C, FRIDAY, APRIL 28, 1922 NUMBER 16 FRANCE INSISTS ON XHE PARIS TREATY gtormy Week At Genoa Economic Conference Over German-Russian Treaty. ! PARTY O. K'S MORRISON The economical conference at Genoa several times during the week ''arely escaped coming to grief. The conclusion of the secret treaty between Russia and Germany on Eas ter Sunday has altered the whole course of the conference. The allies have debarred Germany from fur ther discussion of Russian matters in the conference, but they have ,rreed to allow the Rapallo treaty to stand. Russia and the problem of restor jRo her to economic stability has oc cupied much of the time of the con ference this week. The soviet dele gates have taken the initiative and demand recognition of their govern ment and the arrangement of a loan to their country by the allied govern ments. Not only that; they have also demanded the cancellation of all war debts, and a thirty year moratorium, in which she may regain her economic feet. France, alarmed by the Russo-Ger-man alliance, feels that the Rapallo instrument has vindicated her insist ance on a large army. Premier Poni care has announced that his govern ment will insist that Germany live up to the Versailles treaty. He says France will take whatever steps are necessary to force Germany, if she defaults in her reparations payment due May 31. The conference is as we go to press trying to. find some basis of agree ment upon which Russia may be re stored to the economic stability for which all Europe hopes. The ques tion of property rights , in the com munist country is causing much -difficult v. The Democratic platform of a thou sand words, adopted without com ment or debate by a unanimous vote of the Democratic State Convention held at Raleigh Friday put the stamp of partisan endorsement on the ad ministration of Governor Cameron Morrison, recognized the right of women to participation in party af iairs by directing the State executive committee to make regulations for doubling- the number of members from sixty-one to one hundred and twenty, one half of which shall be women, recommended to Congress the passage of bonus legislation for the ex-soldiers, endorsed the Democratic delegation in Congress, and denounc ed as "overt, unfair and cowardly,' the attack of the Republicans on the Democratic administration of State affairs. The platform is one of the briefest ever adopted, but a great deal is Packed into it. Significant is the fact that the party endorses workmen mpensation legislation this year. Jt is also significant that the plank calling for a constitutional amend mit to allow the taxing of judges is 'eit out. following the usual declaration of Principles, and general endorsement tlle platform plunges into particular- nations and endorses in detail prac .duy everything the last two ses sions of the legislature have done in eard to roads, health, taxation 0c'al self government in taxation mat- eis pensions for veterans, creation revenue department, aids for char ge institutions, and , closes this 1 .l by pointing with particular to the fact that Governor Mor l.on has vigorously recommended s type of legislation. Then after thanki dicing the l?at the unfortunate people of the t.hp lripdiral staffs gained by the governor, the platform a "es up another line of endorsements a commends the Live at Home cam o i commends the passage oi an'Conserving the fish .of the State increasing the production of fish 1 Lne State.

"MORAL: ISSUE" IN UNTf POLITICS Mrs. C. S. Perkinson Calls Womanhood of Warren to Rout Whiskey Influence. PLEADS LAW OBSERVANCE By CHARLOTTE S. PERKINSON The women of our county are .fac ing for the first time the responsibil ity and privilege of casting their votes for county officers. It is not now a question of whether they be lieve in suffrage or not. It is a ques tion of accepting their responsibility as patriots and citizens, and of vot ing for the best .interests of their homes, their children and their com munities. Voting is now just as much an act of patriotism as the work so nobly : performed by our women in time of war, that democracy might triumph over autocracy. The issue facing us, my dear sis ters, is plainly a moral one. The question is, are . we to stand by the constitution of our State and Nation and compel the enforcement of the eighteenth amendment, or are we to join hands with the men who hold that amendment up to scorn and are by their acts no better than anarch ists or Bolshevists slackers, and not patriots ? " ' These men are taking the law into their own hands. Theirs is the spirit of the mob the spirit of lawlessness and violence a spirit directly t con trary to that upon which America was founded reverence for God and respect for law The present con tempt for law made manifest in the matter of illicit liquor is responsible for a great many other crimes, for when a man loses respect for any law, the tendency is to scrap all law and to do just about as he pleases. Then pur civilization begins to tremble. Our candidates for office A should maka their position plain pn this , is sue, and our women should unhesitat ingly give their support and cast their ballots for men who stand bravely on the moral side. It is im material to us what a man's father or grandfather did or did not do. Those, my friends, are dead issues. The living and vital issue to us is, are we women going to vote for men in sympathy with booze which is doing so much to make homes miserable and is destined now as always to ruin so many of our boys, or are we going to support men who take their stand fearlessly on the side of right? The attitude of some otherwise good men in this matter of law enforce ment is rather contemptible. In one class we find business men who for fear of losing a dollar or of giving offence to to a good customer who loves " his booze will take a neutral position and say, "I don't drink it, my boys don't drink it. It really doesn't bother me." But are you not your brother's keeper. If it is ruining his life and his home and is a menace to your community, does it not, or should it not concern you? Most contemptible of all is the pol itician who has about come to the con clusion that evil has, overcome good and that more people are in sympa thy with moonshine than are against it. He wants to be there at the pie cutting, so instead of standing on. the side of temperance and morality, gets aboard the wet band wagon and in vites his friends to come along too. He says its no use fighting against the powers that be. If he pretends, as is usually the case, to be a Chris tian and a church man, I commend to him the attitude of Jesus when tempted in the wilderness and the devil showed him all the kingdoms of this world and the glory of them, and said, "All this will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me." Then Jesus answered and said, "Gee thee hence, Satan." Another class of men who believe in law enforcement say that if "they lend support to the moral side the women will presently be ruling the county and they do not believe in pet ticoat government. 1 think I speak the minds of the majority of our women when I say that we are not desirous of holding office. But we do want men in office who will enforce the law and demand our respect. If you men cannot and will not do your duty in these mat ters, you will force a condition which will put women in offipe. In "the fight for the franchise our 1798 PENNY FOUND ON FARM NEAR WARRENTON. Possibly flipped to some colored boys by a dignitary of Washington traveling the old - New Orleans S stage route and lost in the scram ble, a penny made in 1798 was found last week by Mr. T. E. Powell on his farm near War renton. The coin was as large as a quar ter. One cent was stamped in the center. At the bottom was a fractional one-onehundredth. Mr. Powell says that perhaps Aaron Burr tossed the copper. women promised cleaner and better government, cleaner and more de cent politics. If we do not use our ballot toward this end, we will have to bear the blame of making condi tions worse instead of better. What we women yet admire more than any thing else in the world are those good old fashioned qualities "of true man hoodcourage, honesty, temperance, loyalty. Are they still among us or not?
