The kaiaer telegraph* the Kruppa I praising ui« pun rnnr moots seventy miles, sending "my imp*rial thanks for thin achievement of Germun sci ence and labor"—the proud achieve ment being a machine that kills, sev enty miles away, children that have ! not harmed the owner of the gun. Having congratulated the makers of the perfect murder machine the kaiser telU von Ludendorf that he ia grieved | hy the sorrow* of other* and "has been deeply depressed hy the terrific devastation." He adds: "How glad we should be that our country has been sp ired such terrible things." If the energy of the United States could be expressed, as it should be, ia flying machines dropping dynamite, the kaiser would change that particu lar tune. Ynu read of great crowds singing in the Berlin streets celebrat 1 ing Prussian victory. Ten thousand Dying machine over thfir heads would make them celebrate in the cellars, and give the kaiser a chance to do ( 'line grieving at home. I-et us still hope that the fiying ma chines will be made SOME day, and the devastation that touches the kai •er's heart carried into Prussia. The country is slow, but it is not absolute ly petrified and will probably do some i thing some time. Very gay while it lasts is the life of the kaiser, once the sword is drawn and dripping with blood. Dynamite explodes, bullets whistle, but the sa 1cred person handing out the iron crosses and platitudes is at a safe dis tance. He and his family are well ] fed, unhurt. No wonder they think 1 Frederick the Great's father a wise ild man who said that the sword if the king's plaything. For the rest of the world outside of 'he Prussian blood puddle there is no ftood news. The sinking by subm rines are worse than ever. The allies I till fall back—their marvelous cour •ige is the one bright spot. Very inspiring is the calmness and : -ourage of the French, 1ml by the old ! lighter, Clemenceau. Victor Hngo aid when Napoleon III appeared in Lhe hat of the real Napoleon, "It's the | «ame hat, but not the same head." The French know that the Hohen ^ollern they are dealing with has the ame name as the great Frederick - but It isnt the same head. Clemen ceau says contemptuously of the kai I ser's seventy-mile cannon, "It's a po litical cannon." And so it is intended to frighten France with the womler ful things that Germans can do. The kaiser complains of the "ojisti nate English" that refuse to admit defeat when he has defeated them theoretically. He complains also of the obstinate French, "bled white." as he prettily puts it. Those samo Frenchmen, at this moment, are driv ing bayonets into Prussians that will never again see Prussia, and with an energy that indicates a few remaining red corpuscles, 11m sword 18 a very amusing play auuiyHW Every Inch Of An Up-to Date Store SHOES.

Let the 4U Highest, who rails God hi-, partner in murder, and the Crown Prince who no anxious ly waited "for the day," enjoy them-1 selves while they may. Germany in! the long run will take care of them.' They are starving children, killing and 1 maiming millions of men. They will pay the bill, for God is not a Prussian, ami justice does exist. The news from the wast front is 1 pleasant Prussian news just now. But the day is not far distant when the iurziving Hohenzollerns will be working for a living, not playing w.tn the sword. Why Constipation Injuries. The bowels are the natural sewer age system of the body. When they tiecome obstructed by constipation a 1 part of the poisonous matter which they should carry off is absorbed into the system, making you feel dull and stupid, and interfering with the di gestion and assimilation of food. This ■or.dition is quickly relieved by Cham berlain's Tablets. Obtainable every where. NO MAN HAS ANY RIGHT TO INDIVIDUAL OPINION ______ * ' There Should be but one Opin ion; Winning of War De pend* on Unanimity. Charlotte, April 2.—Judge James ■ K. B«yd, of Greensboro made a ring ng i-harge this morning to the federal i;rand jury. Said he: "At this time no man has a right to individual opin ion. There should be but one opinion. The winning of the war largely do I ends on this unanimity of speech as well as act. There are those who will ' tell you that thir it a rich man's war and a poor man's Aght. Whenever a , man tells you that, tell him he U a liar. The rich man must give both ' money nnd service. The poor man has I <>nly one thing to give, himself. The loyalty and duty of the individual I American cannot be too strongly em I phasixed. In my opinion the danger is in the rear, not the front ranks. America is sending the flower of her manhood into battle. No more gal lant soldiers ever marched to the front bat art those in the row doing their I did not believe the German people' were heart and soul in this war, but I wish to retract this. I think that every one of them from the kaiser down is a barbarian. The only way I we are coins to end thia war la over the dead bodies of the German sol diers. The only rood German is a dead German. Which would you rath- ( er do, rive your last dollar now than to b« whipped by the Germans later and then have to pay indemnity that will sweep away all the ill gotten pro its of this war and take your home beside levying a tax for indemnity that will be a burden for years to come? The man who takes advantage of this situation to become rich is as great a traitor as the man who sets (ire to a munition plant." TRUTH TRIUMPHS. Mount Airy Citizens Testify for the Public Benefit. A truthful statement of a Mt. Airy citizen, given in his own words, -hould convince the most skeptical about the merits of Doan's iKdney Tills. If you suffer from backache, nervousness, sleeplessness, urinary disorders or any form of kidney ills, use a tested kidney medicine. A Mount Airy citixen tells of Doan's Kidney Pilf*. Could you demand more convinc ing proof of merit? R. II. Newton, 1M Lebanon St., say* "I have always found Doan's Kidney Pill* all th.it is claimed for them. I recommend them to anyone who is in need of a good, reliable kidney medi cine. Whenever my Kidneys have been ut of order I have taken Doan's Kid ney Pills and it require* only a few | doses to make my kidneys act right." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills—the aame that Mr. Newton had. Fos tor- Milbum Co.. Mfgra., Buffalo, N. Y. THE SPIRIT THAT WILL WIN THE WAR Raleigh, March *th—Kvtdic— of the patriot*** of the great body of ly appearing. No more ringingly pa triotic and inspiring communication has come inta the office of the North Carolina Food Administration than a letter from Mr. Walter Rand, a pro minent farmer of Gamer. Every word of Mr. Rand's letter ia worth re producing. Here it ia: "Mr. H. A. Page, Raleigh. N. C. •Dear Sir: "I saw in yesterday's paper that the breadstuff of the French soldiers had been cut on account of the wheat shortage. I have about 60 bushels of fine wheat (railed on my farm) that the government can have at their own figure* delivered anywhere they say at any time. I have about 75 acre* in wheat this year and as soon a* that is cut they can have every grain of it except enough to plant another year. We will eat corn bread and guarantee not to use one dust of flour." "Yours very truly, "WALTER RAND." Needless to say Mr. Page was high ly pleased with Mr. Rand's letter. "This is the spirit that will win the war," he declared.
