HI NT Mrs. Alice Burt Hunt of Southern Pines is to be congrat ulated by the entire county on the success of the drive for funds for the American Red Cross. Or possibly we should say that Moore county is to be con gratulated upon finding 3Irs. Hunt at a time of emergency such as this, for as chairman of the county Red Cross chapter she has done a remarkable work. This county was ori/jrinally as signed a (luota of S2.000 to ward the millions sought from the country to aid refugees and sufferers in war-torn Europe. When conditions became^ worse with the German invasion of Belgium and France, we here were asked if we could possibly double that figure. No one thought it could be done—ex cept Mrs. Hunt.

This is the way it ought to be in a democrat ic country under a capitalistic economy. It is to be hoped that public utilities and citizens here will continue to show the same spirit of willingness to rea.son cut mutual problems and .see the othpr man’s viewpoint.” That is .sound logic for any ^community It shows good faith toward private industry which pays its way. May Democracy by the people continue to be reas onable, because individual oppor tunity and private industry can not sur\’ive without each other. THE NOMIN'ATION OF MR. WILLKIE The nomination of Wendell Willkie as the Republican Pres idential cancftdate signified a triumph ofl aggressive public, sentiment over machine politics. 'And, on top of that, it was a political miracle. Mr. Willkie has never held important physical as well as mental attributes needed to bat tle the strongest Democratic candidate on even terms. The Republican platform .says little and means less. That is not imiportant—Mr. Willkie will make the platform himself, and no one in these days pays much attention to the political planks. While he believes in private en terprise, he believes al.so in strict regulation, and the iron-handed elimination of busine.ss abuses. On foreign policy he favors aid to the allies but is pledged against declaring war. He is es pecially .strong in defense of civ il liberties for minorities no less North Carolina farmers had ten percent more cotton in cultivation on July 1st this year than they did a year ago.
