Mothers of heroes who had made rthe supreme sacrifice, fathers of j heroes and relatives gathered in | their specially reserved places to j hear the tribute that was paid by j speakers and by the sweet spirit of the occasion.

I Needed Legislation. * In telling of the legislation that is j L needed to make things more nearly ! right in the present industrial and | economic crisis, Governor Bickett j said: "Prmo-rocs nwps it to the Ameri-1 P i can soldier to at once enact a' law 1 that will absolutely guarantee to "the people the constant and efficient operation of all public utilities en- ; gaged in interstate commerce. "Of course, any such law would provide a tribuna lof the people to j hear grievances and in case of dis-! putes to fix wages, but ail men en- j gaged in operating such utilities, whether employers or employees,! must be made to understand that j ?v? otr oro tVio cprvants of t.hp ttpnnlp. i W.V X- --C--7 1 that, they must trust the peo$e to j deal fairly with them and that they W cannot come before the tribunal of the people with a plea for justice in one hand and a six-shooter in the Wf other." m A aj.? :_4. 1?4.^ 4-u? r Alter 1119 lliuuuuutiua tu bxic auuience Governor Bickett began his address in that eloquent fashion that has won for him the notice and admiration of the entire country. Telling of his appreciation of the opporQHptunity to honor a cause so glorious, the governor painted a beautiful pic ture of the way in which America WM entered the war, and?combatting the doubt of general opinion and public scoffers?sent an army to France that turned the tide of war, j humbling a foe that "was drunk with | H victory and pride, fed up on the con- i I ceit that he was an invincible xrcjr-1 rior and the idea that he belonged j to a super race, who, in a-frenzy of i fanaticism, swept his legions forward like the billows of a stormm lashed sea." I America's War Preparation. The pronounced doubt of Amermm ica's ability to do anything substanW tial in the war in so short a pre V paratory period, ner consequent; buckling down to the task and the J I final colossal assistance rendered both in money, equipment and men, I were graphically described by the I orator. He outlined Germany's open, sneering contempt of America's | prospects and told of the lack of hope I that her international friends and ^^^^allies entertained. Along this line North Carolina's ^^Vjrcvernor said: ''Our own folks did not believe I Oper ' A m n |c 8SS5i5C-i>iSi.<i; jr-j v; -.icOi. :.. ^x's-x ""' > ' s SCENE FROM "THE SHEPHERD FRIDAY, NO that we could, make a substantij contribution to the military force in France by midsummer.
