How carefully Congreae haa pro vided for the dissolution of tha great American war machine with the com ing of peace was emphasised recently by Senator Martin, Democrats lead er. in prepared luminary. The- expansion of fighting forces, of course, ends with the proclama tion of peace, Senator Martin pointed oat, and the collateral agencies are limited as follows: Control of Railroad—twenty-one month*. Control ef telegraph and telephone lines—during the war. Food and fuel control—when state •f war ended and proclaimed. Espionage set—end of tha war. War trade board end export con trol—end ef war.

The Post is the fourth paper we have published in Harnett county, neither one a money maker be ranee we had the unpopular side but we had rather own our own soul and advocate what we thought waa right than to bo a timo server and pander to tho crowd.

THE RESULT. By Savoyard. The C. 0. P. gained a victory Nov ember 5. and time will tell what It will do with it Former President Taft thinks bis party won bocauae of t widespread belief that Woodrow Wilson Is toe much of a pro German to have a free hand in the making of the pease now happily at hand. Republican Senator New, of Indlaaa, thiilca the iocccee of his party Is main ly duo to what he assorts is tho gen eral Impression that Woodrow Wil son ie toe much of a Socialist to domi nate domestic pobelea after the war. Thera were other agencies very ac tive in the campaign, such as the sec tional question raised by Urn O. O. P, firing the Northern heart against the South haeauae af the iaeome las. One reason assigned why the O. O. P. ■hould win was that the comparative ly poor South did not buy ae many Liberty Bondi am the boundlessly wealthy North. Another waa that morn soldiers In oar army from the greatly mare populous north were killed In battle than from the far Wm populous South. Yet another wm the ' Tj.i'n fact that tco many military cumpo for training of our boy* were located In th* South', which has a much milder rlimato than the Korth. Then for »ix years without caseation the Re pubtican party haa maintained a pr*u agency In this town headed by former Senator Bourne, which week ly Bent out ton* of literature preach ing the virtue* of a protective tariff. But the main reason for the Re publican victory ia the railroad quea tion. When we entered th* war It Immediately became manlteat that our boasted railroad ayatcmi ware Impotent to do the work required of them. The government took them over and expended enormoua turns of the public money to lit than for the joh thot juat had to be performed. Wall Street demands the return of the railroads to its ownership, con trol and operation. The Republican party ia committed to that policy. My fellow dtlaena, there la the political paramount of 1920, and It i* likely to smash both political par ties. Suppose the roads arc returned to the atock exchange gamblers and rail road wreckers of Wall 8tre*t did with th* two great New England railroads a few years ago? Th# first thing would be n terrible row be tween Wall Sired ant the public about freight rat»a. You, average Vo.er Will readily agrs* to higher Ircrcht rates thot go into th* treas urer of all the prop)* but he it going to raise a row when high freight rotes sew# to swell the gains that nil the private eoffer* of Wall Street. Thar* Is one problem that is going to be mighty pestiferous. Then there ia the matter of strikes. Noxt to War a labor strike is tho most rulnons thing that can aflirt a com munity. If th* roads are returned to tho ownership of Wall Street, you ran bet all your goods that It will precipitate a conflict between rapi tal and labor. Strike will fellow ■trike aad confidence will fits from the path* of business. Your laborer will hesitate long to engage hi a strike where the government It hit adver sary, Imi on slight provocation ha will precipitate a strike when Wall Street l* his antagonist. That has been shewn a hundred times since this world war began. Thin disposition of the railroads la going to provide some aloof)lt*a nights for timid statesmen In both beat** of the American Congress er* th* world 1* much older. Thau there ie th* merchant marine The government own* and ..II. . great number of mere bent craft on (be high era* engagad In carrying merchandise to and from our coun try. Oar Republican friend* tail ns * ho*. *Mpa most he privately owned and subsidised by the government. There la year paramount It Is or ®ryw bale boasted that our jury a. the inoat efficient in tho world, shin for ship and man for man. If the . i nment con do so well with an an. <1 »hip, why cats it not do equally well With a merchant craft? WhyT /-'ter peace ia made there la goln* to tic great rivalry among tho oa Uo,,i ruperemacy in merchant ma rine. Our Republican friends tall uj thal light null be made for oa by age**vies who completely felled ts ach. >r any turceaa In It all of the last half century. 'lue G. 0. P. promisee protective tor. r. If they attain that, what do the., want with a merchant man nr? Prct ction forbid* foreign trade; a mei hunt ship’s mission is to pro mot , foreign trade, for the reason that a Kcpubl-ran protective tariff conis.Ina duties on raw materials. Thv 1 will never be another tariff duty on wool, for example. Hasra ehu" *: i*. even, wouldn't stand that aflc all them years of free wool. :! again, Penrose and Cummin* could no more ugrae on a tariff bill thnr. I'enrone and Simmon*. It will be u Ight worth a journey across tho ront. icnl to sec a Republican Cen tres make a tariff without a lobby— as tv !l try to akin a beef without u knif* -and lobbies are now bopeksi ly c.
