What Americanism Is
Americanism cannot exist in a
noble form simply as .1 by-pro
duct ol "doing as we like.
Americanism can exist nobly
only il we desire it nobly, and
more than all other things tlat
stand in its way. It can exist only
through an unremitting effort to
live up to its ideals.
111 the great hour of today,
American ideals are in conflict
with German ideals: American
citizens' are fighting and dying
tor their ideals. They are lighting
for—
-1 INDIVMIU AI 11 \
Unlike Germany we Americans
believe that the state exists foi
| the individual, not the individual
ji fur the state.
A 'democratic state, however,
has nothing to offer to its individ
ual citizens thai it does not de
rive from its citizens themselves,
its wisdom is their wisdom; its
courage is their courage; its ser
vices are their services. 1-
It demands, therefore, the loy
alty, the wisdom, the courage,
the service ot its individual citi
zen. It has nothing but these to
serve them with.
S. EOUAUIY
Unlike Germany we Americans
believe in equality.
Our belief in equality is not
that all are equal in
physique, in ability, in intelli
gence, in morals, in taste, etc.
It is a belief that no inequali
ties should affect the uniform ad
ministration of the law, and that
no law should favor o«e gwp. of
individuals to the disadvantage
ol any other groifp.
It is a belief that the progress, i'
ive spirit of law-making should j
he the desire to give to every one
the utmost opportunity to de
velop whatever just qualities and
abilities lie is possessed 01.
3. iNHF.HKMir Nl K
Unlike Germany we believe in
peace as the normal state of a na
tion, and war as the abnormal
state. We do not believe in inili. I

fending our sense of right by force
when it is impossible to defend it

A Quiet Fourth
There was a general obser
vance of the Fourth here only in
the matter of closing the busi
ness houses with the exception
of the drug stores; the day was
spent very quietly. Quite a num
ber of men and women, to.>,
went to Battleboro to sc> the
races, and some at ten Ic.l the
dance at Oak City at night. The
, people in this section have rr y •
celebrated theKourthas itanoutu
be since the Civil Wat-. Only for
the past twp or three years,
have the business houses closed.
The war has drawn folks closer
to every tradition and fact con
nected with America
From the looks of some folks
and the scent which reached the
olfactory nerves of Saturday
evening shoppers, there was
"monkey" in the good old town
■ at that time.
SHEEP OR WORTHLESS
DOGS • WHICH, MR.?
Raleigh, N. C., July 6, 1618
Enterprise,
Williamston, N. C
We are writing you this per
sonal letter regarding a matter
which has always been impor
tant but which is a vital necessi
ty at this time Eight states
have passed state wide dog Con
trol laws since war was declared
these being Pennsylvania, New
York, Virginia, West Virginia,
Maryland Kentucky, Massachu
setts and New Hampshire. This
is the result of vital war necessi
ty such as exists in North Caro
lina which has 250,000 dogs, at
least, half of which are worth
less and which consume as much
food as 40,(XX) people in addition
to what they waste and destroy
which amounts to half as much
more.
Last year 300 patients, most
of whom were small boys and
girls, were given the Pasteur
treatment at the State Labora
tory of Hygiene in Kaleigh. The
sheep industry has declined 30
per cent in the East and South
since I'.MH). The decline in North
Carolina has been from .'IOO,OOO
to 200,000 in the same time. We
need today more meat and more
wool than ever before, vet the
sheep industry is consistently
declining chiefly because of
worthless roaming dogs.
When war was declared the
Government asked for an in
crease of 15 per cent in the pork
products of the United States.
Scientific investigation has shown
that 17 per cent of the hog chol
era, the greatest menace to the
swine industry, is due to roam
ing dogs, and North Carolina
lost $200,000.00 on this account
last year. It is also estimated
that the poultry of the State can
be doubled when dogs arid a few
of the other obstacles are placed
under control Turkey raising
has become practically extinct in
many sections because of uncon
trolled dogs. Many pay tribute
to the dog but is the human ele
ment, sheep, swine, and poultry
raising and food conservation
not more important?
What are you doing to bring
these matters to the attention of
your people, and more especially
to your representatives in the
Legislature? We have much ad
ditional information on this sub
ject which we wilj/be glad to
furnish on request.
Yotrrs very truly,
K S. Curtis, Sec.
State Sheep and Dog Control
Committee.
Rehabiltation of Our Wounded
l'erhaps some of the various
uses to which the proceeds of
the Liberty I,oan are devoted ap
peals more strongly to the Ameri
can people than the rehabiltation
and reeducation of our wounded
men. To teach these men, to train
and lit them for useful and gain
ful occupations, when bv reason
of loss of sight or limbs or other
injuries they are rendered unable
to pursue ordinhry vocations, is
a work in which every American
can has a heartfelt interest.
Compensation will be allowed
them and family allowances will
paid their families as if they
were in actual service while they
are taking the training, and
every method known to science
will be usedtorestore our wound
ed men to health and usefulness.
This work has been delegated
by Congress to the Federal Board
for Vocational Education The
board publishes at Washington a
monthly bulletin, declaring with
its work, called The Vocational
Summary, which willbe sent free
to anyone upon request.
