I HOLTON PROSPERS UNDER WILSON VI !!J'"VI T-'.r:U - I Mr. Holton is proud of his Income. He scattered cir culars 'all over town yesterday In which he told the peo ple that he was paying tax this year on an Income of 95,700. .We. congratulate him. Prosperity indeed has 'come bis way. But it would seem to be a comparative ly new thing for him. Referring to the tax lints last Bight, we found that even as late as 1914 Mr. Holton was ot paying income tax on a dollar. And the record shows that Mr. Holton has paid Income tax on the following amounts in' the following years: , ' 1914 ... . $0,000 im ... ,.$1,T6Q i 19K .. . .$5,700 , A hi Jump this. But no more than we expected. The great wave of Democratic prosperity which has been weeping the country has known no limits., Like the l generous rain from heaven. It has poured out Its boun ties into the laps of the just and the unjust, If Mr, Hol ton has not lost all sense of gratitude, he, too, should Join in the chorus and thank God for Wood row Wilson. jpns , , MR. McKAUGHAN'S EFFICIENCY No better evidence of the efficiency of the Clerk of the Superior Court can possibly be given than the testimony of attorneys. For attorneys come In daily contact with this official. There Is hardly a day that they do not have business to transact in the Clerk's office. They are, there fore, In better position than anybody else to know whoth r or not the man who occupies the office of Clerk is competent and efficient. . For the best possible evidence of the efficiency of Clerk C. M. McKaughan of Forsyth county we refer our readers to the statements of leading attorneys of this city, published elsewhere In The Journal today. Do the people of Forsyth want to turn a man out of ornce who I rendering such splendid service? That Is the question Ihey must answer next Tuesday. When they vote they fchould remember that the Clerk's office Is an important ne and for a man to fill It acceptably he must have .bllity and experience. : Vi I IT WOULD BE ODD IF A Western contemporary remarks: "It surely does look odd to have Col. Roosevelt bel lowing for Hughes in Denver and Victor Murdock shout Ids' for Wilson In Wichita, almost next door. Col. Roose- - velt was the Ideal of dyed-ln-the-wool Progressivlsm. He : was the inventor of the ism. He was It, Mr. Murdock ;. was a faithful follower, a Roosevelt ldolator. He i national chairman of the Progressive party organization s He was the Progressive leader and spokesman In the last 1 Congress." Indeed, this would be odd, if it were not for ono fact. That fact is this: Colonel Roosevelt does not bellow for Hughes, either In Denver or anywhere else. He is supposed to be; cam t paignlng for Hughes, Sometimes he bethinks him to mention the name of Hughes and sometimes he forgets ' that there It any such man. But when he does mention that name be does anything but bellow It In fact, when he manages to articulate "Hughes" Is about the only time that ha does not bellow. He bellows only when he speaks of "My Record." LET THE RECORD SPEAK We referred yesterday morning to the splendid county government the people of Forsyth are enjoying under a Democratic administration. As proof we propose here briefly to submit the record. The principal features vl that record have been best presented by Mr. George W. Maslln, Democratic candidate for member of the Board of County Commissioners, in the speeches he has been making throughout the county. In these speeches Mr. Maslln has shown a remarkable familiarity : with . and grasp on county affairs, which demonstrate conclusively that no man In the county Is better fitted than he for the chairmanship of the Board of County Commissioners Here is the record as presented by Mr. Maslln: When the Democrats came In they found a floating debt of $135,000, of which $15,000 was a note to a privat? individual that had been carried for years at six per cent Interest. The Democrats asked the Legislature to let them fund the rest of the debt at five per cent. Instead oi six, which the county had been paying, and provide i sinking fund to retire the bonds in periods of five years. Since this was done, in addition to paying off the $15, 000 note referred to, they have paid off $19,000 of the courthouse bonds, which represents the first payment on the courthouse, notwithstanding It was built some 25 j ears ago. Thus it is seen that the Democrats have paid $34,000 of the county debt, but in spite of that they are today conducting the county's business on a tax rate of only $1.00, whereas the tax rate in the United States from $1.00 to $6 00, Forsyth's being the minimum. " The assessed value of the property in the county is approximately $32,000,000 and the amount of taxes col k-cted by the Sheriff Is between $350,000 -and $360,000 In other words, this county Is a big estate belonging to the people yielding art Income of upwards of $360,000 Certainly the people do not want any but an experiences end efficient man to administer such an estate. ' What are we getting for our $1.09 tax rate? In, the first place, it Is worthy of note that despite the low rate the county has not had to borrow a dollar. But nbtwlth standing that, we are' building good rpads all over : the county. Moreover, there are In dally attendance In the public schools of Forsyth today 4,000 more children than there were 12 years ago. And our school system has bee o Improved under Democratic rule that today practically every township has a high school, from which boys and gins can graduate ana go to college just the same as from the Winston-Salem high school. One of the things that made this progress possible wan the economical and efficient administration of the count offices. During the last four years Register of Deeds Lents has turned Into the county treasury more than (15,000 over and above the running expenses of his of flee; in the one year that Mr. McKaughan has held the Clerk's office he has saved the county about $2,000; and