Act Needs Amending.
I'm my inaugural address
stated that our publicity act needs
amending, by eliminating such
items as the publication of the
state Railroad Commission, ju-
rors' and witness fees, and other
items in county accounts. These
are useless expenses and are ex-
travagant charges upon the tax
payers of the state, for publica-
ton of these items are very seldom
ever read. I respectfully suggest
to the splendid members of this
General Assembly that the pub
licity act should be amended
along broader and more general
lines, and | can assure you that
such a measure will meet with
my approval.
Cost of Printing Decreases.
1t is but justice to the news
papers of the state to say that
the cost of printing has decreased
from SIG, 687. SO in 1912 to $45, :
981. Is in 1914, and $36, $50 for
last biennial period, eloquently
revealing the fact that the news
papers of our state have not pur-
sued a selfish and self-seeking
policy. The government esti-
mates that each newspaper pub
lished is read by an average of
five people. This fact shows the
enormous value of newspaper
publications. 1t has been the
experience of all campaigners
that publications in newspapers
are far more valuable, and are
read far more widely than publ
cations in pamphlets, and there
fore, in the long run they are
a cheaper form of advertisement.
The amendment of our publicity
act, along the lines | have sug-
gested, would materially reduce
the expense of our publicity &C.
count, which | firmly believe is a
mighty agency of real democracy
in our state. For,
:Mightiest of the mighty means
On which the arm of progress
leans,
Mans noblest mission to advance,
His woes assuage. his veal en-
nance,
His rights enforce, his wrongs
redress.
Mightiest of the mighty is the
American press. +"
Respectfully submitted,

81 CARL W. ACKERMAN

Berne, Switzerland, Feb. 13.-Ber-
lin was astonished, officials and the
public alike, when President Wilson
broke relations with Germany. That
astOnisRment came because officials
had recently been assured by Ger
man-AmeTicans in the United States
that Wilson would not sever rela-
lions for fear Of a German-AmeTican
uprising. The same belief was held
by the German public.
When the American embassy train
left Berlin, the imperial chancellor,
Won Bethmann-Hollweg, was admit
tedly dOwncast over the situation,
and believed America wanted war
with Germany. 1t was noticeable
also when Foreign Sec'y Zimmerman
received the American correspond
ents shortly before their departure he
was plainly nervous.
He likewise insisted Wilson wants
war" and denied that Germany made
any irrevOcable promises in the Sus-
sex note.
The submarine policy which forced
the break between the United States
and Germany dates back to Novem-
Der.
Writing now from neutral Swiss
soil, it is possible for the first time
to tell the developments which led
Germany to her decision of relent-
less sea war.
Determination to use the subma-
rine in unlimited warfare dates back
to November. It was then that Ger
internal affairs were at the
greatest crisis Of the war. The So
cialists warned the kaiser that I'M
less he moved Immediately for peace,
DR.. Philip Scheidemann Socialist
leader in the reichstag) and other
Socialist leaders would head a mill
tant movement to bring about peace.
This move came at a time when the

SOME REAL NEWS FROM GERMANY

| sentative land owners, controlling
the food supply, and the equally pow
erfUl group of industrial leaders, con-
trolling the munition manufacturers,
told the government the only way 20
end the war was by unlimited sub
marine warfare. These interests have
always been anti-American.
The speech made by Imperial
Chancellor Won -Houweg
in the reichstag early in December
where he announced peace oVertures
won over the Socialists to the sup
port Of any course the chancellor
might advocate.
In the same way the kaiser's sub
marine blockade won over the food
producers and the group of industrial
leaders to a continuance of hOstili-
ties.
The governments peace proposal
united the German people. They be-
ieve firmly they must fight on in
their own defense. Everybody in
Germany is working night and day.
The peace proposal, as well as to
President Wilson's suggestions, so
frightened Turkey that the Ottoman
empire will continue in the war just
so long as Germany defends Con-
stantinople.

where it is getting the support of Ser many. Bulgaria and Turkey. is reflect- ed in the taking over of the army of Poland.
 This army kas raised for the pur- pose of protecting Poland. The mem bers understood that they were not to De called upon for service except such as might be required for the safe- ty of Poland and the prevention of an invasion of that province. But prom fses have gone hitting down the road paved with scraps of paper and Po- land cannot help but look upon it's action in raising the army as a step which was clever1y planned by the central powers for the purpose of fur nishing reserves at a time when they might be required.
 This Polish army is now sent be- yond the borders of Poland and is put into service for the support of the southern battle line of Aus tria, that troops which have -been stationed there may be withdrawn and sent west to offset the steady and dis turbirg advance \of General Cadorna's men. This must disclese to the Poles just what they cen expect in the way of a free Poland from the hands of the Germans or the Austrians. There has always been much doubt about the sincerity of these nations but in this last act the strongest sort of proof has beer received.

PR ESS
THE PRICE OF WHEAT.

