three of its candidates for the Supreme
court bench seem to have lost.

tricts out of 948 in the first Judicial dis
trict, which includes the boroughs of !
Manhattan and the Bronx, Justice Jos-'

Richmond, with 204 districts lacking
out 954, A. L. Squires. Republican, had
124,564, and George J. S. Dowling,
Democrat, 110,321.
The indications were that Robert L.

? office for which the entire city voted,
a t:-been defeated by Representative
i . II. La Guardia. his Republican op

from 15,000 to 20,000. Huynes Carter,
personal manager for Governor Black,
? in a statement conceded Black's de
feat by from 8,000 to 10,000.
Unofficial returns from eastern Ken
'tucky, where it was expected that the
Democratic nominee would cut nor
mal Republican majorities showed
Morrow holding his own and in some
cases exceeding figures in the guber

with two-thirds of the returns counted. '
The "law and order" slogan of Gov

The Lust Call.
The people of the United States have |
responded generously to many calls on
behalf of the American soldiers. They
have contributed to his comfort and
his recreation from the time he enter
ed a training camp to the time he re
turned to his home; they have helped
to keep him warm, to provide him with
delicacies and. in innumerable instan
ces, to save his life.
Now they afe being asked to respond
to one more call, to "see him clean
through." A large part of the $15,
000.000 fund being asked for by the
Red Cross in connection with the Third
Roll Call will be used for the comple
tion of its service to the sick and woun
ded men in our military hospitals and
to their families at home. The rest
of it will be used to send medical mis
sions to various countries of the near
east wkero appalling conditions pre
vail.
I3ut this is probably the last time the
American Red Cross will ask for any
thing for America's fighting men. Its
luture calls will be in the nature of
membership campaigns which will
serve to carry on the permanent work
of the organization in the field of pub
lic health, social service and disaster
relief," ami. unless some future war
makes a change of policy necessary,
this Is the last call the Red Cross will
make on the people for funds for war
work.
In oth.er words, this is the laRt chance
thv? American people will Iravo to ad
minister to the comfort of the men
who were wounded at Chateau Thierry
and in the Argonne Forest; the last
chanre to make life in the hospitals
hearahle for them and to set -their
minds at rest about the welfare of
their families at home.
It is a call to which no real Ameri
can will turn a deaf ear; a chance
which nil real Americans will wel
come gladly.

plete SUCCCSS.
The cotton campaign is supposed to
be worked as intensely as were the
Red Cross. Liberty Loan and other war
campaigns?the opportunity of joining
should be extended to every farmer
and every business man in the-(?ountv.
If additional literature or information
about the aims and purposes of the
Cotton Association are needed these
will be supplied upon application to
state headquarters at Raleigh. Be
ginning immediately, nowever, and
running through the end of the can>
paign, headquarters will send circu

organization in the state In order to
keep these men and women posted on
the developments and to impart such
other information as will be necessary
for 'the complete success of the cam
paign.
The canvassers are asked to talk cot
ton warehouses to the farmers and oth
ers who will be seen during the cam
paign, for one of the first works of
county and #township organizations
should be the perfection of plans for
the erection of a community owned
cotton warehouse in whi^h the cotton
could be stored and protected from fhe
weather, and held provided the price
offered at ginning time was not suffic
ient to warrant selling. Some of
the cotton will have to be held anyway,
for it should be marketed over a per
iod of twelve months, rather than in a
few months. The cotton warehouse
will be the salvation or ttie cotton south
and these warehouses will have to he
erected through the efforts of the coun

it saves money for you and
it reduces the price to the

profiteering. It insures
honest profits and makes
them permanent.
"The message of the U.

merchants and manufactur

American business men is
to advertise. 4
"Tell the public about
your goods. The consum
er has plenty of money. He
is willing to spend It and
we want him to spend it on
American made products.
The easiest, quickest and
most economical way in
which this can be accom

The Red Cross,
"Por the purpose of translating the
Red Cross vision into reality, people
are more-tiecessary than money, and
the Red Cross during the war revealed
an unexampled capacity tor drawing
people into combined service. The
people responded because they were
patriotic. The present summons to
membership is still a call to patriot
Ism, enlightened patriotism. It is an
imperfect patriotism which remains
lethargic until the bugle blows for
war. He who intelligently loves his
country in war wUl persistently love it
is worth dying

l -The master problem of civilization
Is to engage as many people \*ith as

Flirtiny With Death.
i One of the most pathetic poisoning
j eases in?1 the history of this country has
: jusi I" on brought to~a~happy close "by
| the recovery of the innocent victims.
A Detroit mother, in a moment of
insanity or otherwise, administered
deadly merctfry to her two Jlttle (laugh
iters with the intention of ending their
existence.
[physician?and are now callling for
the.mother who is behind iron bars
I The lessoui Is one which should be
taken into every home.
There is entirely too much freedom
in the manner in which people are per
mitted to purchase drugs of a poison
ous nature.
In a majority of homes you can find
these poisons standing on pantry shel
ves. in bath rooms, or in other places.
Invariably they are wtthin the roach
of children who know not that death
lftrks in those innocent looking bottles.
It is the acme of carelessness, and
comes dangerously near to criminali
ty.
Death dealing drugs should not be
{purchased at will. They should bo
j accessible only through the medium
of a practicing physician, and then
[should be kept under lock-and key.
The person who employs these drugs
with criminal intern should meet with
swift and drastic punishment com
mensurate with the crime, and no maud
lin sentiment should be permitted to
interfere.
Flirting with death has become en
tirely too freQuent in this country.
It Is time for the punishment to fit the
crime.
