And aftor the mucgy warmth ot tho last 48 hours that doesn't scare us a bit. If the American friends of the Mar shal of France do not kill him with kindness It will be because they are moro or leas forcibly restrained. The international conference has settled down to tho even tenor of its way; which probably means that the heavy work has commenced, under the surface, - They who call J. W. Bailey a pes simist do that great and good man a wrong. He is not a pessimist but merely the Farmers' union candidate for governor of North Carolina. Great Britain has already com menced her naval holiday. Count on 3. Bull to recognise a good business proposition when he sees it, and to take instant advantage of It. He hasn't boen in business mare than 800 years for nothing. Corporations are soaked for an ad ditional tax of 2Va per cent of their Incomes by the conference commit tee's new tax bill. After all, the lit tle follows may not be able to dis cover, by their tax returns, that the excess profits tax has been abolished. State Farmers' union favors refer endum on war, and, of course, know ing that tho "fa-l-r-m-e-r-B" oppose war, no foreign nation would think of fighting until the election had been heard from. Bo McMillin has been offered $7,000 a year to coach Howard col lege football team. Another chnncc for J. W. Bailey to show that is twice ns much ns a farmer gets for roach--faiR-a mule. team ,. All the various children's homos are calling-for, and deserve, special con sideration this week, "but if any pro vide nt for his own, nnd specially for those of his own house, he hath tie. tiled the fnith, nnd is worse than tin - Infidel." The North Carolina Chil dren's Home yocicty is, in ii n'liso, of Urecnsnorn s nwn nous1, - i hu fcuwu falls down on that job, it is pretty safe to pvrdict Hint it won't do much for other institutions, farther nwav Tho American government hni revel maintained ihnt'the r.r.:l rutin of naval strength nmonc the three greatest maritime powers is theorct- , lcally .correct or desirable. It main tains merely that that ratio exists, nd proposes to the rest of the world to let it remain there, rather than en gage in a race to see who can upset It to hi own advantage. The Amcr can idea is that it Is better to live under conditions that do not nnnrox- Imate the ideal than, by striving for the ideal, to risk upsetting the whole scheme of International comity. Half loaf, in other words, is better than no bread. It h to be hoped that Ja nan can aee it that wnv. THE WEST VIRGINIA. The superdreadnaught West Vir ginia was launched yesterday. In every particular of offensive and de fensive force, ' her design comprises the utmost that American inventive ingenuity can contrive. Completed she would represent the flowering of tho ages, in knowledge gained in a hundred departments of mechanical science and in experience in naval war. For a year and seven months men and machinery have been busy in the construction of her vast hull "what anvils rang, what hammers beat," more than 200 yards long and nearly 100 feet wide. Into her as she floats at last in the element upon which she was built to bear the flag and prestige of America, in the pride and dignity of unlimited warlike power G5 per .cent complete, there has been put a fortune. The motion pictures will in a few days show her to millions of Ameri cans at the moment when Hhe starts, she moves; aha seems to feel The thrll) of life along her keel. It would be well if the picture might go into all the world. For the doom of this splendid structure had been pronounced before her natal hour. If the other ' naval powers agree, the West Virginia, lutest, mag nificent bride of old Ocean, is devoted to sacrifice on the altar of peace on earth. Sho is but one of many sacri ficial offerings proposed; but the sol emn circumstances of her sur render by the country that built her, out of the treasure hard-won by its people's toil, invest this ship with a singular ability to proclaim to the understanding of the peoples the meaning that America strives to give to the conference she has invited. On tho altar of peace on earth, we have written. For the plan America offors will, among other things, make it greatly more difficult, if not im possible, for any one of the great naval powers to cross the interven ing ocean and invade the other's ter ritory. That will not insure tho end of war; but it will be a long stride in that direction, and it proceeds con sciously in that direction. DO IT NOW. In all North Carolina there is hard ly a man with so little of the milk of human kindness in his heart that he would deliberately refuse to do any thing for the bonefit of the orphan children of the state. Indeed, if we knew a man that mean, we should be positively afraid of him; for a man who is absolutely deaf to the cry of a needy child is deaf to every sort of moral obligation. But the mere fact that everybody recognizes the claim of the needy children on the decent people of the state, and the fact that everybody is, in principle, willing to contribute, doesn't get the orphans anything. As Mister Vitus Marsden, alias The Wild cat, remarked, you cain't