 According to Senator Underwood, this amendment was intended to stop the operation of the plants and thus to kill them. He contended that un .der the amendment the government could do no more than oil the ma chinery or paint the outhouses and that before the plants could ever serve their purpose it would be necessary to repeat the labor of five years and pur- sue new legislation throughout com mittee and which, if it had been

COLGATE, Kellogg or Wrig-
ley or anyone OF a hundred
others spend hundreds of thou,
sands of dollars every year tc
advertise their tooth paste
their corn flakes and their chew
ing gum. Shrewd business men
such as these would not make
such heavy expenditures merely
for the pleasure of seeing their
names in print. No. 1t is be-
cause they realize the returns
they are getting.
The POST-DISPATCH is pub
lished at the county-seat of a
rich manufacturing snd agricul-
tural county. The paper covers
the local field as closely as pos
sible. 1t prints the NEWS with
out fear or favor, and it is a po-
tential salesman for every one
who advertises therein. If you
have anything to sell, or want
to buy something, or have lost
an article, try an advt. in the

surprised at the responses. It
pays to advertise in the POST
DISPATCH.
Rockingham post-dispatch., 1920-08-19

AN editor can't manufacture
news. The POST-DISPATCH
can publish only that which can
be safely classed as legitimate.
How often have you picked up
a daily or weekly paper, and
glancing through it, laid it aside
with the remark that there's
nothing in the paper today"
You little realized the work that
went to make up that paper,
and that many items and articles
therein were of much interest to
others if not to yourself.
Probably you want the paper
to be more literal with the news.
Instead of saying 'Mrs. Jones
spent Tuesday in the city shop
ping" you would prefer that we
say, Mrs. Jones was in the city
Tuesday and bought a new set
of false teeth" Or instead of
saying of a party "the guests
arrived and chatted pleasantly
for an hour" when as a matter
of fact, it should read "the
guests struggled in, and the
game was delayed an hour wait
ing for Miss Cowstail who has
a habit of being late at every
party; instead of enjoying them
selves, the guests finally began
the game. with a Crouch"
It would be fun reading the
real truth about others, but it
would be a different matter if
that truth were about YOU. You
wouldn't be so anxious for ''lit-
eral" news, but would be con.
tent to let the liz Of Post-Dis-
patch publish it as it sees fit.

A Sad Death.

On Tuesday morning, August
10Th, the Angel of Death visited
the home of Mr.. E. J. Hale and
bore away to the realms Of eter-
nal bliss, the baby girl of the
family which on July 81, 1919,
was married to Mr!aAlex Nc
Queen. This loyal christian
woman was ready to answer the
call to go heavenward, but to
part with her husband and tiny
baby was a severe and trying
ordeal. Just a few hours prior
to her death, God had given her
a sweet little baby boy. This
baby will never know the tender
love of a mother.

Here is how Senator Warren
Harding, Republican candidate
for President, regards the League
of Nations; it is clipped from a
recent speech of his from his
front porch:
"This country cannot take its place in
the League of Nations because of the
presence in our midst of large numbers
of people of foreign birth who would
cease to be rejoicing American when the
land of adoption sits in judgment on the
land from whence they came"
Wonder how our Southern
Republicans, and our Richmond
county Republicans, regard this
brazen effort to get the German
American vote? In contrast is
the statement of Democratic
Candidate Cox who heartily en-
dorses the League of Nations and
who, in speaking of the foreign
element, says there are 100000
in this country of foreign birth
who need to be Americanized by
our American public schools.
If they can't stand the gaff Of
simorl-pure Americanism they
had best get out Of the country
and return to their native lands.
We have no room for half-hearted
hyphenated Americans.
