C'harlottfi newspapers seem to b in the midst of an argument wherm lies responsibility for (leneral Dick man's attitude toward Camp Greene. Of course, we are in the dark, no knowing what Genera) Dickman'o attitude is, and it's none of our busi ness, anyway. Hut an unusual par graph in the Observer strikes The News as characterizing the newspaper '"fuss" over Camp Greene as something other than the walfare of ttie nation. The Observer says that General Dickman offered "if it meant anything to the Oli > : v;'.to issue an order <um>r<'?siiiK inn circulation at uv camp of the Observer's afternoon contemporary, and furthermore, t< refuse to Kive out any news to it NoLody 'lames the Observer for re fusing that oner;* it would indue 1 have appeared very small had it ac copted such a propoBl^'aij. from th< comnranding,officer ^ up, Just what Generals ^ havj ? TlJ a patriot. He lias Helped but lias not done all that he eouid do. lie lias "done his bit" but has not done his best. What another man does should guide 110 one in this campaign. If one man liirks, that is not excuse for the shirking of another, neither should one hold back because he cannot buy as many bonds as his neighbor. The one question to be answered by every individual must he answered by that individual alone. The bonds must tie bought and I .a lie st or eountv must Miy its part There must be no let-up until the apportionment is met, and to meet it every man must buy to his limit. ? JOE IS GOING, TOO.

Mr. Daniels says on his cal endar in Washington there is but on* engagement, "the day I shall marcl behind the marine band with Gen eral Pershing's soldiers into Berlin." The secretary was addressing wai workers in Philadelphia and continued: "I don't know the exact date, but it is coming as sure as there is a God in Heaven." Mr. Daniels was criticized when he was first made a member of iho cabinet as no other member lias over been criticized, but the elli. ieney < ' the American navy at the present shows there was less ground for that criticism than even those who criticized him believed, lie was called everything front a one-horse editor up; one paper rid'euled ih idea of "taking an editor of a onehorse paper in a cross-roads town and making hint secretary of the navy.' !?;?{ Jot Daniels paid no attention and set about to improve j tilings, and to do tilings, and lie has done them. To Joe Daniels, we suppose. is due the credit that no more good ehumpaignc is wasted in elms telling ships. They use grape juice now That really doesn't matter much in these arid times, hut that's not all Joe lias done. lie has put practically two million American soldiers across the water with tliej loss oi about two hundred, or one man out of each ten thousand.

I would hard oyer a club with whi the Observer might beat the otl pnper Into unconsciousness. We take it that the present r is aftermath of that which occurt n whilo ncn nvor thn minutitm j ''snobbishness" in the army, which General IMcktnan was preci I tated, or precipitated himself, as t i case may be, but we do not kin what has hit Camp Greene, any mc than we know who hit Hilly I'att son. < > STOP TKK (WIW.

Caff's Optimism. With prospects for an early vo .a th? mnatP on the federal <u" .a| amendinept. suffragists will bp intf sicd in what Mrs C'att, president the national association, has to s, upon the subject. Wo quote fro the Woman Citizen: All reports from Washington in< eate that there is every possibil that when the minute important w measures are out of the way t federal amendment will he cal'ed in the senate for action. Sufi'ra leaders are so confident of the rest that they are preparing plans launch ratification campaigns in of the States whose legislatures nn . | next year. "The outstanding feature of i I own optimism," says Mrs. Car Chapman ("alt. president of the j tional Unerican Woman's Suffra association, "in the aggressive p; I'rosident Wilson has taken in his fort to convince certain senati t ! that it is to the country's best I forests that the amendment | speedily-submitted to the States.

Sept. 26.?Two ap ,s peals from federal court decisions > ">' nullifying in part the Reed amendm. ment prohibiting interstate shipment al_, of intoxicating liquors into d?-y ! states for beverage purposes were filed yesterday in the supreme court <-'1 by the government. Because of the re-, importance of the act in enforcing in prohibition, the court was asked to j 'expedite consideration of tlie cases. ' In one case, the lower court held that the act does not prohibit trnjnsrt portatlon of liquor through a dry rs state In the other proceedings, ap, k pealed f.om West Virginia, the court )t held that while the liquor was "transported into a dry state, from another state, i; was not transported 'n in interstate commerce because ina tended for personal use and not for * ,,t purposes of trade." j In asking that the reversal of the f J | decision affecting shipments of liquor through a dry state, the gov-! 1 eminent, in its brief, declared that i ie "whenever liquor is being transport-] ,(| ?'d in interstate commerce and not fori i\no i\f ovi-nntoil nttrnnuna *lfVl D- * * ' * crosses the line of a dry state into; 1 that state, the Reed amendment has been violated, whether such liquor w bo intended for consumption or sale, v or only for further transportation or for any other purposes." Relative to the West Virginia, case, the government contends that "the Reed amendment is an absolute! " prohibition against the movement, in interstate commerce, of intoxicating! \ O liquors except for scientific, sacrat *1 mental, medicinal or mechanical pur-j ' pesos," from a "wet" state to a' pp "dry" state, ami as such supersedes so-called "quart-a-month" laws of u!
