Not a Democratic War.
The sorriest excuse for a eitizcii
of our ^reat country in this criti
cal period of its history is the little
two-by fiiur politician who stands
on the stret't corner and at the
cross-roads stort* st'ckinj^ tt> dec**ivc
the pcopli“ touching the causes of
the world strui'i'lc for liberty. In
some t)f the niountain couutics of
onr own f.’ood state these ]>estitcr-
ons individual.-^ have been tt'llin^
the uninfornu'd that this is a demo
cratic war and that the s»*lcctive
draft is a di'mocratic* scheme to ^« t
rid of the republicans at home and
force them to tlo tin* li^htiiij: at
the front. So pi*rsistent have been
the elTorts of these modern ,Indases
that many rt*j)ublicans in the rural
communitit's have been misled into
the belief that President Wilson
brought on the war for political
pxirposes, and there has been pro-
nounceil o]>position to the ludicy
of the administration in a f*‘w
repubhcan counties of tlit* west.

Pritchard, one i»f the greatest
a])ostles of rci)ublicans in North
Carolina, became conviticed of the
im])ortance ('f going out anmnust
the i)eople and giving them the
pure, nnvarni>lu d truth about the
situation.
The Asheville jurist has lately
completeil a ttuir of Surry, Stoki's
and other cimnties of the middh*
west where he deiuinnced in the
strongest tt*rms every suggestion
that this is othi'r than a war in the
interest of Amcric'a as u whole,
■without regard to any sect or
creed. Hundreds ijf people heard
the judge at each a]>p('intnu'nt and
his sled^je-hammcr blows produced

Mount Airy, writing of Judge
Pritchard's sjx'ech ut that place,

people here have «ot opcvlv
any opi)osition to the war, nut
there has been great lethargy and
an under current running through
the county, esi)ecially among re-
l)ubli(“ans, that it was a democratic
war and that the L'nited States
ought never to have been drawn
into it. Judge Pritchard's argu
ment along that line was absolutely
convincing to anybody that could

j)roved conclusively that it is not a
democratic war, nor is it a re])nb-
lican war, but a war that Anu'rica
could not have failed to enter and
retained the re?i)cct of any civil
ized nation on earth. The .‘speech
made a profound im])ression h(*re
and I am informed that the same
was true at the other two j)oints in
this county where Judge Pritr-lmrd

Judge Pritchard is doint; a man’s
part in this conllict. In fact, he is
one of the state’s first citizens and
patriots. It i- little wonder that
McKinle.y Pritchard, now a com
missioned oilicer in the army of the
reptablic, is proving hii.self a wor
thy son of a noble sire. He did not
wait to be drafted into the service,
but walked up like a man to the
recruiting station and offered him
self a living sacrifice on the altar of
his country. This is no more a
democratic war than was the
declaration of war with Sjjain, by
President McKinley, a rej)ublican
scheme for political effect. The
end fully justified the means at that
time and the same will j)rove true
of present day conditions. The
very fact that the country voted
for President Wilson last Novem
ber because “he kept us out of
war” explodes the idea, advanced
by enemies of the administration,
that this is a democratic wnr
bronght on for political reasons.
The Man With a Heart.
(Jovernor Bickett is being con
demned by both j)ress and ]>eople
for doing a most unusual thing.
Seldom in the past has the chief
executive exiucised the pardoning
power except in castes brought to
his attention through the interces
sions of relatives, friends t>r attor
neys of tlie unfortunates. But
(ioverner Uickett conceived the
idea soiiu^ time ago that a lot of
people in the central prison, and in
the various jirison camps through
out the state, had sufl’ered enough
anil asked for rccords of service
that would enable him tt> get aline
on the condition of every prisoner
who had performed lengthy service
m the toils. Ho found a number
who had been imprisoned since
their youthful days, some of them
for petty offenses, but who had ixt)t
had either friends or relatives to
Intprcede for them when pardons
might have been obtained by
merely calling attention to their
offen.se and the time of their im
prisonment.
As a result of a personal investi
gation, His Excellency found
twenty-one unfortunates whom he
tiecided were entitled to liberty
and he authorized Superintendent
Collie to open the prison doors
that they might depart. Most of
them went gladly, but some,
strange to say, informed the au
thorities that they had long since
been forgotten at home, had n«
other place to go and asked iier-
mission to remain within the
guartled walls during the sunset of
their hapless lives. What a sad
picture. No friends, no homes, no
hope—all because »)f mistakes in
the days of youth, wht^in the child
should be trained in the ways of
the godly and led along the paths
of pleasantness and peace. Grt)]>-

Act of Carelessness In North Carolina
Came Dangerously Near Costing
Lives of Six Persons.
Utter disregard for all the rules that
make for the protection of human lifft,
wharged to almost any citizen of North
Carolina would bring forth the highest
resentment. No man would be willing
to admit or to even have it intimated
that a careless act of his had come
dangerously near costing the lives of
six persons. Yet this very fact was
brought to the attention of a represen-
tafive of the State Insurance Hepart-
ment recnlly. If the man who was
the careless and criminally negligent
paftv to the affair were tald of ihq
case in this light he w'ould be “liglit-
Ing mad.”

Calomel is dangerous. It crashes into sour

remember that your druggist sells f r 50

Tone, which is entirely vegetable' and

start your liver without stirring you up
inside, and can not salivate.
Don’t take calomel! It makes you sick
