1 know'a Pacifist He is a sincere D
pacifist. He is not a pro-German orjH
a Sein-Feiner, but a real, unsubsid- g
ized, conscientious objector to war. , q
He objects to all war. He objects there
fore to this war.
TIp cava that it is time that some
nation should set an example to the,
world in the presence of aggression!
by not offering resistance to the ag-j
pressor. Better that the whole na-j
tion should be wiped out, its church
es and universities razed to the,
ground, its youth slaughtered or j
dragged into slavery, than that a
people should oppose force with!
force and fight for its liberties. j
My Pacifist expresses these views
frequently. A number of people say:
I He is a Nuf," But a surprising
number say. "Hiow beautiful! Of
course, his views are impractical.
But it is good in times like these
that there should be someone who
clrngs to ideals." ' i

DOING A SERVICE
Jud.n'e Ji'lin F. Dylan, who was
I'kvti'd mayor of the world's gratest
city ly tho largest plurality in his
tmy, was opposed by practically all
of Now York newspapers, those con
trolled by Hearst alone giving him
support. From this face, a great
many poople are inferring that the
New York people hava no grip on
tho public, and the record seems to
bear -out this assumption. New
York docs not vote like the newspa
pers urge, however right they may
be.
This emphasizes a point that the
Record has roal'zed all along that
good organization wins more battles
than the newspapers. Tammany has
the best organization in the world,
and it is only when the citizens of
the metropolis are smarting under
the certainty that their funds are be
ing misused, that vice is rampant,
and that the city is being turned
over to an army of t'me-servants will
they listen to the voice of the press.
Always Tammany can be defeated
after it has ruled for a season; but
always it comes back because the
people have; short memoripq
As vindictive and uncompromising
as New York papers seem to be, the
service they render New York and
tho nation cannot be overestimated.
I hey expose wrong-doing wherever
fouivl, and they are a watchman
placed on the towers of the city. It
would be an evil hour for New Y'ork
and the nation if all the papers there
were controlled by some pplitical ma
chine.
Those papers which can see no in
dications of German weakening prob
ably take it for granted that the
Germans are satisfied with an auto
cracy that uses them merely as
pawns. Our hopes are based on a
more or less careful reading of his
tory from time to time, and we would
not be surprised if the German peo
ple should demand an accounting.
They might insist on knowing what
the junkers mean to get out of the
war.
Since the Germans have braced tht
Austrian.-, on the Italian front, in
spired Vienna opinion is that an hon
orable peace will bo obtained soon,
An honorable peace in this case in
cludes a liberal slice of territory be
longing to weaker nations.
The bolsheviki announce that their
pol'cy towards their enemies is
force without mercy," a phrase that
Kerensky would do well to leam in
the event that ho is able to wrest
power from this crowd.
The new leaders in Tetrograd have
German names. Their aims also ait.
German.
wha Wpl-headed citizens. But once
a week they grow sentimental about
my pacifist.
"He is an idealist," they say.
But it happens that that is exact
ly what he is not.
An idealist is- a man who believes
that the things you can't see and hear
and touch and taste and smell are
more important than the things
that actually do strke your physical
senses. He thinks for instance that
love is worth more than money; that
to speak the truth and be poor is bet
ter than to lie and own a limousine;
that to be right is better than to be
president. The real idealist believes
that liberty is worth more than pros
perity and comfort. He is willing to
glVU Up Ilia uvuais cw.v .
to preserve it. He even thinks that g
liberty for his children or other peo- g
pie's children is worth more than"
his own life. He is willing to risk his , g
life for it. He is even willing xo
g:ve up his life for it.
The pacifist declares tnat ne aisoju
believes that the things of the spirit p
are better than the things of the'Q
flesh. In fact, he has an idea tnat
he is the only fellow who does be
lieve that. He thinks that liberty is
fine and slavery is awful.
But ' . .
When hi3 neighbors are carried in
to slavery, he scurries into his cellar
for fear of attracting tne attention
of the slave-driver and irritating him
with an appearance of disapproval.
When his own liberty is threaten
ed, and not only his own liberty but
the liberty of his children, he pro
poses to give up that liberty with
out a struggle, and moves tnat tne
keys to the front door be formally
presented to the burglar, the cut
throat and the ripper
Does the pacifist love liberty more
than prosperity and comfort and life ?
We suspect not.
Does he love the things of the
spirit more than the things you can
uncork or eat with mayonnaise?
Scarcely.
The pacifist converses beautifully.
Meanwhile, wrong may triumph, lib
erty may be quenched, men and wo
men may be sold into slavery, art,
literature and religion may be flung
back a thousand years.
"Be it so!" cries the pacifist. "Bet
ter that, than to slay and to be sla:n!"
Better that the spirit of man be
trampled under the feet of horses,
than the body! Is that it, pacifist?
"Better anything" cries the Paci
fist, "than to take life." .
Better to let your daughters be
carried off into slavery, than to take
life? Better to let your son be made
a servile subject of an autocrat, than
to take life? Better to let your
own freedom to think and speak be
controlled by a Prussian drillsergeant
than to take life? Better to let your
little children be subtly influenced to
revere German Kultur more than the
American ideal of democracy bet
ter that, than to take life?
"Not for me!" cries the man in
khaki. "Far better to take life and to
give up life than to surrender the
spiritual heritage of two thousanu
years."
The man in khaki is right, for
that heritage is the heritage of
Christ, threatened once more by the
barbarians.
i "Verily, he who saveth his life
shall lose it," cries the greatest
idealist that ever lived, "but he whv.

