The recent Monarchial coupe has failed and the Manchu dynasty seems end ed for good. The efforts of this sleep ing giant to right herself is attract ing the attention of the whole world, and the leading democracies of the world are doing all possible to point the way for struggling China. MR. KITCHIN MISREPRESENTED. Says the Concord Tribune: Recently some manufacturers from the West wrote to the Man ufacturers' Record of Baltimore, r a letter in which the following statement was made: "Mr. Kitchir. has told a number of Northern manufacturers in a very emphatic manner that he proposes to see that Northern manufacturers pay for the war." The Record wrote to Congress man Kitchin asking hm if there is any foundation for such a state ment, and Mr. Kitchin in his re ply says: "You ask whether there is any foundation for such a state ment. There is aboslutely . no foundation for such a state- ment. I never entertained such a thought or sentiment in my . life, nor have I ever exprassed in the faintest way any such senti ment or thought. It is a false hood out of the whole cloth. I do not believe there is any Nor thern manufacturer or living man that would say that I ever told him or intimated to him in any way any statement in any way akin to the one above referred to." This statement has been made more that once. It has been repeatedly made, that Mr. Kitchin was deter mined to make the North pay the taxes and we are glad to see that a denial is emphatically made. Such smallness never gets to the position occupied by Mr. Kitchin. RELIEF NOT IN SIGHT FOR PAPER. The publishers of the United States have employed an expert paper man. Early in the fight for life, some months ago the publishers found that Whenever You Need a Qeneral Tonic Take drove's The Old Standard Grove's Tastele9f chill Tonic is equally valuable aa a General Tonic because it contains the well known tonic properties of QUININE and IRON.

The service rendered by Mr. Mclntire has been most valuable. The .fight for newsprint paper has been a very seri ous one and the- public knows but lit tle of it, though much has been said in public print. The fight is not over and win not be for some timfc, and for many months yet the publishers of newspapers must bear grievous bur dens. In addressing the .Southern Publishers at Asheville the other day, Mr, mciaura saiu wiau teujuyuxaj? lief would come through federal con trol, and permanent relief come" only by increasing the capacity of the manufacturing plants. PLAYING WITH A VITAL ISSUE. 'The Charlotte Observer says that as Nero fiddled while Rome burned, so Congress dawdles while the food speculator grows rich on robber prices. True, and the American people seem indifferent. The newspapers have protested and urged action, but the great American sentiment that moves all sorts of mountains remains passive. There ought to be ten mil lion telegrams sent to Washington which would build fires under political playing members of Congress causing them to act and act quickly. This great war measure, one of the most vital of all such is and has been hang ing for weeks, while millions of mouthfuls of food are withheld by the speculator and htese Un-American barons growing richer each passing day. It is hard to understand who some of the supposedly biggest men of the nation will play politics while the nation pay so dearly for their ac tion. There are some men in congress who ought to be conscripted for the trash pile. INDICATING A STREAK OF "YALLER." Washington, is reputed to be full of lobbyists. Hotels are said to be crowded and many of the fellows are holding on to reservations even though they leave the city for days. The great activity is caused ty inter est in the food control bill and the war revenue bill, each of which has been given congress a great deal of worry. The food control bill ought to have been signed by the President ! long before this good dav. The delay '. , j i 4.1. has been caused by opposition to the I .bill by Congressmen and by the de sire of members to ride a pet scheme that the bill the House passed is crude and needs revision, and the money is hot pressing for a day only, but for many months, and the ability of the country to raise money, continue bus iness and adequately support the war is a matter of the gravest concern Therefore the congress does will to go slow enough to assure justice. Sen ator Simmons is doing the country a great service in revising this. bill, and while the discussion is serious and im portant the lobbying at Washington has become most unbecoming. Sena tor Overman should be authorized to get his sharp stick that did good ser vice some years ago and drive out some of the lobbying gents. Then the country ought to condemn the unpa triotic acts of those members of con gress who are playing cheap politics with the grave question of food con servation. The country is now given a fine opportunity to take the real measure of men at Washington. The war is turning the search light on character in America and some al ready disclosures indicates an ex tremely wide and lengthy streak of "yaller." TIME FOR DRAWING THE LINE. The day is too serious to be deal ing gently with dangerous agitators. Emma Goldman and other anarchists should all be given the severest pun ishment and these I. W. W. agitators are not much better than the Gold mans. This is no time to be per mitting any one to say any old thing and do anything that appeals to them. This is a time for all who pretend to be Americans -to be Americans, one hundred percent Americans. The federal government ought to deal with individuals as they deserve. Spies and un-American agitators who are dealt with in the light of their offense will behave the better and re spect the government the more by a good wholesome lesson in obedience