SUPPORT THE PRESIDENT.

In statement addressed to his fel-
low-countrymen Friday, President
Wilson asks them to return Demo-
cratic Congress in these critical times
Failure to return a Democratic ma
jOrity to both the Senate and House
of Representatives the President said,
not only would seriously impair his
power to administer "the great trust
assigned me by the constitution" but
would be interpreted abroad as re-
pudiation of his leadership. He did
not suggest at all that "any political
party is paramount in matters of
patriotism, but that the times call
for unified leadership" and that a
Republican Congress would divide
the leadership. He points out that
while Republican leaders in the pres
ent Congress have been pro-war, they
have been administration Re-
publican leaders at the Capital i'm
mediately prepared a statement in
which they declared the minority
party in Congress had supported the
administration policy since the war
with a unanimity and an absence of
criticism unprecedented in party
history. President Wilson may be
safely trusted to know what sort OF
support hampers him apd what sort
helps him in conducting the war

and simple issue.
This is a measure Of vital impor-
tance and The Robesonian hopes and
believes il will receive hearty support
atShe polls by the voters Of Robson
county. Our children deserve and are
entitled to as long school term and as
good schools as the children of any
other States, and the people Of North
Carolina are able to provide these if
they will. If you think that your
capable Of advancement as other chill
dren, vote for this amendment.
We are living IN q new world. Old
things have passed away and what
the untried fortunes Of the new order
may bring 40 man may say; but thls
we know: The child that is given the
advantage Of an education is going
to be able to hold its own and win IT,,
way, no matter what the changes.
This amendment Will provide the
money for a substantial increase in
the salaries of teachers. Heaven

In 1916 North Carolina had a short
er school term than any other State
in the Union except South Carolina
Mississippi and Tennessee. Its aver
age term is two months less than that
of the United States. North Caroline
spends annually for the education 0:
each child in her public schools less
than one-third the average amount fo1
the United States and only two-third
the amount for the Southern States
1t is plain and simple issue. Ever.

of North Carolina six-months

DO that. His record in the. Senate IS
one OF which the entire State may we'll
De proud. Chairman Of the most i'm
portant committee of the Senate, the
finance committee, charged with the
revenue bill of eight billion dollars
Senator Simmons has no time to look
after personal OF party interests. His
reelection to the Senate, where he oc-
cupies such a commanding position,
is important from the standpoint Of
supporting the President more
than from the standpoint of
party success. That is the matter of
supreme Importance. No voter can
afford to cast ballot lightly or mere
ly for the sake of party regularity
when so much depends upon giving
tht President the best possible support
in the coming election. In no way
can voter better support the Presi-
dent at the election next week than by
voting for Senator Simmons.

SIMMONS.

Senator F. M. Simmons is too busy
in Washington to be able to find time
to come to North Carolina before the
election November to look after his
interests, or even the interests Of the
party. He is busily engaged in help

position he holds in the United

SIX MONTHS SCHOOL TERM.

A measure that should receive at the
polls on November the support of
every voter is the six months school
term amendment. 1t is a non-par-
tisian measure, endorsed by both po-
litical parties of the State.
All that is proposed is to strike out
the words "four months" in section
3 of article TX of the constitution
and substitute therefor the words
"six months, thereby guaranteeing
a mandatory minimum school term OF
six months instead of four months by
State and county taxation in every
school district in every county. The
same machinery, already upheld by
the Supreme Court, that has proved
effective in securing a fourmonths
term, will prove equally effective fol
securing a six-months' term if the
amendment is adopted. The ballots

1t is usually found that the boxer
who fouls deliberately-and most all
fouls are deliberate--has streak Of
yellow adjoining his spinal vertebra.
The really game fighter never fouls
and a game fighter is usually better
seen In defeat than in victory. The
lad who keeps working hard even
though he is taking lots Of punches
and never tries to get even with q
foul blow is the sort that Is popular
in the ring.
1t is also noteworthy that rarely has
boxer come to any prominence who
was not thoroughly game through and
through. The champions have always
been the boys who could take punches
without whimpering and who have al
ways carefully avoided the rough stuff.
Bob Fitzsimmcns in his time was per-
haps In more tight places than any
other fighter the game has known.
But there was never the suspicion Of
foul in any of his battles. Stanley
Ketchel was another as game as they
ever come. No doubt Stan was one
Of the toughest but he never used any
foul methods. He, too, had been in
many tough places, but he never stoop-
ed to the towards way out of them.
Terry McGovern was a furious bat
tier, but he always kept within the
rules. Joe Cans was without question
one of the cleanest and fairest stars
that ever entered the ring. Battling
Nelson and Ad Wolgast, however, do
not deserve quite such pleasant ap-
probation. Both were rough battlers
and neither was without his trace of
cowardice at times. Though able to
take lots Of punishment, they both
showed at different times in their car
GERS a certain lack of moral courage.
Fouling seems to be more frequent
occurrence today than it has for some
while. 1t seems to be seen particularly
among the present day heavies. Carl
Morris is probably the most illustrious
example, though Fred Fulton has been
found guilty more than once. Gun
boat Smith and Charley Weinert have
records that are not unblemished OF
all the heavies Frank Moran looks to
be the gamest. Moran may not be the
cleverest or the hardest hitter, but
there has never been any rough stuff
marked up against him.

