It is tiif -ymiH.l of titi'ii-hip, iven to tlu.se capulie of self-government. It b t lie iiht protective of all oilier rints without whii-ii no riyht already obtained ean he safely Ruar.lt'-I. It is ttie !afe hannel through which the voice of tiie oppressed or au exploit ed elass may leeoiiie articulate. It U the irreat elueaUr. which stimu lates citizens to reflect on public prob lems, public weltare ami public charac ters. It is the best instrument ever devised to measure accurately public opinion in the shortest possible time. It is the necessity of the many, not the privilege of the few; the necessity of the wage-earner as of the home-seeker. It is the peaceable weapon of civiliza tion, where ballots take the place of bul lets, an.l can be used equally by the weak and the troig. It is the guarantee of equality before the law of every individual human being who uses it. It is the ultimate source of power in a democracy, ai. 1 the foundation on whien rests our entire government. Women need the ballot as well as men. Roosevelt's Four Sons. The Argonaut.

FEAR AMERICAN AUTOS WILL DISRUPT RUSINESS German Auto Manufacturers Want No Competition From American Made Machines. (By The Associated Press.) RERLIX, Sept. 2.1 The Germans are fearful that thousands of the American automobiles sold by the American Exjie- litionary Force to the French will be smuggled across the German border, con stituting an undesirable invasion of the German automobile industry. It is said here that it,000 American cars were sold to the French. Germany is reported to be very short of tires and tubes for automobiles and bicycles. Experts say that Americans have stored up quantities of tires in the occupied territory whirfc' can be sent over into unoccupied Germany and sold on the market at prices which the Ger man manufacturer cannot meet. There is io question in the minds of the Germans that there is an adequate supply of rubber in the world and the financial papers say that rubler produc tion was more than doubled from 191.1 to 19H. They say that lack of trans portation prevented some of the rubber crop from being transported from South America to the industrial centers where it is manufactured into tires and pre dict that this difficulty soon will be overcome. A CALL FOR 80,000 CENSUS ENUMERATORS. ..The Director of the Cfcnl. Hon. Sam. L. Rogers, announces that 80,000 enum erators will be needed to take the next census.. The work begins on January 2 and will last about two weeks in cities, and a month or more in rural districts. Rates of pay will vary, depending upon the locality and character of the dis trict to be canvassed.. The avenage pay per enumerator at the census 6f 1910 was about $70.. At this coming ensus it will probably be not less than $100 .."Active, intelligent, and reliable men and women, not less than 18 years of age, are needed for this task," said Di rector Rogers, "and, in a sens;, this is a call for volunteers.. The importance of. a complete, and. reliable, census especially in these critical times when more than tver before perhaps we need complete data regarding population, con ditions, tendencies,, and resources,, can hardly be overemphasized.. The reorgani zation of the social and economic struc ture and the readjustment of interna tional relations necessitated by the War must be based on accurate knowledge if we are to act wisely and deal justly with all classes and all interests.. It is hoped, therefore, that public-spirited energetic people throughout the country will vol unteer to act as census enumerators even though they may not care for the posi tions so far as the pay is concerned. I should be sorry to think, and I do not believe, that all our patrotism was used up by the War and none l ft over for public service in times of peace." Dr. -I. M. M-C.,!,.leil.

