COWARDICE AS A FOREIGN POL
ICY.
lender the al»ove caption the New
York World says editorially:
,Ity 'foreign relations Mr. Ilarding is
afraid of everything. lie is afraid of
commitments, as he calls them. He is
afraid -of entanglements. He is afraid
of responsibilities. He is afraid of ob
ligations. He*is afraid of the Senator-
He is especially afraid of the Battal
ion of.-death. He is a fra id of,liis own
record as Senator/ He is afraid^to In*
consistent and he is afraid to be incon
sistent. lie is afraid to act and he is
afraid not to act. And in consequence
no human being in all the world knows
what the foreign policy of the United
States will be from, day to day.
It is possible to devise a foreign poD
i icy that rests only on cowardice, for
L Mr. Ilarding has proved that it can
<k)ue. But the net result of it alii
|p is that the political and economic con
—l ditmn of the civilized world is far
™ than it was the day that Mr.
Ilarding took office., In fact all Eu
rope is on the verge of collnpsce. If
fhsit is really what the American peo
ple voted for An 1920, that is what
tney have to show for it.
There is little -question about the
, influence our foreign policy has had on
"Europe. A number of prominent men
from this and other countries have tes
tified that France and firman y would
not be at each other's neck today if
the United States had been a party to
the League of Nations and the repara
r fleas conferences. We had “observe
ers” at the latter, to be sureT but they
> did nothing. Their exact status is un
derstood by no one outside of the
White House, and ,we doubt if Mr.
Harding kiuflvs what they really arc
- supposed to do.
It is the same old question ol trying
to live alone. That can't be done. We
are inevitably bound up with European
. conditions, and this Republican policy
of adopting cowardice as a foreign ik»l
- is bringing the result that was ex
pected.
WLen President of (he United States
Mr. Woodrow Wilson said the German
reparations'should amount to fifteen
billions. Tim Germans declared this
amount was too great, while France
. aflcl Great Britain declared it was far
too low. But recents events have prov
ed these figures to be about correct.
■ • and again {the policy of Mr. Wilson is
vindicated.
We ate going to lmve to take part
in European affairs, and every coun
try will prosper with speedy action on
our part.
MAKING FARCE OF THE tl\lL
SERVICE.
The Republicans, under the plan
adopted some time ago by President
Harding, are making a farce >of it lit
Civil Service.
'k For eighteen months a Republican
has been'actiug as postmaster at Bed
ford, Trimble County. Kentucky. Uu
August 31, 1921, a civil service exami-j
nation was held for this office and (he
highest three ratings were" all obtain
ed by Democrats.
Under President Wilson the uppoint
’ went went to the person with the high
l est rating regardless of politics. Un
der an executive order issued by Pres-
H ident Harding any one of the highest
§£ three was made eligible for appoint
ment. . \
After- eighteen mouths a Republican
continues to act as postmaster at Bed-'
ford, Bedford is in the-district of
Representative Arthur B. Rouse, the
phairman of the Democratic Congres
' sioual Campaign Committee, and he
has written a letter of protest to,
Postmaster General Work coacenupg
j his failure to appoint one of the three
j eligibles on the civil service list. At
. last reports he was still waiting for
! a reply.
This is a typical case of how the
Civil Service law is administered by
; tiie Republican party in the Southern
. Spates. The President made it possi
ble for any one of the three highest
candidates to" be appointed so that he
could slip-in a Republican who might
make the third highest record on the
examination, but he evidently did not
figure on such tases as have arisen in
Bedford. And since he has no law to
cover the case, he is just making one,
by leaving the Republican in as act
ing postmaster. We suppose when
i Mr. Harding quits office in 1925 this
■Republican will still be drawing the
salary at Bedford, while the eligibles
are waiting for something to be done.
HOUSING OUR OWN.
The Department of Agriculture, ac
cording to a late report, places the
value of all crops grown in 1922 at
$8,501,395,000, Os tifis, the report
shows, flfs'orth Carolina's crops were
worth $342,637,000, a greater sum than
any other Southern State' except Tex
as. North Carolina was fifth place of
ttll the States, in the Union, surpassed
only by Texas. loVva, Illinois and Cal
ifornia. In 1921 the total value of all
crops was placed at $0,410,229,000, of
which North Carolina had $252,370,-
000.