to proper authority. In ordinary times people ought to respect law and order and live the lives of good citizens, but. now when the life of the nation is threatened and the government needs every support it asks, folks in Ameri ca should act as becomes good Amer icans or leave the country. Food speculators ought to be treat ed as criminals and not as decent cit izens. Anarchists ought to be deal with as lawless anarchists, viscious agitators ought to be dealt with as such undesirables should be and spies and aliens tied hand and foot that they may have no possible chance to do harm. Then the thoughtless talk er who trots about over the country i'talking anti-American," belittling ey- erything AmeEican and "praising Ger many and all' her murderous acts ought to be treated as a common ene my, regardless of his former preten tions. It is time for public sentiment to condemn, to classify, and to set the stamp of disapproval onfall activities that do not spell loyal Americanism. SHOWING THAT IN I'NIOX IS STRENGTH. ICharlotte lands the army camp. Hapd work and determination did it. We would say that in the beginning Charlotte stood small chance, but she enlarged the chance and fought to a, finish. That is the way to gt things. The only way for a city, a community to get things is to take off coats, all coats and go after the desired thing. The secret of the success in such undertakings is due to the fact 'that determination bottoms all the activi ties, and a united and well directed work produces the results. In union is strength, and union is necessary. A divdied people get nothing done. Factions accomplish nothing. Now and then one faction whips out an other ,and seizes something already at hand, but factions and divisions never brought any thing to a town or community and never established any iwo-nth while industry. This is no de batable question. From the day of Adam to this good hour communities have gone forward on a policy of un ion and co-operation and communities have stood and stagnated through a lack of union. The selfish faction is based on narrow visioned policies and result in getting nothing done. Every time community joins hands and goes out and gets some thing for the community the world is given a concrete lesson in co-operation and shown that in no other way can such be done. Salisbury needs to learn this les son more closely than ever before. This community needs to lay aside things that hinder and hold it back and unite for a common purpose, a fixed goal and when this is done we will do more, get more and advance far more. This is the spirit that does things. The contrary sp'it leads to a stagnation process that injures, if not kills, any community. GERMAN SPIES AND OTHER TROUBLEMAKERS. The spy is causing much trouble just now, many important things are leaking, and will continue to leak until some one is caught and a few necks are broken. It has been shown that small and insignificant newspapers in Switzerland are getting long news cables from correspondents in this country,, papers that could not afford such and never did until war came What does it mean? That these news messages are carrying information to the enemy. Commenting on this the New York Herald says: "It would seem as though some great disaster were necessary to force upon Congress a realization of the war problems which con front us. An illustraton of the blindness of the House is given by the fact that upon the declara tion of Representative Mann of -what he calls the 'ridiculoikjinpss' of the national alarm over Ger man plotters the spy provision of the trading with the enemy bill was stricken out." The Manufacturers Record shows how women are coming across from Canada to Washington, spending a few days on a pretext of visiting friends, but gathering valuable infor mation and getting it to the enemy Of these agents a Washington dis patch says: "It is understood here that wo men young and pretty women have been the most successful of the German agents in this coun try. It is learned that the De partment of Justite has under suspicion a number of young women who pose as students, so cial leaders and even invalids. These women are believed to have been largely responsible for such of the information which has gone out of this country." We agree with the Record that the government is too lenient with spies, aliens, agitators and disturbers. We quote from the Record: "In this dispacth it is stated that the President has been loath to take drastic action against alien Germans in the United States to restrain them. In this President Wilson has made a ser ious mistake. They should be restrained. We are in war. We are not engaged in diplomatic correspondence. We are at war with an enemy desperate and de termined, which has for fifty years been training for the pres ent situation. We are in a" war which will tax every power of our nation to win, and failure to take drastic action against the alien Germans in this country means the death of many an American soldier and sailor. It may be hard to deal in drastic ways with these alien Germans, but the lives of our people are at stake, and the life of our nation as well. More - over, there are many men and women of German descent, claim ing to be Americans, who are ready at any moment to betray this country, and they should be -ns -drastically restrained as the rankest German alien." The policy of the administration seems to be to make good citizens of those who are displaying poor citi zenship. A high up official of the Federal government 50 statea to 'this writer some days ago. THsi all (very good, in some cases. There are peo ple who talk indiscretly through is- jnorance, and the proper enlighten ment Drinks them right, but the vis cious and alien enemies are not of this class.

