Tne com;nuntty has about nvc per cenL of live wirc men who are always willing to do thine to help the town. Une man In this city told us yesterday that he bad been on the go tincc et;ht o'clock in the morn ing. It was five o'clock in the evening when he told ut tbif, and he had another meeting to attend. He had given a whole day, a day of hard wcrk. too, acting as a member of differ ent committees, and he didn't get a cent for hi time: he neglected his own business and wc wonder if he will even be thanked for what he did. But take these live men out; these patriotic men; these men who help build the tovi by giving unselfithly their time and tal ents, and wc wouldn't have any town. Call a meeting for some public purpose and you can almott tell who will be there. You can almost tell in advance who is. going to put up the money. You can almost tell in advance who will go out to solicit funds; who will -take the matter in hand and push it to a successful ter mination. We know these men and we love I hem but the rest of us do not do enough. livery man should not only be willing to do hit part in community building, but he should be on hand and volunteer. He should rot wait for conscription. But in this town and in all towns a mere handful of the citizens take the initiative, go to it as a labor of love, and do things. Did you ever think of this, and did you ever figure on how few men really carry A the burden? In all this other hubbub we haven't a word about that Coler road for three months, and the Coler road is what we need. It would cost more money to get it now that it would have cost six months ago, but even at that we need the road and can aiTord to pay for it. o Man Hunting. . It appear that hundreds of young men are frightened about going to war and they have gone to the border and are escaping into Cuba and Mexico and whrrever there is a land ing ou;Me the LVifeitatr; TW if dimply m " m t .. rTli tail 1 - !- and brought back, and then what a sorry rec ord to carry through the wor'd. The young man who listens to the ill advice of foolish friends and trie to escape the citizen's duty; who rushes to the border to make his escape to foreign lands; who swear to a lie in order to escape conscription that young roan will be branded for life branded with a mark as indelible a the erne that Cain carries to this day. . The country call the flag is in peril and the man who deliberately plans to avoid hi duty as a citizen placet voluntarily upon his brow a brand of infamy that' will remain as long at hit life endures. Iru )l his walks through1 life he will be pointedc ut as the shirk er and coward ; he will die a moral death, and he had better, ten time better, go to war and be killed at once." The government is jut now on a man hunt and is rounding up many of thote seeking to get to foreign shores. "p Doing Nicely. , All will be glad to know that Senator Till man, who went to Atlanta to have a slight .op eration performed in a hospital in that city, is getting along in fine shape, and his doctor says he will be able to return to Washington with in a week. The grand old man of South Caro lina hat n t made very much noise the past few years. From a radical, a man who could outdo even La Folk tie, Tillman gradually ripened and became conservative, a useful and pow erful senator. Strange how men will change. tear ago and the "cornfield lawyer" with his . . . iti j pttcniorjc wz ratting an mnaj oi vatn ana hi own state was ready to repudiate him a dozen times. Then only the rabble saved him today it it reverted." o Thc'old slogan to "Buy a Bale" meant tht you parted with your money and took the risk cf telling your cotton. The slogan to "Buy a liberty Bond" meant that you get the best se curity in the world; you receive interest; you pay no taxes and you htlp your country, which right now needs your help. A patriotic duty. Buy a bond today. , o Better Be Cartful The Attorney General has laid down the law concerning registration. No one will be allowed to throw a monkey wrench in the. wwk. The law is plain and Uncle Sam has said hc will enforce it. The duty of every man is to enlist if eligible, and the person at tempting to interfere with the performance of that duty will live to regret his folly. - j Columbus, Ohio, was a queer place from which to start a nation-wide movement. High street has been the scene of many doings, es pecially in the old Ncal house, but Columbus irenerally i decent. Now rud it been frcm Sin tin rati well, that would have been ex pect ed. ox ujje at m xx wl nucDi d ox Tunc NO FOOLISHNESS r WITH UNGLE SAM If there is a nation-wide conspiracy on, as is c'aimed, to defeat the cor.scrintion law, Uncle Sa.n should get busy and buld a gallows in c ry city wh rc the black "hand and the red flic arp raited." There should be speedy and swift punish-. ment for these slackers, these man wno are thus aiding and abetting hc enemy. Some of the timid ones