TRUE AMERICANS

The Old Vets, God bless are every
inch true Americans and although
the weight of years hang heavily
upon them, nevertheless they are
patriotic to the core and their heavy
steps would today become light ana
fantastic, if the strains of Dixie
caught their ears.
At the State meeting in Whining
ton last week these old battled-
SCARED heroes passed resolutions
thanking Wilson for keeping out OF
war with Mexico but offering their
services in the event this country
is precipitated into the war with
any country.
And we know the old Vets mean
exactly what they say and no doubt
would show the younger generation
a thing or two in fighting,
All praise to them, all love for
them.

UNCLE" JOE SPEAKS HERE

Through>th efforts of j. Elwood
Cox Uncle" Joe Cannon made a
brief talk here Saturday evening n
his way to Greensboro. The speaker
was introduced by our townsmsn
Mr.. Cox in brief manner. Said
Mr.. Cannon Il am glad to be here,
close to where | first saw the light
of the day and to look into the fac
es of you men vino appear to be
well fed and we'll clothed. Here in
North Carolina you have great
people and the States of the Union
are made up of North Carolinians
who have done something-who
have made good. Why High Point
is known all over the land; if you
ask most any one what are the
leading furniture manufacturing
cities and they will instantly reply
Grand Rapids and High Point. You
North Carolinas are a wonderful
people and have even greater future
before you. After a few remarks
about political matters in w ich he
stated that Taft should not have re-
ceived the nomination last time, the
train began to move on when Al
bert A. Holton cried out Better
stay and eat supper with us, Uncle
Joe" which was promptly, answered
with the interrogation, will you
have fried chicken?' and the train
was soon out Of sight. Uncle" Joe
is an interesting person and never
fails to draw a crowd. He was

TO THE PUBLIC

The tremendous increase in the
cost of everything entering into the
making of a newspaper: in recent
years is so we'll known as to- need
no repetition here. The price has
advanced from so to IS per cent
and is still going up, printing ink
fcom 100 to 500 q r.cent, type metal
SO to 80 per cent, printers rollers
20 to so per celt and so on down
the line.
AS will be seen the newspapers
are up against it good and hard and
surely it is not asking too much of
the deIiquents to settle their accounts
and thus help the newspaper in its
effort to keep it's nose above the
swirling tides of high prices and OH
of the reef of disaster.
He who helps quickly helps far
more than the fellow who waits.

PALS, THEY BE

The editor has a practical de-
monstration of personal friendship
in a duck and chicken, aged about
three months. Both claim the
same foster mother, that IS the
same hen batched both duck and
chick. All of the family of six died
except the two in question and
they formed an attachment for one
another that is interesting to behold.
Where the duck twaddles the chick
trots and1vice versa, true pals at all
times. While the duck SCOTS into
water and paddles around the chick
looks on with amazement and when
the chick files to a high pinnacle
the same establishment is noted in
the duck. But when they are not
cutting up capers you will find them
side by side with their heads close
together, seemingly contented and
happy in fact we know they are.

collecting all of the taxes from the
North Carolina Public Service Co.,

recently City Manager Lyon got on
to the racket and demanded FIR
High Point that part of the COM
pany's taxable property that prop
erly belongs here which amounts to
something like $1,000 a year. Be-
cause the home office was in Green's
boro that city evidently thought
that everything the company owned
out of Greensboro also belonged to
them for taxation. It's a pity
High Point never got on" before or
we would have been getting $1,000
per year for sometime. Of course
now the back tax can't be recov-

al, which no doubt would have in
cluded guarantees of a decent respect
for the lives and property of Ameri-
cans and other foreigners.
To find something upon which to
hang another series of its blood-and-
tears editorials, the Journal must
needs give to Mr.. Watson's language
a meaning which he never intended
it should have and which the Journal
knew he never intended to convey.
But such is politics. Perhaps we
should not complain that the Journal
employs in defense of the party with
which it is affiliated, and to which 1t
owes its sustenance and its place in
the sun, the scalping knife, the pois-
oned dart and the other weapons
with which it is so familiar and
which, after all, may be the best
means of defending party that must
rely upon something other than logic
and a straightforward exposition of
its principles to maintain itself in
power.