Thus it is shown that we are keep
ing the fast pace set by other States
in the matter of agriculture. And it is
right that we should do so. We talk
much about our manufacturing enter
prises in this State, but after all we
are agriculturists, and we should not
lost' sight of this fact If is to ,be
hoped tjpit 1923 will Cnaltfe us to' keep
the high place we how have, and also
that by diversification 1 ;nnd growing
bread and meat." we can keep more of
*v '
the money we receive for our crops at
home.
That will make us a far richer
State. While we are fifth in agricul
tural products, our, land value places
us far down the list Os States in farm j
values. Land in the States that rais
ed greater and more valuable crops in
1922 is worth many times the land in
this State, showing that while we have
made a great record in the past year,
we are not doing all we can do.
Eaih year North Carolina is import
ing many things that could be raised
here, and thus we are sending out of
the State much money that we* should
keep here. We should strive in 1923 to
raise more of the things that i\e now
go to sornp other State to purchase. j

HIGH TRIBUTE TO SOLDIERS.
The American troops who had been
stationed on the Rhine since the sign
ing of the armistice in 1918, are en
route home. All of the troops with
the exception of possibly 50 enlisted
men and a few officers, sail this week
from Antwerp, and bring to -a close
America's participation in the World
War.
The American soldiers made a fine
record during the fighting. They
were not in the trenches long, but they
made their power felt while there,
and they made enviable reputations as
fighting men. And now the men who
lifTve been stationed on the Rhine
come forward with proof that thf
American soldiers are jnst / as gallant
and just as successful as mixers as
they were as warriors. When it wjis
formally announced that the Rhine
land soldiers had been ordered home
the Burgomaster of Coblenz addressed
the following communication to Gen
eral Allen and the troops under his
command:
We are sorry to see you leave. We
do not know how we can do without
you, nor what will happen to us soon.
We are sorry to see the Americans go.
leaving us so excited and at such a
dreadful time. However, we trust
matters will right themselves, and we
wish all the best things to Gen. Allen
and his troops.
We do not believe any other soldiers
ever received such a testimonial from
their former enemies. It speaks well
for General Allen, who has command
ed the troops during their entire stay
on the' Rhine, and the troops themsel
ves. The Americans went into Ger
many as but they 'did not try
to “rub it in,’’ and it did not take the
Germans long to realize that the Am
ericans felt no resentment against a
recent foe. That’s the true spirit, not
only in military matters, but in every
day life, and it has contributed more
than any other factor, we believe, to
America's greatness.
MOTHER’S AID BILL.
The members of General Assem
bly of North Carolina will have oppor
tunity to pass a Mother's Ail Bill at
the present session, and we hope they,
will .pass it. Such a law, we think, is
badly needed in North Carolina, and
under its provisions both mothers and
■ children would l»e benefitted.
The bill would provide a certain
sum of money for all mothers who
i have children and who have no means
■ of. supporting them, provided the uiotli
vj ers are fit in every way except a finan
;’cial one, to rear the children. The
? bill means that with a little financial
t assistance the mothers and children
r can be kept together, and. while our
are among our greatest in
? stitutions, it cannot lkV argued that,
r they can care for the children as cum
i the lloving mother. As The North Car
- olina Christian Advocate puts it, “the
t sheltering care of a mother's love is a
; hundred fold,better for the child than
t any institution that can be provided,
? and this is no attempt to discount the
1 1 orphanages. The orphanages are not
i able to care for one-half of the needy
) 1 children in North Carolina, ynd the
, j bill would supplement* the work of our
- J orphanages in an economical manner
i and at the same time preserve the nat
s ural method of keeping mother and
' * child together.”
5 j The law, we believe, has been writ
. ten to cover* every important point,
and we hope it will be passed immedi
ately. The county be the center
| unit of the plan, under the law, and
■*;only those mothers who are known to
- be capable of rearing children, and
who have no way to earn money, will
:j be aided. The State will furnish half
“ of the money to be given them, to be
i | sure, but it will be given only after
| persons living in the county with the
woman has made recommendation.
