THURSDAY, APRIL 21, 1921 DEMOCRATIC TOWN TICKET For Election May 3, 1921. Mayor J. R. Gamble. Alderman Ward 1 Fred Ramsaur. Alderman Ward 2 Frank Love. Alderman Ward 3 Dr. R. R. Rein hardt. , Alderman Ward 4 J. F. Wentz. Graded School Trustee Rev. W. J. Roof. What we need most now is a return to normalcy in the weather. The market, at least, is going back on the farm. One of the most comforting thing to Democrats in the present session nf Congress is the happy thought that they can't be held responsible for any of the results. "Vernal April," sings the poet, but some of the varieties of weather she has produced suggests that he change it too "infernal April." Isn't it a pity they denied former Emperor Kard a Vienna loaf? What's this? New Secretary of the Navy Denby pronouncing the Atlan tic Fleet in fine shape, after eight; years of Josephus DanieL' blighting control? These Republicans are get ting careless with their admissions that efficiency is possible even in a Democrat. I A SEPARATE PEACE? A resolution for a separate peace with Germany has been introduced by Senator Knox and must soon be acted upon by both houses of Congress. The resolution is similarHo the one passed by the Sixty-sixth Congress and veto ed by President Wilson. It comes in compliance with the recommendation of President Harding for such a "technical" termination of the. state of war. While the President holds that this method of concluding peace can be "in no sense construed as a desertion of the allies "there are many who be lieve otherwise. In their view a se parate peace is justifiable only on two conditions: hrst, that Germany is no longer a menace, and second, that the United States has no desire to co-operate with the allies in the fixing and securing of reparations and other terms - Is Germany no lontrenpj menace to world peace? The imjradence with which -the German government flouts its armistice obligations is sufficient answer to that question, and the pes tilential persistence with which shameless German propaganda lifts its unabashed head in this country is further proof that "Deutchland ueber alles" is no dead and forgotten slogan. Shall we make a separate peace with Germany at the expense of the allies who fought by our sides? Is that what 'they who sleep in Flanders field" gave up their lives for? Are they whose sacrifice is symbolished by tne wood red poppies so soon forgot 7 Has the Almighty Dollar obscured and overcome every noble find idealistic impulse that animated American hearts four years and three years ago? Is money indeed more to be prized than honor? These are annoy ing questions that will not down, and Congress must answer them by its action on the Knox separate peace re solution. Mr. Wilson's vice becomes Mr. Harding's virtue. The Constitution was ripDed up the back and the Ark of the Covenant was imperilled when Mr. Wilson committed such an out rageous act of usurpation and griev ous personal affront to the sacred traditions of the Senate as to read his messages in person. But Mr. Hard ing follows in his predecessor's foot steps in this as in many other things and Republican applause takes the place of Republican s-owls and sneers. There's such a powerful sight of dif ference 'twixt tweedlc-dum and twee-"dle-dee! DR DURHAM HEARD' IN LIN- - COLNTON METHODIST CHURCH A large audience her.rd Dr. Plato Durham, at the Lincoln Methodist church Sunday night. He was here in interest of the great Ohristain educa tion movement now being launched by the Methodist church. His message was scholarly,eloquent and forceful. In dramatic chaste diction he outlined the great epochs of history as related to religious thought. Beginning with the Asostolic age when "repentance" was the key word, followed by "for giveness" until after the Dark ages dispelled by the reformation through the great slogan of "justification by faith", and again when Wesley was leader in the great revival movement by proclaiming the doctrine of the "witness of the spirit," he declared that ajl signs were phophetic of a great revival in this present age, and the battle cry would be "in His im age." And with this great revival he said, would come the true realiza tion of what Christianity is. It is to ed like Christ in our lives. He stress ed the need of Christian education, showing all m.:n are brothers with one great, father, and that it is the duty of every person to help make it possible for every person to be come and .be the best person possible.

