CANNOT DECEIVE THE VOTERS.

The Republican spellbinders who are
attempting to fool the voters of North
Carolina by an alleged Criticism Of
the Democratic State administration,
are getting into deep water, and are
hopelessly fioundering in the verbal
maelstrom of "criticiz'ng" the domi-
nant party's public school system re-
cord and policy. They have nothing bet
ter to offer, and studiously avoid telling
the voters the whole truth. They re-
fuse to tell their hearers that the last
United States census report shows the
State of North Carolina as having
made a greater reduction in white illit-
eracy during the preceding decade Gall
under Democratic administration
than any State in the American Union.
They fail to state that. under the
new State equalizing fund laws, this
fund in 1916 amounted to SAT-, $40, and
was so apportioned as to 1engthen the
school term in all districts in all coun-
dies (having not over rour months OF
school( twenty and a half days. and to
bring the shortest school term in every
school district of every county in North
Carolina to at least over five months
exclusive of all local taxes for schools
raised by any Of the districts.

school district in the State will have

The National View

War PrOsperity.-The total eX-
ports from the United States for the
year ending June 80, 1916, amount
ed to S4,333,35S,OOO. According to
the New York Times, which is en-
Enthusiastically supporting President
Wilson and which has made careful
study of the subject, three-f9urths Of
lthese exports constituted war trade.
THAT is. Of the export trade of the
United States during the year ending
June 30, S3,249, 100000 was due
solely to the European war. What
does that mean? 1t means that the
amount received from the war trade
would be more than sufficient to pay
100000 workment $3.50 a day for
an entire year of 312 days. What is
to become, then, of at least 3 1000, 900
American workmen when the end of
the war cuts off this trade? Actual

men will be affected because, of
course, the sum received for war
supplies was divided between mater
profit to the employer. 1t is a rea-
sonable assumption in view of the
character of the war exports. that la
Dor did not receive more than half of
the sum paid to the United States
for war supplies. OF course, some
workmen received much more than
$3.50 per day. Others received less,
but allowing for these variations and
for the share which went for ma
terial, rent of buildings, interest on
plant, wear and tear OF machinery
and employers profit, it is perfectly
reasonable assumption that not less
than 100000 workmen were paid
their entire wages out of the receipts
for war materials. Does 1t take a
college professor, or even politician

works from the meeting were disap-
pointed. These men appear to have
decided that 1t would be far wiser
for them to accept the increased
wage scale provided by the Adamson
bill and trust to the Interstate Com
merce Commission to authorize them
so to increase rates as Immediately
to transfer the burden of the increase
wage scale othe people. It was
pointed out by the cooler heads in
their meeting that the Adamson bill
does not go into effect until January

Character of Exports.-The scope
of this letter will permit only a
summary Of the war exports. Among
them we find s173.00O.0 900 for gun
powder; S3,900,O00 for dynamite
and $3.50. 100000 for all other explo-
sives; s1S,O0O,O00 for firearms;
S37 100000 for cartridges; $7.000,-
900 for aeroplanes; $24,000,0O0. for
barbed wire, used In making fences;
nearly $10O,0O0,00O for horses and
mules, S138,000,000 for automobiles
and parts thereof. OF course the in
slant that peace is in sight the de-
mand for all these things must cease.
In fact, many of the contracts already
awarded to American manufacturers
contain a clause permitting cancella-
tion at any time the war shall end.
In his western speeches, Governor
Hughes is urging that a definite pol
icy of industrial preparedness" be
adopted and his insistence upon the
necessity therefor meets with enthu-
siastic response from every workman,
every farmer and every manufacture
