Three of the mightiest nations of tlie earth, after a turbulent c rnisre over t!v waters of strife, have droitped K''lor in the harbor of universal j.Pice. Strange that the recent signing ot a peace pact caused but little notice. 'I'he event was one of world wide po- ti^ntality, and it marks a new era in t:ie history ot the world. The trend of modern civilization, based upon ('hrisiianity, is a\'ay ft'oixi the bloody course of warfare. It is mnfidently believed that lapan, Russia and the oth«r great nations ill eventually sisn the international and thus will tramjuility among t!ie nations be asf^ured.

Representative Lqfferty Has Troubles of His Own Handled Situation Welh Charlotte water commissioners .got huffy about the way the local papers handled the v.ater famine and are holding secret sessions. While they were about it the Lord setit good rains and tiie thing is about over, (xreensboro, like other neighboring towns, was sympathetic and the news from day to da.\ was read w'ith in terest. Perhaps the papcis “played the matter up too strong, but if they did WQ failed to observe it. They seemed to be i)rinting facets and facts only. A correspondent or two but ted in and made a few remarks, but the names were signed to the ar ticles and ilte papers printing tliem were no* responsible for the views cxpres.sed.. In trutii il is o.ir iiiea that that pa))er.s handleu the jnatter with considerable diplomacy. There was nothing s^aid aliout "I told you so." but all iiands waded in and did what was deemed best. Of course fromething is to be said in favor ot the comuMssiotiers.

Newspapers and Water Board. There Is a small-sized row on in t iiailotto between the water board iiiid the newspapers. The boaiil claims that tlie newspapers have handled the v.ater Kit nation in a "yellow" way and have nuide conditions much worse tlian they are or have been. The pa pers reply that they have only given the facts \ln the case and that the charges against iheui are not well founded. Ax this distance it looks as if both the v.ater board and the papers have handled the situation admirably. The water board was about to make one mistake, the turning of imijure and |)063ibly infected water into the mains from Briar creek, this, too. when b\ laying a pipe line one hundred yards in length, they could have avoided the source of infection, taking in the wa ter above it. -\nd. while there w^as need for haste the ijipes were on the ground and could have been connected up ill an hour or two. 'I'he ’papers ])ro- tested against taking in the impure water, as they should have done. >»nd suggested that the line l)e laid so as to get the water above th« infection. The contention was obviously well taken and tl>e board acted u))on it. Hut ever sincc that it seems to have been peev ed with the newspapers. Tlieir error was 8c> obvious that the>' are perhai)s mad with themselves because it had to be ])Oiiiled out. to them, and be ing angiy. want to take it out on the newspapers, simply because they rr,;ild. in this instance, see a little bet- lf-r Tiian the members of the board. The board, necessarily, however, has had I move in haste, and it is not surpri."ing that they were about to make one mistake. The i)ai>ers recog- ni'/.cd this and the criticism was not unkind, and because of the general critical situation was made with an apology. This, we think, is the real .grievance of the water board. They are peeved because they were about ,o make an obvious error and are un- to the newspapers because the papers pointed it out. Their generally magnificent handling of an acute situa tion though, would indicate that they are not the kind of men to let this feeling long prevail.—Raleigh Times There’s nothing a woman can be so proud of her husband for as the way he can read the financial column in his paper just as if it had something in teresting in it. ^ e Hy Associated Press. Wnshington, Aug. 7.-*-To the ac tivity of political enemiejj. Represen tative A. F. l.afferty, of Oregon, as cribes the threatening attitude as sumed by the, father of a voting wo man of this city. The representative admit;, having addressed a letter to the young woman to whom he had never been inlrotiuced. enclosing a card to the house gallery and ex pressing the hope that he might some time have an introduction if agreeable to her, but states that was all the letter contained. Mr. l.afferty says he receive^ a call I'rom the young woman’s 'Fath er. wtio is chi(‘f clerk in one of tile goveniinent services. 'Phe father, said Mr. Lafferty. remarked that he was surprised to see that the repre sentative was so useful a man. Ap parently he had relieved his mind of the idea that the letter had been written in bad faith. The visitor departed in good humor, declared the representative, who has not seen him since. Another letter came, however, threatening Mr. l.afferty. It was writ ten on paper maniifactured in Ore gon. according to the representative and for that reason he considers it was inspired by political enemies. Handled Matter Nicely. Now that the water situation in (,'harlotte is again normal, reporters on the local papers will have to hus tle around to fill up. However, the l.'oys handled the matter nicely.— (Jreensboro Record.
