FRIDAY, OCT. 2(. 19l7 MR. WEBB'S WORK T!v Slu'lby Star prints a story on (In- work t'f Representative Webb in t'ne kvt session of congress and it iimki's ;i good showing. It must be admitted that after tho United tftat;s entered the war, Mr. Webb did his fail shart in supporting the gov. ei'nment. Tlr? objection to Mr. Webb is that his heart was wrong in the first place, lie did nut realize that the war in Europe was a struggle between dem ocratic countries and autocratic em, pires, One in Mr. Webb's position should have condemned the out rageous conduct of the Prussian military machine, but he apologized for it indirectly at least by placing I'nglatid on th': same plane with the Prus-ihm junkers. Our representa tive was reported to be franking ob noToits pro-Gorman doctrine to his constituents even after the declara tion of war, out this report probably was exaggerated. It was before the declaration of war. We are willing to give Mr. Webb credit, however, for the good work he has done, That he has been of rnatr.'ial assistance to the ndminis tration there is no doubt. Wrong from the start, he was man enough to turn to the right. That much should be conceded him by fairminded men, BOOSTING THE CAUSE t'i'i.. ;i rit Wilson has disappoint ed temporarily at least thousands of his supporter by urging them to ap prove equal suffrage at the polls in the several states where the cause has a small following, there will be dis-ue-t. Well, the antis shoula not worry. Equal suffrage is one of the surest things in the world. It may not he realized in North Car olina for '2" years, but the chances are that it will be here in 10. The president's words in Washington Thursday caused some 10,000 politi cal leaders in all sections of the country to studying how they could hodnv. Some of them will find the answer in a few days, weeks or moniiis; s .'ne of them will require more time. But they will be in line in the end. Woman suffrage is a safe proposition. Governor Dickett has shown a sincere interest in the welfare of the farmers of the state and his let ter to AIomuhUt will appeal to their good sense. Dr. Alexander does not represent the farmers of North Car olina and cannot represent them unt'l ho learns to think. There is not a class of men in the state who are bet ter aide to u:o their heads than the farmers, of which the Ilerr Doktor surely is not. Mr. Marion Butler rambles "some" in an article ho contributes to the Greensboro News. Incidentally his last effort should appeal to a good many people, because many folks will not know exactly what ho is fir ing at though a good many more will understand why he has been called tho "Sampson Fox." Statosville and Concord are class ing with Winston-Salem and Durham and a few other cities that pull off a few stunts occasionally, but there is nothing the matter with Hickory, Lenoir, Conovcr and some other plac. fs. They have come to the scratch Of the English, Napoleon is reput ed once to have said that he could ...L !. it ....... wrup me worm ir his armies were made up of 'em and his generals of I'rcnchmpn. And Napoleon com manded fairly good arms yes. W.e had a hunch that the Austro Gcrman drive would bo serious for the allies, but all the good news will bo welcomed heartily just the same. Barring some of Mr, Roosevelt's expressions in regard to others of our friend, wo usually agree with him. Now watch North Carolina fall over itself and not adopt Mr. Wilson's equal suffrage suggestion. The French army may not be a per fect machine, but it surely does do a good piece of work when it takes a turn. a El a We see that Charlie Reynolds and Marion Butler, warm bosom friends, hold similar political views regard ing the war. PORTRAITS OF PRESIDENTS How They Have Fared in the Hands of Tainters Boston Transcript. , , John Singer Sargent having ac tually begun work on his portrait of President Wilson, for the rational gallery of Ireland a commission for which the Dublin institution will be indebted to the late Sir Hugh Lane s generosity it is of interest to recall some of the existing portraits of for mer presidents of the United States, in the white house and elsewhere. Not all of the occupants of the pres idential chair have been fortunate enough to have for their portrait painters men of the most eminent renown and unquestionable skill, and in certain instances the choice of the artist would appear to have been de termined bv anything but the merit svstem. Nevertheless, on the whole, OUT USUai gOOU