IABE MARTIN We kin git ri?l of n bum fer ton renin, an' free our?eIve? of a book agent by KlKnin' up, but If It over gltM noLted around that wo think Home o' buying' a car, we might an well leave town. I<emmle 1'etera known who'H not hla Ford, but ho can't identify It. Empty Words of a Sphinx? It would never do to Jose sight of the rather startling qualifica tion under which President' Coolidge would favor calling a conference for limitation of; armaments. "With a certain and definite settlement of German repara tions firmly established," Mr. Coolidge declares, he would fa-! vor such a step. How far from "firmly estab lished" the settlement of Ger man reparations really is, no-1 body who read the Frank H. Si-1 monds article in Wednesday's Advance can question. President:! Gppli.dgi; rnuat realize how re-1 mote is Such a settlement as talks of so hopefully and, appar-l ently, so sincerely. Yet ono can not escape a question as to whether the Pres-1 ident's mind did not turn to' America's foreign policy?and| a remote policy at that?be cause of reluctance to discus3 the home afTairs of the Repul>-| lie. When he became President; he dismissed foreign policy witn a curt phrase about favoringj the Harding-Hughes program in general and the World Court in particular. Now he dismisses scoundrelism and corruption at Washington with less than a gesture and, for a silent man. becomes almost voluble on for eign relations. And what, after all, does this mass of words about co-opera tion with Europe amount to? Says the Greensboro News: Let us proceed, then, to his Hum ming up of the situation: "Sound business reasons exist why we should participate In the financing of works of peace In Europe, though we have repeatedly assorted that we were not In favor of advancing funds for any military purposes. It would benefit our trade and com merce, and we especially hope that It will provide a larger market for our agricultural production. ? ? ? Besides this, there Is the humani tarian retirement, which carries such a strong appeal, and the knowledge that out of our abund ance it Is our duty to help whete help will be used for meeting Just requirements, and the promotion of a peaceful purpose." Meaning what? We don't know, and we have an uncomfortable feel ing that we were not Intended to know. It certainly Is not necessary to toll us that If the chance comes to do a profitable bit of business In Kurope we should selxe It. Neither, we hope. Is It necessary to tell us that If our neighbors are starving and we have plenty we should In common decency give them bread. Buslnesn and charity are already very much alive In America. What Is moribund Is the Impulse, so acute* ly alive whan our young men were being mangled by thousands and our money was being burnt by billions, to organlsa the world on such a foundation of honesty and justice that a repetition of the horror would . be rendered. If not Impossible, at least extremely unlikely for genera I to come. This Impulse finds ident's utterance. He has simply re stated facts so well known that they are hardly denied even by the wild est of the lunatic fringe. Then why did he talk at all? Well, here ww a luncheon at which he was scheduled to make a speech. I For obvious reaspns, there was not much to be said about the recent record of the Republican party. Nor, with Japan throwing a At a minute. I was it time to call attention to achievements of the State Depart | ment. What was left, except the1 i European situation? He Has the Punch We are yielding space today! to 0. J. Peterson, of Sampson j County, candidate for Commis-j sioner of Labor and Printing,, who in a letter under date of | April 22 addressed to the editor says: ?I certainly appreciate your en dorsement of me as a candidate for Commissioner of Labor and Printing in your editorial column of April 17, but your suggestion that I am too !ate entering the campaign Is liable, to do me harm. I am going direct ly to the people through the county papers, and the press can do its work quickly. True, the other fellows have beaten me In getting in touch with the ,,leadera," but I am not yet sure that the people have strings on them, and must do the bidding of the heelers at the polls. 1 shall give the voters a chance to consider my claims before the elec tion and hope, if they decide that I am worthy. In view of the over long tenure of the present occupant, to see them do their own voting. For tunately, a little man's vote counts as much as the big man's, and I am offering the great throngs of voters a chance to Inform themselves be-| fore the election and thus be inde-, pendent of thoee who think it their I province to decide not only for whom they shall vote but for others also, i Things look fine down here In the| Southeast. I believe I shall pile up a big majority over both candidates I in uus spciion. No, it is not too late, if the peo ple do not want to perpetuate office holding in the hands of the Char lotte convention nominees. They have done ho thus far, but I do not j believe that they have realized it.1 The people in the primaries* have! not nominated a single man for one 1 of the commisslonershlp who was j not Tight that day in th?* office, eith-; er as a hold-over from the Charlotte! convention, as a governor's appoin-l tee, or a chief cl^rk. If that thing] is to continue, the primaries would,! apparently, as well be abolished. Mr. Shipman in the announcement published by you and other pap*!*,] assumes that only a man who has | grown up in the office is capable of running it. If that is true, it is la-| mentable, since Mr. Shipman is 11a-< ble to die some day and, as a dis tinguished citizen at Raleigh last week said, "the Governor would have to fall the Legislature in spe-1 cial session to divide up the office Into sections small enough for small- ' er men to manage. O. J. PETERSON. On the basis of the foregoing, The Advarfce takes back what it i said about Peterson's chances! of winning the nomination. If, he can put into his campaign the same vigor that he puts in the foregoing letter he ought to give Mr. Shipman a real raca for the office. It's still not too late to get your ticket for the Glee Club concert at the high school audi torium tonight. Here's an en-1 tertainment really worth while, i Let's show that Elizabeth City' appreciates the best. Edenton last night gave the club packed house. Surely we have as good a town as Edenton. The plea for law observance rather than law enforcement and as a means toward law en forcement is a new note in pro hibition propaganda but an al together timely one. Not your editor since 1882 but preparing for the job ever since then, thank you. We'd think it pie to get caught in the rain at Jarvis Iburg.

"Here?take this package P. D. Q.?" said the boas. "Yes suh," replied the carrier, with sweat dropping from his nose and his lower lip dropping abnormally low, "I knows right where he lives."

I Politics and speaking switch mv( mind off railroad tracks and give mei the greatest relaxation. I haven't taken up golf because that's purely physical diversion. I'll take It up when I get to bo 100." He said it with a chuckle, as though Implying that golf Is an old man's game. Haying shaken hands prohab!/ tnore people than any llvihgl Yuan, Mr. Depew denounced the cus-l torn of demanding that Presidents shake hands as "barbarous." "General Grant said to me once when his hand was sore from con tinual levees at the White House. |'Depew, you shake hands with a great many people. How does It hap ipen that your hands are not sore? ; I fxplalped that the only way Is to anas** me oilier leiiow s hand first. I Thorp are some men who have grips i that crush the knuckles like a vise.' I suffered until I learned that the! only way is grab the other man's hand suddenly heforo he quite ex pects you to, press it and drop it | before he knows it.
