NOW FOR THE PENCIL PUSHERS
Movement on, Foot to Land 1910 Con
vention for Wrightsvllle Beacn
Hotels Asked for Races-Htiitl,:
zens Interested in Meeting. V
The officers of the Commercial Club,
the active auxiliary, of . the Chamber
of Commerce,' have started' a move
ment to land the 1910 convention, of
the North Carolina Press Association,
composed , of a majority of the most
prominent ami influential newspaper
men of the', State, and tb.e' citizens who
have been, spoken to have, evidenced
great interest.
The executive committee-' of the. as
sociation met" in " Greensboro Wednes
day torl the- purpose of considering
the question of time and place for
the next meeting, vbut it was; 'decided
to defer action until March ICth,
when another meeting will be held
In the Gate City. The meeting will
be held at 10' A. " M. .on the 16th of
March at Hotel Hufflne, when, tht
' Greensboro Telegram says, "it is ex
pected that Invitations and induce
ments will have come In from several
places anxious to get the meeting."
The phraseology leaves one ;unuer
the Impression that no selection was
made Wednesday for the very good
reason that tew, if any, Invitations
had been received to date. This fact.
taken together with the inducements
the city has to otter in the way of
the best seaside resort in the South,
causes the officers of the Commercial
Club to believe f that if the proper
effort is put forth' the -next convention
can be secured for Wxightsville. Mr.
Chas. X. Evans, cashier of the South
v;hT Rank d "nrP Jdfint f
National Bank, and 'president or,
em
the, Commercial Clublast evening ad
dressed letters to Mr. Edgar L. .Hin
ton, manager of the Seashore Hotel,
and Mt. W. J.' Moore manager of the
Tarrymoore Hotel, asking what rate
they would give the newspaper, men
provided the executive committee
should take favorable action upon an
invitation to meet- here. An early vre;
ply is expected and when this infor
mation is in hand the officers of the
club will be in better position to' ex
tend an invitation. The pencil push
ers will not be invited, however, un
less the hotels are willing to grant a
low rate, such as has been given in
every city where the conventions have
been held, and the citizens display suf
fficient Interest. Aside from the fact
that it would be a great pleasure and
privilege to entertain the muolder3 of
public opinion, there is another ad
vantage that should have no little
consideration. The newspaper men,
enthusiastic .over their 'reception,
would return to their desks and' write
columns about Wilmington . and - lta
splendid resort. Looking at it purely
from a mercenary standpoint thereon
vention would be worth to the 'city
and beach many times the amount
required to entertain the visitors.
.Should an invitation be extended ana
be favorably acted' upon by the execu
tive committee there is no doubt but
that such - entertainments would - be
provided that would cause the visitors
to declare,, in departing, that they were
nerer more warmly received nor more
royally .entertained. ' Among the ;fea
tures would . probably be. a :ig" dance
at Lumina, a trip down the river, a
smoker at one of the beach hotels,
automobile drives, - etc r The whole
State is interested In the 3Moot chan
nel project and the trip down the
river would give the editors a fine
opportunity for observation. ;
There are already booked for . this
Summer the North Carolina Medical
Society, North Carolina Dental Socie
ty. North Carolina Bar Association,
Grand Council of the Carolinas of the
X'. C. T. and other conventions -with
fairly good prospects for securing the
State Bankers', Association. The North
Carolina Press Association "would

Board of Audit and Finance in regular
semi-monthly session last night,:, and
the property will t not therefore, be

The bdard was divided as to advisa
bility pf , purchasing the property,, Mes
srs. cooper and Tlencken favoring and
Messrs! :Heyer ;andr Wilder ' being
against Mr.. H. C. McQueen, the oth
er member of the board . had tint r.
rived when the resolution came up for
tne consideration of the body. In stat
lng. his position relative to the pur
chase of the property, Chairman Hey-
er said that in the first place the city
did not have the money, all the avail
able funds are needed for internal im
provements; in, the second place, the
people whose taxes would pay for the
property go to the beaches for their
rest and recreation; in the third place,
the property is not sufficient in size to
afford a park and would necessitate a
large outlay of money to make needed
Improvements.; ' He also referred . to
the idea of some to late use the prop
erty for a school building and stated
that he did -not consider it a desira
ble location for a school, besides most
of those. living in that section are just
outsIie ,the,city. limits. , Mr. Tien
tAWVfTV r , , .,
cken.in presenting his views1 said
that , as the city was not going to use
the : $5,500 appropriated for the erec
tion of a bridge across the railroad
tracks at Sixth street, he would favor