GERMANS ARJ3 SJSNTT , TO TAKE BAGDAD -my Under Genera) von Falkenhayn. On Way to Mgppotamian Front (New York World () Persons in. a. nosition to sneak with authority, who hav a returned, recently from Constantinople, say Qeneral von Falkenhayn, with a German, army, gently passed, through the Turkish capital on his way to the Mesopo tamian front 'above Bagdad, to reor ganize the Turkish forces in that region and launch a new offensive whose design is to recapture the city of Haroun-al-Rasehid from the. Brit ish, who took it March 11. Falkenhayn is one of the greatest strategists in the German army. He succeeded von Moltke as Chief . of Staff early in the war the position later assumed by Hindenburg. Many critics attribute the success of the Roumanian offensive to his leader ship, although Mackensen got most of the credit. Constantinople circles expect his arrival on the Mesopo tamia front to change the whole situation there. It was reported Monday that the Turks had driven the Russians above Bagdad back across the Persian border. Strong Drink and Death Knell. (Washington Star.) From an interview given in New York by Senator Weeks of Massachu setts : " ':Do you believe that the death knell of strong drink has been sound ed?' " 'Well, that is a question I prefer not to answer, but if you press me I will say that I believe it has been sounded.' "'Would it have come any way?' "'I don't think so. I think the war has brought about something we would not otherwise have Iiad, for years at least.' " There is considerable speculation in political, business and religious cir cles on this point. Some opinions ex pressed are in agreement with the opinion of the Bay State senator. Other opinions are not so confident. O death knell means death "for keeps," and the present proposition as to strong drink refers only to the war. Death to Col. Barleycorn is not de creed, but only suspended animation while hostilities last A wide belief obtains that after thefl war closes the friends of the colonel will make a "drive" for his restora tion to full life and strength again. He is at once a tough and a popular customer. He has always been able to command a great deal of money. He has always paid large dividends. His eye is keen for the main chance. He operates without regard to any thing but money values. It is for this reason that the foes of whisky men who really want its death knell sounded are, while "busy wit hthe present problem, concerned about the future. If they could, they would, right now, put strong drink on the black list for all time. But even if that could be, and were, done, there would be no protection against future activities of men freindly to the strong drink traffic. They would still make their fight for a return to the old order. Old cries, "personal liberty" leading, would be renewed, and an effort made to elect a President and a Congress favorable to old popular indulgences. It will be found that eternal vigi lance is the price of sobriety. What ever, much or little, may be won in that behalf now cannot be reatined without an effort. Col. Barleycorn has numerous followers and retainers, who know their leader's voice and obey his orders. At best it will be a long fight keeping out after putting out a force so well equipped with the sinews of war, so well disciplinsd, and so eager to return to "pickings" rich in money lures, and to a life full of excitement of political and other sorts. Vote for Indian Women. Bemidji, Minn., July 12. After re fusing chiefs of the tribe represen tation in their cousil on the ground that the modern Indians are demo crats and not monarchists, Minnesota Chippewa Indians in council here to day gave the suffrage to women.' m The fight revolved about Cora Coffey, a stenographer, 23 years old, employed by the United States gov ernment at the Fond du Lac reserva tion, who is the solitary woman dele gate. Older Indian objected to her being seated on the ground that the innovation was Sangerous. "Equal rights," however, were championed by the younger element, which is in control. One of the interesting characters at the convention is Capt, John Smith of Cass Lake, who is said to be 129 years old. LUCKY They arrived hurriedly at the fifth inning.

