SATURDAY. JULY ax, xgx;;
MR. ARCHER IS
THE' MAN HERE
The Jist of -teachers suggested by Superin
tendent Frederick Archer, printed in this paper
yesterday, was a list of strong names, and,
glory be! without wrangle, without any at
tempt to discuss things, the City Commis
sioners elected all the teachers suggested by
the Superintendent. This indicates that fric
tion in the city schools has already ceased, and
the new Superintendent is to have opportunity
to build belter our school system. The Com
missioners wisely conceded the claim that
teachers mutt be paid at least living salaries,
and that means that We must increase by spe
cial tax our school , fdnd. Something like fif
teen thousand dollars a year will be needed,
and under the law this can be obtained by an
increase of something like ten cents on the dol
lar. Every citizen of Greensboro will doubt
less vote for this special tax, because every
citizen cf Greensboro is vitally interested in
education.
Superintendent Archer understands that
there has been friction in the schools; he un
derstands that no one in particular was to
blame; he knows that to eliminate this fri.tion
many changes were necessary, and he set
about to choose educators free of the local en
tanglements. And the Commissioners by their
vote showed they were with him. And all of
this look good. .
Mr. Archer comes to sustain a reputation as
an educator that he has made through the
years. He comes to build a school system and
not to exploit himself. He comes with a rcc
ord'as a worker and as a man broad and liberal
in his views, and the only axe he has to grind
is the success of the schools. We hope that
every citizen will get behind him and help him.
We hope that parents will not undertake to
run the achooU, and that the children! will be
loval and 'love tbrtr teachers.?: In an'educ- '
tkmal way things in Greensboro look brighter
than in a long time.
o
Who Would Introduce It?
The Ashevillc Times, in looking over the
wanton waste in Congress, has this to suggest:
When the revenue bill, the war revenue
bill, was up for discussion some enter
prising congressman should have offered
an amendment taxing congressmen who
waste the time of their constituents in
playing politics.
But where would you find a congressman
who could consistently introduce such an
amendment? It looks like the whole bunch is
a collective politician, always playing the
game. The time for politics is not now, but
all the politicians keep on playing it.. In the
different bills propoied and urged by Presi
dent Wilson there ar always a dozen or so
statesmen funny why we call 'em statesmen
getting up to object. If it isn't Senator La
Follette it is some other cheap skate panting
for notoriety. The Wilmington Star says it
plainly in the folfowing paragraph, and it ap
plies as well to the other pro-German howlers
you meet with now and then. It says:
This country is at war. Those people
who want it fought out to the best advan
tage of their countrv should get behind
President Wilton. Certainly no sensible
man in America can expect the war to be
carried on by those who are opposed to
everything that will enable us to win. If
thi war is to be won. President Wilson
will have to win it with the solid support
cf Americans. If we want to win, it is
time to get at it.
Richt now every man who wants to live
under the flag has a sacred duty to perform.
It is not a time for self-opinionated smart
Alecks' to make suggestions as to how to run
the country or the war. The President is
shouldering the burden and all of us should
help, regardless oS personal sacrifice. The
war i on on far greater than many people
realize.
- o
Police court indicates thit the bone-dry law
hain't made any material difference. In fact,
fhe local moonshiner is doubtless doing a big
ger business. Human nature is one of the
strange things, and if it wants a drink some
how or other it generally catches on.

