yard Here ing to The your take "NUB" WRIES HIS VI[WS Mr. Editor: Knowing as I do that you are an advocate of law, order, and goed gov ernment, I do not feel embarrassed when I ask for space in your valuable - columns to express my views on soie of the problems that now confront our people. In the first place, I desire to say that I believe a very large majority of this country's citizens. heartily agree with our great president, when he saidl a few wveeks ago, that even th~ought the armistice had been signedl almost a year, we wvere neither at war nor at peace, but in rgreat crisis. VWhen we re'ad daily of the awful amnd appalling tragedies that are taking pilace, it certainly does appear to the writer, that ii there ever was a time of unrest among our lpeop~le it is to (lay. There have been ana still are indli cations whbich point to maiagree'ments between capital and labor, ndl wvith the power which lies w ;th the labor unions, !sminufacturing industries have been tied up, from time to time, to time, on account of strikes, which have greatly handicapped the ship ping facilities of the tail road world, as wvell as keeping off the market thousands of articles need?(d for var ious causes all over the land and coun try. Not that the writer is opposed to labor unions, or in too great sympta thy with the capitalists, but with each of these forces as wvell orga'nized-as they .should be it doees seem plausible that an agreement could be reached before a strikhe t akos place and the great industrial ('nterprises are all closed downi. I long to see thle day come when (aitalI and lahoa shall go hand anrd pence, harmony a nd good will shall prevail between there two. Trhen there is a not her siitat ion alI most too appall inig to me ntion. TPhis is the great number of r'ace riots tak ing place. D~urinrg the per'iod of the great wvat', whiichi has not been so long closedl, wvhen many, many gallant sobl diers weret' killed anrd somiet imes(, no doubt, inniocenit wonten an c11tbhidreit were shot down, we thought this per' fectly awf'ul, andl it was, and ntot willing to tr~ust outr arims all together, millions andi mill ions of ourti A meri-i ennti people', as wvellI as the pltel of all the allied nat ions wvent on thleit' knees before Almiiighty God, ptleadling for a spteed(ly ('tid of that great con flict. 'Tis n(edless to say wvhat the result was. Now how can we, as a Ch ristian people, believe that such conditions will longer e-xist? Preach er, teachet', Chrtistian men and Chris tiqn wvomen, wh ite' andl coloreCd let' us remembe' what the Goodt Book says, "Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth." IAet us be meek in dealing wit h this prtoblemi and slow to anger, or we fear we shall have to forfeit the great name we have so* long cherished, "'Cht'ist ian Amneric'a."