fear that there will be a revolution in this country; that because of trje great feeling for peace and the great opposition to war, the American people will, in large numbers, rebel against going across the sea to fight, and that under our own flag we will have an intern aj war. But that is all moonshine on a shovel. In the old days at the North, the days when the Union was trembling in the balance, the days like these days when the stars and stripes were floating for freedom, there were men they call ed copperheads. In all times and all ages par triotism has had to witness what we in this day call the slacker, but it has been observed that nine-tenths of Americans are Americans, and they are loyal to the center's core. If Uncle Sam proves to his satisfaction that men have started an anti-draft propaganda, if they have rebelled and are in rebellion, the thing for' him to do is to hang up all caught red-handed, hang - them higher than Haman hung his bacon, and let all understand that, this is a Nation with a big N, and that it pro poses to fight the Germans under the folds of Old Glory. The slacker is a coward ; all that is needed to subdue him is to let him under stand that the penalty for treason is not only .death, but sudden death. That there is a con spiracy on there' seems no doubt, but there need be no doubt that Uncdle Sam will handle it. Mr. Works Talks Loud. Senator Works of California,' who retired last session and isn't any more in the limelight, writes that he is opposed to war and insists that wc had no business, to go into it, and boldly says we dishonored ourselves when we went in without adequate causer-' Just- what Mr. Work would deem adequate cause for war is -hard to understand, but it does seem that when wc fully ascertained that Germany was taking the seas; that she was undertaking to control the whole world; that when she murdered American citizens because they dared ride on the waters of the earth, it was time to declare war. In fact, had we declared war a year earlier than we did we would to day be better ofT. The aged senator can't get over the fact that he left the Senate under a cloud, so far as his patriotism was concerned, and he keeps shooting off his mouth. But the shots do not harm. He is simply a garrul ous old man talking against the wind. . , o And after this registration business we must hurry up and take that Fourth of July celebra tion in hand and do a stunt worth while. o If It Would Quit. The Nation is a bit restless like a charger with the steel bit in his mouth and the rider not yet Quite ready to go. If Congress would stop its tool business, get down to brass tacks, pass its revenue laws and let the people know right off the reel what was what, there wouia be no unrest. All of us would accept the in evitable and the pangs of pain would cease. As it is, every day we read about a tax here or a tax there, and then the next day the bogie man disappears and another tax m another direction is proposed. Just now the tariff tax .proposed was taken off and two hundred mil lions that wc might have secured must be looked for elsewhere. " This morning it is an nounced that sugar and coffee arid cocao must pay additional freight, and perhaps tomorrow the committee will be induced to change this. A week ago and jewelry was to pay a tax, and then, presto, it was agreed to take that off. It was pointed out that people who wore breastpins and watch charms and sleeve but tons couldn't afford to pay any more, and as watch charms and breastpins are more essen tial than coffee, of course the tax was taken off and the jewelry rides free, while coffee and sugar pay for the gasoline. What wc need is a business Congress, one that will get its bills ready and pass them before springing the items on the country. A tax must be raised, and it is to be presumed that the lawmakers know where to place it. But it seems they do not. Jhcy simply spring something and then wait for information. We hold that . the lawmakers should have this in formation if they are qualified to act as law makers. What we need is less grandstand business in Congress. And some day this will all come aboutbut right now it hasn't come about and wc sadly need a reform. o Where you find .a man opposed to conscrip tion. and ready to sign up against it, if you scratch deep enough underneath the surface ou .will discover just about what nationality C IS. That City Planner didn't get here in time to help widen Bellcmeade avenue, but it will not be too late when be comes. ESTABLISHED MAY,; igca. THE O. HENRY WILL BE When Greensboro can in one day announce, ; that she is going to build a big hotel one ? costing four hundred and sixty-five thousand - : dollars and a bank buifiiing to be as fine as ;;: any in the south, the ground costing one.hun- ' ; dred and thirty-five thousand, we taTce it that ; there is something doing: in Greeftsboro. . And all that happened in one day in this r city. Yesterday was a red letter day in Greensboro. We congratulate the citizens r who form the hotel company on insisting that . : there would be no cutting of expense ; that the O. Henry would be built just like it was -originally planned, even if the increase in the , cost of material since the proiect was put un-; ; : der way hafl increased one hundred and thirtyr , BUILT five thousand dollars. We turtner congraxu- ; -: late the building committee on being able to -: let the contract for the building to a Greens- boro man. - : " -'- . 