contention that the church thould rot bother
the divorce ne!ion; the italc thouli leave it
a'.ore. and a National law thould be made gov
erning the situation. There are perhapt rea
tont why divorcei thould be granted, but thote
reason thould be worth while. The mere fact
that tome fool man cr tome fool woman con
cludrt that a divorce it the thing thould not
constitute a reaoru There thould be a real

PENAL SYST2M-. . .
IS ALL WRONG
The reort on the condition In the peniten
tiary it said to be unprintable. It t alleged
that there have been thing happening which
were better not told. Just hw far the report
will be heeded i unknown. That the" legis
lature will do something is a matter of course,
but what can it do? So long a we run penal
institution for profit ;o long a we thmk we
can chase down unfortunate and work them
to death on half ration, just that long will
prion conditions be horrible and untpcakable.
There is no reason why prisoners cannot be
well fed, well boused, and hive around them
influences for good. Our ita . seems-rwe
speak now of a pcaple to catch a man mixed
in crime and then send him to a place where
he proceeds to go deeper into; the slough of
degTcdation. When we have- a mental crip
ple wc thould treat him. If he is vicious be
yond ordinary control, he is diseased. If he
persists in doing things unlawful, doubtless it
i not hi fault. Men measure, men by their
own ya rdsticks, forgetting that notwo natures
arc alike. Our convicts should be taken care
of in a way that will assist, in uplifting them
rather than in degrading them. V
Wc arc not surprised at the report or its
content, because since prisons have been
known the horrors of them have been related.
The old world and the new world furnish
shocking' and terrible revchtions, .

The Brighter Picture.
The North Carolina Chrirtiaj. -Advocate sees
in the great world war the dawning of -a
brighter day.- it takes the ground that ; -Let
"11s not.be dijeourafcOi., then, for.
Je-fui Hid -I CitU net 'to seiitl pracr orr
earth but a sword." , If any form of civil
iration exists today without being built
wpon the teachings of Jesus in harmony
ttith the spirit and teachings of the Ser
mon on the Mount that civilization is
just as certain to be destroyed as that it
cxiu. Thi is the reason why Jesas
said, "Think not that I am come to stnd
peace on earth: I came not to send peace,
1 but a word." Kventually, Oirisfs coming
it to bring peace on earth; incidentally, it
it to bring the sword which will strike
down and destroy every form of political,
social or religious organization which
tani in the way of the coming of His
kingdom.
To most of the world the way seems
dark today, and men's heart arc failing
them for fear; but cut of thi social and
political chao i coming a brighter day
for all the world. Even now the morning
of a new day brcaketh. ZT
To the man who believes in a just God
and most of u do what other view can wc
take of thi terrible war which har 'so long
been on? There must be in it the hand of
God because there seems no other way.
The who look back on the war between the
state can now tec that il was a necessary
vtar-that while il cost its million of treas
ure and il M-a. of blood while homes were
ruined and the flower and manhood of the
iuth sho: down yet iherc arose on those
grave of glory a grander and greater re
public than the world ha ever known. Hu
man slavery in this country became a thing of
the past and it took a most terrible scourge
to bring about what wat for the best. If the
preMrnt forms of government the present
condition stand in the way of God's King
dam, perlup. at.thc Advocate says, in what
i happening is God", hand. And vet it
ccm to us. blind as wc are, a fearful price
to pay. Ixt u.hope that no matter how

The LegUiature Up to Date.
In all candor the legislature up'to thi sad
hoar ha done nothing worth while. Pre
sumably it wa relieved of a lot of little bills,
but itt big bill have been nothing worth
while.
Why not a constitutional amendment that
the legislature meets only upon. the, call of
the governor, and why , all this expense, all

And all is war! Grim visaged war they call
it, and war, they have told us, is hell. . The
Red Cross has been advised. Of what? Of
war.. It is told let us quote, from our Sun
day, extra to make arrangements for prep
arations, of hospital garments, surgical sup
plies suggesting nurses,'" and this means that
the United States soldiers arc to be put up to
be shot down. That is what the grim strate
gists of war see surgical supplies to take care
of the wounded; hospital garments to see
that the maimed arc cared for, the dying to be
provided for with the facilities which the Red
Cross' furnish.

The chances are that ninety-nine per cent of

How Come?
Once in a while it is worth the trouble to
look ahead just a few feet, and this from the
Henderson Gold Leaf is a pippin:
If the people in a primary won't vote
against a man who has held office more'
than two years, what would there be to
cause them to vote for a constitutional
amendment to kick the same man out
after he has had it twice?
That is the milk in the lard can. . We have
been very unfortunate, or fortunate, with
constitutional amendments, dhe list four go
ing through because people didn't vote
either way. But if men can year after year
hold office and the voter makes it possible,
how can you get men to vote for the amend
ment -to put them out? And who will be in
terested jn ecingjthat the amendment is de
feated? Naturally the old-time politician
the fellow who is gray in the office holding
service; Ihc man who points with pride to the
fact that he has been for twenty years in
one office. He will go out and see that the
amendment is defeated, while the aspiring
office seeker, with that modesty always so
characteristic of such men, will fail to have
the . nerve to push the amendment's claim.
However, the Ins always arc ag'in the
Outs, and vice versa especially in the office
holding world.

They say the depot question isn't dead,' but
that pretty soon,' when all this court house
excitement is over, it will come to the front
again, and that we may reasonably look for
something to' be" done 'before summer. It
would be a fine thing to get that end going at
the same lime the hotel and court house con
struction starts. Just when the court house
work will begin is problematical. All" those
houses must be taken away; people must have
time; the old building is to be sold; but bless
you, my fellow citizen, there is much doing
in the old town.

Because of the general freeze that went from
Greenland's icy mountains to- India's coral
strand wc note that the citrus fruit crop has
been damaged to the extent of a million and a
half of dollars in Florida -This means that
the high cost of-grape fruiting it will soar
again. The grape fruit is quite an institution,
but if the price advances perhaps our physician
will inform us that it docs not agree wifh our
system." That often happens when things are
beyond our financial reach. t .
