THE sLAoKER

Throughout North Carolina and the nation sentiment
toward the Stacker is crystazng and the fine finger Of
scorn and contempt is searching him out.
There several varieties of slackers Here are some
Of them -
The service slacker-the man who should be in the
ranks and is not.
doesn't.
The food sacker-the male or female hog who refuses
to readust their diet to meet the demands of
Allies for those foodstufs which may be exported
The financial slacker-the individual who can but does
not buy Liberty bonds and War Savings Stamps.
Stacking at home more blood spilled by true blue
American boys in France.
Stacking in America means starvation for innocent
women and children in England, France and Italy,
Stacking at home is menace to the success of the
American, British and French arms in France
THE SLACKERs REWARD
The intelligent, observant patriotic people of America
will not forgive Stacking.
The Stacker is marked man. Not only during the
war; but as the goes and the casualty lists come
in he will be and scorned and hated by decent
citizens
After the is he will be an object Of contempt
He will be without the regard of decent people in his
community. His children and his children's children
after him will pay bitter price for his disoyaty-For
his failure under test to do his duty by his country and by
humanity.

HISTORIC PRECEDENT

The following paragraph is clipped from the Win
slow Mail, leading republican newspaper in northern
Arizona:
Let suggest to the democratic newspapers of the
state that the less they say about the supreme court
decision in the Campbell the better it will be-
for the democratic party and the nonpartisan demo-
cratic supreme court It foregone conclusion inn
medatey the appealed to the higher court that
tie decision would be in favor of the appellant And
two months before the decision pronounced it
open secret what the decision would be. The Wnsow
Mail accepts the decision the law but that is not adj
mittng by any that the decision free from
political bias and the democratic papers Of the state
showing poor taste in continually harpng the victory
in the courts" -
With the historic precedent set by the Republican
Party in the great case of Tlden VS. Hayes where the
Presidency of the United States contested and where
i'll the legally elected candidate shut out from his
high office by political chcanery and trckery the
ranker Sort with creation of alleged nopartisan
mission to decide which rendered republican by
majority through manipulation of election for United
ates senator in Illinois, it behooves republican news
papers to say nothing about partsanshp in decision Of
contested elections anywhere =.
In that case the republican managers deliberately
raised in several states false issues by which electoral
votes were thrown out from the count The House in
sisted that those votes should not be counted the Senate
insisted they should be. There was deadlock To dis
solve it special law enacted creating an electoral
commission to decide. That commission consisted of
five representatives five senators and five judges of the
Supreme Court Of the five judges to be selected by
seniority three were democrats and two republicans

THE UNION
MEETINGS
AT the Army Y. nj. C. A. Con.

terest and FervOr

The Union Revival Services
at the Y. M. c. A. building al
Camp Stephen D. Little, the
structure on North Grand Ave
nue., near the entrance to the
cantonment of the 35th In
fantry, continues with unabated
interest and growing fervor,
and the service yesterday eve
ming was one of more than
ordinary advantage. There was
a large union choir of forty
voices and the local clergy were
all present, giving countenance
and assistance. Reverend Doc
tor Slough conducted the serv-
ice and Chaplain Eusey led the
choir.
There were three special
musical numbers:
1. Piano Duet, Mrs. Marshal
and Miss Mcpherson.
2. Euphonium and Piano,
Musician Murphy Of the 35tl.
Infantry Band, and Private
Worton of C Company.
8. Vocal Solo, Mrs. Beddow.
For this evening there is in
course of preparation a most ex-
cellent program. Doctor Slough
will conduct as usual, and beside
a special number by the choir
there will be a vocal duet by
Mrs. J. A. Campbell and Bugler
Price of c. Company. It is
hoped also that Miss Veta
Rogers, who has been quite i'll,
will have recovered sufficiently
to be present and entertain the
congregation with a vocal solo.
In response to telegraphic re-
quests by Secretary Williams
the central authority of the Y.
M. C. A. has granted leave to
Doctor Slough to continue
through the week at Nogales,
provided it will not interfere too
much with his schedule to meet
at other points. The Doctor is
endeavoring to have Mr.. Will
liams accompany him to Ajo
and Yuma, which will be done
if the work here can be arranged
to admit.

GIRL ENDS LIFE
Child Fires Revolver as Father Reads
Principals Request for Explanation
of Her Absence.

New York. May 27.-Jane Paris, q
fifteen-ycar-old pupil at the Manual
Training High School, Brooklyn, COM
mitted suicide Saturday night. She
ran to her bedroom and shot herself
in the right temple with a revolver
while her father was reading a postal
card from the principal of the school.
1t required an explanation of her alb
scnce from school for two days.
Wednesday the girl learned she had
failed in one branch Of examinations.
Shame kept her away from school on
Thursday and Friday. She spent those
days wandering disconsolately in Pros
pect Park.
The card of inquiry from the school
arrived at the house Saturday morn
ing. Jane intercepted it. After
CARRYING it about all day, she put it
beside her fathers plate at the sup
per table. When he picked it up,
she fed to her room and shut the
door.
The father, Salvatore Paris, had
hardly finished reading it when he
heard the revolver shot. An ambu:-
lance surgeon said she probably had
died instantly. Paris told Captain
John Coghlin she lived long enough to
say:
"Please don't scold me, papa
He professed ignorance as to where
she had obtained the revolver.
