CARDINAL MERCIER EXPRESSES BELIEF IN WORLD’S FUTURE He Says the World Now Is Like a Great Invalid And Is At a Standstill CHRIST IS THE KING OF PEACE (Bv Associated Pregs) New York, Sept. 11.—Cardinal Merrier, Archbishop of Malines,' Belgium, whose defiance of Germany during the invasion of his country" at the beginning of the war attracted universal attention, has written a let ter to George L. Duval, of this city, in which he gives his hopes for the future 0fthe world from the moral point of view. “The world at this hour,” writes the j eminent prelate, “is a great invalid. ! AH eyes are turned to the physicians, all lips anxiously asking: is there hope of recovery? Have you a remedy, the remedy? The physicians have no concrete answer, or rather, they give divers answers all at once. The more the consultations and rmedies multi ply the more we realize that we are at a standstill. “Optimist or pessimist, which shall it be ? From a hypothetical considera tion of the situation in the present premises, there is something to justify and explain either tendency, But, in my humble judgment, under the broader view which should be de cisive, optimism must prevail. Be confident in spite of all, were my words to my fellow-citizens at one of the darkest hours of recent history. No matter 'now troubled, how close to, disaster *nd despair conditions may be, let every one keep his head erect and his heart steady, becaus dis couragement has never begotten energy, and enery alone breed tri umph. ‘ O, ye young men, compatriots, men of the people and representatives of the people, whether of Belgium or of other countries, do: ye wish to Kelp your brothers, the allies 0f yesterday, in the struggle we have made for ten years to attain peace? Then be men of energy. Should some vacillate or yield, be ye, the ^controlling ma jority, at all events steadfast. “Alas! I kow that both nations and individuals have undergone a great courage: self-seeking, the thirst for pleasure, the lust for money have too often overcome self-denial and de votion to the common weal, while political partisanship and class strife have impeded unity of action and have rended the commonwealth asunder. In this, however, I recog nize the effects of nerve collapse due to the hyperstrain of protracted war. A few more swings, and the pendulum ill return to the vertical. Here in Belgium and in France, there is no doubt that the rising generation gives promise of a abnundant reserve of nation energy, faith and discipline. Respect for and love of authority are growing, clearing the air, spreading currents of confidence, casting seeds of peace. “If all countries agreed to submit to one and the same moral authority, it would be possible to keep the peace. But should one of them deny this moral authority, seek alliances to build up its predominance over others, the peril of war must inevitably ensue. “The notorious ‘Internationale’ dreamt of by socialism or communism is really a universal and permanent organization for war: the very anti thesis of peace. “Bolshevism, the last end of social dissolution, is radically atheistic. Anti-bolshevism, the restoration of order, can only be built upon God. order, can only be built upon God. “Christ and He alone is King of peace. He teaches us that we are all brothers, thdt we have one and the same Father in heaven, and that the predominant law of our life, in which all other comfandments are com passed, is charity. hTe love of all for their Father, and for the sake of the Father the iove of brothers for one another. In auch measure as this love pervades, in so far will peace reign over the world. “In order, therefore, to work for universal peace, it is necessary to build up the gospel’s rule. Let all be lievers bet to work on this apostolate. Let all Christian nations, without mental reservation or dread of facing the truth and its consequences, make a loyal effort to bring about the (Continued On Page Two) | Republican Party Attacks LaFolletts Labor Day Speech FAIRS ARE GREAT | EDUCATIONAL HELPS . IN THE STATE North Carolina State Fair Has One of the Most Educa I tional Lists For Everyone IDEAL AGRICULTURAL EXHIBIT COMPLETE r (By Prof. C. B. Williams) The North Carolina State Fair has now one of the most educational premium lists for county, individual farm and crop exhibits of any fair in the country. The old saying that “Fair and timepieces that mark the progress of nations” was never more true than at the present time with fairs properly organized and con ducted. It is with gratitude that those interested in the progress of our State along various agricultural lineg note the substantial and rapid progress with reference to not only the num ber of fairs being held each year, but particularly with reference to the educational volue of the agricultural exhibits of different kinds at them. They are approximating mere nearly each year what ideal agricultural fairs should be; especially is this true of the State Fair. The careful and intelligent selec tion and exhibiting of agricultural and horticultural products, livestock and poultry of different kinds always has educational value not only for the producers of the crops and stock ex hibited, but also for all those who may see and study the displays. Under the splendid system of judg ing- that, baa bean established -at~*ha . State Fair, the following are some of the features that will be taught and if pressed: 1— The value of good seed of different crops selected by proper method3 of seed selection. 2— The importance and value of j growing the best suited varieties or types of crops. 