' Agreement on the platform ms sf
facted In the Republican conrifctlon
Thursday night without any of the
fireworks which had been predicted
and anticipated. The pyrotechnic* oc
curred In the cocnmlttss which frsmsd
ths platform and did not reach the
pnbUc nor ths great body of delegetes
exeeptlng through the press. The
Lssgus of Nations plank was ths (rest
exciting cause sad the dUßculty wss
to so frame it as to save the facss of
the Republican senators who had taken
such varying attitudes on ths question
ever sines President Wilson brought
ths peace tresty end ths lssgne cove
nant back from Europe. The result
wss accomplished In a Tory adroit
compromise which "sbusss the sdmln
istratlon as tin-American in Its stub
born Insistence upon the league as
frsmsd In Europe, pats on ths back sll
slsments whether reeervetlonlsts, mild
reeervatlonlsts or lrrsconcilsbles in
the senate' majority who appassd ths
Wilson lssgne; pledges ths party to a
continuation of ths policies of Wash

sa lntsrnatlonsl associstlon which
shall provide Interns tlonsl courts, de
velop intornstlonsl law and secure in-
Stent snd general Internatloaal confer
once whenever peace shall be threat
ened.
To many this must look like (a la
dorssment at ths principle of s Lssgne
sf Nstlons si though nothing Is said
about mandates nor the duty at Amer
ica to take pert In foreign esnhroil
msnts. On the other hsnd ths plsnk
spsciflcslly states that ths United
States shan havs ths right to deter
atiae in sdvsaes what Is Just snd fslr
without becoming Involved es partlci
paat or peacemaker la foreign quar

the esttsts dsbstss snd It slwsys
caussd division la ths Rspubllcsn ms-
Jerlty, but st ths convsntlon It sssmed
to sstlsfy sll psrtlss. Johnson claims

