THE WORLD S HOLIDAY.
Rejoicing came spontaneously
when it was flashed to the four
i|uarters of the globe that, in the
young hours of Monday, Novem
ber 11, Germany hail signed the
armistice terms promulgated by
the Allied War Council.
Throughout the civilized world
it was the signal for celebrating
the downfall of autocracy atul the
enthronement of democracy —the
sweeping away of caste and the
finding for millions the privilege
of taking a just part in the gov
ernment by which they will be
governed.
November the 11th will be the
one day next to the day celebrat
ed as the birthday of the Immac
ulate that tho world can in com
mon celebmie as the day of world
liberation.
It marks an epoch in the world's
history—a veritablr red letter day
that will go down in history to
the farthest reaches of the human
family.
No evynt in human ylstory
has been proclaimed so gladly
by and among so many peoples.
November tho 11th will be the
world's common holiday in com
memoration of liberation from au
tocracy and tho ending of the
bloodiest and most brutal and
haartlens war ever waged.
THE WAR OVER
When Germany accepted the Allied
armistice terms it meant that - the
fighting had ended ; that the Ger
man military spirit that started
forth for world-power a little lets#
than four and a half years ago was
broken, shattered and scattered.
The actual fighting is over, but
tho task of creating governments for
tho unchained nations ih a big one
that will tix the wisdom of the vic
tors oven more than tho carrying on
of the war to a successful conclu
sion.
WAR WORK CAMPAIGN
United War # Work Campaign
opened Monday for a week's drive
to raise funds to help anil take case
of the soldier boys who went forth
to battle, and die if need be, for
their country and loved ones, Tho
work the various agencies has ac
complished has tho uni|ualified en
dorsement of the Allied leaders. The
fighting is over but the care of tho
soldier boys is just as urgent and
necessary now as when they were on
tho firing line. Help wilh your
money. It is needed.
What disposition the Republi
cans will make ot Col. Roosevelt
two years hence is doubtless a
rather perplexing problem just at
this time. lie evidently thought,
when ho was nagging the admin
istration, that, he was again build
ing stepping stones to the Presi
dency—the supremo goal of his
ambition. Now, that peaco is
coming without his good offices,
ho will be shorn of his chief sub
ject for entertaining newspaper
readers. It will be passing strange
if he does not have something to
say about the drastic terms cf the
armistice handed to the German
War Lords.
The German spirit of parley is
not wholly crushed, lie thinks the
armistice terms aro hard, l'liey
are drastic, and they should bo.
His conduct in the war fashioned
them. Ue has made a hard bed for
himself and should not complain at
occupying it.
Germany is appealing to the
United States for food to save mil
lions from starvation. Other cen
tral powers are is as bad or worse
plight. Tho Allies signify a willing
ness to keep them from starving.
The ex-Kaiser has fled his coun
try—gone over into Holland, but
there is no place where be can hido
himself. If he is wanted for any
purpose he will be fetched back, it
natters not where he goes.

