THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
President Harding's message, over
which he must have worked long and
earnestly in a desire to make it ac
ceptable to the various interests in
the Republican congress, was com
prehensive enough. The first matter
of interest to the public is ihis poi
tion on the peace treaty, which he
ome nearer rejecting than he has
n,t any time since he became a presi
'lential figure. r i.
Mr. Harding would not make a
rate mace with Germany if
.
there can be found any way to safe
L'unrd American interests, by modifi
intion and reservations, under the
Versailles pact. This probably me.m3
nrntnnpo of the treaty and the
!.ague eventually, the conditions
uirc-ested beme too hard to over-
ome. The 'allies too must realize
lint there can bo no league to main
lain peace unless it is a fairly just
, ace-
This declaration was not very def
inite, but It was aa definite as his
yosition on reduction of armaments
?.fr. Harding's armament position,
V.owever, is a hint to a war weary
world that the United States is ready
!9 curtail naval building under prop
er assurance.
It will be up to congress to frame
' jgislaticn to aid those men who uf
ered for their country in the world
war. A nation that honors its heroes
annot afford to allow sick and
wounded men to be deprived cf tlie
r tcilities they heed. Mr. Harding
peaks out vigorously for the so1
t'.iers. Under public welfare, the president

for a mixed commission to study the
question and report to congress. The
.states may cry against another in-
asion of their rights," but since few
)f the states really enforce the laws
against lynching, they have no le
gitimate grievance- The barbaric
crime of lynching should bo squelch
ed, even If it takes the armed forces
of the United States to bring offend
ers to justice. Once assured that mob
murderers will be punished, most
people bent on lynching will be slow
about participating in this form of
entertainment.
The president urges the immediate
passage of an emergency tariff mea
sure and the Fordney bill, vetoed by
President Wilson, will be re intro
duced and promptly enacted into
law.
Railroad managements and employ
es are told a truth when they arc
informed that the public which both
nerve lhave interests above theirs.
That is almost strange doctrine these
days, but it is good doctrine. Ihe
public interest comes first in all pub
lic matters. Lower freight and pas
senger rates are forecast at an early
date.
President Harding had many mat
ters to cover in his first message to
congress and the American people,
who have been looking for relief
legislation, will bo hopeful of results.

A resolution was passed requesting

RALEIGH COUNTRY CLUB
IS DESTRRYED BY FIRE
"Raleigh, A.pril 13. Directors of
the Raleigh Country Club last night
had come to no decision about rebuild
ing the club house which wes destroy
ed by fre yesterday. The president
of the board was out of the city and
other directors presumed the struct
ure would be rebuilt but did not know
of any plans in this direction until
there was a meeting- of the board.
The fire was discovered in the room
yesterday and it quickly burned the
club house to the ground. Raleigh
firemen went to the grounds, but
were unable to get a house near
enough to the building to fight the
uames. The building cost about
twenty-five thousand dolars.

Inquiries from several adjacent sec
tions the farm demonstrator reported,
brought forth similar response, all in
dicating that 'practically mo fruit
survived. There may be a few late
apples, of course, he admitted, for
some have not yet put out. But tak
ing the appl? crop by and large, as
well as peaches, hope for any appre

of the question.
Coming as it does upon the heels,
almost of the great western North
Carolina apple show in which a great
wave of enthusiasm' for increased fruit
production was started, the stroke of
misfortune falls with almost double
force in the land cf the sky.
