GOVERNOR BECKETT
OFFERS REWARD

A reward of one hundred dollars will
be paid by the State of North Caro-
lima for the arrest of the negro who
criminally assaulted young white
woman in Maxton on the night Of
February 18th, 1918, this amount to
be paid upon conviction of the guilty
person. The negro is described as
being low in stature, heavily built,
of rather bright color. 1t is likely
that he bears on one finger a
wound or bite inflicted by the teeth
of his intended victim in her efforts
to escape.

president, and that there is an equal s~prinkling of Re
publicans surreptitiously booming Theodore Roosevelt
for president.
This does no particular harm. A little nonsense
now and then is relished by the best of men.
Woodrow Wilson is president at the present juno
ture. If all goes we'll he will continue on the job until
March 4, 1921. That date is some time in the future,
and in the meantime the war is to be won. The best
service the friends of McAdoo, Roosevelt and the other
boys can render them is to keep them under cover for
the present. 1t is just barely possible that McAdoo and
Roosevelt might be drinking out of the same canteen,
politically speaking of course, in the next presidential
campaign.
American politics is not to escape entirely in the
general upheaval in world affairs.

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WILSON SPEAKS FOR THE WORLD

There never was a time in the history of the
human race when any one individual expressed the
sentiments of men in all countries and all chimes as
Woodrow Wilson is now doing.
The statement the president made to congress the
other day was at once flashed to all quarters of the
globe. A news item says that in less than two hours
from the time the president began speaking, his COM
plete address was delivered in all South America
centers and a few minutes later in most European
centers.
This address, like others of President Wilson since
the opening of the war, finds a ready response in all
parts of the civilized world because it expresses in
words than none can misunderstood or misconstrue
the hopes, the aspirations and the grim determination
of men who believe in human liberty and justice.
The almost instant receipt Of this address in all
parts of the world, even in some of those most remote,
shows, too, how the old barriers are broken down and
how the people of the world are drawn together in one
common brotherhood.
Verify, a new day has dawned.

THE ANSWER OF THE HUN

AS if in mockery of the peace pleas of Premier
Lloyd George and President Wilson comes the news
that the Germans have sunk another hospital ship. AS
if to emphasize the infamy of it the torpedo that sank
this vessel tore directly through the emblem of the
Red Cross painted on her side. 1t is emphasized still
further by the fact that the vessel was not within the
BARRED zone established by the Huns when she was
sunk. The fact that all the sick and wounded were
Gescued and that but three of the sailors were lost
will no doubt be sad news for the junkers responsible
for this mode of warfare.

U IN THE SADDLE

That joke about the southern colonel and his mint
ju1ep must be filed away in the archives of oblivion.
Mississippi is the first state in the union to ratify the
proposed amendment to the federal constitution to
prohibit the liquor traffic.
Fifteen minutes after the governor had submitted
his message to the legislature on the subject, says the
dispatch, both houses passed the resolution. There
were but eight dissenting votes. Does that look as if
the United States were for prohibition?
The north must look to her laure1s in this matter.
Even Kentucky is taking action.