. A SEER AMONG MEN.
A
University Nows Letter, Nov. C.
Edward Kidder Graham, born
1876, died 1918. President of the
University of North Carolina, a!
director of the American Uni
versities' Union in Europe, u mem
ber of the International Commit
tee of the Young Men's Christian
Association, a member of the Edu
cational Committee of the Council
■of National Defense, Regional
Director of the Students Armyi
Training Corps Colleges, South
eastern Division.
He was stricken on the march,
at the head of his division of war,
in plague swept areas of duty.
Wearied and worn, he fell on
sleep at Chapel Hill, October L'C,
under the shadow of tho institu
tion that gave birth to his inef
fable spirit and on the soil of tbe
State that gave birth to his mortal
body.
Take him for his all in all, The
Hill is not like to look upon his
like again.
Frail as a windflower in his
physical frame, he was strong of
soul as corps commanders are who
are born to leadership in critical
causes.
A rare and radiant spirit. Gen
tle and lovable as a woman,
genial as the sun's rays, lifting as
the lark, soaring as tho eagle.
His visions of the University as
an agency of service to the Stale
and of tho State as an agency of
wholesome democracy were moun
tain-top visions that swept the
farthest horizons, that considered
alike the inescapable necessities
of mortal time anil the final values
of spirit and destiny.
No mart in the South or the
Nation better knew the functions
of a State University. He be
lieved with all his soul in tho
Physical Sciences —in t he conquest
of Nature for the reliof of mail's
estate in tho earth; and just as
strongly in the Social Sciences
in the new humanities whoso field
is the conquest of Human Nature
for the common weal, lie treas
ured tho Classics of every race
and all ages as priceless memorials
of the noblest in man, forged in
the flres-of spirit by the choicest
souls among men. Ami true to
the genius of his Scotch forbears,
be held Tho Hook to bo tho classic
of classics-—tho final source ol
human strength in tho everlast
ing struggle of the Host with the
Beast in the affairs of men and
tho destinies of nations.
A greater, nobler I'niversify
and a greater, nobler State—these
were the soul, tho very eosence of
the being of Edward Kidder Gra
i ham. As this institution and
this State move forward in the
years to come they will forever
glimpse far in the fore the boek
! oning hand of this gentle, sweet
spirit, this lover of bis kind, this
prophet, priest, and king among
his fellows. Ilis life brief as It
was as men count time is a last
ing, everlasting benediction fo the
State ayd the Nation.
, 0 friend of our souls, our prayer
in this crushing hour is Tenny
son's prayer over Arthur Hallam's
mortal clay—

It's Horrible!
You're bilious, atuggiah, consti

Here's my guarantee I Ask your
druggist for a bottle of Dod

spoonful to-night. If it doesn't
start your liver and straighten you
right up better than calomel and
without griping or making you
sick, I want you to go back to

money.
Take calomel to-day and to-mor

nauseated. Don't lose a days
work. Take a spoonful of harm
less, vegetable Doason s Liver Tone

It's perfectly harmless. Give it to

Chapel Hill News Letter.
Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia,
chairman of the Senate Commit
tee on Education, has come to
conclude that (1) elementary edu
cation, (2) native and foreign
born illiteracy, ,(3) instruction in
citizenship and loyalty, (4) health
education, including recreation, I
medical and dental examination
of school children, trained school
nurses, school clinics and instruc
tion of the people in the principles
of sanitation and health, and (5) \
the preparation of teachers, par
ticularly for our rural schools, are
all great national problems; that
they cannot any longer be left to
the chance willingness or unwil
lingness of taxpayers in local com
munities and States, but must be
attacked on a grand national scale
and supported in part at least, out
of the great national treasury.
And he is everlastingly right
about it.
The selective draft has been an
eye-opener to this nation.
Think of it! More than a fourth
of our two and a quarter million
men of the first draft, young men
in the prime of early manhood,
from 20 to 30, were found upon
examination to be physically unfit
to serve their country; the ratios
of unfitness rauging from 14 per
cent in South Dakota, a rural
State, to 16 percent in Connecticut
and Pennsylvania, two industrial
States. The ratio was nearly ."50
percent in North Carolina.
And a disgracefully large
amount of this national unfitness
was found to be due to venereal
disease, the ratios of infection
ranging from 14 percent in a mid
dle western State to 77 percent in
a middle Atlantic State.
Think of it! Three-fourths of
out- 20 million school children
suffering from physical disabili
ties—heart and lung diseases, dis
orders of hearing and vision, mal
nutrition, diseased adenoids and
tonsils, flat-feet, weak spines, im
fect teeth and the like, most of
which are preventable and curable
ailments, says Dr. Frederick
Peterson a New York alienist of
note.
v »Think of it! Nearly two-thirds
of the native white adult illiter
ate's of the United States are
massed in the South, while 94 per
cent of our white illiterates of all
ages live in our country regions.
We found 324 raw recruits from a
singlo Southern State at Camp
Hancock the other day, and near
ly a full fourth or 24 percent of
them were sheer illiterates while
another fourth were near-illiter
ates! The shame of it was un
speakable.
Truly the selective draft has
brought i|s faeo to face with con
ditions that threaten this nation
with degeneracy, physical and
moral; and it must bring us to our
senses quickly, if America is to be
the hope of the world in the new
order of things.
What the Million?* Are For,
Fifty millions are to go toward
improving public schools below
college grade. The States that
put up dollar_for dollar will reap
the benefits of the fund. And no
State with less than a six months
school term can share these SO
millions—a detail worth noting
just now in North Carolina.
Twenty millions will go for
health educatiou.
Fifteen millions will go for bet
ter teacher trainjug, with the
country schools especially in view.
The balance or fifteen millions
wilj be devoted to a fierce assault
upon illiteracy, nativeand foreign
born.
, The maitj purpose of the entire
fund is to i breed intelligent, de
voted citizenship in these United
States. Without that, the new
democracy in this and every other
land will face the menaces of
Bolshivism, quite as Lord North
cliffe forsees!
A New Cabinet Officer*
Under the new law, we shall
have a Secretary of Education in
the President's Cabinet, and the
scattered educational efforts of
Washington will be organized
and massed under a single direc
torship.
At present twenty-seven differ
eut federal departments, bureaus,
and offices are chained with the
educational end of our national
life. As a result we have endless
duplication and uubelievable
waste. It, is worse than chaotic,
it is idiotic.
Our Federal Commissioner of
Education is running a national
side-show at present, competing
with twenty-six other educational
side-shows in Washington City.
Making your way through the
educational enterprises of our na
tional capital is like movitig
through the midway attractions of
the Chicago exposition.
Hereafter —if Senator Smith's
bill pasces—the Department of
E lucation headed by a cabinet
officer v ill be the whole show, and
education in these United States
will at last have risen to the dig
nity of agriculture, labor, com
merce, and war.
If our readers are interested in
this bill, they will do well to tell
their Congressman so at once. It
is Senate bill No. 4987.
No more important measure has
been before Congress for a half
century—not even excepting our
war legislation these last eighteen
mouths. It is fundamental to a
rational ro-adjustinent of our na
tional life when the war is over.
We may say in conclusion that
this Federal fund will be applied
by the various State authorities,
just as the laud grant funds, the
farm extension and vocational
education funds are now applied.
If any man can see in this
proposition any sinister purpose
to Prussianize education in Ameri
ca, then he has an eye like a
Philadelphia lawyer, who is said
to be able to see straight through
a brick.

