WARS PRESENT AND
FUTURE.
While pacifi.sts talk of peace and
try to get our government to forbid
the e.xport of war materials, the
world goes merrily on making war
and buying the makings.
Only recently Persia placed an
order with us for machine guns and
other material which could have
gone elsewhere, and the money with
rt. China has placeil an order for
$25,000,000 worth of ammunition
from a British firm, which is $25,-
000,000 worth of raw material and
wages and new wealth to England
^ no matter how you figure. Japan
spent $8,000,000 with f'rance.
That Persia figures it might have
a war with England over some oil
leases she has canceled, or that
China might want to kill oif a few
of the Japanese messing up her
country, or vice versa, goes without
saying. China today is the best ex
ample the world has ever had of a
nation which has adopted ways of
peace and then paid for it by being
cut to pieces.
But why be carried away with a
pious wish ? The people who want
to fight are going to fight, and
someone is going to sell them the
arms. The only way to make these
warring factions let up on each
other would be for some one to go
over there and hand them a good
trimming, which would be war in
any language, and wasting rather
than earning money.
Taking the entire international
situation in this 15th year of so-
called peace, we have the following-
wars actually going on: Bolivia vs.
Paraguay; Peru vs. Columbia; Japan
-ys. China; and France vs. desert
tribes.
We also have the following pow
der kegs with matches already light
ed and causes designated; Germany
vs. Persia (oil); England vs. India
(independence); France vs. Germa
ny and Itlay (fear and jealousy);
and of the Balkan States against
almo-t any of the others (general
cu.ssedne.ss); Kussia vs Japan (Man
churia); U. S. vs. Japan (control
of Pacific); Moros vs. Tagalogs in
Philippines (religion); Finland vs.
Russia (communism); Poland vs.
Ru'Sia (hatred); Poland vs. Lithua
nia (jealousy).
With all the.se potential customers,
why send the arms trade next
door ?

NORTH CAROLINA
ELECTION METHODS
(“.Aristocrat” In Greensboro
Daily News)
A curious thing of statewide im
portance has happened in Surry
county. 'I'he attorney general of
the state came to the conclusion aft
er careful investigation that six
men in that county ought to be in
dicted for fraudulent manipulation
of the primary election in Surry
county. Mr. Bi-ummitt not only
brought the charge of fraud but
named the men w-hom he considered
guilty and asked the grand jury to
indict them. The grand jury refused
to comply with his request on the
ground that such irregularities have
become common in the counties of
the state. In other words nothing
could be done about it since grave
election- irregularities have become
common in most of the counties.
The irregularities listed embrac
ed the voting of persons who could
not be located, people who had
been absent six years or more and
those who testified that they voted
in person in distant counties. The
Surry grand jury declared that they
could not see their w-ay clear to in
dict the men of their county for
stealing an election or attempting
to steal it while other counties were
tolerating the same thing.
The gentlemen of^ the grand jury
were probably prepared to prove
their statement if called on to do
it. The attorney general deserves
credit for exposing the methods em
ployed in the conduct of elections in
Surry county. The methods employ
ed in Buncombe county were thor
oughly exposed by Dr. R. F. Camp

voting he said: “These absentees
did not vote, they were voted
through the corruption of the ballot
by the ring. No medium w-as pres

how they w-anted their votes cast.”
The 60 prohibition agents in Madi

SORE THROAT!
Any little soreness in the throat grows rapidly worse if
neglected. Crush some tablets of genuine Bayer Aspirin
in some water, and gargle at once. Thi.s gives you instant
relief, and reduces dangertrom infection. One good gargle
and you can feel safe. If all soreness is not gone promptly,
repeat. There’s usually a cold with the’isore throat, so
before gargling take two tablets to throw off your cold,
headache, stiffness or other cold symptoms. Bayer
Aspirin relieves neuralgia, neuritis, too. You may use it
freely, it does not hurt the heart. ^
