DR.. WILLIAMS ASKS
FOR AN INVESTIGATION
Wants Allegation That Catawha Is
Too Costly Probed By
Governor.
COST LESS THAN OTHER STATES
Governor Says Such Investigation Not
Vow Practtcahless But Refers Mat
ter TO Commission ON Efficiency
and Economy.

FOLLOWING the report OF the State
auditing Committee which criticised
the per capita cost OF patients at the
Catawba Sanitorium. claiming that 1t
was excessive, and suggesting that the
institution be placed under control OF
a board OF visitors. the State Board
Of Health being relieved of its care.
DR.. Ennion O. Williams. State Health
Commissioner, yesterday asked the
Governor to make a thorough investi-
cation OF the sanitorium. DR.. Will
liams stated In his letter that the cost
OF maintaining the patients at the in
stttution was less than that OF similar
institutions In other States.
Governor Stuart replied as follows.
referring the matter to the Commission
on Efficiency and Economy:
Il am in receipt OF your letter OF
November eoth. requesting me TO
name a committee to mako an investt-
CATION Of Catawba Sanatortun.
There are practical difficulties IN
the way OF com pliance with your re-
quest In that the report OF such q
committee could have no legal stand
ing. and also In view OF the fact that
since there Is no fund from which to
defray expenses OF a body OF this sort,
It would be difficult to get oitigens
to serve.
Happily your desire can be ocrn-
piled with by referring the whole mat
ter to the Commission on Efficiency
and Economy, authorized by the Gem
eral Assembly at its last session. with
duties which cover just such . sttna-
ton as that now presented

president Wilson's faith in demo
cracy, and the unselfshness Of the
United States In international deal
ings, have been strikingly expressed
in his Mexican policy.
1.-THE Presidents demand for Mexico
is-Justiee."
The larger phases Of the relations
Of the United States with Mexico
during President Wilson's Admins
tration as well as an interesting and
complete narrative Of events are pre-
scented authoritatively In the Mexican
chapter of the Democratic National
Text Book, from which these quota
lions are made: ',.f
1.-TWO considerations have animated
the President in the formulation of
his Mexican policy and have compelled
his adherence to 1t throughout his Ad-
ministration, namely:
1.-THE firm conviction that all ma
tions, both the weak and the power
fuI, have the InvloIabIe right to control
their internal affairs.
"The belief, established upon the
history Of the world, that Mexico will
never become peaceful and law-abid-
Ing neighbor Of the United States un-
eli she has been permitted to achieve
q permanent and basic settlement Of
her troubles without outside Interior
ence..
1.-THE Mexican problem in its pres
ent form has existed for the American
Government ever since our frontier
was extended to the Rio Grande. When
the people maintained the peace 1t was
because they were forced to do so, and
not because justice reigned in the
land. Thus 1t was that the history
of Mexico, like the history Of every
aspiring people, pressed upon Presi-
dent Wilson's consideration the truth
that no permanent good relations
could exist between this great North
ern Republic and the one immediate
ly South of us until she had been left
free to put her house in order. how
ever painful that process might be
and whatever the demands 1t might
make upon the forbearance of the
United States"
"There was a powerful pressure for
war-a terrible war-by weII-armed
powerful nation against an unarmed,
bankrupt people exhausted by five
years of civil strife, but who still re-
tanned enough Of patriotic feeling to
unity them against an invader. 1t
was the old. old question whether the
United States should impose peace
on Mexico; whether. for the sake Of
the interests Of few Of its citizens.
1t should permanently suppress MeXi
co.'s approaching toward freedom and
self-government."

ty in any one year was $4,000 tons.
In 1909, the amount of dairy pro-
ducts shipped was $4,000 pounds.
During that year 40 miles of road
were improved at an expense of $780,
900. In 1911, two years after the
improvement, 1900 tons of farm
and forest products and $4,000
shipped. The increase was As and
140 per cent respectively in these
two classes of products. The in
crease in wheat shipments was SO
per cent, in tobacco 81 per cent and
in lumber and otner farm products
48 per cent over the best records
made before the roads were i'm
proved. This is by no means all of
the direct result of having good roads
for marketing. Careful studies of
traffic in the county were made by
Commissioner Coleman for two years
which showed that it cost at least
20 cents to haul a ton a mile on
unimproved roads and IL cents
ton mile on improved roads. The
records showed that the average haul
Of $4,000 tons of products was eight
miles. Consequently the improve
ment of the roads over which the
hauling was bone saved the farm
ers SAL 500 in marketing $4,000 tons
Of products. This sum saved in only
two years, is over two-fifths of the
cost of the road work which affect
ed it.

vided by the present political issues
Here are few examples. J. A. Fl.

