Everyone wonders what the world'is coming to, except
those who have hay fever, and they don't give a dum.
Forgetting the past is all right, but too many people
are disposed to forget the future. Nothing about the fu
ture is certain but it is certain to be largely influenced by
the? activities and plans of the present.
- business is good in Union county, especially on a basis
comparative with other communities. An unintentional in
jury'js often done, however, by the chronic jwssimist who
greets everyone with the remark that "business is rotten."
Pessimism breeds where optimism might as readily appear.
Both' are contagoous.

PASSING OK 12-HOUR DAY.
i Two years ago John D. Rockefeller, Jr., speaking before
'employes of the Standard Oil company, described the 12
houj working day and seven-day working week as "un
ecojiomic and anti-social, hence bad business." Thus did
. he predict tho recent action of the Standard Oil company
Jin pdopting the eight-hour day in the oil fields, and that
vasjthe only hint of the forthcoming action. It was a--liouijccd
with dramatic suddenness, without strife or con
'tioVfersy and by agreement of all parlies concerned,
j Shortly before his death President Harding said: "I
would be proud indeed iT my administration were marked
by tjhe final passing of the 12-hour day in American life."
The! step taken by the Standard Oil company would have
given him great satisfaction just as it is of extreme satis
fuctfon to the public.
There is no quarrel in this country as to (he advisability
of tie eight-hour day. This ancient controversy .between
employer and employe has been decided for all time. The
actiun of the steel industry in adopting the shorter work
ing! day was of great influence, more because the decision
wasj voluntary than because of what it accomplished.
tabor has done ninth toward making the eight-hour
day; economically feasible by producing more per hour dur
,ing;thc shorter day than under the old 12-hour shift.

' !; COM- STRIKE THREAT.
Beginning more than a decade ago the threat of coal
strides has returned every summer as regularly as hay
rover and this year is no exception. The threat now hang's
meiiiicingly over the nation with little being done appar
ently to remove it.
Tavo years ago there was the usual danger of a coal
strike with its -onsetiienl hardships to the public and in
dustrial demoralization and a commission was named to
Investigate. The invest igatimi was completed and a reKitt,
containing five specific icfommcmlatiims, was filed.
jlad they been given a trial or even considered the rec
omiltendations of the coal commission might have accomp
lished .something, but before the commission had completed
its work the operators and miners had settled their differ
ences, the public lost interest in the coal problem und the
government adopted the philosophy of tl. Arkansas farmer
who never patched the leaky n.of of his house because he
couldn't when it rained ami it wasn't necessary when it
wasn't raining.
There is the probability that there is nothing that ca.i
be done to prevent the recurrence of the coal' strike threat,
but.it must bo plain to all that if anything can be done it
should be attempted at some other time than when a state
of ir.'ar exists between the operators and minors and, pos
hibly, the consuming public, as a vitally interested third
party. .
