"Turkey ia good any old day, if you can afford it" re- marked the esteemed Raleigh Times. Well isn't it let ' tor if you can't afford it? a Today there will begin a system of constant reminders of the European war. The tax stamps will be in evidence and for awhile a fellow will not know just when he is ex pected to contribute a cent or two to Uncle Sam's deficit 1 Awfully glad for some folk's sake that the new war tax was not imposed on local telephone calls. There would be some discontinued lines after the first month when the "old man" got his first bill plus the revenue tax. The United States Supreme Court has affirmed the right ' of congressional committees to make witneHses talk. This will be unwelcome newa to some of the "big business" : magnates, who have been escaping "telling what they ! know" to the "impertinent" representatives of the people. . . The American Thanksgiving spirit was in evidence in Vienna Thursday at the American Embassy, when Mrs. Penfield, wife of the Ambassador, prepared and had din ner served to more than eighteen hundred war victims. ' Two hundred of the beneficiaries of the American hospi tality were Russian wounded. , Says the Richmond News-Leader: "They are making machines in Chicago to dig gravea for the dead on Euro pean battle fields. Which is almost as gruesome as the manufacture of impaling machines in France, for Chinese consumption." Useless to employ any such machines when one of those shells will dig graves enough for a whole army. . , a "Chief Croker's "infant" bride says It's the height of an Indian girl's ambition to capture a chief, and she thinks she has caught a real live one. Old Richard was a eock-of-the-walk a few years ago, but his claws have been pulled out by the roots, and he doesn't possess the quail ties of "a real chief" nowadays. Another case of Winter capturing Spring. a A spiritualist preacher up in Worcheater, Massachu setts, has adopted a brand new advertising stunt, lie has complained to the police that the love-sick maidens and their "anxious and over-sealous" mamas are becom ing a great annoyance to him. It is needless to suy that the police have quite a problem in handling such an array of poor fools as the pursued and pursuers evidently are. officers of the French Army, who were in German hos pitals at Metx and expressed his hopefulness that, despite the present cruel circumstances separating his people from their neighbors, he expects to see some day the two countries "united by ties of sincere fricndHhip." It is to be hoped that the German Emperor's wish may come true, and that at no distant day; but alas I it is to be feared that there will be many a day after this cruel war is history before the people of the several countries will feel safe in making those binding ties, which have in this war been so ruthlessly and cruelly torn asunder. German men will hesitate to set up shop and marry French women in Paris and French men will remember their German wives and children who had to be forsaken and left to the mercy of the "enemy." That agency, which makes brothers lay in wait to destroy brothers, and calls upon husbands to turn guns upon their adopted homes, where their defenseless wives and children are still abiding, will destroy the feeling of brotherly kind liens which has existed between these people, and make it difficult to re-establish it. The scars that are being made with cannon today will be visible for generations. Children Cry for Fletcher's Hm& - l v .". TV sr 'Www i LET ILLITERACY BE BANISHED The Virginia Educational Conference, in session in Richmond, went on record as favoring the abolishment of illiteracy in the State. Compulsory education was endorsed, longer school terms advocated and better equip ped teachers for the one-room country school-houses. The campaign against illiteracy should be vigorously waged in every southern state and throughout the Union, where the boys and girls arc not being educated. There has been a very decided progress in the matter of edu cating the rural youth in the South of recent years. The people of the rural South are of the best blood that flows In the veins of Americans. They arc capable of higher education, and they should be given every advantage that enlightened methods can afford. It is indeed a sad spec tacle to see a half-grown boy or girl, otherwise proper ly developed, but without mental training to equip them for life's duties. It is a blot on the South that for so so long ber sons and daughters have been permitted tola bridge.

The six months school term lor rural schools is as short as educated people (should be willing to make it and the day when the rural boy and girl would enjoy a full nine months term should be the goal of those inter ested in the proper training and development of the youth. The preparation of the youth of today is but making the destiny of the Nation for the years that arc to come, "Let illiteracy be routed" be the slogan, and let every man and woman in the Old North State work to the end that North Carolina youth mny take their places as a whole at the top of the ladder, as their ability to occupy such positions has been demonstrated by the comparatively few chances that have been given. The Krupp gun works in Germany are increasing their capacity to turn out more and larger fighting machines. Mews comes from the Steel Mills at Birmingham, Ala., of the placing of an ordor for an immense wheel to be used in the plant of the great gun factory. Work is to be rushed on the wheel and its shipment made as quickly as possible. The response accorded the appeal made for the war sufferers, through the Committee of Mercy, has, so far as the numticr of contributors is concerned, not been as liberal as was hoped this worthy cause might elicit. The suffering of the victims of war's carnage is becoming more and more acute, and the call of humanity justifies every contribution that can be made to alleviate the con ditions which have wrecked the lives and homes of count less numbers. Let Kinston not fall behind her quota in this very urgent appeal.

If such glowing accounts as this keep coming we shull find ourselves hur rahing for militarism." ; WOULD CERTAINLY DISQUALIFY A FULL ' PANEL Wilmington Star: "A weulthy Chicago man was tried n court for flirting with a pretty girl. All men who ac :nowledgcd that they admire a pretty girl were denied a seat on the jury for the fear they would sympathize with the defendant. They might get a jury like that in Chicago, but in North Carolina we don't know of even a clothing dummy that would think of being u juryman in that tusc." THE KAISERS HOPEFULNESS ' Kaiser Wilhelm is reported to have visited wounded RAHF. FOR II.WK CONSUMPT.ON Rock Hill (S. C.) Herald: "The war in Europe has hardly made a beginning. During the next twelve months prac tically all the men of Germany, Russia, France, and prob ably a majority of the men of the British Islands, will be engaged in fighting. The real menace of luck of food sup plies wil' then begin to he felt in these countries, and they turn to the United States for food. Then prices of grain and meat will soar to heights never before dreamed of. If Southern farmers do not raise grain, hogs and cattle during j the next twelve months, they and every other class of peo ple in the South arc going to have ample cause to regret their .short-sightedness."
