Looks aa if today will be a good day for it. There seems to be an abnormal nmount of uncaso among the Vien nese. Seema likely that it may prove to be a scorpion conference rone that carries its sting In its tall. Well, "5-6-8 or fight" is not quite as alliterative as "Bi-40," but no doubt it would do in a pinch. It ia pretty certain that there will be some scrapping as the result of the Washington conference, and the world will be lucky if it Is confined to the scrapping of warships. Landru, the French Bluebeard, conducted hla own defense. Landru is sentenced to die. Even in France, It appears, he who acts as his own lawyer has a fool for client The first budget In ita history will be presented to Congress next week, and it will carry three and three quarter billions. Well, you can't deny that it's making a manful start The registration books will be at the regularly appointed places to morrow. That is the day to put yourself in position to vote for the Guilford county tuberculosis sana torium. Sixty thousand dollars worth of gold has been taken by eight men from California mine and none of the eight were miners. The only implements they had were sawed-off shotguns. Up to the hour of going to press no reports have been received of excited mobs moving toward Sanford, .where, according to report, some 40 cases of real whisky have been seized and are held in jail. But the conference isn't a confer ence to assure Japanese national security, but a conference on the limitation of naval armaments. " That Is the point that Nippon forgeti, or chooses to ignore; nevertheless? it is the point that the whole thing turns on. Rioting has broken out in Vien ny perhaps the beginning of the end. Hell is about to pop in Ire land again, and France proposes a receivership for Germany. By the time we screw up our courage to the point of considering Mr. Hard ing's association of nations, there may not be may nations left to as- THE ONLY WAY. There are those who hold, and not without reason, that the elimination of tuberculosis is more an economic than a medical problem. They have argued that the most successful treat ment for incipient tuberculosis is ab solute rest, combined with carefully regulated diet consisting of foods of high nutritional value and little bulk milk, eggs, lean meat, and the like. They point out that in the total cost of treating a case of tuberculosis the doctor's bill is a comparatively small item, and the druggist's negligible. But many of the victims of the dis ease are unable to afford the absolute rest, not to mention the concentrated diet; therefore many people die of tuberculosis for no other reason than that they have not money enough to cure themselves. The best doctor in the world might give bis services free; but if the patient has not the means to carry out the treatment, the doctor's labor will be wasted. Hence, they claim, it is an economic problem. But it is not the business of the medical profession to handle our eco nomic problems. If they look after things medical, the doctors will have quite enough to do. Hence the help. lessncss of the profession to combat tuberculosis successfully unless it has the assistance of the community at large. The profession may be trust ed to take care of the medical end of It, without asking anybody for help. Where the failure lies is in the other end, that the doctors cannot look af ter, the economic end; yet failure there will kill the patient just as dead as if the doctor had poisoned him. No wonder that medical men are disposed to look gloomily on this situation. When they work their hardest, when they exhaust their skill, and still see their patients dying for lack of things that the science of medicine can name, easily enough, but cannot supply, why, it's enough to give them a hopeless feeling. But Guilford county pitizens are to be given an opportunity within the next three weeks to come to the aid of the doctors, and to make it im possible for anyone to say hereafter that any human being in Guilford must be condemned to death simply because he has no money. Moreover, we are to have the opportunity to save a class of people infinitely more valuable to the community than pau pers, namely, the enormous number of victims of tuberculosis who have nearly, not quite, enough money lor their own cure. The Guilford county tuberculosis sanitorium, because it will be well equipped and run on a large scale, will be able to offer ade quate treatment at a price much smaller than is possible to any pri vate hospital. Therefore, at it man who is poor, but by no means a pau per, will be enabled to pay for his own treatment. This is the only way in which we, as a community, can hope to attack this problem with any reasonable prospect of success. Other diseases may be left to the doctors! but against this one the laity must work with the profession, for neither can combat it alone. Have you registered for this elec tion T Well, the books will be closed December 10. If you intend to do your part toward ridding Guilford of the White Plague your first move must be to have your name inscribed on the registration books; for unless and until you do that, you are abso lutely out of it A YEAR'S WHIRLWIND FINISH IN ROAD AUTHORIZATION. Could the work of the highway com mission be speeded up? was the query propounded in these columns several weeks ago. It could be; it was being at the time, although no announce ment had been made that the machin ery of the office was capable of pension to do an amount of work far beyond what had been contemplated. Commissioner Page spoke last winter with a good deal of definiteness as to what could be done, in