GREAT BOOM W SEWER BUILDING RALEIGH, Oct. 20 That the people of the State are in dead earnest in their desire to meet the requirement of the State Sanitary Law could be no better illustrated than by the type of eani tary devices being so generally favored. The State Sanitary Law is sometimes called the Sanitary Privy Law, but this is not correct, as it emphasizes the min imum that will be accepted, where as the goal ultimately looked to in all cases is ttie sanitary sewer. A multitude of towns have decided that the best is none too good for them, and are there fore making immediate ' preparation for replacing all existing insanitary privies with modern, sewerage. More than fifty towns in the State are known to have taken this action already, and many others are daily being added to the list. The following list of towns standing in the forefront of progress is most in spiring: Ahoskie, Windsor, Enfield, Jackson ville, Lillington, Asbeboro, Benson, Bes semer City, Chadbourn, Forest City, Frauklinton, Spring Hoie, Kings Moun tain, P.eaufort, Belhaven, Monroe, Wades boror, Newton, Williamston, Gastonia, Ellerbe, Acme, Hertford, Roih.t, Eliza beth City, Kiuston, Selma, Snow Hill, Wake Forest, Warsaw, Mount Holly, Mount Airy, Mount Pleasant, Zebulon, Wendell, Goldsboro, Statesville, Wash ington, Clayton, Clinton, Aulander. Sewer systems, of course, presuppose water systems to go along with them. In many instances the water has already preceded sewerage, but in many others it is necessary not only to build the new sewers, but to install water systems as well, which makes the action of the towns not only more commendable, but likewise more valuable. WOMAN WILL HELP ENFORCE ' ANTI-PROFITEERING. LAW. .... :- - ... (By The Associated Press) LOXDOX, Sept. 23. (By The As sxiated Press.) Wotrujn are to have an important part in enforcing the anti-profiteering act under instructions for its en forcement issued by Sir Auckland Geddes, President of the Board of Trade. Local authorities in England, Scotland and Wales are instructed to appoint local committees, two-members of which must be women, to investigate all complaints arising from the sale at retail of the ar ticles to which the anti-profiteering act may be applied, from time to time, by the Board of Trada. Complaints must be heard in public ex cept in particular cases and books or documents must be treated as confidential if the owner so desires. The committee may either dismiss the complaint or if satisfied the profits is un just, require the seller to repay the a mount paid in excess. The Committee al so may cause the arraignment of the prof iteer in court where he will be liable on conviction to fine of not more than $1,000 or imprisinment not exceeding three months or both. CLEMENCEAU WILL NOT ACCEPT HIS SALARY (By The Associated Press) PARIS. Oct. 1 Premier Cleinenceau 's repeated statements to tbe effect that he would not accept the salary paid to members of the French Academy after he has taken his seat among the "Im mortals" recalls the fact that Napoleon never failed to collect this same stijend. There has been found among the Na poleonic records, the Emperor's personal daybook, in which were minutiously in scribed all receipts and disbursements. The l.o(5 volume begins thus: "Salary of bis linirial and Royal Majesty as member of the Institute; 1.2M" francs." Not one of the academicians least of all Cletneneeau, who have occupied seats under the cupola across the Bridge of Arts since the djiyi of Richelieu can boast of an item similar to the second one in Napoleon's budget. It read: "French civil list, Emperor Napaleon, 2."i,ooo,it(H francs. " LORD MAYOR'S COACHMAN, A. WRIGHT, IS DEAD. (By The Associated Press) LONDON, Sept. 24. A. Wright, who as the Lord Mayor's coachman was known to all London and who for years nourished as one of its most picturesque characters, is dead. For 27 years Wright played his part until the people came to regard him as an institution quite as im portant as the Lord Mayor himself. His greatest moment was when in 1906 Sir W. Vaughan Morgan, as Lord Mayor, visited the French captial and Wright, the state coach and six horses were taken over. Paris was. delighted by him and all his glory. The coachman in his full regalia, with his wonderful wig, his stockings, three-cornered hat anil gold braid, quite eclipsed the more ordinary personage of the Lord Mayor. Wright was proud of his office and nothing could tempt him to forsake it. The offer of Royal service under the late King Edward even failed to entice him from his impressive box. ROME, Oct. 22. This is the second shock experienced within two days, one being felt yesterday. Today 's shock was of considerable strength. Lansing is reported to have said that the American people would reject the Treaty if they understood it. Then they will never reject it Greenville (8. C.) Piedmont.

PARIS, Oct. 22 Formal ratification of the German peace treaty probably will le accomplished October .'J0 and a call will be issued that date for the first meet ing of the council of the league of na tinos, to take place within ten days. The French foreign office explains that the delay, as had previously been stated, was due entirely to the great amount of preliminary work before the convention could be put into effect, such as the creation of commissions and the preparations by the military missions for the tasks provided them in the terras of the treaty. New York, Oct. 21.
