HOOVER'S JOB IMPOSSIBLE There has he, en much speculation as to whether Hoovers could regulate the prices-on things people eau It appears that he is mov ing up, and pretty soon the President is to issue a proclamation that will really regulate prices, and it U laid that in effect the govern ment will reallyjcontrol the food supply from the corner grocery as well as from the wKole sale house and the manufacturer. That there' has been in these war times ter rible manipulation there is no doubt. -Take it in the metal Jratie. and within ten days cer tain metals hac fluctuated, gone from 16 1-2 cents to 14 cents' and from-14 to ti cents, and if you buy wire the market changes before your message reaches the house from which you order. , Thai is all speculation, gambling pure and simple and such things can be stop ped and should stopped. True, there will be some fluctuations, but to jump and dance around like the" market has been doing the -past thirty days is conclusive evidence that it is manipulation purc and simple The print paper situation is another exhibi tion of manipulaMpn and speculation and high way robbery J1 These things we. know about. There is no reason why a small load of wood should go up fifty percent, except that people owning woott arbitrarily say it is worth so much, and the dealec must pay it and the consumer 'must meet his price. The attempt to regulate coal prices, dealers tell us, "has failed. Some coal has been reduced and other kind raised, and after all with the coal busi ness it isn't so much the price that pinches as it i the supply. It is ?aid that Hoover proposes to put a price on all things that people eat, and that meat and potatoes and butter and milk and rice and canned goods and staple vegetables will come in for regulation- The hope is that Mr. Hoover can work out his price list and put H.in working order. lwe cajYcc :"Eow-.iY wiilcome "abotit. h-ggs. as an illustration, are selling around fifty cents. Take the Greensboro market as an illustration. If there are but a few dozen eggs brought in and people want them, the farmer is wise. He ha the eggs and he says they arc worth so much, and the grocer pays him forty-five cents a dozen and naturally must hac hi profit and he sell for fifty cents. The grocer, the man from whom you buy, isn't making anything. Suppose Hoover says eggs must sell at thirls cents. This would mean cold storage eggs, and the farmer comcs along and ay that his eggs are fresh, just laid, the cackle i still on them, and the man who has doodle bug and who takes his raw, whv, nat urally that man is willing to pay more tor the fresh, home-laid eggs, and the price is what eser the owner of the egg decides upon. In a ceneral way it may be decreed that peo- jdc cannot store eggs in cold storage: it may "be unlawful for a dealer in food products to hate more than a certain amount on hand, and if thi happen the farmer, the man who pro duce all these things, will go into something eUe. Consequently the supply and demand iheorv will again prove good. ' In thi section of the country we all know how the farmer doe with tobacco. If it hap pen that tobacco sell at a low price the farm er the nex't year doesn't raise any and the price goe up. Then the next year he goes into the busine and all of them raise tobacco and tobacco comes down. This year those who raised tobacco have been getting almost fabu lous prices for it, and next year the chances are lhal the crop will be so large that the orice will be cut perhaps a third- Then the next year the crop will be light and up it goes again. o ldore Revelations II is stated that the State Department has many new features to bring out in connection svith the German propasnda in this country, and it is said- how well authenticated we do not know that many Americans so-called are living in fear and trembling lest their names be dclosed. As time goes on it becomes apparent that the Germans had in this country the greatest organization ever known; that they had in their employ big men and little men, and that public speakers and newspapers were bought just like merchandise, and the scheme was to capture America by getting Congress to be lieve that German sentiment was so strong in thi country that'll would never do to declare war against her, the while she was planning to gel in position to actually capture this coun try. And it may happen that all these things will be disclosed, and those who took money, those who really conspired against the flac, will be held up to the scorn they deserve. The Bern storiT correspondence, the fact that he was nothing but a German spy, high up and trust ed, ha shocked the nation, but perhaps great er shocks are to come. A'vl all this accumu lative evidence only gixes the President great er strength, because it shows he acted onlv when he had.to act; that had he waited much longer all would have been .lost, 2 (AXX AT 4 XKWt TAXOS AJ0 OX TllCrf THE PICKETS ARE MILITANT The White House picketing is on again, and .some of the deluded surfragettes the kind who arc mannish and foolish