leaders cannot take the measure ot

would be under normal conditions,
but these are not normal times. But
the average man of common sense is
not holding the President responsible ;
for the effect of the blighting Euro-1
pean war. He has come to realize!
that if he escapes that great conflict'
with his skin whole, no matter where!
a portion of his fortune goes, he will f
be doing very well.
The war of nations is so far-reach-',
ing that sane people conversant vith
the facts are not kicking because ot j
a tew nnanciai set oacKs, or aiscom-1

dent Wilson may sit steady in the boati

Maelstrom that is hurrying hundreds j
of thousands of men to death on the i
battlefield.

nesses such a storm as is now rag

Republicans of ability see tha,t this
country is destined to play quite a
different part among Nations from I
what it has in the past. America 5s:
to be greater than ever or will de
generate into a province of some great
Nation. Many men of all parties re
joice daily that such a strong man as
Woodrow Wilson, with generations ot
intellectuality, sturdiness and charac
ter behind him, is in the White House
at this time. They feel safer' with
him than they would some trimming
politician.
Therefore, the calamity howl does
not count at this time, when danger
ous breezes are blowing across the
ocean day and night.
Mexican Problem.
Just before Congress quit there
were indications that the Republicans'
would try to make the attitude of the
President toward the Mexican strug
gle an issue. That fell flat at the out
set. Very few Americans ' are wor
rying about the citizens of the United
States who are still in the country. It
the President had his way he would
re-establish constitutional Govern
ment in Mexico, and see that every
man has protection lor person and
property. He has done the best he
could under the circumstances.
The Republicans will have to find
a better issue than they have trotted
out yet before they can win in 1916.
The President is stronger than any
party. He is at least a neck ahead
of his own organization. Were an
election held today he would lead the

was fresh from the people and came-
to the President with a head full of j
encouraging information. He is very
optimistic.
The Outlook says that Wilson's ac
ceptance, of Bryan's resignation was
the bravest act of his administration
so far. True. Both Bryan and Wil
son, we believe, did the right as they
saw the right.
AN APPEAL TO THE
ADVOCATES OF NA
TIONAL PROHIBITION
It is an assured fact that the Na
tional Anti-Saloon League Convention
at Atlantic City, New Jersey, July 6-
9th, will be a success.
The latest re-
ports indicate that thirty thousand
will be present. One Sunday school
from Philadelphia will send fifteen
hundred. The program, which is just
out. is filled with men and women ot
national and international reputation
, in both State and church affairs. Su-
, preme court judges, governors, sen--
cf national prohibition and an inspira -
tion that will make them a force in
bringing it about. I am jealous that
.North Carolina shall be largely rep -
resented at this historic gathering.
It is an assured fact that we will;
have representatives from all parts;
and other places have written they
will go.
Never before has the National Or-
ganization made such preparations
for a convention, nor has our State;
',1776, these flags have in large letters,!
"X. C. A. S. L." (North Carolina
Anti-Saloon League) and our yell,
which is:
"Tarheels, tarheels, tarheels, are we,
Who come from a prohibition State,
Don't you see?
'A quart in fifteen days,'
The laws now read;
But our doctors say, 'Nil,'
And to them we give heed."
These flags can easily be worn in the
hats of the ladies or gentlemen or:
siuck in tne outton noies oi tne coars
or pinned on the shirtwaists, but
wherever we go in Atlantic City, the
people will know that we are from
North Carolina and are proud of the
fact.
To secure representation from ev
ery county and community only re
quires that some man or woman in
terested in the proposition take hold;
of it and bring it to the attention ot
the church or Sunday school, or some
ranged for their expenses, it is high
time for action and this earnest ap
peal is to every pastor and Sunday
school superintendent, or any other
man or woman that loves the cause,!
to get busy and see that such a selec
tion is made next Sunday. Bring the
matter up in Sunday school, prayer
meeting, Baraca class, preaching, or
somewhere else and have your com
munity to take stock in this conven
tion. In ease you do not have time to
write us of your delegate, remember
that our delegation will get together
at Washington, D. C, Monday, July
5, and leave there at 4 P. M. over the
Pennsylvania for Atlantic City, and
reaching there at 8:S9. Summer ex-
cursion rates to Atlantic City are on
, . . i
from all pints of any size in North
Carolina, which rate is equivalent to
two eents Per mi,e- but a cheaper rate
can be secured from Washington. Re
turn ticket from there is $9.05. The
cheapest plan is to go on milage to
.Washington and buy return ticket
from there. ,