By all means let’s have the Mother's
Aid Bill.
LATE STARTING.
The Journal of Commerce, noting
the shortage of calcium arsenate,
which is needed to tight the boll wee
jvil, says it is a case where the De
partments of Agriculture;* and Interior
are “frantically locking the stable af
ter the horse has been stolen.” That
about sums up the situation. The De
partments are now trying to get the
arsenate and they are finding )( short
age. Why? Because they did not
start theiik campaign soon enough. The
boil weevil is nothing new. It has just
reached North Carolina to be sure, bus
it has ravaged other. Southern States
for years, and the two Departments
mentioned above should have start
ed several years ago their campaign to
i secure the arsenate needed each year.

November Traffic Broke All Records. ;
Railroad Data.
Freight traffic in November on the
railroads of the country was The
heaviest for that month in history, ac
cording to reports just received by the
Bureau of Railroad Economics.
Measured in net ton milSfe—which
is the number of tons of freight multi
plied by the distance carried —the
railroads transported in November,
38,046,185 net ton miles. This was an
increase of slightly more than 30 per
cent over the same month in 1921,
and an increase of 2 per cent over the
taA month of 1920.
Railroads in the Eastern district re
ported 17,320,838,000 net ton miles in
November, which wire an increases of
4,073,948,000 compared with Novem
ber, 1921, and an increase of 246,908,-
000 net -ton miles compared with No
vember, 1920.
For the Southern district, 6.971,042,-
001) net ton miles were reported for
last which was an increase
of 1,382,676,000 over November, 1921, ,
and an increase of 216,488,000, com
pared with the same month in J 920.
Freight traffic in the Western dis
trict totaled 13,754,305 which exceed
ed November, 1921, by 3,367,849,000,
and November, 1920. by 297,031,000
For the first eleven months in 1922
freight traffic amounted to 339,338,-
283,0000' net ton miles, which was
increase over the corresponding
period in 1921 of 6.4 per cent, but U
decrease under 1920 of 18 per i.ent.
This decrease, compared with 1920,
as almost entirely due to a falling off
in coal shipments because of the five
months’ miners’ strike.
Meeting of Merchants Association.
A very enthusiastic meeting of the
Merchants Association was held at
their rooms in the Dixie building on
Monday night. The meeting was call
ed to order by the president, Mr. A. H.
Jarrett. A letter was read from our
state secretary Mr. J. Paul Leonard,
stating that Thursday, January 25th,
would be merchants’ day in Raleigh,
and asked that a large delegation at
tend from Concord, The president
called for volunteers to go as dele
gates and the following persons re
sponded: J. F. Day vault. Leslie Bell.
J. E. Davis. O. A. Swaringen, U. M.
Ivey and A. H. Jarrett. Those pres
en thought eight or ten ought to go
and the secretary was instructed to
canvass among the merchants today
and see if others could attend.
At the request of the Kiwanls Club
a committee was appointed from the
Merchants Association to meet with
them and the Rotarians to try to se
cure better hotel facilities for Concord.
The following were appointed on that
(committee: J. F. Day vault, C. M. Ivey

THE CONCORD TIMES
COUNTY AGENT’S METHOD
OF KILLING WEEVIL
Some of His Methods Are: Plant Few
er Acres, Not More Than Five to
# Seven to the' Plow.
Monroe, Jan. 22.—Taking the best
: features of plans successfully used in
Georgia and South Carolina, T. J. W.
Broom, Union county demonstration
agent, has prepared a'siinple, but ef
fective, method of boll weevil control
for cotton planters of North Carolina,
who are now engaged in their first tus
| sle with the. cotton pest. *
Mr. Broom tried out his plan in this
county last year ahd the results that
he obtained prompts him to pass it
along to other farmers with his re
commendation.
Briefly stated his “compilation” of
the best methods, is : -
1. Plant fewer acres, not more, than
five to seven to the plow.
2. Prepare the seed l>ed early. This
is important so that the land may be
well -settled by planting time.
