To the Edhor of The Journal: In the days when 1 ui child and played giues, climbed trees aud ran rates with other children there was not so uiny mode of travel as there are now and as a consequence out acquaintances were limited so the few people we did know stamped themselves Indelibly in our memories. Well, among those v hom 1 knew there was a strong ... .bed, bright faced boy who was one among the , play mates of those days. A splen did young fellow he was with pros pects to make of himself an Intelli gent, useful cilixeu. Today he is both a physical and mental wreck; de- the charities of tne a-nrthlittg life in his bod v. Just L piece of driftwood among the mass of humanity. He is not able to utter a sensible sentence. Why such a sad ending to a promising life? because the laws of the land allowed men to rent houses to be used In what H known as the "red light district." 1 believe. Well, perhaps jhla poor fel low was not worse than thousands of others. It Is just possible that be was not allured Into a place like that but few times but he went Just one time too many and the thing that fol lowed was and is a shame on a so called Christian country. He never married and the sad part of it is that had it been otherwise he might now have been a man with a family of boys and girls useful to the nation. 'Oh." some one says, "that does not concern me. My boys live in the country and it will never affect them." Yes. but it may. The young nan of the story was a country boy and young men of these days have an easier and quicker way of getting to the city than they had then and so It affects all of us. So one of the the laws for that but the Sgbt is still on for us to see to it that the officer who fails to enforce the laws does not hold his office any longer than we ean put him out. Of course we can not legislate goodness Into a man but we ean keep him from making a hog of himself for the sake of those who lore him and are de pendent on him. There Is the mat ter of government expenditures. It is a known fact that there Is great deal of waste of public funds. I be lieve that as a rule women know how to economiie more than men and If we will send some of our most capable women to our legisla tures there will be a difference in the way public money Is used. For Instance, I don't know about North Carolina, but down here In South Carolina we have what Is called the truant officer. He does absolutely nothing that I can find out about ex cept go around one or two afternoons during the year and get the names of all the children of compulsory school age. What he does with those names no one seems to know. And yet he gets one hundred dollars a month for the twelve month around.

How a legislature com posed of supposedly sensible men could have thought up an office like that and voted it on a lonx suffer ing state I cannot see. And there are other ways that could bo men tioned here that the money is being taken out of the already overtaxed people's pockets and uselessly spent. Should Insist on (irtod School. Then I think the women ought to Investigate the condition of our school houses and see to it that they are made more comfortable and bet ter equipped for our children. We are compelling them to go. which Is all right, but we must see what kind of a place we are having them spend a part of the day in. While we are looking we might see something about the colored children too.

Thousands who suffer from back ache and kidney complaint have tried one remedy after another, finding only temporary benefit. This Is dis couraging, but there Is one kidney medicine that has earned a reputation for lasting results and there Is plenty of proof of Us merit right here in Monroe. Here Is the testimony t Oiio who used Doan's Klt'tiey Pills years ago. and now makes her testimony even itronger. .. Mrs. V. M. Teach, 412 English St.. gave the following account of her ex perience with Doan's Kidney Tills March 19, 1915: "Moan's Kidney Pills have helped me whenever I have to use them. I used to be subject to backache and often was pretty bad off. When I got up In the morning, my back would feel so lame and sore, I could hardly get out of bed. Doan's always relieved me and made my back feel as strong as ever. Now and then my back bothers me a littlo when I over do or take cold, but Doan's always relieves me." On May 4. 1918, .Mrs. Peach said: "I still stand by what I said In favor of Doan's Kidney Pills some time ago Doan's entirely cured me of a bad case of kidney complaint and I don't have to use thorn any more. I advlne others to try this medicine." Trice COc, at all dealers. Don'l simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Tills the same that Mrs. Teach had. Foster Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.

