900 of the State union funds in Lib
erty bonds, and says that 'to me it
appears almost reasonable to make
utterances now that might in any pos
sible way tend to interfere with plans
of carrying this war to a successful
termination as speedily as possible,
and for the life of me l cannot see
what any individual can hope to gain
by unnecessarily airing contrary views
while we are in the very midst of our
national crisis"
Nothing is to be gained, and much
is to be lost. 1t seems to The Robe
sorian that such action is not "al-
most" but altogether Unreasonable. y
You cannot imagine man who puts
winning the war above every other
consideration as standing sponsor for
a resolution condemning policy that
the Government has adopted as the
best means of winning the war.
Something extremely uncompromis-
ing, rough and unpleasant is due to
happen to these bolshevik members, as
The Observer terms them, of the
council.
In a statement issued Monday night
Henry Page calls attention to the $50.
cialistic crowd now directing the pub.
licity department of the union in the
publication and distribution of its Of
Bulletin and vigorously tells what
ficial organ, The Farmers Unior
manner Of men these are. He says
that eff the unions stand for the pol
icies and views being promulgated
by these men in the name of the
union" "its final burial in this State
is close at hand, or l am badly mis-
taken in the temper of my fellow citi
zens."

THEY'RE AFTER VAlSER.
The Red Springs Citizen ast weel


said:
"Great pressure is being brought to
bear on Hon. L. r. Varser to enter
the race for Congress from this dis
trict. and the Citizen learns this pres
sure is coming from every section Of
the district, and is so great that Mr..
Varser has the matter under serious
consideration, and should he decide to
run he would be very strong man
for Mr.. Goodwin to oppose. Mr.. Var
ser. if elected, would make repre-
sentative to be proud of because in
him the district would have man who
! is able to hold his own in all the de-
partments of government affairs. Mr..
Harser is man of splendid persoHali-
| ty, of extraordinary magnetism, a
sound and logical reasoner and gift
ei debater."
Mr. Varser. an able member of the
ber of letters recently from rromi-
nent men scattered over the district
urging him to enter the race for Con-
gress and assuring him of hearty sup
rort. He assures The Robesonian
that he appreciates these expressions
OF confidence, but he is not saying
anything for publication just yet. He
would make strong candidate if he
should decide to enter the race and
the noble Sixth would have a fight
that would be interesting. He has a
host of friends throughout the dis.
i t1ict who would be glad to support
him, and his decision in the matter
which no doubt may be expected i'll {
few days, will be awaited with in.

A SENSIBLE SUGGESTION.

The Charlotte Observer makes the
eminently sensible suggestion that the
State Democratic convention in Raj
eigh April 10 be converted into a
great ratification meeting for Wilson
and his conduct of the war. The
Robesonian failed to see The Observ-
er's first mention of this matter, but
in Fridays issue, referring to the
matter again, The Observer
says: "The idea has ap-
pealed to at least one far-sighted
Democrat-Mr, A. w. Mclean of
Lun1berton, National committeeman
from North Carolina, who-writes The
Observer: 4 think your suggestion
that we make the State convention
great ratification meeting for Viii
son in his successful prosecution of
the war is splendid one.'"
And so it is. The usual party pro-
gram and slogans seem now "dulI
flat, stale and unprofitable.' Men
want TO get down to honest-to-good-
ness facts and principles. All shams
and pretensions are going to the
scrapheap. No party that is not built
upon devotion to the common good
IS going to stand the fierce after-war
heat that is going to make a new
earth. When you come to think of it
there is nothing else to do when the
convention meets at Raleigh except
to rise to realization of the fact that
that is body of world citizens with
no time, now, to play politics. To
resolve 1T into great Wilson raitfi-
cation meeting is the most sensible
thing that can be done.

CLOVIS in a woman's eyes at the sight OF

THB GERMAN DRIVE.

David Lawrence, Washington cor
respondent, in an article published in
the Greensboro News of the 25th, says
that military officers of high rank in
the United States army do not think
that Germany's present effort will
prove of any substantial advantage
to her in the end. Even should Ger
many penetrate the British and
French lines 10 or Is miles, he says,
they would not have gained any more
in area than they actually held just
after the battle of the Marne, and
"from strictly military point of
view the whole. German offensive
therefore, is dismissed as not likely
to affect the outcome of the war o,
even to stimulate those who have
been urging a compromised peace"
1t is admitted, however, that there
are obvious advantages from politi-
cal point of view, which experts at
Washington think the one object that
must have actuated the German gov
ernment in sacrificing so many thou
sands of lives "Not only is it desired
to impress the German people," the
dispatch states, with the continued
successes of their armies, but the eff
feet or the CaI'San states and the Rus
slams was unquestionably in German
calculation something that made ever
the tremendous loss of life worth
while.''
The Germans have been uo to theil
old advertising tricks and have frol:
the first of the great drive tried tt
create the impression the world ovel
that they were victorious, regardles:
of whether the area gained was wortl
the cost in men. The Allies, on th'
other hand, have not been giving def
mite information. 1t is contendee
that they should play up the tremen
dous cost in lives to the Germans 0:
every foot of territory gained. Th'
battle of Jutland is cited as a goot
analogy. "The British really had ths
upper hand, but the Germans got thei1
version first and England has beer
explaining her victory ever since"
"When territory and lives are fan
ally balanced" states the dispatch
"army experts here are confident tina
instead of a German victory the pres
ent conflict may prove to be one Of
the most stupid moves from mill
tary point of view that the Germans
have attempted in this war"

ALEXANDER AND THE UNION.

OF course the Government at Wash
ington made a big mistake by refus-
ing to make move toward financing
the war before consulting DR.. H. Q.
Alexander, president of the North
Carolina division of the Farmers
Union, but it is too late to correct
the mistake now and DR.. Alexander
ought to fall in line and help finance
the war according to plans already
made. President Wilson and Secre-
tary McAdoo and the rest of them
ought to have known that DR.. Alexan-
der knows all about it, that he is bless
ed with supernal wisdom and that
when he gets to heaven-or the other
place-some radical changes will have
to be made or there1l be an awful
row. But in the docs wonderful en-
dOwment common or garden variety
of wisdom seems to have been left
out: he seems unable to grasp the
fact that the way to do a thing is
not to stand off and criticise the way
those are doing it who are fighting
all they know how to get the thing
done.
1t is well-known fact that any
street loafer can tell a farmer what
sort of crops to plant and all about
the best methods of farming, but it
does not help produce a bigger or
better crop to tell farmer after his
crops are growing and we'll under
way that he has not done it right at
all and that because he did not con-
suit the all-wise fixer-that's Alex
ander-in the first place the a. w. f.
hopes to Germany the. farmers crop
is an entire failure.
You've noticed that a comfortable
onlooker at fire can tell the fire
chief all about how to put the fire
out.
We fear that Doc Alexander is to-
tally damned already, but maybe he
might find small corner of safety
somewhere if he should bring forth
fruits meet for repentance.
No doubt the doc would have pick
ed out some other way of saving 9
lost and ruined world, but he is not
going TO help; save s;ily body by argu-
ing about how he thinks the Almighty
made mistake; and no more is he
helping. to win the war by telling why
he opposes bond issues.
