It's lots of fun, and much honor to our soldiers, to blow out a MByl eyes with a giant firecracker, isn't it? It was a stupendous pageant; but do you want to sea it repeated for some unknown soldier killed in a war with Japan? 'New York World thinks New York never votes for anybody. The great city sustained the World handsomely in the city election of Tuesday. It doesn't look so much of a "vic tory for Americanism" when the om nium gatherum which helped to win for your man succeeds in beating an other of your men. And, after passing the barrage on Elm strost, Greensboro finds it anoth er November 11 at the end of which she can draw a sigh of relief at hav ing escaped from grave perils. One thing about these Kentucky elections feuds may have escaped your attention: They generally result in killing a lot of fellows who apparently ought to have been put out of the way. The Hylan men were fearful that former President Wilson might in dorse his candidacy and hurt hint; but even that could not have over turned a hlf million majority. The Russellitcs are running a series of nation-wide lectures on "Millions Now Living Will Never Die." Might with equal truth say that "Millions Now Living have always Been Very Dead." Mr. Wells is of course a great rlterk but we should hate mightily to count on him, at his present rate of turning in copy, to catch our bull doe; edition for the eastern portion of the atate. Prohibitionists are going to carry on a campaign for tho suppression of prohibition jokes. That ought at least to furnish employment fur a lot of deserving Democrats who are at present without state jobs. The moral of the Thomasville af fair seems to be that the ultimate test of tho ability of a high financier is knowing exactly when to take a little trip to prevent tho business from be coming altogether too confining. "There must be, there shall be, the commanding voice of a conscious civilization against armed warfare.' Rank league of nations stuff, Mr. Harding; better watch out, or the senate, will be attending to you for that! ' Timely admonition from the Rocky Mountain Telegram: "Chairman Hull would do well to begin schooling prospective Democratic presidential candidates in the fundamentals of the pime of golf." Golf has dwelt in the White House 16 years. i . i . .... The akillfulneaa- of All Sin's- pre liminary propaganda leads us to sus pect that this conference business is another "game he ilid not under stand," exactly as he did not under stand the fine points of cue lire, us reported by Truthful James. As we size up the situation, Wood- row Wilson has been proved wrong by 7,000,000 majority; but the trou ble is, the fool people don't know it, ,smd insist en throwing up their hats Hid hollering their heads off every time they catch sight of him. It must be a great grief to Mr, Lodge that the people will carry on so) but we don't know just what be can do about GREAT WORDS, MR. PRESIDENT AND BOLD. - This--American -soldier went forth to battle with no hatred for any peo ple In the world, but hating war and hating the purpose of every war for conquest He cherished our national rights, and abhorred the threat of armed domination; and in the mael strom of destruction and suffering and death he fired his shot for libera tion of the captive conscience of the world. In advancing toward his ob jective was somewhere thought of a world awakened; and we are here to testify undying gratitude and rev erence f or "tha t " thooght-of aider- freedom." Only gratitude and reverence, Mr. President? They arfi line sentiments, no doubt; bul only sentiments. And it is not fitting for the strongest and most energetic nation in the world to be sentimentalizing. But that isn't all. Hear What more the President of the United Btates said, standing over the bier of the unknown soldier t "Standing today on hallowed ground, conscious that all America has halted to share in the tribute of heart and mind and soul to this fel low American, and knowing that the world is noting this expression of the republic's mindfulness, it is fitting to say that his sacrifice, and that of the millions dead, shall not be in vain. There must be, there shall be, the commanding voice of a ' conscious civilization against armed warfare." Great words.Mr. President, if we mean them, and if we have the cour age, the resolution and skill to make them good. And spoken in that pres ence, on that occasion, in the pres ence of that multitude, they assume the solemnity and significance of an oath, sworn by the head of this na titm "There must be,- there etotK be" not merely an announcement, a' promise made before God and man; it it the language of leadership, con fident of its strength and Of the jus tice of its cause "the commanding voic. or J-onscioui... civilization against armed warfare." Not an agreement, not a compromise, not a meeting of the "best minds" -a commanding voice. .'Great words Mr. President, and bold words. No room for that petty arrogance, miscalled nationalism, that clings as to something sacred to the evil doc trine that a nation must reserve the right to break the laws, of God and man, Or lose something of its sover eignty. No room here for the ossified traditionalism that translates the frank opportunism of the past into holy scripture. No room here for' old and foul prejudices against other