Washington. Feb. 27.--Whether or
not any international complications
are added to those already facing the
United States by the publication in
Secretary of the Navy Daniels paper,
the Raleigh News and Observer, of an
advertisement calling on Americans to
cross the Canadian border and enlist
I'm the American Legion Of Honor,
there are complications a-plenty in
the editorial rooms Of the Raleigh
News anu Observer.
Secretary Daniels sent over the
wires to Raleigh yesterday q call
down" to the managing editor which
said: III am astounded that YOU should
ever have permittd such a thing to
appear. Never let such a thing hap
pen again"
The secretary yesterday was plainly
upset about the advertisement. When
the matter was called to the attention
OF the State department. cOnsiderabl
amusement was aroused. Several cab
met officers demanded copies, declar-
Ing smilinGly that they would like to
confront MIR. Daniels at one OF the

Henry A. Wise Wood. made public
here today, Justice Hughes. reiterates
his declaration that he is not a candi-
date for the presidency. Mr.. Wood had

or to make statements of the sort
that would be expected from candi-
dates for Office.
Il am not a candidate. actively or
tacitly. and as do not wish to do
anything which would justly be re-
garded us an attempt to obtain politi-
cal supp ort. must ask to be excused
from answering your inquiry"
Mr.. Wood. In his letter to Justice

position on the question of his candi-
dacy. saying that many influential
persons insisted that finally he must
consent to run.

Cooperation I'm Fertilizer Buying.

The fertilizer situation this year
presents a problem different from
any that has confronted the users OF
fertilizers in the country in any pre-
vious year 1t is true that prices have
been affected by war conditions
whio:: make it more costly to produce
acid phosphate, ana other fertilizer
materials have also materially aa-
Vanced In price. 1t seems to be ap-
parent that the "war cause" of the
rise In price Of fertilizers will be
used to the limit, and under this pre-
text efforts no doubt will be made to
push the prices abnormally high. In
war times the spirit of graft and
plunder" gets in the air, and it seems
to be catching. This year farmers
who are in the market for fertilizers
will need the advice and counsel and
protection of the Farmers Union
more than they have ever needed 1t
before. which is equivalent to saying
that they will need to apply the prin-
ciple Of cooperation IN arranging, for
the purchase of fertilizers il the best
prices are acknowledgements

stnndard in. tho. fundamental institu-
tions of humanity.

STANDARD in, tho: fundamental institu.
tions of humanity.
America ought to keep out of this
war. She ought to keep out of this
war at the sacrifice Of everything ex-
cept this single thing upon which
her character and history are found
ed, her sense of humanity and JUS
tice. If she sacrifices that, she has
ceased to be America: she has ceased
to entertain and to love the trad lions
which have made us prepared to be
Americans. and when we go about
seeking safety at the expense of hu.
manity. then for one will believe
that I have always been mistaken in
what Ishave conceived to be the
spirit of American history.
you never can tell your direction
except by long measurements. You
can. not: establish q line by two posts:
you have got to have. three at least
to know whether they arc straight
with anything and the longer your
line the more certain. your measure
ment. There Is only one way in which
to determine how the future of the
United States is to be projected, and
that Is by looking back and seeing
which way the lines ran which led US
to the present moment of power and
of opportunity"
The American roll Of honor, the
president said, consists only of the
names Of men who have Squared
their conduct by ideals of duty"
And i wish." he added, that
whenever an impulse to settle q thing
some short way tempts us we, might
close the door and take down some
old stories Of what American idealists
and statesmen did in the past and
not let any counsel. in that does not
sound in the authentic voice of Amer
lean tradition. Theh we shall be cer-
tain what the lines Of the future are
because&we shall know We are steer
ing by the lines Of the past. We shall
know that no temporary convenience,
Elio Temporary expediency will lead us
either TO be rash or to be cowardly,
II, would be just as much ashamed
to be rash as would to be a coward.
Valor IL self-respecting. Valor is cir
cumspect. valor strikes only when
IT Is right to strike. Valor withholds
itself from all small implications ana

opportunity when the sword will flash

IMPROVEMENTS AT ASYLUM.

Columbia. Feb. pa closer peru
sal makes it apparent that a clause in
the section Of the appropriation for
the State Hospital for the Insane is in
the nature of saving clause of the
100000 for improvements at the As
ylum. the legality of which has been
called into question.
Under Section 26 making the appro-
pirations for the salary of the superin-
tendent and of the maintenance of the
Hospital. which is $685. occurs this
languages:
Whereas. the General Assembly at
the session Of 1915 provided for the re-
building of the State Hospital by the
levy of one-half mill and provided that
the proceeds of said levy be used for
said rebuilding during said year; and
whereas, the policy adopted then
was to continue said levy for the pur-
pose Of providing $150,0oo annually
for rebuilding for a period of four
years:
BE it provided, that the Governor,
the Comptroller General and the State
Treasurer be. and they are hereby,
authorized to borrow and pledge the
credit Of the State for an amount not
exceeding fifty thousand ($50,0Oo)
dollars in anticipation Of the collec-
ton of taxes IL it be found by the re-
gents that 1t is necessary to expend for
rebuilding a sum greater than the
amount Of 100000 herein appropriat-
cd during the year 1916"
1t will be noted that the language
of this saving clause is "the amount
Of 100000 herein appropriated dur
Ing the year 1916" In addition to
this the recapitulation OF the Asylum
carries the total Of $41S, 900. showing
that this amount includes the $780,
600 for improvements specifically
mentioned in the above saving
clause.
In the case Of the appropriation for
the Old Soldiers Home. which was
passed upon by the Supreme Court a
few years ago. and which is cited by
some as analogous to the present sit
uation. the only mention made In the
appropriation then for the Old SOL
dfers Home was in the recapitulation
Of the appropriation bill. Not only ia
the 100000 for improvements at the
Asylum included In the recapitulation
In the present appropriation bill, but
I 1t is specificall mentioned In Section
i26, already quoted above. This is the
difference then between the case OF
the Old Soldiers Home appropriation
and the appropriation for the Asylum
this year, and many competent au-
thorities believe that the Supreme
Court will decide that the language of
the appropriation bill Is. definite and
clear. and that the $1,000 for inn
provements at the State Hospital for
the Insane has been made and is
available for use Immediately.
The only way out the proposition
appears to be friendly test suit
mandamusing the Comptroller dener-
al to be brought before the Supreme
Court; and it is believed that the inn.
portance Of the situation would cause
the Court to render an immediate de-
cision. This is the view taken by some
of the Administration leaders.
