TUESDAY, NOV. 4, 1918. RIPPLING RHYMES. By Walt Mason. Rejuvenating. The man who toils the longhours throurli (roes home at close of day; he is so sore in every thew, so weary, all he hopes to do is just to hit the hay. He says to Ma and old dog Shep, when he has deached his chair, "My work has robbed me of my pep; I wouldn't take another step, to be a iiillionaire. Just hand me here the 4laily sheet, so I may scan the news " and then to slumber deep and sweet I'll drag my aching, swallen. feet, now sticking to my shoes.' He redas awhile and then he cries, "Great Scott, Maria Jane! The way we soak those Prus sian guys! The fur of Kaiser Wil helm flies! Hand me my hat and cane! I'll have to go and see the boys, and talk the war news o'er, and make a glad triumphant nose; a batch of new like this destroys that feel ing tired and sore, I may be home by 10 o'clock, I may be home by or.e; 'twill take ouite a while to talk about the way our soldiers knock the saw dust from that Hun." And then with blithe and springy stride he chaoes down the street, to talk with neigh bors, far and wide, of how the tail goes with- the hide when .Yank and Cerman meet. The kind of news we've had of. late is better far than pills,, to brae ten worn: and weary skat and make mm Keep nis snviie on straight and banish all his ills. w o a. - SAFETY FIRST A vote for the' Democratic ticket Tuesday means a vote for a just and upright peace. It means a strong power upholding the hands of the President at this critical hour, when a divided nation may mean an injured nation. The most important days of the war are at band, i The recent vic tories of the allies must be coined into permanent adjustments before the war is won and President Wilson will be the chief representative of ,the American people. To defeat him, hiB party now would indicate to Berlin that America is divided, that the Pres ident is not endorsed and supported nnri. mavkan, lead to a weakening of the allied cause. There can be nothing lost by voting for the President, much may be lost in' not doing so, . American politics our way "of doing things, what a voice at the ballot box means is not under stood in Europe and it is better to be safe than sorry. The safety first nolicy would indicate at return of Democrats to support and aid the President in ending the war and reap ing a full reward- under victory at arms. W S S GETTING OUT WHILE IS GOOD GETTING Bulgaria out, Turkey out, Austria getting out, Germany praying to get out, That is the' situation at 9 o'clock this morning. The reader knows-better at the hour of reading what a change the day has brought. They are all running to cover, get ting out about as fast as they crowd ed in four years ago. In fact a wee bit faster. . N W S S - GOODNIGHT If you have any tears to shed, pre pare to shed them now. If you have any last words for the dying Teuton say them quickly. W S S THE KAISER'S MACHINE AND OURS. It took the kaiser forty years to build the war machine that he set in motion against the world. In less than two years the Americans, under the leadership of a wise and good man, built a better one, one that sent the kaiser's machine to the junk heap. The war was begun and it will be ended during the Wilson administra tion. Peace will be dictated by the allies with the President represent ing and speaking for America. Will we weaken that hand and weaken that ' voice because of some ' chronic faultfinders complaining about the minutest details? We are not voting disapproval of Pershing in France and there is no more reason why we should vote dis approval of Wilson in America. We would not vote to hinder and-Jndi-cap Pershing, why should we vote, to hinder Wilson over here? .The military phase of the war is won. Pershing's task is all but 'fin ished, it is being wound up. The Wil- mrii us ib junk uegun, kviwst lue fighting has died down a firm, lasting and just peace must be established. It would be a shame for an American people to butt in at an election and paralyse the hand and voice of the man who will be depended on to finish the task that iPershing. has so nobly ana wen Begun. ' We are daily i. appealed to ; send men and supplies ta France to sup port Pershing; we are now appealed to to send men to Washington - who will support the President ia the final details of the war. He, not' Persh ing, must and. will speak for America from How forward in case the.wsr is . now won on the battle field. -' Any good American ought to think seriously before acting to the hurt of the tuition at this critical time. Do not be misled by a few wide of the mark statements made by profes sioal politicians who want the office and the spoils of the office. Do not throw a monkey wrench into i the American machine. asvm cKfncs sate dons BETTER? ! t i Whan a former President harshlv and unfairly criticizes the Wilson ad ministration, the question which natu rally comes to one's mind ia this could he have done better than,-the Wilson administration has done since America entered' this war? What America has done during the past sixteen or eighteen months has been the marvel of the world, could any other man or set of men have out done