REFLEC- The fourth anniversary of this country's declaration of war against Germany affords occasion for thought on many phases of the conflict. It reminds us, for instance that we are still technically at war, by reason of the refusal of the United States Sen ate to ratify the Treaty of Versailles, accepted by all of our allies and as sociates in the war. President Hard ing's campaign fervor for an immed iate separate peace by resolution of Congress is understood to have cooled somewhat since assumption of the presidential office, just as his . view point on many other ,J.e has changed under the sobering influence of responsibility. But the Knox resolu ?fon will soon be before the Senate and will have to be disposed of in one way or another, however distasteful deeds instead of words may be to the Republican majority. National Commander Galbraith ,ot the American Legion, calls up another matter for war-anniversary reflec tion in his statement pledging anew the soldier organizations laitn in America, its traditions and ideals, and its undyintr opposition to anything ap- :it; divided allegiance. Good American citizens may be ol German, Irish, English or other blood but they must be Americans without any hypen. The Legion is to be com mended for insistence that Whlb there may have been an armistice for our enemies, there never can he an armis 3 ;fi, fc bvnhen." The hyphen must go if America is to fulfill her destiny. President Harding says that one of his hobbies is to help men wno air . a .nrl nut."

Wo congratulate Presxlcnt Harding upon following the exomple of Presi dent Wilson in ai&cssing Congre-s m person. It insures a hearing instead of the old time droning that put Con-o-rpss to sleeD. Exactlv what President Harding favors with reference to our interna tional relations is still somewhat in the air. His message is muddier than his campaign speeches, if possible. He announced that he would approve a Congressional "declaratory resolution' which would bring to an end the 'tech nical state of war against the Central Powers of Europe." Does this mean he bscks the Knox resolution for separate peace as the policy to be pursued? That would be the natural inference and that was wl .it was advocated when he voted on the FUNERAL SERVICE FOR JUDGE J. C. PRITCHARD. Asheville, April 12. The body of Judge Jetter Conley Pritchard was laid to rest this afternoon at Kiverside cemetery with services conducted in the presence of hundreds of people from all walks of life. The grave was marked by huge banks of beautiful flowers woven into attractive floral tributes. Long before the hour of the funeral services, and before the tolling of the bell marked the cessation of all traffic and business activity for the space of three minutes about the city streets, crowds had filled to overflow ing the First Baptist church where the body of the distinguished jurist had lain in state since 11 o'clock. Hundreds had passed down the aisles and in front of the altar before which the casket, decked in white lilies, stood open to reveal the mortal remains of one beloved by men and women of high and low estate in many parts of the nation; one peculiarly Asheville's own, however, because of the years of his life spent largely in the mountain city he loved. Around the casket deacons and trustees of the church to which Judge Pritchard belonged took station as a guard of honor. Numbered in the vast au diance were many notables who jour neyed from far distanct cities to pay their last respects to the man who. starting from a simple mountain home, grew to become a national figure. All about the casket, the f.-ont of the wide pulpit and even upon the or gan there were arranged in tasteful masses all manner of floral tokens of cut flowers, sprays, ferns, with rib bons aiding in the conversion of the background into one of impressive beauty. THE FOUNDLING ON THE DOOR STEP WHAT WILL HE DO WITH IT? News and Observer. (Rhamkatte Roaster.) "What's Gamaliel a gain1 to do with that foundling which Woodrow left or, hi3 doorstep?" asked the old Codger this morningwhen he called to borrow our Nuisance Disturber. We had not heard that the ex-President had been playing any pranks on the new President, and we asked the Old Codger what l.e was insinuating. "I ain't insinuating nothin, " "said the Old Codger. "Ain't you got no memory? Don't you ricollect that Woodrow left that Peace Treaty on Gamalied's doorstep when he left March the fourth? Certainly he didn't take it with him to his now home. They do tell me, the fellers who have been up to Washington, that more folks gn to see where Woodrow lives nowlhan go to see Gamaliel. Howsumever, that's got nothin' to do with that foundling What do you think Gamaliel will do with it?" We confessed not to know, seeing during the campaign Gamaliel had seven different positions one to suit the Germans, one to suit the Irish, one to suit the French, one to suit the Italians, one to suit the Poles, one to suit the Hungarians, and one to suit the French and British, not to mentin the one to suit the colored fellow citi zens. "But," ascked the Old Codger, "didn't he have no pinion to suit us Amen cans?" We informed him that the Americans didn't count because thev were so divided as to party affiliations that if a candidate could unite the foreigi vote the Americans had no rights thai Kernel of 'cent it is Kernel of the Hoppers) George Harvey ter git the opinun oft he English and the Irish and the Messypitamiums when he gits to London. They ain't but one thin' sure about it." "What is that?" we inquired. "It is," said the Old Codger, "that he is a tryin' some way ter do that ain't like Woodrow's way. He is a skeered ter ask Root or Taft or Wick ersham or any Republican who kin see somethin' good in what Dimmy krat did, and Charles Evans air not follered no more than Woodrow list ened to Lansing." DESERTION IS DESERTION Greensboro News. This from Charity and Children: The Greensboro News says; "May be Miss Clements' law has attacked the foundations of society, but a law that compels a woman to acknowledge as her husband a bird that has left her to shift for herself for five years, it seems to us, it is a pretty rotten foundation." Well suppose it had been made one years instead of five. Would the News indorse that? Certainly. The crime is the deser tion, and if that can be proven be yond a reasonable doubt, the length of time since it occured is an irrele vant circumstances. It seems to us that there is no reasonable doubt that a man who has left his wife with no means of support for twelve months has no intention of coming back. He has deserted her, and she ought to be released from any legal obligation toward him. That doesn't mean that the desert er ought to be permitted to go free. The rock-pile is the place for him. But our information is that the Clem ent law puts not the slightest obsta cle in the way of prosecution of the man. It merely reduces from 10 to 5 years the time that a scoundrel can hold a woman legally bound to him after he has proven himself a scoundrel. Danville, Va., April Boyd, a negro, was fin 12. William ned $5 by Mayor Harrv Woodins this morning for ex ceeding the speed laws on horseback The negro in his own defense said that his horse could not go fast enough to violate the law but policemen testified that Boyd had galloped with a free rein over a railway crossing endanger ing the lives of small children. Fayetteville, N. C, April 11. The grand jury of Cumberland cuperior court today returned a true bill charging murder in the first degree against Thomas R.

