the essence of loyalty .to «national|j ideals, The-next_spring’“all theckinfolk-got4.

Senator Lafolttette. Mr,LaFollette spoke regarding the Americangovernment-and-its futare, He began with the Declaration of In-dependence 139,yeais ago and fol- lowed it until the present time..He told of the seven years’fight for lib- erty 139 years ago.how the country Was poor,no treasury nor purse.to draw from and or!y-3,000,000 to 4,-000,000 people.Waeshington’s’armyhadonlyonemuskeitoeveryseven men and the rest fought,almost naked .and starving.with whatever’ weapons they could get.They fought that their.children might.have liber-y.Then came the problem of how to establish governmert to secure it, It.was to be a perfected democracy. Each man was to have the ballot to elect some one to represent him. That was all ‘right until something came between the representative and the people he was to represent.For the first 50 years this plan worked fine but before another 50 years in- fluence to corrupt hbefan to appear. Corporation influence began to be felt on legislation.‘ne people’s rep- resentatives were noc approached in the open but the corrupt influence was brought abovt in,committee rooms and hotel rooms.There is enough loyalty among the people now to fight an open foe out it is the se- o jcret foe they can not get at.This cor- rupt..influence runs all through local as well as'national legislation. »For 75 or 80 yeurs after the gov- ernment was established business was transacted by individvals or partner- ship.Mines of coal,copper and iron were found.Individuals and partner- ships could not finance the onening of these storehouses of wealth.Anewwaytodothishadtobefound. So eorperations sprangy up and this was the greatest thing that ever han-pened for materia}Jevelopment.In a material way we -progressed byleapsandbounds.‘ndividuals and partners never had’to appeal to Leg-iplatures.and lobbies nut corporationsdid.,This was all right until corpora- tions;saw.that #f they could get otherlegislationit.would he of great’befit-fit to them and so on until we have the evil influence cf legislation todealwith. Until 1898 supply,demand and competition fixed prices.Since then combinations of the same _line-of manufacture fix them and the neces-saries of life have about doubled,inprice.The cost of nanufacture bymachineryislessthanbyhandbut the price of .products is higher,The people have stood foe this heretofore because theirs is a !and of plenty but they are going to rebel before many yeats and bring the governmert backtothepeople.Where we had 1,200 competing lines -of railroad in theUnitedStateswenavenowsixsys- tems owned by 8 men.Every hoursince1898freightrates.have .gone higher when naturarty they should have gone lower.In 1901 there were 149 unlawful combinations,8.664 in1904,10,020 in 190&‘There will nev- er be a free government as long.as the people do not contro!their own markets.Great corporations are con- trolling our natural resources.The Senator spoke of +he—vast—savine—to the people of Wisconsin by the State regulating the public service corpora- tions,If they will ot stand for reg- ulation he favors the government owning and operating public service corporations.Bring competition back is the best regulation of prices.This is a very incomplete summary of -Senator —Lalo!ette’s address,which was listened to attentively by a good audience,Prof.Noble Crowded Out.

It is a matter for surprige that the Ee:excitement and ‘stress incident to the ‘Buropean war had not ere this pro- .duced a crank who,would attempt a déed of yiolence..Mr.Morgan,on ac- count of his,prominence and wealth, was a shining mark for that class; and the.wonder is that an.at- tempt has not been made on the life of the President:The worst thing about these incidents,however,.is _that there is no effectual war to’pat an end to them. Eo ‘ 'Tt was recently decided.that the report of the destruction by dynamite of the monument to Dr.Elisha Mitch- ell,on Mt.Mitchell Jast winter,was an error;that the monument,a hol- low metal shaft,had been gradually weakened by the elements and final- ly collapsed.Members of the State Press Association who visited Mt. ,Mitchell’last.Friday:examined the pieces of the monument and are of the opinion that the last theory is correct.The character of the monu- ment was such that it is a surprise that it stood so long in’the fierce gales that’blow on Mt.Mitchell. A former member of theColorado _Legislature was indicted for perjury, it “heing alleged that he gave false “testimony before a grand jury,When the case came to trial the judge or- dered an acquittal,upholding.the contention.of!the.defendant that a false statement before a grand jury did not constitute perjury.There may be something unoxplained in the press dispatches,which makes this »decision technically correct.-Certain- ly it would -seem-that-a-witness should be held to as strict an account for statements before a grand jury as for his evidence at the regular trial,But there if no accounting for the things that are diesivercd in law courts.

The public reeeption room in the Senate.wing of the Capitol building at Washington was wrecked just before midnight Friday ‘night,by an explos- jon,apparently a bomb set for the pur- pose. No one was hurt and so far as Wash- ington is concerned there is only one -elueto the perpetrator—a letter which was received by the Washington Times; an evening newspaper,bearing‘a post- mark timed shortly before the explosion took place and announcing that it would occur.The letter,although,writ+ ten June 1,was mailed dt 10 o’elock _Friday night,about two hours before the explosion.It was signed by ‘‘R.

MORE HELP NEEDED. The Landmark a few years ago submitted some remarks on the fail- ure of the Presbyterians’to properly support their orphanage at Barium and to provide the comforts and con- veniences demanded.Those .same re- ‘marks started a controversy which attracted the attention of the State, but a controversy which The Land- mark believes—without claiming:any special eredit for itself—resulted in great and lasting good to the orphan- “age,by arousitig those who did not know the situation,and by shaming those who.did know,to greater ac- tivity in behalf,of the orphanage. 4All this is preliminary to saying that The Landmark has no purpose to start another contyoversy,but in ~the interest of the orphanage and the work it is doing,it is directing the at- tention of those who feel an interest -GERMANY’S ANSWER. xthe ‘German reply tothe American note isdisappointing.The reader will Hind the note on another page of The: Landmark today,: Germany proposes,‘it will i seen, 9Ito guarantee that‘American ships will =|not be hinderedin the prosecution of jagithioate shipping and that the lives of American citizens on neutral .ves- sels shall not be placed in jeopardy.