this record ? Two million fighters are in France, could any other men or set of men have done. better? Could any other man or set of men have done- finer with the shipping board? Could any have equaled or surpassed the manner of financing the war and the various activities that ran along parallel with these war ne cessities? They cussed Josephua Daniels some years ago, but they are silent on Dan iels now. They are , shutting up on Baker, too, and they will close their mouths for good on Tuesday.. Mr. IRoesevelt might have" done bet ter, but he .did not when he had the chance; Mr. Tatt might have done better, but he failed to do half so much while he was in the driver's seat. Look at he record and say if there are any who could have surpassed it? The record is a big American accom plishment to which all Americans set their hands and did their part. Repub lican and Democrats, and all others, except a few cowards' and pro-Germans and it is little and unfair and untrue and un-American for a few Re publican leaders to be gesticulating about what was done, trying to at tack the man who has been the big American leader in this big American task. This spirit ought to be rebuked at the ballot box and America should and will place a hand o fauproval on the man who was the guidjng spirit, the matchless leader of America at this critical time. No man could have done better. q gc -' WILSON WINNING . Wilson is winning in Europe and we. cannot believe he will fail in America. Bulgaria is out, Tureky is out, Aus tria is running to cover and Germany is lodging the death blow. , The man who is recognized as the spokesman of the whole lot, whose statement is accepted as expressing the allied voice will win over there, has won over there, and will win over here as well. Judging from the press dispatches of today it looks as if the American President is so far beyond the ob jectives that a- victory will come be fore scheduled. Let the President be supported at home as he is abroad, and with that done there will be no doubt about the issue. , -w s s- HARMFUL, POLITICS The average American is honest and may be trusted. The average official in county, state and nation is efficient and capable and fully depend able. While this true-one unacqUaint nacquaini- ed with American politics would tieve that all men who have anything to do with public affairs, prty man agement, er any thing that touches public duties are 'crooks and grafters. Understanding as we do the temper of our own 'people Americans pay no serious attention to-these things, and go ahead arid do their work, assuming that this tendency is to be expected and altogether unharmful. We have lived under both Repub lican and Democratic control of coun ty, state and nation, and have never yet seen anything to swerve us from the position that so far as personal service goes the average man seeks to do his duty as lie sees it and may be relied on to do this. There may be government principles at stake, but these ate not one and the same with partisan politics and personal selfishness. .' Now' and then a thief and a rascal may show his head, but he is quickly dispatched and his place filled by, an honest man. About election times, however, un der the excitement of the hour we get down to little jnud slinging and not infrenquently overstep the bounds of rirht. This is an American tendency and. not at all due to some dark per fidity of one man or men or party. The- .party that conducts the most open, frank and honorable campaign is likely to get the best of the argu ment, aad the fact that our Republi can friends in this state have spent the past week In mud slinging; imparl ing the 'character of good men and seeking, ta make the voters believe that their eponents are crooks and "steal from the blind" does not argue that some terrible; dastardly wrong has been committed and the salvation of the state depends on throwing out all Democrats and substituting Re publicans. s It means rather that they who resort' to such .methods have little to solemnly speak. to the reason of men and are flying off at a tangent to appeal fo the prejudice of unthinking folks and let spite and feeling enter in where reason ought to prevail It will get them no ways towards accom plishment of their purpose, in tins case, the desire for the office they see in sisrht the only ournose. Lacking? real reason why Wilson should be de feated, why Simmons should be de feated, why the county officers should be defeated, the opposition seent to be oat gunning with outlawed muni tion and depending, on . arousing prejudices and '; - personal .. feelings sgainst some men ' over some wrong which belled sown amounts to nothing -t-alL. We do not know all the facts, butrw would be will ing to ware a year's salary what- lever that may mean that the .cases or soldiers being rob bed art votes by either party, by any one in the state are aboutas scarce as the. feathers that grow oir s billy goat Searches'! ads; load hinged shouting under the shadow of the ballot: box stands for little in this day, just as it has in -the past. Men want facts, not fancies. Voters want service not promises made to influence voters. .

