SEC'Y. HOUSTON ON
EUROPE'S FINANCES
Nothing in International Si;a-
alton to be Regarded as Ex-
tremeIy Grave, He Says.

Washington.-COnf that Eu-
ropes monetary problems will be set
tied satisfactorily was expressed Fri
day by Secretary Houston in re
view Of the international financial sit
uation.
This country is constantly furnish
ing Europe capital with which to re
construct the economic life OF nations
there" said Mr. Houston, explaining
that advances are being made in the
same way that Europe aided this
country in time of distress in the past
not by government loans so much as
by indirect methods. such as private
loans, sale of surplus army equipment
and the absorption of highgrade in
vestment securities offered in mar
kets here by European holders. The
secretary estimated that Europe had
received approximately $40OO,00O,000
from this country since the armistice
was signed.
The position of the United States
treasury was said by the secretary TO
be very strong and on Monday the last
issue of loan" certificates of indebt-
edness. about $60,000,000, will be re-
deemed, leaving no outstanding float
ing loan in the sense of short-term GER
tificates requiring to be refunded az
maturity Tax certificates outstanding
amount to $2,935 ,949 900. all of which
will be paid by forthcoming income
taxes profits.
Altogether Secretary Houston de-
clined to agree with the pessimistlc
view of some public men, who fore
saw a financial crash, and asserted
that while there are many difficulties
still to be overcome, there was nothing
in the situation to be regarded as eX'
tremely grave.

Honest Elections In
Mexico Are Assured

Mexico City.-The II governors and
who have been comforting in Mexico
City, at their concluding session
Thursday issued a lengthy manifesto
to the nation which, in general, gives
assurances that the coming elections
will be held peacefully and honestly.
The governors, the manifesto says,
will be responsible for law and order
within their jurisdiction during the
election period.
Twelve fundamental measures for
fair elections were adopted by the gov
ernors. These include nOn-participa-
ton of the federal army in tn cleo
tions; a guarantee of the right of suf-
frage; n-participation in the elac-
tions by public officials and others de-
pendent upon the executive; special
provision as to when and how soldiers
may vote, and an arrangement by
which a fair counting of the votes will
be assured.
The governors, who were cordially
received by President Carranza,
pledged their moral and material aid
to the president in turning over the
reins of power peacefully.
The governors also issued a state
ment declaring that they would refuse
to recognize any congress but the one
sitting in Mexico City, or any other
president than the one declared elect
ed by that congress.

ROBERT PAGE SPEAKS
In Speech Last Saturday at
Rockingham Hon. Robert
N. Page Asserts That
League Of Nations is Vitally
Necessary to the Honor and
Welfare of Our Country.

Hon. Robert N. Page, former
Congressman from this district,
and recently a candidate in the
Democratic primary for Cover
nor Of this State, appeared be-
fore a crowded court house in
Rockingham last Saturday af-
ternoon and for an hour and a
half made one Of the most ap-
pealing and effective speeches
for the Democratic party that
has been heard in this county
this campaign.
Mr.. Page was greeted by an
unusually large crowd of wo-
men who gave him the most rapt
attention. Nearly an hour Of
his speech was devoted to the
League of Nations and if there
were any present who had not
heretofore understood the
League, it is certain such one
now has a clear conception OF
what it means to the United
States. In scathing language he
denounced the Republican party
for the politics" they were
playing to defeat the League
not because they were against
it but because they put parti.
san politics above National hon
! or and patriotism and because
they hope to defeat the Demo
cratic party in the Nation by
repudiating the League sponsor
ed by Woodrow Wilson.

candidates for President of the
two parties was the more inter
esting because of his persona

Woman Urged to Do Her
Duty and Register.

Only two more days remain in
which the registration books
will be open. They close Satur-

What are our white women of
Richmond county doing about
this matter? Scarcely fifty per
cent of the women have regis
tered-a sad neglect of a plain
duty. The political issues are
too far-reaching too vital, for
the women of this county to neg
lect registering and voting.
They should register and vote
and by their efforts see to it that
the Democratic party is retained
in power. If by some mishap
the Republican party should win
in Richmond cOunty-~hOw bad
ly you good women would reel
for having by your Indifference
refused to register and vote!
Aside from county issues, the
League of Nations is Of such
tremendous Importance to the
PEACE and WELFARE of this
country that our women should
soIidly get behind it and endorse
it by a rousing majority.
See your registrar at once be-
fore it is too late. Remember,
the books will close Saturday

The first woman to have voted

CONVINCING SPEECH


day Night to Hear Eloquent
Woman Speaker Make APP
peal for League of Nations.
Urges the Women to Reg
lister and Vote the Demo
cratic Ticket.
It is no exaggeration to say
that no speech made in this
county in years created such a
profound impression as that de-
livered by DR.. Della Dixon-Car-
roll in the courthouse at Rock
ingham Monday night. The
people had anticipated brilliant
speech, nor were they disap-
pointed.
Because of the fact that a
theatrical show was in the city,
it was feared that the attend
ance might be slim. But not so.
Men and women, mostly women,
came from many miles, and
every township and every section
of the county was represented in
the vast audience. Standing
room was at a premium and
many could find no room inside.
And Mrs. Carroll more than
measured up to the expectations.
She is a practicing physician of
Raleigh, and is a sister of Thom-
as Dixon, the famous play
wright.
She spoke for So minutes, and
yet such was the heart-burning
message she brought the women
of Richmond county that the
time seemed as nothing, and the
audience longed for more.
She was introduced briefly by
Mr.. w. L. Parsons, and she lost
no time in preliminaries. Even
a stenographic report would do
her an injustice, much less a
|long-hand effort; but the Post
Dispatch will endeavor to skim
hurriedly through the gist OF
what she said. N
She first reminded her women
hearers that neither the Repub-
lican nor Democratic parties in
North Carolina wanted the
woman to vote. Two-thirds OF
the Republican members of the
legislature voted against the
suffrage measure; and so. the
Republicans can claim no credit
on that score. 100000 white
women in this State, and 28,-
100000 in the nation, are now
enfranchised. The women will
turn to the Democratic party
naturally. The woman's job is
to clean-and if cleaning is ever
necessary, they can do it within
