Dear Mr. Carroll:—

ute' your article in tii« Bttrlinirtoa
News in regard to the bond issue for
a Graded School buil4ing i"
of Buriin^on, I warit j» say I aift
With you on Qie proposition. If I
were a resident of Burlington, I
•would surely vote , and work for the
bond issue to build a building that
would be in keeping With the progress
of your city.
V I know of no improvement that you
could make that would add more to
the progriess of your city than a
modern up-to-date school building or
anything that your people would look
to -with greater pride. Mebane, Haw
Biver, Graham and Mon College ail
have Urge modern brick buildings
that are the piide of the towns and
why not Burlington join the proces
sion and do likewise.
I am interested because I would like
to see your city have a school build
ing that would do you credit and be a
blessing to tK^ children of the pres
ent and future generations.

you hold your election, I hope that | school bonds,”

have beer, cast in favor of the school

vote for it will always have some
thing that they will be proud of.
With best wishes for your success
in this fight, I beg to remain.

My dear Mr. Carroll:—
I have just read your splendid ar
ticle; “Vote for Barlington Graded
School Bonds,” and I writo to congrat
ulate you. It is freighted with vitaJ
truth. It is true it should take no
campaign. Sut it may be that good
men are not awake to the situation;
and if sc, your writing should arouse
them to their sense of an important
duty. Your write-up for bonds is a
word fitly spoken and I am sure it
will do lots of good. I am glad you
wrote.
Very truly,

Do you live in;Burlington? If *o
you haVe cause to b« proud of yput-
environments. No better cljmate, no
.better people, no better surroundings
from a natural sUuidpoinIt can; N
found anywhere. But our conditions
can by us be made better. But unless
we puil together and place our shoul
ders to the wh^l a "Bigger, Better
Burlington” is but a vision and a
dream.
The one great thing we all ought to
strive for, is to make our growing
little city the best place in the world
in which to live. Our surroundings
should be sach that men of character
and capital would desire to live here.
Let us do something worth while
which will biess every man, woman
and child in Burlington now and here
after. The opportunity is at hand.
The crying need for better school facil
ities appeal to us from every side. It
should take no campaig;'i, no argument
no persuasion to induce every patriotic
son living within our city to answer
this call. We are proud of our busi
ness cnterprices, our factories, our
churclif.-. and cur Wp dei^ervs
the very best. The poorest among us
should have every facility to educate
their children and prepare them for
places of usefulness in this electric
age. Without an education of some de
gree, life in this country for tho next
generation will offer very few advan
tages. Let us have the very best for
our childicn. In building a large, up-
to-date school building we are making
no sacrificej We could make no bet
ter investment than to spend this little
pittance for the benefit of the children
t»ow here and for those to come after
them.
This school ought to be under one
roof, centrally located. Here the rich
and the poor ought to mingle together
and all to fare alike. Let there be no
difforence. We shall oppose placing
schools in the suburbs and saying to
factory children you are excluded from
the center, from the best. Nature
made no difference in you. Your roind
i: as bright as that of any child or j
children and you should have the same '
advantages. The ucst and greatest
I men of the. world come fom the homes
iof poor but respected parents. The
little distance traversed is an advan
tage. Growing children need exercise.
I Our toirh is not so large but that all
waited too long. We are all ashamed
of our present facilities and it is a
continuing disgrace to us not to rem
edy it at once. .
Vote to help the little boys a.id girls
who are not ahie to vote tor them
selves. Vatft- to help humanity and
place Burlington on a par with other
progressive cities. Vote to brfp the
coming children who; .will soon take
your place, and: rising gene4atiort
inll ris« tip and call you blesseo.
These bonds should carry in Burling
ton without a dissenting vote,

WOULD INDEED BE A TBiUMPB
OF DIPLOMACY.
The ch&ncM are, we suppose, tihat
the United St«tes and Germany irill
reach some soH of understanding, at
least for publication purpose; Very
few of the people of this country
want war, and besides, there would
be something, rather dispiriting in of
fering the aid of oai: bE.ttleships t>>
people who say very fraiikly that they
would prefer our neutra.lity. But if
this understanding, is reached it is
gving to be a very great triumph
for diplomacy. To nuike clear our
jBe^niiig we.dirwt attention to the fact
that the .'\driatic, of the White Star
Line, sailed for Liverpool from New
York: Thursday. On the Adriatic’^
manifest were 3,557 boxes of .empty
projectiles, 5,^ eases of cartridgesv
5,674 DHi-s of copper, 1,525 cathode;,
copper; 3,300 reels of barbed wire,
fi,155 packages of steel, 1,000 cases
of spelter,-,5,140. barrels of luiiricat-
ing oil, 1,*307 cases of brass rods; 137
.automobiles, 7S0 coiis of coper wire,
three boxe."!'of tractors and one aero
plane.
These things were n;ade in Anierica.
They were sold to people, for a money
consideration,. who will use them t >
kill other people. The passenger list
was relatively small. -Absolute contra
band was thrown abou the decks in
piles as large as freight ears. Thera
was little room for p«ssengers, but
among the small number were thiree
Americai«. Now then under th'.i
terms of the vote addressed to the
Berlin government by President V/il-
son, the kaiser’s submarines would
not be permitted to destroy the Ad
riatic, which at the prscnt mbttjent^
is little more than a floating arsenal.
We know, and the English know, ani
the Germans know, that this cargo
can never be intacepted, save by th«
use of undersea craft. Our positioii
is therefore, in effect, that this ship,
I freighted with in-struments of potent
ial death and destruction, must be
permitted to nwive through the ocear,
lines unmolested, that the cargo must
in the end perforn> the mission where-
unto it was sold, because of the pre-
senceon board of these three Ameri
can citizeris. Tht position of our gov
ernment 18 thata. it is thinking in
terms of humanity. The Germans po
sition is that it, tood, is thinking in
tarms of hunxanity; and that the «!tS-
mate destination and use of such car
goes bear a very close relation to hu
man considerations, such aa the mat
ter of food supply for its own civil
population.
A good part of the world is fighting,
and the rest of it is trying to main
tain neutrality that it is fairly well
armed. Diplomacy, as ws have befora
remarked, ought to be to keep us
in the last named condtion. But in tiie
meantima we apprehend that the Ger
mans and American viewpoints are a#
wide apart »s the distance between
Berlin and Washington.
