A FITTING TRIBUTE
There was joy in the air both with
in and without the Elks' Hall last
night. A large concourse of rep
resentative Alexandrians had gath
ered to do honor to one of the city's
noblest sons, Hon. ('. (\ Carlin,
who during a period of twelve years
represented the Alexandria district
in the House of Representatives.
Th ovation was ex animo, enthusi
asm being manifest in ev;-ry soul in
the large auditorium. The people
had come- together to make a sub
stantial exhibition of their appreci
ation of Mr. Carlin's services dur
ing the time he was their represen
tative and at a time when our old
city is forging rapidly ahead by
reason of the great plants brought
to Alexandria through his labors.
Though no longer our Congressman,
monuments commemorating his
services are already Alexandria in
stitutions and will be looked upon
with pride by "other generations
who will rise up and proclaim bles
sed the man who gave such im?
petus to the city of his birth.
:A handsome gold watch arid chest
of silver were tendered Mr. Carlin.
The presentation speech was made
j by Mr. M. B. Harlow, who succss
| fully vied with Mr. Carlin in bring
ing about the metamorphosing of
Alexandria by doubling the popula
tion of the city and affording re
numerative positions to thousand?
?of artisans.
Mr. Carlin's response was from
the soul, although as is. the case
with all of us at times, he was' vir
tually unable to frame language to
properly express his appreciation of
his Alexandria friends. Among
other things he said he was anxious
to do more for his own city. While
no longer in Congress, these words
mean much, as our former Repre
sentative is in a position to look out
for commercial interests, an;l that
he will avail himself of every op
portunity to augment the work he
has 30 faithfully performed goes
without saying.
A pleasant feature of the ova
tion was the presence of Attorney
General A. Mitchell Palmer, who
delivered an interesting talk.
Among other things Mr. Palmer
suggested that our people should
begin now to lay aside their jennies
to tbuy a silver service for Mr. C'ar
lin when he takes his seat in the
Governor's chair.
Judge .1. K. M. Norton voiced
?I he sentiments of the audience in a
brief but appropriate talk in which
he lauded the work of Mr. Carlin
both in and out of Congress.
The ovation was under the auspi
ces of the Cameron Club, and each
number upon the program was
conducted with precision.
?<>i;tsu)e the pale ok the
LAW."
It may be taken for granted that
the strike of the soft coal miners
cannot be carried on for long, says
Uie Philadelphia Inquirer. "No
great strike can succeed without
public approval, and the attitude of
the coal leaders is one of utter con
tempt. for the law, of defiance of
public sentiment, of the scrapping
of their own contracts.
'In the face of the appeal of Pres
icicnt Wilson, the miners' leaders
have proceeded to order the hold
up. not only of the operators. . but
the public in general. In* dojng &n
they are, according to Attorney
General Palmer, "outside the pale
of the law."
'"Hire. then, is a strike that starts
under the cloud of illegality and of
broken contracts-?a strike which,
; * - ? : ?*. .
could it succeed, would before lob'?
menace the. entire nation. Without
coal, railroads cannot^un; -tyitf/mi-lls

hundred of thousands of workers
nit of the miners' organization they
Ii; vv n<? regard. They would ?t:;rve.
ths country if they could.? But
public sentiment will be too strong
for them."
WASTING OTHERS' TIME'
?Ir.w much of other people's time
dc you waste in a day? There are
plenty of ways of doing it. As a
ccntemporary says, "Not. a soul
that comes in contact with others
bt.i lias a chance to waste their
llr.u. The clerk who takes forever
lo wrap up a package: the passen
gt;? who consumes half a minute in
I st.-pping aboard a street car; the
i . vit car conductor who opens the
; wrong door or who kill.; your 1">
minutes of mqdii'ation by his whist
ling; the guest who is late or early
one is as ; inconsiderate1 as the
other; the worker who quits 10 min
ut e too soon, so as to be ready for
i I he strefet when the whistle' biows:
i the employer who chooses 'a busy
Ik isr for one of those "conferences"
| which are usually a monologue
.|.ok-,n by himself; the clubwomrin
i who defies all the "parliamentarism
in t'ie world with her chatter: the
! travi ler who holds up the line at
: the ticket window with ;; series of
i h inquiries; the caller in imsi
I ness hours who has nothing to do
j and has decided to do it in your of
j- fice; yourself.^when others are wait
I ing for you and you might easily
! have been ready?there is no end
| to the jvaysj' o? waste, and nearly
everyone is yruiltv of them."
