Sept. 20 (Capital News Service). —Secretary of State Charles i E. Hughes, speaking before the Canadian I Bar Association, found that only in a ' getting back to the old .idea of complete | respect for law, could a lasting peace Jbe obtained. Air. Hughes stated that ' "to abandon the struggle toAvard peace ' was to admit the failure of civilization. I The seentiment of the people of every ; nation must be behind any concerted ef fort for avo rfil pease. All the measures I ever though of for the establishment of peace depended for their success on the will to peace of the people behind them. "The only way, therefore, and the Avay that leaders of men must folloAV to lead humanity to peace, is the cultivation j afresh of that sense, almost lost during! the great war. of respect for law for its own sake, regardless of the force behind | ; it. AV-hen the sentiment of the people j of the world favors obedience to luaa*. j then international laws may rule the 1 world in peace. Without that senti ment no artificial means would be effec tive." Professor Charles E. Alerriam. chair of Political Science of the University of Chicago, in a speech made before the ! Conference on Political Science,' held at the University of Wisconsin, said: ! "There have been thre.e great scourges in the history of mankind —pestilence. | famine, and war. The first two have i practically > disappeared among civilized > peoples by analyzing, studying, and cir- J cum veil ting them. Why is war any less susceptible to scientific study than pes | tileuce and famine? Law can banish Avar just—as increased knowledge and skill have abolished the first two. j "Political research and investigation I must be organized to the point where governmental information of all kinds is readily available to all workers in j convenient form. We need compre hensive. detailed, and scientifically ac ! curate reports on the thousands inf ex ; periments in government that are con stantly going on."

Many who subscribed in the original drive are doubling their subscriptions. They realize that with Mr. Rhyne’s backing the college is almost an absolute certainty, and they want to help make the offer from Gaston so attractive that the trustees cannot turn it down.

Cannon, president of the Ca barrus Fair Association, whose interest in promoting the fair is well known, heartily approved of the special edition of The Tribune and Times, which is to appear October 9th, saying that he was glad to read of the decision of the man agement to publish a county fair and industrial edition devoted to recording the progress made in Cabarrus eounty in the last few years. “We have spent time and money” said Mr. Cannon, “in providing a modern fair grounds at Concord, and we ought all to do our best to attract as large an at tendance as possible so that the expense of the fair will be met and a surplus pil ed up to make next year's fair a bigger and better one. If we try hard enough we can make Cabarrus county’s fair one of the very best south of the Mason and Dixon line. It all depends on our selves. We have the fertile soli and the right class of farmers and business men to accomplish almost—anything we set out to do. "I think the special edition of The Tribune and Times will be most helpful in advertising the importance of the fair, and in addition will provide an in teresting record of the substantial growth which has been made in Cabarrus coun ty. I have seen some of the special ar ticles which have been prepared for the edition, and it seems to me that The Tribune and Times management is go ing into the production of this special edition in it very thorough way.” SALISBURY SCHOOL BOY KILLED BY AUTOMOBILE Meven-Year-Old Son of G.
