When the legislature meets IN
extraordinary session next July 1t
will be confronted with the question
of ratification of the amendment to
the federal constitution granting
the suffrage to the women. Person
ally we can see no reason why the
women citizens and taxpayers OF
the country should not be given the
privilege of voting if they want to
do so. The majority of them are
better qualified for handling the
ballot than some men who do vote,
but we do not believe that the Wo-
men of our state or of any other
state in the South are particularly
anxious to assume the full duties of
citizenship. And then the matter
of suffrage is not one in which the
federal government should meddlc
1t was never contemplated in the
inception of this government that
Washington should in any way reg
ulate the suffrage, as that was con-
sidered wholly within the province
of the states. and still should be so
regarded. There is but one instance
prior to the enactment of the pres
sent proposed amendment when the
federal government assumes in any
degree a control of the suffrage, and
that was when famous Fifteenth
Amendment enfranchising the ne
groes was passed and forced down
the throat of the South at the point
of the bayonet. If the women of
Colorado want to vote it is none of
North Cardinals business, and if
the women of North Carolina do
not want the suffrage it is none of
the affair of self-styled reformers
among the society bugs in New
Y6lk, who have nothing better to
do than to try to pick the mote out
of somebody else's eyes. The amend
ment has met with a cold reception
in the other southern states that
have passed upon it, and we believe
that it will be the same in North
Calolina. This business of passing
an amendment to the United States
constitution making other folks in
other states do like somebody else
wants them to do is becoming en-.
tirely too much of a national pas.

Armour Says Best For Con- sumer and Pro
 ducer.
MUST BE SUPERVISED
 BY THE GOVERNMENT
Plan Would Save Millions of
 Dollars

l Washington, Jan. 25.-J. Ogden Ar mour today suggested a monopoly. under government supervision, of the entire meat industry of the country as best for producer and consumer. i Testifying before the Senate agri culture committee, he declared that by this plan millions of dollars could be saved, which would increase the pro- fits of producers of livestock and cut down the cost of meat to consumers. The necessity of close government supervision was emphasized however, 1 by MT. Armour.
 Such 9 concern must be regulated by the government" he told the 1 committee, because few men, with such enormous power, would use it properly"
 There was no discussion of Mr. Armour's plans, which he proposed during cross examination by Francis J. Heney, who conducted the federal trade commission packing house in- quiry. The questioning then touch ed upon the alleged existence of a combination among the leading pack CTS with MT. Armour denied. Wants Packers Fund. MT. Armour explained that the packers contributed to a general fund, such as might be used in joint legis- lative action, and said he believed this was a common practice among industries.
 Payments were paid on a percentage basis which followed he added, the basis adopted during a pool by these concerns many years ago "to prevent an over-supplied market" Each of the companies, he testified now tried to maintain about the same share of business as at that time, but he denied that there was any actual l agreement to that effect.
 Don't you think that that is a de- cided tendency?" MT. Heney asked, toward eventual growth of only three big packing ompanines-Armour and Company, Swift and Company and Morris and Company"
 "I've heard some such statement before," MT. Armour replied.
 Need Small Packers.
 MT. Heney contended that the coun. try would benefit if the business were conducted by more small packing houses, widely distributed. He accus. ed the particular of wasteful methods, made possible by their great volume of business.
 MT. Armour contended that the par ticulars acquired no advantage from their relationships with banks and railroads. He gave the committee a full list of all banks and railroads o1 which he is director, and small com panies in which he holds stock.
 MT. Armour will continue his testl' mony Monday and probably will be followed by his colnsel, Levy Nave, who will discuss the validity of thn Kendrick bill to regulate the meat interests.

ATTACK ON CRUISER GALVESTON BRINGS
 FORTH STATEMENT
Secretary Daniels Replies
 In Defense.

Washington, Jan. Established re- ports that the cruiser aGlveston had failed to give, adequate protection to the American transport Ticonderoga sunk by German submarine Septem- Der 3Oth, last, caused Secretary Dan iels to issue a statement tonight des- cribing how the ship was destroyed, as reported by the commanding officer of the Cruiser, and stating that court of inquiry was Investigating.
 The statement said the Galveston, acting as escort for fourteen vessels 1,4OO miles off the British coast was ahead and on the right flank, and that the cargo carrier Feltore was known to be two miles south of the convoy. Shortly before daylight, the Galveston seeing a gun flash on the starboard side five or six miles away, and think ing "the Feltore was being. attacked, changed her course, ran toward the flash opened fire with five inch guns. /" Saw Guns Flash.
 The commanding officer reported that a few minutes later the Calves ton saw second set of gun flashes which were very close together and l made it dangerous to continue firing due to the possibility of hitting a friendly vessel" :, Not knowing the Ticonderoga had fallen, out of the convoy the state ment continued, the Galveston return ed to her position and in'checking up the ships later it was found the trans port was missing. '-s
 Many Men Sick.
 "The commanding officer states that due to the large mum Der of men in the engineers force who were sick with influenza," Secretary Daniels said ",it had been necessary to reduce hisc boiled power and if he remained absent from the convoy any great length of time ke would be unable to reioin. and thef submarines would therefore, have good opportunity of attacking the other vessels. That he did not know the ship attacked was from his convoy and that it was his first duty to remain with the large number of ships in the convoy rather than to remain longer with the ship being attacked and that he thought she had chance to escape.
 "The commanding officer states that his general instructions were that ii one or more ships in convoy are tor pedoed ovmined, the ocean escort IS tc to proceed with her convoy"
 ' Survivors of the Ticonderoga re- ported that during the night of Sep. tember 29th, 30th, the vessel dropped out of her position because of diff. culty in maintaining steam and speed

PEACE COMMENCE ........... SHOWS FIRST SIGN
 0f A DIVISION
Four Resolutions Bring
 Forth Many Pro- tests.

