ACCOMPLISHING ITS PURPOSE
I f . : ...
nW fvldences of the fuel that tho reform in I ho banking
Currency laws of the country Is aeeomnHsliIng ltn
purpose. Even better evidence than that comes from
Wall Street.
Prof. E. C. Brooks of Trinity College, In lii.s excellent
new book, "Woodrow Wilaon an l'reiiiilent," tells tins
Incident:
A certain committee from New Vmk called at die
White House tn convince President Wilson lliat the
nankin and currency laws which had dom hcen In force
about a year should be amended.. The chairman of the
committee finally uid to the President:
"Sir, that law is breaking down the power and control
of Wall Street as the money center of the country."
"That reminds me of a story." said the President, as
the unfailing twinkle came to his eye.. "A stranger was
visiting a great Cathedral In London.' lie gazed in wonder
upon its magnificence, and said to tho keeper who was
an Irishman, 'Doesn't that heat the devil?' The Irishman
promptly replied, 'That's what we built it for, Sir'."
No wonder Wall Street is turning heaven and earth to
arouse Interest in Mr. Hughes's campaign. No wonder
it has opened its vaults to tho Republican National Com
mlttee and has made the welkin rink with the cry, "Any
thing to beat Wilson."
WINSTON-SALEM'S CHALLENGE
The W'lnston-SHleni Hoard of MVade Is giving this city
the very best publicity possible by spreading 'broadcast
over the country tho facts and figures concerning the
Industrial progress of Winston-Salem. These figure's show
that during the ten-year period, from liino to Jinn, Hie
. Increase In annual valuo of factory products was" 21.1.2
per cent. And Rince that time (hero has been a further
increase of 130 per cent over the 1010 figures.
This data was obtained from the figures given out by
the Federal Census Bureau. IMidcrs of Tfie Journal will
remember that this paper published (hose 'figures 'when
they first came out several months ago ami that we also
published the figures for thei other North Carolina 'cities
tif over fifteen thousand population, hi that time it was
'seen that Wins'on-Salem led all .others ss'.in iinlusii i;il
cnter.
Now the local Board of Trade, after invo:;f ir.ition. is
led to believe that Winston-Salem's- record In this respeot
Is better than that of any other ciiy in the entire conn
try. Therefore, It has Issued the following challenge:
"A prize of $100 Is offered hy tho Ron hi- of Trade "to the
first authentic claim for a better record for any city in
the United States. The comparisons are lo be based on
the data compiled by the Federal Census ami now lie
Ing published for the several cities of the country."

