IN T OMEN are coming from u
w dozen states in the Union to
take part, for the first time in
the history OF politics. in an Eastern
election campaign. This unique situa-
tion was brought about when suffrage
was defeated in the United States Sen
ate. and Immediately after certain in
trcpid members of the "wilfu thirty
four entered ON a campaign for reeec-
ton.
Suffrage lost in the Senate by but two
votes, Since then Senator Pollock, of
ducing the need to one vote. Women
viii concentrate in two states to try to
capture it and pass the Federal suffrage
amendment during the life of the pres
ent Congress. The two Senators who
are running for election to the short
term in the United States Senate, No.
Vembcr >, and are slated for defeat by
women, are Senator David Baird, of
New Jersey. and George Moses, of New
Hampshire. 1t IS against Senator Baird,
Republican, who refused to stand by the
wartime policies of the President and
vote for the enfranchisement of Ameri-
can women, that hundreds of New York
and New Jersey women are bending
their energies, assisted by the cohorts
from other states.
New York women, able to register
their wrath at the polls, are or
ganillng in New Jersey to request men

the Presidcnt They point to the Presi-
dents last words on national suffrage
delivered in the Senate: Il have daily
to apologize for not being able to en-
ploy' suffrage as spiritual instru-
ment" to win the war. Baird has de
fnitely refused the President this in
strumcnt.
All sufragsts. whatever their pre-
vious affiliations, are united on the
Beat Baird campaign which is now
being staged in New Jersey They have
buried the hatchct. Women of all
parties, clubwomcn, war workers, are
being asked to do their bit toward pass
ing the Federal suffrage amendment be-
fore the close of the present Congress
next March.

What the Law Allows

graph companies, however, cannot work
before a. m. nor after 8 p. m.
Under the labor law school attendance
IS compulsory between the ages of seven
and fourteen
At sixteen papers are not required
An exception to the labor law is made
IN the case of newsboys over twelve
years Of age who, on securing a badge
from the district superintendent, may
sell papers before and after school hours,
not earlier than a. m. nor later than

The Mayor has power to issue permits

days after his entrance, the child is ex-
amined by Department of Health
physician.
Children must be vaccinated before
entering school, unless a physician in
good standing certifes that the child is
fully protected by prior vaccination.
The hours of girls of 16 and over are
regulated IN factories, mercantile estab-
hshments, restaurants and in messenger
service
BY recent law, passed in May, 1918
girls under p are forbidden to work as
messengers for telegraph companies
This regulation has not yet been extend
ed to glr4s employed as strcetcar con-
ductors ard elevator runners, although
bills providing the same protection as

last Legislature
What is needed is:
A larger staff of school doctors and
nurses to supervise the health Of school

More clinics are needed to supplement
the work of school inspectors.
Existing clinics have been depleted be-
cause their doctors and nurses have LETT

THE final test of any civilization
i is the position of woman in it.

TIME final test of any civilization
i is the position of woman in it.
The integrity of the home, the
reverence of man toward woman,
the respect in which mother and
wife are held, are an exact index of
the quality of particular civiliza-
ton. Fundamentally the German
menace is a menace to womanhood.
Atrocious as have been the crimes
committed by the Hun in the de-
struction of property, sacred and
profane, buildings can again be
erected, trees can grow once more,
devastated fields can once more be
made to bloom, men may even be
murdered and time fill their places:
but the desecration of the human
temple, the bludgeoning of woman
INTO bestiallty or mere animalism,
constitutes a crime which no ven
geance can wipe out and for which
no rcparation that is adequate can
ever be made.

DEALERS IN SUGAR
file STATEMENTS
New Ruling oi:Food Admiuistra-
lion Calls for Statement Of
Sugar Requirements to be FL
ed by Dealers, Hotels, and
Jobbers.
DRASTIC PENALTY ENFORCED

The following letter to "all
North Carolina Editors" has
been received from the Execu-
i've Secretary of the Food Ad-
mlnlstratlon relative to the new
sugar rulings;
Gentlemen
All dealers of whatsoever
class, and all consumers handling
or using snRay will hereafter be
able to purchase sugar only upon
certificates furnished by this Of
flee after they have made a
statement of their requirements.
Those who do not file such state
ment by July l5 will not be is-
sued any certificates and will be
out OF business for the remainder
OF the year in so far as sugar is
concerned. We are very anxious
that none of our dealers, hotels,
restaurants, etc. he caught in
this predlcament and we shall
appreciate it if You will, through
your editorial columns or other
wise, call the attention of
wholesalers, retailers and public
eating houses to this require
ment.
The Food Administration will
put eight inspectors, or field
agents, in the field July |. The
effectiveness of the work of these
men and Of the Food Administra-
ton generally depends upon the
cooperation Of the people pro-
ducerS, dealers and consumers.
We feel that it is the duty of
every patriotic American citizen
not only To do his duty, but in
order to make the work of the
Food Administration most eirec-
tive in its part toward winning
the great war, to report to
County Food Administrators or
to this office violations of Food
Administration rules, regulations
and orders by any person what
soever. We have no respect for 4
"tattle tale, but in this instance
an informant, instead of being a
meddler, would be rendering a
valuable patriotic service, and
the effectiveness of the work of
our organization can he greatly
increased by the giving of this
information.
The liyeral co operation of the
press in North Carolina has
gone a long ways toward placing
North Carolina in the very fore
front of the States in the degree
of results accomplished by the
Food Administration. We desire
to thank you for your co-opera-
llon and to give You this assnr-
ance that your cooperation has
been of inestimable value.
Very truly yours,
John Paul Lucas, EX-
Secretary and Education
al Director
