Mount Airy Ncwa. ML Airy, N. C.f Not. M 1122 JL & JOBMSON A SON. fUMCKIFTIONKATIl; SUMY A GREAT COUNTY Let a to «.y ■ad the neighbors wffl rias In am* and in that ha la pro laiilill to tka 11aHa of tha law. Lat ■ auui commit a crime in oar county and he la almost as carta in to antiwar for H as tea rolls by. ' Alt this is ao evident that no aaa can fail to agree with na. And thai* la a raaaon. Our people in tha years put hava been a liberty lovtng pao pla. Thay hava been awaka to tha Importance of good government. Thay hava taken an Interact hi public a people are great It does not follow that they can ratefai their grealneac without eternal vigilance. R la aa easy for a people to get alack hi morale and govenmaent aa it la flsr aa individual to gat eareleea •hoot hia conduct or hie morale. So long aa oar people bold to high idea la. and bade up theee aeuthnanta by kaap tag* man of high eharaetor In offleae ef Una I, will oar eiriliaation be safe. The wont feature of oar preeint coanty government is that the party la not careful enoagh to place bmb of ability in office. Sorry has pma forward by leapa and boosda is tha paat lew yean, aad for the raaaon that the progrooelso elements of all parties hare united on theee pro greasive mores. So long aa the progressive men In all parties are in control there ia progress. The trou ble is that the party in power hare numbers so many non-progressives in its following that when they meet In convention, with party lines drawn, ■ten of non-progreaaive ideaa can win in the conventions. The result fa that in recent years we haye had men In office who were not qualified to fill the poeitions with a degree of eredit to themselvea or to their party. Confusion haa been the result The democratic party sees all thia and thia year haa been careful to place before the people of the county a ticket composed of men who are able to measure up to the high Standards of service that our people are entitled to have. If the pro gressive elements of our county will unite and place men in office who are able to render a satisfactory service, then our county will be certain to continue in the line of progress. FRANK LEWELLYN It was a severe trial when in the yean of 1917 and 1918 our citizens saw their sons leave home and go •way to camp to prepare for service In the world war. No more trying experience cornea to a man br life, except death. Back then when the subject was in the minds of all our people w4 heard frequently that the man who made aaerifice In war would brf rewarded ta the years to come. And thia will be true. Our people an a grateful people and they will not neglect their Arty If they art reminded. Prank Lewellyn, candidate for Clerk of the Superior Court of Surry county, was one among the many who aaw hia fine young eon go away to oamp and later to Prance. And he «• one among the few of our citixens •who one day received the govern ■enta notice that hi* eon had paid the supreme sacrifice while ta the •errice of Ma country. The other hoy* came home and received a hearty welcome. But young Lewellyn alept the last aleep under the soil of France until many months rolled by, •nd then ana day Prank Lewellyn Kfitffd another government notice thet the reMtea of hia son would arrive fro* Prance on a certain day. Soday that young man rests in a aaaaetery In the hilla of the country •at of Psfcssa, and • grateful peo ple wiH mt fee get Ma father la A1* [Ml I* flip into i Bight vitk • load «f lot Mtiwj I* Um «ttj the tow, m they think K appliee M tbam. They ktfi not, that in marketing they are u direct ly violating » aUU law aa tf they later. A paopla can fall into a bad habit and hardly realise that It la • bad habit until soma ana call* attention to It. Thia habit of getting ahead of tha other fallow by being there on Monday la not tha rata with • great many good citizens. There are plenty of good and substantial farm* era who would not eren think at go ing to market en Sunday. There may be wme ahow of reaaon in earing tobacco on Sunday, and yet there are many farmer* who cot their tobacco early in the week ao that they can complete the caring proceea before Sunday. It all cornea down to thia: there la but ene way to get the moat oat of life, and that la by conforming to all law*, and being willing to lire up to the higbeet concepts of the beat minda of our age. AB good people admit that the Sabbath should be kept holy and aa free from all work aa possible, and to violate thia accepted standard la a poor way to under take to better onea condition in life. THE KAISER EXPLAINS The ex-emperor of Germany la getting hie autobiography publiabed in papers of this country. One paper that is carrying the stuff reschea us and from time to time we hare read enough of what the man aays to get the drift of his mind. The number of times that the pronoun I Is in the story is to be noticed. Be tells sbout "my army," "my-officers." "my navy" snd one would conclude that the old man was an absolute monarch with power to hare everything his own way. In a recent article he said he waa going to answer ths chsrge of atroci ties committed by his army. And then at sotne length he told how he had captured a French castle and how ha had with his own hand issued orders to protect the fine paintinga In the castle, and how he saw to it that they were not abused. And then he went on to tell how the owner erho was a woman and had fled the eoun try never even thanked him for pie serving tha pictures in her homes. And there he left the subject and went on to the discussion of some thing else, just ss if he hsd thorough ly answered the charge of cruelty against his array. Every or* knows that the German* filled wells with refute matter, cut down orchard* and vineyards, burned property they could not une, did vio lence to old and feebl* people and committed a'hundred other act* that no civilized army would be guilty of, hut when the Kaiser told about ssv ing the pictures h« thought he had covered the whole story. We take K that his explanation of the atrocities is a sample of the manner of his dis position of other phases of the sub ject he is trying to write about. If any of the voter* are in a quan dary as to how they shall vote on the congressional ticket, It nay help them to make up their minds if they will recall some of the facts that have been given oat for Mrs. Patter son's benefit. Part of the informa tion furnished the voter* Is that her grandfather^ cousin Betsy married some kind of a foreign nobleman. And then it has also been given out that her father #as mi Egyptologist All this should help the voter to make up h|s mind as to his choice for .Con gress.
