If you have been waiting to get Josephus Daniels' life of Woodrow Wilson until you could get it from The Advance, your copy is now ready for you at The Advance office. Rather belatedly The Ad vance rises to remark that the best issue of The Edenton News that ever came to our desk was that of Thursday, May 1, got| out by the members of the class' in journalism of Edenton high school. > Having for ourself seen and heard Josiah William Bailey in action we are bound to confess that we neither saw nor heard anything calculated to wreck the Democratic party or event to make it worth the while of Colonel Ike Meekins to come all the way from New York City to listen in on him; that if, of course, if the Colonel's object Was to get thunder for his own campaign. The New Traffic Cop The Suffolk News of Friday had the following to say editor ially on the decision of the Pas quotank County Commissioners to employ a motorcycle trafT:c cop, and since the employment of such an officer and his round up of offenders in Saturday morning's court, the editorial is perhaps of even more interest here: Pasquotank County, North Caro lina, according to the Elisabeth Cltv Advance, hu decided to resume the ssrvlces of motor traffic policemen, or "cops" as they are commonly called. Frequent violations of law on the part of motorist* who are eharged with being drunk on the roads and making life miserable for other people, are assumed as reasons for putting these traffic officers on the roads leading Into Elliabeth City. The light for the restoration of these officers was led by a mem? ber of the board of commissioners who aald that "churches complain of the continual roar of speeding au tomobiles by their doors. Almost any Bunday afternoon you can see from Sight to ten automobiles with every person In them drunk. They feel that they cannot get drunk In town ?0 they go to the country to drink," continued the commissioner. Then another member opposing the employment of traffic officers gave his reasons for his position. He asked his colleagues what good It would do to spend the people s mnn ey to have arrests made when they are brought up and convicted after which they sre let off with (utyment fines. The crux of the whole thins was that maglstrstes and of failed to enforce the laws and looking mainly after the fees It Is possible to collect from vlo i of law. Instead of being traf Wlssn to regulate traffic on th.? hways they are arresting officers fess. board referred to finally ?d to employ an officer whose County Commencement Proves Complete Success Increase in Educational Interest in Pasquotank Shown in Fine Program, Report* and Exhibits from Colored Schools Much Credit Given County Supervisor m Do you un iMtii labour boMtl They ere dangeroue.1 In BoatoM.fa burglar uaed the ilwU to tie ? man. ? ? ?

To our mind the above duties as suggested by the Pasquotank com missioner. should be the sphere of the traffic officer. He Is to see that traffic is regulated and not to arrest every man, native or stranger, who chances to break one of the regula tions through ignorance or other wise. The law was never made to apply summarily to the accidental violator. It was Intended to deal se-I verely with the drunken driver, the reckless speeder and the deliberate, and wilful violator. The traffic off!-; cer's presence on the liigliway at all-, times, patrollng It and watching for flagrant violators of the state law; will have a far more salutary influ ence than making promiscuous ar-1 rests for minor offenses. Traffic po licemen should be on a straight sal-, iry like policemen In the cities and j then the temptation to become petty! arresting officers would be avoided. I Hut magistrates should not he con-| tent merely to collect fines when of-1 fenders are brought before them but! to enforce the law In the severest manner when the circumstances Jus tify It. Arresting men primarily for what is In It for the arresting officers find fining them simply to collect fines is unfair and distasteful to the public as well as open contempt of Lhe spirit of the law.
