by the president, by July Isst,
1913. Some may suppose that
this is a new scheme, but it
seems to us that just such a di
do was cut in North Carolina
several years, .by abolishing the
office, and later created § new
office, but for the same purpose,
and filled it wit^ men of their
own choice. And if we are not
mistaken Locke Craig was a lead;
er in trying to impeach some su
preme court justices for no other
motives that a political end.
We had hoped, but in vain, that
men of that stripe had passed
forever.

Nortli Carolina Furniture Men Win.
It must be exceedingly good
news to every Tar Heel to learn
that after a long and hard battle
by the furniture Manufactures-
ers Association of North
Carolina the unjust discriminat
ing freight rates on furniture in
car load shipments from North
Carolina to the Pacific states
have been ordered reduced by
the Interstate Commerce Gomis-
sion to the same basis rate given
Va., New York and all Eastern
states. Consequently our furni
ture manufactures are at least on
the same freight rate basis with
all competitors. However, its a
well established fact that for a
long time our manufaturers have
been making a better and finer
product than many of the east
ern and western makers. As
an evidence of this fact the
White Furniture Co., of Mebane
have been for years selling a
large part of their product in the
extreme west with odds in fre-
ight against thpm.
And in justice to Mr. W. W.
White of Mebane we must ndte
that this ruling reducing the
North Carolina rate is largely
due to his untiring efforts assist
ed of course by many other large
furnishing Manufacturers.
This victory is only beginning
to the removal of the marry other
disciiminations that exist on
nearly every product shipped in
to North Carolina;: Its the duty
of every citizen y of the state to
.support loayally arid liberally
every organization that is High-,
ting, the retarding o^f ; business

Is It So?
A few days ago some one bril-
liantly remarked that Mr. Wood-
rov^ Wilson would be a good
president for all until his inaugu
ration on next March. The
statement carries with it much
truth. So far he has had no
trials, that the result could cause
division. Can you conceive of
any trouble, dissatisfaction or
dissappointment, if he appoints
Josephius Daniels to the cabinet,
W. J. Bryan to the Secretary of
State over the protests of Chaifnp
Clark and his friends, or ignores
Wall Street when he appoints a
secretary for the Treasury?
These are problems that he must
solve and let the decision be
right, as we hope it will be, he
will make enemies. And assume
that he does not make a Wall
Street selection for the guard of
Uncle Sam’s funds, it means a
financial disturbance. There are
many things to cross the Presi
dent-elect’s pathway that will
torment him by day and haunt
him by night.
He has acted wisely so far in
living up to his own rule of be-
in g a good listener, but the day
is not far distant when he must
mount the stage, with the lights
on and the real play will begin
physican, said Mr. Rockefeller

Dri. Chappelle swore that to
force Mr. Rockefeller to testify
’’would not only be an act of,
inhumanity, but accually would
endanger his life,,”
Another affidavit by Dr. Sam
uel W. Lamont was much to the
same effect. When the affidavits
were put into Money TrustCom-
Triittee’s record Chairman Pujo
announced that the committee
would investigate the situation
