Never before has the Red Cross been given the opportunity for such great service as that which is being furnished by the European war. Even in times of peace it is called upon for ald and relief, so that there is usually something to keep it active in one di- rection or another, but especially 1s it organized for service on the battlefield for the relief and care of the wound- ed. It engaged in a cause for which every civilized nation cannot fail to subscribe and the help which this country can render through f{ts funds and the sending of surgeons, nurses and hospital supplies that the suffering may be minimized 1s bound to be needed. Conditions in Europe speak for themselves as to the need of such services. While foreign countries arc necessarily giving attention to such requirements there is a part which this country, through individuals and their contritutions, can play in ren- dering assistance to the suffering hu- manity. The Red Cross as an organ- ization is such that full dependamec can be placed upon the proper use:.of assistance offered through suci®a <hannel, and no matter who are in- volved or what may have been \tie causes leading up to the conflict, the very fact that suffering exists is suf- ficient to call out its forces. It is an object which calls for a liberal con- tribution and one in which all can Justifiably participate. ILLEGAL SIGNS. It is fmpossible to make a trip into the country without being impressed by the large mumber of signs placed upon trees, buildings and rocks alon# the roadsides, to the defacement of property and the destruction of the natural beauty. There is a certaln number of these which are placed by permission of the property owners. and though they serve to detract from the beautles of the countryside, they are nevertheless legally placed. With many others however such is not the case, for the plaeing of such signs without the privilege being ob- tained is against the law of the state. Section 1245 of the gemeral statutes provides that every person who shall affix to any tree, rock Or structure, within the limits of a public highway: any paper or advertisement, ot_hgr than notices posted in pursuance 8f law; or who shall affix to the erty of others without his consent, § word, letter, character or device, - tended to advertise the sale of article, shall be fined not more than one hundred dollars, or be imprisoned not more than six months or both, Attentlon is being directed to this law by the National Highway Pro- tective society, which is also engaged in removing such illegal signs, and enlisting others including property owners in their cause for the im- provement of the appearance of coun- try highways. It is showing en in- terest in the farmer for his protec- tion and its efforts are possible of ex- cellent results in a good cause. THE COST OF WAR, The terrors of war are not all to be found upon the battlefields, any more than are all of the sacrifices. The countries which have mobilized all their availablc men for aggressive action and left the homes in the care of the boys and old men have only begun to experience the terrific sace rifices which they have been indirectly called upon to make. The cost of war, as figured in dollars and cents reaches to stupendous amounts, but it is those losses which cannot be turned into figures and the attendant hardships which go therewith, which must be inciuded in the full reckon- ing of the meaning of war. With millions of men gathered for the defense of country, and uphold- ing of neutrality only the corners of Eurcpe are thus far spared from ‘Sharing in the demoralizing effect. e , AUGUST 25, 1914 of reason in the past for abolishing ‘war for the preferable method of set. tling all such questions, through fair and peaceful consideration thereof, instead of through force and suffer- COMPULSORY EDUCATION, No state which stops to glve the matter serious consideration can, in justice to itsel and its future, oppose legislation which looks to the educa- tion of its children. The necessity of compulsory education was long ago recognized by the states which gave the proper thought to the coming gen- erations and realized the tendemcy unless such provislon was made. As usual some were more forward than others and have been enjoying the frults of the action for many years. North Carolina has but just ex- Perienced its first year of compulsory education and so well impressed has it been by the results that it regrets that the step was not taken long ago. Fully forty thousand more chil- dren were registered in the schools the past year than ever before and when it is realized what that means that state has reason to be proud of its_action. Fach and every child should Te- ceive a common school education, whether they happen to be In a southern or northern state, but ex- perience shows that such Is not possi- ble_avithout the proper law and its enforcement. Such laws vary in dif- ferent states, and that in North Car- olina applies only between the ages g1 elght and twelve but it marks the eginning of an improved educational system in that state and reduces to a haif dozen the states which have not been convinced of the necessity of re- quiring education and the stamping out of illiterac INEFFECTIVE HUNGER STRIKE Failure is the explanation which has been written after the much heralded hunger strike staged by Miss Bdelson in New York. It was what was expected and what was de- sired to place a damper upon such practices. It is not to be supposed that others will not seek to get no- toriety by such a plan, but the meth- ods which were adopted to break up the sensational undertaking and which brought such good results. lend no encouragement for future prisoners. It was the hope of Miss Edelson ‘who chose a jail term to the givine of a bond to keep the peace following unlawful activities, that as the resu't of her effort she could snap her finwers at the authorities and laugh at their power when she had to be released. She relied upon the publicity, which she expected from her move against justice, to arouse sufficient sentiment to gain not only her freedom, but to materially ald her I W, W. agitations. She reckoned without her host. Clev- erer minds quickly showed the futllity of such a course. She was deprived of the press agent stories upon which great dependence was placed and the sacrifice without such compensation was worthless. She was outmaneu- vered. ' The result is that the bond to keep the peace has been given and if Miss Edelson profits by her experience she will make up her mind to follow the stralght and narrow course of law and order. If for no other reason than to accomplish its failure, it is well that the hunger strike has been tried. Her experiment is one which others of her type can well take to heart. EDITORIAL NOTES. The wars this vear are giving stim- ulation to the study of geography and forelen cities. Unsettled will at least cover con- ditions in the eastern hemisphere for some time to come. Now that the retreat from Arma- geddon is in full swing, the question is where the next stand will be made. It is going to be easler to join the Buropean turmoil, than to maintain neutrality, but the latter must be done. ‘What general fs golng to get the fame of General Sherman from his laconie description of the European catastrophe?