loseth his life for my sake shall'

In this war between autocracy and
democracy can there be any question
which is Christ's side?
But the pacifist can see nothing
except his own body and the body
of his foe. Nothing else is in the
picture. In comparison to the fate of
the body, the fate of things spiritual
is without significance.
My Pacifist is not an idealist at
all. He is a tough-livered material
ist. The good citizens who are trying
to revivify their own, idealism by
contact with his, are going to be
disappointed. There is as much of the
true spark in the pacifist's idealism,
as there is electricity in a pain of
pate de f o s gras.
TROOPS AND SUPPLIES
IN INCREASING NUMBER
With the American Army in France
Nov. 11. (By the Associated Press)
(General Pershing said to the cor
respondents today:
"Troops and supplies are arriving
in increas'ng numbers."
Thanks to the French, British and
American navies, he continued, the
submarine to date has not claimed
the life of a single American soldier
on the troop ships bound for France.
The French officers, he said, were en
thusiastic over the character, intel
ligence and eagerness of the vounk
officers who are arriving in France to
continue their instruction, and the

Si:ilIOi:s CUTTING AFFKAY
AT VALDKSK YESTERDAY
Morganton, Nov. 11. As the result
of one of the most serious cutting
arrays IJurku has ever had, two well
known Valdose men, Frank Jones ana
Ernest lierry, were literally cut to
pieces Sunday at tho station at Val
deso and neither is expected to live,
while Glenn Isonhour, who is alleged
to have done the cutting, is a fugi
tive in tho South mountains with
a posse in search.
Frank Jones was brought to tho
hospital herd 15erry was cut too
badly to be moved.
Little is known as to the cause of
tho fight, but Berry was acting as
'l,uuienMker and in tttcmpting to
stop Isonhour from cutting Jones was
perhaps fatally cut himself, accord
ing to the information obtained.
Although there was a large crowj
at the depot, Iaenhour walked avva
toward the mounta'ns with n f.,i
named Miller, who later returned for
Isenhour's clothes.
Valdose is not incorporated, so
there is no oflicer there and it was
a couple of hours before Sheriff
Johnson arrived and organized
posse.
It is said Isonhour can bo identi
fied by a wound on the forehead caus -