.Superintendent Archer hasn't completed his -

ple never ociore rmxca in - tne . city scnooi

immediate friends of some teachers, bur it
will give a more satisfactory school system.
Just how far he is going in the way of elimina-.
tion of the old teachers we do not know, but
the first batch announced locked like a cleat
a weep. ,
OJT UU,A7 THB KXKI 1TAVDS AXD Olf TRACTS
ALL MUST TOTE
BUNDLES NOW
Recently the National Council of Defense
sent a request to all merchants urging them to
attempt 'to ask their customers to carry their
small bundles and stop the overworked cus
tom of asking to have goods sent on approval
and callinr for return of packaires. It was
pointed out by the Council of Defense that in
this way men could be conserved for other
purposes and that as a war measure every citi
zen should help.
The delivery custom has grown to be al
most intolerable. .Men and women think it
all right to ask for the delivery of a package.
weighing a few ounces; housewives think it
froper to phone four or five times a day, for a
ew little things, making four or five deliveries
necessary.
The idea of the Council of Defense is that
there should be less deliveries' for the big pack
ages, and that each loyal citizen will tote his
own package unless it is too large. Wc have
wondered how Germany has withstood the
onslaughts of the allied nations; and the an
swer has always been that "system" cTused it.
In all departments, in the home and store and
in the field system, perfect system, "has made
Germany, as ve all know, almost invincible.
That nation knows no waste. This nation is
celebrated for what President "Vilson has call
ed "wanton waste" in a hilf hundred ways.
The delivery system is one of the ways in
which we waste, wantonly, and of course un
necessarily, not only the time of men who
could be otherwise employed in assisting in
conservation, but the system we have wastes
gasoline, wastes tires, wastes time and energy.
The merchants of Greensboro, of course,
must deliver goods if their customers demand
it. To refuse would be to lose a customer.
Therefore the merchants are calling on their
customers to heed the appeal sent out from
Washington by the National Council of De
fense, and carry, when they" can, their own
packages, and thus save something to the gov
ernment. When we are at war the. time of
every man belongs to. the government in a
certain, sense. -As war.'meaiures many things
are adopted 'that would be offensive, -perhaps,
t ... m .. .
in times 01 peace, ana every citizen wnen caned
to do his duty is expected to respond.
The delivery system, as now in vogue in this
country increases the cost of goods. To stop
the expense of delivery or to even minimize
it would be to reduce the overhead expenses of
the merchant, and when overhead is less goods
always sell cheaper. Therefore it is not only
to assist the Government in what it wants, but
it is also to assist yourself that the aDoeal is
made.
Let ever' man and woman in Greensboro
help in this matter. When the bundle is light,
carry it yourself. When possible, send for the
package and do not put the merchant to the
expense of making a separate trip to deliver a
box of candy or a box of collars. Get into
your mind the absurdity of the proposition and
help do some of the chores yourself.
And, above all " things, when you go to a
store and want a few yards of goods or a pair
of shoes, have the business about you to
choose then and there what you want. It has
grown to be the custom to send out goods on
approval. To call in the neighbors and hold a
meeting and finally decide that you guess you
want nothing sent, and then phone for the
merchant to send out for them and you'll be
in'again tomorrow to have the rest of his stock
sent out.
The merchant doesn't like to do this, but he
understands that he must do it if the request
is made, and in this way time, money and en
ergy go up in smoke.
This appeal made to our people should be
heeded. It is an economic measure in which
all our people have an interest. Try. to think
it over favorably, and the next time you buy
a small package tell the merchant to wrap' it
up right now, and tote it yourself. And try
to think, if you are telephoning an order, to J
get all you need. It is easy to do this. Make t
one oracr sumce ior me oay, and tnus save
Hhe expense of useless and needless second and
third deliveries. This appeal is made to every
citizen who buys goods. '
. . o
Charlotte's Sublime Thirst.
According to the dispatches Charlotte, the
Queen City of the South, has lost her thirst
for likker, and all "enduring of" the m-mth of
July up to this date but seventy-two packages
hae C(
come through the express office, these -of
course being for medicinal purposes. This
might, to the grim mathematician, look" like
something had happened, but. wc. note that
in most towns, and we takeTt that Charlotte
is not an exception, the moonshine still is play
ing a grand part. Corn whiskey is being made
in many brush heaps, automobiles dispensing
he newly made beverage are seen in "many
places, and the price is lower than the express
whiskey which used to come in Sacred Quarts.
It may be that Charlotte has -really quenched
its thirst: that it proposes to ride the water
wagon, iiut otner towns which make a good
showing at the express office are not maintain
ing it "on the streets and at police court. The
hope is that the bone-dry law is solving the
world-wide question that John Barleycorn
cas hnally Deen cornered but we fear the
moonshine still is jtvst gettincr started to reap
a harvest of coin and death.
ESTABLISHED MAY, 1902.
GIVES HOPE TO
THE OLD
The men who deal in figures are giving the .
gray beard a little hope that is, they are tell
ing the man who reaches sixty-five years that '
he possibly may live eleven years longer. Andv
if he gets to seventy-one he still has hope, and ;
so on up to ninety. Inthe current number of y
Commerce and Finance we find this article by ;?
Richard Spillane: HA
If you live to be sixty-five you may rea-v. f
. sonably expect to live 11.6 years longer. .
That is the statement of Louis Ii Dublin, ,
statistician of the Metropolitan Life In- K
surance Company, in an article in thePubr 5
lie Ledger. This,, he points out is an ;
average and applies to no particular incH--vidual.
At seventy the expectation is de- - v
creased to 9.1 years; at eighty it is 5 1-4
years; at ninety only three years. In all
stages . of , existence the expectations are
greater for females than for males. Af ':':AU
He tells of the ills of those of sixty-five .
not due so much to infection or external
agencies as with breakdown of the inter-)'
nal organism, and he says it is estimated;'
1,250,000 persons in the "Dinted States ,
ONES
who have reached the age of sixty-five are -v.
in want or are supported by charity, public
or private. In Massachusetts in 1915 it
was found that 35,000 persons out of a . . . ' -total
of 190,000 who were sixty-five or - V; :
over were recipients of public or private .
charity, and this did not include a very, . ,.;;
large number who received assistance or ' ;
maintenance from relatives or other un-
registered sources. - j & I
-These charity figures are a fearful in-'.
dictment of our improvidence. To be old,, -f-"
and dependent must be fearful if one has; '. V
pride. Old age should be serene. It ,: : ; (
should be the mellowvperiod of life. Out' -of
the ripeness of experience, of wisdom,' . .
we should find new joys. ' . '.
' But no man is old. whose mihd'is bright f v i '