Y. M. c. A. Quintet May Play
Curtain-Raiser Before High
Game.

A double header basketball game
probably will be staged next Friday
night at the Coliseum, the first game
between the Hamilton ~" five and
the Richmond ~" quintet, and the
second between the Bloomington high
school basketball team and the Rich
mond high team.
II the school authorities agree to
Coach Schwan's "Y" five playing the
first game with Hamilton Friday night
Coach Schwan announced that the
game would be cancelled for Saturday
night and an attempt made to bring
the team here Friday.
A few weeks ago Hamilton defeated
the "Y" basket ball squad on the Ham
ilton floor.
The high school basketball men are
in good shape for the game physically
with the exception Of Stegman, who
has been i'll with the pneumonia and
will not be able to be in the game Fri
day night.
This is the last high school game at
home until February unless game is
scheduled here for the open date, Jan

been decreed in that state that any
fighter found guilty of taking through
fight hereafter will not get his
money for the exhibition, but the
same will be turned over to charity.
A clause to this effect will appear in
every fighters contract and he will
not be able to recover through the
courts. If something Of this sort was
in more general practice fight fans
would not SO often be obliged to watch
hugging match instead of spirited
battle.
John l.. Sullivan will soon celebrate
his sixtietn birthday and he looks fit
to celebrate quite few more yet to
come. He is Twin on his farm in Mas
sachusetts and leads a life that keeps
him in the best sort of fettle. 1t is in
teresting to note that almost all of
the fighters Sullivan met in his day
have since passed away, but the grand
old man keeps hearty and has never
let prosperity or success have a
chance at his health.
If John Lavan, now the property Of
the Washington club, enters the gov
eminent medical service it will be in
the navy and not in the army But he
hasn't definitely decided on anything
yet.

REDS MAY TRAIN At.
OHIO SOLDIERS CAMP

CINCINNATI, Jan. S.-Plans we're
virtually completed today for the Gin
cinnati Reds to shift their spring train
ing camp from Shreveport, La. to
Camp Sheridan, Montgomery, Ala, this
spring. The move, if made, would be
for patriotic purposes, as the big
leaguers can help relieve the monotony
of the soldiers lives by playing three
games a week.
Christy Mathewson, manager Of the
Reds, is now at Camp Sheridan direct
ing the largest checker tournament
ever held anywhere. He favors the
change, according to word brought to
Cincinnati by Camp Sheridan Y. NJ. c.
A. workers. President Hermann, Of
the Reds, also favors it, but will leave
the decision up to Mathewson. Herr
mann believes the Chicago Cubs would
be glad to take the Shreveport con-
tracts off the Reds hands. Mathew
son has donned an army Y. NJ. c. A.
uniform and will remain at Camp
Sheridan as Y. NJ. c. A. director un-
til the training season opens.

Anyone who has looked into the
matter will admit that Vean Gregg's
comeback in the International league
last season was one of the most as
tonishing in many years Of minor
league ball. Gregg's pitching for
Providence was thing of beauty and
OF purest ray serene. And it was all
accomplished by quitting the bowl
that foams and by keeping in the best
Of shape.
Connie Mack now has Gregg booked
up for next season and he believes that
Vean will knock 'em cold in the Amer
lean league again just as he has done
in seasons gone by. Before taking
Gregg on Connie Mack looked him
over more than once last year. He
made up his mind that there was no
mistake about it, Gregg was ready for
a big showing in fast company.

showing in the Coast league, Gregg

Though President Charles WEIGH
man, of the Cubs, beat his way
through the blizzard from Chicago to
Cincinnati on Sunday night and arriv-
ed here yesterday morning only two
hours behind time, his strenuous ef-
forts will not enable him to add the
name of Roger Hornsby to hts little
list of hopeful athletes that he search
ed all over Chicago Sunday night for
some railroad that was operating a
train to Redland. Ban Johnson found
his favorite road blocked and desisted
from further attempt to set out of the
snow-bound Windy City, but Mr..
Weeghman, with one hand on his
cashbook and one eye on Hornsby,
discovered an open road and dashed
madly in this direction.
He came full Of hope that the power
of his coin would wrest the release of
Hornsby from the st Louis Club, but
his trust was in vain. One anxious
offer to President Branch Hickey and
Manager Jack Hendricks, of the Cardi-
nails, and hope forsook the Weeghman
wigwam. There is no inducement
that you can offer which will cause us
to part with Hornsby," said Mr.. Rick