BEAM IS RE-ELECTED At a recent meeting of the Lincoln County Board of Education Mr. L. B. Beam was re-elected to the posi tion of superintendent of Lincoln County schools, for two years beginn ing July, 1921. Under the direction of Supt Beam the County schools have made splendid progress, and friends of public education will join in con gratulations to the Board for conti ia- ing this most efficient superintendent at the head of the county schools. MRS. EMMA DUNCAN APPOINT ED ON DENVER SCHOOL COM MITTEE. At a meeting of the County school Board recently held a County prece dent was broken when the County Board appointed Mrs. Emma Duncan of Denver, as a member of the Den ver school committee. Mrs. Duncan succeeds Rev. W. B. Shinn who has re moved from the district. The appoint ment of Mrs. Duncan on the Denver school committee n6 doubt pleases the patrons, she being considered a wo man of ability and a friends of public education. CONGRATULATES COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. Mr. I. B Gricr. of East Lincoln, was a Liincolnton Dusiness visitor mommy and said that since there is to be a new court house built he was glad to read in the paper that the Lincoln Coun ty Commissioners have decided to go ahead and build the new court house, and that they were preparing to tear down the old courthouse and place .the new one right where the old one now stands. "I think, said Mr. Gner, "the commissioners have acted wisely in deciding to put the new courthouse on the exact spot where they old one stands. We are accustomed to see a courthouse there and the town has grown up around the courthouse as at present located, and it would look awkard not to see the new courthouse where the old one now stands, so that people passing through Lincolnton can see the new one no matter which street they enter town on; the proposed beau tiful new courthouse should be shown off to advantage by making it the most prominent building in town ami the easiest to be found and seen by those passing through, and convenient to the business district just like the old one is; that new one is to have conveniences for country people and the commissioners are right I think in loeating it on the present court house spot, so that courftry people can get to it easily from the business dis trict, and can enjoy the courthouse lawn and shade. If the commission ers had decided to put the new court house elsewhere 500 different issues would have arisen at once Besides it would not have been fair to have put the courthouse anywhere but on the. spot where the old one is, because it would have been unfair to those who own business pro perty to have upset the value of thsir property by putting the new court house anywhere else. I think that the commissioners saw ahead and saw the issues that would arise and also That there was no need of spending money for another courthouse site when they had the best site in town, and the kjnd of site any town would give any amount of money to have. That court house site is the prettiest part of Lin colnton, and if the courthouse had been located elsewhere it wou'd some day have been destroyed as such, and I am glad the commissioners have de cided to do as they have, fori would never feel at home in Lincolnton if I had to get a guide to heln me find the temple of justice in Lincolnton on some quiet side street. And if it had been necessary for them to locate it in a quiet place away from noisy, hustling Lincolnton, why I would have been glad to have had' it down on i high sloping spot on our East Lincoln farm land. But I am glad it is to be located where the old one is, so that it will effect none of the rights of those who own property near it, for none would have wanted to damage other people's property value, when a location elsewhere would have never pleased, or looked half as good, or been half as convenient, as it will be on the present spot. Congratulations to Lincoln's commissioners for not changing the location for the new courthouse. A SAMPLE.

IMPORTANT MEETING OF LUTH ERANS. The Spring meeting of the North Carolina conference of the Tennessee Synod was held with Philadelphia Congregation, Granite Falls, Rev. F. L. Conrad pastor, April, 13-15. DIL - - . ine sessions oi conlerence were presided over by Rev. J. C. Dietz of Gastonia. The business of the con ference was rapidly dispatched under his efficient management. There were 33 ministers and GO laj men present at the meeting besides a host of visitors. , Conference opened at 9 a. m. on Wednesday. At 11 a. m. the confer ential sermon was preached by the president, and the Lord's Supper was administered. The conference being largely edu cational, much of the time was con sumed in general discussion of topics of special interest. The special order was as follows: On Wednesday after noon "Errors and Dangers Threaten ing tne Church irom Without" was ably and forceably presented by Rev. L. L. Lohr, D D. of Lincolnton. Dr. Lohr emphasized especially the dan fers, of materialism, indifferentism, spirtualism, communionism.Eddyism or so-called Christian Science, and Russelism beside a number of other dangerous and hurtfulisms. For Thursday. "The importance of the Christian college was discussed in a threefold manner as follows, (a) In the life of the church, by Rev. A. I.,. Bolick of Stanley (b) In the Life of the home,'' by Rev. R. B. Sigmon of Lexington, N. C, and (c) In the life of the State, by