countenance a doctrine which means
the deliberate slaughter in war of de-
~enseless women and children. Ger
many alone seems willing to stand
sponsor for the effort to incorporate
in the code Of nations a doctrine so
terrible that the civilized world stands
aghast and in open revolt. But it is
useless for her to temporize with this
country in the hope of pursuading the
President to change his mind. The
United States is ~unalterably opposed
to the practices of piracy. or anything
akin to it, and there is little probable
ity that our people would assent TO
methods of warfare even more revolt
ing than those employed during the
dark ages and by the blood-thirsty In
dams who were the terror of early
settlers of "the land of the free and
the home of the brave" 1t is surpris-
ing that Germany should suggest such
practices, much less insist upon &C
tually engaging in them.
The other countries involved have
not sought to save themselves By
making war on non-combatants, or by
destroying women and children by the
wholesale. 1t remains for Germany
alone to defend the practice AMI claim
the right to murder civilians engaged
in business pursuits. The question
involved concerns the whole eharac-
ter OF future civilization. If the Uni
ted States permits the Lusitania Incl
dent to pass it may serve to incorpor-
ate a principle in the code of interna-
tional law and morals that would DO
destructive of all genuine civilization.
and of all the higher ideals and prin-
ciples of humanity hat distinguish
modern warfare from theperiod of the
dark ages. Germany's lengthy note,
composed largely of highsounding
platitudes, is merely a plea for a free
hand to continue her assaults upon
d~efenseless merchant vessels carry
ing other than the American flag, re-
CARELESS of cargo. But the hands of
the Emperor and his sympathizers
have been called by President Wood
row Wilson who has decreed that this
German principle shall not go un-
challenged, for to accept it and adopt
such a school of thought would put
civilization back a score of centuries.
The President realizes, as do all con-
siderate and we'll informed persons,
that it is not our cause alone that is
involved. AS one writer puts it "the
cause of mankind and the cause of
civilization is On trial"

THE FIGHT IS ON INEARNEsT.

That was a great gathering Of tenn
perance workers assembled in Allan
tic City last week for the national
vention of the Anti-Saloon League /
America, and friends of the cause be
lieve the meeting gave renewed i'm
petus to the cause of countrywide
prohibition. Plans for the campaign
to be waged against the liquor traffic
we're formulated by the National Board
bcl Directors. the convention itself be-
ing merely inspirational. A signifi-
cant feature of the convention was the
union of the Catholic Protective
League of America with the Anti
aloon League forces in the fight for
complete temperance reform through
out the country. When Pedestrians
and Catholics get together on a pro-
position. it is not usually a difficult
matter to predict the result of their
efforts. and the liquor interests may
as well prepare to abdicate. The
Catholics are strong in the north and
east, while Professionalism holds the
sway in the south and west. A battle
royal is on in earnest. May truth and
righteousness prevail.
The purpose of the propaganda
against the saloon and distillery is not
SO much. it is said, to reform drunk
ards and moderate dram-drinkers.
VINO have formed habits from which
they decline to break away. but to
enable young men and women to grow
up without the temptation of strong
drink to entice them. Science has
declared that liquor is poisonous to
the human system; religion has found
it the greatest enemy to the church.
the railroads. industrial concerns and
business generally, have outlawed the
vile stuff and the people of this great
Republic will Danish it from their
borders if Congress can be Undue,
to give them, an opportunity. The
Hobson Resolution received a major
,ity vote in the House last winter and
friends Of the measure hope for the
necessary two-thirds favorable to a
similar bill when Congress meets in
December.

NEGOTIATING MATERIAL CUT
FROM 81 TO 40 CTS. PER ACRE

4 HE #EEhN #4
Some years ago the Commissioners
of Agriculture drew a bill, which was
unanimously passed by the Legisla-
ture, to reduce the cost of legume in
oculating material from the exorbi-
tant price of two dollars an acre to a
price at which he felt the average
farmer could afford to use it. The eff
feet of this bill was to reduce the
price of this material not only to the
farmers of North Carolina but to those
of the entire South as we'll, and a
number of the other southern states
have since followed the lead of North
Carolina in reducing the price of this
material to their farmers also.
At first the Commissioner placed a
cost price of fifty cents an acre on
the material with the determination to
reduce the price lower and lower as
the demand increased. During 1914
the Department distributed nearly
5000 acre bottles from August to De-
cember, thus ~effecting a direct saving
to the farmers of the State of over
SIC, 900 in less than four months.
During the past six months the dis
tribution has reached around 1900
acres an dthe' season has hardly open
ed. The Commissioner feels, there
fore, that the time has come to make
another cut in the price, and he now
plans to- reduce the cost price of the
material from fifty cents an acre to
forty cents an acre, beginning July 1,
1915.

