THE RESCUE OF COTTON
Tells What The Administration

THE PRESIDENT AND THE MAN
The Greaterst American of Modern Time.
Whatever fate may hold in
: store for Wilson, president of
the United States, history can
never refuse to do him justice
! when it deals with his conduct
club of Chicago, a copy of which ! of the greatest and most trying
was made public here tonight, ! crisis that has ever confronted
u !s at great length what the ! an American executive. We do
W ilson administration, through ! not even except the frightful
j,-jtary of the Treasury Mc
.'uko. did for the south during
test met and passed by the mar
tyred Lincoln, for the latter had
o past nine months, which he j a certain course mapped, by him
self and others, and followed it.
The lamented Lincoln could not
have evaded the responsibilities
thrust upon him; he made his
tory as it shaped itself before
him.
But President Wilson sails an
risk in- j unchartered sea, will only his
t - - i i t
govern- own counsels ana wisaom to
guide him. A lightly uttered
word, a course taken without
weighing in full its probable con
sequences, may land him on the
shoals at any moment. Consider
his situation with its endless and
ever-going perplexities for a mo
ment, and you will fully realize
the spendid calibre of the man
who holds the destinies of
this nation in his keeping. With
the most powerful nations of
Europe, each and all of them,
viewing the president's every
word and deed with jealous sus
picion; with their constant ten
dencies to distort and miscontrue
his policies, must we not admit
that a truly great sense of jus
tice, and above all, the highest
type of patriotism at all times ac
tuate the president and the man?
Must we not acknowledge that
to be neutral in thought, word,
action and principle requires
greater courage, and a keener
sense q true diplomacy than
battlefield or statecraft can ever
demand?
With this magnificent example
to inspire us, should we not lend
a willing ear to the president's
constant and hearfelt appeals to
his people to the end that they
might trust and sustain him un
til that moment when his policies;
and principles shall triumph?
And that day must surely dawn,
a day when Woodrow Wilson
will stand revealed as the great
est American of modern times, a
leader of his people who stood
unflinchingly by the helm in the
country's darkest hours, and
streered it safely into a port of
safety and honor. Ashe ville Citizen,
ABOUT READY TO BEGIN
ANOTHER ROOSEVELT RIVER
nvuMeterizes as one of the most
"desperate" situations that he
hal eve? seen in his 28 years of
hacking experience.
Among the things done by Mr.
McAdoo, as enumerated by Mr.
Harding, was his recommenda
tion of a bureau of war

establishment of a cash fund of
.! "0.000, 000 to be subscribed by
the banks throughout the non-
oHton producing states out of
which loans should be made on
c.nton.
"'Under the conditions that
f-vvai.ed last fall," said Mr.
Hording, "the creation of a fund
of this magnitude to be loaned
i:p.-n a commodity which was
thon regarded as unmarketable,
was a tremendous undertaking,
bat Secrecary McAdoo devoted
all of his energy and ability to
the task. In the face of enor
mous odds he was successful, and
end as soon as it became evident
that he would succeed in raising
the fund, a demand for cotton,
at vices slightly above the loan
va'.v.e fixed, sprang up and this
demand has confined without
irtevmision, so that the best
j: moes are now selling in the
S'''tth at around 10 cents per
P 'O.ad. a price, which in the
opinion of experts, is as great as
wouid have obtained had there
been no war. While the benefit

We. confined to its moral effect,
it was unquestionably a great
facvr in restoring confidence
and in inviting a movement of
cotton which has developed be