buy no cash groceries wid a tale of woe; and if the orphans have nothing but a tale of how everybody Is their friend, but their friends forgot to send in the cash, why they might as well haveno friends. This is Thanksgiving week, and the Thanksgiving season has for years been dedicated, in North Carolina, to the relief of the orphans through con tributions to the 20-odd institutions that care for them in this state. The people are always willing to con tribute to this work. The only trou ble is In getting them to do it now. You see, there are no collectors out, there is no organized "drive," and it is fatally easy for people to make a mental note to give something, and then forget the note. Many a man who would gladly give something if somebody asked him for it, never comes across simply because he is not asked. If all the people of the state were of that type, where would the orphans be? A large part X the funds raised for their benefit would be consumed by the expenses of col lection. Yet It is tho enslest thing In the world to discharge one's duty in this regard. Even the amount has been worked out for each contributor. It is the price of one day's labor at your rogulnr wage, or one three hundred and sixty-fifth of your yearly income, if you live upon your income. Surely, that is no unreasonable demand, yet the burden of it lies equally upon all elnSsesT " "It means murtr f rom-the rich not so much from the poor. But if everybody answered it, the children would be cared for. Have you your check-book handy ns you road this? Well, the Record ing Angel isn't going to regard it as any violation of the Sabbath if you get it und write out ntVherk. Cer- tutiily. Uiat will lio rrtore tightly on your conscience than if you put it off until tomorrow, and forget it. Nor need you hesitate about any red tnpe You know .tho name of the institution you prefer, even if you don't happen lo know who is its treasurer. Fill in the name, nnd the money will pet lo the proper place, all right. A thousand things mny happen to make you forget It on Thanksgiving day. Do it now. HAS MADE NO ERROR. The election of Luther L. Gobhel formerly of the Dnlly News' reporto rial, and,now of its advertising, staff as Sunday school field secretary of the North Carolina (eastern) Methodist Episcopal conference, is an occurrence regarded in this office with mixed emotions. To tho best of our know ledge and belief, it is the first time that the Daily News office has ever been, raided by a church; and being left without a precedent, we are frankly confused as to what should be our attitude. It would be most unbecoming to object to the accept ance by a Daily News man of a pro posal of that sortj and yet we can. not honestly say that we like the proBpect of losing a good man, even to a church. This much, however, we can assert without any mental reservation The North Carolina conference has made no error in its choice. Mr. Gob be! is a man of enthusiasm, energy and ability. He has been deeply in terested in Sunday school work for years, therefore he will serve the con ference with that Joy in his work that is essential to the highest suc cess. He is conscientious to a fault, therefore he will serve it with un swerving loyalty. Our prediction is that he will make the conference the best field secretary for Sunday school work that it ever had. Certainly the best wishes of the Daily News will go with him in his new work. SUPPOSE Just suppose the general assem bly soon to meet in Raleigh should invite JoBiah William Bailey (It has invited William Jennings Brcnnings and others who can't speak so well) to address it, and should ask Mr. Bailey to step on the gas when he tells the true story of the North Carolina farmer. And suppose he should lay aside that abounding optimism which marks all his public utterances, and tell the naked, horrible truth. What then? Would there not bo a houseful of legislators who would rise to tell him that just a short while ago he was before them proving that the farmer pays no taxes and never did; that the farmer sells Bailey a ham of meat for more money than agricola suffers his whole hog to be appraised by tho ' local "setf -government tax lister; that through an indefensible favoritism in taxation the farmer's lands, mules, horses, cows, goats, sheep, and everything oppurtcnant to tho farm, were piling up wealth which should begin to bear the bur dens that Big Business long has car ried? , And would there not be more fel lows still who remember Mr. Bailey making whnt the international pro hibition commission called the great est speech it had heard in America, showing how city and rural real es tate had quadrupled and quintupled under prohibition, how federal in come taxes going through Mr. Bailey's hands had scorned to operate in thou sands, but had leaped into millions under prohibition, how North Caro lina, recently twenty-second in the states, had climbed to fourth and yielded products which made it so rich that the wealth of ancient em pires seemed but a beggar's patri mony by comparison? What would Mr. Bailey say? We know he would say something, but what would it be? And whatever it