nations simply because they do not sea eye to eye with us in all things. No room for craven fear of doing right, lest some one take advantage of it. Nothing but the single pur pose of doing justice, nothing but the straight and narrow code of honor. Stand to those words, Mr. Presi dent, and many who have doubted and distrusted you will take heart of hope again. Stand to them, not only in Arlington cemetery, but in the conference "room and capitol when the storm of opposition bursts upon you, and we shall begin to believe that we have leader worthy of the one whom you succeeded. Stand to them although the assault breaks you as it shattered him, and you, too, will have fired your shot for liberation of the captive conscience of the world. CHINA IN THE CONFERENCE. Mr. Gilbert writes interestingly and informingly of China and the consortium; but we could wish that he had, taken time to explain what he means by China, The opposition to the consortium is the opposition of the Peking government. The Canton government is not represented in the conference, nor is any of the half dozen semi-independent govern ments in the interior. .. There it the really hopeless factor in the Chinese situation, One never knows with whom he is dealing. In fact, all that one ran be certain of is that no matter which faction one rec ognizes, he will ' be Ignoring 'the bulk of the Chinese people. The Peking government controls an in considerable territory immediately surrounding the Manchu capital. The Canton government controls a similar territory around that southern city, The bulk of the country is in the hands of the military leaders, robber barons who recognize no sovereignty. Therefore it is misleading to speak of what China wishes, or what China claims, at the Washington conference. China is not represented there. A small group of Chinese leaders, whose geographical position has enabled them to secure control of Peking, has delegates it the conference; but this group Is not China, and its delegates cannot speak for China. .There- Is much evidence, indeed, that the polit icsl philosophy of this group is dia metrically opposed to the political philosophy of the people of the United States, There is reason to believe that tho Peking group is headed by rtnen who hope for, and work toward, a Mnnchu restoration that is to say, men. who believe that force is right fully the final authority in political affairs. If the people of the United States were certain of ' that, they would have no hand in any program that contemplated turning- over the Chinese people to such control ' While we are not prepared to con demn the state department for having failed to recognise the Canton gov ernment, yet we wish that some method might have been worked out to permit of its being heard at this '"'.!."

His whole career has apparently been motivated by the desire to accomplish something for his country. The fact that the Peking government has set" a price on his head is, to our mind, less proof that Sun Yat-Sen is a traitor than reason for strong suspicion of the Peking government itself. We cannot help believing that a really honest government would have the support of the only apparently honest Chinese politician known to the west ern world. . We are strongly in favor of a.lib- eTHt attitudetowaTtf "Chinain "the coming conference. We believe that the United States should befriend China, . But before we commit our selves we should like to know that it is really China that we are befriend ing, and not mejtely a group of In triguing royalists. THE INTENT OF THE ROAD LAW. State Treasurer Lacy resting upon his citation of a single section of the road law and the dictum that Dally News editorial articles emerge from a concrete head, it may be well, before the matter Is lost sight of,, to quote some more of the law. It is provided in section 26, to be sure, that for the purpose of "carrying out the provi sions of this act and provide" sloppy English here, as in various other parts of the act "for the mainte nance and construction of the high ways , . . from the funds derived from the various taxes levied under this act, there shall first be set aside the sum of $250,000 annually, or so much thereof as may be necessary to' defray the expenses of the state highway commission. There shall next be set aside a sum annually sufr ficlent to pay the interest on the bonds Issued under this act, the re mainder of said fund to be used . . in the maintenance of the highways taken over." TJientotiQriotM..JSfa,?H?e? appears totbe that there is at present sufficient llw, constitutional and stat ute, to buiW a state highway system. There is no Regardless of priority of applica tion of the special tax money as set out in the section quoted, there is the most explicit mandate running through the act, that the highways shall be .maintained. There is no more emphasis on construction than there is on maintenance ; therefore no more emphasis, take the law as a whole, on paying interest from a given fund, on construction debt, than on paying for maintenance. Thus in section 2, "The general purposes of this act arc for the state to lay out, take over, establish and construct, arid assume control of" highways; "to assume control of the' atate highways, repair, construct, and reconstruct and maintain said high ways." And section 