Big Patriotic and Red Cross:
Meeting Saturday Night. !

High Point pulled off big patri1
otic meeting Saturday night at which
Hon. Jas. H. Pou of Raleigh was the
orator of the occasion which was
more particularly a Red Cross meet
;n6, After the speech Of Mr.. Morri-
son, organization was affected Sssa,
Preceding the exercises, Which
we're held at the auditorium, avery
interesting parade was pulled off
consisting principally of Red Cross
nurses in ful4~uniform, Boy Scouts,
school children, the miitarg com
pany and number of 7eitfzens,
headed by the Springfield band dis
Dersing patriotic music. Many flags
we're carried in the parade. =: ssS.:SS -
Arriving at the auditorium the

tire audience. -: s.
Mr.. Pou's speech was a fine effort
as to oratory and the war question.
He has storehouse of knowledge
and gave his hearers the benefit of
it. Every important war was re
cited and the dates given without
hesitation, where they were fought
and what for were equally as rapid
ly forthcoming. He paid his respects
to the kaiser in no uncertain terms
and said that the United States en-
tering the war would eventually
prove a blessing to the German peo-
ole who at different periods in their
history had been so near freedom
and yet denied it by the iron hand
He spoke of war-ridden France and
her heroic people, how nearly every
important battle for civilization and
Christianization had been fought on
sFrench SOIL France today is send
inc Sthousands@of soldiers to death
that We may live, for only by their
hsroic defense has America been
made safe. Surely we owe it TO
France to help. her also, for did she
not makesa big saeTifce for America
in the revolutionary war. He
warned his hearers of the~seEie1as:
ness of the situation and urged
them to awaken to their full duty IN
this, Americas greatest crisis. 1T
is now too late for ifs and 'ands; >
we are, at war and our country needs
the undivided support of all. After
the war it is time enough to place
the responsibility" etc.
Mr.. Pou held his audience for so
minutes with his matchless recital
of the world war and its awful con
sequences.
He was followed by several citi.
zens who talked On the Red Cross
which is one of the greatest assets
of the government in war. Already
there are several hundred members
of the local organization and 1t IL
expected to make the number LOO
within short time.

THE CHAUTAUQUA TICKETS.

Have you bought that season
ticket for the Chautauqua yet? Re-
member they are only $500, repre-
senting about 20c for each perform
ance, while the single attractions
will cost you from Csc to soc: Only
a certain number of season tickets
are to be sold at the $500 price, so
you better get yours at once. The
Chautauqua begins Friday evening
and continues for one week.

The Commercial National Bank of
this city made record in handling
the Liberty bonds, subscribing for
S2l5,OOO. double the amount the
bank was expected to take under
the terms of the government allot-
ment. President Cox was very en-
thusiastic over the bonds and gave
much of his time to the success of
the issue.

Mr.. ANTwINE ON LEAKS

"Why should we go on breaking our
backs trying to find out how Wall
Street got its tip on the Presidents;
note?" Mr.. Antwine asked.
'If we are to have the women in pol
itics, state secrets are so many dead
ducks anyway, and don't know of
any reason why we shouldn't abandon
them right now. There is already one
woman in Congress, the appearance of
woman everywhere in the Government
service is only a matter of few
years, and it seems absurd to make
such an effort as we are making to
preserve something we know we can't
have after the women get in anyway.
Possibly, if our wives were pres
emit, they would not enjoy this-but /
want to tell you something about
state secrets; Some of the best poll
teal minds of the world today are
against them. 1t has been repeatedly
pointed out that if everything which
passed between the European Powers
before the war broke out had been
open and above board in the full
knowledge of the people of those coun-
tries, there would not have been any
war.
at is the state secret which enables
international disputes to get out of
the peoples hands before there is any
chance to adjust them. Diplomats go
as far as they like. If their indiscre-
tons result in war, the people go out
and do the fighting.
"Maybe the appearance in politics
Of woman, who can't keep secret, is
to be the end of this tyranny. 1t will
just stop automatically, as like as
not."-"Just Minute" in the Post
Il Dispatch.

WHY FLOUR is HIGH

Crop statisticians of the Depart
ment of Agriculture at Washington
say that the crop of wheat this year
is bushel compared to 10 bushels
last year The crop of 1914 was more
than billion bushels, followed in
1915 with another billion bushels;
1916, the crop as near as can be es-
timated was 607,000,000 bushels, or
400,000,000 less than the previous
year. For the year ending June,
1916, there was exported l73,000,0OO
bushels, flour not included, but at this
writing no figures are at hand to show
quantity shipped out of the country.
The United States, for seed and con-
sumption, needs over 600,000,0 900 BUSH
els annually. Acreage devoted to
wheat-growing varies between 49,
100000 and $4,000, 900. To barrel Of
-four weighing 1856 pounds there is
A IL bushels of wheat, or go pounds
from this there is also by-pro-
duct of IA pounds mostly bran.
The principal wheat producing coin-
tries shown by the figures for the
year 1915 are: The United States with
a crop of 1,011, 100000 bushels; the
Russian Empire, except Poland, with
crop of 761, $4,000 bushels; British
India, whose crop was r376,731 900
bushels; Canada, with 376,304, 900
bushels; France, with 258, 100000
bushels; Italy, with 170,500, 900 bushs
els, and Spain, with $4,000, 900 bush-i
els. Argentine produced last year
168. 000. 600 bushels. with extensive
wheat lands still uncultivated.

