CITIES TO BUY GOVERNMENT
FOOD AND DISTRIBUTE
1T TO THE PEOPLE

Washington, Aug. 4.-The method
of procedure whereby North Caro-
lima cities can take advantage of the
reduced prices offered by the War
Department in it's sale of surplus
canned and cured meats has been
announced. The prices as heretofore
announced indicate that a body blow
is directed at Old H. C. L.; and North
Carolina towns may well take ad-
vantage of the curtai1ed prices.
The surplus products are offered
to the municipalities in not less than
car load lots, but at these warehouses
at which stocks of vegetables and of
meats are stored a municipality will
be permitted to purchase mixed car
loads of either vegetables or meats,
or both vegetables and meats. The
prices quoted are f. o. b. location.
The War Department does not pay
freight charges or transport the
goods. The responsibility for such
detail must be assumed by the mu-
, nicipality.
To make these food supplies as ac-
! cessible as possible to the general
public, the War Department will per-
nit towns to purchase the surplus
stocks and defer payment until they
shall have been disposed of, provided
| this extension of credit shall not ex.
ceed period of ten days, after the
goods shall actually have been deliv
cred to the municipality.
| The War Department will nego
i tiate only with properly accredited
official of town for the sale of this
Subsistence. 1t will not concern it
self with the manner in which the
municipality, having obtained the
goods, shall offer it to the public
further than to stipulate that the
town shall sell it at cost. The mu
nicipal government is at liberty tt
conduct the sale of the food stuff un
der the direction of municipal officer
or civic bodies, to whom it may del
egate authority.
1 Municipals desiring to take advan
tage of the War Departments offe
are requested to negotiate directl.
with the surplus property officer, a
the nearest of the zone supply offices
which are located in the following
cities: Boston, New York, Philadel
phia, Baltimore, Newport News, At
lanta. Chicago, St. Louis, New Or
leans, Fort Sam Houston, Ell Paso

The SCHOOL CODE
lFrom the pov or state News.l

Friends Of Delaware's new School
Code will derive much satisfaction
from the fact that the state judiciary
last week handed down an opinion, in
which They unanimously concurred,
holding the Code TO be constitutional,
for this means that The new school law
will receive a fair tr6l. There is no
doubt that a strong sentiment has been
created in opposition 10 the Code. but it
may be possible that q trial OF the law
will show that many Of the objection
able features will work out i'm a salts
factory manner-if not the Code can be
amended at the Legislative session in
the spring Of 1921.
While there may be a number Of
features in the comprehensive law
which do not satisfy many taxpayers OF
the state, yet it is admitted by oppo-
nents Of the Code that II also contains
many admirable points. Thus il is at
least a start in the right direction to
secure a more modern and efficient edu-
cational system in this State By Civ
ing the law a trial Of two years. the
good can be sifted from the bad, and by
the time the Legislature convenes in
1921 the lawmakers Of the State will be
able to approach the subject in an in
telligent manner, and amendments can
be made based on actual experience.
lt is really fortunate that the Code
was declared constitutional, for 10
would have been a great blow 20 the

WILSON'S PRESENCE WAS
OBSTACLE TO JUST PEACI

From The Rochester IN. ~ Democrats
Chronicle)
Charges that have been made by OBJ
servant American newspaper CORE
spOndents in Paris that the presence Of
President Wilson at the Peace Confer
ence, and his ineXhaustble flow Of fine
sentiments, really were a damage TO the
cause Of just peace and a sincere at
tempt 10 establish the world on new
basis Relationship are practically adj
mitted by the Manchester Guardian.
That newspaper one Of the most influ-
entlal in England, was an earnest ad-
vocate Of the formation of genuine
League OF Nations. II said recently, in
The course Of an attack on Article X:
The effect Of the American pariicipa-
ton in that guarantee is to insure the
existing cabinets (of the European gov
ernments) against the consequences Of
their own policies" The Guardian also
declared that the assured American
guarantee has acted not as a restraining,
but as an melting force upon the claims
OF the governments, and Europe has
been prevented from finding its own
equilibrium. It seemed perfectly safe
TO press matters TO The utmost limit be-
cause, no matter how t0pheavy the
structure. America was there TO steady
it. and Mr. Wilson was there to hallOw
it, If the European statesmen had eX-
ercised a little moderation, the scheme
might have gone through. They went
too far with the result that even the
unctiousness Of Mr. Wilson could not
"hallow' all of their acts, at least in
The eyes Of Americans

