Wfar iHr- G""''eld this Jared "Ior W years and, is -me w!" 10 6 right ahead iJX J 'HERE SHALL THE "America First." In this world all nations are striving for supremacy. Each wants to be first, to outrank .the others and to put something over on the others in the easiest way possible for itself. Let us face the facts rather than cherish delusions to our own undoing; there is less idealism among governments than among individuals. The man who does not see this elementary truth is either a blind fool or an arrant knave. The man who does not take account of it in his dealings is bound to be made a fool of. For us American? let the word be "America First." Any nation that takes offense at it is no friend of ours, nor of the truth that is in us. Other nations may not let us know how much they want to be first. It is diplomacy to get what you want while tne other fellow sleeps. But are we sleeping while some one else is engaged in the manly art of "Watchful waiting?" ' Americans will watch till death for America's sake. They are not ignorant of the elements of human nature. The nations show only too well that they have not suffered a change of heart. The diplomats want all they can get for nothing and when given an inch, they will take an ell. The leopaid does not change his spots though men may be simple enough to call spots something else. Any man who tries to tie the bands of America and to limit its liberties and possibilities is untrue to America. The higher tiis office the greater the error or wrong he has committed and the more severe should be his punishment at the bands of all true Americans. Now more than ever is there need of that eternal vigilance which is the price of liberty. We want no hyphens or hyphenates. Again and again forever, "Amer ica First." W. S. IRWIN, in National Republican. Colds Cause Grip and Influenza LAXATIVE BROMO QUININE Tablets remove the cause. There is only one "Bromo Quinine." E.W. GROVE'S signature on box. 30c. The Volunteer Atlas. Walt Mason says in a recent sonnet: ' v "Atlas, I fear that Uncle Sam will be, in future years, kept busy dofng peeler's work in both the Hemispheres; when not suppressing reds at homp, who would o'erthrow the law. he'll have to chase the red abroad, and soak him. in the jaw; he'll have to help out ten cent kings and jack up sagging thrones, and every fifteen minutes he must blow a million bones. The nations all have come to look on Uncle Sam as one who works the scales ol justice and looks on the job as fun. I should be prpnd of this, no doubt, but I'm a moss back jay, and I regret the bygone times, the old contented way, when Uncle Sam was satisfied to run our native land, and warble 4Hail Columbia,' an eagle in each hand."

PRESS, THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN; UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND MOCKSVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY. MAY 21, 1919. His Busy Day. One ot the busy days of a scion of the McCoys, of old Kentucky, was set forth in a citation of Pri. vate Pete McCoy, contained in a bulletin issued 6y the war depart ment. Specifically, this busy day was September 29, 1918, and was in the vicinity of Bellicourt, France, where was a part of the Hindenburg line before the Yaul$ and the Tommies and the Anzacs tore it up. Here is the citation: "Private Pete McCoy, Company 2, 120th Infantry For extraordi nary heroism in action near Belli court, France. September 29, 1918. Unexpectedly encountering seven of the enemy, Private McCoy, single handed, killed all of them with his bayonet and hand gre nade. As a result of this feat he captured four hostile machine gun emplacements and took seventeen prisoners out of a dugout nearby. "Upon advancing further he found a wounded officer, whom he sent to the rear in charge of anoth er soldier, and continued on to the objeotife. "Home address, Harrison Mc Coy, father, Thomas, Kentucky.', Do Your Best. Everyone should do all he can to pro vide for his family and in order to do this he must keep his physical system in the best condition possible. No one can reas onably hope to do much when he is half sick a good share of the time. If you are constipated, bilious or troubled with in digestion get a package of Chamberlain's Tablets and follow the plain printed di rections, and you will soon be feeling al right and able to do a day's work. Officers Destroy Many Stills And Material. Blockade Stills have been faring bad for the past few days, but from information we have, officers will have to cut up a good many more before they can even be misu sed in some sections. We will bet this printing office against one thrift stamp that no less than 1,000 gallons of whiskey has passed in front of this office since we printed last week on its way to the bigger cities. Revenue officers Frank Folger and J. E. Shugarfc went over near Lone Hickory Siturdiy and des troyed a still in full blast a few hundred yards from the home of Marion Reavis. They say 1,000 gallons ot beer was poured out, and other property destroyed. One man was sitting watching the thing run, and then he run. Monday they went back in the same section and found two more outfits except the stils themselves. At one place they say was about 300 gallons of beer and at the oth er 900 gallons. Sunday morning Sheriff Zachary and Constable Howell went over towards Courtney acd found a still that had been running for some time. The still had just been re moved from a burning furnace. Tais was on the lands of Shuford Hutchens,'but no one was present. All that was left was destroyed. Yadkin Ripple.

