iS^sr^ra^i^^ss:'
President Wilson is now in the
Middle West talking "preparedness"
with the people—telling the people
abont their government and country
and some things he wants to have
done. The people are hearing him
and are not turning a deaf ear to his
proposals, lie is not talkiog for
war—he is for pease, but urging
preparation for any eventuality.
In Milwaukee Monday he spoke to
9,000 people and pledged them he
would keep this country out of war
if possible. Ho said: "We should
see that our house is set in order.
When all the world is on fire the
sparks fly everywhere."
Here is what the New York Bun,
as deeply dyed Republican paper as
the most blatant partisan could de
sire, says: "Beside the great issue
Mr. Wilson has raised and for which
he is courageously battling now,
his fortunes and the fortunee of
his party are of but microscopic
dimensions. Mr. Wilson typifies
the vast cizenship before which
he Isys the esse of this county.
He is an advocate of honorable
peace; he is not one of those who
'see red when all the world seems to
run with blood,' and therefore his
words will have a greater weight
with reasonable men. And who, be
lieving that Americans ore worthy
of thsir heritage, can believe that
his solemn and. sober warning and
plea will fall on deaf ears ?"
These are patriotic sentiments.
The work tbst Mr. Wilson is doing
is patriotic.
As indicating how strictly neu
tral Mr. Wilson has been through it
all, The New York Tribune is found
complaining that the Qerman Am
bassador administers the State De
partment, and on the other hand
The Fatherland, another New York
paper of strong Qerman flavor,
Avows that the same State Depart
ment is administered by the British
Ambassador.*
These things being true, there is
no reason why any patriotic Ameri
can ahould not stand by Mr. Wil
son.
That was a tragic close of the
life of Capt. *T. P. Sale, State
• Prison Warden,-at Raleigh last
Friday. He had applied the
electric current that ended the
- life of two men sentenced to die.
Twenty minutes later he himself
was dead. It is believed the
r shook waa too much „ for his
nervous system whioh lately had
ahown signs of weakening.
Senator Tillman Defends
Secretary Daniels.
Secretary Daniels was praised
as "one of the greatest secretaries
(he nary has ever had," and form
er Secretary Meyer waa assailed
by Chairman Tillman, of the
Senate naval oommlttee, in a
speech on "the truth about the
navy." Senator Tillman took Mr.
Meyer to taak for his recent decla
ration before the National Se
curity League that the funda
mental defect of the navy depart
ment is that it has no brain and
bo oompetent military organisa
tion."
r "Mr. Meyer forgets," said Sena
tor Tillman, "if be ever knew that
when be left the navy it was near
ly 6,000 men short, that 46 per
cent, of the men discharged In
good standing were leaving the
navy, while 85 per cent, are now
k* re-enlisting; and that during his
inonmbency there were 10,860 de
sertions. Vet he has thqjDheek
to hold hia successor responsible
for conditions which are due
wholly to his own shortcomings.
As against 10,360 desertions while
Mr. Meyer was secretary, so far—
about two and a half years—there
- have been only 4,375 since his
sucoessor entered office.
"The head of the navy himself
L ia not a pampered and petted
* darling'of inherited wealth, but a
r red-blooded, upstanding, forward
| looking American, who is a grad
uate in the hard school of experi
|- ence and. a practical man with
wholesome ideas."
Senator Tillman praised other
offleers of the navy who he said
5 were "not known at all in the
drawing rooms in Washington or

A Nine Million Increase.
The farmers of North Carolina
on January 1, 1016, were nearly
nine million dollar* richer in
horses, mules, milk cows and
twine than in 1910 when the cen
sus was taken. They had 16,000
more horses, 25,000 more mules,
11,000 more Milk oows, and 374,-
000 more swine.
Our rates of increase duririg
this Ave year period were 9.6 per
cent In horses or nearly two and a
half times the rate of the country
at large; moles 14 per cent or
nearly 3 times the general rate;
aud swine a 30 per cent increase
against a 3.6 per cent increase in
the United States.
Our increase in milk cows is not
up to the mark; 8.6 per cent
against 5.6 in the country at large.
Also we had 4,000 fewer cattle of
other sorts, and 45,000 fewer
sheep.
But all told, here Is a most won
derful increase in livestock in five
years I It keeps pace with our in
crease in crop production as noted
in the University News Letter,
January 12th. •,
Barring only sheep, milk oows,
and other cattle the increases
show well against the Increases
during the census period. We are
improving the breed of our dairy
and beef animals, but the Fed
eral Livestock Report of January
18 indicates that we are falling to
gain in numbers as fast as we
ought to do.
New York Calls Him

the department of economics in
the University of North Carolina,
and rural investigator tor the
United Slates Department TT Agri

tion to confer in framing a new
taxation system for New York.
Dr. Kapdfr Is ranked as one of
the taxation experts of ihe coun

