JOSEPHUS DANIELS
(By Associated Press
I omenz, Aprn. ls.-f-rsseoreiajjt juan
iels1 .speaking to the men of the Sec

the army would be taken home as
soon as possible, which brought
cheers and "How soon?"
, A PROCLAMATION
Honor is finer than honesty, as sentiment is higher
than thought. There is scant virtue In merely keeping
the law.
"The fear o' hell's a hangman's whip,
To baud the wretch In order;
But where you feel your honor grip,
let that aye be your border."
In the call to buy Victory Bonds honor grips hard.
To achieve the victory we pledged our lives, our prop
erty, and our sacred honor. The pledge of life' has
been fully redeemed. The blood cost of victory was
paid with solemn pride. To fail or falter in meeting the
money cost would immediately brand us with infamy
and ultimately mark us for destruction. Our sacred
honor drives us to offer our property as freely as'our
soldiers offered their lives. They "fought a good fight."
We must "keep the faith" or wither in fires of self
contempt. The Imperial German Government asserted that
a solemn obligation was but a scrap of paper, and that
government has been consigned to the scrap-heap of
civilization. "God is not mocked," and this nation will
surely become as Nineveh and Tyre if we keep back
the price of our redemption. No nation can survive
that advertises to the world that it holds money dearer
than manhood, that while it was willing to sacrifice the
only son it cannot spare the firstlings of the flocks.
I beseech all ministers of the Gospel and all men
and women of every class and condition who have faith
in the final perseverance of moral values to enlist in
the great Victory Campaign to the end that our national
honor may be redeemed and our destiny secured.
Done at our City of Raleigh, this the 3d day of
April, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hun
dred and nineteen, and in the one hundred and forty
third year of our American Independence.
By the Governor :
SANTFORD MARTIN,
Private Secretary.