3. Plant early fruiting varities, va
rieties which while setting fruit yearly
will continue to set fruiF throughout
the season. Wanamaker, Cleveland.
Mexican Big 8011, and Lightningh Ex
press are recommended for this sec
tion.
4. Plant early, but nqt too early. I
believe that the best date to plant on
most soils in this~secttion is April 25
to May 1. The lighter soils can be
planted earlier. However, I believe,
farmers in a community should plant
as near the same date as possible.
Planty plenty of seed in order to get a
stand.
5. Fertilize liberally. Liberal fee-,
tilizntion is necessary in order to gel
the plant off to an early start. Get
fertilizer in the ground two weeks be
fort planting if possible.
6. Cultivate intensively. The crop
should he cultivated every week.
7. Kill the weevils when they first
emerge from winter quarters. Up to 1
this point we have, been following good
cultural methods, that will in
sure good crops had we no weevils to
contend with. But now the real light
begins. It is at this point that wt*-
havo to put on our lighting garb and
go into actiton to prevent ourselves
from being robbed of at least half or
more of our ususal corp. Large farm
ers will equip themselves with dusting
machinery and calcium arsenate and
dust according to improved methods,
but not one. per cent, of our farmers
will do this now. To them I would
suggest that they equip themselves with
at least two or three and one-lialf
pounds of carcium arsenate for each
acre of .cotton t hey plant I four or live
pffluids would be better in case two
dustings are required)! and just before
the first squares are formed, or just as
they are forming, put the poison in a
perforated tin can, cover with a cheese
cloth, and dust about two pounds per
acre over the cotton plants. This will
poison flie emergence weevils. If
this is followed by picking the, first
squares pretty effective control wiy be
obtained until tiie migration period,
ana a fair crop oT cotton will be se
cured. This method is said to be
more effective, than ]x>ison molasses,
and cheaper. The poison gets, into so
iutiton with dew which forms on the
cotton at night and the weevils get
the poison through drinking the dew.
Two applications of the poison can
he put on by this method at a-cost of
80 cents to one dollar per acre. I
would suggest that self-appointed lead
ers call meetings at tlieir respective
school houses to discuss this plan, or
ganize for weevil control and arrange
to get poison at once.
8. Gather infested squares and de :
stroy them. This method .combined
with poison as outlined above can be
employed by every farmer, and at a
profit.
9. Poison with calcium arsenate
This applies to those who are going
to use dusting machinery in the ap
plication of the poison. Unless wee
vils become very numerous this meth
od is not employed until at least 10
per cent, of the squares are punctured,
and at intervals of every four days un
titl three applications are made. Later
if the weevils become still more num
erous other applications are made.
10. Destroy the’ weevils’ food, gather
cotton early and then plow up - the
green stalks. This is important as it
drives the weevil to.bed hungry, and
there is less likelihood of its survivng
the wiutej*.
Many weevils can be destroyed this
winter by cleaning the ditch banks,
terraces, hedges, etc., and burning.
Trash, logs and stumps around the edge
of the fields should be burned. Do
not burn the woods, as .few weevils
will be destroyed in this way and much
damage done to the timber.
Encouragement to the farmer in liis
fight is given by Mr. Broom. “It is
our brain and brawn,” he says, “against
a- boll weevifs bill. The boll weevil
is going to use liis bill to our undoing,
unless prevented by brain and brawn.
Cotton growing by the easy go-lucky
method iS a thing of the past. Those
who fight will grow cotton successfully.
It is up to us to fight and win, or sur
render and quit. The potato growers'
have the I "potato beetles. They are
fighting and winning. The fruit grow
ers have the San Jose scale. They
have not given up, but on the other
hand are growing more and finer fruit
than ever. The tobacco growers have
insects and worms to contend with,
hut they* tight and win. The cotton
plant has, long been free from insect
troubles, but the time luis now ar
rived where we will have to tight if
we are going to be successful cotton
growers. Cotton is now being grown
successfully under boll weevil condi
tions. If others are succeeding we
can too.”

young bride has to , -
GIVE UP HER DIAMOND
/
Also Loses Automobile She Thought
Was Hers After She Had Married
a Soldier.