NEW METHOD FOR TARIFF REV.
SION.

A whispered report is to the effect
that an effort will be made by the nexE
Congress to take the tariff issue bod
lily out of politics. What a blessing
that would be to the country. In the
past the tariff question has been charg-
ed with more evils than all other
issues known to American politics.
Seldom in the history of the Republic
has any political party succeeded in
Drawing the storms of disapproval that
have followed a revision of tariff laws.
Il the issue can be made a non-parti-
san affair, let it be done quickly. The
plan proposed is outlined in the fol-
lowing manner by the Washington
Star, an anti-administration organ
which SCOTS at the idea:
tons has been prepared, providing
for the appointment of a tariff COM
mission of seven members by the
| Senate, one member to represent ag-
ricuIture, one industrial labor one
manufactures, N trade and COM
merce, n to represent higher educa-
ton and have special training for
scientific investigation and research.
and one to be experienced in tariff
partmental rulings in tariff matters,
! the President to act at his discretion
if he cannot secure such men, and not
more than four of the seven to be of
the same political party. 1t is ex-
pected the commission, if the petit
TONERS get what they want, will have
full powers of investigation, power TO
make reports and recommendations,
have full power of initiative, have
power to hear complaints, and report
upon their Investigations of them,
have a salary of $12 900 a rear, have
a seven-year term, have an automatic
annual appropriations of 100000 to
carry on the work of the commission,
have such a stable existence that it
can be ended only by act of Congress
signed by the President, and not be
exposed to the fate of the previous
! commission of losing it's existence,
! practically; when Congress fails to
make the necessary annual appropri-
alton to maintain it, and to differ at
other points from the previous eff
forts"
It is said that the protected inter
ests of the country are DESTROYS of
placing their business under such
/ permanent tariff conditions that it
will not hereafter be subject to politi-
cal changes" That sounds reasona-

EDITORIAL OBSERVATIONS
(COntrihuted.)
THE GERMAN ATTITUDE.

After weeks of waiting, the Wash
ington government is advised of Ger
many's reply to the second American
note, that memorable document which
cost William Jenning Bryan his Off
.cia1 title and placed him in the role Of
private citizen. It is needless to sug-
agest that the reply to President Will
sons very reasonable demands for
protection to American citizens on the
high seas is not satisfactory. Every
one who has taken advantage of the
opportunity to study the note care
fully knows it does not answer any
thing. The salient points in contro-
versy are not even referred to in the
message from Berlin and nc admission
OF liability is made for the drowning
of more than 100 American men, wo-
men and children on the ill fated
Lusitania. The only reference to that
piece of barbarity appears to be a
suggestion to the effect that officers
of the German submarine which dis
charged the fatal torpedo did not be-
.lieve the great liner would sink be-
fore. the passengers could escape IN
the life boats. The note is considered
in officials circles as evasive and cal
,culated to bring on more talk.
There appears to be general re-
gret that the Imperial German gov
ment seeks to maintain a policy that
the mind of the world, in a very large
measure, denounces and disapproves.
There is general approval of Prest-
dent Wilson's course in refusing to

DYNAMITE BOMB EXPLODED AT
N. Y. POLICE HEADQUARTERS

New York July 5.-A dynamite
bomb was exploded tonight in an area
way outside the detective bureau at
New York's police headquarters. A
heavy door was blown 10 feet and a
number of windows were shattered but
no one was injured. Five prisoners
were locked in a cell 20 feet from the
place where the bomb exploded and
fragments of metal pierced the ceiling
of their cell.
The damaged part Of the building is
close to Inspector Faurot's office.
The police worked on theory that a
a Jail delivery had been attempted but
there was virtually nothing which led
to a definite clue.

A FLY.PROOF CITY.

We have heard of cities wherein i:
would be hard to run down a little
house fly, for which rewards were of
fered. but if there is to be a strict en-
forcement of the ordinances adopted
by the city last week it will mean the
starvation of the pests in Henderson

They constitute a set of mighty good
laws. There are myriads of flies in
Hendersonville now but if the author1-
ties see to the strict enforcement of
the law then we will have solved the
fly problem.
