FRIDAY, July 25, 1913 OUTLOOK FOR THE LEAGUE It is a bit interesting to find the New York Outlook of which Colonef Theodore Roosevelt was associate ed itor prior to his. death, takes issue ure. You knw the general char> acter of appointments under Uie Dem ocratic Adinistration. You know the many and great failures of efficiency of that Administration in' the con duct of the war. It will be bigger and a more perplexing job to run the League than to run the war. If you ars dissatisfied, as we believe you are, with the general war record of the Democrats, we ask you to give your mandate to the Republican party to carry on the League, to enforce the Treaty of Peace, and to direct on your behalf the work of National and in ternational reconstruction.' Such an appeal would at least have commanded a respectful hearing. For the American people do not like ob structionists. They want their leader to do things. Are not the Republican leaders in the Senate in danger of giving the country the impression that they are critical obstructionists rather than .constructive statesmen? It was this coursp that led to the de feat of the Republican party in 1916. Is that mistake to be repeated?” The trouble with the Republican loaders in the United States Senate The Extension Farm-KTews, an agri cultural paper published at Raleigh, carried in its issue of last Saturday an article on the “first business en terprise” to be undertaken by a home demonstration Club in North Carolina —the tea room at. Cedar Mountain in Transylvania County operated by the girls of the Canning Club at that place.” The article contains an excellent review of the work being done in this county by Miis Lula M. Cassidey, home demonstration agent. HE PRAYER COIRNER with Lodge, Borah, Lafollette & Com pany in their position on the League that they are not big enough nor •f Nations Covenant. The July num ber of this ir.a,'^ai:ino, a “Roosevelt iTelebration” edition, carries fine co- for-portraits of the Colonel on its broad enough to accept anything, however meritorious it may be, which originates in Democratic circles. They are too little and contemptible front and fourth pages and places! to be willing for a Democratic Presi- the ex-President’s name alongside of j dent to have credit for playing the Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln in leading role in the settlement of the greatest issue thatt world civilization has ever von. They would not havef the list of gi'oat American statesmen. In an editorial entitled, “The Tactical Blunder of The Republicans,” the ■Outlook speaks its mind on the stand leaders of its party in the United States Senate have taken in opposi tion to the ratification of the Treaty of Peace recently presontcvl by Pres. Wilton as spokesman for An'erica abroad. It says: “The League of Nations is very likely to be the issue of the 1920 Presidential campaign. And some good political judges prophecy that dared oppose the League if it had been proposed by a Republican Presi dent and we do not believe the people of the country are going to stand for any such meanness. President Wilson has endeavored o r-reYe.'it the League from becoming a partisan matter. If the Republi cans insist upon drawing the lines and succeed in preventing ratification the shame of it all will rest on their slioulders. It is a question of too great importance to be trifled with Mr. Wilson may accept tho challenge , , iu- 1 4- 14.- the country is becoming restive •and run for a third term on that is- , i. u 1- 4.1 i.

' rather than submit to' the scheming 'ic should be rewarded as one of the 1 authors of the plan. But if the re publicans persist in attacking, op posing, or emasculating the Treaty which has been framed by the five chief Allies, it would not be unnat ural. for him to take a third nomin- Ctttion in order to defend what he has consistently asserted to be the great i issue befort the civilized v/orid. ^‘It is our belief- that as the people ’of the United States (Jontinue to fhin.k about the matter they will say themselves: ‘The proposed League doubtless has defects; like the Con stitution, it may need ultimate amend BK‘nts as the result of practical ex perience. But we are tired of fight- iing and appeals to force, and we want to try any reasonable experiment that j will give us some escape from such catastrophes as that which has just «ven\'helmed us. If we don’t try this ei^periment now, nobody knows when we shall have another opportunity. Wc don’t propose to jeopardize this «fiance by further discussion and criticism. We want to get to work •»nd do our tinkering later.’ From the point of view of political tactics of selfish politicians. THE ENFORCEMENT CODE The duty of providing machinery for the enforcement of war prohibi- Licr, which became eflfectice July 1st, devolves upon Congress and is giving the members no little concern. Brew ery interests are right on the job with their lobbyests and legal advisers i contesting every move and endeavor ing to defeat every measure that they think will stand the test of the courts. Under the v/ar emergency act no in toxicating beverages may be manu factured or sold until demoblization of the army shall have been complet ed. In the opinion of President Wil son this condition will not have been reached until ratification of the trea ty by the powers, and until Germany has complied with all the military re quirements in the league covenant. If the opinion of the President cor rectly represents the situation in which the brewers and distillers find themselves, the cause of the strong opposition to the Enforcement Code now pending before Congress is easily explained. The antis have con- «pedicncy the sole question is. Which amendment is' the largest body of Americans, Uiose who want to try this experi ment or those who do not? Whatever the answer may be, it «ust be admitted that Senators Ij«dge, Knox, Borah and Johnson have ittised this question. Here, it seems to us, has been their creat