OARL GOERCH ...Ewro?| WASHINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA. SEPT. 37. 1916. THE COMING OF THE CIRCUS. It was learned veeterday that the circus is coining to town neojt month. Let 'er come ; we'll be glad to see it. We've been waiting for a circus evw since the last one caxne her?. We all like to go down to the station to see 'em unload. And then we like to watch the street parade, and eat peanuts, and feed them to the elephants, and visit the sideshows, and see the bu'ful ladies on horseback, and howl over the anties of the clowns and ? but what's the use; everybody's been to a circus and everyone knows what it's like. One never gets too old to go to the circus.' C'm on; you ttojj phants! A LITTLE NERVE? THAT'S ALL. There was a story in yesterday's papers about a drayman in Wash ington, who carted off a wagon load of structural iron, which had been purchased for use on a new embassy annex. Under the eye? of>m large force of attaches and clerks, and chatting socially with the spec ial policeman assigned to guard the embassy property, the draymai^ leisurely loaded his wagon, said goodbye ahd moved off. The theft was discovered hours afterward. It is an interesting little story, and it shows what "nerve'' will do. Several years ago. while going out to a ball 'game in New York City with a friend, the latter maiie the wuger that he could take bpth of us into the grounds without paying a cent. We walked up to the special policeman at the gate, and with a smile, this friend pointed toward us and said: "lie's with me." The officer waved us in. He evidently thought that we were players on the team which was opposed to the Giants on that day. Several weeks ago, a man ente red one of the largest clothing stores in Philadelphia, picked half a dozen suits off the racks, in full viewr of the clerks, and 'walked out of the front of the store with the suits under his arm. At a big society function in New York City, about a year ago, one man, attired a? a waiter, entered the dining room and made off with, several thousand dollars in silverware. He (lid so in the presence of the host, hostess, and a score or more vf guests. The man with nerve can get pretty nearly ev^^thing he wants. And if he would employ this ^erve in honest business method*, in stead of as in the illustrations given above, he is bound to succeed in life* No one has much use for a timid, backward man. , He gets lost in the race. It is the man with NERVE, who wins out. AN OPPOSING VIEW. President Underwood of the Erie railway system takes a view ofi the Adamson eight-hour law that is decidedly contrary to the view* expressed by President Ripley of the Santa Fe system and other rail-: way magnates.* Mr. Underwood says that the railroad managers as1 a class an* not opposed to the eight-hour day and that among thetn, as among other observers of social forces and tendencies, there was a general feeling that it was coming some day and ought to come. Com menting on this statement, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch facetiously remarks: "Tint what competency has Mr. Underwood to pass on that oppres sive pirce of congressional legislation? Mr. Hughes was so shocked at the surrender that he was almost spcechless for several days. The Colonel told us that, the only way to handle the threatened railroad strike was the way 'I handled the hard coal strike.' "Coming frAm such a source, Mr. Underwood's statement that Mr. Wilson did what he honestly believed was for the good of the country places an outrageous tax on our credulity. But he surpasses all bounds of toleration when he calmly assures us that no one, associated with the President, as the railroad managers were during the long negotiations, could charge Mr. Wilson with playing politics. "Not playing politics! What would the Colonel have done in such a situation? What is Mr. Hughes doing in expressing his disap pointment. liecause the strike was averted. Being only a railroad president. whr>so increase of burdens under the eight-hour plan lias inspired a vast compasJYm in the tender rjars of standpat Hughes nip porter*. Mr. Underwood does not know what he is talking about." THE BLACK MAIL IN V ESTIOATION, The spectacular arrwit of h gang of blackmailers, who have been preying upon rich men and women of the metropolitan c.itiea, fur nishes us new food for thought- ? awl skepticism. Major F. W. Harbor, of (Chicago, commenting on this subject re cently ntHtorl that when the arrests were made in Chicago a ftrtr days ' ago, it was heralded broadcast that millionaire men and women had been caught in com promising position*. It waa even aaid that many social families of prominence would be rocked to their very founda tions. The public gasped with anticipation, and the victims shivered with apprehension. And then, an order suddenly came from Washington, directing that the names of the victims be kept secret. ?Money, money, money ! The overpowering influence of money ! If poor men and women had been caught in the net' of exposulfe, no consideration wonld have been vouchsafed them, no mercy would have been shown them. The searchlight of publicity wonld have been turned on to the fall. Hut not so with the socially prominent, not so with those of the swollen bank accounts. Money and position give thetn influent*, and influence grants them immunity from publicity. Skeptical? We are just skeptical enough to 'wonder if the tim* will ever come when the law will be for all people alike? not a law ! for the poor man and none for the ridh. % ! lemon wu withdrawn. tt??* dortftg the time 'wuhlMU?