Paris, Jan. 25.-The first signs of division in the conference was when it considered the four relations fram- ed by council of the great powers. providing for committees on labor, re- sponsibility of the war; reparation for damages, and ports, railways and wa terWays.
 Camille Huysmans. in behalf of Belgium, asked for two members on the committees of labor, reparation, and the league of nations, and one each On the others. Serbia ade sim liar request.
 Brazil was more emphatic, declar- ing against "a cut-and-dried pro- gram" and saying that the confer ence should be master of it's own de- cisions.
 Greece Wants In.
 M. Venizelos said that Greece was entitled to membership on the com mittees of reparation and ports. M Bratiaho, for Rumania, and Dr. Benes for Czecho-Slovakia, as well as the delegations representing Portugal China, Siam and Poland, also asked for places on the committees. It looked for a time as if the small nations had formed bloc and woul ] contest the decisions of the great powers to restrict the committees. ] "We will have something to say i declared Dr. Benes, "in winding uT the Austro Hungarian empire, and il 1 is difficult to understand how any committee can act without informa- tion that the -Slovaks alone !, can give" /
 M Bratiano added, N"The smaller nations have more interests at stake than the great powers on many o1 1 these questions"
 M. Clemenceau finally, in a good i tempered speechfi said that the coun- cil had not imposed its decisions, but had simply convoked the conference to consider the plan.
 "After AS years of public life," he said, q am satisfied that the larger 1 the committee is. the less it accom-. plishes. I beg the delegates not tc waste time on questions of procedur; when millions of men are waiting tc ; be demObilized. Let us organize the committee at once and get to work We have no desire to be unjust te anyone, but wish to devise a proce dure leading to rapid results"
 Col. House was present at the ses sion of the conference for the first time since his illness.

NATION IS .fAllNG, GREATEST PERIOD
 FOR MRDuS1RIES Secretary Wilson Predicts
 Normal Conditions T Soon.
WARNS THAT LABOR
 HAS RESERVE FUND
Will Resist Attempt to Force. Down
 Wages.

New York, Jan. 25.--Predicting that the country will "get back into it's normal swing" within six months after the signing of the armistice, William B. Wilson, secretary of labor, declared here today, that the nation faces eight or ten years of "the Great est industrial activity ever known" Mir. Wilson spoke at luncheon giv- en in his honor and that of United States Senator James Hamilton Lewis, of Illinois, by the Lawyers Club, on the eve of the departure for France of the department of labor's economic misison.
 While predicting prosperity, MT. Wilson warned that labor has re- serve of money to resist any attempt to force down wages unduly. He as- serted that Eff we have any large per- iod of industrial unrest, there is no telling where the social upheavel will lead us."
 May Cause Revolution. He declared it would be hard to say whether it would lead "to revolution such as that of the French, or of the Bolsheviki in Russia"
 Democracy is slow to remedy in ternal evils," he said, "slow to move forward along new lines. Yet, unless the principle of accepting the will of the majority is taken, the same con- dition that brought about our war with Germany will exist. That con dition is autocracy. So my appeal to all people is 'get your business going and keep it going"
 Referring to the need of tiding over a brief period of readjustment, MT Wilson said:
 Need Postwar Basis.
 "We now have to turn our atten. tion to the task of Rehabilitation and re-establishing ourselves on a stable postwar basis. This will be easy ii every man engaged in business in the United States will bring himself to be lieve that the best policy to follow is to re-establish his business on the same basis as before the war.
 "In nearly all lines of industry there is depletion of available stocks. Shelves are empty and vii have to be filled to normal bushes: weight.
 "The supply of labor is not as great as men are prone to think. Because o1 the cessation of immigration during the war and the fact that it will bt

assured of an ample supply of the richest

But Mr.. Stokes is absent from his Green.
wich home great deal travelling, Win

year at his town home in New York. Thus
when MIR. Stokes is away, obviously, there
is a surplus of fine milk from his cows
with nobody to consume it. In the past
when this has occurred Crooks, the super
intendent. marketed the milk to various
dairies.
This year, however he solicited a pri.
vate route and distributed the milk in tin
cans at from sixteen to eighteen cents a
quart to five families and to the hotel The

They knew that they were absent from
their home, but many do feel that the
department OF health should have notified
every consumer Of the milk that there was
case OF scarlet fever at the Crooks home
when the fact was first reported to the
health authorities. Also that in the sb-
sence OF notifying the consumers they
should have prevented the delivery OF the
milk which was coming from a source
open to contamination. To date, at four
out OF six delivery points, where Mr..
Crooks sold his milk, thirteen cases OF
scarlet fever have developed. No new
cases have been reported since December
8, and the local health Office believes that
there will be no further cases attributable
