Every Druggist Has It Avoid Substitute. ; APPEAL FOR THE ASSOCIATED CHARITIES SENT OUT YESTERDAY OF BRYAN be found; if in the end our armies must invade that land of beauty and of song, who will asperse the great commoner for raising his voice In warning against the woe and desola tion, the loss and grief which must re sult! What fireside will not be bright er, what victory will be made less glorious and triumphant by his course?" - The following appeal has been sent Dt for funds for the Associated Charities: Appeal. Xever, since the organization of the Associated Charities of Charlotte has there been such a heavy demand upon Its resources as during the past three months. In addition to the usual amount o fsickness among the poor I he present winter has brought - in creased sickness among those least able to meet the financial burden. In other days the city has taken care of these extraordinary conditions, but this year the work was turned over to the Associated Charities. , To illustrate: A number of families, nearly all among working people, have bad cases of smallpox. The house is quarantined for three weeks. There is no one left to support the family. The Associated Charities is called upon for aid. During the time of sickness all necessaries of life must be provided. If one knows the number of families in the city that had smallpox and what it costs to provide food and fuel for an average family for three weeks, he can estimate the drain upon the Associated-Charities treasury. ; The unusually severe weather rec ently has added to the burden, making necessary generous provision of food, clothing ' and fuel. Sickness, with at tendant need, will no doubt continue to nraw heavily upon the society's treas ury far into the summer. The .organization finds it necessary to say that the increase in contribu tions has not kept pace with the growing demands. When it became nec essary to meet these extraordinary con ditions the Associated Charities could not wait until th? money was in the treasury before it extended aid. It would have been too late. ' For the month of February bills for food and fuel (necessities of life) amounting to $300 are yet unpaid. To care for the additional sickness among the poor, white and colored, it was necessary to borrow $400. Altogether the present total obligations of the society amount, to $1,002. This is written as an appeal to the sitizens of Charlotte not only to in crease the number of regular contribu tors, but that special contributions may be made at this time to relieve the so ciety's financial strain. For the information of contributors the society gives herewith a brief statement of its methods of relief work. In emergencies relief is given without delay, but in every case this is followed by a searching investigation not only to ascertain the real need, but to see if all the family resources are utilized. When the correct method of proce dure is not clear cases are referred to n committee of representative citizens from various churches and organiza tions, which meets once a week at the office of the society. These persons have special facilities for learning the true condition of the needy in their Immediate vicinity. Final action is de termined by the committee's deci sion. The drectors of the society ap preciate the loyal support of regular contributors, without whose aid it ' would be impossible to carry on the work. But with the broadening socie to solve is that of the "stranded fami. ilies and individuals to be cared for this support has been found inade quate. Spasmodic giving is so uncer tain that the society frequently finds itself seriously hampered for lack of funds. The Associated Charities is the peo ple's institution and the work can be carried on only as the public directs and provides the means. While the budget for. all causes has doubled in the last three years, due to the growth of the city and the enlarge ment of the society's work, our con tributors have perhaps not realized this fact, and the income has not kept pace with the needs. One of the problems the society has lo solve is that of the "standard fami ly." In some cases families come to Charlotte to find employment. The un skilled labor market has not been brisk 'his winter. Through lack of foresight such people are unable to provide for themselves. An appeal is made to the Associated Charities, or the case is brought to the society's attention. Be fore aid is given the application Is in vestigated, and at times the only so lution is found to be the sending back of the people to their former homes in order that they may not become a burden upon this community. Tbis is one phase of the society's work. All its operations are in the hands of trained and experienced workers and they do their work in a spirit of intelligent Christian sympathy. The results are of untold benefit to the city, and only eternity will reveal the full meaning of this united effort in Denaii oi nu manity. The society appeals with confidence to the Charlotte business men of Char lotte in this extremity. i HOLMES BLAIR, President. J. A. DURHAM, J. B. ALEXANDER, C. W. TILLET, Sr. W. R.

Woman suffrage advocates yesterday lost their fight in the United States sen ate for a resolution proposing an amendment of the federal constitu tion giving women the ballot. The vote was 35 for the measure to 34 aginst it, a two-thirds affirmative vote being required for passage, and when it, was over suffragist leaders jubi lantly pointed to the majority of one as conclusive proof that their cause had scored a triumph in defeat, and was immeasurably stronger than its opponents ever had been willing to concede.

