" '.-''" ' The Southern Newspaper publishers . association recently met in Asheville, followed by the North Carolina Press association last, week, this to be fol lowed by, the Western North; Carolina Weekly Press association -on August 23. This is quite incessant pressing hut it takes a good deal to crush the risible slats of Asheville. Q r. Wonderur, truly wonderful what some of the American boys are learn ing in France. ;For instance, there's Dan Thompkins, erstwhile vigorous editor of the Jackson County Journal "who more than ayear ago laid down his pen and joined his local radio com pany. .Now he goes into rhapsodies in a letter to his. mother about the thrill ing experience he is having learning ..to ride a bicycle. . , v v :; . v, r- O-z -rr - - f "The1 triangle Trlps7:isf what Dr. Morse-has named- the drive .Including Hendersonville, v Asheville, Bat . Cave -and Chimney. Rock pr at least he bursts into print first. He "Looped TherLoop" for quite a. while around Jump-Off but couldn't make the con necting link and now he adopts some thing that is jrnore practical. A good name, Doctor, -and a. drive .well worth taking. ' . v o ' Listen how charitable the Jackson Co., Journal is in its endeavor to induce people to attend a big revival: "One of the most important things in a man's life is to prepare to die and to make the world better." Sometimes we are merciless enough to think that jthe world would be beter by, the pass ing of some from the scene of action .or inaction as the case may be but we never had the courage to tell it in .this bold manner. o ; . EDUCATION AND THE WAR Many lessons of value have grown out of the war. One of these is the influence emphasizing the practical importance of collegiate training in connection with the qualifications de manded of candidates for . admission to officers' training camps, or to civ ilian positions of military importance. Young men qualified in every other way have been lacking in educational training. No doubt many capable whn would have made efficient officersT-were lettiout- ihe X because tbeirUtoitei cation. True it is, that no hara-.ana fast wile was drawn in passing on candidates, but education-college education especially-was a distinct advantage. Of coursesome college bred men have little common-sense and this class profited little on ac count of University training. All college men may not be prac tical, but in the selection of officers to man our armies, university ing was a convenient and usually a reliable distinguishing mark for the examining efficers. Hereafter the best educated nation, other -things being etiuaUis going to he ! the best natibn in which, to livet and the, nation besr able, to Qombat kultur' in all of its aspects. Young men should, therefore, give 'more serious consideration to a college ca reer, fotbe.re col lege graduates in all branches' of waf work is the strongest ; kind fef argu ment that An .ednfition , pays.

Free peoples ev erywhere echo the cry and all Chris tendom yearns for the day when hu man freedom, shall be enthroned) In every country and in every clime. To make the world safe for Dem ocracy, in. the fine phrase of our matchless President, our heroic sons on the western front are fighting and dying every day. Millions more of them over-seas, in the cantonments and in our homes are ready and eager to ,def end even unto .death the sa cred principles for the perpetuation of which the United States went to war. - We must make North; Carolina as safe for Democracy as any other part of the demoralized world after this war is over. This is an : important part of the task and imperative duty of those of us left to keep the home fires burning.- The corner-stone of Democracy is equality. But victory will be largely temporary and fruit less unless the masses of the people of the world be adequately prepared .lor the larger duties, the graver re sponsibilities, the greater- priviliges the harder . tasks of . Democracy and for its appreciation, preservation and transmission preparation through the education of all the people In every democratic land. North Carolina has always cheer fully responded to the call for service in any national crisis. She has nev er been remiss in supplying her quo ta of men ( and none) " to defend home and country. To the proud ap pellation : "First at Bethel, Farthest to the front at Gettysburg and Last at Appomatox" may be added "First against German v aggression, for George Creel vouches for the story that it was a Western North Carolina mountaineer who led the way down the gang-plank wihch connected the Pershing transport with the dock 01 Frfinepor,tnnerican. f orces j loyalty and good citizenship means more than supplying men for the army; more than buying Liberty Bonds, Thrift Stamps and War Sav ings Certificates; more than subscrib ing to the Red Cross and the Young Men's Christian Association; more than the practice' of thrift and econ omy. The highest mark of efficiency cannot be attained by any community or commonwealth without an educa ed citizenship: The proposed amendment to the constiiution would provide a way of escape from the present inadequate plan of creating school funds and in surer a six month' term in every dis trict. It ought to . be ratified, by a unanimous vote of both' the demo . crats and republicans; It is an issue upon which all may ; unite for the betterment of conditions generally "and; uplift of citizenship " of North s Carolina in particular.. , ?The world will not;, we ' repeat, be made) safe for 'iflemocracy, nor ' will democracy, be made safe for the world, even after the war, unless the masses jq the people joi the world be adequately prepared for the larger duties, the graver responsibilities the . greater ', privileges-V the." harder tasks' which, an educated citizenship The. ratification1 6t-ithe' felx' months'!

