FEWER CANDIDATES, TOO"

Under the above caption the States
vile Landmark has the following:
1.-The Governors suggestion that we
have less politics in the State this
year-less exciting and unnecessary
contests between the opposing parties
should also embrace the candidates
for party nominations. This yea the
candidates for nominations ought 20
curb their ambitions. These intra-
party contests not infrequently create
more excitement, arouse more bitter
ness and distract the people more than
the regular campaigns. This sacrifice
If it is made and it should be-will
fall more heavily on the Democrats
than on the Republicans. AS there is
more Democratic territory in this
State than Republican territory there
are more Democratic candidates. AL
ready in some of the congressional dis
tricts candidates are trying to start
something, to stir up disturbance
between Democrats. In one judicial
district it is noted that there are al
ready three candidates for solicitor.
"Let the slogan be fewer candidates
this year. There will be good rea-
sons for changes in some cases, but
unless there is good reason discour-
age new candidates. In any event
keep the crop thinned out and throw
cold water on the fellows who try to
create strife.
Eve k:ave got to have an election
this year, we've got to select candi-
dates. 1t is all right and proper for
good and fit men to aspire to office
and it is natural for the different po-
litical parties to want to put their
men in. But we can, if we will, get
the campaign over with a minimum
of excitement; without taking mucl
of our time from the more serious anc
more important business of winning
the war-and that is the position eve
ry patriot should take with reference
to the campaign"
The Robesonian had had it in mine
Tor some days to submit some remarks
along this line when it ran across th'
above in Fridays Landmark. Th
remarks are peculiarly approl riate 70
Robson county, which is safely Dem
ocratic and where contests among Den

times are bitter. There is no tim
to waste ON splitting ones shirt fo

Hens Cutting Capers.

Hens have been cutting all sorts of
capers along the laying line during
the last year or so. Friday morning
Master Frank Cough, Jr., sent to The
Robesonian office an egg with ham
die. The egg is much of a curiosity
and looks as much like a policeman's
billy as it does like anything else.
Bet you never heard of a hens lay
ing two perfectly good sound eggs
in one day before. w. B. Oxendine
Indian, who lives on R. 1 from Fair
mont, informs The Robesonian that
ne has hen that did that sort of a
trick one day recently. Nothing un-
usual about the appearance of the
hen-she just decided to do her "bit''
and then some more toward helping to
feed the soldiers at the front.

BRITISH BEGIN
 SALVAGE SCHEME

London, Jan S-A huge scheme of salvage which is expected to save Great Britain $50O,O00,OO0 q year, is about to be put into operation under a board of F army experts, for the purpose of collecting and bringing back from France the whole of the war material that has been lying there unused or half used, and re- making it for the army. Ia this fashion enormous quantities of cop per, steel, and various commodities, which otherwise would need to be brought from the United States, will be made available, eQecting 8 large saving in tonnage.
 There are dumps III France so ex- tensive that it will take a thousand men weeks to remove them. The task will be undertaken systematically and spread over a period long enough to avoid any strain on labor at the front

TIN PAN ALLEY FACES SHORTAGE
 OF AGATE WARE
Thirty Per Cent of Tin Ware Production for Ar
 my and Navy Use.

Some idea of the enormous de- mands which the war is making on the country's |peace'' industries may be gained from the fact that of the total output of the American enamel ed. galvanized and tin ware utensils, more than one-fourth is now being diverted to military hospital and camp uses A particularly heavy de- mand for enameled ware in the hos pitals is noted.
 This observation is made from a canvass of some of the larger manu- facturers of kitchen and other house. hold wares, who employ thousands of men and women workers and whose output totals more than $30,000, 900 a year.
 Securing the raw materials neces- sary to keep the enameled ware in- dustry at highest efficiency is the principal concern of the makers. They point out the obvious fact that it is more economical, for instance, to keep 8 plant at work with 1000 em- ployes than 100, and that scarcity of materials is practically the only bar Tier. ito maximum operation in the fu- ture.
 Government acquisitions for enam- eled, galvanized and tin ware utensils in almost every branch of army life are being received in increasing mum bers. The variety of demands which the early days of the war have made upon this single industry gives some idea of the complexity of war prepar. edness work. A principal service ot the wares seems to be the mainten. ance of sanitation in the food supply and general living conditions. Dus pans, navy buckets, used for indiyidu. al laundry and bathing tubs on lanC and sea; fry pans, ash cans, meas ures and dish pans are only a few O the items needed in large quantities It is said to be frequent occurrenct for these makers to estimate on sucl acquisitions as 100000 pie plates, 20, 00O dish pans, or 30,O0O measures. | Manufacturers predict that tn present rate of twenty-five to thirt, per cent. of their business for distinc
 war uses will continue for man
 months to come.