But he seems to have abandoned the Knox plan to declare a separate peace as full settlement. He adds that "it would be idle to declare for sepa rate treaties of peace with the Central Powers on the assumption alone that these would be adequate becav.se the situation is co involved that our peace engagement cannot ignore the Old World relationships and the settlement already effected." Certainly they can not. Separate peace with Germany alone is thus repudiated. President Harding gives a sound reason for such repudiation for he declares" nor is it desirable to do so in preserving our own rights and contracting our future relationships." What is his conclusion ? He wishes to separate peace treaty from the League of Nations, accept the benefits of the former and reject the blessings of the latter. His declarations are hailed with pleasure by the irreconcil ables as indicating that the League of Nations is dead so far as American participation is concerned. "Let the Old World stumble along in chaos and unstability." That is the substance of the message. Otherwise the passage seems to be a careful review of the domestic legis lation needed. Generally the rec ommendations are general rather than specific. Economy is stressed and there are wise recommendations which will deserve the attention of Congress. There is lacking directness in how economies will be effected and how revenues will be levied But these subjects are more fully discussed by the Secretary of the Treasury. BUSINESS CONDITIONS. In a general resume of financial and business conditions in the United States, the Guaranty Trust Company, or JNew iork, says: ine second quarter ot the year opens with an appreciable gain in bu siness confidence. Irregular and con tradictory as they may at first glance appear, the reports from various sec tions of the country are on Jhe whole indicative ot an improved situation. jertainly conditions are no worse than they were a month ago and, in deed, the element of greater stability is so pronounced as to lead to a pre diction that before mid-year a definite turn for the better will be demonstra ted. There has been a slight increase in the railroad labor situation because of the policy of retaining efficient workers only. Automobile manufac turers are reopening their plants. Building operations are on the in crease. Farm products are being dia lled of under pressut -of a large nev crop and the inability of the banks to carry both the hold-over and al4-4w. j 1 I H fl i i m A Special Demon stration in Cooking WILL BE GIVEN All OUR STORE SATURDAY APRIL 16th With a SECHRIST PRESSURE Cooker COOKS OLD CHICKENS THROUGHLY IN FORTY-FIVE MINUTES, BEEF SOUP IN FORTY MINUTES, NAVY BEANS IN THIRTY MINUTES, AND COOKS BREAKFAST FOODS IN ONE THIRD THE USUAL TIME.

The fin 'Taith Healer," according to Bethune, S. C, citizens, and he is said to be ser iously considering going back to farming for a living. Last summer and fall the "Faith Healer,'' did nothing but heal. He had a private secretary who devoted his time to writing prescriptions and tak ing the money. His salary was $150 per month. So rich did the "Faith Healer' become that he bought the place he now lives on from a Mr. Welch, paying therefor several thous and dollars in cash. He also bought a Ford, but later decided that it was too cheap a machine for a man of his wealth and standing, he bought a $3,- 000 car, and now pays a negro $100 per month to run it. His folks found themselves rich almost beyond belief, and silks and broadcloths took the place of calicos and ginghams. New furniture was bought for his humble home, and ho set a better table than anyone eke in the community. But, unless business gets better, he is go ing to have to go back to farming for where there were a hundred cars in front of his place last year, there are not over five now. An order issued by the interstate commerce commission, effective June 30, completely readjusts and gener ally increases freight rates on higher classes of merchandise throughout the southeast.
