FRIDAY, AUGUST 18, 1919ff THE EDITORS IN LINE In America today we“have two mil lion wage-earners employed by the railroads of Ae country presenting, through their representatives, a pro position that the government shall ^ake over these various lines of trans portation and inaugurate a co-opera tive plan of management in which the employees would have a large share of responsibility. Labor has, in a measure, succeeded in cooperative enterprises when it (insisted simply of co-operative stores and marketing. In the larger sphere of business un dertakings results might be different. But this is a matter for Congress and we dare say will be given the consid- The Nev/ Pled Pip®* The North Carolina editors are standing squarely for the League of Nations. In their annual meeting at Wrightsville Beach on August 2nd a resolution endorsing the Covenant in unmistakable terms was adopted with only three dissenting votes. One member of the Association objected to article X and two others voted with him on a reconsideration of the question, which was reopened for the : c*‘^tion it deserves, purpose of debate, out of courtesy to objector who was absent when first vote was taken. All objections were finally withdrawn and a unanimous vote was recorded in favor of the resolution as it came from the com mittee. A copy was ordered sent to President Wilson, Ex-President Taft, Senator Reed of Missouri, and to - each member of the United States' Senate. Article X of the covenant of the League of Nations appears to have been the target selected for attack by* practically everyone who feigns any objection at all. Fully nine-tenths of these have neither read the arti cle, nor heard any fair exposition of its consents. They are blindly fol lowing a class of folks who seek to liscredit the President for* partisan The President of the ynited States has requested all of the shopmen to return to work pending a settlement of the differences. Not only that, the ‘ President is engaged in working out plans for the reduction of sky rocket prices on necessities and asks for the united support of all classes of citizens in the effort to stamp out profiteering and relieve a situation which is highly repulsive to the Amer ican conscience. It is hoped that Mr. Wilscn will receive the active and the earnest support of every fair-minded man and woman in the country as he proceeds with the gigantic task c6n- gress has imposed upon him. United we stand, divided we fall. DONT Let HIM LUnZ AWAY YOUR GOVERNMENT ^ECURiTlEd. You remember how the Pied Piper of Hamlin Towil played a eiren tuno on his pipe and lured the children away. The land ii now full of Pied Pipers who arc trying to induce people to sell their Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps. They are making “golden" promises; they are offering stock in con cerns which they say will make you rich. Hold your government securities. Don’t, let the Pled Pipers make a laughing stock and a sucker out of you. HE TELLS WHAT HE THINKS OF AMERICA •yrlan Says Now Is Time For Every Man To Prove Patriotism—An swer Found in War Savings Stamps. The Republicans have been crit icising the Democrats for high prices lS2asons.i Those who have taken a but congress, republican that it is broad and liberal view of the article consider that it represents one of the longest steps forward that has ever been taken in international relation ships. Here is the exact text of it: “The members of the League un dertake to respect and preserve as against external aggression the ter ritorial integrity and existing politi cal independence of all members of • the league. In case of any such ag gression or in case of any threat or danger of such aggression, the coun cil shall advise upon the means by which this .obligation shall be ful filled.” This is as plain as the English lan guage can make anything that the league contemplates the protection of the small nations against the threats or aggresssions of the larger ones. It does not signify that hasty action must be taken by any party to the compact, but specifically pro- ' vides consideration by the cjouncil first. The New York World very aptly suggests that Article X is the Magna Charta of the small nations; for it lays do^ the rule , that wars shall not be undertaken for the pur pose of conquest. And further, that striking this article from the cove nant would be equivalent to striking “Thou shalt not steal” from the Ten Commandments. The WorldVgoes on: “The alternative to Article X is Prussianism. Either we arc against wars of conquests »r we are not, and if we are against them, our antagon ism matters little unless we are ready to make it effective. Article X is the embodiment of the great lesson of this terrible conflict, which began as a iwar of aggressii^ on the part of a powerful country against a weak cpuntify. • “Article X is the noblest statement of international policy that came out of the Peace Conference. For the first time the great nations are com mitted to the vital principle of the Declaration of Independence, and whoever really believes that the in dividual has an unalienable right to lifet . liberty and 4he pursuit of hap- I* . •* -piness mtist likewise believe'that the has offered no remedy. In fact, the members were on the eve of depart ing for home when a Democratic President asked thein to remain in Washington and attend to the bus iness of the country. And he is giv ing the bretheren something to think about, in the meantime. Woodrow Wilson is the man of action. See?