EARL READING
 IS APPOINTED TO
 AMBASSADORSHIP

Washington, Jan. S.-Combination of the three separate functions that have been exercised by as many diff ferent agencies, diplomatic, financial and war supply, is the purpose of the appointment of Earl Reading as Br1- tish ambassador in Washington to suc- ceed Sir Cecil Spring Rice, as the sit- uation is understood by government officials here.
 Some confusion has followed the in dependent operations of the North cliffe war mission, the technical mili- tary and naval attaches bureau and the diplomatic bureaus of the embas- sy proper. It has been found diff cult for these separate commissions and agencies to transact their busi- ness with the state department, the war and navy departments and the treasury department here without over tapping and confusion.

 OLD FOLKS
 TAKE HEART

They renew their youth with fresh courage and/quickened spirit It.sure is a pleasure to see the way they have come back and in such a short time, too.
 They are all loud in praise of Phos- phated Iron, the new wonder nerve and blood tonic. As one "old-timer" said, ''I could fairly feel it putting the Pep and kick in my run-doEn, old body. I was worn out, all in and thought l was on my last legs, but a tonic and bracer to put me on my feet and get me going again.
 Believe me, Phosphated Iron is the goods and say, it made. a new woman of my wife, too. We will never be without it in our house."
 Honest physicians will tell you that Phosphates and Iron are the best tonics and health builders for the aged, nervous, weak and run down. It increases the quantity and quality of blood.
 It makes thin, poor blood rich, red and new.
 Rich, red blood pumped through the veins drives out poison and car ries health, strength and vigor to every part of the body. If you are run down. all in, lost your nerve, take a brace, get next to yourself and try Phosphated Iron. It really does what it claims. It will not disappoint you, you can't go wrong on this tip. Ask the man or woman who has tried it. Good doctors and druggists prescribe it.
 To insure physicians and their pa tients getting the genuine Phosphated Iron it is put up in capsules only. Do not allow dealers to give you pills or tablets. Insist on capsules. Hindle Drug Stores and leading druggists everywhere.-Adv.

etc, can be thwarted only by the peo-

The Elk Mountain pilot., 1918-03-07

And if these feelings are increased
eers escape with their wicked gains
from any punishment, then entAsi-
asm for the war will die, and the
people will refuse to make the sac
rifices which alone can win the war
and without which defeat and disas-
ter would be inevitable.
Every man who had voice in urg-
ing war, and who now uses the op-
portunity of the war to add to his
riches, proves conclusively that his
patriotism was bogus; that his black
heart was all the time giving the lie
to his loud voice.
And every man who takes advant-
age of the peoples huge contribu-
tions of money, and of their nations
urgent necessities to make millions
of dishonest dollars while our sons
are giving their lives in the shot
swept trenches, is a damnable trail
tor, disgrace to the name American,
and well deserves a traitors fate.
We cannot understand the hearts
and the conduct of men who can plot
to make profit out of their peoples
peril and sacrifices.
Indeed, such men and their evil
hearts and base minds seem incred-
ible to decent folk. Yet they do ex-
list, and do plot their infamies.
Here are dozen of the richest
men in the country-all with so
much money that they do not know
what to do with it-and yet sacrific-
ing their honor and their loyalty in
order to rob the Government of some
more millions during war times.
Here they are securing contracts
thru the influence of their wealth,
and the actual position of some of
them as representatives of the Gov
ernment; and then making vastly ex-
cessive profits out of the Govern
ment, and in addition, defaulting on
their contracts to the extent of being
four months behind in their work,
at time when the Government
needs shipping most for the main
tenance of our soldiers abroad.
All the great scandals in the his
tory of our country have been fur
nished by this money-mad class;
wholly unscrupulous, wholly unpat-
riotic
1t really seems as if the making of
money becomes mania, n demcntia;
and that the people afflicted with it
are willing to sacrifice everything
that the ordinarv man holds dear in
order to get few more dollars to
add to an already overlooking pile.
Every war in which America has
engaged has been -disgraced by these
plundering financiers.
There is only one way to deal with
this situation, and that is to try all
such cases under court-martial, and
to infict the military penalty for
whatever the crime may be.
The severity of this method, and
the promptness of it would probably
deter unscrupulous financiers from
sacrificing their country, and the
public good to their private greed.
