mail matter of the second claaa.
THURSDAY. APRIL 29. 1920.

The Times has received within the j
last week a number of messages in- <
doming its opposition to the nomination
of Mr. Palmer for the Democratic
nomination for the presidency?which
disproves in a measure the statement
sometimes made that the people of '
this section are not interested in the I
pre-convention discussion of the avail- i
able men for the party nomination. <
No one fears that an unworthy man <
will be named at San Francisco, but <
there is the possibility that a mistake <
will be made in t}ie selection of the 1
candidate. The Times hopes that Mr. <
Palmer will not be the nominee be- 1
cause hiB utterances do not indicate *
that he either understands or is in <
sympathy with the peculiar conditions i
confronting the South and for the fur- I
ther reason that it would be poor (
politics to choose him as the party '
leader. Mr. Palmer's home is in
Pennsylvania. It is almost as inevitable
as judgment day that he could '
not carry Pennsylvania into the Demo- 1
cratic column. In the past it has been
pnnaiHofAH U i
5WVW |IVIIV<V0 Alt vm> 11AVIUllOI
Democratic convention to chooee the :
candidate from a doubtful State with i
the hope of the candidate being able
to awing his home State from the op- i
position. If this consideration has not
lost its force, Mr. Parker is eliminated
from the list of avAilablo candidates.
When the Democratic convention meets 1
in San Francisco the delegates ought <
to make up their mind that wisdom and i
common sense must guide their deliberations
if irreparable mistakes are '
to be avoided.
In a statement issued Sunday night
by the National Woman's party from
headquarters in Washington the claim
is set up that tl# North Carolina
Legislature at its session in July is
certain to ratify the suffrage amendment..
We do not object to the claim,
nor are we especially concerned over
whether the Old North State ratifies
the amendment or not; but why was it
* necessary to send out the statement on
the Sabbath? Politics ought to be adjourned
on the Lord's day and we see
no reason why this cocksure claim
could not have been held until Monday.

a u?mii|{iun umpsi.cn Dears mc information
that a Congress committee
is to begin at once a probe into the
print paper shortage and that "publishers
of leading papers will be invited
to appear before the investigating committee."
Why only "publishara of
leading papers" to the exclusion of
publishers of country papers? If the
Congress committee wishes to learn of
the hardshids that a considerable part
of the press of the country is suffering
in consequence of the serious shortage
of print paper it will not go to the big
dailies to get at the facts, because
most of them are practicing extravagance
in the use of print paper that
. is inexcusable and they can scarcely be
expected to testify against themselves.
But the big dailies are not the only
sinners. The paper mills appear to
have limited the output of print paper
to create the opportunity to profiteer
,, off the preBS, largely the country press.
The big dailies and many other dailies
that assume the extravagance of "big
dailies" have made contracts to run
for months for their paper supply and
are not feeling the effect of the greed
of the paper mills. We expect to see
me oongress investigation result In a
fiasco, just as practically all other investigations
of the Republican Congress
have in recent months. Twelve
to fifteen cents per pound, against the I
pre-war price of two cents per pound,
is the amount the cut-throat paper
mills, aided wholeheartedly and enthusiastically
by most paper jobbers,
is exacting of the country press.

Several years ago there was written
in to-the statutes of South Carolina a
law requiring non-resident trucks
operating on the roads of York county
for business purposes to pay an annual
license tax to the county. This law
baa never imm repealed and it is the
duty of the authorities to see that it is
enforced. Scores of non-resident trucks

bom !North Carolina come into York
eounty ewry weak to dattver merehandioo
from Char lotto and other nearby
cities in that State and it le doubtful
whether one-fifth of these trucks pay
the license required by the law. Laws
are not enacted by the Legislature to
be enforced at the pleasure of the officials
whose duty it is to see that they
are enforced. If non-resident trucks
cannot afford to pay the license they
are subject to for the use of the York
county roads, then they ought not to
be allowed to use the roads.
Mrs far Building Fund.
The Rev. W. R. Bauknight requests
The Times to state that an important
meeting of St. John's Methodist congregation
will be held at 11 o'clock
Sunday morning at which an intensive
effort will be made to secure subscriptions
amounting to $20,000 for the
church building fund. Mr. Bauknight
is greatly encouraged over the interest
that has beeu shown in the proposed
new church edifice and is confident that
the money with which to erect the
building will be subscribed. Subscriptions
amounting to several hundred
dollars have been voluntarily made by
members of the other Fort Mill churches.

There is no problem before the
American public of such great importance
as the one of properly feeding
and nourishing its people, says Miss
Juanita Neely, county home demonstration
agent for York county. We
to not stop to realize that there are
5,000,000 children, or one out of every
four, in the United States suffering
from under nourishment and that
25.000 of them die every year from no
ather cause than poor or deficient food.
It is not so much a case of poverty as
it case of ignorance. The food now
given these 6,000,000 suffering children
coats even more than proper food
would cost.
Milk is the natural food for the
vounsr. since it contain!
necessary for growth. It has great
advantages over many of the foods
which are commonly used. Since it
needs no preparation, the cost of fuel
and labor is saved. There is practically
no loss in rnillc. To the housewife of
today this is important when we conaider
the percentage of waste in the
preparation of fruits, vegetables and
meats for the table. A large percentage
of waste always means increased
cost. The following table
shows the relative value of milk compared
with several foods used ordinarily
in the diet. One quart of milk
is equal in fuel value for the day's
work or play to any one of the following
animal foods: three-fourths pound
lean beef, eight eggs, three pounds
fresh codfish, two pounds chicken,
four-fifths pound pork loin, three-fifths
pound ham, three pints oysters.
Milk is the cheapest, the best, and
the only perfect food that we have.
It contains all the essential elements
for normal human growth and development.
Give your children milk,
a quart a day if possible, a pint without
fail. Plenty of milk for big and little
Will give us the chance for health we

of your children to be as healthy as
knowledge can make them."

Washington, April 25.?Timothy
She*, vice president of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen, warned the
Railroad Labor board yesterday of the
danger ?( delaying wag* increases to
the 2,M|MI railroad workers. Mr. Shea
presented tin demands of the firemen
and hoaUera let a basic living wage of
$6.60 per dap* With differentials for responsibility,
skill, experience and the increase
in the mat of living since the demands
wer* first presented last June.
Mr. Bks t?M the board that the lesson
to be learned from the steel, coal
and rallraad strikes was that "men will
not wortc wWn they cannot live decently
on the wages they are paid." Experts,
he said, estimated a living wage
at $2,296 cammtty. Mr. Shea said that
when he Wged the striking railroad men
in the Haitian terminals to return to
their Jsk$ 4Wr reply was, "We and our
families WdM Aarving at work; we can ~
not knp dfiihildreo in school, and we
decided tn ndgfct just as well starve not
working.*'
