WM. C. HAMMER, EDITOR
Asheboro, N. C, May 20, 1915
Not only Senators, Representatives
anil members of the Cabinet and his
own political party endorse President
Wilson's course in dealing with the
delicate situation of this country to
the nations of Europe, but men of all
parties unite in declaring the country
will follow the President's lead.
THE SUBMARINE
The submarine is the most trer.ien
dous force in the present war.
The submarine is adapted to use in
both offensive and defensive warfare.
This destructive instrument of w.ir is
the invention of an American, Simon
Lake.
The question now is whether it will
be outlawed by civilized warfare like
the poisoned bullet; if not, the vessels
of all nations, neutral as well as those
engaged in warfare, will have to step
sailing the seas when wars are in
progress.
While war among submarines
against each other is an impossibility
because they can be within a few feet
of each other without 6ecing each oth
er as all of the boat is under water
except a small part in the center of
the boat
The only thing that can deal with
the submarine to any advantage is the
torpedo boat destroyer and the rub
marine can often slip around the tor
pedo boat destroyer while in patrol of
a large vessel and destroy the patrol
ed vessel.
THE ENTIRE COUNTRY UNITED
BEHIND THE PRESIDENT
Who in this day is not proud to be
an American, says the Baltimore Sun
proud to be one of these 100,000,000
freemen, among whom every race and
nationality and creed of the earth are
Tepreserted, who are standing so sol
idly, so calmly, yet with such deep de
termination, back of their great Pres
ident. Americans heard of the tragedy of
the Lusitania with horror and integ
ration, yet there was no outbreak of
passion, no wild jingoism, no hysteria,
"Trust to Wilson, and don't rock the
boat," was the steadying advice, with
a few insignificant exceptions, of the
entire press, regardless of politics,
and of every thoughtful man whose
voice was heard. The people followed
that advice splendidly.
And then Wilson spoke. No man
can read that note to Germany so
unanswerable in its logicso temperate
so friendly, so wonderfully expressed, I f, nla"ers as. a" navv departments
' ' i the world over keep secret. The pub-
yet so firm without feeling thrt even ' lie was much gratified with the see

state papers of all time.