and perhaps half witted are invading this state in order to force their views on the nation. The White House picketers should not be thrown in jail. Some house of detention for the simple-minded would be the proper place to put these street bawlers who have set suffrage back at least twenty years. These women" are panting for. notoriety. They can not argue' their cause, therefore they -proceed to make themselves notorious by do ing unlawful things, morally unlawful if not legally unlawful. They dream in their little, half-baked think tanks that they can coerce President Wfilson; that they can force him to do something that he isn't going to do because they parade up and down in front of the White House carrying banners which proclaim the feminine of the jackass species. The Wilmington Dispatch writes' an inter esting editorial on the subject, which we re produce as follows: "The only way to break up that White House picketing nuisance is to keep on arrest ing the guilty women and putting heavy pen alties on them. As the nuisance continues the severity of the punishment ought to increase The women who form those pickets know they are violating the law, and their conduct has become a defiance of the law. Theirs is a grandstand play, and they do not' deserve any sympathy when they are sent to prison. In fact, they most probably would be greatly dis-' appointed if the authorities took no notice ol their conduct. It is part of their game to be arrested and sent to prison so they can pose as martyrs before the country. ' Wc are glad to know that the real leaders of woman suffrage are not parties to such pro cedure and do not approve of the conduct of those women who are forcing "themselves and what they elatrnto be;,theirLtaii?eon public attention." " '"""T'". "No doubt the refusal of the leaders of the New York campaign to endorse the picket movement has strengthened their cause. "Wc arc also glad to note, as announced in yesterday's Dispatch, that the Wilmington fcqua! Suffrge League will not conduct the meeting to be held in this city tomorrow, at which Mrs. Younger will speak in behalf of the cause, because of their disapproval of the White House picketing proceedings, of which Mrs. Younger has been a prominent supporter. The North Carolina women who advocate and are working for woman suffrage know that such arc not the means to be employed to gain the votes of the men of this state -to their cause. They know that when North Carolina adopts woman suffrage it will be through a sense of justice to the women and a desire to givc them what those so voting believe to be their just rights, and that no such sentiments can be instilled into them by such condikct as that of the White House pickets. And, be' sides, .our North Carolina women would not care to use such means to acquire the deserved end. They are not that kind of women. "We believe the principle of universal suf frage will be adopted in this state before many years pass by, but it is going to be brought about by calm, dignified and womanly cam paigning on the part of the women leaders in the cause, aided by men whose high esteem for women and belief in their qualifications lead them to think that they should be given the suffrage privilege." o - The Case Of Dr. Alexander. The case of Dr Alexander, president of the Farmers Union and two or three more things, is a bit peculiar. He has been accused of being in a class with La Follette when it comes to talking sedition, and many newspapers have demanded that the Governor unhorse him. He holds some positions in the state which arc ap pointive and to which Governor Bickctt ap pointed him. But despite the many charges against him, despite the fact that the council of defense passed resolutions directed at him, but with not enough nerve to name him, the doctor still holds on and Bickctt refuses to comply with the demands calling for -his de capitation. Wc haven't kept up with the doctor. We know that the Farmers' Union is a joke and that it is simply a political mchine- worth nothing to farmers, but supposed to be worth something to politicians. But it isn't. Dr. Alexander, when the Ten Sacred amend ments were before the people to further the cause of a. few politicians, pledged the Farm ers'. Union in support of them, but it was no ticed when the proposition was pounded into the flat earth's surface that the farmers helped do the job and didn't consider the pledge made by the president. , . ' If Alexander is guilty of making speeches he should not have made he certainly should re tract or stand where he belongs. Of our own knowledge we haven't any information, but ft appears that several people think they have. Therefore an investigation by. the Department of Justice is certainly in order. ESTABLISHED MAY," xgoa; PRIVATE CAR IS Tudere Clark, always level headed and notj NECESSARY always on the main track when it comes to , -. : ; dealing with some things, .provided, ot: course,- : ; we know what the main track is, w-hich we - don't, is a little wobbly in this proposition: : -.: Speaking of