year. When he spoke in terms of millions of dol lars, that meant an approximate number of miles of class A road; a million dollars now builds many more miles, and so the expenditure is pro ducing more road than it was then expected to do. But the rate of ex penditure has been increased. This has. been a year of organiza tion. As things turned out, good men have been available for the field work, the drafting room and the executive department, and a thoroughly effici ent organization has been built up more rapidly, perhaps, than Mr. Pago folt warranted in anticipating. Circumstances in general have favor ed progress; a swarm of contractors, reduced labor costs and reduced ma terial costs. But the rapid creation of an organization capable of ex panding its activities to meet the con ditions that have developed reflects more than anything else the adminis trative talent of the highway com missioner. His associates have co operated heartily and harmoniously. And there never was a more loyal or ganization anywhere. Of late weeks the engineering and drafting forces have met demands almost to perform miracles. Since October 27 there have been let con' tracts for the construction of 220 miles of road at a total cost of more than $4,400,000. Before the end of the year there will be lettings of about 100 miles more, at a cost of something ' like a million and a half dollars. The commission has yielded to the demand and has crowded every possible yard into these lettings en the theory that when ether states get into the procession, next spring, costs will increase; and the idea is to nail down everything that can be nailed down on the present basis of costs. Since Mr. Page was made commis sioner, in 1919, the investment of the state of North Carolina in road work has been $20,911,000; 1,336 miles of road have been built, or are under construction, or are under contract; plus many bridges, small and great The bridges represent about a million dollars. Of recent lettings, 130 miles are to be hard surface and 90 mileB gravel. Contracts were made Wed nesday for more hard surface road than the state had when Page went into the office. The Central highway got five jobs Wednesday; in addition to those in Guilford and adjoining counties, 11 miles hard surface, Newton to Burke county line, and grading and bridges between Hillsboro and Mebane. This is the section that evoked the spirit of Herman Husbands along the Eno and started the Orangemen on the warpath. The announcement that the com. mission has bought 60,000 barrels of cement ends several weeks of trading between Mr. Page and the Cement association. Contracting for this quantity, the commission gets a cash price lower than the market, paying for it, we suppose, as delivered. It has been understood that, the state will sell to contractors at a profit. Some of them have complained that they will have to pay more for cement than they would in the market, which if true means aimply that they would have to make allowance in their bids. That is as broad as it is long. The two main considerations are that the road program cannot be interfered with for a long time by irregularities of cement supply and price; and that the state gets, in one way or anoth er, the benefit of present market val ues, in the expected event that mater ials advance in the spring. The speeding up of the engineer work and the turning of this work over to contractors necessitates a similar increase in the supervisory work. It is apparently the purpose of the commission to slow up on new work next year; that is implied in the tremendous effort that has been made to get work contracted at pres ent price levels. In that event, sur veyors and draftsmen will be avail able for transfer to supervision, in side the present organization. Latterly the friends of concrete construction which is to say, mainly, those who are interested in the sale of cement have not been getting much comfort in North Carolina. There is an impression that concrete has no friends among the district commissioners; Mr. Cox is the only one, that we can think of, who now has concrete Job in his district There have been no concrete failures In state work in this vicinity. Ral eigh and Wake have some, Alamance has some, and it all seems to be good enough road. The alert young men of the Cement association have lat terly been emphasizing the undoubt ed fact that concrete is relatively non skid surface, as compared to asphalt; but for some reason, asphaltic finish 1 the fashion. THE WOMAN AT THE ELECTRO CUTION. .There is no reason that can be logically defended why a woman, as a citizen of the commonwealth, should not look on, if she wishes, as the commonwealth inflicts the extreme penalty on a criminal. All the same, we are satisfied to have the reports from Raleigh telling of the presence of a woman at the latest execution at the state prison declare that she was not North Carolinian, but a stranger who happened to be passing through the state capital. She had as much legal right to be there as any man. The warden was quite cor rect in refusing to question it. No body would have been Justified in objecting to her presence on legal grounds. Nevertheless, so deeply ingrained is our prejudice, we are convinced that most men will be glad that they do not number that woman among their personal acquaintances. To the average person of normal mentality there is something revolting in the very idea of a woman in such a place. It is bad enough for men to look on while society originally organized for conservation, reverses its func tion and proceeds to extinguish a human life. But for a woman, who is charged with the