ASSASSINATED MR. HUGHES IS r IN WITH REPORT The Aircraft Investigation Ended and ( Report With the President One Man O tod for Court Martial Prog-) reas Fine Since May , Washington, Oct. 31. The long! awaited report on the aicraft in vestigation, conducted during th last Ave months by Charles E. Hughes and Attorney General Gregory, was placed before President Wilson today by the attorney general, and Immediately made public. Delays and wastes of the produc tion program, the report declares, were due chiefly to "the defective or ganization of the work of aircraft production and the serious lack of competent direction of that work by the responsible officers of the signal corps," No fault is found with the manage ment of aircraft affairs sines the re organization of last May which placed John D. Ryan in charge. The civilian personnel of the aircraft production board is exonerated of any wrong doing. Gregory in Accord ' Attorney General Gregory, in a let ter transmitting the report to Pres ident Wilson, says he is In "substan tial accord" with the finding by Mr. Hushes. The reuort finds no "Kraft" In the generally accepted sense butvfflakes recommendation for nroceedinit against army officers held guilty of dealing with corporatoins in which thev were interested. ? The cheif waste from the original aoDronriations of SB91.8M.8fl6. the re- oort says, was in the abandonment of two types of airplanes one of them the Bristol -and a failure to salvage aggregating about $24,000,000. The Agures shaw that last iMay. of the great vppropriatlon $134,000,000 actu ally had been disbursed and that up to October 1 the expenditure had reached about $140,000,000- for all aviatipn . purposes. This did not in clude expenditures of the sales de partment which buys material and re sets it to manufacturers, and for ad vances for building plants. Contracts let. however, committed about $470, 000,000 of the fund. The figures are (riven in answer to the general charge that the sum had all been expended with practically no results. Charge of Bad Fsfth Not Justified The attorney general concludes in his letter of transmittal that "rh such profits have been allowed aa to Justify a charge of bad faith." ' Col. K. A. Deeds, the storm center shout whom raged most of the charges which brought on the investi gation, the report recommends, should be brought before a coutt-martiat for sending, confidential war department Information on the aircraft situation to former business associate In Day- turn Ohio, and for being sponsor last I February for a rross . mislcadim statement to the effect tsat "tueimifcu American-smut muuemsnes arm toiy en route ro the front m France." W 8 SORRY TEAM" WORK ' (News and Observer, ' Oct; 80th, In their reply to President Wilson's appeal to voters, the Republican Sen atorial and CoJigmsional .Opmmit tees said:- -,-- . "There are some domestic questions on which we should undoubtedly dif fer from the coarse pursued- by the Administration. We should not, for example, fix the price of the farmer's wheat and leave the planter's cotton untouched." ' I If this means anything; it means that should the iRapublicana succeed in electing a majority of the House and Senate they will proceed at once to pass a bill Axing the price of cot- Iton. . " ; :- : ...-,: .:', . But the amusing thing is that in the face of the foregoing, declaration by the national G. O. P. machine, the Republican leader In North Carolina are telling oar farmers that President Wilson is determined to fix the price of cotton, that he is merely waiting until after the election to do it,' and that the only way to kep him from it is to tie his hands by sending Repub licans to' Congress especially Mr. Morehead. -- iReally,. if the Republican leaders expect to bamboozle the people of North Carolina, they will have to get together. Butler and ; Morehead thought they were making great head way with our manufacturers by tell ing therm the President was commit ted to the policy of free trade. Then Mr, Wilson came-"along with" his straightforward letter to , Senator Simmons and nailed that report as a falsehood. Now the report that was designed to catch the farmer's vote has been branded as a fabrication out of the whole cloth by the Republican Old Guard itself. ; ; . Thi? is mighty sorry team work. We should have expected a better performance from mew who hsve been in training as long as Marion and Motley. - ;-c W S S .

James W. Gerard, former am bassador to Germany and a man who is intimately acquainted with condi tions in that country, made state ment yesterday that provides food for thought on the part of those who might haver had , the idea that the election of a Republican congress this year; would not interfere" with a speedy and successful conclusion of the present war. (Mr, Gerard says that the election, of congress not in political sympathy with President Wilson would be mis understood in Germany. He thinks it would cause the German leaders to believe the people of this country are not in sympathy with the President; that he does not really speak for the nation on the subject of peace terms. He feels that, if they gain that idea, they will stiffen their resistance and prolong the struggle. Mr. Gerard is not a candidate for any office. He is a man of great abil ity versed in diplomacy. He has had exceptional opportunities to know the leaders of German policy. What he says on, this subject appears entirely logical and reasonable. 1 Republican politicians may talk all they please in the effort to -convince the voters that the election of a Re publican congress , will further the movement for a victorious peace. The only trouble with their argument is that the best way to have an indus trial enterprise succeed is to have foremen of various departments who are not in sympathy with the views of the management. Such a suggestion is ridiuculous on its face, ,. . .... . . - "l q c) . r .V'h; , Rules of Health The American commission for com bating, tuberculosis in France is cir culating among children an excellent set of rules for health, of which the following is a translation " 1.

Work Should Be Continued : Mr Frank A. Vanderlip said a year ago that this country was a nation of economic illiterates. He meant that the American people knew nothing, or very little, about saving money. The banks of the country had figures to prove that they did not. - Today Mr. Vanderlip admits that the nation' has come a long way and made rapid progress in becoming a thrifty peopfe, but says that they are not yet ready for peace. He advo cates at least anotheryear of thrift toaehint that the best results msy be had from the efforts that have al ready been put forth in the? War Savings- campaign.-:.' v ?V - As a result of one- years efforts to teach s nation thrtft and ecowmy. the American: people have been Jifted out of a quagmire of waste and careless nesa to heights of independence, bank acccruntr and bolder- of government bonds, tEatravagance ot former times has been, done away with.
