weak body up out of the mud of the

PATRIOTISM THAT HURT
When Congress discussed the bonn
bardment of Boston which Washing
ton recommended great old John Han
cock said: at is true that nearly all
my property is in houses and other
real estate in Boston; but if the ex-
pulsiCn of the British and the liberties
of my country require their being
burned to ashes, issue the order i'm
mediately" jeremiah had the same
sort of patriotism that hurts. One
lone figure, he stands against the
whole state in support of the things
that make that or any other state
great; honor, justice. Righteousness.
Physically a coward he was, but wore
a medal of merit and V. C. upon his
heart. If the thing was right, if it
would serve the best interests of that
land of his love, that was the thing he
would do tho he died in the doing of
it. There was never a thought Of
compromise or of diplomacy in ap-
pearing to sanction the voice of the
crowd that he might gain popu-
larity that would be used to lead them
in the way he desired. True as truth
he dared to be unsilenced when pied
ges were broken, when released
slaves were brought back to letters,
and he would be heard. Starved in
prison, or smothering in the mud of
cistern, there was no lowering of
his flag or the change of a syllable in
his message. Doom was Gods only
order for national depravity. He was
never hopeless except for sin; the
nation should return and live. Puri-
fed, cleansed by fire it should yet be
the glory of the whole earth. May
his tribute increase while their need

WOULD CLASSIFY
SERVICE MEN
Of i

Washington, Oct. 2S.--Examination
by army Officers OF notes taken during
the recent conference here with a Sc
leeted groIip Of civilians as to prin-
ciplcs which should govern any future
military draft regulation has brought
out several distinct features which the
conferees were agreed should apply
to the classification Of enlisted per-
sonnet
For one thing is was the judg-
nent of the civilian conferees, all of
whom had wartime draft experience.
that work necessary in the army should
be classified by occupations in or
der that the classification of men call
ed to the colors could be expedited and
their assignments be based on the
similarity of their civic training and
military work they were best fitted 10
perform. 1t was also believed that the
classification OF men should begin
when they were called by local draft
boards and not await their arrival
at mobilization centers.
Another point brought out was the
difficulty Of dealing in the army with
men Of low mental caliber. A sugges-
tion was made that the regulations
should prevent such men from being
called for active military service.
The conferees were in harmony also
as the dcsirability Of using men avail
able only for limited military ser
vice. from the beginning of the opera
ton Of the draft law and not deferring
such cases for later treatment.
10 meet the problem of dealing
with limited service men and occupa-
tional specialists the suggestion was
made that clearing pool centers for
each of these groups might be estab-
lisfed and that the excess from the
various local boards could be turned
over to these pools for futher assign
ment. The plan would work especially
well in distribution Of specially quail
fled occupationai specialists it was
held.

JOHN D., JR., COMES OUT
FOR AN 8-HOUR DAY

New York, Oct. MA sweeping
statement declaring his personal stand
for the eight-hour day i'll industry and
-condenaning the 12-honf day and. .<ths
seven-day week as unnecessary, un
economic and unjustifiable" was issu-
ed here by John D. Rockefeller, Jr.
The statement appears in the form
of an article signed Ly Mr. Rookie
feller in the current issue Of the
Survey Graphic and follows an ar
laingment OF working conditions in
certain oil fields Of Wyoming in the
same magazine by r. S. Lynd, who
spent three months investigating con-
ditions.
The statement today is the second
within week Mr.. Rockefeller has
given out IN behalf Of the laboring
men. The previous one, issued last
Wednesday,, took up the cudgel in
the interest of coal miners in Som
erset county, Pennsylvania, and par
ticularly those employed by the Con-
sohdated Coal company of which he
is stakeholder.
II believe that generally speaking
the 12-hour day and the seven-day
week should no longer be tolerated
in industry, either from the view
point Of public policy or of indus
trial efficiency the Oil magnate says
in his most recent statement. II be-
lieve both have been proven to be
unnecessary uneconomic and unjust
ifiable.
Even in those industries where the
so-called Continuous process" is an
inevitable feature, Mr. Rockefeller
says he believes that routine should
be so adjusted that the employees
can have at least one days rest IN
seven and can obtain that share of
leisure for se1f-developnlent which
accompanies the work day Of ap-
proximately eight hours
while the adoption Of these stand
ards may and doubtless will at first
entail increased costs of production,
l am confident that in the long run
greater efficiency and economy will
result, and that from the outset
public opinion will support any in
dustry which installs them.''