highest function in the continuation of the race, the production of new life, to be a con senting witness of its extinction is peculiarly dreadful. It is more than a perversion, it is an absolute reversion of one of the deepest and most powerful instincts of woman kind. And a persor r.hose instincts are reversed is not r - Tortable sort of person to have around. The emancipation of woman from man-made restrictions has already gone far, and is proceeding with in creasing speed ; and that, it seems to us, is to be rejoiced in, rather than deplored. But she labors under some restrictions that are not man-made and from which man cannot emanci pate her. After all, the Nineteenth amendment did not convert woman into a physically slighter man. It did not alter her position in the world as the producer and conserva tor of life ; and the woman whose acts are inconsistent with that position collides with something (Tester than the statutes. She doesn't emancipate Herself she unsexes herself, and be comes not a free agent, but a mon strosity. THE TWELVE AND THE TWELVE MILLION. A rally of radicals was held in New York the other night, the object be ing to add to radical indignation over the cases of Sacco and Vartzetti, when one Italian made a speech, of a para graph of which the following is translation : Twelve American cltlsana found Sacco and Vanietti guilty of murder in tne nrst degree; 12,000,000 organ- kvcA act n Invl.n C-a Kpaln Switzerland, Sweden, Argentina, Brazil and Japan, the flower of man hood on this earth, have proclaimed them Innocent In mighty demonstra tions of protest before the levelled guns of International reaction. Who are right, the 12 or the 12.000.000? Sacco and Vanzettt are two humble workers, who have been standing watch at the extreme outposts of the battleground of American labor among the Immi grants and 'the unskilled. With the help and support ot American, labor they shall not die! The 12 are sometimes "wrong" in the sense that they err. in deciding the guilt or innocence of a defendant charged with acts that constitute a violation of law, and for which a penalty is prescribed; it is conceiv able that the 12 million might dis cover the facts when the 12 had fail ed to do so. The 12 are charged by law with responsibility of determining the truth, and the 12 million are not. They have no responsibility what ever, and do not subscribe to the law. They despise the court as a capital istic instrument They claim a moral superiority for themselves severally and in mass, over the court and jury, and consider themselves in possession of intellectual freedom which the court and Jury do not own. They have not the opportunity to confront the defendants, and witnesses, and ob serve the demeanor of each. The 12 million are partisans, to a man. The jurors nave been under the necessity of studying all the evidence, nnder the most favorable circumstances; few of the 12 million have studied even a transcript of it. It is possible, although improbable, that the truth as to this case may never be established, absolutely. It certainly will never be -so established in the mind of the average man, be cause the average man will not read the evidence and think out the case for himself. But in certain and very import ant sense the verdict of the Jury is "right" and that of the 12 million is "wrong." For the method we have in this country of trying those ac cused of crime is by a jury of 12 citi zens, and not by 12 million, or any number, of foreigners. So far, the radicals have not offered anything in lieu of trial by jury that is at all ac ceptable. It is far from perfect; it is the best that has been devised, so far. In times of uncertainty, stir and flux, like these, what looks large may turn out to be inconsequential, and that which appears small may pres ently begin to fill the landscape. Mr. Briand seemed to be attempting little pleasantry the other day. "The British," said he, in different words, "are making a pother about the idea of France wanting some submarines. They must have a navy themselves; yet they are in alliance with one of the biggest navy powers and close friends with the other. Do they want these warships to fish for sardines with? Well why not submarines for France to study the flora of the ocean- bed with?" That bit of sardine jest has, Judging by remarks that are be ing passed, peeved the English from John O'Groat's to Land's End. "What does this Frog mean," say they, "does he dare to make a Joke of the British navy?" If so, they will give him to understand that the British navy is not to be made a joke of; far from it A reader calls attention to the facta that in a Charlotte dispatch to this newspaper it was stated that the burned Chambersburg building at Davidson college was valued at $250,000 and there was $100,000 in surance, whereas in editorial com ment it was stated that the loss was fully covered by insurance. This statement was made on information supposed to be reliable; however, the Charlote correspondent was charged with the duty of finding the facts, and doubtless had them correct PUBLIC PULSE A DAT WITH A THOUSAND GIRLS." Editor of The Dally News: Did you ever spend the day with a thousand glrlsf I did. Thanksgiving day I visited my daughter at the North Carolina College In Greensboro.