The condition of many tenant houses in Wlnston
Salem are deplorable. No doult about that, fiut unite
recently the Board of Aldermen took the first step, but
at the same timo a very lung step, toward nVeiUing thai
condition. A whole time Health Officer was employed
nnd an efficient Health Department was established
This Is now being gotten in good running order We yen
..ture..to..iyJhaL.as.a.j'csu!to work tenant hnuwfe will be greatly Improved. Ju fact,
the time is not far distant when landlords will have to
comply with the strictest regulations in building houses
for rent.. In other words, men who propose to erect
buildings for human beings )o live In will liiiye1 to pay
considerable attention to making provision for Ihe health
and lives of those human teings, whether they be black
or white.
We saw by the newspaper dispatches Sunday morn
ing that Hon. T. W. Blckett and Editor K 10. Brltton of
the News and Observer passed through High Point Sat
urday en route- to Ashehoro, where Mr Pickett made a
political speech Saturday afternoon. We were not sur
prised, therefore, to see an editorial in yesterday's News
and Observer headed, "Speaking Not on the Wane." No
man can hear Blckett in this campaign and think that
speaking is on the wane.
i' 1 1 a t Mr. Holton had to say.
His speech was a disappointment to The Journal. We
believe it was disappointing to a great majority of the
intelligent voters of ttie county. It was not the sort of
,-;.ccch that was expected Of a man of Holton's caliber.
Certainly it was not a speech in keeping with the repu
tation he has made as one of the State's political lead
ers. And least of all did The Journal think that one
who bad served for. sixteen years In the high office of
Cnited States Itistrict Attorney could ever make such a
Miecch.
If sotim nf Jiis utti ranees y.u come from the leader
ot the Socialist party Ave would not have been surprised.
If other statements he) made had been shouted from the
platform by some champion of the Industrial Workers
of the World waving the red flag in one hand and the
bloody shirt In the other. while the mob cried, "Down
with tho"gnvernm'lnt !" there would, be tin occasion for
roininent here. Hut when a :man:who has devoted many
i f the best year; of his life to the performance nf the
:irrr. duty of enforcing the laws of a great Nation
boldly proclaims that the time has come when the masses
iiiut array themselves against, the classes, It is time for
men who love righteousness, .lusticd, liberty and, above all,
1 government that deals fairly with rich Slid poor alike to
( xcrt themselves.
When a man undur'a.k.cs tp.in high office bv nrray-'-'
' : S 1 ' s J i i H "',! - -
ip'g dan ":jjSiist "clili if (JllMibtie whose laws should
be written in Ihe interest of no class, lmt--for the general
uelfard of all. when . candidate for office deliberately
f-i eks- to array the cmidoyce against lii.q employei' in a
country, 'whore, if the government would long1 endure, the
manufacturer and Ihe wage earner, the landlord and
the tenant, must each hiJ given equal justice and equal
opportunity under the Jaw, their it Is time for thoughtful
citizens to act ami act decisively.
.Aside from his statement that in this campaign "it
Is the masses against, the classes, ami I ri present die
masses," Mr. Ilolton gave the people no convincing rea
son why he", and not his opponent, should be elected
to the State! Senate. The fact is, it was very plain that
his speech -had been prepared for a Winston-Salem au
dience and was intended to appeal to the local prejudices
of the pcbple of this city,, rather than to the intellects
o( intelligent voters of the county, ,11c devoted much of
V.s time to a discussion of certain ordinances passed by our
I'.oard of Aldermen, such as the ordinance fixing the
wilier, rate and another .protecting the lives of our ..babies
from unclean milk. A considerable1 portion of his speech
; made up of an attack on the municipal government
01 i iiisioii-.-siueni oecause 01 ine rale me people Jiay for
electricity and because of the insanitary conditions that
c.ist in those sections of tho city occupied by tenants.
Not, once did it seem io strike him as significant that a
member of the Statd Senate of North Carolina can do
nothing to remrUy the conditions against which he was
complaining. Indeed, a stranger dropping in at the meet-
,oK ouiii nave 1 in mi 1 n toe speaner was a candidate for
Mayor 01 w inston-Salem instead of for the Senate of
'"on a 1 nulla.. 11 .or. jioiion lias marges to tiring
against tne county administration under Pomneratic rule
h; was woefully silent on them in..his opening speech.
True, Mr. Ilolton denounced our present Iniquitous sys
tem of taxation, and in this The Journal gladly joins him

