Which somehow "forces us o the determination ' that if- r we are ever commissioned a general in the Mexican army we are going to take a cue from the baseball players and have our name across the front of our uniform in red letters. But, then, that wouldn't have done Gener al Molina any good,' unless he wore it backwards. ' y - ' j . . t t ARMENIAN MANDATES COME RATHER HIGH It is, as President Wilson admits, a- "very critical choice" that congress is asked to make in granting author ity for the -acceptance by the United States of a mandate over Armenia. If there were present all the data re quired for figuring the cost, we1 would still refrain from attempting its com putation,. We seem to have some where, seen It stated that it would cost the people of this country some thing like $200,000,000. ' ' But accepting -the estimate of Ma ior General jjarbord, who headed an American mission', to Armenia, 'it would be necessary to maintain a army of 150,000 men; or a larger force .that our entire standing army before the kaiser went on the ram page. That's enough in itself to give congress pause. 1 ' " ' , ' It may be that it is the duty of the American people to accept this, dis agreeable ' and probably '! thankless task; but congress on the eve of an election could be forgiven for refus ing to accept It. Not yet are we in the League of Nations, and there is some . doubt in regard to . our standing In Europe.1 of Course, there will always be something Europe is willing- to permit us to spend our money for. Cr An opportunity of this sort is now presented. Whether it -will break- the lieart of the world to- refuse . it, the President does not say; ,but he thinks it "the earnest wish of the people of the United States" that this job be taken on. -. - . . . - Perhaps it is; but we wouldn't! blame congress for letting the Presi dent take 1 ft, "along with' the treaty. Jo the people and let them voice their, Eish In the matterj " - '- LET It IM WITHOUT SIX CAST THE STONE Judge Oliver Allen, at Fayette ville. has thrown the strong arm of the law around a young woman in that community who, harkening to the- voice of the tempter, had strayed into the primrose y-ways of life. Judge 'Allen said in' effect what the Nararene said to the crimson woman before him in the dawn of Chris tianity: "Go thou, and sin no more." And the man in the case is required to pay' the expenses of his victim during her impending troubles: " 1 Society is too prone to " condemn and make an outcast of the woman in a case of this kind while shutting jits eyes to th turpitude of her part jner, , and welcoming him back into the fold. It is not right' that one .Should suffer while the other goes on fei3 way rejoicing. It is.not right that &e eye of, scorn be turned upon the girl, and the world, with its cloak of righteousness about it, pass her by on the other side while the action $f the man,. more culpable, perhaps ?n Condoned as a part of . the wild oats Jhat youth must sow, and he is for given the fault for which the other must suffer a life-long punishment. Let him who is without sin among you cast the first stone at her"- whjlch-would mean that there would be mighty few stones cast. For sin in this world is as numerous" as the pebbles in the sands cast up by the sea, and women have been accorded no exclusive exemption therefrom. THE WORKING MAN AND HIGH LIVING COSTS Samuel Gompers,, president of the American Federation of Labor, has arraigned congress. Attorney General Palmer, the d i;Wtment :. of justice and everybody In general,' except the labor party, for the high cost of liv ing. Some of his points are well tak- "h while again he seems to miss the saark. f 1 Mr"; Go Gompers makes the statement that "thousands of American worb ingpeople have had little of no in crease in income since 1914. That be ing the .case, they have actually been compelled to . accept a reduction in real .wages, of approximately . 