DIsLoYAL ONES DENOUNCED
Conference in Raleigh Calls Upon
Senate to Expel LaFollette-
Certain North Carolinians Vino
Have Made Disloyal Speeches
Also Are Denounced.

in completing its work IN Raleigh
Friday the conference of State and
county councils of defense passed res
o!utions attesting the thorough 10y
atty of the vast majority Of North
Carolinians, denouncing reasonable
utterances of few men in the State,
and calling for the expulsion from the
u. S. Senate of Robt. NJ. LaFollette
for utterances detrimental to the sue
cess of the war and encouraging trea-
son in effect. 1--WE believe his con-
duct merits expulsion from the Sen
ate," the resolution read, "and we
recommend that this course be adopt
ed"
Concerning utterances bordering on
treason the resolutions say:
I'VE call attention to the fact that
there are few men, who, occupying
positions of influence in North Car
DINA, have given utterance TO sentl-
ments which bordered on treason
they have dissuaded persons subject
to draft duty from attending or regis
teIing, they have discouraged the
production and conservation OF food
supplies, circulated false reports
slanderous to the government and cal
culated to incite to treason.
I'VE recommend that each county
be examined closely and all such men
located, their conduct carefully scru-
tinized and if they occupy any Of
fetal position, they be asked to re-
sign Immediately. All such men are
notified that the eyes of the people
of the State and nation are upon them
and that they will be punished unless
they desist from unpatriotic prac-
tices- We believe that ordinary crime
sinks into insignificance at this time
compared with the crimes of sedition
and treason"
The conference pledged fullest sup
port and cooperation in prosecuting
the war and conserving resources, de-
claring readiness to perform any ser
vice the government may request.
The conference terminated in a
compact organization for effective

Up in Canada there is a successful
business concern that expects, as most
successful concerns do, that every en-
ploye shall do his full duty. To assist
him in the task that concern places
conspicuously before him these Ten
Demandments:"
/. Don't lie. It wastes my time and
yours. 1 am sure to catch you in the
end and that is the wrong end.
2. Watch your work, not the clock,
A long days work makes long day
short: and a short days work makes
my face long.
8. Give me more than expect and
/ will give YOU more than you ex-
pect. can afford to increase your
pay il you increase my profits.
4. You owe so much to yourself you
cannot afford to owe anybody else.
Keep out of debt or keep out OF my
shop
5. Dishonesty is never an accident.
Good men, like good women. never see
temptation when they meet It.
6. Mind your own business. and in
time you'll have a business Of your own
to mind.
Z. Don't do anything here that hurts
your seif-respect. An employee who is
willing to steal for me is willing to
steal from me.
3. 1t is none Of my business what
you do at night. But II dissipation at
fects what you do the next day, and
you do half as much as demand,
youth last half as long as you hoped.
Q. Don't tell me what I'd Hike to
hear, but what l ought to hear. I
don't want a valet to my vanity. but
one for my dollars.
10. Don't kick II I kick. II you're
worth while correcting you're worth
while keeping. I don't waste time
cutting specks out Of rotten apples.