; exactly erpressed the attitude
of tae Amner.n mind ar.d heart. The
citizenry of ih.s country is with Wil-1
son, not alone as a matter of duty, but
with rnthi:siar.m and profound convic
tion. The former doubters, the
scoffers, the jingoes, the conservative
peace advocates nil fall in line. The
great financial interests who have
. n , . , .
talked of Wilsons being "an enemy to j
business" are among the first to wire '.
v. , ., . , x '
him assurances of their support to the
finish. The plain citizenry everywhere I
is heard to remark that if war must
come he is ready to shoulder a musket
at any time that Wilson says the
word.
Probably no nation ever showed such
calm sanity, perfect unity and quiet
determination in such a crisis. Ameri
cans have just cause to be proud.
ROOSEVELT IN THE LIME LIGHT
AGAIN
Theodore Roosevelt never would
have been President had not "Boss"
Flatt had him nominated for Vice
President. It is possible that if he
looms up in the next Republican Na
tional Convention, it will be because
he was sued for libel by Piatt's form
er henchman, William Bp.rnes. It is a
matter of history as to hi first great
opportunity, it remains to be seen
whether the suit of Barnes will afford
a second great opportunity.
It is immaterial what the termina
tion of this libel suit is. The ex-Presi
dent has "come back". He may not be
back to stay, but he has been greatly
benefitted by the trial at Syracuse.
He was dropping out of view. The
election last fall temporarily destroy
ed him, but here he is again and with
every "toe up."
Last fall he set out to beat Whit
man for Governor of New York, and
Penrose for Senator in Pennsylvania,
but he did neither, but Whitman has
made a woeful failure and nobody ex
pected a great deal of Penrose, and
Barnes' libel suit has brought the ex-
President back to public view.
The Philadelphia Record says of the
ex- President that Mr. Roosevelt is
about as human as other men, and if
he has a Jekyll side and a Hyde sale
he is not radically different from oth
ers. But he represents a higher type
politician than the prosecutor, and he
has shown extraordinary capacity to
take cere of himself on the witness
stand, and has proved himself quite
the equal of Mr. Ivins.
And again the Record discourses on
the folly of this suit from the view
point of common sense:
Mr. Roosevelt's alleged libel was
ju6t about the sort of thing that has
been said over and over again of most
of the state bosses, and said truthful
ly, too. Others have not thought of
prosecuting for libel men or newspa
pers who tell what they think of po
litical machines and the men who or
ganize and operate them. If Mr.
Barnes has up his sleeve something
that would discredit Mr. Roosevelt
morally his suit would be intelligible,
but the mere fact that the man who
denounces bosses has used them when
he could might not even be an incon
sistency; and, if consistent, it would
would be only human and practical,
and supported by abundant prece
dents. SAVOYARD'S VIEWS ABOUT
ARMAMENT
The Hon. Augustus P. Gardner is
rreprersible. He reminds one of a fel
low Balsac speaks of who would hag
gle with the Pope over an absolution
and he insists that more than the
revenues of purgatory be expended in
the navy that is already amnle for
all uses that fate is likely to put it
to. I doubt if the cabinet of any
American president ever contained a
better or more successful secretary of
the navy than Josephus Daniels, but
Mr. Gardner insists that our navy is
mainly old junk and seems to hold
Mr. Daniels responsible for it.
Mr. Daniels in a paper addressed to
President Garfield, of Williams Col
lege, discovers to the public the con
dition of the navy and asserts that it
is more formidable than it ever was
before. He reveals everything except
' of t!io vp-""1s are old and oth
ire not speedy enough. If any
body is to blame for that it is not the
secretary of the navy of the Wilson
administration, but Congress of which
Mr. Gardner is a prominent and a
p-.'UT.i'ons member. It is more than
r-issih'e that shipyards and armor
p'ato factories agree with the
bumptious and the indefatigable Mr.
Gardner, 'but common mortals are
very we'l satisfied v'th the navy as it
; and the present management of it.
The Hon. Gardner is miserable and
refuses to be comforted is seemingly
about ready to take the advice of
'Job's wife but Job, a man more
or less versed touching the sex, an
swered that she spoke as one of the
foolish women speaketh because our
Germany or France. What of that?
Germany and Fm.nce have powerful
navies because they have powerful
neighbors that each is afeared of.
We have no powerful neighbors, and
all those nations with powerful navies
of whom the Hon. Gardner is afeared
have fish to fry at this time other
than lickins us,
How absurd is this silly clamor of
our danger! It can come from only
two classes those afflicted with im
becility of mind, or those prompted
by depravity of morals. Here we
are the most powerful and the most
opulent nation in the world courteo
by all the other nations of the world
of the first or second class. And ye
we are gravely told that unless we
arm to the teeth our day of destruc
tion is at hand. I can see how the
steel trust, that wishes to sell armor
plate for ships and the powder trust,
that hopes to sell munitions for guns,
amy an lmnmal Ti Q W hilt it. if)
.curious that a disinterested man like
Gardner should get in a swivet over
it.
Let us see. Some years ago Eng
land, the moat powerful nation in the
world, was at war with a beggarly lit
tle people ia South Africa called the
Boon. It took Ens-land two years
with her mastery of the seas It took
England two years to land 250,000
soldiers in South Africa. Now it
hag been developed in that deplorable
war over yonder that the Canadian
contingent is as trood fighters as any
of them Germans, English, French
or I'eleians. Those Canadians had
training of some eight months
taken as thev were from civil walk.
It would take even England with
her immense shipping, naval and
mercantile, a year to land 1,000,000
men on our snores and by that time
we would have 5.000,000 as good sol
di: rs as the world ever saw to meet
them. And it would take Germany or
France two or three years to land
1.000.000 on our shores. Nay, Ger
many could not land 1,000,000 hostile
forces on our shores in a century. She
has not got the transports, and
time of peace kngianrt win never
have the soldiers. Se we are perfect
ly safe from both. As for Japan, that
people have got too much sense to
arouse the ansrer or the American
people to desperation. Besides, where
would Japan get the money 7
Before long all the great nations of
Europe will have had all the fight'
ing they want. It is not unlikely that
the war will last another year, or
two. Certainly it will if it is fought
to a finish till one side or the other
is completely exhausted and helpless,
ns our South was in 1865 and an
France was in 1871. All of them will
be tired of war and even the victor
will be powerless to harm us even if
disposed to do so, for by the tune
they could destroy our navy and land
1,000,000 men on our shores we would
have the finest and biggest army in
the world to meet them and welcome
them with bloody hands to hospitable
graves, as Tom Corwin said.
England's navy has been vastly su'
perior to ours for a century. Rela
tively we are stronger now than at
any period during the century. Dur
ing our Civil war there were many
English statesmen notably Palmers
ton and Gladstone who willingly
would have gone to war with us; but
the great majority of the English peo
ple to say nothing of the queen, her
consort, Disraeli, and others, when
England allowed that splendid oppor
tunity to lapse we may rest easy as
to her, and if Germany licks her and
takes over what she and France have
in Africa, as spoil of war, Germany
will be too busy with her new possess
ions to pick a quarrel with us. Be
sides, we will be the only nation with
a surplus of money. All the others
will be ready for the poorhouse.
Another thing. Who knows that
naval warfare will not be completely
revolutionized before the big war is
over? When our war of 1861-65 be
gan there was not an ironclad on the
water. Farragut's flagship was a mis
erable little wooden affair. I saw her
at Annapolis a year or so ago and it
was incredible the fame the old
Hartford had made.
Something of that kind is likely to
happen any day. Let us have pa
tience. Of course the Hon. Gardner
will remain noisy, but the people
stand by Mr. Daniels, who is proving
an excellent head of his department.