Editor of The Dally News: In your Issue of November 11 an aooount la given of a sermon delivered by Dr. Turner at the First Baptist ohurch In your olty on Sunday, Novem ber 20. It la stated that his theme was The Charter of the Church," and the text used was Matthew 18:11-20. Wt are told that he urged his hearers t read and familiarise themaalves with this scripture, whloh is the language of the Savior Himself. The language reads as follows: "All power Is given unto me In heaven and In earth. Go ye, therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them In the name of the Father and of the Son and ot the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you, and lo I am with you always, ven unto the end ot the world." It was splendid ot the Doctor to en courage his audience to read often and familiarize themselves with thif most wonderful passage, and especial ly so, alnce it fell from the Hps of Him Into whose hands had been given air'' authority or "power." But after this splendid admonition from Dr. Tur ner he makes a very strange state ment which seems Inconsistent, not only from the standpoint of the Sa vior's language, but from the stand point of his own admonition. After most beautifully picturing this language used by the Savior, as be ing the more Important, because it oame from one of unquestioned author ity, ha proceeds to tell his hearers that. In regard to the baptism part of the text, "It Is well to keep In mind what Christ meant when lie spoke thesi words." Why not Just accept what Christ said as being what He meant? It the Savior on this or any other occasion did not mean what He said, how are we to find out what He did mean? In other words, who gave Dr. Turner or anyone else authority to say what the Savior meant, It He did not mean what He said? The Doctor further says "The real thing Is the surrender of one's self to Christ." Exactly so, and It should be a sufficient surrender to be willing to accept what Christ " says at face value and obey it, and baptism Is one of the commands to be obeyed, In or der to obtain salvation, or "remission of sins," see Luke 4:4( and 47. The reader will find this passage most wonderfully demonstrated under the preaching of the Apostle Peter In the city of Jerusalem, as recorded In Acts of the Apostles l:S? and S8. See also Mark 16:16; Gal. 8;J7; First Peter l:il John 1:6. Dr. Turner says: "There are those who claim that Baptists hold that peo ple cannot be saved without being baptized," but he asserts: "This Is not true. Baptists never held that." Now, so far as I can see, it matters little what Baptists "hold" or what anyone else "holds," but It does mat ter very materially what the Savior says. The Doctor says: "Ths first command Is to make disciples," and "The third command Is to teach." Why attempt to make a distinction? Both state ments are really synonymous, alnce we oannot make dlsolplse without teaching. The word Itself means a Out In What Condition He Goes Home . -r , ANOTHEK UTTtl I jNevNoT co learner or one having been taught Then, too, It he will review his text, he will find that teaching Is specified In both first and third command. The text Is plain. It should be ao cepted Just as It reads. The apostles were plainly told to go and teach the nations, baptising them In (revised version "into") the Bam of the Fath- eta When one Is baptised he Is "raised," to "walk In newness of life," Rom. i:4. No man Is promised salvation out of Christ, and in baptism we "put on Christ," Gal. :27. Can Dr. Turner tell us any other way to get Into Christ?) Or ean he point to a single passage spoken by Christ or his apostles, since th great commission recorded In his text was Issued, where an alien sinner Is promised salvation without bap tism? . If he can, perhaps It Is sat for Baptist to "hold" that people can be saved without baptism, but If he can not, they had better not "hold" longer to such a theory. See 2nd The. 1:1, Dr. Turner conoludes with th Illus tration of how people from other countries become citizens of th Unit ed States. It Is Indeed an apt Illustra tion when carried to Its logical con clusion. He says: "If we did not teach the principles of citizenship to those who are born Into this country,' they would mak poor citizens." Indeted, and If we did not Drat teach them what to do In order to be "born" Into the citizenship of the United States, they would never become such. We have certain prescribed acta to be performed by a foreigner before he can Jjeoom a oltlzen of our king dom, and I doubt If Dr. Turner would be willing for him to leave oft a single one of them. Just so It I with the man who Is out of Christ, he Is re quired by the Lord Himself to obey certain commands before h can enter Into His kingdom, and being baptised (or "born of water," John 6:6) la one of them. The reader will bear In mind I am not the author of these statements. They oame from th Savior Himself and are eohoed time and time again by His chosen apostles, who are the writers of the New Testament. It Is not only strange, but sad, that men of th ability of Dr. Turner will attempt to discuss a plain command of the Savior Himself. I am unable to say why the Lord required baptism Instead of something els to be per formed by th sinner. In order to remission ot sins, but that I no busi ness of ours. By faith we should obey and trust the Lord to fulfill His promises. See Heb. 10:22-23. The Lord required a certain offering from Cain and Abel, and He kept His premise to the one who obeyed. A promise was Riven that the walls of Jericho would tall, but they did not fall until certain specific acts of obedience were per formed. Why do people quibble over simple acta of obedience today, or permit any man or set of men to stand In thei' presence and attempt to discount God's commands? See Heb. 2:1-8. Let every reader of this examine each passage cited above and may Ood hasten the day when preachers and others will be willing to accept lust what Is written, neither adding to nor taking from. JNO.
