American will win the war, Herbert
Hoover declared in a statement the
other day, because of it's superior re-
sources and through the ability OF
the American people to organize. The
success, already evident, of the na-
tion's voluntary food conservation eff
fort, Mr.. Hoover said, points to a
final victory. Germany accomplish
ed less in this direction in twelve
months" said Mr.. Hoover, ethan our
people have in four. More than two
million wbmen, he said, have enroll
ed as mel nbers of the food admins
tration and pledged themselves to fol
low its directions as to saving food
within the household. And it is safe
to say that many more millions OF
whose pledges no record has beer
made are doing and are going to dc
their possible along this line. "Suc
cess in this war is a question of re-
sources" ssaid Mr.. Hoover, "and the
will and ability Of the people to or
ganize themselves to use them rightly
and to endure the people al
ready have given proof of such viii
and ability.

Republican Leader Mann Of the
House of Congress attempted to start
a joint congressional committee on
war expenditures, but members Of
his party gave him to understand that
no partisan fight would be engage
in at this stage Of the game. Some
took the sensible view that the food
control bill has been delayed long
enough already ard that a commit
tee on war expenditures could be pro-
vided for later if that were deemed
necessary. Some five or six weeks
the food control bill has been delayed
in Congress, and every days delay
lessons the good that its passage can
do. Some Congressman are and have
been working mighty hard for the
Kaiser, though they may not intend
it. Intention is not necessary: they
also serve the Kaiser who simply pull
off asinine stunts in the name of lib
l.erty when quick and sensible action
is needed.

The man who writes the dope for
the Gust Odds and Ends column Of
the Wilmington Star-and who, by
the way, knows how to write and is
getting off some mighty entertaining
stuff done up in mighty neat style
writes that Estate Senator Frank
Cough Of Lumberton has been pro-
claimed by writer in the Presbyte
rian Standard as the blockade preach
err Of Robeson"; and then the "Just
Odds and Ends" man proceeds to re-
late how the title of BLOCKADE preach
er" was coined by the Fayetteville
Index some years ago and fastened
upon Archibald Johnson, editor OF
Charity and Children, and it stuck,
so that for some years now the Thorn
asville editor has been known as the
"blockde preacher" all over the
State. We remember mighty well
when Mr.. J. A. Parham, then editor
of The Index, now and for some years
past one of the bright men of The
Star, fastened that entitlement on
Mr.. Johnson, and everybody saw right
off that it fitted Mr.. Johnson like the
paper on the wall. Of course it stuck
It couldn't help but stick. It was
one of those eternally fit things that
are meant to stick. But the Presby-
terrain Standard contributor no doubt
has seen Senator Cough referred tc
time and again in The Robesonian as
blockade preacher. Parham's ii.
tie for Editor Johnson was SO ap
propriate that it inevitably must be
appropriated for every layman who
breaches so often that folks begin tt
wonder finally if he is a regularly
ordained minister. And, by the way
again, we are confirmed now in the
suspicion we have had for some time
that the "Odds and Ends" man Of
The Star is Robson county pro
duct. He is helping to make The
Star shine brighter and brighter ev.
cry day; and it may not be out Of
the place to add right here that thai
paper has been making some notable
rovements recently.

A Lumberton man sped along in
his auto last Sunday afternoon and
even the breeze he was able to stir
by hitting the motionless air with his
car IN motion did not suffice to keep
him cool.{ 1t',was one Of the rare hot
times that a free man can endure
with patience because he knows that
to teeming fields of cotton and corn
the blessed hot sun is as the shadow
of a great rock in a weary land to
wayworn traveller. But as this man
sped along trying to keep cool he
passed some less fortunate beings.
who, though not free, are warmed BY
the same hot sun that caused him to
hit the open road, and SO pitiable
seemed their condition that the pleas
ure Of the afternoon was spoiled for
him. They were convicts in the
camp on the road toRowland, and they
were locked up N an iron cage, there
to stew end endure the sitting heat
as best they might. Nobody seemed
to care. But chance passer-by die
care, and he asked county officia
about it, and was given to understand
that those convicts were supposed t.
be allowed to remain outside thei
cages on Sundays. One would no
call it exactly humane to leave cat
tie penned up in cages on hot at
ternoon like last Sunday.
