Despite views to the contrary,
the war is not causeless, at all. il
the idea OF it held by DR.. E. W.
Skies, of Wake Forest College, is
correct. DR.. Skies at the Normal
College yesterday used an array
of tilne-worn facts to prove that
the improper division o. land is
primarily the reason for IN g
struggle. He thinks the splitting
up of the earth into small acre
age for personal tenantry is the
secret for better times for man.
The owners OF small plots OF

making their living by steady
labor, are not war-like and do

The Wake Forest man is right,
in a large measure, we believe, for
the greed which causes predato-

This is an era OF good roads,
not because it is an era OF great
er material wealth, but because
it is an era ofgreater intelligence.
Good roads are not conditioned
upon a wealthy citizenship. Du-
ring the last summer we Travelled
over roads which in our earlier
years were terrors to travellers,
but are now as ''sand clay" al.
most equal to the asphalted av-
enue. lt.required comparatively
little money to bring about this
change. The ''sand clay" is a
marvel Of cheapness.
We know of nothing that adds
more certainly to the wealth and
prosperity of the country than
the good road. 1t leads to more
prosperous farms, to more -four
ishing towns, to a larger a II d
more remunerative trade.
The good road brings it's bless
ing to the Church. 1t is truly one
Of the highways of the kingdom
of God. We wonder ii Christian
ministers are as interested as
they should be in the question of
good roads. Certainly the church
cannot have it's good roads con-
ventions and highway propa-
gandas, but the principle OF SER
vice and safety and progress for
which the church stands, through
preachers and private members.
push it's way into this great
good-roads movement and help
to prepare a way for the onward
progress OF righteousness. The
good road means the stopping
of the exodus from the rural Sec
ton to the city. 1t means the re-
hibilitation of rural church life
1t meansa largeropportunityfo fo1
the christian worker. 1t mea ms
more rapidly growing christian
congregation. 1t is one factor il
the inevitable eXaltation of Hin
who promised to be all in all.-

Many Union Veteran viii Vote for Pres.

Mr.. II. E. c. Bryan, Washing
ton correspondent to the News
and Observer, sends out fhe fol-
lowing through the columns OF
that paper
:sAepublican politicians are
worried over the popularity OF
President Wilson; they fear the
breaking down of party lines i'll
the 1916 election.
"There is real hope OF tearing
from the Republican ranks men
who never flickered before: Demo-
cratic leaders are very m u C h
pleased with the situation as it
now stands.
"The President is sticking to
his task; serving the people OF the
United States as no other man
has done in years.
"Hundreds OF Union veterans,
who were here to attend the meet.
ing of the Grand Army of the Re-
public, told President Wilson
as they passed through the white
house to speak to him that they
were going to break a lifetime
record and vote for him-a Dem
ocrat-for the presidency. One
old New Englander said: II have
never voted for q Democrat fol
President since the war, but Ian
f0 you, and if | Jie before l vote
next year | will ask my sons ant
grandsons to support you. Yo'
are making us a great Presiden
and have won 10, us bloodles'

"It is that sort OF talk t h q
makes the Republicans sick. Th
effort to beat up an issue has fail
ed, the President is more power
full, more popular and more coul
ageous than ever before. His po
icies are working out"

"Pokerisagentleman 'sgame,'
remarked Mayor Bell, of Indian
apolis, Ind, on trial for election
corruption, land with gentlemen
of high standing" The mayor
admitted that he played poker
at q hotel but would not permit
crap games in the negro dis
trict.
Poker may be a "gentleman's
game" but it would probably be
difficult to show thatit is always
played by gentlemen. For in
stance, playing poker is a viola
ton of the law and a gentleman
can't violate the law and then
claim immunity on the ground
that he is a gentleman. The first
and most important requisite ola
gentleman is justice and fairness

does not claim for himself .privi-
leges he is unwilling to grantoth.

ers, especially those weaker and
OF lower station, what he would
not claim for himself. Therefore
the man who plays pokero or does
other things in violation of the
law and claims immunity on the
ground that be is a gentleman"
save the mafk!-has not t h e
first conception OF the meaning
of the word If he had, instead OF
claiming that it is all right to
overlook the gentlemen who play
poker while at the same time it
is all right to prosecute negroes
for playing craps, he would d
promptly admit that he, being a
gentleman and by education and
environment knowing the wrong
of violating the law, should have
set a better example; and that il
lenience is to be shown anybody
it should be shown those who
lack the opportunities he had;
and who because of their ignor-
ance and their environment lack
that conception of the duties Of
the citizen a gentleman should
have.

To the Press OF North Carolina:
Relying on the generosity and
public spirit OF the press OF the
press OF the State the undersign-
ed are emboldened to ask OF our
newspapers such timely and tell
ing help as they are able to give
US in impressing upon every man
woman and child in the State OF
North Carolin the Importance of
= contributing one days income to
the orphanage work OF the State
as a Thanksgiving Offering.
The orphanages of the State
are contributing largely to the
enrichment of the life of North
Carolina. They are gathering up
the waste material and transfor-
ming 1T into valuable citizenship.
They, more than any other in
stitutions of whatever kind, are
beginning at the beginning OF
things. They are molding ind-i
gent childhood into useful man
hood and womanhood exactly at
the point where the process OF
training is vital; and they are do
ing this work for the most part
without the cost of a copper to
the State.
The movement to secure a con
tribution OF one day slabor from
every citizen was begun la t
spring. At a meeting held in Raj
elgh Sept. 2Sth, the executive
committee met and formally
launched the campaign. The ed
ltors OF North Carolina were the
men towards whom the members
of the committee first turned their
eyes. We are counting on these
men who, more than any Others,
shape and control ourpublic SEN
timent, to stand by us in this
movement and make the next
Thanksgiving notable in the an
nails of the States history.
We are often called on to do
honor to the dead and this is a
sentiment that is creditable and
worthy, but in this movement
we are called upon to perform a
service for the living at a time
and place where that service will
tell most nightly on coming a.
ges. Thousands Of children ar
safely sheltered in our Orphan
Homes, but four times as many
are uncared for and left to shift
for themselves in a world oftemT
tation and peril without a faith
er's counsel or a mothers care
without a home, a penny or
friend.
1t is primarily in behalf OF thes'
homeless ones that this move
ment IS launched. We must en-
large our orphanages and admit
more OF the little ones on t h
outside. who are clamoring tC
come in. Each institution in th'
State is crowded to its utmost
capacity, with a stream OF chill
dren standing at the gate ant
crying for admission. If a tithe o
the citizens OF North Carolin,
will give the price Of one day'sla
bor to the orphanage work i
will mean the salvation OF a thol
sand North Carolina children nov
on their way to the dogs and tn
devil. Is this work not worthy O
the best effort of every good cit
izen?
It's our hope that every Nortl
Carolina pastor will gladly ant
freely give his best efforts to tn
advancement OF this movement
We hope and believe that t he,
will urge those OF their congregs
tion who have an income to sa
credly set apart one days wor
to this great cause, and send
forward to the orphanage OF hi
.ho;oa IN or noar Thankspiyin