LINCOLN's AMERICANIsM
WAS AGAINST ALLIANCE.

From the New York Herald)
In an address at Manchester, Eng
land, Judge Alton b. Parker took oc-
casion 10 say that "Our government
could not have taken our nation into
The war when Great Britain went il
10 had tried in do so. Washington had
warned our people against entangling
alliances abroad However the reali-
Zation that unless the people Of the
United States helped the Allies "Our
nation, and perhaps the whole world.
might in the end become the slaves OF
Germany opened their eyes.
An Americans will agree with Judge
Parkers statement OF the reason why
America entered the war Not all, how
ever. will agree with his statement
that broader vision brought the con-
viction that Washingtons views. sound
when we were a small and isolated ma
tion. have no application now that our
nation is full grown and isolation exists
nowhere on earth except at the poles"
The occasion was the presentation Of
a statue Of Abraham Lincoln 90 the
English City Would il not have been
more appropriate to sound the Ameri-
canism Of Lincoln and what the saving
Of the Union under Lincoln m 1865
meant to England and France in 1918
and 1919? America was able TO save
the day for her associates in the war
because Of the determination on Lin /
coins part TO maintain the Union and |
preserve the independence and SOW |
ereignty Of the United states. Lincoln's |
Americanism was the Americanism OF |
Washington. Lincoln warned against |
entangling alliances abroad as did |
Washington.
Mr.. Lincoln stood firmly on the |
American constitution and it's interpre- |
tation in a manner 20 unquali1edly pre- |
serve the Union lie held fast TO the |
"inviolability Of the constitution and |
perpetual Union" Throughout the
great conflict his one desire was TO
save the Union. From The FIRST in
augural TO his death ne showed faith in
the patriotism Of The people and The
Americanism imbedded I'm the very
and structure Of the repub-
lie.
10 would seem that the occasion TO
which Judge Parker so eloquently adj
dressed his efforts might have promGt-
I'd a more minute recital Of Lincoln's
Americanism, which so fully breaihed
The spirit Of Union, Of national inde-
pendence and unallOyed sovereignty.

WILSON'S VIEWS IN 1871
AND WILSON'S VIEWS NOW
lFrom The Bulte lMont.) Post.)

From the Butte 'MOnt) POst.)
AT the unyeiling Of the Barry monu-
ment in Washington. D. c.. on May 6,
1911. President Wilson spoke these
words; There are just as vital things
stirring now that concern the existence
Of the nation as were stirring then, and
every man who worthily stands i'm this
presence should examine himself and
see whether he has the full conception
Of what IL means that America should
live her own life. Washington saw it
when he wrote his farewell address. II
was not merely because Of passing and
transient circumstances that Washing
ton said that we must keep from en-
tanglng alliance. II was because he
saw that no country had yet sci its
face in the same direction I'm which
America had set her face. We cannot
form alliances with those who are not
going our way and in our might and
majesty and in the confidence and
defniteness of our own purpose. we
need not and we should not form alli-
ances with any nation in the world
Those who are right. those who study
their cOnsciences in determining their
policies, those who hold their honor
higher than their advantage, do not
need alliances When we go from out
Of this presence, we ought TO take this
idea with US, that we, too. are devoted
to the purpose Of enabling America TO
live her own life, to be the iustest, the
most progressive, the most honorable,
the most enlightened nation in the
world. You need alliances only when
you are not strong"