Davidson, March 20 At a meeting held in Shearer Hall last night the student body voted in favor of a col lege newspaper, which will begin very shortly and will give a detailed account of all the happenings of the college and the surrounding commu nity. The paper will not only -be of great interest to the college students, but to the people of the town and the alumni of the college, as it will keep them in touch with the college and the items of interest after they have left. It was thought at first that he newspaper would interfere with the Annual or the Davidson College magazine, but such will not be the case, as the school is well capable ot supporting the three publications. Mr. Frank Price was elected editor-in-chief at a meeting at chapel this morning. The business manager lies between Mr. McAllwaine and Patrick as the two were tied in counting the ballots. The Davidson orchestra and Glee Club leave next Tuesday to render a performance at Statesville, after which they will return to the college and leave shortly for a trip to Co lumbia, S. C. Dr. W. E.

By Associated Press. Lincoln, Neb., March 20. Defending the administration's Mexican policy, declaring Secretary Bryan was the originator of "watchful waiting" and predicting that the people will some day rejoice over the warning against "woe and desolation" that would fol low intervention in Mexico, Senator Joe T. Robinson, democrat, of Arkan sas, addressed friends and neighbors of Mr. Bryan at a dinner here last night to ce lebrate the fifty fourth, anni versary of tn secretary's birth. Senator Robinson recited the his tory of "ill-fated" Mexico from the days of Maximilian asserting that conditions today are worse than ever and that Mexico has continually de clined through a series of upheavals until today the country is divided with Huerta at the head of one assumed government and Carranza and Villa at tempting to reign supreme in anoth er. "Maximilian- was benevolent. Ma dero was generous. Huerta is malig nant and revengeful. Maximilian was self-sacrificin Huerta is cruel and avaricious. His character is exemplified in his dec laration: "It costs but thirty-five cents to buy enough rope to hang a rebel!" "The vital, dominating leader of the rebel armies is Villa; it is not Car ranza. Carranza is like Madero. Villa is like Huerta. His sagacity and ag gressiveness have made him the mas ter and the terror of northern Mexi co. Villa recognizes neither law nor custom. His most striking character istic is vindictiveness coupled with a marked capacity for military leader ship. It is illustrated by his now fa mous toast: " 'I hope to live to eat the beef that will fatten on the grass which will grow on the graves of all my enemies.' "The slaughter of Benton and the murder of Bauch, respectively British and American subjects, by this 'human J tiger,' have alienated the sympathy of cause of the constitutionalists to doubt, if not to doom, in the; minds and con science of all our people. "With Villa in command in the north and Huerta in power in the south, what hope has Mexico? If the constitutionalist cause should triumph, the fate of Madero may become the lot of Carranza. . Villa will probably dominate him or destroy him. The dark ages with all their horrors, ty ranny, usurpation and torture, cannot produce names . more hideous in all that implies oppression and outrage than the names of Huerta and Villa! There is little choice between these men. Huerta stands for the old regime Villa fights for its destruction." Senator- Robinson predicted that the cause of the constitutionalists would be retarded, if not defeated, "by its lawless leadership which seems to recognize no limitation upon its own wrath." rne policy ot our government is justified by conditions in Mexico, Senator Robinson coritinued. "The spirit of impatience which has prompt ed some to advocate armed interven tion must be restrained. Our experi ence in the Philippines, and the whole history of Mexico, warn us against hasty or inconsiderate action. Inter vention means a long period of occupa tion. It makes certain the sacrifice of thousands of lives.' More than that, it contemplates the assumption of a bur den which can not now be weighed. It would array all Mexico against the United States and unite all factions there against our armies. v "Let those who criticise the policy of 'watchful waiting' anticipate the results of armed intervention. Let them realize the many, turbulent years of strike that must follow; the blood that must inevitably flow; the homes that must be made desolate; the almost hopelessness of the prob lem of bringing order out of chaos E SUFFERS DEFEAT III THE SENATE pass, quired a two-thirds were: Ashurst, Brady, 'Brtetow, Burton, Chamberlain, Clapp, Clark (Wyom ing), Gallinger, Gronna, Hollls, Hughes, Jones, Kenyon, LaFollette, Lane, Lea, Myers, Nelson, Newlands, Norris, Owen, Perkins, Poindexter, Ransdell, Shafroth, Sheppard, Sher man, .

Immediately after the vote, Sen ator Shafroth, of Colorado, sought to introduce a new resolution for con stitutional amendment requiring each state . to vote on granting suffrage to women, on petition from five per cent of its voters. The senate went into executive session before the sen ator could get the floor, however, and tne resolution will be offered later. ine resolution defeated yesterday was the first introduced in the pre ent congress. It was presented by benator Chamberlain, of Oregon, and the Woman Suffrage committee later authorized Senator Ashurst to repon it favorably. Thought otherwise the vote virtual ly was non-partisan the Southern senators, all democrats, lined up al most solidly against the amend ment. They contended it would com plicate the negro question in their states. Of the Southerners only Sen ators Ransdell, Louisiana; Sheppard, Texas, and Lea, Tennessee, voted for the resolution.