METHODIST BISHOPS STAND BY
WILSON
The College of Bishops of the South
ern Methodist church, in session at
Nashville, Tennessee, last week, cent
to Precident Wilson a telegram which
should find a response in the hearts of
all who wish the best for America.
The telegram was as follows:
"The College of Bishops of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
thanks God that our President on
whom rest at this time such great and
unusual burdens, 13 a man of prayer,
discretion, courage, patriotism and
ability. A3 chiof pnstors of some mil
lions of our American people that
college assures the President of its
sympathy and prayers in his efforts
to p-ceerye the p-jace of our beloved
country, and to protect the rights and
honor of our citizens. At this hour
and in all things may the hand of our
God and the God of our fathers guide
you and all who are associated with
you in directing the destiny of Ameri
cans." DEDICATION COLORED CI I RCH
The First Congregational church,
colored, of Asheboro, will be dedicated
next Sunday.
The visiting ministers who will takw
part in the exercises are Revs. W. A.
Clark, Mt. Gilead; Z. Simmon.-, High
Point; A. C. rinckney, Haw Branch;
H. W. Brown, Dry Creel:; cr.d O. W.
Hawkins, Strieby. T.ev. IT. D. Smith,
pastor of the church, and the congre
gation have completed the erection of
a nice house of worship.
SIMMONS ON AMERICAN NOTE
Senator F. M. Simmons, in talking
to a newspaper reporter on the Ameri
can note to Germany said:
"The President's message to Ger
many fully meets the present situa
tion and gives assurance of a stead
fast purpose on the part of this gov
ernment to meet any possible even
tuality with calm deliberation and
courage."

apply the Liniment to the surface. It
is wonderfully penetrating. It goes
to the seat of trouble and draws the

