"VTbis beautiful Christmas Day
reminds us that it is the birth.
day of the Prince of Peace. It
is Christmas for the people in all
Christian lands, and mav it be an
. .
for the wanner nations of the
World. It is significant that at
this Christmas season. 1912 years
since the birth of Christ, the
representatives of the EaroDean
nations art in London to bring
about peace between Turkey and
the Balkan allies and possibly to
avert impending war between all
the nations, and to set at a set-
tlement that will relieve Europe
of the constant menace that
hangs over the nations because
of. the jealousies created by the
situation in luricey and the othr
er Balkan countries.
( hristmas offers to the world
an opportunity to catch the spirit
or mm wno preached peace on
earth and good will toward men "
After 19 centuries, it seems an
age for that doctrine to take
hold of men and nations, vet to-
oay; ine aonorence of war is
greater than it has been for a
thousand years or more. We are
still discussing "world peace" at
this late day. after wars of the
roost bloodv character within the
present and past few yean How
ever, it seems that world Dace

taut of all the advocates of peace.
Men are refusing to become"bu1

nean governments and because
of the act of aggression, ava
rice and policies of governments
in which they have JJtte, inter

man for the army in case of nerd j
Thus it got to be a common say-1
ing that young men old enough
for army service were "bullet
meat,"
The peace movement has made
progress when men refuse to be
come bullet meat Civilization
has advanced to the point tlut
men are more valuable as units
in the great industrial and social
svstem than as units in the ar
mies of any country, especially
of a despotism or a monarchy.
War may be justifiable when
great principles are involved or
humanity is concerned, bat the
men who are expected to offer
themselves as sacrifices in battle
are beginning to discriminate
about the kind of wars that can
enlist their interest and service.
Any prospect of a general war
in. Europe is meeting with ths
protest of the men who are ex
pected to do the bloody work.
The Austrians have' held creat
demonstrations against the mob
ilization of Austria's army dur
ing the Balkan crisis audit is
quite evident that Austria's in
tentions to fight has no symoa
thy from the people. A few davs
ago, the workingmen throughout
France laid down their tools and
the wheels of industry were at a
standstill. -For the space of 24
hours the workers : and toilers
were idle and the ordinary course
of business was seriously inter
rupted. Earning and production
ceased. The men were on a strike
against war. They struck for
peace.
The Slogan of the French work
ingmen durhsr their demonstra
tion was "War against war, "and
their object was a protest against
militarism. They are not onlv
burdeoed with taxes to support
great ' navies ind standing r
piies, but they are expected to
abandon the support of their
families and risk their livss and
: limbs in battles for the ourpose
of upholding some ambit! ms
scheme of so-called statesmen or
for the purpose of conquests in
causes that are the result of un
reasonable aggressive policies
Whatever result the demonstra
tion of the Frenchman may have,
it is certain that the 8U9Dension
of work for a day meant a loss
of many thousands of dollars to
them in wages and a. great loss
in the productive wealth of the
Nation. How much more severe
would be the suspension of work
and wages and production for an
indefinite period of costly and
disastrous war?
Perhaps the demonstrations of
the Austrian and French work
ingmen, who would be pitted
against each other in deadly
strife, may not have any effect
in checking militarism, but their
protest against war is both im
pressive and significant. The
protest of those who are comoell
ed to stand the brunt of war has
caused all the world to take no
tice of it. The workinsrmen re
gard their anti-war strike as a
success. It showed hat the pop
ular idea of war is abhorrent.
and that sentiment against war
is strong and growing among
those who are expected to carrv
guns and fill the graves of sol
diers. The protest must be re
garded with satisfaction, for it
indicates a united dissent and
unrest among those who are used
to slaughter other men and be
i slaughtered themselves bv men
! no more concerned in the carnage
i than thev are.
i When statesmen and nations
begin to realize the horrors and
burdens of war, as the victims
seem to be doing, the chances
of peace for the human race will
grow. The spirit of the brother
hood of man will grow, and the
world will fully realize what
Christ meant in his benediction
to all jnankind; "Peace be unto
all men."

Editor, Roanoke-Chowan Times:
Dear Sir:
I don't mean to say we never
got more than six cents per doz
en for our .'eggs, while on th
free list, but they did go as low
as that. Since the tariff has been
on foreign eggs I don't remem
ber the price going lower than 10
cents per dozen, and not as high
as 28 cents while on the free list.

officers be made to show whether

DotibtleBS many are, but what
about the others? If a health
officer is a paying officer to a
town, county or state it should
be known: if he is not. that fact
should also be known. But how
are the people to know, how can
they tell whether or not a health
officer is worth his salt? Easily
enough. A health officer's busi

prevent deaths. Now. if this
coming Legislature will pass a

Likewise he will know about the
