Governor Eickett has called a spe
cial session of the North Carolina
General Assembly for next July and
tfcm seems to b o doubt but that
the Susan B. Anthony suffrage bill
JjU te ratified at that time. Last
fiit-itLy Illinois. Michigan and Wis
consin ratified the amendment, the
vote In Michigan being unanimous,
and only three negative votes were
Cast In each or the other two states.
Both the Democratic and Republi
can National Executive Committees
at recent meetings requested the gov
ernors of the various siates to call ex
tra sessions and 22 have assented.
Lesislatuies in five states meet in reg
ular session next year. The women
are anxious that the required two
thirds of the states ratify the amend
ment in order that they may vote in
the 1!20 elections.
IUN't't for the I'nilonn.
Sergeant Battle Williams of Camp
Gordon ha written a letter to a num
ber of Carolina papers deploring the
growing tendency on the part of dis
charged soldiers to wear the uniform
incorrectly. As he expresses it:
'Tart army and some civil." He
thinks there is no real excuse for
mixing the khaki with civilian
clothes; if the ex-soldier is unable to
obtain an outfit of mufti at one time,
let him continue to wear his uniform
in full. In the following words Sgt.
Williams denounces this practice as a
transgression on the dignity of the
uniform :
Such a practice diverts from the sa
credness of the honor of the soldiers
who put the olive drab over the top.
tending to discount the many blood
stained olive drabs that went down
with their wearers In the great fight
for world humanity. Everyone should
know that the uniform is symbolical
of the price we paid for world free
dom, that It was the raiment of the
noble heroes who fell on honor's field
of battle, and that It deserves the
most Illustrious treatment and re
spect that we can bestow upon It.

FOOD IS CURE
FOR BOLSHEVISM
Flret A 14 Treatment Splendid Medi
cine for Spirit of Unrest. Hew
War Saving Stamps Help.
President Wilton has asked for food
to stop the wave of Bolshevism roll
tot westward out of Russia. No Intel
ligent paraon doubts the value of food
at a Snt aid. but at bottom the secur
ity of oar inttitution rests upon the
worklag interest the people take in
those irtt'fulion.
Cititens saving no Interest In a gov
ernment, no economic interest in the
uccett of that government, are apt to
be the firtt victims of vicious propa
ganda or unbalanced political theo
rists. On the other band men and
women who have invested In their
government either by way of conduct
ing private enterprise under its pro
tection or through direct purchase of
government securities have something
at stake and desire to maintain stable
Institutions. Such persons are not
necessarily reactionists. They may
be quite progressive and anxious for
reform where reform is needed.
Consequently the effective barrier
to Bolshevism In America today Is
thrift tnd investment. The philosophy
must reach into the workshops of the
nation. It is reaching into those work
shops and into the sihoolhouses of the
nation In the fcrm of the Thrift
Stamp and the War Pavings Stamp.
When everybody In America is buy
ing Thrift and War Pavings Stumps as
a habit one won't heir much about
Bolshevism In America. It Is the
financial and patriotic duty of every
American who loves real liberty to
get the Thrift Sump habit NOW.

Correspondence of The Journal.
Stouts, June 11. So tlu Student:
has decided to drop the subj-vt,
' Sunday Labor," and has 'aken a
more dangerous one, "Woman Suf
frage." This subject has been dis
cussed for a long time and 1 am sure
the women are going to get to vote
Jn the near future. I stand for wo
man suffrage myself and since wo
men have been created equal to men
they should enjoy the sume privilege
a men when it comes to suppotting
a government which concerns women
as much as it concerns men.
As to the arguments that women
are inferior to men or that they
should be home-mukers it Is too dis
gusting for words. Why can't a wo
man vote for what she thinks Is right
and still be a good home-maker?
And why withhold tis from what is
our tight because of the selfishness of
some individuals who never look be
yond their horizon of life? Well I
guess I had better stop now before I
raise the Student's dander and you
know when you get a red-headed per
son angry you have a job 'on your
hands.

That it Is a bad business proposi
tion for any merchant to encourage
faoldert of War Savings Stamps to
exrhang them for merchandise Is the
opinion of a group of eastern business
men, who recently discussed this
question at their annual convention.
"Such action merely helps fake pro
tnolart and dltticnest brokers In their
effort to shake public confidence in
government bond as an Investment,"
said on of the speaker. "It Is la
mentable that they have worked to an
alarming degree among the poor, and
among Ignorant people of this coun
try." The two hundred delegates attend
ing the gathering were o impresed
with tie necessity for keeping War
Savings Stamp In the hands ot the
original purchasers that each pledged
to go back heme and constitute him
self the head of a vigilance commit
tee to oppose the offering of merchan
dise for government securities.