transportation, lje has stifled
the system of taxation abroad and

Human Efficiency to
Reduce Death Rate
That we must look to improv
log personal hygiene, that is, out
every-day habits of living, as i
means of further reducing thi
death rate is now the opinion o!
many forward locking health ex
perts. Especially is this consider
ed necessary in targe cities and
towns where pore water, clean
food and sanitary conditions ol
streets, alleys And lots are nr
longer such pertinent public
health factors to be warred aKainst
Where these are yielding or hav«
already yielded their returns in
lower death rates and better liv
ing conditions, the individual ii
regarded as the next source to b«
looked to for better health and a
lower mortality.
Dr. W. A. Evans, of Chicago,
believes that the next forward
step in publid health work that
will count most in reducing the
death rate will be to increase hu
man efficiency. He believes that
strong bodies and strong minde
brought about by improving per
sonal habits and customs through
better knowledge of health and
hygiene and throngh an increased
appreciation of good health and
long life, must from now be the
aim of city sanitarians and public
health workers in general. He
advocates to this end the use of
daily and weekly newspapers and
the public schools as means of
educating all the people in mat
ters of personal hygiene and those
measures making for increased
efficiency both in mind and body.
In other words, he believes that
the greatest work and task of
public health workers today is to
teach people how to live healthful
and efficient lives.
Southern Railway Will Build Steel
Car Repair Shop* at Knoxville.
So rapid bas been the increase
in the use of steel cars on the lines
of the Southern Railway that it
his been found necessary to pro
vide a special shop for repairs to
equipment of this class to be lo
cated at the Coster shops near
Knoxville.
The new facility will conftist of
an all steel main shed 73 ft. by
480 ft. with three tracks extend
ing through same, and a work
shop 81 ft. by 100 ft., both equip
ped with overhead. power cranes
and full complement of machinery
and tools for repairing steel cars.
During the past ten years the
Southern Railway has purchased
23,000 all steel and steel under
frame cars and the new shop will
provide better facilities for keep
ing them in repair than could be
had in the old shops which were
originally built for nandling only
wooden cars.
The contract for the construc
tion of the steel frame for the
main shed has been let to the
Virginia Bridge and Iron Co., and
the material,will be fabricated at
the Memphis plant. Construction
will begin before April Ist and
will be completed within six weeks
from that date.
Otfier additions to be made to
the facilities at Coster shop will
include a scrap dock with reclaim
ing shop for handling and re
claiming future accumulations ot
scrap resulting from repairs to
cars and an additional wash and
locter room for of em
ployees. Tho erection of these
buildings will necessitate a Revis
ion of the track layout at the north
end of the yard.
With the exception of the steel
frame for the steel car repair shed
all construction will be done by
Company forces.

Big Bad mm.
In the United States the invest
ment capital for the public schools
for 1912-'l3 amounted to over 12,-
000,000,000. Of this total $293,-
093,879, was found in permanent
school funds; the Vftliie of unsold
school lands was estimated at
$206,132,679; public property used
for school purposes was valued at
•1,347,066,909. Read these figures
aloud and note the sound of tbe
amounts. Sorely public sohool
work is a big business.
Details.
There is a wide variation in the
amount of this investment capital
in the various States. Minnesota
leads them all with over $240,-
000,000 credited to this item. Five
States, Minnesota, New York, Illi
nois, Pennsylvania, Washington
report over 1100,000,000 for this
item. A little State like Rhode
Island reports over $9,000,000 and
even Arizona with the smallest
amount reports over $2,500,000
worth of investment capital in
her school business. North Caro
lina ranks 39th in this respect
with a reported $9,099,823 as her
share of the $2,000,000,000 na
tional investment capital in putt
he schools.
Cossparisoas.
Only two of the eight States
with a per capita- country wealth
of $2,000 or ovefr report a total
investment capital of $60,000,000
or more—lllinois and California
While the per capita country j
wealth in New Jersey is only $531, ]
she nevertheless has an invest- i
ment capital in tbe school busi
neaa of nearly $60,000,000.
South Dakota ranks third in
her per capita counwy wealth
(nearly $3,000) and ranks 28th in 1
the amount of her investment J
capital, wtyh a little over sl4,- ,
000,000. 1
The country folks of North
Carolina have on the average $322 j
each for the year but'the State aa 1
a whole has investment capital in
the school bnaineab to the amount J
of over $9,000,000.