Adams proposes that all senators who do not agree with PresideLt Wilson be deported as undesirables and dangerous citi zens. This is only a slight project ion of the Wilsonian system of "democracy," as exemplified in the intolerance and terrorism prac ticed against all political opposition in the section of the country he and his associates so typically rp resent. and a3 even better illus trated by the J rotzkys and Lenines of the other side. The custom of Dixie Democracy foi j.ears has been to prescribe and persecute the man who does not agree with the ruling oligarchy, , to disfran chise him either legally or by force, and to "run him out" if he 'per sists in having opinions of his own. We have merely had tnausferred to Washington the "red shirt 7 spirit tnat has been dominating the sooth tor years, and which would have been completely en throned at Washington if the peo pie had not gone to the polls in November last and administered a a rebuke which evidently has not yet penetrated the hides of the bourbons. National Republican. Burleson. New York World. Albert Sydney Burleson, post master general of the United States is the heaviest burden that Presi dent Wilson has to carry. He has done more to discredit the admin istration and the Democratic party than all its professed enemies com bined. As n counsellor to the president he has been a continually uii'fchievotis influence. As an ad ministrator he has stirred up more popular discontent than -all the bolshevist and I. w .

Pittsburg, April 25. Dr. S. J. Fife .a railroad physician, had pro no.unced dead a man who had been struck by a train, so W. F. Rus sell, a Bridgeville undertaker, was notified to get the body. Russell, with a helper, drove to the scene of the accident and was lifting the b )dy into, the basket when the "corpse" emitted a hoarse 4 'Hoo o Hoo o! in realistic imitation of a steamboat whistle. Russell and his assistant drop ped the basket.- C lining up the liver!" ejacuia ted the corpse. "Hoo o o!" "For the love of Gabriel!' ex ploded Russell. His assistant be gan running away. But the undertakers wagon was there to get a body, so the "body" was put into it, but was taken to Jtfercy Hospital instead of Russell's mortuaiv establishment. The "corpse" in the meantime dropped vagrant remarks. All this happened near Bridge villfi last Saturdav. The "dead man," whose skull had been frac tured, died, again Tuesday night and the body now i3 in the county morgue. A card in a pocket indi cates his name was James White Readers Like Happy Endings.

SUPERVISOR STATES THE FACTS Brooks Says Tanlac Has Overcome His Troubles Feels Like A New Man. "My wife obtained such satisfac tory results from Tanlac that I tried it myself and 1 have gained ten pounds and feel like a new man," said J. W. Brooks, traffic superin tendent for the Western Union Tele graph Co. at Dallas, Tex., and living at 1732 Hickory street, that citv. 'When I began taking Tanlac' he continued, "I was suffering from a stubborn case of stomach trouble, the result of an attack of acute in digestion I had several years ago. I had an awful pain across my back, and was so nervous and worried about my kidneys that I could hard ly sleep at all. I suffered from rheumatism in my legs, my feet would swell and I tired and lan guid all the time. I was badly run down, lost weight, strength and en ergy and none of the medicines 1 took did me any good "After using Tanlac for a' short time I began to pick up and keptjm- proving till now my rheumatism is all gone, the pains have disappeared from my back and my kidneys don't worry me like they did. 'I have a fine appetite and can eat anything I want without suffering at all from indigestion, my sleep is sound and restful and I get up in the morning feeling fine." "Tanlac is sold by leading drug- gists everywhere." ADVERTISEMENT People weep much over the wrongs that have never been com mitted against them and are not gnng to be.

The above fact alone plainly shows why we can afford to price our Hats cheaper. Looking at the Hats and see ing the plain PRICE will show to you much plainer why we sell so many HATS. Remember please, that we spec ialize on Suits and Hats exclusive ly and sell for spot cash which is another reason why we sell for less. ... Boyles Brothers . Trade Street Winston-Salem - NUMBER 45 One Was LefL A year and a half ago four young men pledged themselves in the county court, Brooklyn, N. Y., to return to the court's 'jurisdiction to answer charges ot grand larceny as soon as they finished .fighting the Germans. A few days ho three ot them appeared. The fourth, I hey said, hud answered to a higher tribuual. They left him in France beneath a plain wood croNS. In the court room with them was an elderly man who woie a mourning band on his sleeve acd who apologized for the absence of his son, James, by saying that he had been killed in action. All the boys enlisted a few months after this country entered the war. On a lark one night thry took an automobile without the permiss-iou of the owuer and went joy riding. When arraigned on charge of grand larceny their cases were postponed until after the war. They were allowed to enter pleas of guilty and were dismissed by the court. That's Different Again. Uncle Joe Cannon, during his visit with constituents in Illinois, says that he found them in favor of the League of - Nations because they had been fed on propaganda which led them to believe it would stop war. "But when you talked to them about drafting their boys or askiDg them to volunteer to put down trouble over in the Balkans, why h , they urejust naturally against it."