rtnt relief.
ADVANTAGES OF THE ANCIENTS
Elevators in the Palace of Nero Hob
ble Skirts in Time of Moses In
come Tux, Labor Unions and Trusts
Known to Ancients.
Prof. Camden M. Coburn, recently
returned explorer and archaeologist
from Palestine, claims that life among
the ancients was not so different from
today. Following are some of the
facts pointed out by Prof. Coburn:
The palace of Nero had three ele
vators.
In the year 6 A. D. an income tax
was established in Rome on all in
comes in excess of $4,000.
The hobble skirt was one of fash
ion's decrees in the days of Moses.
Prof. Coburn pointed out that the
Jews had three different systems of
shorthand reporting in the first cen
tury and that in every Jewish court
a shorthand reporter, or clerk, sat on
each side of the judge. Many of the
Roman aristocrats took "stenograph
ers" with them upon their travels.
As to homes, the ancients made the
New York millionaires look like "pik
ers." Prof. Coburn says he has read in
manuscripts dug from ancient tombs
and houses of a Roman who spent
$12,000,000 upon decorations for his
house.
Another plutocrat spent $90,000,000
in one' year. Even Nero was no slouch
when it came to "burning money". On
one occasion he spent $175,000 for
roses on his banquet tab'es. The roses
were brought from Egypt.
Some of the other advantages en
joyed by the ancients, according to
Prof. Coburn, follow:
In St Paul's time there were 70 la
bor unions in Rome.
There were several great monopo
lies in the first century, the greatest
being the oil business.
The "trust" had not cornered kero
sene, which was unknown at that pe
riod, but dealt in olive oil and the like.
There also were monopolies in eggs,
perfumes and bricks.
PLANNING ANTI-TYPHOID
CAMPAIGN
Announcement has just been made
to the effect that in a few counties in
the State where the best assurance
of co-operation can be secured the
State Board of Health will conduct
extensive anti-typhoid treatment cam
paigns this summer. These cam
paigns will begin June 15. They will
continue for six weeks in about five
or six counties and then move on to
five or six other counties.
The plan is to hold a free public
anti-typhoid treatment dispensary in
about six different parts of the county
and visit each one of these points once
a week in turn. Three treatments
against typhoid are required to im
munize. These treatments are given
a week apart.
While the treatment will be given
absolutely free, a small share of the
expense for such a campaign will be
borne by the county, and the remain
der by the State. The value of such
an offer will bo readily seen when it
is remembered that the usual charge
for such treatment or immunisation
ranges from 75 cents to $3.00.
In the army and navy where this
treatment is compulsory, typhoid has
been practically wiped out, there be
ing only about one case of iyphoid
now where before there was a hun
dred. Futhcrmore, it is absolutely
safe, and practically painless. It pro
duces no open sore.

STILL A MYSTERY
The stomach and heart of the late
A. M. Varner, were, by his consent
sent to a specialist for examination
after his death with the hope that the
real trouble could be determined and
perhaps aid others similarly afflicted
in the future.
A report was received this morning
stating that they have never before
examined such a case and while the
lining of the stomach and intestines
is eaten up, the specialists find
present cause for its destruction. The
mystery of his death is not solved.
His heart weighed only three ounces,
about the size of the heart of a six-
year old child, but was in perfect con
dition otherwise. The trouble was in
the lining of his stomach, and now it
seems as if the cause of it will never
be solved. Montgomerian.

A GOOD MAN GONE
Henry B. Lambert was born Sep
tember 15, 1SG1, and died May 3, 1915,
aged 83 years, 7 months, and 18 days.
He professed faith in Christ and
joined the Fall Creek Baptist church
in August, 18(52, and lived a faithful
member until July, 1902, when Beu
lah Faptist church was organized. He
then moved his membership to the lat
ter church, of which he remained a
faithful member and a leader until his
death.
A good father in Israel has fallen.
The church has lost a leader and the
family a father and grandfather. His
good wife has gone on bef jre him, but
his children are left to mourn his de
parture; but we feel that their loss is
his eternal gain.
He has four sons and three daugh
ters still living. They are: Messrs.
E. B., L. W., J. T., and H. C. Lambert,
and Mrs. J. W. Powers, Mrs. C. C. Pur
vis, and Miss Martha A. Lambert; be
sides twenty-six grandchildren and 13
great-grandchildren, and a host of rel
atives and friends.
At the funeral occasion, conducted
by his pastor, Rev. W. H. Strickland,
a gr?at host of friends were there to
pay the last tribute of respect to the
deceased.
Brother Lambert was a man who
spent a great deal of his time in -his
church work and proved faithful to
the day of his death.
Those of us that knew him .can glad
ly say, "Blessed are the dead that die
in the Lord." His many years of la
bor here have ended, but his works
will follow him.
Brother Lambert was laid away on
May 4th, in the Beulah cemetery by
the Masonic fraternity to wait the
resurrection morn.
Blest be the tie that binds a father
to his loving children and to his God.
In some future day ties will never
be broken. A FRIEND.