New Bern, - Jan. 21.—T0 have the.
jeweler demand the surrender of his
bride’s diamond ring and the garage
man refuse to deliver liis new car,
and then a banker decline to advance
two or three hundred dollars on a
$1,200 draft that he might protect his
creditors would be enough to fmnerve
the average man. Sergeant W. D.
Lawrence stood it all
Sergeant Lawrence came to New
Bern with a detachment of spldiers
stmt over from Fort Bragg in charge
of government property which was
loaned the Red Cross in its fire relief
work. He was here only a few days
before he had met and fell in love
with a local girl Who had been,at work
in the emergency hospital. If nothing
else had happened in his life, events
began to crowd him after that.
Within ten days the soldier was en
gaged to the girl and on Sunday be
fore Christmas they were married. He
bought the band from the jeweler who
was later to embarrass him; the li
cense from tli«< register of deeds, and
Rev. J. A. Vaclie, Presbyterian minis
ter. married them in a town near here.
A few days after the marriage
Lawrence began to look about for a
bridal present, and for it be selected
a well known automobile sold by the
Fowler Company. As initial payment
he tendered S. H. Fowler-a check for
SI,OOO and told him to rush delivery
of the machine. While he had a car
load of ears in shipment then, Mr.
Fowler, to he courteous to his custo*
mer, dispatched a member of the sales
force to Charlotte to get the machine.
In* the meantime. Sergeant Lawrence
called on his jeweler again and taking
along his bride they selected a small
diamond priced at SBS. The soldier
wrote out a check for tha t a mound and
handed it over to Albert Hibbard, a
member of tin* firm. But be wasn't
taking strangers’ checks on tjjat day,
Ipj said.
{•“Call up Mr. Fowler,” said Law
rence. “I think lie will identify me.”
So Mr. Hibbard called up the auto
mobile man. The latter replied that
the soldier hail bought a car from him
and had made a substantial deposit
on it. That was enough and the
jeweler delivered the ring.
Everything went well for a few days,
then trouble started.
One morning Mr. Hibbard opened a
letter from an Oklahoma city and
pulled out Lawrence's check. It bore
that fated legend, “no such account.”
and lu> set out to find the man who
had given it. He finally located him
(luring the afternoon. Lawrence and
his wife were at the garage waiting
for their car which had just arrived
and at the very moment was being
washed.
Tin* Soldier was called aside and
shown flit' cheek. He. said there must
have been a mistake, mid w r ent on to
assure the jeweler that he would take
it up by 0 o’lock.
“Never mind that,” said Hibbard,
“you can take it up now with the cash
or with the ring: I'm not particular
>
“it will lie. very embarrassing for
me to taken the ring from my wife,”
Lawrence answered, “and I don’t have
the money in my pocket.”
But Ilihbard got the ring. The
soldier stepped across the street wlie.re
his wife was admiring the*new ma
chine, and "borrowed” it for the jew
eler who wanted to send it in as a
sample for another ring, he told hey.
Bad news travels fast. And so. a
few' minutes later Mr, Fowler advised
Soldier Lawrence that he had decided
to hold the car until he heard some
thing from his cheek. More embar
rassment for the sergeant. But he
was not inclined to let it bother him.
He had to “straighten out his busi
ness,” and a banker was next in line,'
Oscar Lane, president of the New
Bern Banking and Trust Company, |
was called on by the soldier. He pre j
sented a draft for $1,200 and when Mr.
Lane- si greed to send it in for collet
fiton asked for an advance of two or
three hundred dollars to tide him over
until the collection was made. The
hank president declined to do this. He
stitll lias the paper. as it was -.returned
from Oklahoma: “No such account.”
Lawrence is still in New* Bern with
his bride whose family lives here. But
he is not in charge ofv government
property. A few days after the check
episodes j»e was called hack to Fort
Bragg, but begged to be returned, and
finally was—as recruiting officer. No
body has offered to prosecute him, be
cause nobody lost anything by his
check-writing. Hibbard has the ring:
Fowler, the ear. and Lane a piece of
paper that cost him nothing.
