Mr. Kitchin's Head Level.
The Times is in full accord!
with the interview given the
press some days ago by Congressman
Claude Kitchin, of
North Carolina, in opposition to
the proposed enormous appropriations
for enlargements of J
the army and navy. Mr. Kitchin
will be the Democratic floor!
leader of the party in the Sixtyfourth
Congress by virtue of
holding the chairmansnip 01 me
ways and means committee and
his views undoubtedly will influence
legislation to an appreciable
degree. On this subject
his head is level and he refuses
to be swerved from his convictions
by the clamor for a
great army and a greater navy,
coming mostly from the arms
and munitions manufacturers
and the battleship builders of
the North who see and are eager
to improve upon the opportunity
to further enrich themselves at
the expense of the American
people. With a sane man in
tho White* lloimt* who is ant to
remain there until the European
war is concluded, the chances
are remote for this country becoming
involved in the conflict.
When thSi war shall have ended,
the whole of Europe will be
so burdened with debt and overcome
by the frightful losses of
life and the presence of millions
of maimed and inefficient men,
that no living human will ever
again witness such a struggle.
Wherein, therefore, the reason
for the United States preparing
for a war which will never
materialize? Militarism such as
the grafters, jingoes and fanatics
would have for this country has
been the curse of Germany and
is certain in the end to be the
undoing of the empire. The
people of the United States are
peace-loving and want no war
with any country. Mr. Kitchin
interprets their wishes when he
speaks against the proposed
army and navy increases.
Saving Pennies Los ng Dollars.
It is really strange th-> way
some people will scrape and econ
omize to save a penny in some
ways and turn right around and
waste dollars in other wnvs.
They leave wagons and buggies
and all sorts of machinery out in
the weather from one year's end
to another, apparently never giving
a thought to the i'act that
every day of inclement weather
causes a distinct deterioration in
value or usefulness or' the a? tide
or vehicle in question. Take a
walk around town an ! you will
nee wheelbarrows, axes, garden
tools, and many other things out
in the weather^, all corroding
with rust and wearing and wearing
out from neglect. And every
"" '
WHAT? time
you see this, ysu see a man
who is economizing in one way
and throwing money to the birds
in another.
Keep the Town Clean.
Did you see your friend toss a
newspaper down on the street?
T* -'i ll1 . _ il
li, in ltsen, was a ntue ming
and not of any great consequence.
But when everybody,
or a great many bodies, do the
same it litters up public places
and gives the town the appearance
of backwardness and slothfulness
and decay which operates
as a detriment in the minds of
all progressive people, especially
when those people are from a
distance. But instead of throwing
down papers and kicking
other rubbish into the street,
suppose each citizen should make
a practice of keeping the town
clean, and bright, and attractive,
wouldn't it be good for the eye
to see? It's easy to do ?if we
want to do it.
REASON.
By B. C. B.
Without threats, without bluster,
without abuse, without being
swayed by the bellowings of
the Anglo-American subsidized
press, the President has persisted
in practical proof of the
statement he made four months
ago to the effect that a nation
may be too enlightened to resort
to armed warfare.
He has proved it. In every
home in the country today there
is inexpressible relief, that the
clouds of evil portent have been
dispelled.
While the President deserves,
i and will receive, from his own
people the tribute of personal
!i___ 1 *1 i c i ?
ove arm manKiuiness ior ms
( signal service, there is a larger,
grander tribute of gratitude due
I .0 him from all mankind.
; Dealing with a series of incidents
which waiting nations
: might have considered sufficient
! causes of war, he has accomplished
all that a war could
accomplish and has done it
without bloodshed. His service
to all humanity consists in developing
Reason as a weapon
which is superior to brute force.
Where others might have gained
glory in war, he has won the
liner distinction of 'a victory
over war itself.
Germany has honored herself
as a great nation in recognizing,
with the United States, the
power of reason and as one of
the two parties to the negotiations
which have proved the
unnecessity of war.
The United States and Germany
liuve together taken the
most tremendous step toward
peace lastiiur. universal peace
that the woijd has ever known.
Hail, Prince of Peace! We
dofl* our hats to thee.

place best suited in judgment

! of this presbytery.
At 11:30 the business of presbytery