THE WORKMEN'S
COMPENSATION BILL

In letter published recently law
yer who opposes the Workmen's Com
pensation law charges that under it
the insurance companies would reap
enormous profits, and implies that the
actual amounts paid the injured work
man or his representatives in case OF
death would be greatly reduced be-
cause of the insurance cost.
The Post-Dispatch has already call
ed attention to the fact that the Work
mems Compensation Commission,
having in mind the necessity of insur-
ance, has drawn up a Mutual lnsur-
ance Bill, to be submitted along with
the compensation law. Under this
proposed mutual insurance law any
five or more individuals, partners or
corporations employing in the aggre-
gate of 500 or more workers can or
ganize as a mutual insurance COM
pany for the purpose of insuring the
members of such company on the mu-
tual plan against liability for injury
or property of their employees, or for
death caused thereby.
With this law enacted there will be
no need for employers to go outside
their own ranks for insurance. Mu-
tual insurance can be had at actual
cost.
But even with the ordinary brand Of
insurance, it is not true that the
amounts paid the injured worker OF
his representatives in case of death
would be diminished in order to meet
cost of insurance. The payments tt
the worker or his representatives are
fixed by the law and payable without
reduction.
The bill now before the Legislature
has been drawn up, by mutual con
sent, after numerous conferences be-
tween representatives of employers
employees, the bar, the insurance in
terests, the medical profession, anC
the general public, lasting since May
1916. 1t is based on model laws thai
have been found satisfactory in Other
States. 1t ought to pass.-St. Louis

THEY ARE FIGHTING FOR

The reply of the Entente Allies to
President Wilson's note asking for a
definite statement of the concrete OBJ
iects of the war and the conditions
on which peace might be restored,
is a clear and open avowal of their
purposes, though drastic and hercu-
lean in scope. They of course place
the responsibility of the war on Ger
many and Austria Hungary to insure
their predominating influence over
Europe and economic domination of
the world. The Central Powers,
Germany and her allies, being re-
sponsible for the war, having out
ragged treaty rites, the principles of
humanity and all respect due small

had not been filed in good faith, was
not supported by majority of the
State Republican Committee, and that
it would interfere materially with i'm
portant legislation.
Thus ends the Lamm gubernatoriai
eontest-all except the howl of as
sumed virtuous Indignation that will
go up from Republican partisan or
gans, although not one of them really
believes that Governor Gardner was
not justly elected. There may have
been, and no doubt were, specific in
stances of fraud or irregularity in
the election-not pronounced enough,
however, to make any difference in
the result-but the sweeping charge
of wholesale fraud set forth in Lamm's
petition was too all-embracing to con-
vince any one of the petitioners sim
cerity or belief in the truth thereof
Indeed, such universal condition of
fraud could not have existed without
general understanding and conspir-
acy between the Democratic and Re-
publican judges and clerks of election
of every ward precinct in the city of
st. Louis. That is too preposterous on
its face to be entertained for mo-
ment, and brands the whole move
ment with insincerity and an attempt
to stir up partisan strife and rancor.

STEAMBOAT TRAVEL SAFEST.

Looking for safe place to spend
next summer? Try a steamboat.
Safest place there is. Last year about
200 steamboats, wheezed and snorted
back and forth between Cairo, H.,
and somewhere up this side of the
North Pole and carried 1881, 1856 pas
sengers That is getting pretty close
to 100000. A pretty big crowd.
And how many do you suppose lost
their lives? Not one.
There was one man drowned, but
it was not the fault of any steamboat
He jumped overheard. The steamboat
people did their best to save him, but
he went down before help could reach
him.
From first to last 6S0,831 st. Louis
ians went down to the landing and sail
ed away up river and down river on
the Mississippi boats. And they all
came back. And not one was even
hurt.
The steamboats, that pl-' these upper
rivers are not always things of beauty.
They certainly are not fast. Sometimes
we call them tubs and say playful
sarcastic things about them. But they
take us there and bring us back. The
annual report of the Supervising In
spector- General, Steamboat Inspection
Service, Washington, D. c., shows that.
And it's safe. That's the main
thing, If she sinks you sit on the

Judge Lands of the United States
District Court dismissed, for want of
equity, on the 18th inst, petition of
% railroad companies asking that Ill
inois be enjoined from enforcing the
2-cent mile passenger rate. 1t seems
that the Interstate Commerce Com
mission had ordered "a cents mile
fare to relieve discrimination in rail-
road passenger rates. The decision
upholds the authority of State to
fix railroad rates within its own bor-
ders, and declares that the Interstate
Commerce Commission has no earthly
power to repeal State law under
the guise of relieving certain points
from discrimination. Judge Lands
says the railroads could have relieved
the discrimination by reducing the
interstate rate.