The whole country has been taking a deep interest in the price fixing which has been entered into by the government. It, has realized that; some such step was necessitated if the pub lie was going to get the proper pro- tection. from those who are perfectly willing to take advantage of the ex- istfng state of affairs to squeeze every cent that can be obtained from the consumer. The war could be expected to result in prices above what would be demanded under normal conditions but there is no Justification for the manner in which unjustified profits have been exacted.
 While the fixing of a basic price for wheat at Chicago at s2.20 a bushel is not as low as some were inclined to believe that it would. or should, be, and while it is not as low as some wheat has been selling within com paratively short time. it is lower by considerable than the figure at which it has sold and it blocks the possibi1- ity of a return to that high Fate
 The price agreed upon results from a compromise among the members of the price fixing committee and it is their belief that it will permit of the sale of 14-ounce loaf of bread for a nickel Although this is not generally shared in by the bakers, the lowering Of the price of bread is something in which the whole country is interested and it will eagerly await the develop ments which can be expected to fol- low in an effort to >have the commit tees predictions realized At the same time there arc other commodities which require the same amount of dili- gent attention regarding price fixing.

STAINS FROM LINEN.

All tea, coffee. milk and other staV1s or spots R linen should be removed as quickly as possible. If they ap- pear on clean tablecloth, slip beneath the spot a small dish containing hot water.
 Let the stair rest in the water and rub gently with the fingers until it dis appears. Smooth the cloth hy putting a folded napkin underneatc and apply Ing a warm iron, and without having been removed from the table it will appear as fresh as when first launder- ed.
 For str ong tea stains, put a spoonful of sugar on the stain, dip into the wa ter and let it stand for 6 few minutes Afterware rinse with clear water
 Or, if not convenient to treat in this way, cover the stain with quantity of. powdered starch, let dry and remove by brushing.

FOR CLOSER COOPERATION.

There is now in this country the special commission sent from Japan and headed by Viscount Ishii and the latter in addressing the United States senate took occasion e to say that America and Japan must have many things in which the one can help the other. The baron declared We have much in common and much to do in concert"
 This mission has come to this coun- try for the purpose of bringing about a. greater cooperation between the ma tions. It is well understood that there are some questions Of long standing between the nations which are in need of adjustment, or which at least ought not to he allowed to stand ready to be famed into flame as they might be said to be today. These things will undoubtedly be touched upon during the stay of the representatives of Ja- pan and the visit is bound to bring about closer understanding by each country of the others viewpoint.
 Just at the present time tEe two countries are allies in the great war. AS Viscount Ishii said before the sen- ate, they are fighting a common enc my, and it is proper under such con- ditions that they should get down to thorough understanding of each oth- CTS ideals and ambitions as possi- bic. The Chinese question and the treatment Of Japanese in the United States, together with the future policy in the Pacific are matters which will doubtless receive careful consideration during the stay of the visitors and it is to be hoped that such understand ings as may be reached will bring about a closer and greater cooperation and overcome the uncertainty which has existed in the mast

ANrIDoTEsFoR POISON

A knowledge of the antidote for a specific poison may often be the means of saving life.
 For \aciduous poisons those that cause burning from the mouth down to the stomach, the remedies are mag nesia, soda or soap dissolved in water. Administer this antidote every two minutes while waiting for the doctor.
 For arsenic poison, give a prompt emetic of a tablespoonful each of mus tard and salS dissovled in a cupful of warm water; then follow with sweet oil, melted butter or milk The white of an egg in half a cupful of milk will also help counteract the poison, as also will chalk and water.
 If. ono partakes of corrosive subli- mate blue bitrol or bedbuE poison, give at once large quantities of freshly mixed white of egg and water. or give freely of wheat flour and water or soap and water.
 Oxalic acid is iefrequently mistaken for Epson salts. Give immediately soap and water. or magnesia or chalk and water.

AN EARLY DECISION NEEDED

Thoroughly justified are the depart ment of justice officials at Washing ton in regarding the decision of the North Carolina federal judge sitting in the case to test the constitutionality of the child labor law as merely a ve- hicle for getting the case before the highest court in the land.
 Both sides were ready to take an appeal from the decision and it will be hastened along so that if possible it can come before the next session of the supreme court This is a matter which affectx rnany states and mary industries in each of those states The government is optimistic in taking it's appeal and firmly believes that the f. nal decision will shoH that the law is a proper one ant that congress acted within it's rights in placing |: upon she statute books,
 It can hardly be anticipated thai the supreme court wfil find shat con- gress has not the power to IegfeIate for the protection of tho children of this country when the sRatsa ;n which they happen to livs fail to realize their responsibility and neglect to re- spond to their duty. It cannot hs be- lieved that the exploitation Of chill dren can be compelled regardless of their health or their future welfare. It was anticipated that this law would be fought and that an interpretation of its legality would be asked of tho supreme court. and now that such a move has been instituted it is to be hoped that 1t will be followed by as speedy decision os is consistent with good judgment.
