THURSDAY NOVEMBER 18, 1920. NO 6. - m . the cry of the child. J, 500,000 Orphamd and War Stricken ; Littls Snffirirs to Be Carsd For. . Henry A? Pasre in Charlotte Observer, I recently addressed a tele- . gram to the president of theNorth Cirollna Association of Daily PuS lishers requesting the aid of that organization in presenting to N. Carolinians the appeal of the A merican relief commission for funds with which to feed and clothe 3,500,000 waif, under nour ished and orphaned children in the war-stricken areas of Europe. This ossociation very readily con sented to co operate in this work. I now venture to bring this char- - i table cause to your attention as an individual publisher and urge your active co-operation. ; During the past two winters this commission has cared for more than nine million waif, un dernourished, sick and orphaned children. This work required the "expenditure of more than fifty- seven million dollars. A system of food drafts was inaugurated that enabled friends and rela- . tives of persons in . Europe to purchase at any one or more than 4,000 banks in the United States a draft calling for the delivery of a certain amount of food at the ' warehouses of the American re lief commissions at principal points in Europe. The whole o verhead expense of the commis sion was covered by the profits on these food drafts, so that ev ery single dollar of gift repre s mis full value in food and cloth ing. ' This winter there will be ap proximately three million and a ' half children to be cared for. The funds of the commission will soon be exhausted. In order to prevent the death of an ap palling number of these helpless and. innocent children upon whom the future of Europe depends.- It will be necessary to raise immediately the sum of twenty-three million dollars. ' The small unit'of ten dollars will provide clothing and one meal a day for one child this win ter. V Over a large part of war torn Europa are these helplesss, inno cent children, with shrunken bod las and hollow faces, witti .twisted arms and warped legs, with little flesh and shriveled skin upon their bones, all of them Irom one to five years back Jn their, growth, dressed in rags, and hungry, standing in long lines around the relief stations of the - American - Relief . commiss ion. They are looking to America for their existence. Surely they - cannot be denied. Here is an op portunity for North Carolinians to actually buy the most price less and precious thing in all the world the life of a little child. North- Carolina must do her party and if North Carolinians are properly informed about the cry ing need of these, destitute chil dren I am supremely confident that they will readiiy respond. X am appealing to you and to other - publishers of North Carolina to " assist in properly presenting this great cause to the people of the state, and knowing as I do,, with what willingness the press of the ' press of ths state has always ai ... ded in every worthy causa I , make the appeal in the confident expectation that you will do your - full part. , .

(Statesville Landmark) It is a matter of note in this neck of the woods that the out ward and visible evidence of the consumption of intoxicants of some sort has materially increas ed within the past .two years, years. For some years after the prohibition laws got -in working order, to see a man visibly under the influence of liquor in this community was so rare as to excite comment. It would be an exaggeration to say that that evi dence of liquor drinking is as common now as it was in the days of barrooms. But it is a simple truth to say that the evidence of liquor driqking is becoming so conspicuous that it is a reminder of the days of the open bars. There is an evident lapsing. ' The evidence of booze of some sort among the crowds gathered to hear the election returns last Tuesday evening, was very sug gestive of the old days, and a par ticularly disturbing feature of that occasion was the number of youths under the influence of liquor. ' All this is not to discredit pro hibition laws, but to 'emphasize the fact that all the laws that can be enacted from now until the end of time are worthless unless public sentiment makes itself felt. Prohibition laws can be made effective but no law is self operative and no law is so depen dent on the force of sentiment as the prohibition law. It is nonsense to take it out in abuse of the officers. That is the disposition and charges are often glibly made, without an iota of evidence to sustainthem, that are not only slanderous but libel ous. Officers will be more dili gent when public sentiment make itself felt and when they are giv en the hearty ce-operation and support of the people. Some of those who are most abusiveof the officers haven't the nerve to re ports case, to volunteer as a wit ness or to give' any. assistance whatever. Moreover, the dili gence of the "officers is chilled when they exert themselves to get the evidence to convict viola tors of this law a most difficult job and then see" the violators released with practically no pun-. ishment. What's the use of going to all the trouble to secure con viction if the violator is not to be effectively punished? And yet at the last tonn of the court tines were imposed in liquor cases which an active bootlegger would recover by the sale of a quart. or so of liquor. The last court was not an exception. The whole business is more or-less a' farce. But no indignation meeting is held to protest when the courts or the Governor turn criminals loose or let them off so lightly tnat it amounts to encouraging crime. The people allow that sort of thing to go on without tak ing action that would make itself felt. The truth is that those who are disposed to override the law are allowed such freedom that presently those who protest will endanger their personal safety The lawless will be in. control That isn't so far off now. The trend is very much that way. NOTICE.

This the 27th day of Oct., 192V , 4tp. I F. CAMPBELL.- Short Rations At Hand. It is a regretful but none the less certain anticipation that la bor is to suffer the brunt of ex perience while the country is reaching for the bottom. Lack of demand is causing a slacking down' in all 'ndustries . and . in some instances a complete. clos ing down of activities as in the case of the large lumbering plant of the Ropers at New Bern where 1,000 men are now in idleness. The clothing manufacturing in dustry in New York, represented by the United Hebrews Trades, is in bad straits, the out-of-works now having been swollen to near ly 150,00. The reaction after the election, was slow in developing, but there are some good authori ties in finance and com merce who expect that the turn for the bet ter may" bo reached before the ending of the present year. In any event, they h6ld that it is sure to come before the opening of Spring, but in the . mean time it is short ration for a season for some who were but recenrly in the swirl of extravagant revalry. Happy the family that kept the saving account going! Charlotte Observer .
