NORTH CAROLINA
| PLEADS FOR DEFEAT
OF RATIFICATION
Petition Signed by Majority Of
the Tarheel Solons Urges Ten
nessee to 80 Slow -Suaragists
Still Sanguine as Outside Party
Leaders Continue to Exert pres.
sure on Law Makers.
(By Associated Press. }

Nashville, Tenn, Aug. 12.-By ;
tentative arrangement adopted Wed
nesday night 1t is expected that tn,
Hover house of the Tennessee legis
lature will vote on the suffragc
amendment some time Friday. It is
also announced that the upper house
may act on that day.
Suffragists having counted the
members and canvassed them to their
hearts content, express themselves
as well pleaed with the outlook. They
now propose the slogan, Tennessee,
a perfect thirty-six. At the same
time, the anti's are very active, and
there is slight feeling of uneasiness
over the possibility that they may find
some way to block proceedings at the
eleventh hour.
A petition, signed by sixty-three of
the l2O members of the North Caro-
lima Legislature, has been received
here, begging the Tennessee legisla-
ture not to ratify the federal amend
ment, and asking that woman suf.
frage be not forced upon North Caro-.
lima by Tennessee. This appeal is not
without its effect, but suffrage lead
ers say it will be more than overcome
by the pressure brought to bear by
rational leaders.

any chance for saving her Life. The

Revealing English Character

Two recent incidents illustrate a
side Of English character TOO often
overlooked. The underlying senti-
nent is explanatory in a way of Eng
lands greatness. 1t was more than
an incident. however, when England
set apart in Westminster Abbey a
shrine, to her dead who gave their
lives and left no trace of the place of
giving.
The stone erected in the Abbey
bears this inscription: Here Lies an
Unknown Soldier Who Fell in the
War, 1914 to 1919" There it stands
among the graves of the great who
nave given of their best to the
making of the British empire. There
is that in the conception, a sympa-
thetic sense of justice. tender recog-
milton of worth. of courage, of love
OF countrys of self sacrifice, which re-
veais the real qualities of an English
man conception not unlike that
which prompts England on Armistice
Day TO stand uncovered and in
silence. 1t is to be but for two min
utes, but the act and the thought
prompting it are most significant.

Now to the Task.

The American people having picked
their party and selected their leaders
for the next four-year period of con-
Quoting the affairs of the government
il seems appropriate to suggest that
merely beginning has been made;
furthermore that the Republican par
~ nor the leaders chosen may be able
TO properly accomplish the task alone
and unaided. Every American, wo-
men as well as men, has a share in
that task. and now to it. There is
no other way to attain the complete
success the country deserves
II is a gratifying augury of this CO.
operation that we have such a leader
IS Mr.. Harding. He has demonstrat-
cd his desire to seek cooperation and
an excellent judgment in the matter
Of selecting advice. Not only has he
rad experience in the legislative
branch of the country's affairs but
has learned that in many important
respects more responsibility rests on
the administrative. He has had op-
portunity to learn that whatever
Congress may do, much will remain
TO be done by those who apply the
legislation. Congress might make
laws for the postal service until the
cows come home but with Burleson
in charge it would continue to dod-
der along.
Readers may recall this in one Of
Harding's recent addresses: I'VE are
asking that great responsibility be
placed on US" He is aware that an
administrative record Of unparalleled
wastefulness and poor management
is yet with US; he has information
respecting the demagogic appeals to
labor and the consequent unrest. I'M
reasonably made SO in some in
stances; he sees the products Of the
land, raised under hard conditions.

most of which consisted of chocolate
candies of good quality. packed In
tins and each piece wrapped in TN
foil.
+ The war ceased before the pro-
crastinating War Department
shipped much of it abroad Like the
airplanes, the guns. the rifles. the gas
and other things contracted for. the
candy never reached the soldiers.
Later. the War Department pro-
ceeded to dispose of it to favorites at
a nominal price. The purchasers
paid or 10 cents a pound for this
candy which eTas selling on the re-
tail market for so cents or $1-oe.
These pet brokers were not required
to pay for the candy until they had
secured customers who would pay
them. In the meantime the candy re-
manned in Government storehouses
free of charge. When the public re-
ceived these candies it was at rate
ten times what the Government had
received for it.
Briefly the indictment is this: The
Government bought the candy at the
market prices. 1t never reached the
soldiers. The War Department sold
it at old junk prices. and the public
is buying it at the present high price
of candy.

Prices Must Decline
{Eali Piy-er News,

What the Secretary Of the Treas
ury told the convention of bankers
needs to be told TO managers of indus
try and business and as well to the
workers in those industries and to the
whole people.
The truth. invincible and inexor-
able. is that inflated. artificial and I'M
supportable prices of abundant COM
modities cannot be maintained but
must fall towards their natural levels.
War prices for prodigious stocks of
goods cannot be maintained. The
public will not buy them. Whatever
class of goods is in question ii can
not be sold at war prices. The de-
mand will cease unless there is re-
duction in price. Either an abundant
supply must come down gradually of
its own accord in an orderly manner.
or il must come down at some time
with a destructive crash.
