Hughes, Republl can candidate for , the presidency, "opened his campaign' with a speecn at Detroit, Mich., last night. He aa sailed President Wilson's Mexican policy, his foreign policy, his diplo , matl'c appointments and his handling of the civil service. If Mr. Hughes "set the woods afire" or stirred up any great amount of enthusiasm tne press dispatches fail to make note of ' it Is easy to', criticise.' Anybody can dd It. Mr. . Hughes, however. " while severely 'criticising Mr. Wil son's policy did not Intimate how he would have handled the situation to better advantage, r He indulged 1 some bombastic oratory; a to Amer ican rights the worl4 over and the 'protection of American' Uvea any and everywhere. All sounds mighty nice and patriotic, don't It. But suppose Mr. Hughea had been president tn etea'd of Mr Wilson.'. . J( you believe what he says now you cannot help ' but believe that he would have In sisted on us fighting those countries which have not been just as nice and polite aa he thinks they ought to have been. The result would have been to draw us Into the world-war. Instead of 'listening to political speeches we would be fighting And Mr. Hughea says he doesn't want war He knows that the people of this country don't want . war. But he is unwilling to give Mr. Wilson credit for having ,' engineered this eountry through the most dangerous years' of -its history with honor and else but Wilson could have 'brought '" ua aafely thus' far along the perilous route that the United States has had to travel for the past two years. Mr. Hughes' ' criticisms are ' the cheapest kind of clap-trap and will not fool the American people. It is not mentioned in the dis patches that Mr. Hughes told his hearers why Wall Street is backing him, why the Germans are back nig him,' why the financial interests that want to substitute a central bank lor the federal reserve system - are Tor ' him. why the advocates of armed in tervention In Mexico ; are for him. why the trusts are for him. why an the elements of political reaction are for him. . ; .If Mr. Hughes would discuss some of these subjects he would come nearer touching some of the real is sues of the campaign. - Is be afraid to talk about them? tlysterious Pains and . Aches Make Life Hard to Bear for Many Gait nia Women. . Too many women mistake their pains and aches for troubles peculiar to the sex. More often disordered kidneys are causing the aching back, dizzy spells, headaches and irregular urination. Kidney weakness ." be- 5 comes dangerous if neglected. . ' Use a time-tried kidney remedy -Doan s Kidney Pills. Hosts of people testi fy to their merit.. Read a Gastonia Case k ' 1 - - -, Mrs. J, 6.Poole, 170 W. Second Ave, Gastonia, says: "I had in flammatory rheumatism " and was down for weeks at a time, unable to help myself. My health was failina; a h J i A4h Im a a Awt r f v y a(va mat aaw relief. My doctor advised me to try Doan's Kidney Pills and I did. A few boxes made my kidneys act more regularly and I didn't have that pain In iry back.

ATIOXS. - SaII wS i til Published weekly by the Gastonia Contribntionj for-thii Vol. 1 THE RIGHT THING For Clean-up Activities -CI ea ' Up 363 Days la the Year Curtail "Annual Clean-up Week. The idea of washing your faces, mi tn nMk . hut once a vear la re sented by every public citizen. r We predict that, with the interest and assistance of our good mayor who la anxious to make a greater city of Gastoala, and the civic committee of the Woman's Betterment 'Associa tion, who work untiringly for Gasto nia, we will after our next clean-up week abolish this Idea and establish a permanent system of. cleaning up that will eliminate the necessity of Clean-up Day, and then Gastonia will have the honor of being the first city In the Carollnas and one of the first in the United States to abolish clean-up weeks, because there is no need for one.' : ; !.;- .v " Through the whole, co-operation of the public schools the city board of aldermen, the civic committee or ladies and the chamber of commerce a foundation can be laid that will call into unified action the necessary agencies that will . keep Gastonia "dressed up" and "ready for inspec tion every day in the year.- Why not abolish the clean-up week a the annual wash day!' Why not so perfect our municipal system for the regular collection of garbage and refuse that there will be no excuse for their accumulation and later dis posal by the heroic agency of "clean up week?" .' . PREPAREDNESS IS KEEPING - CLEAN. It ia cheaper to keep your property clean of weeds and trash than it Is to pay doctor bills or stand a chance of losing a member of your family. Weeds and trash breed flies and flies carry disease. Trash accumu lated is often the cause of a fire and the fire destroys property and some times life. Look around your house, your office or your store, get that trash out of the corners before It starts a fire. Cut the weeds down on your scant property and in front on your vacant property and In front so that there will be no stagnant wa ter. This will make your vacant lot more attractive and it will enhance In value. It will make your neighbors think more of you. and they will boost your 'property and probably be the means of helping you sell it if that la your wish. Death of Mrs. Klmore. " 5' Following an illness . of 'several weeks with typhoid fever Mrs. Dons E. Elmore died at her home at the Flint mill this morning at three o'clock. She was a youns; oman and a consistent member of the East Baptist chu,rch of Gastonia. Surviv ing is the husband and a very young child. Funeral services will be con ducted by Rev. J. W.