State Board Health Bulletin,
Nov. 12.
Influenza, in spite of the good,
old-time remedies of sulphur in
the shoes and asafa-tida around
the neck, like a hurricane passed
from the seashore to the moun
tains., from household to house
hold, exacting its 1011, paying no
respect to persons. When the
final eount of the present epi
demic is made -known, we will
probably see that more than six
thousand North Carolinians have
laid down their lives on account
of it.
The germs which cause influ
enza, like the gerins which cause
whooping cough, scarlet fever,
diphtheria, tuberculosis, colds,
pneumonia and many other dis
eases, live in the mouth and nose
secretions of people. These germs
die in the air just as soon as the
secretions dry, and therefore they
can not live long to float about,
as some of the sulphur and asa
fu-tida fiends might think. One
gets tho disease by coining in
too close contact with careless
people.
The gerins of every case of in
fluenza came from another per
son's mouth, and the present epi
demic shows to what extent spit
swapping is practiced in the good
old North State. Not every per
son who has influenza is careless,
but every case of influenza means
carelessness by somebody; and
one can't always guard himself
against the other fellow.
There are several institutions
in North Carolina in which not a
case of influenza occurred, and
still the disease was epidemic on
every side. There was nothing
magic about it. The students in
these institutions did not wear
sulphur hi their shoes-, asafoetida
in their bosoms, cucumbers on
their ankles, or potatoes in their
pockets; but what they did do
was to use separate towels, dishes,
and drinking cups, and keep their
mouths covered wheu Coughing
and sneezing. They' stayed away
from public gatherings of all sorts,
but were permitted on the streets,
even wheri ambulances were fre
quently passing with patients for
the influenza emergency hospitals.
These students lived a normal
life, happy and jubilant. They
did not breathe filtered air, nor
drink concoctions of native herbs,
but used common sense—and why
in the world people don't listen
to reason is not understood.
