It Is «>xce«*dlnKly smtlfylnK to note the very/ Kreat sureess attend- log the second Red Cross campaign ’ In this county. The people every where have met the appeal for aid to this itreat cause with open hands aad have contributed freely of their means, vJThls is ^catifylni? in the - extreme, and will redound - to the credit of thlp county In ,years to come. But. who would resist the appeal of the Red Cross? Suffer in' humanity always touches a true American and there is nothin'; which any rood citizen would not do 'to alleviate suffering anywhere and at any time. Prlof to ttUs war had the great drawing together of the peoples of the world thereby, it was not felt keenly* that the suffer- ing many thousands of miles away was any special concern of ours, but now with all distance eliminated and the great mercy heart of the world throbbing in unison;* It seems that we ere'more nearly "our broth* er’s keeper” than at any time in the history of the world. An especially noteworthy feature of this campaign was the ready re sponse made by the negro race. They have felt the appeal in -a pe culiar manner and they have re sponded readily and willingly. Their race is furnishing many of the sol diers in our army, and they must contribute to the' support and alle viation of their sufferings. The race will grow as they aid. Our white race will also grow as thev aid. ’ . The Press and Standard congratu lates the people of the county - on their liberal response to this great appeal. We congratulate also those who have had the work of planning this campaign and of carrying the messages to the people. They de serve commendation for their in terest and hearty co-operation.

From ^reports which have been received by the State Council of Defense, the . need for local authority to hold persons ac cused of disloyalty in the present national crisis, Is felt and may aris? at any time.* Oftentimes It may ho impossible for one to report dis loyalty* in speech or In action, to higher authorities in time for ac tion to be taken immediately, since Investigations must necessarily fol low; and It Is believed that the pro posed ordinance will serve to pro vide a necessary link—thij is. au thority under which municipal au thorities may apprehend persons ac^ cused of disloyalty and hold them, when necessary, while federal au thorities are making their investi gations. -■ The purpose of the ordinance is stated to be to prevent breach of the pea^e. and, as suggested foe adopting.

Very few people have ever stop ped to consider why real estate _(s regarded as the best security on earth- H. H. Woodward, of Con way, has given a ver$ convincing idea on the subfeet. and it is so brief and clear that the war savings com mittee deems it worthy of wide publication: "Real estate has been regarded as the best security a man can hav& Why is real estate safe? Only be- cause the government is safe! If the governiUent fails the title to land fails, and the real estate mort gage goes with it. All legal docu ments arc effective only because the government stands behind them.