the conference in gen eral. These discussions revealed es pecially the exhalted positions occupied by the christian school not only in the spiritual domain, but also in the civic life of our people. And all were ready to say, Long live the Christian col lege." On Friday the discussion was along the line of "the churches' care of her dependents." This discussion 'was led by Prof. Keener D. D., of Lenoir col lege Hickory N. C. who emphasized in most e'oqv.ent fashion the office of the ministry and our duty to support it. Rev. J. O. Yount of Conovt,r -called attention to the others dependent up on, and looking in large measure t.i the church for relief. The treasurer's report for the year showed the conference to be in good shape financially. The board of Pas tarates recommended, the division of the Dallas and Crouse pastorates so as to form a third with Hardin as the center. It was alsrf unanimously agreed to holdVa Sunday School Nor mal at Lenoir College, Hickory, this summer for the purnose of train ing S. S. Officers and teachers. The time, course of Study etc to be announced later. The conference heard with pleasure and profit, Rev. A. C. Tellman, a mis sionary to the Hebrews in Brooklyn New York. It was decided to hold the next meeting of conference with Friend ship Congregation, Alexander county, leginning on Wednesday before tne first S.inday in September. THE STRUGGLE IN GREENSBORO Charity and Children. The country club of Greensboro was organized several years ago with the provision that Sunday games would not be tolerated on the grounds. As the club greyr in number the senti ment in favor of Sunday games has grown, and an effort is now on to se cure enough new members with "broad" views to change the charter and permit the playing of golf on Sun day afternoon. Of course the Jews who belong to the club are for the change. The Roman Catholics also are for the moct part favorable to Sunday golf, though one of the priests be it said to his credit, is strenously opposed to this desecration of the Sabbath day. The men about town with no relieious conviction stand with the Jews and Catholics. These. however, would not be able to put Sunday gold over, but for the profes sing Christians in the club who see no wrong in a ouiet game on Sunday af ternoon. And that is" the surprisine fcature of the business The ministry of tne citv nre standing against the added to the Sunday entertainment, ana tne morning will be then occupied ES We'1' 33 ne afternoon.

HARD TIMES COMPARED TO FLEAS BY WILLY8 (The Charlotte News.) Business will be about normal by October, thinks John N. WilUys. Mr. Willys, who is president of the Willys-Knight and Overland automo bile companies and the head of a dox- en or more of the biggest manufac turing plants in America, was in Charlotte Thursday as the guest of the Carolina automobile showvand the Daily-Overland company. Mr. Willys is optimistic. He is also full of life. He believes in the future of American industry. He is not wor rying about the alleged period of de pression. ' TA . ... repression is like tne nea; very necessary, Mr. Willys believes. A man asked the owner of the dog why he did not get rid of the fleas on the canine, Mr. Willys said, in illus trating his point. The man replied : It is nec3ssary that the dog bo troubled by fleas in order that he may know he is a dog." Likewise was it necessary that Americans know that money had a value. Back in the days when every body was trying to see how much money they could throw away you though they had much when they had only one dollar. NEW YORK AND AMERICANISM (From The Houston Post.) A movement is on foot to have the pay of teachers who are teaching Americanism in New York night schools increased. New York needs to be taught Americanism more than does any other city in the country, and she shoujd be willing to pay liberally to learn the ways of the country in which file city in located. SAID TO BE RICHEST VEIN EVER STRUCK t Dawson, Y. T., April 15. Recent arrivals from Keno Hill, in the Mayor district, confirm the report of the dis- co ery oCa nine foot silver vein in the Rico claim there. The strike was made in a tunnel which pierces a 1,000 foot bluff and the center of the vein is said to be two feet of solid galena, assay ing laore than $200 to the ton. It is said to be the richest vein ever struck in the Yukon or Alaska. CATAWBA COUNTY HAS VOTED HALF MILLION FOR ROADS Hickory, April 19. Hickory town ship gave 400 majority for the half million dollar good roads bond issue. Scattering returns from the county in dicate bonds have carried by slight plurality. Two years ago Hickory township gave 200 majority against the same proposition. PEACE. , (Henry W. Longfellow.) Were half the power that fills the world with tersgr, Were half the wealth bestowed on Camps and courts, Given to redeem" the 'human mind from error, There were no need of arsenals or forts. The warrior's name would be a name abhorred! ' And every nation that should lift again t Itc hand against a brother, on its forehead Would wear forevermore the curse of Cain! Down the dark future, through long generation, The echoing sounds grow fainter and then cease; And like a bell, with solemn, sweet vibrations, I hear once more the voice of Christ say, Peace! Peace! and no longer from its brazen portal The blast of War's great organ shakes the skies! But beautiful as songs of the immor tals, The holy melodies of love arisS.