conservation aod the elirni- ' , nation of waste, the Charlotte Observer,. . , remarking that three private cars of rail- : . road officials were recently seen attached ; to one Southern' railway train, suggests -, that the private car. be abolishedduring , the war period. t And why not? If the prir : . . : ; ; vate car. is not adapted to public, use, .for; r . V hauling passengers, it could be run. in the. - shed and cost of operation v saved the ; cost of fuel necessary to haul it, the wear and tear, the wages of porters and cooks. V : who could be more profitably employed elsewhere. ' . ; , - - If it be offered as an objection that the railroad officials who must 'travel would further crowd the already crowded cars if' : they had to go to day coaches and Pull- ' ;, " ; . mans along with their passengers, it may- .;. be answered that the travelings public would cheerfully submit to the little addi ' ' ; tional "scrouging" for the pleasure of see- V ing the railroad officials take what they- f. . ; have to take at times standing room. The private car is now marked the "official car," and whether the general public knows Jt ; . 0 or not the private car of the railway .official is a veritable work shop and men in them work many hours a day. Stenographers and clerks v ; travel in these cars and piles of documents' are scanned, letters written and difficult problems . - solved. It was once our misfortune, in our -; sad young life, to be an employe of a railway ;. '.r' official, arid we traveled with him in his "pri- . ' vate car." And we are here to say that the - : Avork done was harder and more, of it than any . ;;.:. desk job'we ever held on a daily newspaper... The man who imagines that the private "car 7 , . .' is simply a' car carried to haul his nibs is ;sadly mistaken. The officials must inspect tracks ; y&ii they must -do V. half htmdrer things thatith-eTfe; could not do in a day: coach or a Pullman; iySf coach, and the stenographer, or clerk) vvhoj ac- 4 .' companies an official for a week's "outing" f .; gets home about as weary: as any man wn V - ; toils. -; ';":y;".;' Colonel. A."B. Andrews rode much in his - t ; " private car, as it was' called, and Colonel An- ; " drews did more hard work on that private car r'.;";;,.' " than he ever did in his office. He was always a busy man. We have ridden in his private ; . ! car many trips in the south, and we are here to say that he had but little time for pleasure- ' - . ' Night runs and day runs, all kinds of prob- lems he was solving, and had he been forced , .. " to attempt to do the work he did in a Pullman : ;.r" car it could not have been done. To the man X standing on the side track, and looking in; at -. . '. the cook or porter of a private car the cpnclu- . ? ' sion is that a high-salaried railway official is 1 out for a larkf But the ."official" car is one ' ' y place where hard work is done, and it is as .- '.. necessary in the railroad business as the con- ; ning tower on a,battleship. And in these war ') V times, when the railroads are really perform-; ; 3 ing miracles, you will see a great many more - private cars in service because .the master ' ; minds in them are doing big things. ',; :-:4- Most Startling Revelations. The revelations' now being rer ' American people concerning the storff played while pretending to 1 ly to this government should m... ' the no longer doubt, the necessity of our helping the allies annihilate the kaiser. It is shown that Germany planned the conquest of the world' and set about it years and years ago to ac complish its end regardless of how it was ac-. complished. The representative of the Ger man government in. this country tinii but a spy a man who was all . -.e in league with murderers and cut-thu plan ning to .destroy the industries of this country, to blow up railways, to murder innocent peo ple, do anything and everything that was dev ilish. The latest revelations made public by Secretary Lansing, and not to be questioned, should make the blood of every American citi zen leap high. There is no longer any room for doubt. And when a man like La Follette says we had no right to go to war, and when he criticises the Congress and the President ; ior doing what they have done, he should not be investigated he should be hanged from the nearest lamp post-' Tnirtsds'What should hap pen to all such men who still attempt to criti-, cise this country because, to save its existence, it entered a war against a country that for years has been planning its destruction. No more need be said to explain why we are in the war. That it is a righteous -war no man can now doubt. And that ultimately the kaiser will be dethroned is certam. . , - When They Come. When this , city, acting on business princi ples, gives license to people to sell fresh meats on the suburbs, the people will be satisfied. -Scores of citizens think the Central meat ' house should be abandoned. The poor m- " should have opportunity to buy. fresh racaUt of his grocer, if he lives ten blocks from the market ami has no telephone.' ' - -I -
