England Forced Weapon

England forced this weapon in our

England prevented neutral trade with

the final attempt we made by an hon

sELECTfvE DRAFT

In the face Of reason and common
sense some Congressman are oppos
ing the selective draft plan Of rails
ing an army, insisting upon trying
the volunteer plan: which has con-
sistently proved a failure every time
it has been tried. It would seem to be
patent to any unbiased view that the
selective draft plan would be best ev-
en- if every man in the country would
volunteer-and there is no noticeable
inclination among men to fall over
each other in their eagerness to rush
to the colors. BY the volunteer plan
a man who might serve his country
best at home may go to the front
and man who is not worth shucks
to himself OR anybody else at home
would stay at home when he might
be whipped into good soldier and
be of some service if placed in the
army. The selective draft plan does
not raise the question of whether or
not men are patriotic enough to Of
fer their services to their country, but
whether they shall serve intelligently
Or not. Many folks mistake imbe-
cility for christianity and are horrl-
fled when any one suggests injecting
little common sense into religion.
And even SO many people make the
mistake of supposing that patriotism
may be manifested alone in rushing
blirdly to the colors without consid-
ering whether or not those in COM
mand might find better use for you
in some other branch or service. Vol
unteering is fine and noble, but the
point is that it is just as fine and
noble land deal sight more sensible,
to stand ready to be drafted into
whatever branch OF the service the
powers that be may determine you
are best suited for. It does not hurt
to mix sense with patriotic fervor.

Open-Air Concert at East Lumber

ton ...
Around 1900 people gathered in the
grove at the East Lumbefton school
building yesterday afternoon at A: 80
for the patriotic concert given by the
East Lumberton band. A number Of
patriotic selections was rendered in
pleasing manner. United States
flags were displayed on the trees and
from the porches of the homes near
by. State Senator Frank Cough made
a short address before the concert.
Mr.. Cough announced that the occas-
ion yesterday was only the first of a
series of open-air concerts that will
be given by the band during the
summer. Some of the concerts will
be given up town.
The East Lumberton band now has
20 members and under the direction
of Prof. Arthur Whitley is fast be-
coming one of the best bands in this
section of the State. The occasion
yesterday afternoon was very much
enjoyed.

In some sections of the country there
has been an astonishing increase in
marriages since state Of war was
declared to exist between the United
States and Germany, so much so that
the reluctant conclusion has been
forced that many men are rushing
into matrimony in the hope of escap-
ing military service. The War De-
partment put crimp into that bust
ness the other day and Blasted the
hopes of escaping service by reason
of having married since the begin
ming of the war. The War Depart
ment formally has announced that
"all men married since the outbreak
of war will be treated. upon the same
basis as unmarried men in SO far as
their military obligations are con-
cerned". This is a sad awakening
for any skate who took unto himself
a wife in the fond hope of hiding
behind her skirts.

Chester county, S. c., is preparing
to vote on a bond issue of $50O,0O0
Southern Good Roads says that a
grou6 of leading citizens, four of
whom we're against the road program
recently visited Greonvville county,
where 100000 have just been spent
in building the different types, and
all came away in favor of roads" If
opponents of the bond issue in Rob-
eson could be induced to visit some
county that has constructed good
roads with bond issue they would
come back home and work for bonds
and good roads.

The people of Tulare county, Cal
We learn from Southern Good Roads
last month voted S2,2O0,OOO to pay
for the construction # 223 miles Of
concrete highways. That is at the
rate of nearly $4,000 mile. Just
off-hand now learning that single fact
about the people of Tulare county
Cal, and being innocent, let US sup
pose, of any other knowledge of those
people, do you judge them to be ig-
norant, benighted, unprogressive
people, or do you conclude right off
that they must be intelligent, thrifty
progressive, wide-awake people? II
it would cost the people of Robson
county $4,000 a mile to build roads
there would be reason in staggering
at the size of the bond issue thai
would be required. But the. people
of Robson can have good roads al
less than one-twentieth of that cos
per mile; they can build more thar
q thousand miles of good roads with
the $480,000 which they will have op
portunity to vote on the 9Th of May
Quite some difference.

In considering methods for raising

it is proposed to levy 40 per cent
tax on all incomes over $1,000 900.
We are in favor of that. If a mans
income is $1,000,000 that would leave
him 100000, and anybody ought to
