A. . 1 1 K lV'N , IU (JMjr OTP OUR RETIRING PRESIDENT. There sits in the White House today the most tragic figure in the world. He came to the Presi dency at a time when the civiliz ed world was almost falling to pieces. Confronted by issues which the wisest statesmen could not have foreseen, forced into the maelstrom of world events from which our traditional policy required us to stand aloof, faced by such herculean tasks as never statesmen faced before, he has never for one moment lost sight of the star of his Christian ideal ism. He has preached th egospel of the brotherhood of nations with a clearness and power that have gripped the imagination of the world. Even his worst enemies have to admit that he is a man of lofty ideals, great force, and far-seeing vision. Perhaps he is a hun dred years ahead of his own gen eration. Probably he has made mistakes Whathuman being has not? Probably he has been too idealistic for this selfish age. But his administration carried the country through the greatest un dertaking that ever fell to the lot of this nation without the sus picion of dishonesty or dishonor; it cared for some four millions of new soldiers as no army has ever been cared for in the history of the world; it carried two millions of men across the seas in the face of murderous and unseen foes with scarely the loss of a man; it forced to their knees the proudest and haughtiest ruler and nation of modern times. At the peace table Mr. Wilson pleaded the cause of the weak and defenseless nations until he could plead no more. He bound forty nations of the vrorld togeth- er in a league and forced them to desist from fighting to prevent war. Having done all this, he came home to face political oppo sition that never for one moment had cowed his lion heart, but that wrecked his already over worked physique just when vic tory seemed within his grasp. His critics say his work was faul ty, and they propose to mend it. They can now have the chance to do so if they can agree among themselves as to what the faults are and how they can be correct ed. But for his courageous man liness, for his refusal to compro mise his firm convictions of na tional duty, for his pure Chris tian idealism in atfairs of govern ment. Woodrow Wilson will shine as a star of the first magnitude in the galaxy of the world's grea test and best long after the mem ' ory of his critics has been buried in the dust of oblivion. In fact, some men's names will live in history only because they criti cised Woodrow Wilson. Dr. E. B. Chapel, in Twin City Times. THE CHASE (Henry E. Warner) The longer you live, The less you know; The farther you travel, You've farther to go; The more you know, The more you've to learn, To the end of the lane And its last long turn. The richer you get, The poorer you are;, The end of ambition's A never-reached star; And the higher the power, The harder 'twill fall, And a bump on the bean Is awaiting us all. And what I would say In this trivial verse; The worst that can happen Wight well have been worse. So why should we wo rry . With useless regret? Let's get all we can and Keep a 11 that we get.

Could anything be more utterly silly? North Carolina will have the same story to tell, and the reason for it is very simple. -If the board is established the salaries attached will be so small that no body will serve for them except people with third-rate brafns; and if you get a board that serves for any other reason than the salary yo will have aloard of fanatics worse than'stupid If the federation wants clean nume suuwa n wu ei uicui In fact, m most of the larger towns -in all that we know any t-liinrv nUrxnf .it.

Ann ng other things he alleges that the Democratic egistrars have failed to enforce the law in regard to the reading and writing contest. Since the question has been raised by "a republican and as the time for pvparing an answer is very short), we would appreciate any information that would assist in preparing answer, giving the names of Republican men under the age of 38 years and Republi can women of whatever ago who were allowed to register and who actually voted and could not read or write. Also give the names of Republicans permitted to vote who were disqualified on grounds of residence, failure to pay poll tax, age, or any other, reasons. Please convey any information with respect to the matter to the undersigned at as early a date as possible. DEMOCRATIC EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. Better Days Ahead (or the South A prominent business of North Wilkesboro, has received the fol lowing letter from an Atlanta business house giving their opin ion as to the business in t h e South, that makes good reading: "This is just a letter of good cheer. Somebody has said thai the darkest hour is just before the dawn; and if that be so, day break is surely near ana a mighty bright, sunshiny day at that. "Observers on the hill-tops tell us that they can now see the ro sy "tipped fingers of the dawn drawing aside night's sable cur tain and that ere long a great Hood of brightness will awaken the drowsy world. They point to the starting up of the wheels of industry and of the quickened pulse of commerce as the first signs of the passing of the night. Soon will follow the busy stii ifnd activity of the new day. "After such a nightmare as most of us have had, few of us will feel like joining in with the roosters in crowing for the day but there are always a lot ol nice, juicy worms crawling ar omul after such nights of depre: siou as we have just had and it i usually the early bird that gets tnem.
