A Good Riddance. " President Wilson did the right thing in getting: rid of both Gen. Goelhals and Chairman Denman whose bickerings about the man agement of the shipbuilding pro gramme had become a public nu isance. Evidently both were to blame in some -measure for the quarrel and the delay in the most important work, and it was ap parent, as the President decided, that the trouble could not be eli minated so long as either of them remained on the job Gen Goethals has bulked large in the puclic eye as the builder of the Panama Canal. He maj not deserve all the credit that is given him for that job, but some men who make. a success in one instance fail in another. Soon after Gen. Gcethals' appointment as manager of the shipbuilding programme he was wined and dined by members of the steel, corporation, and this was follow ed by his announcement that no wooden ships would be built, but all would be constructed of steel Then followed the disclosure bv Chairman Denman that Goethals had agreed to pay a price for steel nearly double that paid by the navy. This revelation caused a good manny people to question Goethals' capacity as a business man and his disregard of the proprieties was evident. Then, too, he appeared to think he should have a free hand and go ahead without consulting the shipping board Chairman Den man naturally resented this and it was impossible for the work to go on with both- men on" tie job. Statesville Landmark RUH, ROMANISM AND REBELLION Cardinal Opposes Prohibition, Centers Wftir Hoover, Mm the Support of Romanists The Menace. The Washington D C Times, for Tuesday, June 26th, con tained an article three columns wide aud 19 inches long, set in large type; extremely large in fact, in which Cardinal GibboniJ is quoted as follows: I do not believe in national pro hibition of light wines and beer. and am of the opinion that such a law could not be enforced. I am opposed, the Cardinal, continued, to any state wide or nation-wide prohibition measure. A law of this kind interferes with the personal liberty and rights of the people and creates hypocrisy on the part of the pub he. If the people of any particular country district find conditions such that to have local option would mean the betterment of the community, then thej should close the saloons in that district. But when it comes to having prohibition in large cities it is a bad thing. Pro hibition in any of the large cities is practicalfy impossible for en forcement however far-reaching the attempts are to carry out the law, notwithstanding reports that the law has been carried out successfully in certain loca tions. The uninitiated might believe that this big three column display of the cardinal's mouthings is a fete of journalism due to the ed -itor's fits brought on by brood- THE BILL IN CONFERENCE. Women Give Out, Housework is hard enough when healthy. Every Salisbury a oman who is having backache, blue and nervous spells, dizzy headaches and kidney or bladder troubles, be glad to heed this Salisbury woman's experience, Mrs M A Winecoff, 331 E Kerr St, says: "My back ached so much I could hardly drag myself around and mornings I could hardly get out of bed. My kid neys were in bad shape. My nerves were all unstrung and I suffered from headaches-and of ten telt as tnough I would lose my reason. I tried many medi cines but nothing seemed to do me any good until I got Doan's Kidney Pills at the People's Drug Co. and took them. They relieved me from the first and I continued taking them until my back didn't ache and my kid neys caused me no trouble." m Price 60c at all dealers.

There are a great many people wno would be very much bene fited by taking Chamberlain's Tablets tor a weak disordered stomach. Are you one of them? Mrs M R Searl, Baldwinsville, N Y, relates her experience in the use, of these tablets: I had a bad spell with my stomach about six months a&ro. and was troubled for two or three weeks with gas and severe pains in the puof my stomach. Our druggist advised me to take Chamberlain's Tablets. I took a bottle home and the first dose relieved me . wonderfully, and I kept on taking them until I was cured." These tablets do not releive pain but after the pain has been re ceived may preyent its recurrence. Weather Forecast for August, 1917. From 3 to 9, fair, clear, rain southwest, pending dry east.

Hbnry Reid., R 3, Box 167, Salisbury, N C. ing over the "miseries of a dry nation as a result of war legis lation; "but, this same article treated in the same way, appear ed in the Washington Post and it also appeared in the Evening Sun of Baltimore and it is hardly likely that these three editors suffered convulsions such as to result in excatly the same kind of publicity being given this matter. The article referred to bears all the gear marks of either an advertisement or an article given special prominence through fear of a loss of patronage. The ob ject of the editor in printing this statement, however, is of secondary moment. The one vital fact is that Cardinal Gibbons is a friend to rum. We have often heard the ex pression ''Rome, rum and ruin." We have Rome and rum in the article referred to and if the cardinal and the liquor interests arc allowed to run the country and divert the nation's food sup ply into liquor channels when three fourths of the world is at war and crying for food, we may have and opportunity to deserve fuin. The cardinal, it . would seem is determined to impress upon the public arid the goverment his ability to handle the Catholic church throughout the country and to line them up for whole sale patriotism on the one hand while pledging them as the op ponents to legislation which many staunch patriots believe is necessary to the welfare of the country; namely, legislation that will prevent food stuff be ing consumed in the manufac ture of liquors. We find in these same articles this further remark as to the cardinal: The cardinal has just conclud ed a long conference with Her bert C Hoover on the food situa tion and had promised the gov ernment's food administrator his hearty co-operation personally and through the Catholic church es of the country. Principal Differences About the Food Measure iiay pass this week. The food control bill was sent to conference of the House Wed nesday with blanket amendments. The conferees held their meeting yesterday but it probably will be at least a week before it is ready. Blocked in sending the measure to conference Tuesday by the ef fort of Republican Leader Mann ioft a separate vote on the amend ment creating a congressional war expenditures committee, the Democrats brought in a special rule to force action. Thirty-one Republicans joined in supporting B'niOtlOn Shutting off dphnt and j O Mr ann's opposition collasped.