Canning The Kaiser.' - r v.'yp
The new song entitled "Can the Kaiser,"
sung to the tune of Dixie, seems to be puzzling"?
London, and the best story about it that wt
have seen is jtold by Richard Spillane. He .;;;
says: ; ; -t':-A
When a boastful American told of the A'
immensity of the American peach crop aridf ;
a'BritisHer inquired how in the world the - 5
people managed to consume such a quan-' V
tity of the fruit before it spoiled the Yan
kee is reported to have given the classic ?
reply: "We eat all we can, and can what . :
. we can't' And the Britisher, in repeating- ..
the story, which he first assured his hear- kA:::
ers was over and over again extraordi-r ;
narily clever, said the Americans, after.
eating an amazing amount of the crop of J
peaches, put the remainder in tin's, you ? .
know. . ;
From London comes the announcement ; ? -that
the Americans are singing a very. V .
catchy song to a really stirring tune, and . - -,?
the title of the. song is mpst puzzling, but - f 5
it must be apt or those amusing and origi- .'f
nal Americans wouldn't employ it, you
"know. The title is "Can the Kaiser," and . '
the air to which it is sung; is "Dixie.''
Here are the words :
. - r -, :
' In khaki tuit and army rigor, ''-".'
, AH- aboard to can tbe Kaiser ' ."" ' x :'- .1
Look away! Look away! Look away I Germany. '
In Kaiserfand be reigns alone: - - ; ' -..'

Look away! .Look away! ' Look away! "Ger,many.

Until I can the Kaiser. .... y :
t Let's go, let's go, let's gro and can the Kaiser, -
Let's go, let's go, jet's go and can the Kaiser. - . . -." -.
. Staid London is giving. serious thought -'to
this song. "Can the Kaiser" is alliter
ative and decidedly , catchy, it knows, but
-what does it mean? The Express informs;
tithe puzzled people that the Kaiser is to be
pealed hermetically in a tin container so '
'he may do no more mischief. " - ' r

. A Year. Ago. v .. ; ...
A year ago this month and the whole west- '
ern part of this state was laid in waste. Rain,
storms and wind storms spread complete deso-
lation throughout that section. . Bridges and I
homes were washed away. Many people were ?
drowned. Damage to the amount of millions'
of dollars was done. . And , up to ; this time '.
there has been no investigation of the cause. :
Looks like our officials have been direlict in
their4 duty. This thing of washing out miles of
railway track and stopping traffic and having
no investigation is amazing, bomething'
should yet be done. -