Observers of the New York situa- tion can now realize that Hinman was the real victim of bossism. He es- caped from the Roosevelt leash and for his independence he must suffer. Can there be any connection be- tween the expected great shock from the German invasion of Belgium, and the fact that some of them have al- ready reached the beaches at Ostend?

The use of barbed wire is being discontinued to a great extent. The plain wire is said to answer all the purposes without the injury to ihe stock which always results from the use_of the barb. The forest officers of Washington and Oregon are plan- ning to make this change in their vwn fences and the public _drift fences. They say barbed wire has no advan- tage over smooth wire; that it injures stock, and that it is more likely to be borne down by soft smow.

One hundred years ago Monday, the “President’s palace” at Wash- ington was gutted by fire, and from this event it became universally known as the “White House,” It was at the time of the War of 1812. In the flickering light of burning Washington the scarlet-coated @g- ures of the incendarles, the soldiers of the British King, were to be s rioting in the streets of the city they had captured after President Madison and his cabinet and most of the citizens had fled at their ap- groach. In the general flight, Doily Madison, the president’'s wife, lin- gered long enough to cut George Washington's portrait from its frame and carry it off to safety. It is reiated that the president's din- ner was still steaming on the table when the British burst into the “palace,” as it was then called. In the light cast by the burning Capi- tol, the Treasury Building, the Ar- senal and 8,000 volumes contained in the Congressional Library, the troopers rushed to the ‘“palace.” Some seized flaming brands from a burning saloon and thrust them into the draperies of the president's house. Mirrors, furniture ahd bric- a-brac smashed, while the flames burned until they had gutted the interior and scorched the exterior. ‘When the “palace” was repaired the fire-marks were obliterated dn the outside with white paint. This, it 1s said, is the way in which the building "became known as thé “White House.” and Outspoken Declarations. General Joftre, commander. of the French forces. issued the following | proclamation at Muelhausen: “After 44 vears of sorrowful waiting French soldiers once more tread the sofl of your noble country. They are planeers in a great work of revenge. For them what emation it eal's forth and what pride to complete the work which they have made at the sacrifice of their lives.” War motives seem to be getting slightly confused in the stress of the actual campaign. The “great work of revenge,” it is safe to assert, would not be allowed to show itself in any te-beilum declarations or diplomatic skirmishes. The great work of war is revenge, however. as a general thing so perhaps General Joffre is at once more honest and less dissimulating than his superiors—Ottawa Citizen. Unjustifiable Greed.