In- a? garden whr v roses are horn ing Wlhere the -dewdrops like crystals are grea'mihg; Where the whispering wings of' the morning - Gently w&ke every, soul from it the tinkling fountains are spraying, Where light-hearted lovers are stray- iug And there's laughter of children a-playing; That's, where the road begins. In a place where the red sun is set- ing, Where hot sands lay smouldering, and burning; Where a man would like his past be forgetting While regrets are, in numbers, re turning. Where a traveler's the worse for his learning, Where the fleshpots and gold they're spurning; And there's sadness and yearning and yearning That's where the road ends! But, between its beginning and end ing And the vices of fairies are blend ing There's a dell where the thrushes are singing; Through the woodland Jheir music is ringing; Where the nests in the treetrops are swinging, Where the bees to the blossons are clinging, Where peace on the soft wind comes wingling; And weary travelers rest. BECAUSE HE'S MY FRIEND. He may be six kinds of a liar He may be ten kinds of a fool; He may be a blooming high flyer Without any reason or rule. There may be a shadow above him Of ruin and woes that impend; I may not respect but love him I love him, because he's my friend. I know he has faults by the billion, But his faults are a portion of him know that his record's vermilion, He's far from a sweet seraphim But he's alway been square with Yours Truly, Ever ready to give or to lend, And though he is wildS and unruly I love him, because he's my friend. I knock him, I know; but I do it The same to his face as away; And if other folks knock well, they rue it, And wish they'd had nothing to say, I never make diagrams of him, No maps of his soul have I penned; For I don't analyze I just love him, Because well, because he's my friend. Inland Printer. Children and Dogs. (Asheville Times.) Speaking of dogs also reminds of children. Nine states in the Union tax dogs in order to educate children. They derive from this source annual revenues for their school funds rang ing from $30,000 in Rhode Island to 210,000 in Michigan. In South Caro lina the dog license tax fund is around $65,000 a year, and in Virginia about $90,000. An effective dog tax law is state wide, but the revenues are retained within each county and applied direct ly to county common-school support. A law of this sort brings home to each man in the county the issue of Dogs versus Children, and gives the heft of the argument to those who set higher value on children than on dogs. If a man is rich enough to keep dogs now-a-days, he is certainly rich enough to pay school taxes liberally. Besides the homes that have the most dogs usually have the largest number of children to be educated, and the fathers that pay the heaviest dog tax would reap the largest benefit in schooling for their children. Twenty-two counties in North Car olina had dog license taxes in 1916, and derived revenues ranging from less than $10 in New Hanover to more than $2,000 in Alamance, Forsyth, Halifax and Pitt. These counties would all do well to enforce the law more stringently and turn the revenues into the county school funds. After, all, people love children bet ter than they love dogs. Since 1908 we have had about 1,500 patients in our Pasteur Institute in Raleigh trying to save their lives from the bite of mad dog. And mark you, these patients are mostly women and children. All told, the expenses for travel and treatment cost the victims and their families some $25, 000 year by year in North Carolina to say nohting of the deaths and the agony of suffering and suspense. We vote for Children versus Dogs. Not that we love dogs less, but chil dren more. IN THE COUNTRY Summer boarder Does this tree produce a lot of peaches yf Farmer1 Narry a one.

MORE HOSPITALS GREAT NEED Hospital Treatment More Economical Effective TAan Home Trea ment County Hospitals Needed. According to medical experts, mqre hospitals and hospital beds must be at once fee provided by this country if it would not only save human life and much money that is wasting fox lack of such care, but 11 it would adequate ly prepare to meet that day when its hospitals will be overrun witn sick and wounded soldiers and its civilian life left without care. As it is now too many of oUr people are without hospital facilities. They may have to go 16n distances Which requires time and money. Often treatment is had too late. For this- reason treatment, is often deferred altogether. Thus for lacik) of easy hospital treatment, health is neglected and valuable hu man lives are wasted. Figures show that hospital treat ment of the sick is not only more ef fective for cure but that it is far more economical than home care. Homes were adjusted on the basis ff well people; hospitals on the basis of sick people. It is believed that states and counties can so bring hospital facili ties to. their people that no person shall lack for medical treatment, and, that this can be done on a far more economic basis than some states and communities are now adopting, as is the case of this state, for instance. There is a disposition on the part of the people of North Carolina, says the State Board of Health, to go long distances to other states for hospital treatment, instead of providing effi cient hospitals, in their own State, near their own homes. This is a great waste. Much money is spen, much time is wasted, to say nothing of the lives lost on account of delay ed treatment, and as a further and a more significant consequence, such in convenience renders it impossible .for the greater number of those who would be most benefitted by hospital treatment to have it. As to the size of a hospital or the number of beds needed by a commu nity, it has been estimated by the Modern Hospital that 500 beds for ev ery 100,000 inhabitants would be suffi cient to treat all necessary cases of illness. This estimate is based on the sickness survey recently made in North Carolina and Rochester, New York, which found that almost 3 per cent of all the people were sick throuhgout the year. About two per cent were found sick abed needing hospital treatment. But the first re quirement necessary for a county or community hospital, says the Board, is community pride that disposition that will not look elsewh'ere or go elsewhere for the things that can be had at home and made as good as any in the country. Goldman and Berkman. (Washington Post.) Emma Goldman and Alexenader Berkman were convicted so quickly after the prolong taking of testimony and delivery of arguments that the public is distinctly reassured on the score of 'efficacy of the laws a&ainst seditious utterances and actions. These two people have been plagues for many years. They have formed centers of anti-government agitation and have spread the poison of their pernicious doctrine among thousands. Berkman himself has a reeord of at tempted assassination. Emma Gold man has been in the front of every il legal activity aimed at the establish ed order in this country for a quar ter of a century. She has been jail ed several times, but aiways returns to her agitation upon release. There is now happily a prospect that she may be deported, though she claims American citizenship through her father's application. Berkman is a Russianwith no right to remain if the government orders his deporta tion. The turning out if these two people upon the expiration of their terms of imprisonment would be a blessing to America. Change in Requirements.