DO YOU FEAR HAPPINESS?

Remember o. Henry's neuras-
thenic? The one who, just as soon
as he began to feel normally content
with the world, said to himself.
This won't do. I'm sick man.
What right have l to be happy"
Well, be assured o. Henry took
that character from real. life.
There's the business man who
pauses in the midst of unparalleled
prosperity to indulge fear of slump
when the war ends. There's the
mother who, with her children rosy
checked and chubby-limbed, shudders
at the colds they are sure to have
next winter. There's the man with
a good job who can't shake off the
thought that a younger chap will
push him out ten years hence.
There's the young wife who wonders
II John will love her when her hair
turns gray. And there's John him
self, who is convinced Young Wife
will be cheated out of his life insur-
ance in case of his death. The fear
OF unhappiness is no more widespread
than the fear of happiness! Thou
sands and thousands of well-fed,
well-clothed, well-housed folk, for
tunate in their work and in their
friends, seem to regard their we'll
being as sort of charm that will
be broken If for but moment they
give way to rejoicing. They are
afraid to be happy.
Now you can point out an elevator
shaft and say to a man, Don't fall
down that shaft" But obviously it
isn't so easy to say don't to thought,
a habit OF mind. Resolving not to
think a certain thought may serve
only to fix that thought all the deep
er in the mind. And so, If you would
erase fear thoughts from your mind,
you must reject the don't" resolu-
tion and adopt the do" You must
entertain those positive thoughts
that, OF themselves, contradict your
fears. You must resolve to have con-
fidence in the future. You must re-
solve to have faith, without which all
the good fortune in the world can not
make you happy! The deluge may
indeed descend. II faith. has made
you brave you will build yourself an
ark. But If on the other hand lack
Of faith has made you coward, even
a ready built ark won't help you. In
the fear 1t will sink, you'll refuse to
board it!
Afraid Of happiness? Faith, ac-
tive, positive belief that the good of
the present is prophet to the good Of
the future, alone can rid you of that
fear.

VIOLET RAYS PURIFY WATER

Ultraviolet rays are being employ
ed to purify the water used in large
natatorium at a st. Louis amuse-
ment park. The September Popular
Mechanics magazine describes this
unusual method of water purifica-
tion. The water is taken from the
deepest part Of the pool, passed
through a series of filters that re-
move the suspended matter, and then
subjected to the bacteridal influence
of the light.
theoretically at least, all germ life
is destroyed by this process. AS the

CHANGED METHODS OF CAM.
PAIGNING.

The seasoned observer Of political
battles can remember methods Of
conducting political campaigns that
would seem very archaic in this fall
election.
The most typical feature Of the
campaigns of thirty years ago was
the torchlight procession. A small
town might get up such parade big
ger than its entire population. II
it had well-drilled company it could
attract detachments from miles
around, on the understanding that it
was to send its company for a return
engagement.
Some terribly long marching jaunts
were taken. If a loyal party member
and contributor was not rewarded by
having the boys march past his house
in their flaring glory, he might get
sore on the ticket. The marchers
cheerfully tramped over the whole
town for the reward of doughnuts
and coffee and the general romp of
the thing.
Not the slightest appeal to public
intelligence was made by this form
of campaigning. If the parade wound
up with a rally, as often occurred,
the speaking was mostly funny stor-
les. These could be supplied equally
well to the other side by changing
the name. Yet these parades made
votes. The side that produced the
longest line and the most skillful
marchers gave an impression as win
ners.
If fellow had drilled and paraded
with the republicans, he voted repub-
ican, not merely that year but for
several years, and similarly with the
democrats. The political managers
perfectly how to use
hese associations for political value. |
That these parades have so largely
,een given up is due to common
ense. 1t was foolish expenditure.
'eople became unwilling to burn up
money for something that added
lothing to education, gave no in
ormation about issues, and turned
ut no more intelligent voters. To-
ay the newspapers are the real po.
itical educators, and campaign funds
pent in print go farthest.