3— The importance and value of proper classification and grading of farm products. 4— The value of suitable legu minous crops in crop rotation for use in building up rconomically the fer tility of our No «th Carolina soils and in providing hav for the needs of the farm. 5— The necessity on the part of the farmers for. providing for the pro-' ductior. of crops with the rjght kind’ of cultipation and fertilization. 6— The importance of selecting the kinds of crops best suited to the conditions and needs of different farm ers in different locations engaged in varying lines of agriculture, in order that they may got most out of their farming operations. 7— Help ta> crystalize in the public mind the best types of animals of animols of different kinds of live stock and poultry for the condition, and needs of North Carolina farms. 8— Helps to arouse interest in the best kinds of livestock, poultry, and field crops, and in our people using the best df these in their farming operations. 9— Proper methods of caring for and feeding of livestock and poultry and of handling the different products from thef in such a way as to get most out of their production. All fairs which are serving their proper function are important educa tional agencies in their various locali ties for taking directly to the people in concrete form the latest and most important information pertaining .to agriculture, horticultur, domestic science and household economirs, stock raising, poultry raising, manu facturing, mind, road construction, etc., especially that which is of value to the people of each community in which t^e fairs are held. It can hardly be questioned that the most successful fairs are those which have competitive crop exhibits from each community as profitable crop grow ing is one of the biggest problems of d>e North Carolina farmer. Strange that so many men will fight harder and longer for public office than for bettor jobs jn the in dustrial world, \ \ (Special to tho Gazette) N“w York, Sept. 18.—Senator La T'blU-.tte opened his campaign on ‘-'•hor Day with a statement of facts r.s he found them in the country and the remedies which he proposed. His speech, of course, is an appeal to class prejudice, the largest part of it an ' ore.torial denunciation. “The facts” which he mentions, however, are capable of analysis and are an indi cation of the entire falsity of the Premise on which he bases his de nunciation. He reiterates the conviction that •there are gigantic conspiracies in American industry and trade by which the ‘‘System is sucking the blood, morals and pocketbook of the Ameri can people. Let us see how far the Republican administration has kept the $ream of competition and what the result has been as related to the public in prices of commodities. Exactly what do we mean by tb “System”? asks Senator La Foiled and proceeds to give a number ox answers to that question. He says— “We mean the combination which rules the coal industry of this county and which fixes the price of coal to the consumer." As a matter of fact in the bituminous coal industry, which comprises 85 per cent out of all coal, there is no single corporation or group selling commercial coal which controls more than 5 per cent of the output. There are 8,000 independent operators busy at the present time cut each others’ throat in competition and fully one-half of them are now selling coal for less than cost. The price of bituminous coal today is the lowest it has been since 1916, while wages are the highest in history and are about 100 per cent above those of Hi6- K^e?«JjL.l.jei«LnJic monopoly controlling prices it would scarcely be delivering 85,000,000 tons of coal a week to the people* at a loss, or at lower prices than they received when wages were 50 per cent lower than now. If it is a conspiracy to do these things, it is a conspiracy which is working very poorly, gnd the Ameri can people are surely benefiting by it. As a matter of fact there is no more competitive idustry in the United States than in bituminou3 coal. HELEN BULLIS IN OVERALLS REPAIRS AIRPLANES At ELKO (By Associated Press) Salt Lake City, Sept. 13.—The only girl in the field division of the United States Aerial Mail Service is Miss Helen Bullis, formerly of Omaha, Neb., stationed at Elko, Nev. Miss Bullis, bobbed hair, young and pretty, decided three years ago that taaching at a Chicago institute for the deaf and dumb was not a very excit ing position, and cast her lot with the mailmen of the sky. At Elko, attired in overalls, she wo*ks as any other member of the fle)8 staff and according to her own afladpdon, is just a little bit envious rf tfie, men pilots, for only men can fly. ; “I never fail to get a thrill when I see an airplane come swooping down from the sky and hear its motor hum ming and throbbing,” Miss Bullis said when in Salt Lake recently. “I think of the glorious adventure it must be to go skimming through the clouds, and how fortunate men are to be able to do those thinks. As it is, I have to content myself with asking the pilots how the weather was, and to listen to their interesting experiences.” Miss Bullis, learning daily from the men employes, hopes before long to know more about airplane and air plane engines than any other girl in the world. DINOSAUR BONES ARE UNCOVERED (By Associated Press) Salt Lake City, Sept. 12.—The re mains of another dinosaur, pronounc ed the second largest yet found, have been unearthed in the Jensen, Uath, fossil field by Professor Earl Douglas of the Carnegie Institute. The skeleton is estimated to weigh between five and six tong and the legs bones of the prehistoric animal are 12 to It feet in length.
