JANTARY 8. 15124. j Business and Prosperity The Republican doctrine is, was, and probably ever will be, J that to help business is to help the country. That's the why of a high pro tective tariff and of almost ev ery other fundamental Republi can shibboleth. But the salaried man has dis covered that the severest econ omies to live within his income may become necessary when business is enjoying a period of unexampled prosperity. Th" farmer has learned, to his sor row in many cases, that the big gest wheat crop loss in many J years may be sustained when there is a tariff on wheat unci when business generally, and es-| pecially mercantile business, is good. Even the wage earner is; beginning to understand that the matter of the cost of living] is of as much interest to him as; the amount that he finds on Sat-] tirday night in his pay envelop" and he knows that a wage of five dollars a day now will buy less than would $3.50 a day in 1913. The business man, if he thinks only of his own immedi ate interest, is naturally a Re publican. But the farmer, the wage earner and the salaried worker who subscribe to the Re publican doctrine that what's good for business will add -to| their prosperity have been bun-; coed. An Impotent League The Advance has for some lime held to the opinion that the attitude of President Wilson in seeking American ratification of the League of Nations Covenant was too uncompromising. _ Hadjie been able to yield but a little, the Covenant would' have been ratified by the United States Senate and the country, would have been spared the shameful history of the years that have followed conclusion of a separate peace with Germany. | In all probability, too, France j could" have been restrained from occupation of the Ruhr and the Treaty of Versailles could have been made what it was intend ed by President Wilson to be ? a pact of reconciliation. Now that France has carried to conclusion a series of jilli ances that make her the domin ant power of Continental Eur ope, it remains to be seen wheth er the League of Nations is any longer an effective instrument for the prevention of war. We say that of the League as it is at present constituted. The Ad vance is even frankly doubtful whether American entry into the League of Nations at this time would serve to defer the day of the next World War. If this is true of the League as it now is. how much less ef fective would the League be if it were emasculated as pro posed under the prize-winning world peace plan whose author has been awarded $100,000 of Edward Bok's money? The Advance has a notion that the News and Observer, which has been getting' the Da vid Lawrence dispatches of late, won't print the one for Tuesday dealing with the Gar ner substitute for the Mellon tax plan. But The Advance be lieves in giving its readers op portunity to see public questions from every angle. We print the David Lawrence dispatches, whether we agree with their viewpoint or not. Our own po sition, when we are at variance with Mr. Lawrence, is set forth in the editorial column.

Old Timers Recall - Famous Cold Friday W I Cold Wave Saturday Night Rekindled Recollections Of j Other Cold Spells The cold 'snap through which | Klizabetli City and the Albemarle' scction has Just passed in company | with the rest of t lit? nation brings to many minds reminisce uses o?. the' other occasions when the icy hand of' winter has rested with more than usual heaviness upon this section. Perhaps the most frequently re-, ferred to is the "cold Friday" which occured about 28 years ago, accord ing to those who remember it. It was called "cold Friday" not because Friday was the only cold day' of that or the next succeeding weeks but because the real arctic weather began on that day of the week. The! day before, Thursday, is described as balmy and warm. Some had been working on their boats and other occupation when along about evening of Thursday the wind shifted toward the north and brought* ice with it where the sun had been shining a few minutes be-, fore. It may well be believed that] those who had doffed their coats lost no time in putting them on. The wind and cold weather con tinued all night and the next morn-' ing early risers found ice In the river and even In tfce wnmd. That day ha* gone, down In local history a* ilw "cold Friday." If one is to believe those who tell of it. the weather. was "some kind of cold." Hefore'long the Albemarle and Pamlico sounds were frozen over solid and the rivtrsl and creeks blocks of clear Ice. There was skating and much fun on the Ice and some drove teams down the sound. Some of the boats were caught en route to their destinations and were frozen in at places in mid stream. Crews remained aboard for some time and then walked ashore for diversion. It was four weeks before even a steel hulled vessel could ply the sounds. The next real winter weather for the Aibemarle section occured on the first day of January, 1918. and was the last real winter to visit the mild tempered Albemarle until the snappy weather which' settled down here Saturday n!j?ht and brought a coat ing of thin Ice to the creeks apd edges of the Pasquotank river. On January 4. 191H, The Daily Ad vance carried this story: "The picture city that used to be alongside the Pasqurflank before the Pasquotank froze over and gave the town such a frigid New Year's greet ing that relations have bepn a trifle | strained ever since, is getting used to cold weather of every color and form. "A few stores actually shut up shop and their proprietors went home during the early part of the week, saving fuel and getting a hol iday without missing any business, for nothing was going on." On Janury 8. The Advance carried an account of the breaking through of l?,e in the Pasquotank river under an ice host operated by Irving Bailey. A rope and a board thrown in by Irving Barton saved the young man from drowning. On the same date there was a story to the effect that ten hag^ of of flour had been stolen from the gas boat Ruth of Buffalo City which v as loaded with provisions and un able to return on account of the Ice. At about this time The Advance remarked editorially that It was "cold enough for us but not coal enough." Sunshine all day Sunday and Man-! day has apparently broken the back of the cold spell and the forecast of I slowly rising temperature will pre- 1 vent the ice from freezing solid on i the waterways. Many believe that had tho weather continued as cold as It was Saturday and Sunday nights that the sounds would have been frozen over as they were In 1918 and on "cold Friday."