Sheriff Flynt, who has worked "under the salary system fof elx yearsy- has saved the county upwards of $30,000 These Items represent a big saying to the people of th county. But even more Impressive is the fact that since he became Jailer Sheriff Flynt has reduced the expenses of the Jail by about $300 a month, in addition to making !t a sanitary place to live. H has made the women1 department of the Jail more than self-sustaining since establishing a sewing room for the female prisoners. What more can the people want from tnelr officials than a record of service, progress and economy such as lure presented? MUCH WDBK BE G I I . TOO LATE FOR DEMAGOGY If A. E. Holton is elected to the Senate from Forsyth county his victory will be heralded from one end of the State to tho other as a great triumph for the "old guard Republicans of North Carolina. Do the people of Forsyth want to send the news to the world that they are ready to restore to power the leaders of the Republican party who disgraced and debauched th fair numd of this great Stale In 1895 and '97? 'if they are we hawe greatly un derestimated their desire for good 'government.'? '' Of course, Mr. Holton will not be elected. But if the miracle should happen,, If he Bhould be able so far to mis icaa tne people as to Induce a majority of them to vote for him, his election will be due solely to the fact that he has gotten some people to believe that the manufac turing enterprises of Winston-Salem are corrupt oppres sors of their employes and have been built up by illegal methods. - Jt t utterly impossible for us to conceive of Mr. Hoi ton's misleading intelligent citizens with this demagogue staie appeal to prejudice. For those who are famllia; with his record know that at the very time when he In slsts the manufacturing Industries of Winston-Salem were viu.uung me law a. is. Holton held, the high office of Public Opinion Sentiment of the people as volcd in open letters to the Edit""" R G. HOLDER CRITICISES REPLY OF L.VB. WALL To the Editor of The Journal: I am glad to note that Mr. L B. Wall's reply to my letter which ap peared In the Tuesday's issue of the ournal. 1 rerret to sav that Mr. Wall ,has made several mistakes In nis letter also. In my recent article took a stand on the fence between wo great political parties, but it seems Mr. Wall has tried to pull me uu. on nis siae. .Now. as Sir. Wall is n attorney, it ia ouits nruner for him to meddle with politic but a school teacher has no use for the vile stuff. The object of the oubllc schools Is to develop manhood and woman- nooa, and not a bitter partisan spirit that will grow more itter as the years pass. So for this reason I do not meddle with politics. However, air. wan has misconstrued the pur pose of my letter. He wants to mix that purtRise with something too dirty for the true man politics. My letter was written for the purpose of lining the little towhead boy In brogans to a position where he can appreciate the higher things in life, and to a place where he can be on an eqpal. Intellectually with the rich man a son of he city. Mr. Wall says 4 am fighting the policies advocated by Mr. Holton. iow, i oont know whether I am or not, for I don't know what Mr. Holton is advocating. I do know, however, that I have told the truth, and that I have made no reference to Mr. Holton or his policies. Although I plainly stated that I urn no politician and that I have heard no campaign speecnes, yet air. Wall nas put me aown a republican who nas turned traitor to his party. This is an in lustlee to tne, Heine a rural school teacher, I ahi burdened with the work and have no time for politics. About the only political paper I take Is The Journal and after reading Mr. wall s article last week I was con vinced that he had made a mistake. it was ' this conviction that caused me to write the truth about the con d It Ions In the rural schools. It was this same convlotion that caused Mr. Wall to reply. His reply plainly shows that his conscience is troubl ing him, for he admits that I tell the truth, "even If I don't mean to. Now, Mr. Wall must know that I mean every word I write: if I did not. I would not write It. I am vi tally Interested in public education couldn t succeed with my work if I didn t, become interested In It enjoy seeing the children grasp new Ideas; it thrills my soul to see them make rapid progress. Who does not like to witness like scenes, tor are not these children the hope of the fu ture? Although Mr. Wall realises that the Democratic, party is not doing enough for the rural schools, yet he fails to offer a remedy, but goes on and says I am condemning; a man who does offer one. This Is not true I am not acuualnted with Mr. Hoi tion's remedy, but if it can help the public school system it is worth trial. . ;( i , In. my other- letter T mentioned some of the4 neds of the public schools, and I think it unnecessary to repeat thetftV However, there one Important, pressing need I neg. lected to mention, and that ft free textboblisi r II oduld ; mention num beri of install sVys during my experi ence whore children were held back for want of proper books. I know not which party fnvors this Issue, but do know It is', important A rigid compulsory law is useless without free text books. The constitution of North Carolina says: "The peo have the right to the privileges of education . and it is the duty of the State to euard and maintain that rlirht." Now. are we guarding this right when there are children being de nled this rrtat privilege? Are w guarding it when we deprive them of a simple "golden opportunity?" Are we guarding it when we permit the wilful parent to keep his boy at home? Are we guarding it when we vote our money, paid as taxes, away to pay the salary of some great pou tlclan? These are the questions that th voter, of North Carolina will ans wer next Tuesday. May we realize their Importance and give them careful, non-partisan consideration, R. G. HOLDER.