Of the Progressive (genuine) national
committee, and has announced that
he personally favors the reelection Of
Wilson. Mrs. Hopkins is a member

all the militarism Hughes and his
backing can secure. Amos Pinchot,
his brother, Is member Of the
American Union Against Militarism
and will support Wilson as the lesser
Of two evils. Rep. William Kent Of
California Is a wild-eyed enthusiast
for Wilson and is heading a Wilson

and will stump for the defeat Of Will
son.
George Middleton has allied himself
with the group Of writer's who have
announced themselves for Wilson,
while his wife, Fola La Toilette, Is one
of the members Of the Congressional
union who will hold Wilson respon-
sible for the defeat of the Susan B.
Anthony amendment. Meredith Mich

ALLIES LOSE MILLION MEN
IN 8 MONTHS, BERLIN SAYS
Have Little to Show in Land Gained
Experts Point Out

BERLIN.-The allies have lost
more than million men in killed,
wounded, and missing since the
grand offensive against the central
powers opened with Russian attack
three months ago.
This estimate was made today by
German military experts, who said
they thought it conservative.
Against these losses the allied
armies have only the conquest Of
Bukowina and some Galician terri
tory by the Russians, the capture Of
Goritz by the Italians, shallow
thrust into the German lines on the
Somme, and the occupation of noun
famous Pennsylvania territory by the
Roumanians as positive military
achievements.

DEFINITE RECORDS OF ECO.
NOM1C VALUE OF ROADS.

1t Is often difficult to make farmers
believe that good roads are of finan-
cial value to them. They agree read
lily that good roads are desirable as
a means of making rural life less
narrow. They agree that good roads
make it easier for children to go to
school, for the doctor to reach the
farm, and for all hands to meet for
religious and social purposes. But
many of them say that it Is mere
theory" to claim any direct finan-
cial results from road improvements.

Now, theory, II true, is just as help
full as are the facts, and in this case
1t is easy to show how facts support
theory. The facts can be obtained
with the help of officials of the rail-
ways shipping farm products out of
a district before the roads were i'm
proved and after the improvement.

taken as an illustration. The figures

POPULAR HUGHES CAMPAIGN
FUND.-.

The plan adopted by Cornelius N.
Bliss, Jr., treasurer of the Republican,
National Committee, to raise money
for the campaign and increase the
force of active workers for the cleo.
ton of Charles Evans Hughes to the
presidency has peculiar merit. Mr..
Bliss asks every one who favors the
election of Mr.. Hughes and wishes him
to have the support of Republican
Senate and House to contribute $40
and become sustaining member of
the Republican party. All such will
receive a certificate of membership.
That the money will prove good in
vestment is patent. 1t will help to Sc
cure for the country more efficient
administration of our national affairs,
which is necessary If the prosperity
and influence of the nation is to con-
tinue.
There are at least 100000 Repub-
leans, but how many of them have
any evidence they are, beyond the con-
seriousness that they have voted or
will vote the Republican ticket? The
work is done by few and the money
ordinarily is provided by fewer. Mr..
Bliss plan offers cure for that con-
dition. Help the cause and get GER
tificate of membership that will estab-
fish your party utilization. 1t is not
expected that all the 100000 Repub-
leans will give $40 each, but If a
goodly number who can afford it do
so there will be a great many more
able to give much more than $40 next
time because Republican success will
mean to the country in fullest measure
preparedness, protection and perma-
nent prosperity.
Mr.. Hughes is seeing how big the
West Is, and the West Is seeing how
big Mr.. Hughes is. 1t is happy ar
rangement.
Friends of Wilson are still trying
to explain what he meant by ''too
proud to fight" But can they tell us
what he meant by "strict accountable
ity"
Eminent judges" says Colonel Hen
ry Watterson, have ever proved dis
appointing candidates." He is right.
Alton B. Parker was big disappoint-
ment to the Democrats. And so is
Charles Evans Hughes.-Toledo Blade.
President Wilson appears to have
been keenly alive to the expedency
of accepting several invitations to
make speeches in the West. Nobody
knows any better than he that it will
take considerable shoveling to fill up
the holes that have been dug in that
locality by Justice Hughes.
It was John P. St. John of Kansas,
one time Prohibitionist candidate for
president of the United States, who
said that Americans vote as they
cheer. II so, there is mighty little
consolation for the Democratic party
in this campaign, for the Democratic
Administration in three years has CIV
en- US nothing to cheer over. On the
contrary, as Mr.. Hughes has said,
these last three years have been years
Of humiliation and embarrassment.
Mr.. Wilson says his mind Is pro-
gressive, but those who try to follow
Its progress can never tell the direc-
ton 1t Is taking. 1t Is just as likely
10 be progressing backward as for
ward.