The people, he : said, were clamoring
for a park of some kind and the pur
chase -or tne property - would "certain

ures named. 1 He took the view that all
of the city's money would be spent
anyway and that the board might as
well .invest some of jt in something
that' would show for itself later. Mr,
Cooper concurred with Mr. Tlencken
in his statement with reference to te
need of a park and thought the pur
chase of the property in question
would be a , good , investment. The
board being equally divided the propo
sitlon was declared by Chairman Hey-
er to have 'been losL
After Assistant City , Clerk and
Treasurer C.; H. White had explained
to the 'board the necessity for the em
ployment of a poll tax collector at this
season of the year the board concurr
ed with the, aldermanic body in mak
ing an appropriation of 9100 for a con
tinuance of the. services of Wt'. W. H.

said 'that the",' employment of a col
lector meant a. saving to the city of

after he had 'made an explanation
they, easily recognized the importance
or employing a person for tne specia
work. .
The formal resolution authorizing
the sale of $100,000 street improve
ment bonds to N. W, Halsey & Co.,

over from the Board of Aldermen, re

Raleigh is also after the next meeting
and will probably make a strong fight.
However, the local Juniors express con
fidence that they will be able to lana
the meeting in spite of the opposition
of Raleigh. ; a
WILMINGTON BRANCH SOCIETY
For Settlement of International
putes Will be Formed.
. It was announced yesterday .by those
behind the movement to form: a -Wilmington
branch of the American Soci
ety for the Judicial Settlement of In-
ernational Dispute that a mass meet-
has: of citizens would probably be neld
on February 25th for the purpose of
perfecting the organization. The place
of meeting has not been selected but
will probablybe in the Academy of Mu
sic. At a meeting of representative
citizens a few days ago Mr. Theodore
Marburg, of Baltimore, was present
and at that" time it was decided to hold
a mass meeting at a later date to per
fect a local organization., The move
ment has been endorsed by many
'prominent men throughout the coun
try. The following is a copy or a let
ter received by Mr. Marburg from Sen
ator Elihu Root:
-United States Senate, Washington,
February 2, 1910..
Dear Mr. Marburg: I beg to say to
your guests that I sympathize very
strongly, with their objecti and believe
that the proposed organization ia
adapted to render a great public ser-
vice- 1 aS8unie tne new organize
tion 18 to nave a definite, specific ob-
ject which may be indicated by empha-
sizing the word "juflicial" in its title,
to Indicate a distinction between that
kind of settlement of InternaUonal dis
putes and the ordinary arbitration as
it has been understood in the past and
. J i- A I cama
putes between nations shall be settled
by judges acting under ; the judicial
sense of honorable obligation with a
udicial idea of impartiality rather than
by diplomats, acting under me diplo
matic ideas of honorable obligation anq
eeling bound to negotiate a settlement
ather than to pass without fear, or fa
vor uoon Questions of fact and law. It
eems to me that such a change in the
fundamental idea of what an arbitra
tion should be is essential to any very
great further extension of the idea of
arbitration. I have peen-much surpris
ed., however, to see how many people
stthere are of ability and force who do
not agree with this idea at all, particu
larly p.eopla on the other side . of the
Atlantic. .? .The extraordinary scope of
judicial powei in this country has ac
customed lis to see 'the operations of
government and: questions arising be
tween sovereign states submitted to
judges, who apply the test of conformi
ty to establish principles and rules of
condtfet embodied in our constitutions.
It seems natural and proper to us that
the conduct; of ; government affecting
substantial rights, and not depending
upon questions of policy should "be
passed upon by the courts when occa
sion arises. v It is easy," therefore, for
Americans to grasp the idea, that the
same, method of settlement should be
applied to questions growing 'out of the
Lfconduct of nations and not involving
questions of policy. , "
' In . countries, ' however, where the
courts exercise no sucb power, the idea
is quite a new one to most people, and
if it is to prevail, there must be ia pro
cess of education. Such , a process
will naturally receive Its chief im
pulse in the United States, and I hope
ydur hew society will give such an im
pulse with vigor and accurate direction.