of the state, and could never agar
pass into private hands.
II that isn't pure, unadulteratet
single tax, what is?
But that isn't all.
II is the tendency of renters to i'm.
prove land, or to let it deteriorate
The latter, of course.
So our lands and farm buildings
would gradually deteriorate, woulC
become less productive, and we
would go backward, instead of for
ward.
Under this measure the full earn
ing capacity of the land goes to the
state for tax. Therefore, there is
nothing left with which to take up
the mortgage. The mortgagor could
not pay the mortgage, so the mort
gagee would have to take the land,
and the land would be worthless to
him, for its earnings would 60 to
the state.
Therefore, this measure would rob
all those holding mortgages OF all
the money thus invested.
Is it any wonder that with such
freak laws coming up at every cleo
tion people hesitate to put their
money into Oregon lands or to loan
money on Oregon lands p Ebert

VICIOUS MEASURE

There will he found upon the bal
lot this year the most vicious single
tax measure ever presented to the
voters Of Oregon.
1t will appear under the title, Full
Rental Value Land Tax and Home
steader's Loan Fund Amendment"
While the wording of the meas
ure is somewhat indefinite, its en-
actment would undoubtedly mean
the substitution of full rental tax
on all land in lieu of all other taxes.
1t would make no difference wheth-
er or not such a tax raised twice as
much money as was needed, or wheth-
er it produced only one-quarter the
necessary fund.
What would be the results of such
tax?
Suppose you own 100 acres.
Under this measure you would pay
to the state the full earning capacity
of the land.
Therefore, the land would be worth
not cent to you. The man who
rented a piece of equal value would
earn just as much from his rented
land and would have no investment.
If you should rent your land, the
full rental would 60 to the state.
If the full rental tax was not paid
the land would become the property

DISHONEST JOURNALISM.
(From Oregon Messenger, salem.)

Staggered by the terrific indict
ment of the Wilson administrator
drawn by James E. Watson OF In
diana in his speech at the Bake
Theatre, the Portland Journal resort
to its usual tactics to save its fac,
and bolster its cause.
It selects from Mr.. Watson's speech
single, detached and relatively un
important sentence and builds around
it a column of sophistry, misrepre.
sentation and hypocrisy, and sprin.
kles down the whole mess with a can
of crocodile tears.
1t quotes Mr.. Watson as follows:
IF after we took possession OF
Vera Cruz and soaked its streets with
American blood we had followed It
up, that would have settled the MeXi-
can question"
From this premise the Journal pro-
ceeds to paint a blood-bespattered
chrome of our laborious progress to
Mexico City and the subsequent con-
quest of the southern republic. OF
course If the Journal had been honest
it would have said that Mr.. Watson
made it evident throughout his bril-
liant address that he is not in favor
of war except as a last resort, and
that he is distinctly Of the opinion
that "a firm and fixed policy, with
someone in the White House with
backbone enough to work 1t out to
its logical conclusion" would have
prevented in Mexico the long series
of bloody outrages and events that
constitute Intervention and a state OF
war between the two countries, the
hysterical denials of the democratic
press and politicians to the contrary
notwithstanding.
We gather from Mr.. Watson's re.
marks-which, by the way, made a
tremendous hit with the big audience
that he would have recognized
Huerta-whose title to the office,
though defective, was as good as that
of most presidents of Mexico-that
he would not have flirted with one
bandit leader after another; that he
would have insisted from the first
that American lives and property be
held inviolate; that he would have
exhausted the resources of diplomacy
before invading Mexico and that as a
last resort he would have blockaded
the country and brought it to terms,
as Wilson is now trying to do with
the National Guard on the border af-
ter three and one-half years of watch
full waiting-watchful waiting by the
administration for a miracle to trans
form several millions of Indians and
poems into college professors, and
watchful waiting by the Indians for
opportunities to lift more American
scalps and loot more and still more
American properties.
In fact, Watson made it plain that
after Selling Vera Cruz he would
have blockaded the country, prevent
ing the landing there or elsewhere
of the shipload of munitions which
was the excuse for the battle of Vera
Cruz and the loss of more than a
hundred lives, and from that position
on Mexican soil he would no doubt
have dictated the terms of withdraw
