C, Thurs., Jan. 21, 19V Th militarists are wild with the Idea of biiilitincr a great navy spending millions to increase the dc nnH pnlHriro the army. This is not the idea of the American peo ple at large. They do not believ that the way to avo'd war is to h always preparing for it. The people f thin country believe that the nation that takes the sword shall perish I the sword. Insurance Commissioner J. K Yousg in his annual report made last Saturday and transmitted by Govern or rvair to th General Assembly eppoees State made rates for insui anct companies. In this he opposet a large element in the Legislature He favers a bureau or assoeiatron ccieseaed of companies. The Republicans in Congress havi adopted a plan of warefare for t.hi campaign for lC'lfi. it is for a big navy and an increased army under tin pretense that this country is m dan ger of a foreign war, based upon t!v idea that the way to prevent war is 1 prepare for it in time of peace. Tht plan now is to opposu Pres:de:i'. Wilson's peace policy. Tht Courier will publish from timf te tie some of the most ititerestinc parts if evangelist Billy Sunday's sermoas he is preaching in his twc meath's revival service in Philadel phia. The tabernacle built for the oc ca.'ioi holds something like 20,000 people and cost $o0,000 or more. There are two trained choirs for the occasion, each with 1,500 members. Billy Sunday is known as the bas. ball evangelist. He has conducted many successful revivals, one of the most successful was in Pittsburgh last year. WHERE DID YOr GET YOI II INFORMATION? The following appeared in t Hi week's bulletin: "The recently elected Rcpublicu: ticket in Catawba county has gone the salary system and Catawiia is a county very much in the same cir cumstances as Randolph. They c!.i . it will save that county in the noij: borhood of five thousand dollars year. Catawba county, of course '.- to wait for the election of a Republi can county ticket to get the salary system and Randolph will have to ti the same thing, but this county wu have it in two years from now." If the editor of The Rullctin had taken time to look at chapter A'-'i, page S"9 of Public Laws of North Car olina, besjsion he would not have made the above statement. Section 24 of the chapter referred to a'.; says: "This act shall he in force froii. and ufter the first Monday in Decein ber, 1!M4: Provided, the sheriff's Hil ary for the first nine months thereaf ter shall he s:t the rate of $1,.100 pi annum, and such fees as are allowou in section ten of this act: Provided further, sections nine, fifteen am eighteen antl the proviso contained i sectios twenty-one, shall be in force frera and after rairication. "Ratified this the 5th day of Marr! 1913." This bill was introduced by Hon. W. B. Gaither, representative from Ca tawba and was a law nine months be fore the county elected a Republican ficcr. Why does the editor of the Bulletin insist on making such groas miss-state men? This might have fooled somi of tht people if The Courier's lo editor, who is a Catawba county man ad sot been living in the county t t'.r t;-r" t!-e Ir.v west i".to c(T:.t. f yeur information from some othe. source next time. The beautiful longing and unrca imagination of "Grecian Mythology u unequaled and grows in popular.; vomvs fm he. What is more beautiful t-;--n ' i'L.-.xus and Hello' or "Cadmus art! I'ropa." And now as to Shakespeare. If al' the other books ever written-the Dilm excepted tvere put into one, t'. : book would 'not contain the thong, that is crowded between the toe;-.-of "Shakespeare." Goethe, Milt -Dante, eath wrote a' masterpiece but Shakespeare wrote masterpiece Other writers have hail flights of in- enimtinns. hut Shakespeare babbien in inspiration. As a historian he wtu, greater than Hume or Maccaulay. A.- a storv writer he was better than u. Henry or Conan Doyle, his eloquence surpasses Byron's antl in tentloriio. and pathos he surpasses Keats antl Burns. Tis characters are km: queens, peasant, beggars, robftei, ghosts and witches, anil he hamllei chem all with ease. AS TO LEGISLATION NEEDED Anti-Card Playing Law and Others Advocated To the Editor: First, all public card playing should be cut out. It is seldom now that a man or a woman can enter the office-room of a hotel without facing a game of cards. One can scarcely' find a seat on a train without facing a game of cards. Some time since 1 was on a train ann some parties as they thought hat! quite an interesting game of cai. noticed some young Doys inai wore held spellbound by the game. When I found time 1 asked one of tne oojs if he could play cards. He said no. but was very anxious to learn. I think he determined then and there to learn to play cards. If the women are determines 10 keep card parties going they shoult! be moved to a back room where their hiltlren and other people s children iho are not interested in card pTa.v ng could not see them. There is no mi more destructive oi men, un. time and money and their souls than cart! playing. Numbers of boys am young men instead of going to churcr on the Lord's Pay gather in some ole out-house and others go to the pin thickets antl spend the day card pi- ing Many of these boys lose al' respect for the church and soon learn lespsse the preacher ot ot the worn. The preacher can have little or n- influence over the card players. n the duty of the State to legislate ni nst a sin that is destructive ot the mortal and sp. ritual life of its people. Cor ME, I'M FLAT FOOT ED ike ter see th' preacher thump his pulpit now antl then. A-hammerin' home his sermons in th minds uv sinful men: Hob Glenn's style of spt-akin' (he kin whisper, he kin holler) Strikes me sumhow ez th' best kin-'. he alius wilts his collar. I like ter look a pritty gal right p.;::1: stmare in th' face, An' ef she goes an' blushes hit's en Uther adtletl grace; Them gals thet turns ther noses up when vtm look em in th eye, Tl'.ev'll be wirkin' like th' dickens i t a stranger on th sly.

HOME-OWNING FARMER The grimmest purpose of the Danis' farmer is, as he says, to get his lc under his own table. Ninety four in every hundred Danish farmers owr the farms they cultivate. They know that real freedom, under any form of government, is sourcer. home and farm ownership; that landless and homeless are on the way to economic serfdom, whatever flag flies over their heads.

To these were added goods that were culled by manufacturers and graded seconds and thirds, etc. These were shrewd business men, men who belt.ived in advertising, and. realizing the possibilities of advertising, coiui.ienced their business entirely along these lines, and to PROVE THE SUCCESS OF ADVERTISING no better evidence could possibly be offered than the fact thnt every weekly pa per farm, industrial, social or religious curries their advertisements and also that they send out catalogues of enormous sizes, beautifully illustrated ami embellished, costing hundreds of thousands of dollars to publish. Today they have grown to such enormous size that they own and control factories, while they contract to sell the entire output of other factories. However, the plants they control and operate manufacture what is termed In commercial parlance as competitive goods something tlmt every merchant can sell at a low price to meet the demands for cheap merchandise.
