JANUARY 29, 1916 me government or Mexico now seems to be wherever the president happens t- hang his hat We (print the war stories as they are sent to us but you will have to guess at the truth of them. iiven if the city manager plan ie not tin Improvement over the present sys lem it can not be much worse. Of course the legislature is not put Ting off action on the prohibition mat ter because it hates to tackle it. If Raleigh gets a postmaster that suits the politicians and the city it should be satisfactory to the rest of us. If the legislative finance committee can settle the matter without borrow fng money they will have done a good work. But did you ever know an important appointment to be made unless there was more or less trading done before' hand. We sometimes think that very little of this demand for child labor legisla tion comes -from the people directly interested. li the women can get any satisfac- ntlo out of being notaries public we do not suppose there wiJl be a kick from anybody else. Those Raeligh politicians should be careful not to keep up the postofflce fight long enough to allow a republi can hold-over. Ther has ibeen considerable talk of hard times, still we have not noticed IhaFany of the things we have to buy bae dropped in price. Certainly the army is not sufficient to cope with the armies of Europe and It would not be if increased to the number suggested. -The business interests of the coun try. hare bad time in which to estab lish a merchant marine if they had been inclined that way. If it is a fact that the state's affairs are not being conducted in a business like way the duty of the legislature would seem to be plain. It Is up to the legislature to pass the right kind of prohibition laws and up to the officials of the counties and towns to enforce them. 'The republicans may want a mer chant marine, yet it appears that they prefer that some one should get a rake-off in the transaction. K should be remembered, though, that if demorra'.s had formed the habit of sticking to democrats Mr. Bryan might not have been in the cabinet. On the surface it appeared that all Mr. Wooten had to do was to walk up aai take the speakership, although sonn trading might have been done. You do not want to think that the city manager would have an easy Job of It One of the hard things he is going to have to do is to hold his Job. "The real prohibitionists want a law prohibiting Its shipment into the state even if some others who supported the movement do not feel that way about It r It is all right for the town to employ detectives to work on the blind tigers, but it seems to us that this work should not be delegated to eighteen-year-old boys. Charitably Inclined. ureat charity and benefaction are fading shown by the republican leaders in not wanting the democratic party to injure itself by passing the . ship purchase bill. Wilmington Dispatch. For Harmony. Do we want harmony? No! Ye-e-s-s! The yesses seem to have it. Well :hen, let's quit agitating and regulat ing for a while and recognize the nec essity of making concessions as to jur differences. Otherwise we will have two hostile partisan camps in vhich there will be no spirit of com promise. Wilmington Star. A Democratic Objection. The argument is frequently made that a primary will not cure every thing. Quite right. But if it cures ven half it will be a big improvement. One objection to it la that it causes democrats to fight democrats instead of the common enemy. And it takes "heaps" of, money on the part of the candidate. Greensboro Record. Ask for Admission to the New Night School in Edgemont OTHERS ARE EXPECTED Mr. Upchurch Believes Tha This Number Will Be In creased This Week A Good Sign. "Mis-teer Sneeker.

WUI Be for It. The Charlotte Observer rather takes a whack at the report of tne state board of internal improvements "the Montcastle-Webb report" but would the Observer minimize their work?

The state traesurer is merely human, but ho will be glad to adopt a system of bookkeeping to conform to the ideas of business. He will not oppose extern that wj'-fld save the state money, but will welcome it. Raleigh Times. Tote Fair. The legislature should not stand back on 'giving the little short lines of ailroads all over the eastern part or the state the relief they ask lor irons the oppressive effects of the long and short haul clause of the state law And the next step it should take would be to help the western counties to hr'.ld the railroads to de some short ind lone hauling of freight and pas- mt- I.J. seneers in tnat section, me ips lature could afford to pass out relief with one hand and help witn me other.

Homes in this country for a million and a half of Belgian refugees is the plan of Du gald Macfayden, who arrived in Wash ington recently with letters of intro duction from distinguished- men abroad. the Belgian legation here and also Mr. Mcfayden has conferred with with prominent philanthropists. The Belgian minister has received no in-; 8tructions from his government in re- j gard to the project, but ihe is in Sym pathy with all efforts for the relief of his fellow countrymen. j The supporters of :lhe Belgian refu gees' relief movement favor the es tablishment of communities of "the refugees in the unoccupied sections of the west and the south. They point out that the colony plan is the most desirable, because it will mean home-like conditions by enab- ling the refugees to have neighbors of their own nationality and occupa-. tion. . Discussing his scheme. Mr. Macfay den said: "It must be evident to the people of America that at present Belgium re-1 lief is only postponing from day to day the pressure of starvation. "Among the refugees in London there are many who can think of no future except a return to Belgium and an attempt to rebuild their hoirfs. which have been ruthlessly destroyed. Others are looking for an opening in a new land. "The Belgian people are as a whole as thrifty, clean, industrious and will ing workers as any that are found in Europe. But they arc essentially a community. "If they come over here as in li vidual waifs and strays they prrb. aM-- will succumb to the strancrt of their new surroundings dt i t vn the foreign quarters of large v' i. and add a fresh element to mi cv .-. stocked market for casual labor. "If they could come over nere communities agriculturists, shop keepers, clerks, teachers, headwork- 1 ,i 11 1 ers. and nanaworiters logeiuer m something like their old reltaionships, they would find it much easier to 'make good.' and they probably would add much more positive and useful element to the life of the United States. Such a migration of communities to Am;ica would not seriously inter fere with the repopulation of Belgium when that becomes possible. f "Belgium was a densely populated country about equal to Massachusetts md one-third more. A dense popula tion can live on a narrow strip 01 ground when it grows there but once disturbed, it is very difficult to get it baclc 'It will be many years before Bel gium, 1s in a condition to support the same numb: r of people as it maintain ed hefnrn the war. While we are waiting for that there is almost time to create a new Belgium on this side of the Atlantic. There are in the southern states, In the west and in Canada eonsmer able tracts of land which mignt De used for Belgian settlements. There are also many patriotic and philanthropic Americans ready to ad- ance capital with' the object or neip- ng ne Belgians ana ei me adding a valuable element to the pop ulation of the United States. "But at present there is one ob stacle to th's happy consummation thi immigration laws. These laws were not passed for such an emer gency as this. They did not contem nlate the possibility of a community migration, and at present they effectu ally close the door of hope to those who would like to help the . Belgians to begin again. "Here the people are the source or law, and it remains tor tnem to givt xpression to their humanitarian sym- nathies in such a way as to mane these sympathies really effective in helping s distressed people. The situation is one without prece dent in history. There is no paraiiei showing what should be done with, a population of a million and a half sud denly divorced from its home, its ork and its means of livelihood. er This Time It's Lace Curtains Several Hundred Pairs to be Sold at One Third Less Than Regular Price This Is ci Fine Opportunity for Boarding Houses -and Private Homes. -Hotels This sale will be conducted on the first floor, where all the curuuns r.l be displayed for satisfactory selection.