The native- born is often too close to the situa tion to realize what this country means to the world today. He is used to all that it offers, taking It as a mat ter of course, and frequently loses the vision in sordid detail; while the new-comer—'but lisCen to what one of them had to say. He is George E. Rihbany of the 1919 class of the Boston High School of Commerce and Iw came to this country from his native land. Syria, when he was 10 years old. In a four- minute speech on the value of War Savings Stamps, given at the school recently, he said in closing: "Hate is not characteristic of the American people, but the Germans taught us unwillingly how to hate them. Now it is a sin not to hate the spirit the Hun showed and not to abol ish it from the face of the earth. Of the latter we are positively sur»,. Iie- canse the American passion for juft- tice is a hnndred times stronger than was the Qerman passion for conquest. •*1 never entertained the idea of be coming an orator and I am sure that I lack oratorical ability, but such Qualifications are unnecessary on; an occasion like this, because the only and besl inducement to a true Ameri can is the call of his duty and govern ment, and not even the best oration the greatest speaker of all times. “Whether we all realize it or netr we are now in the midst of a period KEEP GRff ON YOUR WAR SAVINGS STAMPS Advertising Clubs Issue Warning To ^ Protect the Public Against Ubiqui tous Stock Swindler’s. Various ways for prospective Inves* tors to detect the unscrupulous stock promoters arfe contained is a bulletin recently issued by the National Vigi lance ComiQitteei of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World. The bulletin indicates several unmistaka ble signs of the “wild cat” stock ped- dleis which owners of War Savings Stamps and Liberty Bonds will do well to consider before exchanging their valuable securities for the offerings of northern stocks. The warning to prospective investors is as follows: “So far as we bars been able to as certain not a single case hae ever been reported where the promoters of a le gitimate, worthy fnterpiise have of fered to take Liberty Bonds in pay ment for the capital stock of a new company. We beliero that the very offer to take Liberty Bonds should piompt the bond owner to consult a banker or legitimate broker as to the value of the stock that is offered in exchange for the bonds. The offer to exchange is an earmaiir which should serve as a warning. "Another earmark of the faker Is hfs attitude when it is proposed to postpone action pending an investiga tion. He will usually sneer at the thought of consulting a banker or broker of standing, suggesting that, of course, they would not recommend the stock because they ha-ve sto<fks of their own to sell. "In such a case the prospective in vestor might be sensible enough to ren^ember that it is the one who casts reflections upon business men of which will be known to all the op pressed peoples of the world as the standing who is likely to be the lly- Amcricanization period. Now is the time for every one of us to prove wlicther he is a sham American or a genuine American.” The practice of thrift and the pup- ehase of War Savings Stamps are just now good indications of the genuine American. They make for financial independence, freedoy, prosperity and happiness.

Don’t Order C Doyle Bri^rd, N. C. Just how good American money looks to a man away from home is illustrated by the story told by one of those boys who fought in France in the war for the preservation of cMl- is&tion, and who afterwards saw eer- vlce across the border in Germany. Sergeant H. H. Coffee was attached to Company L, 354th Infantry, and for six months was at Trier, Germany. 30 miles ffom Luxemberg. - Now he Is back home.' “While we were In Prance,” ' said Sergeant Coffee, “we were paid in French money. And afterward, when wc were in German^ we were paid in Qerman money. The difference be tween the French a^ld^Ge^man money, as compared with United States mon- s^ey, is amazing. It Is printed on white paper, and one gets an awful wad of it for ccinpTratively a small quantity of Ar''\rican money. “When we got this foreign stuff the boys were very liberal with it. They would gamble with it, would lend it and handle it very carelessly. But when we got to Brest on our way home, and that money was exehsinged for real American money, all that lib erality disappeared, and it was guard ed zealously." That is one of the lessons the war has taught. American money, any promise to pay on the part 'Of Uncle Sam, Is mighty valuable in the eyes Of the world. That Is why thp Liberty Bonds found so ready a market, and that is why the War Savings Stamps lo&’c j as good as money.