might be, would not the legislature feel moved to explain in the language of Tom Dunstan, Senegambian ton- sorialist of Chapel Hill, to Jones Fuller, of Durham: "As Euripides said unto St. Peter, Mr, Fuller," much running doth make thee "bull?" THE BATTLEGROUND ROAD. The federal government has built roads leading into many, perhaps most, of the places dedicated and set aside forever as Sacred to the memory of the country's soldiers who have fallen in its servico, such patriotic shrines as the scene ot the battle of Guilford Courthouse. That is the government's most recent acquisition of the kind, and it will be altogether fitting that tho dispositions taken for preservation and beautifying of the Battle Ground be completed by the construction of a splendid road be tween the park and Greensboro. Rep resentative Stedman, author of the measure whereby the field was taken over as a national park, will introduce a resolution to provido for building a suitable road, and will also .-see to it that his numerous friends among congressional leaders are thoroughly familiar with tho merits of the project. No doubt is. entertained that the resolution will be atlopted without undue- delay. Tho Greene highway, destined to become, already becoming, a great travel routo between the Virginia mountain gateway and tho south, via the I'inehurst region, will owe no in considerable part of its attraction to the fact that it passes the Battle Ground; much traffic of nn inter state character is already developed. Thus it is in every Tespeet a proper field for federal action. Guilford county has for many years maintain ed road to tho park of better quality than necessary to meet local traffl requirements, but now that the gov ernment has acquired the park the duty of providing a wider road, oT tho best qunlity, devolves upon it. The county furnishes a grade and location .needing little, if any, im provement, nnd considerable valuable foundation. And in'domandW the reneal of the bale tax in the warehouse act, both of which were passed at the In stance of the Farmers' union which employed Mnrion Butler to defend the law, the union, even as Mr. Dooley's Democratic party, showed that it was on bad terms with itself. COD'S DEEP WAYS. Thy Judgments are a great (leap, O Lord; Thou preserves! man. and beast. Psalms Bible readers must have observed often how the song writers of the Scripture levy on creation for a f ure expressive of God's way with the world. The mountains, the atmos phere, the stars, the heavens, the earth, and the sea are employed to show how God works In His large way with the world. . Here is set forth the. inexplicable dealing of Deity with man. The sea is the symbol of mystery. Nobody understands it, nobody can get a true picture of its life. It has been invested with such peculiar perils that even today when men cross it we are not always able to feel that It affords greater safety than almost any land travel of whatsoever character. The submarine during the war was dreaded as the deadliest of dangers, but at its worst the pirate undersea boat was not comparable to the sim plest land warfare in the actual cas ualties incident to the attack. Why does the Psalmist liken God's ways to the Great Deep? It is easy to understand. You are either riding on the sea or standing on land watch ing its perpetual movements. A sum mer storm may be throwing up its surface into white-capped waves; the long, slow billows may now be testi fying to a greater storm beneath your sight and beyond your hearing; per haps now there is a sea of glass; It may be that a great veil called a fog has been drawn between It nd the world. In either and all instances the sea's message is mystery. Nobody can tell what Is beneath its surface. It is a great continent on which grow forests without roots and flow ers of exquisite beauty which never suffer for shower; a continent no less than those on which we live and through which run rivers without shores, in which are seas which are never tossing in tumultuous confu sion,... Waste of waters we hear it called ! It is no waste; it is fuller of life than lnnd or air. The great beasts vastly larger than the land knows sport in its depth and turn its sur face into a miniature tempest, sharks, porpoises and manatees find it their cradle and winding sheet, and bil lions of crustaceans and snails, the minutest of living things dance in the waves on its surface. When sea tragedies occur we do speak of the cruel srJa, but not even in disasters is there irremediable trBgedy. The fog which hides the sea lanes from men and sends boats crashing to gether broods over the surface of the deep and sends refreshing rains from the clouds into which they have been converted. The very storms that ter rify the sailor are the winds that f ur row its surface and stir the atmos phere from its deadly stagnation into life which makes living possible. But the poet, the prophet, and eyen the philosopher can read this message of the sea, for it interprets the greater meaning of life, the great est of all the oceans. We see of this life the morest fragments; waxen look only on Its surface; we can com prehend