It is a good thing that mullets are rather
plentiful fish because if they were scarce there
would not be enough to go around. Of course
there are some poor, ignorant creatures who
do not know how delicious a nice fat Septem
ber mullet is. They have our deepest sympa
thy; we wish they had some of our mullets.
AMERICAN JUSTICE IS SLOW.
According to a statement of the Associated
Press more than $350,000 was raised to de
fend Sacco and Vanzetti the two anarchist
murderers. This accounts in a large measure
for the fact that they were able to stave exe
cution off for more than six years. Money
does not always save criminals from punish
ment but if often postpones it, unfortunately.
There is something wrong with system of
jurisprudence that permits such a things to
occur. If Sacco and Vanzetti had been con
victed in England of murder it is quite likely
they would have been hanged in sixty days
thereafter.
LET US CELEBRATE.
The proposed bridge celebration may be
made very easily a fine advertisement for Car
teret county. It also has, possibilities in the
way of advertising for Craven county because
practically every visitor who comes here will
pass through that county. Besides Carteret
county is one of the best customers that New
Bern has and any thing that benefits the peo
ple down here will inure to the good of New
Bern. Things being as they are then the peo
ple of the two counties ought to get together
and put over one of the biggest celebrations
ever held in the State.
SUCCESS TO THE NEW RAILROAD
The News has no inside information about
the proposed railroad to the Cape Lookout
scheme. Despite that fact the undertaking
has our best wishes. Of the building of rail
roads there is no end. Many an ambitious
scheme that started off with a considerable
flourish has ended in failure. The Cape Look
out project we trust will not meet with that
fate. In the fullness of time it is likely that
a railroad will be built to the cape and a port
established there. The splendid natural har
bor there awaiting development is going to
prove inviting to capitalists some day or other
and then the road will come. It may be that
the present undertaking, now in its beginning,
will flower forth into a first class trunk line
railroad to the coal fields and the grain grow
ing middle western states. Such an ac
complishment would give North Carolina a
deep water port almost as good as any on the
coast and would be of great value to our rap
idly developing commonwealth. It would fill
in fact a long and keenly felt want.
THE POWER OF PUBLICITY
In modern life there is no more striking
thing than the power of newspaper publicity.
It ::s c.2 rf the most potent forces at the dis
posal of the human race.
The day before Charles Lindbergh made his
fight across the Atlantic he was known by a
few people, a thousand or so probably. The
day after the flight his name was on the
fongues of hundreds of millons. From "Green
land's icy mountains to India's coral strand"
Lindbergh and his his wonderful deed consti
tuted the universal topic. Moreover this in
terest kept up for many days. It was kept
alive by articles in newspapers and other pub
lications. At this time there is probably no
better known man in the world than Charles
Lindbergh. The results of all this publicity
are interesting too. The daring aviator re
ceived 3,500,000 letters, 100,000 telegrams,
14,000 packages and several thousand propos
als of marriage. It is also said that business
offers amounting to $6,000,000 have been ten
dered him.
Lindbergh is not the only man who has been
advantaged by newspaper publicity. Many
a politician has been made by it and many a
business man owes his success primarily to it.
Manufactured articles from automobiles to
chewing gum have derived great benefit from
newspaper advertising. Great causes like ed
ucational and good roads campaigns, church
movements, wars, politics and many others
have depended largely upon the printed page
for their success. And this power ofpublic
ity is not decreasing. With the rapid spread
of education throughout the world millions of
new readers are being added thus enlarging
the field of usefulness of the press. Its poten- I
.tialities are amazing and' they lay a great re-
sponsfbility upon those who are publishers.
No person should be in the publishing busi
ness who does not fully realize the obligations
resting upon him and who is not thoroughly
conscientious about the discharge of those du-

THE PRESIDENT FEELS BETTER
Newspaper correspondents report that since,
Mr. Coolidge announced that he would not be
a candidate for President again that a change
has come over him, over his whole family in
fact. The President is livelier and seems hap
pier. The jestraint and responsibility of the
great office which he fills do not seem to weigh
so heavily upon him. He seems to be really
enjoying his vacation now and Mrs. Coolidge
and their son John appear to be having a bet
ter time too. They mingle freely with peo-
pie, are friendly and agreeable and act just
about like ahy average American family does.
Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge never belonged to the
high flying, extravagant living class such as
is to be found in the big cities. They come of
good American stock, well reared, educated
and while not reallv Door, their means wpre
modest. Mr. Coolidge started out as a coun
try lawyer and Mrs. Coolidge was a school
teacher. They belong to the great middle
class of America; the class that carries on the
country's business and makes it the great coun
cr that it is. The Coolidges have simple tastes,
but they are far from being simple minded.
All who are fortunate enough to know her say
that Mrs. Coolidge is a very bright and attrac
tive woman. The President has the Abraham
Lincoln sort of sense. He has a shrewd, prac
tical, well balanced mind. Neither rhetorical
rlourishes nor bombastic blusterings appeal to
him. He does little talking and works hard.
He knows his job and he attends to it. History
probably will account him as one of the most ef
ficient Presidents that the country has ever
had. Since he has been in office the nation
has prospered greatly and is today envied by
the whole world.
It is natural that the tremendous responsi
bility of the Presidential office should oppress,
at times, a man of Mr. Coolidge's tpe. He is
conscientious and wants to do his work well.
So long as he is in office he will give the best
that is in him to his country no matter how irk
some the job may be. It must be a great re
lief to him to feel that the end is not far away,

GOVERNOR McLEAN BRINGS POLITICAL
NEWS FROM THE WEST
Governor McLean back from his summer vacation in
the Wisconsin woods, gives out the information that
:he West has accepted President Coolidge's statement
:n regard to the presidency at its fact value, and west
ern Republicans are turning to other prospective can
didates. Hoover, Lowden, Hughes and Dawes are be
ing considered in the West, Governor McLean reports.
Dowes is a popular figure in Iillinois; Hoover has con
siderable following in the western country; Lowden is
strong with farmers; and Hughes is being talked of as
a candidate by some of the westerners.
Governor McLean believes the Republicans chances
for success in the national election have been improv
ed by the retirement of Coolidge from the contest for
the nomination. The Governor's view on this point is
'.hat the third term handicap would have been a big
ioad for the Republicans to carry.
Governor McLean reports that while he found lots
of Republican possibilities for the presidential nomina
1 ion, the western Democrats are grouping in darkness,
as far a3 national leadership of their party is concern
ed. Information gathered in the West did not suggest
the name of a single Democrat who would prove a
strong candidate, according to Governor McLean.
(Hendersonville Times-News.)
IT'S SPIRIT OF FREEDOM.
They say that Mr. Coolidge "has caught some of the
spirit of the west;" that he "is noticeably in a happier
mood, more genial in his meeting with other folks, and
more talkative." The guess here is that the spirit of
Mr. Coolidge has caught is the spirit of freedom, the
anticipation of release that came with his release of
the famous twelve words some weeks ago. For the
nrst time is many years Mr, Coolidge is facing the
prospect of release from official responsibility, from
official tyranny. He has eighteen months yet on the
job, but as he knows he is going to retire he dosen't
have to be so particular to please folks; doesn't have to
worry about ways and means to keep this and that in
fluential group in good humor. He has the privilege,
during the remainder of his term, of following his own
lent, such as he has not had in many years, while he
was either holding a job or a candidate, present or pros
pective. He doesn't have to ask anybody odds. He
can tell them to go somewhere if they give him head.
Being so well trained, he may keep the peace to avoid
possible damage to the party to which he is so much in
debted. But don't you know that when he thinks of
the freedom that is to be his in the not distant future,
when he can be his own man, go where he pleases and
stay as long as he wills without having a bunch of news
paper boys camping on his trail, reporting hij every
word and Some that vere mt his, interpreting his ev
ery look and act don't you bc'ieve he feels like go
ing out in the backyard and turn1.. e few handsprings
for pure joy?
Some men never want to surrender the power that
belongs to official station. They turn loose by compul
sion only, and ever afterward they are disgruntled,
constantly criticising their succewoi-3 and trying to come
back. The feeling here is that Mr. Coolidge isn't that
sort. If he was he would have continued on the job.
He has all the honor there is and wants relief. It is
the anticipation of that relief that has made such a
change in the man's spirits that it has attracted atten
tion. "Spirit of the west" nothing. It is the spirit
of personal freedom in the offing that has almost set
Mr. Coolidge to singing and whistling on the job; and
maybe he does hum a tune and whistle a 'few bars be
hind closed doors.--R. R. Clark (Greensboro News.)