lUCWS naa uit '"" US. . Our first president was especially favored by fortune, since his counter feit presentment was confided to tht mn;t romnetent nainters and scup pers of his day, Gilbert Stuart, the Peales and Iloudons, all artists who were entirely worthy of the exalted honor. Stuart not only painted Washington's portrait repeatedly, but he was 'also the painter of Washing ton's four immediate successors in Ottioe John Adams, Thomas Jeffer son, James Madison and James Mun roe This was assuredly a piece of e-oe'd fortune for them, for Stuart and for the country. John Quincy Adams was painted by William Page, an artist of very remarkable quali ties, and by G. P. A. Healey, a com petent portraitist; while Andrew Jackson's rugged personality was perpetuated on canvass by no less a man than Thomas Sully, one of our most brilliant early painters; also by R. E. W. Earl and others not so well known to fame. After Jackson's administration there was a rather desolate interregnum in both a political and esthetic sense, with such men as Van Buren, Har rison, Tyler. Polk, Taylor, Filmore, Pierce and Buchanan at the head of the government, and a still more or dinary list of limners to hand down their somewhat uninspiring lineam ents to posterity. Just before the war of the 'GO's there were many lean years in American art; our Stuarts, Peales and Sullys were gone and our Sargents had rut yet arrived. As to Lincoln, he has been painted and modeled by many artists of all degrees of ability, some of these ar tists had the opportunity of making his likeliness from life, but most oi them, including some of the ablest cf the group, were obliged to de pend upon photographs and paints. F. B. Carpenter, Joseph Daniel Hun tington and Albion H. Bicknell are among the painters of Lincoln; Au gustus Saint-Gaudens and George Gray Barnard among the sculptors. Gen. Grant, also has been portray ed by many artists, though he was not always happily guided in his choice of the man to do the work; probably by no one was hQ so well depicted as by William Page. Of later presidents, we may men tion only the vigorous and sympa thetic interpretation of the character of Theodore Roosevelt painted by Sargent, in the white house; the ster ling likeness of Roosevelt painted by Joseph DeCamp, in the Harvard un ion; the admirable portrait , of G rover Cleveland by the late Wilton Lockwood. In the white house col lection of portraits there are all the varying degrees of merit to be found in similar official groups of paint ings, but in a general way it may be said of the presidential portrait gallery at large that its earliest and latest periods are its brightest pages, those which reveal the most satis factory example of art; whereas the i.iiddle stretch of the 19th century presents the most depressing waste of mediocrity. TESTAMENTS FOR THE SOLDIERS To the Ed iter of the Record: In your pc.p.r yesterday you pub lished a letter appealing for testa ments for the members of old Co. A. While this unit of the army has been merged into others, yet the boys are still there and we all have here a special fondness -for them. It will be long before we forget them as they drilled on our streets as a com pany, but as so many of them are our own boys their place in our hearts is one r?o other company can fill. ;At the service held for them at the Presbyterian church a promise was made that we would give them testa ments. Efforts have been made to find out just how many would be needed. Other churches beside the Lutheran had given their own-boys bibles and testaments, but a large number have not been so fortunate, Capt. Huffman says,' 150. Some funds have been contributed for this purpose but not enough to. buy 150 at 40 cents each. This is a united affair and all may have an opportu nity to give the soldiers what they will prize more than anything else. Why may not those who wish to con tribute to this cause not wait till an appeal is made personally to them, but go and make a gift of their on accord. All money for this cause may be handed to Mr. Edgar Yoder, at Umstead and Yoder's store. The men's bible classes of the Sunday schools will also receive donations from their own members for the same purpose. Let us be quick and get tho testaments and send them to the boys at Camp Sevier.

I find Rheuma far in advance of the methods generally employed in the treatment of rheuma tism, and altogether different in composition from the remedies usual ly prescribed." Dr. Lyons.