MECKLENBURG VOTES TWO MILLIONS FO,R GOODROADSfl Charlotte, April 19. The electorate of Mecklenburg- county, of which Char lotte is the capital, today voted a bond issue of $2,000,000 for the con struction of a system of hard-surface roads. The majority for bonds, with only two small rural precincts unre ported, is above2,100. In the city , of Charlotte the bonds were carried by- a majority of about three and a half votes to one, the ex act figures being 3,804 for the issue and 1,103 against, a majority of 2,- 701. In Charlotte township,' outside the city; the four small precincts gave a majority of 170 for the bonds, with u vote of 259 for and 89 against the issue. - In the county, the good roads ad vocates carried six townships, while the opponents carried eight. The ma jority against bonds in the county, outside of Charlotte fownship, was only 710 votes. The vote for the bonds in the county was 1,217, while the opponents cast 1,927 votes. The vote yesterday was compara tively light in city and county, not amounting to more than half of the number on the regisfration books, but the leaders reported last night that it was as large, in many cases larger, than was expected. CONFIDENCE A . (From London Tit-Bits.) In the sweet silence of the twilight they honeyspooned upon the beach. "Dearest," she murmured, trem blingly, "now that we are married, I I have a secret to tell you!" "What is it, sweetheart?" he asked, softly. "Can you ever forgive me for de ceiving you?" she sobbed. My my left eye is made of glass!" 'Never mind, lovebird," he whis pered, gently; 'so are Jhe diamonds in your engagement ring." ON MAKING A NEWSPAPER The Gazette. This is old stuff we art giving you, but it comes in handy -enough at this time, for we are riled at somebody and this is the only way we have of getting even. 'Tis'like 'this: "Heard somebody, a mighty good friend of yours, too, criticizing The Gazette the other day for not publish ing said a friend of ours recently, going on to mention a cer tain event that had taken place a few night previous. "Who was it? Just want to know so we can tell him why it was not pub lished," we replied. "Can't tell you who it was" was the answer. No amount of persuasion could in duce our friend to inform us of the complaint so we could tell him why this piece of news was, not published, so we just informed said tale-bearer to go back and tell his friend where to get off, that we were not eminscient omnipresent, or indefatigable none of 'em and that sometimes news iteirn escaped us, and that U he wanted his affair written up to tell as about it, else it could stay out. Sometimes, perhaps, the readers of this newspaper think there is .an item missing which should be printed. There is just one reason why it was not there, if it was real news and not free advertising, and that it because the editor did not know about it. There is nbthing that an editor likes better than suggestions which will make his paper a better paper. Of course, suggestions must be construc tive and not something like this: An irate subscriber enters the of fice on the day after press day and fix ing his beady eye on the editor, de mands an explanation of why his wife's sister's cousin didn't get a "so cial notice." "She's been in town three days,' he concluded. " Yes, it does look like a bad case against the editor. Of Course, no one told hinT"said "cousin" was in town. He is an editor and should have known it. That's what he's there for. Said a society editor: "We try to get an tne personals, put if somebo dy's wife's sister's cousin slips in about 10:30 at night in an automobile, we can't be expected to know it, un less you tell us about it." Here's a suggestion to the reader: And if you have a party on the same day there happens to be a funeral a football game, and a runaway in town, just to make such the editor knows it, call him up and give him the de tails. The editor is just as desirous to have his paper cram full of news as you are to hnd it that way WEAVER WORKING FOR POSTOFFICE BUILDINGS (By H. E. C. Bryant in Charlotte Ob server.) Washington, April 20. Represen tative Weaver has introduced a bill for 50,000 for a public building at Rutherfordton, and another for one at Canton for $40,000. ' . The site at Rutherfordton has been bought, and is ready for the building. The town is growing and needs a public building. Canton is a very lively little city, at least it was before the republican senate killed the peace (treaty. Now the empty box cars on the sider tracks near there are called "Hard ing specials" and the manufacturing plants do not get up enough steam to "blow the whistle." But, it believed Canton will continue grow. The Bible tells of a time when "seven women sha"ll lay hold of one man," foretelling Mormonism. The world is getting better.
