WOMEN: VOTE IN MEXICO One of the states of Mexico has granted wo man the right to votc; the only string to it, be ing that the woman rsut be able to read and write before enjoying the elective franchise. To have happened in Mexico this is really sur- priting. But over all the world woman is be- in recpgnizea. tven in inc irencoe hiikus ia the has shown that he can do and does a soldier' duty. England came in and gave wo man what rights he wanted, and the United State is rapidly bestowing the privilege of voting. The ofdvtime fellows with moss on their back still oppose. and strut around fail ing to agree that woman i morally their supe rior and intellectually. their equal; but the old time fellow with moss on their backs and cobweb ,in their whiaker are growing weak er, while the suffrage question grows stronger every day. N'ot long and over all the 'world woman will he recognized and given her -right. In fact, the world needs her in its councils where she has come, and it will need her in its legislative halls. Woman has proten, even in the United States since this war is on, that she has more of. the initiative than man, and she has done more than men to aid in the war's prosecution. Go look in on any Red Cross organization and see who is at work. Co anywhere and see who has done the initial work. True, man ha come alon and ttood for an assessment in his taxes, but money is impotent unless behind it is energy and brains, The women of the world consti tute the great moral force, and a world without a moral force cannot endure. v o - The rifle club is still receiving guns and fretty soon it willbc out shooting squirrels be ore breakfast. The rifle club will serve a dou ble purpose it will teach some of the members how to shoot, and it will reduce the high cost of meat if the squirrel season remains open long enough. . o, . . ,.

Any such who have lingering aspirations for work have abundant opportunity. The rest arc hopeJcss. Another class of idlers, of little more use to the country, are the sons of wealth that abound in fathionablc clubs. The state of Man-land ha ifow a compulsory work law and is getting after such fellows. Xfany of them to comply with the law have taken soft, jobs like bond salesmen, but it is not reported that the bond market has been much stirred by their advent. -f-t. : -t t t m ui men looms up large in tne so ciety papers, but its numerical sue may not correspond with the prominence it gets. The great majority of rich men like to keep in the money making game. If they ha vc a million, they want two million, and thev keen plurrinc. .i i ? . it iney arc cnagca in a prexjucuve Dusiness, thev give useful scnice to the country. There arc always some rich men's sc sons and holder of inherited property who never vet did a stroke of bread winning work. They contracted easy going ways during luxurious college courses. After graduation their fathers found them more bother in their offices than they were worth. They drift around from summer resorts to winter reports, cultivating narmicss ials, ana return nothing to the world for bounties received.

Strange that wc always talked about it and saw it and lost our umbrella in it, and then to find out there was no such a storm. ' o The Mystery. We sec picture released from day to day of the Americans in Europe soldiers march ing !own the streets of London, soldiers in Pari and we read , telegrams from "Some where in France" telling about the arrival of American troops. Wc read of where ten thou sand sailor and soldiers have embarked some where, and the wonder is how. manv of the American soldiers are now on foreign soil. No telling. The War Department considers that it own butiness, and the newspapers have not attempted to disclose any .secrets. There is one thing certain, however hundreds of thousands will be going in a very short time, and one of these edays wc are going to get a front-page spread telling how the Amer ican troops in action caused the Germans to fly like locust. Look out for such a news item it is certain to come. Ana after being in action you .will heir -some more talks'about' peace. .The kaiser ha made bis-soldiers think that Uncle Sam wa bluffingpthat he wasn't' going to send men ; -but when-the Germans really see the "American'soldier lined-url for action. they are going to have "stage fright and conclude that the inevitable i come. . . The New York Herald is publishing secret deal between czar and kaiser, and if it'.hadn't cost more money, than wc ever saw we cer tainly would have' printed it today. But when" they ecme at us with a proposition to take all insightwell, people do cot undcrr.nd that tew crr.es h:r,h. Tint xxrra st rd avz ok TStxt FALL STYLES ARE STUNNERS Now in the show windows the Fall Styles are' being exhibited just a few changes in or der to make the person with the7 price feel that he must come across for the new design ; just enough change to make it. necessary for milady if she proposes to be diked in the lat est, to discard her gown of a fall ago and get something . up to -right now. These fickle changes of fashion arc only designed to make commerce; "to give employment "to those who work i to give sales to those who' engage in merchandising. For ourself, for instance, we are. wearing a pair of trouserloons cut from the fashion sheet of several sweet summers ago; the legs are not regulation; the, bosom isn't as flowing as Fashion today decrees it should be; the whole plan is not in accord with the latest. edicts of the fashion makers; but, withal, in'accord.with the eternal' fitness ol things, therefore we wear 'era and are happy in their possession. - ' Were it possible for Woman to "understand the power' she has and.refuse for just one sea son to allow Fashion to dictate its terms . to her, she could revolutionixe the commercial world. But,- like a horse hitched to a heavy load, she seems to fail to realize her power, so she walks ud and lays down her last dollar for something just up to the minute; and what difference does it make if the larder is empty or tne DanK account overdrawn r xonc, ir ly worthies, for to be in style is the one wild dream of womanhood. And now and hen some dude sort of a man dreams the same thing so far as he is concerned. But, generally speak- ing, i-asnion never xooiea uic majority oi mc men folk.

