A THE ROANOKE BEACON C. V. W. AUSBON Editor, ; JFubU,her. c. S. AUSBON PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY. Plymouth, N. C, Friday, February 16, 1917. FOR THE CHILDREN. I ing up boldly in the fiht against some alleged right charged as We are much pleased with the 'taken from the electorate, We manner ia which our business; ere yet to be convinced that men as a whole are looking upon j there is any real desire among the coming County Commence- j the people generally to drag the ment. They seem to see the great benefits deriving from such occasions, and have promis ed their united support in ar ranging for the 1917 affair to be held on the 30th cf March. At a meeting of the Commer cial Club on Monday night the question was discussed in a most enthusiastic manner, and it ap peared as if each person present was anxious to offer the most generous and liberal suggestions for the entertainment of the school children on the day that they will visit us. These sug gestions were not idly m?.de, for each one was backed by a mani fest willingness to support the suggestion with a vim. Various committees were ap pointed to look after the differ ent retails connected with the public schools into the bitterness of partisan politics. Of course we know that Republicans, now estopped from any control of the schools, want to put their .hands on them, but the Democracy is right in declining to agree to any such procecjure. It knows the present by the past. As lonas men think they need an "issue" upon which to go to the people for their votes we expect to hear of agitation upon any and all subjects. But we are going to continue to hope that the people of North Caro lina will use their abundant com mon sense and keep these peo ple from "disrupting a public i school system that admittedly has done a great service for the children of the State.