THE MARCH OF PROHIBITION
Legalized Traffic of Liquor Steadily;

Statesville Landmark. i
A canvass by the Associated Press !
of legislative activity this year in!
the State law-making bodies of the!
j country, most of which have adjourn -
i ed for the summer, shows that among
the subjects which received notable!
j attention was that of the prohibition
or the regulation of the liciuor traffic,
The Legislatures of two States en -
acted statutory prohibition to be-
come effective this year, and eight,
i lished statutory prohibition to., be-
j come effective in the meantime.

ment, prohibition is to go into et

ho was also made "dry" meanwhile
through statutory enactment. In
Utah the bill was vetoed by the Gov
ernor after the Legislature adjourn
ed. In South Carolina, the vote will
be taken at the election this year; In
Montana, South Dakota, Vermont,
and Alaska in 1916; Idaho in 1915.
It will thus be seen that as meas
ure of the progress of the cause oi
prohibition the 15 States already in
the ranks have this year been re
inforced by four and the legislative
way cleared for four others, includ
ing Alaska, to join. In the latter
nt neariv half the countrv
will
have placed the ban on the liquoi
traffic.
The new Florida law goes into ef
fect October 1 and prohibits the sale
of alcoholic beverages except in seal
ed packages of less than one-half pint
each, nor can liquor be drunk on the
premises where sold. This applies
to restanrants, hotels, and clubs as
well as saloons.

Peru is one of the few countries ot
the earth which has not yet granted

ATTENTION, FARMERS!
Some years ago the Commissioner
of Agriculture drew a bill, which was
unanimously passed by the Legis-
lature, to reduce the cost of legume
inoculating material from the exhor-
bitant price of two dollars an acre to
. a price which he felt the average far-
: mer could afford to use it. The ef-
feet of this bill was to reduce the.
price of this material not only to the
farmers of North Carolina but to
1 those of the entire South as well, ana
j a number of other Southern States
have since followed the lead of North
cost price of fifty cents an acre on
; the material with tne determination to,
' reduce the price lower and lower av
the demand increased. During 1914;
the Department distributed nearly ,
000 acre-bottles from August to De -
cember, thus effecting a direct saving'
to the farmers of the State of over
$10,000 in less than four months. Dur
ing the past six months the distribu
tion has reached around 1.200 acres
and the season has hardly opened, j
The Commissioner feels, therefore,
that the time has come to make an-
other cut in the price, and he now,
plans to reduce the cost price of the;
material from fifty cents an acre to'
forty cents an acre; beginning July 1,
1915.

When Mr. Schwab was nine years of
age he began his business career as clerk
in a Pennsylvania village grocery store at
$2.50 per week. He advanced slowly and
at the age of fifteen was still working far
the same grocer at $3.30 per week.
His personal qualities had attracted tha
attention of W. It. Jones, then manager
of the Thompson Steel Works. When
young Schwab applied for work. Mr. Jones
asked: "Can you drlvs stakes?" "Yes."
was his reply, v "I can drive anything."
"Will you work for one dollar a day?"
"Certainly," said the ambitious boy, "I
will work for anything I can get."
Just ten ysars later, the boy became
th successor to Mr. Jones, as general
manager, at a aalary of 3,000 per year.
A few years later ha became president
of the Carnegie Steel Co. at $50,000 and
at the age of forty he was elected presi
dent of the Steel Trust at $150,000 a year,
probably the largest salary In the world.
"Everybody." says Mr. Schwab, "la ex
pected to do his duty, but the one who
does more than his duty ta the ona wM
succeeds."