"The average cost of mianufacture of newsprint paper In domestic mills was less than iii per ton or i.o per hundred pounds, during the flint half of 1916, as shown both by the manufacturers' own cost sheets and by costs bs revised) by the account ants of the commission. Further more, these average costs were slight ly lower than the average cost in any year from 191 J to 1916. The average cost declined In the first half of 1916. the market prices of Borne of the materials of manu facturers advanced and were un imtiallv hlch.

This is neces sarily a matter of prediction, con cerning which the commission ex presses no opinion. "The quality of newsprint paper produced by domestic manufacturers in the first half of 1916, was some what greater than In any preceding half year since the middle of 1913. The increase in production was ac complished by running mills o full capacity, Recently most mills have been operating 24 hours per day for six days per week. . "The quantity of newsprint paper Imported, which came chiefly from Canada, equalled about one-third of the domestic production, and showed a great increase in the first half of 1916. The quantity exported also Increased during the period, though the exports were small compared with imports. The prices, however, offer ed by foreign buyers were high. "The stocks of newsprint paper, which are very small In comparison with the production, not only declin ed during the first half of 1916, but also .weru lower than at any time dur ing the year 1915. "As 'there was a large Increase In production and imports, accompan led by a decline in stock, while there was only a small tonnage exported, it Is evident that there was decided increase in consumption during the first half of 1916.

New Machines Will Begin Soon "Uefore the recent price advance, certain other grades of paper were showing higher profits per ton than newsprint paper and there was a tendency to change from this grade to other grades. This movement seems to have been checked for the present b- the high prices of news print paper. Furthermore, it is stated that before the end of this year four new machines, two in this country and two in Canada, with an aggregate daily capacity of about 160 tons, wllll begin operations on newsprint paper.

A request comes from a valued reader that the Evening Post declare ' - T ,1 Its preference between tiugnes aim Wilson. In comvnon with the great body of Independents, the Evening Post entered this campaign with a mind open to conviction. We could not pretend to overlook the serious objections to President Wilson. From Mr. Hughes we hoped for an exhilar ating campaign with far-reaching and constructive policies, discussed in an appealing manner and on a high level. He has sorely disappointed an who expeoted this. His attacks upon Mr. Wilson have been far too sweep, ing and without a particle of gener ous recognition. We agree with Prof. Bllsa I'erry in what he has i lately written: "I like fair play: Having known Woodrow Wilson for nearly twenty-five years as a high-minded gentleman of absolute integrity, of stubborn Scotch-Irish courage, and of passionate devotion to his country, resent the wilful misrepresenta tion and malignant disparagement which characterize the campaign against him." In this respect, Mr. Hughes has been -ine i-resiucm o best campaigner. Meanwhile, air. Wilson has In his speeches shone by contrast. H has known how to oe dignified while forcible. And th.e in creasing emphasis which the whole drift of the campaign has placed up on the President's highest service to the country his maintenance oi peace with honor has been unmis takable. His re-election would be the strongest kind of peace mandate from the people or the unitea Biaieo. It Is mainly for this reason that the Rvpnlntr Post, without abating Its re corded criticisms of -the President a Jot, believes that victory for Mr. Wil son next Tuesaay wouiu i"i good of the country! LiS DISCUSSED Interpretation of Ordinaiu-e is Discussed at 'Aldermen Meeting; Fruit Stands on ' Streets or pending developments will ap parently require a somewhat longer time to become available. "It is not intended in this ste ment to make any prediction about the future course of newsprint pa per prices, but merely to indicate some Important facts to those in terested in the buying and selling of paper in order that they may act more advisedly In making new con tracts. Moreover, the facts shown here are confined to matters of a sta tistical character and do not cover other phases of the situation, in cluding