The people read advertisements to day more than they ever did before, and publishers are gradually coming to weed out any form of advertising matter which they co^rsider offensive to their reading patrons. We congratulate the Greensboro News upon the stand it has taken. Many a man sincerely disbelieves in prohibition, and yet conscientiously supports prohibition laws when they are written by the majority. This is tl’.e mission of good citizenship, and in londinK its influence to tho thorough sjupport of the state prohibition law our con*^Gmporary puts itsH'lf in a )>osition wiiit h can only strengthen it with men who respect law. We quote its com ment on the subject, which runs as follows; “The Daily News wishes to announce that it will not in the future publish whiskey advertisement&. Some weeks Prince all advertising matter of this character was taken from the paper av.d no fornuil announcement of our iuUMuioiis in this respect would have l)v\‘n made had it not been lor the cir- i-umstance that a nunibor of people have evinced an interest in know ing whether this was to be the settled policy of the paper. "Wo have not made the withdrawal of this class ot advertising a subject of coinineiit for the reason that we did not care to assume an attitude that ini.^ht. to some people, sus^gesi the I’liara^aical on the one hand, nor did A I.' liuvo any dls])ositi .n to turn a def initely announced change of policy to I'l'ssible pecuniary ad’-r'.niage or pro tit. M;)r«'c)ver. the Daily Xews does un wish, to apijear to criticis-o by in- t'-'renco those I'apers that are pursu- iiiy a dii'ierent course. It is a matter Vo arc willing: to leave to every I'ublisher to settle for himseli in the 111.hi .'t tlte lav..-; or' the land and his .IV. n conscience. ■‘Having gone this far, we m?y be permitted to obsi ^’ve that, in leaving wl.i^key advertising out of its col- ' runs, the Daily News lays no claim •o having been intlnenc* d by deep-seat- ■ (I oi- i.i'o'cuiidiy inherent moral . romptings. siich as have led thous- and.^^ of people in tho state, our bet tors no doubt, to great and salutary activity in the cause of prohibition, an activity inspired by the feeling that theS’C good people are. in more or less degree, their brother’s keeper. Still again, v.e can not assume the ’.ole of the seeker after an absolving conscience. Contrariwise, we have bt-en moved by ;ne broad, if less credi- \'iblr view (a view consisiently held at Ashe\ille as well as in Greensboro), iliat, since the people of the stale have recorded their verdict at the bal- l>t box against the liquor traffic in all is se' o' til forms, the known wishes of li'ie gt iv'rality of people should be re- I'P.'i tc'd by a newspaper, a quasi-public ills iiUiion. "Without the least desire to invite concroversy, or to question contrary views that nay be hold by others, it Is not (If ar to us how we, as a nev.-s- pavicr. can show that deference to the popular judgment which the situation demands, the wiiile disclosing a proper regard lor the lit v v hicL iii our news and editorial columns .ve piofess to re- vere. and then, contemporaneously, puldish in our adverusing columns a cio?s of matter whoso tendency is in- v'!abi> in the direction of a circum- v:-" ti.:n of that law. With the con- scionJons convictionn that it is the duty of every citizen to live in respect and obedience to the law our course is planned in this as well as all other ma‘trrs. “The lamented Thomas B. Reed once anked his friends to ‘think what we £-houIcl be, who are lUilearned and brut ish. If the vrlse, the learned and the good should sc-parate themselves from us.' In a moral question, such as this, the wl?o, the learned and the good, it is always safe to assume, will be louiid to have a majority, and it is equally safe, in casting about for guidance in the direction af what !s right and proper, to respect the defi nitely recorded verdict oi that majori ty.” From Other Sanctums | Too Many Pardons. The governor is to be commended for ordering the arrest of Ed Caton, to whom he gave a conditional pardon, because since he was- released Caton has been liviiig in adultery, unlaw fully selling whiskey, and engaging in chicken fighting on the Sabbath day. The governor was not aware of Ca ton’s past record and the fact that he was an escaped convict, having been away from the gang several days, when he granted the pardon. The trouble is that the governor of the state and other chief executives run the pardon mill overtime. The pardoning power was conferred only to meet extreme cases a)id not to make the executive an appellate court to hear the evidence and set aside ver dicts and judgments because he thinks they are Avrong or the punishment ex- cessi’e. There are occasions—very lew—when executive clemency ought to bo exercised, bpt in most of the cases in which pardons are granted the ends of justice would be served by lotting the verdicts of juries and the sentences of courts stand.—News and Observer.

Some tracts are of immense valiie, contain ing bfds of the highest grade coal in veins from thirty to eighty feet in thicknees. By a now m-ethod of selling this coal land tliS "'ovcrnment will gain an enormous amotmt of money. The olfi way was to sell the coal lands regardless of value ?tt $10 an acre if more than 15 miios fro ina railroad, or at $20 if within that limit. Now the geological survey measures tho coal in an acre and the land is sold on a coal tonnage basis. As a result coal lands hai'e ben jiriced as high as $400 an acre and in one tract at even $600. During the last year the geological survey classified by individual forty acre tracts 8.527,166 acres w'ith a value of $560,815,081. This added to the results of former work gives a total oi! 13,480,538 acres classified as coal lands with a valuation of $637,- 019,418. By the old method these lands would have a valuation of $21S,- 289,942, which show^s a net gain to the government of nearly $420,000,000. All proceeds of coal lands are de posited to ilie credit of the irrigation “reclammation fund.” V./HIS £Y ADVERTISING. .Jot -Wi’lth any dor*iro to play the rolo f' the Pha.'Jseo, uor yet to put itself lip as an arc light of superior moral » amina, so It sayn, but merely In the «'!lort to observe the law v/hlch a ma jority has ' ’Ittcn tho Greensboro Nows has just divorced Itself from all • whiskey advertisements.