7i We also hasten to congratulate the directors -of the American Exchange Bank upon their move to build here; in Greensboro an' exdu-l;gg sive bank building, a modern home for thejr rapidly growing institution. . The figures, we ; . .. printed yesterday in connection with the news story showed the wonderful growth of this g&i ten-year-old financial institution, and . as ; : -Greensboro is growing and the bank will con-, . . -tinue to grow it became almost a necessity, to seek new quarters. In deciding to build a - V home that will last-for all time the directors. V; ' ; did a wise thing. All of Greensboro is rejoic- . : ; ing today over what happened yesterday. The . . Record last night was read with great pleas-, . ure, as it 1 carried-the two big items, which mean so much to Greensboro. , 4 ' : - ' O : : To Work The Town. A committee has been appointed to canvass : , 1 the town soliciting purchasers for Liberty ; . Bonds. . Greensboro, it is said, hasn't - come across as "she should come across, and the ;- '; committee, serving with no other purpose save; S;7V; a patriotic one, will undertake, topersonally see our . Atix&n& 'sStisss&Ji(i: If the possible purchaser -blTOXtterty-.- . Bond will understand fully that he isn't jasked i -to give up any money as a" gift or donatioh j if Vf he is made to understand that the investment is really a good one viewed from any: stand1-. . ; point; if he is convinced thatJUncle Sam wlil pay him back with interest, wfe do not see why. . ; the committee will not meet with great sac- r' cess. Of course every man cannot buy a bond. ;. J. Many men are not possessed of the coin requi- " site, but in this city and county there are idle 4 at least five hundred thousand dollars that ' ' mieht as well be loaned to Uncle Sam arid, after all, it is nothing but a loan. When thev committee approaches you, do not turn it'. down by explaining that yoi. can't afford to' " buyl It is only a question of whcthei or not ": J you can raise the money. Every, citizen can ' ' : afford it if he has the price. .This-proposition . . would not be true if you were asked to make a t , gift outright. The money you put in a Lib- . ;;( erty bond not only is returned to you, buf it bears a rate of interest which will net you as : much as money fplaced elsewhere, because v - there are no taxes on a Liberty Bond. vv.'-"i; o ' ' - Ready For Action, : :-:-;-; The Advisory Board of the City . Commis-' sioners having to do with matters concerning : the public schools has met and organized. X Now the Citizen can be heard the members' of the Board will go into some detail, arrive at some conclusions and submit a report in the . nature of a recommendation to the Commis- ' sioners. And the Commissioners will act as - they see fit, and the hope is that there will be no more confusion concerning the city schools. What we want is efficient service, and it doesn't matter who is who just so long as we v get what we. need. It is claimed by nany that Professor Hammellhas made exceptionally good as superintendent; by. others, those who-- expressed themselves as against him before- he was appointed, that he hasn't made good. But it should be upon his record that a deci sion is reached, and not upon preconceived -, dislikes.' And in this situation the Advisory Board will doubtless render valuable service., v It will ascertain facts and not be gpverned by rumors and heresay street talk. . : o : Judge Jones. ' . ' ' When Tudere Jones was running for Police . Court Judge many people thoght it wouldn't , . , do to take a. policeman off. the force and put - him on the bench. They thought that a law yer should hold down the job. But in justice . ' - J..; to Judge Jones it must be recorded that after; a month", or almost a month, on the pencn. ne has made good. The Judge takes time to,; lecture the drunkard : he doesn't seem to want - to work any unnecessary hardship on offend- ; ers. but he tells them all that in his court he will punish all; offenders, and especially does J he promise those who are-guilty of the second f offense of overspeeding .to increase the finejX to where it will not be comfortable. ... , :' - - o If the City Planner gets here .in time he, ; mieht make a diagram showing how to take; . that hitching lot out of the city without leav- ; . v ing a hole-in the ground. , , ; '" Zk '&: -i?. ... - i it:iK ; ; -L--y.fi''.-