Woman will from now on have u
equal voice with men In planning and
managing Republican campaign*. This
Is. assured through the adoption by
the convention of the report of the
committee on rule*, the chief recom
mendation of which waa that the
executive committee (hall have a mem
bership of fifteen instead of ten as
heretofore. The makeup of the com
mittee will be seven men, seven wom
en and the chairman. In addition the
committee will have • woman vice
chairman, ranking next in dignity to
the chairman. There will also be an
assistant secretary who will be a
woman. The women of the majority
tot everything they asked for from the
convention notwithstanding the fact
that a strong delegation of their sex
who are opposed to suffrage was on
hand. These latter were disappointed.
The Supreme court's decision up
holding the prohibition amendment
and the Volstead act came at an op
portune time to relieve the platform
framers of embarrasament on the
question. The hopes of anti-prohibi
tlonlsts which went from wet to moist
are now scarcely humid. Their only
recourse la In the election of a con
gress which will repeal or amend the
Volstead law.
Gov. Edward L Edwards of New
Jersey, who Is making the race for the
Democratic presidential nomination
largely on the queatlon of personal lib
erty, advocates a nation-wide refer
endum on the question of prohibition.
He believes that the sentiment of the
people so expressed, will force an
amendment to the law. His conten
tion 4a that the act goes too far in
attempting to regulate the habits of
.millions of dtisens; that It places In
the lawbreaking and criminal claca
millions of women all over the coun
try who make light wines from home
grown fruits tor domestic use and
.millions of farmers who make and ma
ture dder from their own orchards;
that by the prohibition of beverages
of light alcoholic content, it has In
creased the Illicit distillation of harm
ful liquors to twentyfold their former
that many of the agenta
of enforcement, both atate and fed
eral, have become either blackmailer*
of the lawbreakers or partners In
crime; that it la the main Impelling
cause why t,000,000 men of foreign
birth, have returned to their native
lands snd that It menaces the whole
Industrlsl fabric, and millions of work
era are Hied with resentment on ae
count of the Invasion of their personal
liberties.
The New Jersey executive attacks
the law on several other counts and
one easily discerns that the question
la going to cut a much larger figure
at San Frandaco than it has nt Chi
cago. In the Republican convention
the only entry slmllsr to Governor Kd
wards was Senator Prance of Mary
land. and he never had a chance, for
at MO time was there any prospect of a
wet track.
German elections which were relied
upon to clarify the political atmos
phere and settle the Immediate course
of government la that country, appar
ently have failed of effect The re
sult wens to be of the nature of a
stalemate, and while President Kbert
appears to have palled through by a
small majority the coalition govern
ment which he heads Is so beset by
the right and Ml oppoeltlon that par
liamentary chaoe Is almost Inevitable.
Short and the forces nearest to him
are asederate socialist a. The opposi
tion of the right contains, under vari
ona party namee and ahadea of polit
ical belief, the democrats, reaction
aries, limited monarchists snd uphold
ers of the old regime. The left con
tains the Independent socialists snd
all the more radical representstion.
The government, endeavoring to steer
t middle course snif yet an ultra-llb
•ral one for (lemniiiy between (hoe*
irreconcilable elemeata, will be in a
dUkilt position.
Indications are that the coalition
will be obliged to continue at the helin
In eider to make sn appearance of
stable government before the sillcM
pnnsia which will meet at the Hna
conference {o settle the amount bt
Oarman reparations and other impor
tant qoeetlons. After that confer
ence now elections appear to be a
noeeaetty to remove the ambiguous
complexion of Otrnto affair*. On#
seemingly bright ray from the recent
elections was the small vote polled
by the party of the esUsms left—the
—tit* I**' 1 **' or Germsn bolshevlsts as
they properly may be termed. This
happy reeult, however, was somswhat
vitiated by the extremely heavy vote
polled by the Independent socialists
who undoubtedly number in their
ranks away extreme radii cats.
The Spa conference at the Insist
ence ad Germans and IteUana and In
GBAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY. JUNE 17. 1920
| the hope that the Unlteil Slates will
Bend a representative, has been post
poned until July 5. One of Germany's
big protests at the conference, aside
from the reparations bill, wHt he
against reimbursing the allied nation*
for the expenses of the armies of oc
cupation and of the several control
commissions. These expenses are said
to amount to upward of 100,000,000
marks or normally about $2.1,000,000 a
day. 11 the conferees can lie con
vinced that German resources will
stand this big suin in addition to the
hugfe reparations, the money will be
very acceptable In lightening the mili
tary budgets of England, France, and
even the United States, unless our ul
trulsm prevents tlie acceptance of a
portion of It.
In spite of the uncertain political
situation -In Germany, the problems
, with which the Spa conference will
I wrestle, the state of affairs in Russia
and in tbe near and far East, n not*
of distinct optimism comes from Eng
land and from sources close to Prime
Minister Lloyd George. The word Is
that the whole world Is settling down
and that nations gradually are return
ing to sanity. Irelaud is saiiHtO show
definite signs of returning to peace on
a basis of permanent connection with
the British empire; Egypt Is ready to
| abandon Its claim to complete Inde
pendence and to accept a progressive
constitution; pan-Moslem agitation In
India Is said to be dying down and
the Turkish situation Is clenrlng. In
this optimistic condition of mind It Is
Impossible to say to what extent the
wish fathers the thought. But If Eng
lish problems really are clearing It
argues well for Improved conditions
all around. That the principal coun
tries of Europe are achieving s better
basis, materially, at least, Is evident
hi Increased production, more ship
ments to the United States and a
slight amelioration of exchange condi
tions. Past history has shown Franca
and England at least, to be wonder
ful in the come-back sense.
Reports of operations on the long
battle line of the Poles and Russian
bolsbevlkl extending from a point
north of Dvlnsk on the Latvian fron
tier to the Dniester river and the Rou
manian border, show a series of at
tacks and counters with the net result
somewhat In favor of the Poles. Their
campaign Is strengthened by tbe fnct
that they are more than holding their
own. Moscow admits an additional
reverse suffered by the bolsbevlkl near
Perekop at the neck of the Crimean
peninsula, but claims to have recov
ered some of the lost ground.
Turkish nationalist forces defeated
government troops and advanced to
within five and n half mill's of Isinld,
which caused the British to close the
Gulf of Ismld which controls the ap
proach to Constantinople of all cruft
from the Black sea. American wom
en relief workers who recently evac
uated the Caucasus to escape being
caught In the red drive are returning
to Batoum. Hopes are entertained for
the resumption on u limited scale of
relief work In Armenia, which oo»try
Is reported to lie combating the Inter
ior bolshevik movement. Fighting
against the French In Hilda has
stopped In accordauee with an armis
tice pact. The French troops evacu
ated Thrace where the nationalists,
the Turkish government and tbe Bul
garians are uniting to oppose Greek
occupation.
Higher TStephana Ratal
The Piedmont Telephone Company,
of Oaatoala has petitioned the Corpo
ration Commission for permission to
laoreaae Its telephone rates in Oxa
losis and other towns la Oaston coun
ty. The petition was resisted by the
municipal authorities of Gnstonls and
tbe hearing adjourned until May M to
give the opponents time to prepare a
brief to Ike case Tbe company de
sires te Increase from II to 14 for
oomauratal telephones and 60 cents
par men lb for residence service.
Tbe overall craze that Is sweeping
over the United Stales, though It can
hare little direct economic vslue, Is an
Interesting expression of popular an
ger against (he clothing profiteers. In
Isolated cases It already has caused
some reduction of prices, but In gen
eral tt most be regarded ss s worthy
demonstration that Is likely to he
taken up by faddists snd distorted out
of all reason.
We are still wsltlng to be told, an*,
thentlcally, hew the coal of living can
be Jowered. The experts have been
saying that Increased production Is
tbe solution of the matter, bat when
one reads thst American fprodvrttoo
Is now on a basis of 40 per cent abova
domestic needs, and then looks at the
prices demanded for all the necea
sitlea of life, one doesn't know what
te think.