"'Having lived in the south all
my iife and having been engaged
in the banking businens 28 years
before coming to Washington
la: -t summer, I feel warranted in
saying that I have never seen a
situation in the south, apparently
so desperate as that which exist
ed last fall, that was worked out
as rapidly and satisfactorily; and
I wish to say that never before
within my recollection has a sec
retarv of the treasury devoted as
much time and energy to the so
lution of southern problems, nor
shown such knowledge of and
sympathetic interest in the ne
cessities of that section. The
relief afforded the south by Sec
retary McAdoo was intelligent
and effective and the spirit of
helpfulness was restained only
by the limitations of law and
obligations of his oath of office.
The deeds and motives of the
administration will be more and
more appreciated in the south
v.iih the passing of time."
Britain Orders Cessation of Shipping
With Holland.
London, April 22. -Glowing ac
counts of the strength and con
dition of the British army and of
the great increase in the output
of munitions, which it is expect
ed, next month will amount to
25 times what it was last Septem
ber, given by David Lloyd
George, Chancellor, of the Ex
chequer and Harold J. Tennant,
Parliamentary Secretary of the
War Office, in the House of Com
mons, have increased enthusiasm
and confidence of the people of
England in the war.
Supplementing the Chancellor's
statement that Great Britain' has
more than 36 divisions of troops
on the Continent and that the
output of. munitions has increas
ed enormously, Mr. Tennant to
day speaking on behalf of the
Secretary for War, Lord Kitchen
er, declared that recruiting had
been most satisfactory and grati
fying; that the health of the
troops was splendid, and that the
wounded were in the London
hospitals 24 hours after they
were stricken in France. He
wished to impress on the country
the necessity of increasing the
supplies of artillery ammunition,
adding:
'"There is no limit to the
amount required. ' '
The frankness of the Cabinet
Ministers in making known the
number of men at the front, and
reports that reach London from
various sources have convinced
the people that at last the big
effort against Germany and Tur
key is about to commence. Both
in the Aegean and North Seas
there are signs- of increasing
activity. From today all steam
boat communication with Holland
is stopped by order of the British
government.
Taken in connection with the
news from Berlin that British
submarines have been in the
Bight of Helgoland, where the
German admiralty lays claim to
having sunk . one, and perhaps
more,- this is belieyed to fore
shadow some movement in the
North Sea; while there is no
longer any endeavor to hide the
fact that a big Anglo-French
force is prepared to go, as Gen
eral 6'Amande the French com
mander, has said, "to any point
where it is required. "

Loan Fund Works Well.
state-
Durham, April 22. A
rnent of the showing made at the
end of the first year's operation
of the employees' loan fund of
the Durham Hosiery mills shows
that the fund has over $5,000 on
hand and that it has made loans
amounting to $3,912.19. Of this
amount only $7.86 has been lost
on account of people getting the
money failing to return it.
This is a new feature to the
profit-sharing plans of the mills,
it has been wonderfully success
ful , accord ine: to the statement
that was made at the end of the
first year by S. F. Darnell, secre
tary and treasurer of the loan
fund.
The fund was started by the
mills, which set aside certain
amouuts of . its profits for the
benefit of the employes of
mill. This amount during
past four jrears has run well

Acts Like Dynamite on a Sluggish Liver

There is no reason why a per
son should take sickening, saliva
ting calomel when 50 cents buys
a large bottle of Dodson's Liver
Tone a perfect substitute for
calomel.
It is a pleasant, vegetable
liquid which will start your liver
just as sure as calomel, but it
dosen't make you sick and can
not salivate.
Children and grown folks can
take eDodson's Liver Tone, be
cause it is perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug.
It is mercury and attacks your
bones. Take a dose of nasty
calomel today and you will feel
weak, sick and nauseated tomor

Take a dose of Dodson's Liver
Tone instead and you will wake
up feeling great. No more bil

The Philadelphia Record has
observed that "the Republican
spirit of reaction which is just
now doing so much to restore
New. York to the Democratic fold,
has been hardly less active in a
number of Western States, and
is exciting general comment. In
Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa
the tendency has been marked,
the G. O. P. showing a much
greater interest in grabbing of
fices and undoing progressive
legislation than in anything else.
In Ohio this retrograde move
ment has been especially pro
nounced. While the G. O. P.
Governor seeks to oust Demo
cratic officials solely on the
ground that they are 'not in
sympathy with a Republican Adf
ministration, ' the Legislature
aims to blot out much of the

'Two statesmen who have come
into a thorough appreciation of
these facts are Senator Borah
and -Colonel Roosevelt. The
former's recent statement in
Washington, which the corres
pondent of the New York Sun
declares is ' 'one of broad political
significance," gives rise to the
opinion that Borah "intends to
speak his mind plainly against
efforts that may be made to com
mit the Republican party to; a
pronounced reactionary program
and that he desires to be freed hi
any trammels that would result
from his announced candidacy
for the nomination." Likewise
it is inferred from the fact of
the conferences between the two,
that, the Colonel will soon be
found in line with Borah "sup
porting, with all his vigor and
resourcefulness just such a move
as is now crystallizing within tHe
Republican party." Manifestly
the Progressive element of the
Republican party will make a de
termined stand against the drift
toward: a return ?' Xjo the poh'fic&ll
methods of a dead past, and that
the split in the party is far from
having been patched, up. As the
Colonel discovered the River of
Doubt .for the country, he seems
to be in a fair .way to discover
the River of Trouble for the G.

