I ipltotirtn tt AfM Raleigh, Sept. 11. The action of the republican machine in instituting suit to enjoin the state board of elec tions from functioning the absentee voters' law' this year, is in' direct con tradiction of the position taken by the republican candidate for presi dent, Labor put Harding on record on that subject early In the cam paign. ' Senator Harding sees in the absentee voters law ' a ' measure of much benefit to the voters of all par ties, in the number of states that have tho law, but North Carolina republicans are now attacking it be. cause they think they ean gain a lit tle- party advantage thereby. The difference in the attitude of a man of presidential calibre and one cut to measure to run for governor in this state on the republican ticket on a question of benefit to the whole peo pie is proof of the difference In men tal acquirement also. 7 '-Li Raleigh republicans profess to find mucks eensDlation-1 fh nomination of Tom, Watson for V. B. Senator in Georgia, to succeed Hoke Smith, but fo those not of that political faith It is hard to see where there is room for , much enjoyment in that result. Republicans say Watson' nomination is another argument in favor of the repeal of the state primary plan of naming state officials, and they add the hope that some voters t in this state will scratch the democratic bal lot' because of what they term some weak names that got on through the recent primary. Democrats who are familiar ' with Georgia politics say there is error in the position taken by some that, Wataoo' nomination v.as a slap in the face of Wilson and the League.

Fahey, former president of the Chamber of Com merce of the United States, and to Alfred Dennis, commercial attache to the American embassy, spoke at some length about a new bank which hat recently been founded in Italy, It is called the Banca Nazionale del Reduce (The National Bank of War Survivors) and its special object is to give credit to all ex-combatants, helping them to start afresh In bus iness; assisting also their widows and orphans, or the parents and sister of those who died during the conflict, to all of whom is also given a dis count of one per cent on all opera tions.. 1 The Ktoff himself took a personal interest in the development -of the new bank and invested 50,000 lire in its shares, which he presented to an other war institution, that of the or- phana of fallen soldiers.- The king is anxious that the new bank should become a link between Italy and Italian war survivor who live abroad, of whom there are over 850,000 in America alone and even greater ' number in Argentina and Brazil. BOLSMEVIKI FIGHT WITH CAPTURED ARMS London, Sept. 11. Just a impe rialism killed czarism so will Impe rialism be the death of Russian so- vietism, is the prediction made to the Associated Press correspondent by M.

Pup pitted his wits against the bolshevik! at Dorpat and he is re. gafded as one of the best authorities in Europe on Russian political and economic conditions. in common with representatives here of other Russian border states, pi. Piip la watching with profound concern the development In Poland. "The bolshevik! are fighting Poland with the allies' ammunition which they captured from Denildne and Kolchak," he said. "This is now al most exhausted and Russia cannot renew it." T SEVERELY FELT Budapest, Sept. II. The cost of travel for Americans in Central Eu rope and Balkan countries is reach ing extortionate proportion through the tendency ' to charge ' Americans th same price, for passport Vise as that of the American government for foreigners' which recently was in creased from $1 to 1 10. If this ten dency is continued, an American in th eoorse of a few days' journey passing several frontiers, may have to pay $30 to $50 in vises. Fbr travellers of all nationalities, however, the charge has been rapidly increasing during the past 6 months. The Germans began the high charges, demanding $5. Then Austria follow ed suit with the same charge, and Hungary and other countries have been obliged to mak like oharges. Because of the huge revenue so ob tainable,' passport are severely ex amined, more so than Jn war time. TIE SOUTHERNER'S SATURDAY El OFFICIALS EXPECT PROMPT AC TIONr' MEXICANS SAY OBRE.

I John 5:19. -. It certainly does seem to me that I hear more about all aorta of scan dalou goings-on here lately that I ever heard, before. Gambling and drinking and immorality and steal ing and extravagance and loafing and irreliglon is powerfully preva lent in the rumors and gossip that reach my ears now and then, and as i clergyman probably hears less than anybody else, I naturally con dude that there must be a great deal more than I hear about Now, it may very well be that things are no worse than they used to be. I have forgotten how it used to be ten year ago, and I have the present situation right before me, But anyway, worse than formerly or not, there is more wrongdoing going on all the time than there ought to be. Here are some of the reasons hear given for the wickedness Of the day. 1. Prohibition: That has its share in some -people mind for lawless- ness and sin : I don't see any sense in thaMiowever. How can a condition which nak,ea drink expensive and in. ferior and harder to get .promote drinking? And what has it got to do anyway with" gambling and taking on withTenVs neighbor' wife? 2. The War: Perhapa the naturally disturbed Condition of society that follows war accounta for some preva lent vices. But I notice this very obvious fact that it I seldom that our returned soldiers figure in the scandalous tales I hear. It ia nearly always . some man who wa too old or otherwise exempt from service, or some callow boy who was too young, who is th hero of the vicious, esc. pedes. Soldiers who fought aeem to have gone to work and behave them selves all rfjht. S. High wages and toomuch mon ey: Of course too much money, no matter how you get it, U bad for anybody. It breed pride, idleness, recklessness, and vice. But there are a lot of people who have less money than they ever had before, and they do not seem to act any better than other. : i". Now, 1 is evident that sin ia laid to these I three cause because they are the three things that have- hap pened lately ef V w nature. All other things are just what the used to be. t ' But rascality is as old as Ad7 and there is no need to lay it to new conditions. Condition may increase' 'or lessen vice, promote or discourage some kind of sin, but they do not-eause it Sin is just the evil in the Jrt of man, which I stirred up by tv devil, and it will be always break kg oot under all conditions, in times of wealth or poverty, war or peace, under good laws and bad laws, In about th cam proportion. It cause ia th evil in each man's heart. and the only remedy ia th Grace ef Our Lord Jesus Christ W.hingon, Sept. 11. The Unit ed States has sent a new note de manding that the lives and property rights of all Americana in Mexico be accorded fullest protection by the newly elected government. This notification, Secretary Colby said, is supplementary to representa tions recently directed more particu larly toward protection of American oil interests. It demands protection for all interests. Mexican embassy officials are strongly of the opinion that Mexico's reply will be couched in extremely conciliatory terms. This opinion is based largely upon the statement by. President-elect Obregon that, desir ing "to set Mexico right in the eyes of 9ie world," he will appoint impar tial commissions to adjust American claims of reparation, as well ts to adjust disputes over oil properties. Embassy officials express the belief that the United States will be urged not to press its grievance until the new administration is firmly estab lished in office. The section of the Mexican consti tution which provides that all subsoil products are the property of the cen tral government, and cannot be sold by owners of property, will not mili tate against a peaceful settlement. Decrees issued by Carranza under this provision, and which have been assailed as confiscatory, are now be fore the Mexican Supreme Cou.;. While Mexican officials do not r diet that the constitutional pro 1 will be set aside, they expre-- c dence that its administrati. ,. -.vill be "fair and Just" . . i TRIESTE SCEUE ' OF CIVIL 11.