Several million dollars have been brought into the .State this year by the fine crop of Irish potatoes in Eastern North Car olina. Despite the adaptability of the (State for the growing of potatoes, however, tens of thousands of bushels have been imported from the East ern and Central- Western States every fall and winter by North Carolina consumers. The Agricultural Exten sion (Service, the State Food Conser vation Commission and other forces working for food production and bet ter agriculture in the State are en deavoring to secure such an increase in the acreage of late potatoes as will keep at home this year and here after the several hundred thousand dollars that usually pay for import ed "supds," at the same time relieve the transportation systems to as great an extent as posscible, and re lieve also the food situation in the North during the coming fall and winter. Irish potatoes may be planted as late as August 15th. Some planters have succeeded even when the seed ing was later than that date. Where the seed are sprouted before putting into the ground, the small potatoes or culls from the first crop may be used successfully. The second crop is not as certain as the spring crop, but if the soil receives the proper prepara tion and the seasons are fair it is very profitable. Fall Irish potatoes are more easily kept during the winter when they are harvested under favor able conditions than are sweet pota toes. Because of the demand for infor mation regarding the growing of sec ond crop potatoes and the desirabili ty of increasing the acreage of this crop the Agricultural Extension Ser vice has just issued a circular which is available to those who are interest ed in the crop. .This circular is No. 49 and may be secured without, cost from the Agricultural Extension Ser vice, Raleigh, N. C. CHANGE IN RECRUITING REGULATION DISCUSSED. Reasonable Modification in Require ments is Favored in Report to Army Officers. Washington, July 11. Army re cruiting officers are serioulsy consid ering the advisability of changing the recruiting requirements by reducing the minimum height from five feet four inches to five feet one inch, and, correspondingly, the minimum weight from 128 to 120 pounds. A committee on anthropology of the na tional research council recently made an exhaustive study of the subject and reported in favor of a reasonable modification of the requirements. The report points out that many European nationalities, most of which are well represented in this country, have an average height of two, three or four inches shorter than that of Americans of small statures, signify ing normal variation, according to racial differences rather than degen eration. The Russo-Japanese war showed conclusively to every military expert that the small man may be made into a magnificently capable soldier. The average Jap appears physically insig nificant alongside the burly Russian, but his :fighting qualities are in no way inferior. Less marked is the physical difference between the French and Germans, but the latter are decidedly the larger men. When it comes to individual fighting, how ever, the Marne, Verdun and other battlefields have proved the superior ity of the' French over their Teutonic enemies. The English "bajitam reg iments," which are composed entirely of men under the original height re quirements, are also said to have shown conclusively that size is not es sential in a soldier. IOWA LED U. S. IN NUMBER OF CARS PER CAPITA. One Car for Every Eleven Persons in That State California Second With One for Every Twelves Washington, D. C, July 11. Iowa led the United States in 1916 in the number of motor cars registered in proportion to population. She had one car for every 11 persons. Cali fornia was a close second with one car to every 12 persons. Nebraska and South Dakota had one for every 13. Arkansas could show 1 for every 115- The average for the United States is one car for every 29 per sons, according to figures presented by the office of public roads, United States department of agricultui'e, in Circular' 73rt "Automobile Registra tion, Licenses and Revenues in the United States, 1916." If the abolition of murder were up for discussion in Congress, it would probably take the members six weeks to dispose of it, so cautious are they to avoid a moral issue. JKansas City Star.