3, "That the purpose and intent of this act is to establish a system of state highways for the state . . . and maintaining the entire system of said highways in the most approved manner as out lined in this act." Then there is section U, which begins, "In assuming control of the roads constituting the state highway system the commission shall assume as soon as 'practicable the mainte nance and upkeep of said roads, and shall as soon as practicable organize a proper and sufficient patrol force to keep said roads in good condition," The purpose of the set Is clear enough; it is the purpose that was in the minds of the people to con struct and maintain a system of highways. The net is finally defec tive in that it does not provide means for doing these things; it could not, under the revenue scheme now in force. Issuing ten millions of dollars in bonds per year, or thereabouts, re ceiving three millions and upwards per annum from tho motor car. own ers, paying interest and spending an approximate million annually on maintenance, there will come a time, about 1930, the exact year depend ing on factoi's that cannot be defi nitely foreseen, when the highway commission's income will be less than its expenditures. If tho school of fiscal economy that holds that money borrowed by a state Is never to be paid, but always to lie refunded, is to prevail in this state, then either for paying interest, or for maintenance since both are to come out of the same pocket, it makes no difference which comes out first ome more bonds will have to be sold :road bonds that are not to be used in the construction of roads; or else the rjiotor car owners will have thereafter to-be subjected to Increasingly heavy levies. It is Inev itable that if that policy is followed long enough, the cost of owning and operating a car in the slate will be come prohibitive, and the roads will be, as automobile roada, for the ex clusive, use of people, from other states. WILL A VIGILANCE COMMITTEE BE NECESSARY? If the city of Greensboro is made defendant in a half-dozen damage suits today it will be no more than the city administration has invited by its course in turning over the helpless population yesterday to the reckless fools who made Armistice day a men ace to life, limb and property, a nerve-racking experience to the well and a horror to the sick. We do not believe that the natural impulse of the people to celebrate such an occa sion should be restricted by a too rigid enforcement e-f every rule and regulation that applies to all days. If citizens, and especially the young sters, feel inclined to celebrate Armistice day with mere or less racket, no great harm will be done if the police discreetly turn their backs for once. But mere noise b one thing, and hurling giant charges of explosives into crowds of women and children is quite an other. None but a constitu tional grouch will resent an assault on his ear-drums on such an occasion; but when ft comes to a threat of pub' ting out people's eyes and burning up the town, It is time for prompt and drastic action. The Providence that is commonly credited with look ing after Children, drunks and fools was certainly watching over Greens bord yesterday, or a goodly section of the city would be a pile of black ened ruins this morning. There , are noise-making con trivances in plenty to celebrate the merriest holiday without the use of fireworks, and in a town of this size the erime of scatteringly explosives along the streets should be punished with severe penalties. When it comes to standing in the upper stories of business buildings and tossing giant firecrackers into the crowds on the street below, the penalty Should in clude a jail sehtenee. The taxpayers of Greensboro have enough to do to support the city gov ernment, without being compelled to pay out great sums in damages as a result of the government's neglect of its plain duty. Christmas is ap proaching. Does the city propose to compel law-abiding citizens to go through another inferno, such as Elm street was converted into yesterday? If it does, then it is time to organize a vigilance committee THE CIVITANS. Now the Civitans. At the .meeting oT lne"(jreensDo'ro cM the Sine? even ing, precedent to the meeting to or ganize a. state association, it is notwl that the following things were dis cussed : Public education of a pro phylactic nature, on cancer; prepa rations for the armistice day parade; tha tubercular hospital election. This gives an ' indication of the meaning of the new organization, ad ding to what is furnished by its name. The Civitans are going to work in their own way, whatever that may be In a new field, become familiar fh the past few years. They simply add another to the forces laboring for community progress along certain lines. A number of terms might be applied, as making the town, the world, a better place to lire in; mak ing easier things that have always been especially difficult to a lot of people; helping in the most practical way people who need help; giving the boys and girls a chance in life that adults never hadj making life cleaner ; making life happier for more and more people. And thus it is a fine thing that the new association is gathering force, that it is- enrolling the best, most purposeful and most dependable men in the towns; that it has formed a state