various trade activities of the newsprint paper manufacturers. Jobbers, and newspaper publishers. These questions will b a subject of further consideration by the. commis sion and some of ithem will be cov ered bv the public hearings which the commission Intends to hold, in the near future." - . ; . , CAR SHORTAGE DUE TO INEFFICIENCY . (Continued from page One) attorneys for complaining shippers, iftjorder. that their testimony might be available In the event of a geheral inquiry into the situation being held ftiter.? ' ' - Aside from Mr. Barnes, other rail road representatives heard were W. L. Farks, vice-president of the Illi nois Central; J. F. Porterfleld, of the same system; and C. B. Phelps, su perintendent of transportation of the Louisville and Nashville railroad. Short statements were also presented by representatives of Ohio and Mich igan coal dealers and consumers. C. B. Phelps, testifying for the Louisville and Nashville, said there is at this time a net shortage of cars on that road of more than 16,000, and that of this number approximately 10,000 are coat-cars. Various Reasons For Shortage Various reasons for shortages were assigned. Chief among them were the large volume of munition ship ments to the Seaboard, increased out put of ore in the Lake regions and the removal of many colliers from the coal carrying trade along the At lantic coast. These causes, it was as serted, had operated to draw cars from the south and west to the north and east, which had then been held there. Remedies Suggested Each of the railroad representa tives testifying today recommended the assumption of control by the Interstate Commerce Commission of the distribution of cars. They also recommended that demurrage charees assessed against shippers and the per diem charge paid by railroads hold- The Sunday selling ordinance a'ml the Interpretation thereof consumed much of the time at the meeting of the Board of Aldermen, last night, tha matter having been brought up by Attorney B. C. Tavis, who represent ed a client who . operates a cafe' and has canned goods on his Bhelves to be served in connection with, arid as a part of meals. - - The point in question was whether or not the phrase in the ordinance, "exposing for sale" means "exposing to view," the report having been made that Judge Stephenson had ruled that the meaning is the same, basing his opinion upon what he thought the meaning or. tne oroi nance as it was passed. It was pointed out that If "expos ing to view" means "exposing for sale," then it would be necessary for the drug stores to cover up or to take out of their Bhow cases on Sun day and hang curtains over the wall CUThe ordinance was discussed from several angles, but no decision was reached as to the Interpretation that, should be placed on the wording, the purpose being, as it relates to cafes, according to Mayor Eaton and Chief Thomas, to prevent people who have small grocery stores from op ening an eating place in them, so that they could stay open on Sun days and sell their goods. 7 - Stands on Btreeta . L Another matter that came up for discussion was the privilege the fruit stands, etc., are taking of hav ing displays of their wares out on the sidewalks. It was found that it Is now unlawful for anything to be displayed on the sidewalks, the or dinance allowing two feet having been left out of the new volume of ordinances. A motion was carried to allow two feet and the matter was referred to the Ordinance Commit tee. Abattoir Repairs Superintendent of Public Works Joseph Firth reported that he had received two bids on the repairs and improvements to be made on the Abattoir, one from C. M. Thomas & Company at $1,250 and the other from Mr. C. W. Robblns at $1,125. The report was . adopted and tho Abattoir Committee will doubtless let the contract for the wbrk, which is expected to begin Monday. Notice of Appeal Notice of appeal to court was given by Messrs. Mathias and H. Y. Maston from the amount fixed by the Jury appointed to condemn their- property on North Main Btreet for . widenlnp the street. The jury allowed '$3,6 U0 for the property and the owners are said to want $4,500. xSome of the al dermen expressed themselves asr be lieving that the full value of the property had been allowed and that it should be fought out In the courts, while others were of the opinion that It would be better to try to compro mise with the owners. No action was taken- except to adopt the report of the committee on the condemnation proceedings. , Journal Want Ads. Bring results. ing foreign cars be increased.
