T The Robesonian is carrying at the j head of its editorial column today the names of the Democratic nominees j for State,- sixth district congressional, ninth district judicial, and county offi ces. Intense interest in the European war and what it has done to the cotton market overshadows all 'els?, but interest in politics is reviving in Robeson and it is well enough to keep before one the Democratic nominees. iws ar.d elactions should be awarded il ! v(i Apr'tdcA tn sllnw mv nams t.i liv ftnet l.iws po that the will of t.h go, before the people as a candidate p onle would be expressed by the re for the S'.r.te Senate, from Robeson .' ,"sul ..;.; ; 'J.

Next Sunday, October 4, by procla mation of President Wilson, is to ha observed throughout' the Units J States as a day of prayer for peace. The fervent, effectual prayers of a nation that peace ' may . be restored throughout the world 1 may avail much. The Robesonian had said noth ing about jit, : waiting; for ' the , first mDve in the matter to be taken by thi'-Secs f tlift toWn. but it .ja' surprised that no move .has been made Tor a union meeting on Sunday for prayer. . No. doubt the day will bo observed, however, in all the churches as a day of prayer. : - : 0- We knew it was coming. A few are saying now surely there are not many of that misguided class a few are saying that the Democratic Ad ministration is responsible for the de- j morilization of the cotton, market. Can ; ft you beat that? Those who are talking such nonsense ought to be busy be ing thankful that this country j' owing to a wise administration of its af fairs during the past two years, has steered clear of war and that the cot ton situation is not worse than it is. A Republican Administration would not have been in shape to do as much as the present Administration has done. . IN A; CIRCLE. -yf the holding of conferences about cotton there seems to be jio end. Everv little while a bunch of Governors or some other sort of bunch gathers, in Washington or at some State capitol and uses up large bunches of time cusiir.g and discussing the present cotton situation, ut when the hot air artists have done their worst and the fumes have cleared away, it seems . , ' 'i ; i l iti&X no soiuuon nas Deen arnvea ui. "Evermore they come out at tho same door wherein they , went." i It is not the' fault of the Gover nors and Congressmen et al that thej don't find the answer; they are doing their possible, no doubt. They are not to be blamed; they just naturally don't know what to do but feel called upon to do something so they call or join a conference. That's ali right; maybe it does those who par ticipate good. At any xate it keeps fllAtVI VlllOIT Southern Governors and Congress men held another meeting in, Wasa ington this week with the usual result. No definite plan was decided on. It was the consensus of opinion that the cotton acreage should be reduced next year, but no Solomon arose to tell how. ; ' Meanwhile, the farmers are solving the question in a measure themselves by holding their cotton for not less than 10 cents. Maybe the farmers will go all, the way and cut down tha acreage next year, but that depends on the outlook about planting time.' The numerous conferences held and being held have proven one thing, and that is that it is up to the people of every community to help themselves.