Women Dressed as of Old. Cotton
Prices Would Soar.
Men are such inconsiderate
creatures. While woman, eco
nomical woman, is endeavoring
to reduce to nil the amount of
her wearing apparel, man, un

high cost of living. Some of the
skirts of today seem to carry ad
inflnitum the . policy of reductio

Suppose man, in these warful
times, had to pay for the dresses
of the Elizabethan period! WTith
cloth as expensive as it is today
only one member of the family
at a time could be clothed en

ago in "the movies" the remark
able pictures of Elizabeth, Queen
Bess, as portrayed by Sarah
Bernhardt. What dresses she
wore!
Fairhoit, in his "History of
Costume in England," thus de
scribes Elizabeth, according to
sketches from Walpole "a
sharp-eyed lady with aquiline
nose, red hair, loaded with jew
els, an enormous ruff, a baster
farthingale (the hooped dress of
the period), and a bushel of
pearls bestrewed over the entire
figure."
These and such like were worn
by Bernhardt in her impersona
tion. Panche in a confirmatory
note with reference to the dress
of good Queen Bess, describes
"the great ruff, the jewelled
stomacher and the pretentious
petticoats strutting out with tre
mendous importance. ' '
a iew aays ago we saw m
some oi tne northern papers a
portrait of Mary Todd Lincoln,
the President's wife, in the frock
she wore at the inauguration
ball. In" those crinoline days
there was enough cotton in one
costume of my lady's wardrobe
to furnish the gun cotton for
firing one of Krupp's vastest Jess

Emergence ofSniritual Forces After the
War.
President Wilson, in a speech
last Thursday, predicted that
there would be an emergence of
the spiritual forces directly fol
lowing the war. This belief is
common among all thoughtful ob
servers. It is natural that this
should be the result. The war
was brought on by materialism.
This means that the achievement
of the intellect produced the con
ditions that brought on the bloody
conflict; and the natural result
would be a revulsion against
these materialistic forces.
What is meant by this emergence--
of 4he spiritual - forces?
Simply that the affairs of nations
will be governed by kindness,
goodwill, unselfishness, brother?
ly love, temperance, faith and
the other fruits of the spirit.
This will eliminate hate, oppres
sion, envy, overbearance and the
struggling selfishness that results
in enmities. This is infusing
humanity with a sense of friend
ship which will take the place of
war. ',
This is no dream. Its culmin
ation will come as quietly as the
spring come. It will be an
answer to the prayer of humanity
and the only' promise of a con

WHY WILSON IS NEUTRAL LN W. Ji
NOTICE!
Not Looking For a Scrap, But Will Not !
Walk Around Trouble.
"My interest in the neutrality
of the United States is not the
petty desire to keep out of trouble.
I have never looked for it, but I
have always found It. I do not
want to walk around trouble. If
any man wants a scrap that is an
interesting scrap and worth
while, I am his man. I warn
him that he is not going to draw
me into the scrap for his ar ,-er-tisement,
but if he is looking for
trouble and that is the trouble
of men in general and I can help
a little, why then I am in for it
But I am interested in neutrality
because there is something so
much greater to do than fight,
because there is something, there
is a distinction waiting for this
nation that no nation has ever
got. That is -the distinction of
absolute self-control and self
mastery. Whom do you admire
most among your friends? The
irritable man? The man out of
whom you can get a 'rise' with
out trying? The man who will
fight at the drop of the hat
whether he knows what the
hat is dropped for, or not?
ADMIRES SELF-MASTERED
"Don't you admire and don't
you fear if you have to contest
with him, the self-mastered man
who watches you with a calm eye
and comes in only when you
have carried the thing so far
that you must be disposed? That
is the man you must respect.
That is the man you know has at
the bottom much more fundamen
tal and terrible courage than the
irritable fighting man.

The 10-Cent Grin.
The buy-a-bale movement came
to life last Saturday in Monroe.
When the price got to 10 cents
some of those who had bought
some bales way back yonder when
the movement started brought
it out and sold it with a dry but
happy grin. Most folks who
bought at 10 cents sold long ago.
forgeting ail about having prom
ised to "hold for 10 cents or
bust" Monroe Journal.