Republican Leader
Defends President Against
Democratic Criticism.
Republican Leader Mann came to
the defense of President Wilson in
the House of Congress Friday when •
Representative Dies of Texas, lead
er of the anti-preparedness Demo
crats attacked the President's New
York speech on National Prepfu-ed- ■
ness.
Mr. Mann rebuked Mr. Dies for
making any remarks about the Pre*-,
ident's views before the latter had*
completed his speaking tour and
declared that his only defense for
changing his position, on prepared
ness was that he believed he was
right.
"With the possibility of danger
which prevails," Mr. Mann declared
"we will meet the situation, we will
rise to our responsibilities and put
this nation in a position where it
can protect itself against any for
eign foe."
Tempestuous applaus broke from
all sides of the chamber.
"Great nations are arrayed against
one another in Europe today ana
there are no prospects of peace,
continued the Republican leader.
"When this war N broke out I took
occasion to say that it was odr du
ty to remember that we wre stand
ing for the American people and
under all circumstances to remain
strictly neutral.
* "I do not k:»,Wi whether I have '
changed my mind since a year ago,
but I would not be ashamed to.
But I do know that the situa
tion has been changed. Events have
so modified the facts that one may
think as he did before but realize
the truth. The trouble withmapy
lingerers in the past has been that
they do not realize an event until
it has become ancient history."
„"I do »ot believe in a great ,
great standing army nor the per
manent necessity of a great navy,
but I do believe that a great
country like ours that refuses to
consider a situation today be
cause of its beliefs in the past,
hasn't the real right to remain at .
peace and will not be able to do so.
"We have a great duty to per
form. We must determine what we
shall do, for we are in a position
where a decision must be made.
We must determine if we shall do
nothing on the chance that Provi
dence will protect us, or there is
no danger, or that there is danger,
and if ed we must prepare to pro
tect ourselves.
"The President ought to know
more about this situation than any
member of the House. And now,
that he Is going about thfc country
statehiscase.it would be) more be
coming to members of his own par
ty to awaife his statement, at least,
before attacking him,
- Glass Deceives Birds.
It has been frequently noticed
that no wild bird can understand
that the properties of glass, and
great numbers ranging in size from
a pheasant to a tit-mouse, are
killed by flying against the win
dows of country houses.
If a room possesses a large mir
ror, reflecting the view seen thru
an open Window: birds are particu
larly liable to be deceived and es
pecially if frightened into think
ng that they can; fly thru it.
Hawks will sometimes chase
their intended victim* into strange
places. Some years ago a member
of this species pursued a small bird
thru the open window of a railway
carriage in motion. In its blind
blind determination to secure the
panting fugitive it entangled its
claws in the meshes of the ha track,
and was ignominiously) slain by an
astonished passenger witlf an Ugfr

Mr. Brandeis Appointed
For Supreme Court Judge.
Louis D. Brandies of Boston Was
nominated by President Wilson Fri
day for a place on the Supreme
Court bench made vacant by the
death of Associate Justice Lamar.
The Senate received the nomina
tion with, unconcealed surprise—in
which all official .Washington Join
ed, because Mr. Brandeis had not
been mentioned among the long list
of eligibles which President Wil
son considered, or among an equal
ly long list of aspirants who had
presented endorsements.
Mr. Brandeis is' 60 years old. He
was born and educated in Louis
ville, Ky., and later at Harvard
University, an J in 1878 began prac
ticing law in Boston. Following
the Pinchot-Ballinger controversy
he was counsel for the shippers
who opposed the general increase
in freight rates before, the Inter-
State Commerce Commission, and
during the sama period he was at
the forefront of those who werq
demanding an of the
financial affairs of the "New Haven
railroad.
Among his participations in other
public affairs were his appearance
/s counsel for those who fought
for-the validity of workingmen s
hours of labor law in Oregon, Illi
noise and Ohio. He was in 1910
chairman of the board of arbitra
tion which settled the New
York garment maker's strike. He
has written largely and is regard
ed as art authority on public fran
chises, life insurance, wage-earners
insurance, scientific management of
labor problems and the trust ques
tion.
At the begihning of President
Wilson's administration. Mr. Bran

SANITARY PREPAREDNESS.
\ •
Dr. Rupert Blue Advocates Healthy
Citizenship.
* •
t>r. Rupert Blue, a former North
Carolinian, now Surgeon General of
the V. 8. Public Health Service, at
Washington, D. C„ believes in- upre
paredness', not exclusively in that
preparedness that calls for larger
armament and for a larger arma
ment and for a larger body of
trained fighting men both on iana
and sea, but in a strong Jtealthy
citizenship. He deems it of far
greater importance to maintain a
nation of strong physically fit citi
izens to follow ihe pursuits of peace
than a trained citizenship to ans
wer th« call to arms. He says that
an able-bodied vigorous society,
clothed in tbe armor of hygienic
knowledge and fortified by ade
quate sanitary defenses, is equally
able to withstand the shock of arms
and the continued strains of tbe
occupations of peace.
Dr. Blue's program for .sanjtary
preparedness calls first for the ne
cessity of teaching the individual
the value of a sound body. He
must be made) to believe that the
body of a, man is a personal and
• national asset. Probably upon
the plastic mind of the school child
is the best mean* of impressing the
simple truths of health and person-*
al hygiene. Then sanitary living
must be made' a habit among the
people, and individual improvement
must be constantly impressed upon
the public mind. Last, Dr. Blue
advises a faithful support on the
part of all Individuals to theßtate
and County Boards of Health and
all features of public health work.