Under this caption the Raleigh Times makes . t -ft '. .. a "Wc had hoped that the state tarmers' con- . . . 3 vention would have shown piamiy ana con cretely that it had no truck or patience with the great. He-t-armer of .Mecklenburg, wno for so long a time has held a brief for the poor farmer of Xorth Carolina. But perhaps the state farmers convention was wise in ig noring H. Q. Alexander, his 'rich man's war' and everything cise connected therewith. The state at large knows that the farmers of the state do not feel in regard to the war as Alex ander said he felt before the word came to him that the present was no meet time for the ex pression of his confused feelings. Still it would give all classes in North Carolina no small amount of comfort to have any sort of farmers' organization take a full, free swing at the president of the State Farmers' Union. "What's to be done with Alexander, any how? Is he to remain on the state board of agriculture? Will the Farmers'. Union re elect him to the position which he has shown himself so singularly unworthy to fill? Were this the first time the Mecklenburgcr has gone chasing off after false gods there might be some crounds for a full forgiveness. It is well j enough to forgive him, as it stands; we all suf fer at times from a rush of blood to the brain. But it should be put beyond his power to put the Farmers' Union in bad for the duration of the war, and he has lost all semblance to claim for consideration at the hands of the state gov ernment, which should set about making a pri vate citizen out of him as quickly as possible. "Governcr Bickett. there's no end of can- nmg done in North Carolina this summer, but there's one job yet unfinished. Can Member Alexander of the state board of Agriculture for us I He's got it coming to him.' -o- The Scandal Again. This state has had a great time with its text books. Just now Fileigh is in a state of wild excitement. It is alleged that the text books, or some of them, were bought in anydnlawful manner; that after delivery they didn't come up to the plans and specifications, and double leaded editorials adorn the papers of the capi tal and marked articles are being sent over the state with a hurry-up blue mark around each one. : It appears that the text book business in North Carolina has always been a scandal, and this because it is suggested that graft has al- ways reared its blackened head. Just what is on in the present case we do not know, except it is freelv charred that the contract, has not Deen met; mat tne dooks .contain tnings tney - 't : .t '. should n6t contain; thatstock hr.a workman-J ship are- inferior and -well, a whole lot -of . 1 i 1 r -it 1 1 1 1 ! mings arc cnajicu. dui 11 win an oiow over, 1 tftis scandal will, as other scandals have blown . . . . t -. . over, ana tne textbook win De accepted, or some other one will be, and until the state gets out of the grafter's domain and has a business system of procuring its text books and adopts something as a standard and keeps it we will hear each time a change is suggested vaetie stories of graft and junk. Let us hope, that the day will come -when business methods are in troduced., . v '-' '- ESTABLISHED MAY, 190a. CONSTITUTION IS ON TRIAL We are just nowmany of the people, jcoiH sidering the constitution and wondering what - can be done under it. Tom Watson's maga- . ; I zine has be eii denied the usexif the mails and Tom's followers naturally talk about "free speech" and a "free press." Men have .never : ; been able to differentiate between, freedom and ! t license, and no matter what a man wants to., talk about 'he must remember that -there is somewhere a tribunal or a judge who shall sayf whether or rnot it is freedom of speech or sedi- ' tion or treason. . ; .; And so with child labor, anu so with, laws" I i taking away :a. man's iricome.

In the 'early days : the peoples of the - United States," both north: and south, saw.;FreedorrL in their .dreamsand they finally got together and wrote to King George a; screed insisting; that no longer would- his . v tyranny be stood for ; that they proposed rto , pledge their livesr their fortunes. and their. sa-; cred honor to get out of the bondage which he : ; I had imposed.

S. A., men wore i'-.' coon, skin hats, made their likker and drank it wtihout being shot to pieces by deputy mar- . shals; labor was employed by all who wanted . labor, and a man had a right to make his own 7 bargain. . In those days there was absolute 7 -. and unrestricted freedom. Nothing in God's world as an embargo, but the fact that a king l sini his soldiers over here to collect a- little money, not one-tenth as much as each indi- - vidual pays today, and Colonel Pat Henry, of Virginia, who dramatically exclaimed, "Give me likker or rive me death." and whose ex-" clamatory sentence was translated into read-f ing . imerty instead 01 iiiocer, se a wonq on fire, and we fought for what we have finally. , ' secured in the way of restriction and limita-' tion.. ! . ' And yet under the proud folds of Old Glory ; we rejoice, all of us, in being American citi zens. We rejoice that we live in the "land of 7 the free and the home of the brave" even if we V can't print what we want to print and if ; we can't make a little cbrn likker and sell it to our. neighbor, The Barbarity Of It, German airmen drop poisoned candy into towns, knowing. children will eat it.
