As a matter of fact, all of the hull abaloo was one of the most unneces sary piece of noise of all the noises this war has produced, and Americans with minds broader than the constrict ed space between their eyes were not disturbed thereby. We take it that the members of the . expeditionary force are better protected" from im moral influences than they are at home, as anybody knows that army regulations with regard to such are far more effective than those encoun tered by our young men in civil life.

J SHOULD BE A SILENCER. 'AFTER THE HOARDERS. Pood Administrator Page is deter mined that he will break up food hoarding in North Carolina if' such a thing is humanly possible, and with the determination that Henry Page is known to have there is little doubt but that he will come mighty near making a success of his efforts. Only recently he had information that cer tain people in Henderson were put ting too much sugar away for the comine of a "rainy day", and he got busy, with the result that these mis guided believers in preparedness were made to immediately see the wisdom of releasing their surplus. In Greensboro it was reported that there was a tendency to hoard flour against a further shortage in that food essential, and, according to The News, a visit to the flour bins in that city is to be made for the purpose of finding out who has more than a bar rel of the dust on hands, all having more than that quantity to be prevail ed upon to return to the store they purchased from just as much as they have over: the quantity in one barrel.; In the letter issued to dealers, Mr. Page calls the attention of the mer chants to their own liability in the following paragraph: "I have information that a number of our people, no doubt through ignor ance of the law and possibly folio w- needr ofv having more thasi two delir-. eries each day and it lsf comhlg down, to tnat Deiore :tnis war is ended, we believe. Just as soottr as the . public finds out that they cannot rush to the 'phone ad order: up 'five or , ten cents worth of a certain article whenever they ohoose, they are going tomake arrangements to send for this or to include it in an order which they can njake twice each day.

The order has been earried out, and the plants are running again. Was any body thrown into bankruptcy by the closing? Was anybody made- hungry or cold by the carrying out of the or der? Was any thing accomjplishe by the movement? A good many ships were supplied with coal that would not have been otherwise supplied for a long time to come, and the homes in many sections were made warm and comfortable after a period of cheer-lessness. tion; the Duke has, to his credit ex ploits in the Arctic and ;in equatorial Africa. ::H -.

General Pershing's denial of the charges was just as we had expected, and were there Such a thing as a pal liative fpr-those over here stung .with the reform bug this would suffice. Conditions over there may not yet have attained , the ideal, and we would doubt a. statement that they had, but we are willing to rest on the belief that, as a rule, the men in Pershing's army are better protected from social evil than the young 'men-at borne. And "Black Jack" is not the kind of a man to rest content with conditions as they are, good as they may be, and will use every effort to better them, and the men under his charge will be better protected than a sim ilar number of men back here in tlw States despite our "company good behavior."

Now that the lowly spud has by order of the Food Administration been' promoted into company with flour in our daily bread, that vegetable will come in for much more attention in this part of the """country than it has been accustomed to get. The potato has always "been considered a pretty good sort of a scout; to have around ' in a pinch, and its "reliability as a sustaiheKOf life has been gen erally recognised, ,but for some rea son bringing up, probably it has never been admitted into the best so ciety.

Wilmington have expressed a desire that an election be- held on the question of the form of government this city should live under, and we pake jt.iht the proper authorities, being, servants of the people and sub ject" to. their -wisshes, will grant the request. There is no form of govern ment that comes closer to the people than municipal. It is in direct con tact with their daily lives, and its influence is more apparent than any other form of governmental control to which citizens of democracy are sub ject,, Therefore, if these people who are .so . intimately related to municip al government desire an opportunity to express by the exercise of their right of franchise the' particular form of city control under which they wish to live, they should be permitted to do so. We do not know whether the majority of the voters o Wilmington desire a change in the form of the city government, but it is established by the petition now ready for presen tation that a number of them want an opportunity to vote on the question of retaining the present form or changing it to some other, and no doubt their wishes will be acceded to. arlotte is hard to down. , Jn .this Roper asks that the State and coun ty officials join , with his agents in eliminating the illegal whiskey mak er.

It is with a source of deep regret that The Citizen makes he announce ment that Prof. S. E.

Greensboro News. Well, let them continue to talk about peace, even though they don't say anything worth considering. Some of these days somebody is going to forget and say something worth while, the other fellow will grab it up in- stanter and out of it may come a real peace. And besides, all of this talk is doing no harm-and is much less feared than bullets.. WITH THE EDITORS. ; News and Observer: All of the spe cific instances of alleged mismanage ment enumerated by Senator Cham berlain at such length yesterday and with such fidelity to detail might be true and many that were not mention ed might be true and yet the Presi dent's declaration remain an abso lutely accurate stateemnt. That this is .true can be seen by any one after the most perfunctory reading of Sen ator Chamberlain's speech. The members of the Wingate Local union have a capital stock of fifty dollars which they borrowed from the Bank of Wingate at a nominal rate of interest. This is deposited subject to check of Vann Williams, the hustling business agent. Last year from March 17 to January 1 they did a total volume of business amount ing to $5,227.40 on this $50 capital.