John J. Parker of Monroe, republican nominee for governor, de liver his first political addro.-s in Asheville, says the Asheville Times. It was one of the most n preventa tive audiences ever gathered here to listen to any political speaker. Mr. Parker was not only generously ap plauded throughout his address, but he also received that rare tribute of hushed attention which bespeaks per sonal contact between a speaker and his audience, and which emphasises that audience's serious stteutioit. The meeting last night was the climax of a series of Usser triumphs throughout the western counties and marked the end of .a perfect politic al day In Asheville. during which day Mr. Parker spoke at the Kiwanis meeting at Uie Langren and in the afternoon at a reception tendered him at the Elks building by the woman's division of the Republican club. If ever big crowds, intense interest and enthusiasm Indicated political success, the signs are most extremely favorable for a republican victory In North Carolina this fall In Given Reception. When Hon. J. J. Britt last night Introduced the speaker of the even ing as the next governor of Noitl, Carolina, and told what the repub lican party had won during the past 35 years by its Incessant fighting, the crowd rose to Its feet and approved the sentiments expressed, and ap proved Mr. Britt no less. It was a fine reception from a flue crowd, but then, too, so was that other recep tion given the next governor by the ladies during the afternoon. Mrs. J. C. Pritchard presided at this meeting, and the other officers of the woman's division, Mrs. O. C. Hamil ton, Mrs. J. T. Sevier and Mrs. O. H. Lail, were seated with her. There women present whose names are well known here and throughout the state and it was certainly a pretty scene. Of course there was music, and flow era and refreshments of Ico cream and cake, and there wus a big crowd, and It was hard to realize that It was a political gathering, but It was, and a successful one. The excellent or chestra played those old southern airs which wfll never die, It was a south ern gentleman of the republican par ty who was the honor guest, and it was southern women gathered, pre paring to exercise rights not granted them, Mr. Parker said, by a North Carolina democratic legislature. In his short talk Mr. Parker emphasized the need of welfare legislation in this slate and believed the women would hasten Its coming. Ht-'drew atten tion to the lack of adu.;iate child la bor laws adequate laws to protect women laborers and reformatories for juvenile offenders. Mr. Parker's Addre "I am first of all a North Carolin ian. I was born In this state and 1 am living on the very spot where I was born. ,1 expect to spend my life here and I expect to be burlned on the hillside above my home. My ances tors lived here for 150 years herore I wus born and I expect my children to live here after I am dead. All that I am, all that I have, all that I hope for Is bound up in the history and future of this state. "Furthermore, I am a southerner who Is proud of his southern blood. I am proud of the men and the wom en, who, in ante-bellum days, made the name of the South a synonym tf chivalry and honor. I glory In the manhood and the loyalty and the de votion of the men who folilowed the lost cause. My grandfather fell fight ing for the confederacy at the ill starred battle of Chancellorsville and his bones today lie in an unmarked Virginia grave. I would be untrue to him, whose name I rever, If I should ever cease to love this beautiful sec tion which gave me birth and for which he gave his life. "And it is because I love the south and because I love North Carolina that I would do something to tetter the political life of the state. I would break the solid south and rid my sec tion of the curse of the one party sys tem, which has forged for it what Judge Carter has eloquently culled The Hi;h Schoul Team Didnt Get a Square iH-al in Saturday's Uaiue, He Avers. To the Editor of The Journal: la the sporting section of the Char lotte Observer of Sunday, September ISth. there appeared an account of the foot-ball game at Independence park Saturday afternoon between the Monroe high school and the Charlotte high school, wherein Mr. C. W. Orton, coach of the Monroe high school, was criticised for his protests and action taken over a dispute which occurred. This dispute arose before the end of the second quarter over a free-for-all fumble, first made by Bierman of Charlotte high school, and after a se ries of fumbles by both sides, the ball was finally recovered by Lanry of the Monroe high school, who had full possession of It at the time the referee blew his whistle declaring the ball dead. After L..ney had re leased the ball some member of ihe Charlotte high school squad then tell upon it, and the referee after he had blown his whistle declaring the ball dead when it was In possession rf Laney. ruled that It was Charlotte high school's ball, at'd it was at this instant that Coach O'tun protested and called his men from the field when the referee ordered the game to proceed with the ball lu Char lotte's possession. The fumble oc curred very near the side line and these are the facts that really oc curred and as were substantiated by all who actually saw the play, many of whom were Charlotte citizens. It was also stated that such actloa was extremely distasteful to lovers of good sports, and that it was pull ing "small town stuff" In becoming Indignant over the decision. In this connection, while It Is regretted that such an incident occurred, there la no regret, however, over the action taken by Coach Orton as It was In the Interest of good sportsmanship and It Is impossible to conceive cf anyone who pretends to be a lover of good sports that would sanction Ihe decision of the so-called unbiased referee In whose best judgment ren dered such an absurd decision. So far as the "small town stuff" Is con cerned, the people of Monroe, admit tedly a small town, would be greatly mortified if the same statements that were made by the sporting editor of the Charlotte Observer, would be made by one of her citizens about some one from another small town, which you will find located 83 miles south of Winston-Salem. The Monroe high school was de nied ony voice In the selection of of ficials, w ho are supposed to be select ed bv mutual agreement by repre sentatives of both teams. Before the game, Monroe high school Insist ed upon naming the umpire, but were denied this privilege ny louch Murrill of the Charlotte high school. who stated that the officials had al- ( ready been selected, and with the as surance of a fair game, the game was permitted to proceed. Instead of the referee taking his position behind the side In possession of the ball, and the umpire behind the defending side, both of these gentlemen assumed their position on the end of the lines. Practically all of the substitutes Coach Murrill sent In the game com- munlcated with their team-mates be-1 fore a play was executed, and this foul to which the referee and um pire's attention was repeatedly call ed, was totally disregarded. j The criticism of Mr. Orton is re ceived and considered by members of the Monroe nigh school, foot-ball squad as extremely undue and un just, and a very unsportsmanlike act on the part of the gentleman who wrote It, and. if In the opinion of the sporting editor of the Observer, the coach of the Charlotte high school, the officials, and members of the Play-ground commission the re fere? was Just In his derision, it is Indeed difficult to understand their reason for conceding to Monroe taking the ball.
