of ninety four years. He is a

10 The Democratic Voters Of North Caro-

few facts and to enlist the sup.
port of all the voters in the Dem.
ocratis Primary, to be held on
June 5th., next, for Judge b. +.
Long to fill the vacancy on Il e
Supreme Court Bench caused by
the withdrawal of Justice Georse @
H. Brown.
No one questions the eminer t
fitness of Judge Long for this
high judicial place. While enga-
ged in the active practice of his
profession he acquired, perhaps,
one of the most extensive Glen
tiles of any lawyer in the state,
and it was the application to this
work and the experience thus
acquired which prepared him so
tittingly to serve his District as
Solicitor, and afterwards to pre-
side, for fifteen years and more,
on the Superior Court Bench,
where he has demonstrated his
worthiness to wear the ermine.
With intelligent dignity and
fearless learning Judge long has
added splendor and renown to
the judicial traditions of North
Carolina, and his claim to promo
ton should be deservedly allow.
ed.
The Bar of Statesville has pre-
sented Judge Longs name to the
people of the State believing that
his candidacy would appeal to the
Democratic voters, We have

response made by lawyers an(

The Climax.

President Wilson contends that
the peace resolution sent him by
the House would place IAN ineffa-
ceable stain upon the gallantry
and honor of the United States,"
and for that reason he could not
attach his signature to it. But
he had an abundance of reasons
other than that. The resolution
ommitted the important things
embodied in the Versailles Trea.
ty, and it called for a peace in
which none of the essential in,
terests which we had at heart
when we entered the war is safe.
guarded" A peace such as that
which the resolution calls for is
"inconceivable," and is inconsis-
tent with the dignity Of the Uni,
ted States, with the liberties and
rights of her citizens, and with
the very fundamental conditions
of civilization. He could not
become a party to an action of
that kind, nor would he make his
country party to it. President
Wilson is going to prevent a com
plete surrender of the rights of
the United States, so far as the
German Government is concern
ed. His summary of the things
the peace resOlutiondoes not pro.
vide for makes it an impossible
measure to endorse. AS a mat
ter of course, the Republicans
had no serious expectation of un,
dertaking to bring about peace
with Germany by mere resolu,
tion. The drafting and passage
of the resolution was simply a
political play for further annoy
ance of the President and for the
qualification of Republican preju-
dices. A formal declaration that
the war with Germany is ended
and that we are at peace with the
country would be a piece of mon
umental absurdity, for in effect
it would free Germany from any
obligation, whatever. 1t would
give that Nation absolute freedom
from the terms of the Versailles
Treaty and would place the Amer,
lean soldier in the attitude of hav,
ing fought for nothing.
But the Republicans have safe
ly counted upon presidential
veto in deliverance of this coun-
try from the ridicule that would
have been brought upon it by
serious presentation in foreign
diplomatic circles of the mons
trous travesty of declaration of
peace with Germany by "resolu,
ton" They have scored a point
however, having carried their
malevolent designs to the limit.
The peace resolution" was sim
ply the climax to a long continued
campaign of Republican frcnzied
partisanry. - Charlotte Obser-

A MAN

Somebody has said that the
difference between a man and
any other animal is that the man
laughs. Let us have a look at
this thing and see if that is the
really distinguishing character
istic.
The road was broad and dusty
and from the centre it was full
ten or twelve feet to the shelter
of the hedge row on either side.
Up and down that road a steady
stream of automobiles WhiZzed all
day long.
Who ever can tell why on GER
tain occasions certain things will
happen a certain way? All we
know is that they happen. All
we can tell about it is that about
5 o'clock on a warm spring after
noon a downy little mite of a
chicken stood alone in the road.
1t is not of much consequence
how he got there or how the hen
with the rest of the brood in
their aimless wanderings had
drifted away and left him. The
little chap stood there alone. He
was scarcely bigger than the egg
he came from. Not a feather
had started yet; and there he was
in the middle of the road and a
more risky place he could not
have picked if he had hunted the
world over.
Along came a big automobile.
1t was hitting the high spots.
One man on the front seat gave a
startled exclamation. The driver
gave the steering wheel a sudden
jerk. The big car gave a jump to
one side. He gave it a jerk the
other way and the heavy vehicle
Strengthened up again. 1t had
straddled the chicken which still
stood dazed in the middle of the
road. The driver stopped. He
went back and showed the indiff-
erent little william off to one side
of the track where it presently
heard the cluck of the old hen
and was happy.
The driver climbed into his car
stepped on her, she gave a rum
bic or two and was off down the
road. The men had seen the
chicken in the choicest danger
spot it could find in the whole
range of it's limited life. They

ing missile weighing a ton or
more that the insignificant little
creature might not be harmed
and then frightened it out ofdan-
ger.
That's the difference between
a man and any other animal. A
man is the only creature that
thinks to save others and puts
himself to the bother of doing it.
The difference is more than a

ems. Deprivation has gone no
further than that in America. If
we had really suffered, perhaps
it would be a painful delight to
read of the gourmands of the
past days and their adventures

historic tales of greediness re-
Gently recalled fail to inspire en-

fense against taste and manners.
The awful examples" cited were
royalties; but even royal table
manners, in cruder and heartier
ages left much to be desired.
Henry of Navarro, he of the
white plume, used frequently to
express the wish to make France
so prosperous that every peasant
might have a fowl in the pot ev-
cry Sunday. But if the king had
condescended to share such a
peasant feast, there would not
have been much of it left for any
one else. He used easily to dis
pose of a whole fowl, although it
was of melons and oysters that
he was reputed to eat most greed
ily. Nevertheless, the hero of w.
ry was not really a aglutton. Com
pared with King Louis XV--
Louis the Beloved - and hisqueen,
Marie Leszcynski, he merely tri-
fled with food.
King Stanislas of Poland, faith
er of the queen, I'M a letter writ
ten about two centuries ago, told
of the simultaneous attacks of in,
digestion suffered by his daugh-
ter and his son in law. The king
had eaten toomany figs and drunk
too much milk on top Of them,
and had gone to bed with a we'll
earned royal stomach ache.
You have heard Of the indispo-
sition of the king and queen, "
wrote King Stanislas. THANK
God, they are through with it..
Their sickness is from eating too
much; for they suffered from a
violent Indigestion the queen es-
pecially, after she had eaten a
hundred and eighty oysters and
drunk four glasses of beer to fol-

That is a record to make one
gasp. 1t is a marvel that the un'

cretiun. However, her perform