SAYS DAY OF JAZZ
BECOMING HISTORY

Atlantic City, N. j., Oct. 27.-Tbe
period of jazz which started at the

Lewis S. Madge, Of Philadelphia, stats
clerk of the Presbyterian general as
sembly, who is here attending the
sessions of the consolidation COM
mittee which was appointed by the

fourteen boards and agencies of the

"The throwing aside of all restraint
brought about by the n1ingling of the
sexes during the war days,T said
DR.. Nudge lis new becoming passe.
This is indicated by the passing Of
the short skirt and the return to
popular favor of long hair. The col
lege dances where jazz formerly reign
ed supreme are also reflecting the
changed spirit. The extreme styles
the indecent dancing and the pocket
flask are very seldom seen now at
these affairs.
SIN short, the moral tone of the
younger generation is steadily improv-
ing. The reaction has set in and WE
will soon see the return Of sober

LONDON PLANS INCREASED
AIR PASSENGER SERVICE

London. Oct 1O.-The London-Berlin
airway, the first section of which
that between London and Holland
was opened recently, completes an aer-
ial service of eleven planes leaving
London daily for the continent. The
popularity Of the airways among tour
lists during the past summer has led
to plans for routes to be opened in
the spring which will connect London
by air with all Of the principal points
within radius Of SOC miles.
These plans included daily trips to
Scotland, Deauville, Denn ark, Ireland,
and Luxembourg. It is proposed also
to keep several plants for special trips
a feature of travelling which has prov
ed popular with American tourists.
The cost of these journeys is about
four pence (eight certs) a mile.
The new London Berlin route is be-
ing operated by an English company,
and a double service will be run in
each direction from Rotterdam daily
until the route is completed. The trip
will take two and a half hours, and
will be made for Cd, or little more than
|3Lad a mile. The saond stage of the
journey will be opened about October
80, when the route will be from Lon
don to Hamburg and Berlin.
At the present time five planes are
making eight trips daily between Lon
don and Paris, carrying an average OF
three passengers on each trip. Ihe
routes to Rotterdam, Brussels and Ant
werp are constantly filled III advance
and carry a full capacity Of freight.

There are many improvements unde,

are already making additions and i'm

The Green Park Hotel Company has
q force Of men now at work on their
nine more holes, making it an 18-hole
course. They are also doubling the
capacity of their dining room and max
ing other improvements about the no.

Near the Green Park hotel, Mr.
CoMtray, who recently bought the }.
NJ. Bernhardt property overlooking
Blowing Rock, is preparing to build q
handsome summer home, which will
be ready for next season. Mr.. Petty
Of Charlotte is just finishing nice
summer cottage near the Green Park
hotel. Mr.. Mebane Of Great Falls,
S. c., who is connected with the
Southern Power Company, has
bought six lots on the Mayview Pin
acle and is letting a contract for a
$4,000 summer home. Mr.. L. 3. Will
Hanson, Of Graham, has also bought
two lots on the NTayview park prop
erty and it letting contract for a
summer cottage that is to cost from
$4,000 to $4,000.
The Pinckney property has been
bought by Mr.. w. L. Alexander OF
Blowing Rock, and he expects to make
some extensive improvements on It.
The cottage which was on the property
and which belonged to Miss NJ. H.
Pinckney of Lenoir, was burned last
week. This property will probably be
improved at once.
Mr.. Maurice of Southern Pines has
purchased ten acres of land on the
Yonahlosse turnpike and expects to let
a contract for the erection Of a SUM
mer home by next season.
With these improvements and many
others which will be made before the
opening of next season the accom-
nodations at Blowing Rock will be
largely increased, and with the con
tinued Improvement being made on the
roads leading into that famous resort
there is no telling how many thous
ands of persons will make their plans
to visit this town IN 1873.

ELECTION

When the registration books close
at sundown today, the stage will have
| been set for what is generally con-
ceded to be the most Interesting cleo
. tlon held in Catawba county in many
years. The cam algniI1gs yrilt continue
through Monday might, October 8,
and on thu following day the bat tie
OF ballots will start at sunrise and
wage until sunset.
1t goes without saying that both
sides are claiming the victory. There
| never has been time. in politics
where the forces were nearly evenly
divided when a SIMILAR claim was not
| made. 1t is the way of politics. The
Record is not claiming or contending.
Democrats say they have the best
chance in a dozen years and they
have arguments to prove it. Many
Republicans are not interested this
year and when they talk, they simply
say they are letting: .sthem" carry the

On the other hand Republicans say
they will get two Democrats where
they lose one Republican. They say
that's the. other side of the question
and those who approve OF the county
leadership are working hard; the 9th
ers are not working at ali.
Regardless of who wins the election
on November z, 1t is fact that poll
tics, SO far as the speakirgs are con-
cerned, has been raised y bit in
Catawba county. There has been. with
two or three exceptions, an absence
Of Bitterness and misrepresentation
which have not appealed to good men
and women in former years. Chairman
Baghy set tie pace, it may be said,
because he brought the first big CAM
paigners to the county. Chairman
Smith Campbell might have had this
distinction had he introduced the first
outsider to home audience. The Rec
ord is simply stating a fact.
One result OF this policy-and the
exceptions should be duly noted by
those who have heard speeches to-the
contrary--lias been that members Of
both political parties have turned out ,
to learn what the other side had to
offer. That speaks well for the intelli-