nrr. convtnertd. feared something was wrong with It, be
viise Hepiiblican leaders like. Mr, Ilolton were support
ing If. In making the tax system an issue, Mr. Ilolton
apparently has forgotten ,nno important thing, and that
is that the Jiemocrai"- of North Carolina is the only -party
that has ever given the people nf (lie Stale an oppoi .
tiinity .to amend their Constitution so, that the system
'.light bo reformed, and that, every Democratic candidate
for office in Porsylh county two years ago went on
record as -favoring that amendment. He. also failed to
remind his hearers tliat the present Democratic candi
date for C.overnor was the most earnest champion of that
tax amendment, .,nd made more spoeVhcs In favor' of It
limn any other man, tiof even excepting Mr. Holton.
Mr. Holton didn't dare discuss the record of his own
party when It was In power in this State. And he
brought only one serious charge against the State Dem
ocracy. This he utterly failed to substantiate and., to.
Bother with other misleading statements he made, will be
discussed in these columns later.
NO MORE FUNDS TQ
GO DIRECT' TO THE
, FLOOD SUFFERERS
(Continued from page One)
the niiiiniiiiiT recognize that in deal
ing with cases that are coming up
now the committees of the Hood dis
tricts can spend the money. to bet
ter advantage. In some instances ap
plications have been received for aid
from men who did not need help,
who lost only a fev acres of corn
and own l.md valued at several
thousand dollars. H is to avoid
rendering aid to the wrong people
that the Winston-Salem committee
has decide,) to turn over funds to
the committees of Wilkes and El
kin. Had News from Asho
..The.Jocal committee is receiving
distressing news from Ashe county
and it is not unlikely that some rep
resentative of the Winston-Salem
committee will go to that county tile
last nf this week.
Wilkes is nun- trying i spend her
funds repairing roads and bridges
destroyed and thus give the people
employment, (n September IS n
bond elect,, m for roads will be held
in Wilkes iiii, if this is carried the
county will have a neat sum to spend
in this wav. Tli,. people of Wilkes
recognize that this is work that must
he done Ik fore the winter sets in.
A reire-i ntative of the I'uitert
States War I icpart n n( will speak in
Oreensboro on the flood relief work
September 7 and al that time rep
resentatives nf t,n various counties
damaged hy the Hood in this section
will see the government representa
tive and p'eseiit their claims with
th,. hope of obtaining more funds
from the government.
BANNER CLASS OF
APPLICANTS FOR
; PRACTICE OF LAW
(Continued from page, fine)
Ihe arguments will consume the en
tire week of the court's daily sessions
Trnm 10 to 2 o'clock. The list of
1 nose receiving licenses will probably
lie published about Thursday.
In connection with the commence
ment of the examinations this morn
ing, Chief Justice Walter Clark said
that while .this was decidedly life,
largest class in the history of the
court, he believed it would also lii
all probability lie Hie last, , for the
reason that the State Par Association
has asWil .Ulu.tthci.-o. he created a
a State pniird of examiners, for this
service, lust as there now cvist i,.i...i
1 to license physicians. pharmacists
anil -other professional men. He said
th,. Supreme Court is ready to .ac
cept whatever-decree .the General
Assembly makes in regard to the
matter.
The Chief Justice said that the du
ties devolving on t lie five Supreme
Court justices are now about 20 times
as great as they were when -the prac
tice of having the- court examine and
license the lawyers was inaugurated
a century ago. He said that nearly
all the States of the I'nion now have
hoards ti" grant the licenses for law
yers. There was the usual award of spe
cial prizes offered by Chief Justice
Clark to the winner of the best -scholarship
In the different law schools,
duly Trinity and the I'niversity nf
North Carolina classes had competi
tions for this year. William Pell
Whilaker. Jr., of Wilson won. the
prize in the Pnlversity class and S.
S. Alderman of f Ireensboro in the
Trinity class. . The prizes werrt spe
cial autograph volumes of "Modern
American Law." ' "i"
o'clock wh:e the President was at
dinner. Their conference with the
l'rsnleiit was brief. He handed one
copy of the railroad's counter pro
posal to A. P.. Carretson. spokesman
for the employes, and said that lie
would not discuss it at ail,
Kvery effort was made to keep the
call at the White House secret. The
i'nion heads returned to their hotel
singly and hy separate routes. Af
ter passing not tliR. worn that they
would meet Ihe committee of i'4 to
morrow morning to discuss tlie pro
posal, they went to their rooms, de
clining absolutely to discuss their
conference..
Traitors Among J'mployes
News that the strike order sent
out yesterday was in the Hands of the
railroad presidents occasioned no sur
prise among the brotherhoods.
After it became known yesterday
that they suspected three of their
number of actifig-;is spies for the rail
road heads thev announced frankly
I they had given the order to employes.
More than aim copies or the order, it
was learned today, were mailed out
of Washington late last night, and
each of the committee of 64u also re
ceived a copy. Copies in the hands
of the executives are supposed to have
been mailed hack here fom nearby
points.
"There was one traitor among the
t2 disciples." one of the brotherhood
heads said, "and our average appears
to be higher than that."
Labor Day Dato t or Strike
Labor Pay was agreed upon as the
time for the tentative strike order to
become operative, it developed to
day, after careful' consideration of
several dates. It Dually was chosen be
cause of (tie belief tnaf a deiiionstra

who will march in Labor Day
Parades, in behalf of the brother
hoods, would have the effect of win
ning much public support for the
strikers I'.v Labor Day, also, liie
si rike Under will have been scatter
ed to fill points1 on all-divisions in the
'iiifvit ry .' The Irist nf the delegates who
left here yesterday will have reached
their homes by next I'iday night.
Although the strike' order is for 7
o'clock next Monday morning, all lines
affected probably would not be tied
up before some time that night, if the
order were released,

"We hope to tie up all freight and

said.

German government circles have ex

It was known here that the Entente

a Russian advance against AUstrki-

was argued here, would In that event.
considering he Rumanian antipathy