It should be remembered that the local board, had authority to pass only on claims of dependency and those young men who secured deferred clas sification, got there on afflidavits furn ished the district board at Statesville. This has caused criticism, some of which is righteous and just, because of misleading affidavits. Friends were asked to make, cetrain statements which they would not have consented to make had it not been out of friend ship for the registrant and the par ents. The conscience has lashed some of these affiants and they have been bold enough to say so. You can- Knot expect fair and impartial classi fication by the district board vwhen claims of deferred classification on industrial and agricultural ground are supported by false and misleading af fidavits. There will be a day of reckoning and young men who think they are safe from service when other brave boys have marched up like heroes to the defense of their country yrlVt have to do their part. The war must and will be won if it takes all classes and widening of the age limit to do it Cleveland Star. - ft 0 EDUCATION AND DEMOCKACY How shall the people be made more intelligent and efficient? The teach ers must do all they can. So must the : preachers, the newspaper work ers and all other folks who claim to be able to put the folks in touch With the sources of truth. t The question is, are we making the best use of- all the facilities? Henry E. Jackson, of the United States Bureau of Education, thinks that we are not. He says the war is making a' challenge to all thoughtful people to braganize a better sort of world. "The best answer to this challenge," he continues, "is the organizatfon of school districts into little democracies with the schoolhouses as their capi tis. The natural center of any American community is the free pub lic school building. It is the Ideal platform for a community forum where citizens may go to school to one another and freely discuss all so cial and economic questions in order to fit themselves for the responsibili ties of citizenship. It is the social center for all enterprises." Secretary of the Interior, Frankiin K. Lane, under whose department the Bureau of Education works, says "Don't close the schools; use them-to -the schooj.house Is being made more and more the civic center of the community. But this fact carries its responsibilities. The proverbial lit tle red school house is not suited as a meeting place for the people of the large populous communitites of the present. Using the school as the ly ceum of . the neighborhood . necessi tates a speeding up of the trend to- ( wards larger and better school build ings, and that means in general a more generous attitude on the part of the people to their schools. There must be a greater willingness to; In vest money in schools. For jthe school is becoming ever a greater factor! In the development of theest side of the "life of the people.

Administration to the SUte is based on this ration and the certiflcatis al lowed to merchants are also based on this radon. Supply Is Small. The sugar situation confronting ths United States is. described by the Food Administration as follows: . "The sngar supplies throughout the country, in homes, stores, factories, and bakeries are at low ebb; the pro duction from the American beet and Louisiana cane crops has been disap pointing; the yield in Porto Rico has likewise been smaller than anticipat ed; and the inability of the United States and the Allies to secure sugar from Java and other distant sources on account of the imperative call for ships for the movement of troops and their supplies has materially reduced the supply from such quarters. Added to this already difficult situation the quantity needed by the army and navy greatly esxeeds earlier estimates; we .must send a large amount to France and Italy to take the place of the great volume lost through the German and Austrian invasions during which much beet land ' was over-run and many factories destroyed; we have to supply certain quantities to- neutral nations under agreements; and finally over fifty million pounds were lost re cently through submarine sinkings off our Atlantic coast." irs an "Essential Element. In asking the public voluntarily to reduce theft consumption to ' a level more nearly equal to the compulsory restrictions in effect in France, Eng . land and Italy, the statement says that while soger is often used as a luxury in America, it has become an "essen tial element for the success of the war among; the nations of Europe." "Upon our action here," the state meat continues, "depends the possi bility of maintaining the ration to our own fighting 'men and those of the Allies as well as of avoiding a still fur ther reduction of the allotments to the civil populations of the nations fight ing Germany which are already down to a point far under their normal needs."