tactical mistake. They would 4jive been far wiser, we think, and far surer of success if they had gone to the country with an appeal in sub stance like this: join unhestitatingly with the Democrats in ratifying the Treaty mtd League of Natioifs Covenant, ms ratification is not a partisan is- ffie. The administration of the Trea ty and the League is. Neither doc ument is worth the paper it is writ ten on unless the most efficient men and the ablest minds are devoted to administering the League. If the ap- yointnienta to the Assembly and the CoTincil of the League are not of the highest order, the I^eague will be a ^isinal and probably dangerous fail- becomes .effective next January and that if the enforcement measures now under discussion are adopted they will become permanent as a part of the machinery to be provided in putting the Eighteenth Amendment into 'ef fect. The brewers want permission to manufacture beer containing 2.75 per cent alcohol and claim it should rot be classed as an intoxicating bev erage. The prohibition advocates of both the House and Senate appear to be in agreement on defining the arti cle which sets the brain going as one containing more than one-half . per cent alchol. Dry sentiment prevails largely in both branches of Congress and the chances are that the prohibitionists will get what they want when a final vote is reached. There is no dis counting the fact that old man ** J. B. Corn” is tottering on the brink of de spair. BUY YOUR GROCERIES FROM SLEDGE. What is True Americanism 9 To believe that a free state should offer an asylum to the oppress ed and an example of virtue, sobriety and fair dealing to all the nations. 10 To believe that for the existance and perpetuity of such a state a man should be willing to give his whole service in property, in labor, and in life. Unite the 8 points named in the Prayer Corner of last week with the 2 points named above and that is Americanism; an ideal embodying it self in a people, a creed heated white hot in the furnace of conviction and hammered into shape on the anvil of life; a vision commanding men to fol- lov/ it wherever it may lead them. And it was subordination of self to that creed, that vision, that ideal, which gave eminence and glory to Washington and the men who stood with him. Renouncing the maxim of worldly wisdom which bids men, “get all you can, and keep all you get”, they resolved rather to give all they had to advance the common cause, to use every benefit conferred upon them in the service of the general welfare, to bestow upon the world more than they recieved from it; and to have a fair and unblotted account of bus iness done with life which should show a clear balance in their favor. This was their purpose and the ever favorite object of their hearts.—Van Dyke. A PRAYER O Almighty God, who fashioned the hearts of men and considered all their works. Grant, we beseech Thee to us and to all the people of this land the spirit of obedience to Thy Com mandments; that walking humbly in Thy fear, v/e may, under Thy mighty protection, continue to dwell in right eousness and peace. Defend our lib erties, preserve our unity, save us from lawlessness, dishonesty and violence, from discord and confusion, from pride and arrogance, and from every evil way. Continue Thy good ness to us, that the heritage received from our fathers may be preserved in our time and transmitted unimpaired to the generations to come, that all nations of the earth may know that Thou, O Lord, art our Saviour and mighty Deliverer, and our King for ever. Grant this we beseech Thee, thru Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen. C. D. C. CLINICS BEING HELD AT ERE- YARD INSTITUTE The first of a series of clinics for school children of the county opened this week at Brevard Institute. They are being held by Dr. H. H. Briggs of Asheville and Miss Birdie Dunn of the state board of health. Miss Dunn came to the county three v/eeks ago for the purpose of examining child ren of the public schools, whose health records indicated that they might be suffering froni adenoids or enlarged tonsils. Parents of children found to be in need of surgical treatment were requested by Miss Dunn to bring their children to one of the clinics for the necessary operation. These clinics are maintained here at the expense of the state for the bene fit of the school children of the coun ty. Many parents of the county are taking advantage of the opportunity afforded by this offer of the state board of health. Dr. Briggs and his large corps of assistants have been kept busy since the opening of the first clinic on Monday which will pro bably continue throughout the week. To date the applicants number be tween 90 and 100. Tuesday and Wednesday 27 of this number were sucessfully operated on by Dr. Briggs Asheville’s well-known specialist. Dr. Briggs was assisted by Drs. Sevier, Packard, and Mrs. Wolfe, trained nurse. Three other graduate nurses were in attendance and a num ber • of practical nurses tend their services. jpr. Briggs says Brevard Institute is an ideal hospital. The officials of that institution are doing everything to forward this work for the county. Several clinics will be held next week and the week after. The out- of- town children will be called first as far as it is possible. Parents are asked not to grow impatient for their turn as children will be called as fast as arrangements can be made for the services of the specialist. BUY YOUR BUTTERMILK FROM SLEDGE. CHILDREN FROM OXFORD GIVE CONCERT The singing class of the Oxford Orphanage sang here in the auditor ium last Thursday night. The audi ence was not so large as it perhaps would have been had the weather J been mor favorable. Those who went | to hear the children sing however ; were much pleased with the enter tainment received. The young sing ers presented a well selected program and each number was rendered with a skill which reflected much credit on the performers as well as their teach ers.