only its most superficial, Its most patent and visible phenomena; we can get onjy .glimpses of Its deeper meaning, the little bays and inlets that lie along its shores, and our fragmentary judgments are all on those. And we think we know life ! How we mourn when some leader stricken in his prime Is taken fromthis little speck which we call the earth, and from this sphere which we call life! Do you not recall three years ago when Edward Kidder Graham died how the Sunday following men stood appalled, oppressed at the thought of a North Carolina without that incom parable young man? But who will now say that this statesman was not called to a higher service, who will say life was broken off In Its prime, that the ministry of this great spirit has not been multiplied a hundred fold? ' Near the same time a fine young North Carolinian, another splendid Ed, was killed while flying a government hydroplane. This young follow, Ed Pou, who had unk one Gorman pirate boat and perhaps another, and who had convoyed more than 5,000 ships of his country with out losing a man of them, this boy of 21 whose name adorns dojons of pages (ii the reports' from the other side, was killed at the very thresh old of what we call lifo. But who knows that? Who can say that life besan with him In the cradle or ended with him in the accident? Who will try to account for these celestial natures whose very expressions -nf life seemed too fine for 'the earth which they -inhabited,- whose thoughts with difficulty are contained in the vernacular of life about them? Who will sny the ministry of the university has been crippled even? The judg ments of God are a great deep. It is no impeachment of God's justice that one man goes throuch life smit ten with sorrow and with suffering his constant companion, while an other travels the road In purple and fine linen, with applouse and laugh ter and popularity his fellows. Hap piness is not the best, and sorrow is not the worst that befalls men. Character is the only thing worth living for, and character is immortal. And the tempest more often than sunshine develops that character. "Thy judgments are a great deep," too great for our little judgments. Science has a message to religion, GETTING READY TO REDECORATE THE FLAT however much men may think that science and religion have no fellow ship. The investigators and students of external phenomena have learned, at least, that the sea is no waste of waters and no cruel destroyer of life. It is the great home of life, the mother who broods over and keeps us all. Moral investigators and spir itual geniuses studying the deeper significance of human existence have learned that much which has seemed to us cruel is bravely kind, have learned that Love guides and governs all the strangely conflicting currents of life. : Heights Your thoughts go hy I.Ike shy, wild birds, Not caught within A net of words, -, , They dip and flash ('' And circle past.

Ia the World Itendyt ' la the world ready and eager for permanent peace? Have the represen tatives of the world powers who are now gathered In Washington com to that conference with a sincere and heartfelt desire to arrive at some com mon understanding whereby wars shall cease T or are they actuated by a pri mary purpose to reduce taxes? Will the people of the world be satisfied If their rspreaentutivea go back to them and report that they have succeeded' In cutting the expenses, but that they have failed to arrive at a basis on which peace can be guaranteed? These ftiiestlnina ejf nrtrftmniittt Imne-ttncs for the people of thlB country and of the world to be asking themselves and considering In these momentous times. Honorable Tasker Polk In his elo quent address to the American legion at the Queen Street Methodist church last Sunday expressed the opinion that the world was not ready for peace and that it would not come out of the pres ent conference. He took the view, as The Free Press understood him, that the Washington gathering wae a sort of "yocketbook" affair; that the im pelling motive of the meeting is to re duce taxes; and that consequently the hope for permanent world peace as an outcome of the conference was futile. In its Issue of November 10, The Free Press expressed the belief "that there was born with the armistice a sincere deslro for permanent peace. The people of the world regardless of race or country manifested no further passlonfor waiv-Jn fact., there was every evidence that the appetite of Ihe most barbaric for carnage had been satiated." It believes, too. as It ald then, that the desire for peace in the hearts of the majority of the people of the world is Just as pronounced today as tt was then. It is moved to think, as Dr. Spilman said In his splendid ad dress Sunday night on the "Call to the Anglo-Sanon," that nod has a part in tho meeting at Washington and that whether those who have como there are -fully conscious of the fact or not. Ho la directing tho moving spirits of thnt great conference and if the Chris tian people of tho world prayerfully support their representatives, the Greatest stride toward permanent peace in the world's history will be the out com e.