organization and so given a pledge of permanence. There cannot ever be too many of these organized bodies striving along practical paths toward the ideal ; always learning, and always teaching, a special sort of culture that combines the utilitarian, the spiritual and the truly esthetic. How much is the city getting for the fireworks-sale concession that in effect licenses the use, of explosives on the streets of Greensboro on a day of solemn memorial, and on Christ mas day? Unless the sum Is quite large, it is very probable that, even with taxes as heavy as they are, cit izens could be found who would bo willing to make up that sum by dona tion. It could i ardly be called a suita ble atmosphere that was provided in Greensboro yesterday for prayer for the success bf the Washington con ference. But perhaps some of the devout sought the rural solitudes, or the seclusion of sound-proof closets. The German government is now Wlrthless and tho German money nearly so. SIIFARS AND PASTE Bone for a Pfemlam Meaas Better Bnslneaa At Hans-. While there war those that said that It could not ba done, and It la certainly discouraging news to the man that has earned the ciaastncatton of a spreader o( gloom, neverthelese an announcement yesterday from the Stat Treasurer's nlflca Indicated that North Carolina State fives had been sold for a premium. And there was not a measly few of them purchased at that but rather nve million dollars worth and there was a premium paid deapltc the fact that the premium was smull. This certainly should be rather discomforting and depressing to the man that has been going about preach ing hard times, gloom, poor bualneaa and depression generally, and ,it may well be taken aa a forerunner of events which may force him to ehange his text. At any rats November seems to hare started things on nesrer nil even key than has been occasioned In the past eighteen months, and hot alone have liberty bonds drawn closer o their face value and one Issue reaehct par but eight of the twelve fviieral reserve districts have cut their interest rate back to live per cent, - - Things are opening up In moat every line of business, and more especially where that bualneaa has encountered lta readjustment, haa disposed of Its high priced goods and taken Its loss and Is not bidding for business on a competitive basis because they know the public is going to- buy that way.

At the same time that fellow undoubtedly took the long profit In the goods which he purchased prior to the advance and the war time prosperity. An axiom that has been generally circulated and is seen stuck up here and there as, a reminder that "Hard times are not eomlng, it Is 'Jusf good times going" expresses the condition pretty aptly, and the business that may have promptly undertaken to gei back to normalcy hasn't suffered a great lot at that, especially, if they took their losses and charged them off and then went out for business with a drive on the cost of replacing the goods or raw materials wnicn it was necessary for them to have, to do busi ness. - Mnnev Is getting cheaper and when money can be had at a price that will make It profitable for fellows to bor row It, it is a generally accepted fact that somebody will start something.

If a "woman and her husband are living in Tarboro. and tha husband claims his residence In South Carolina, the wife cannot register or vote in Tarboro. This was the ruling of the local register last election. Another interesting case has come to light In the city fit Boston: A woman whoae husband establishes his legal residence at a club loses the' right to vote In this state. Her only recourse under existing laws, It was brought out recently, would be to go there and live with him. Other cities cited included that of a Urookllne woman who did not know the whereabouts of her husband and was refused registration, and that of a woman In Sharon who said that she was legally separated from her hus band, but had been given to understand that she was not "divorced enough" to jpalntaln a separate residence and so could not vote. As It looks now woman suffrage may separate some wives from their hus bands. This Is a legal status that should be taken up and looked into by the next leglslature.--Tarboro Southerner. " The my Belt. " Mr. John W. Khelton, of Campbell, was here Tuesday. Mr. Sheltnn lives In what Is now known as the "dry belt," a strip ot territory conslstlmt of about 50 square miles In Peters Crsek and Snow Creek townships, Stokes county, extending eaat, from Lawionvllle to Oak nidge church, about 10 miles n length, and horth from little Snow Creek to the Virginia line and-being about five miles In width. Within this area, from May 2S to September 28 practically ho rain fall. Tobacco crops were ruined, corn dried up on the stalk, almost no feedstuff, or garden - vege tables were raised. This unfortunate conlitlon followed a very poor wheat crop. Consequently the good people In this Vdry belt" are hit hard. Their tobacco what llltlo was made had to be cut and cured green. Many of the farmers will have to depend on other sections for forage for their stock and cattle. All over Stokes county, and practically everywhert else, a serious drouth occurred this year, but nowhere of which we have any record was It mora severe than In the "dry belt" of northern stokes.