50 per cent." It is to be taken for eranteit that Mr. Gompers, being at the head of organized labor,-is -well informed as to the pay of labor, but it will be news to most people to learn that thousands of American workmen have received little ..or no increase in pay since high prices' set in." It is the universal belief that every Ameri can 'workniali is receiving consider ably more pay for his work than he received in 1914. - f ' Mr. Gompers advocates the demand by labor that "control of credit cap ital be; taken from . private financiers and placed lit the hands -of a public trust; to be administered upon prin ciples voluntary . and co-operative in character."' We must confess that this" declaration or demand is so in volved that we are left to grope after its meaning, but we . suppose Mr. Gompers means - by - "credit .capital'' capital to loan out; and that the la bor party would have the "money of banks and other financial institutions taken out of the hands of private in dividuals', to be handled by the, gov ernment. He ' says that ' the people's money' should be handled upon prin ciples "voluntary and co-operative in.' character," whatever .that phrase may : mean. " , ; " . i -. , Why should not there be a plain ad mission by everybody (Mr. Gompers and ' the labor union; included) that there is something radically , wrong, buthat it is no fellow can find out, except that all classes and conditions are more or less to blame. As we men tioned the above, Mr. Gompers is dis posed to- blame everybody 'except the laboring men for the troubles of the present time." One reason that is gen erally accepted as having much to do with the, high cost of living is "under-production." . What is the cause of underproductionT A lack of work, of course. Who are the producers? The men and women who do the manual labor. It is. well known that the main cry of the labor unions . Is more pay and less work. So, getting down to the last analysis, it would appear " that the American workin? classes, both organized and unorgan ized, are really much to blame for the-unrest and high cost of living. A careful reading of a recent edi torial by Mr.' Gompers in the Ameri can pederationist, reveals consider able egotism and a disposition to claim all the wisdom and all the abil ity to remedy the present condition of affairs. Here is a fair sample: "The labor movement in its reconstruction program adopted in June, 1910, and in its declara tion of December 13, 1919, has laid before the country construc tive proposals for relief with which congress Is f amil iar. "The congress of the United States cannot say that it lias not . had laid before it suggestions for effective action by plans for , real relief. It can say only that it would not listen and would not act. Against the congress of the United States there rests in dictment which an alert elector ate will not overlook." . We wonder if , Mr.' Gompers and his party would really, improve con- ditions if they had full control of af fairs and eould i apply ; all their re- construction proposals. It ia much, to bj doubted, r ; ;-4i;-'. - AVHKRE DID SUCH AN -IMPRESSION COME FROM? ..Says The Wilmington Dispatch: "There seems to be an impression abroad in North Carolina that the State Highway . Commission" is ob structing progress in highway build ing, rather .than pursuing a construc tive program. How about it, gentle men?" - . Why ask? Certainly the impressipn did not get abroad" as the result of anything , the Highway Commission lias Told, any of those who are strlv tng to keep the impression alive. Fur thermore, would that part of the press which' prefers to trust to-"impressions" to ah investigation of the fact in the case accept the Highway Com misston's word for whether it is pur suing -a i constructive program? . -. If any roads have been constructed through federal aid in North Caro lina, "it has been because of Highway Commission and not in spite of it, as some Who have lingered overlong at, the bull-fests of those determined to jbring NoTth Carolina tvut of the mud would seem to believe. . " r. J There are counties and sections in which any sort of a program other than '."-one- of - speechmaking' is impos sible; but the program of the High way Commission already provides for the construction of more good rqads than some of the more vociferous champions of the fifty million dollar bond issue have ever seen. Under con struction1 or- let to -contract now are thirty-six gravel and topsoil roads, S69 miles in lengthy to cost $3,285, 500; nineteen surface roads of 98 1-2 miles, to cost $3,155,200, and one bridge for Wayne Covmtyi to be built at a cost of $40,000. i The total of fifty-si projects now being handled by the Highway Com mission do notf. course, represent all -the good roads. North Carolina should-or will havr but ; they are enough to keep -the commission .mid dling busy on a "constructive pro gram" calculated lto produce more ac tual miles of good roads than alt the stooping it lip contributed by all tho agitating aggregation, many of them wholly irresponsible," wtio seem to consider it to their k awn . and the State's interest to foster? the imprest sion that the. commission is composed of ' obstructionists. ; ' ' r ,s . : ;.: Methmlists To .
