CHIEF EXECUTIVE AT THE HELM i
Democrats may fittingly contend j
that President Wilson, in his recent |
message counseling Congress as to j
legislative action designed to correct j
abuse and punish extortion in the j
-manufacture, distribution and sale of
i
food and clothing, performed a sig
nal duty to the country and served
a solemn notice on the Senate by
reminding both that there can be no
stability in the United States or in
the world until the ratification of. the
treaty of peace has ended the status
of war.
*Tolitically, economically and so
cially the world is on the* operating
table, and it has not been possible
to administer an anesthetic,” declar
ed the President in picturing the sit
uation at home and abroad. The
courses which he proposes to Con
gress and those accredited to his own
executive associates at his direction
will palliate but cannot cure th^ evil
from which not only the United States
but all the people in both the old and
the new world are suflFering. The
war was not confined to the geograp
hical limits of the nations by which
it was waged. Its effects spread
across international boundaries; into
the life and relations of every'indi
vidual in the great family of humani
ty. But a Republican Senate cares
nothing about that.
The President goes on: “There can
be no confidence in industry, no cal
culable basis -for credits, no confi
dent buying or systematic selling, Ao
certain prospect of employment, no
normal restoration of business, no
hopeful attempt at reconstruction or
the proper reassembling of the dislo-
I
cated elements of enterprise until
peace has been establish and, so far
as may be, guaranteed.” The Senate
knows this, but the Republican lead
ers have asserted that Mr. Wilson’s
League of Nations “shall not pass”
and are making absolutely no effort
to terminate the present state of un
certainty, unrest and dislocation.. But
there is a duty coupled with respon
sibility that must be fulfilled, with
out further delay or evasion, else
the people of the country are going
to know the reason why.
President Wilson is deeply in ear
nest in the recommendations he
makes by way of statutory processes
to mitigate present excessive costs,
and to prevent and penalize unlaw
ful restraint of the trade, the im
pounding of supplies as a means of
unreasonable prices and the various
practices of the profiteers, which will
undoubtedly bring relief if Congress
moves with promptness and earnest- |
nest. The moral effect of the Presi
dent’s interest and interposition is
\ I
practically certain to be reflected in
the cessation of upward tendency, if j
not in the actual reduction of prices.
Already the leaven is at work. j
Wage-eamers and consumers gen
erally over the country are demand
ing that something be done without
delay to check the constantly advanc- |
ing prices of necessities. Prosecu- j
tion of those in combinations and
conspiracies to exploit the needs of',
the people; the revival of war regu-
I I
lations governing the storage and the '
'marketing of foodstuffs; the. label-
I ^ •
! ing of commodities so as to indicate
j profits which stand between the pro-
J ducer and the consumer are among
the wholesome plans which the Presi
dent urges Congress to remember at
this particular time. It will be difii- j
cult to reach every avenue of trade,
but the measures he proposes would |
' be effectual at least against the gros-:
j ser forms of extortion and are worth
the application of an acid test. |
i • 1 • I
j The President in his message goes
^ right straigh to the meat of an aggra
vating situation. Significant beyond
the purposes of the suggestions he
brings in the philosophy which sup-
* ports“them. He is apparently con
vinced that the governmental powers
1 which were invoked to mobolize the '
' country’s resources—fues, food, all
j clothing, mines, railroads and men |
and women—can very properly again '
jbe applied to the hardly less serious
problems confronting us in the tran-
; sition back to peace. And why not?
6,657 or 98.7 percent, maintained
schedule or made up time. These
percentages compwe respectively
with 96.6 and 96.8 in June.
The general average for all rail
roads during the month did not eqval
the high records set in May and June
although it continued to be good in
comparison with earlier records.
There were 53,256 passenger tnins
operated by the twentynine roads.
Of that number 49,248 or 92.5 per
cent maintained schedule or made up
time, while 47,774, or 89.7 per cent
arrived on time at final terminals.
Among the larger roads ,the South
ern, operating 15, 875 trains, stood
near the top of the list with 14,508,
or 91.4 per cent, reaching final ter
minals on time and 14,964, or 94.3
per cent, maintaining schedule or
making up time.
DAUGHTERS OF CONFEDERACY
MEET
SOUTHERN MAKES GOOD RE
CORD
In the campiugn for on-time pas
senger train service in the Southern
Region, the Illinois Central Railroad
in July again led all other lines, bet
tering its fine June record by put
ting 98.5 per cent of all its trains
into final slow connections. During
the month 6, 644 trains were operat
ed by this road and 6,550 of them j
reached their terminals in time, while
The Transylvania Chapter of the

“Mrs. Keach TelU How She Got to
Known Rat-Snap”
“Have always feared rats. Lately
noticed many on my farm. A neighbor
said he just got rid of droves with Rat
Snap. This started me thinking. Tried
Rat-Snap myself. It killed 17 and
scared the rest away.” RAT-SNAP

Can there be any stronger proof
offered than the evidence of Brevard
residents? After you have read the
following, quietly answer the ques
tion.
H. G. Rogrers, brakeman, Railroad
St., Brevard says: “Some years ago
I had a bad spell with my kidneys.
My back ached a good deal and
seemed to take the ambition out of
me. When I bent over I could hardly
straighten. I think being on my feet
so much and the jarring of the train
is what brought this trouble on.
Dizzy spells would come over me and
black specks would come before my
eyes. My head ached a good deal,
too. I was lame mornings and my
kidneys didn’t act as they should.
Hearing of Doan’s Kidney Pills, I got
a supply and soon I felt like myself
again.”

INVEST YOUR MONEY SAFELY
^ /
The ordinary man’s income is g^aduaL It comes week by week or month by month. He naturally wants
something into which he can make investments regularly and at the same time be laying up for a rainy day and
drawing legitimate interests. There are very few businesses or institutions into which he can make such small
regular investments with the assurance of good returns for every cent invested.
THE BUILDING AND LOAN
plan of saving was especially created for the man who wants to pay for a home with about what it takes to
meet the monthly rental.
The Brevard Building and Loan Association has aided hundreds of people of Transylvania county to
own their homes by making weekly payments. It has also paid others at least 6 per cent on their investments,
the shareholders having the privilege at all times of withdrawing their money if they find a more attractive use
for it. *
The Building and Loan is the working man’s friend.
S^id^ems opens on Septem^r 20, and if you wapt information's to how you c^n pay for a home
