One of the most influential men In town did hot have influence enough yesterday to g'efr a pound of sugar. In fluence has played out. The one effective way to build up American commerce and develop a nar tional ocean and rail- transportation system would' be to cut out-the long haul railroad custom that has built up certain ports and discriminated against others to the extent that they have had no opportunity to develop their possibilities. The old system has re sulted in the over-development of a few, ports, with the result that the war in Europe very quickly congest ed every first and second rate port on the Atlantic. The nation's ocean and rail transpor tation system heretofore existing has simply collapsed, and that is all there is to it. It has failed to meet the needs of the tremendous export business of this country, and the evidence of it Is a few hopelessly congested ports to which the commerce of a nation of 100,000,000 population has been rushed regardless of sound transportation economics. The necessity for relieving the con gested ports has brought a problem to the government, and. as a matter of course, it is the whole country's prob lem a very grave, one, too. Even the government seems at a loss how to remedy the situation in Washington, The Hon. A. W. McLean, national dem ocratic committeeman for North Caro lina advocates a remedy in the way of utilizing the "".ports of Wilmington. Charleston, and Savannah for exports in order to take some of the burden off the ports that have more business than they can. handle. With refer ence to Mr. McLean's suggestion, Mr. Parker R. Anderson, the well known Washington newspaper correspondent, writes: "One way of relieving the congested railroad traffic, according to Demo cratic National Committeeman A. W. McLean, would be to utilize the ports at Wilmington, Charleston and Savan nah for the exportation of many arti cles now being sent and received by rail at the eastern ports. If this plan is adopted, Mr. McLean said, it would greatly relieve the terminals in New York and other northern ports, and at the same time relieve the railroads by having the goods delivered and receiv ed at nearer ports instead of hauling them all the way -to New York, Phil adelphia and other points." Mr. McLean called attention ' to the ample depth of water at the port of Wilmington for the handling of such ; ships as are engaged in carrying mu nitions and foodstuffs for the armies in Europe. It was his idea, at least, that exports being hauled from South ern" ports to New York, Philadelphia and other North Atlantic ports could just as well be handled at South At lantic ports instead, of railing them all the way to ports already congested, i Of course, there Is merit in Mr. Mc Lean's suggestlo. and the Fayetteville Observer thinks this of it: "Mr. McLean has spoken to the point. We read in a newspaper not very long since that the ports of Wilmington, Charleston and Savannah had been hit hard by lack of business since the be ginning of the war, but we cannot im agine what excuse can be made for not utilizing them for exportation, as Mr. McLean suggests. "Something drastic must be done' without a doubt; the railroads have more business than they can handle now, and to have them transport goods hundreds and often thousands of -miles, to a Northern or Eastern port when there are three Southern ports near at hand, seems poor management." The government has failed to develop Southern ports as it should have done on a national scale, but these ports do possess certain facilities that would be of service to the government at this time, but theA government can't do it all. These ports could have long ago handled some of the country's exports, but it requires the organization that has never been attempted at a single one of the South Atlantic ports. So far as commerce Is concerned, the gov ernment can dp jery. little for Southern ports without, the -very necessary co operation on the" part of the ports themselves. If Mr. McLean's suggestion 'can not be carried out, why not? In answer ing that question, the ports have a chance to make a study that will be worth something to them. " It is cu rious, indeed, that they have not long since done so. It is the ports that ought to do something "drastic." It is up to them more than it is up to the government. One of the pessimistio announce-' ments from Washington a few .days ago was ; to the effect that the iron trade is tvow faced wiui a famine tn iron ores because the country's mines are not yielding the requisite needs of raw supplies. The iron trade, it is said, Is "'living from hand to 'mouth,'1 but the Charlotte Observer does not see any use for any such a situation as hat when the ore beds of North Caro line are but waiting for the enterprise and capital to ; make them yield their stored treasures for the national need. The Observer says: "There might be reason why" the country should be short of cotton or wheat or any product dependent upon labor capacity to bring into evidence, but there is no reason why there should be a shortage in the supply of iron. Piedmont and western North Carolina can supply the needs of the nation in both times of peace and war. If the government will send out its geologi- cal and mineral experts on an investi-j gating tour of Lincoln,; Burke, Wilkes, Watauga, Avery, Ashe, 'Alleghaney and neighboring counties they would be un- j doubtedly able to uncover iron mines I the operation of which -would not only I serve to relieve the existing shortage but establish a supply that would be proof against exhaustion for years to come. " "If the war shall force a somewhat short-sighted government, to make in vestigation Into the mineral and geol ogical possibilities awaiting develop ment in North Carolina it will have done one good turn for this country. The region we have described Is a nat ural storehouse for iron, coal, gold, copper, monazlte, metallic zinc, man ganese, hallosite, galena, feldspar, magnetic hematite, limonite and llme nite, alum, potash spar, tin with ilem- of clays, quartz, kaolin in abundance, ! beryl, garnet and abrasive minerals, all in commercial quantities. But wo, should think it Is the iron and coal field development that should be of j immediate interest to the government. Both are here in vast quantities if the government needs them." Editor Harris has seen enough of North Carolina's mineral prospects to warrant every word he says. What he says will surprise many people, but it does not surprise us. The hidden wealth in North Carolina is immense, and now seems to be the time when capital should be forthcoming to util ize this state's resources. There ought to be a great Iron mining industry in North Carolina, and there would be if a railroad were run from the east into the mountain region of the northwest ern portion of the State. As it is, iron ores from North Carolina are being railed to Johnson City, Tenn., where a considerably iron industry has sprung up. If there really exists the Iron ore shortage that Is reported from Wash ington, now would be a good time-to esiduiini smelting, worss ai iiib port j of Wilmington-Southport ior utilizing j the vastoresupplies from Cuba and J Venezuela. Philaclelphla has a plant) for reducing these ores, but the place to do it is on the South Atlantic, where the ports are nearest the raw supply. Some day, perhaps, somebody will think of this.' fiv 77.D VCfVo II s- "Gan I get a pound of sugar?" a cus-j tomer suggested rather than asked, yesterday of his regular grocer. "Sorry, but we ran out Saturday," was the re Ply. "A car has just arrived though." An old negro man limped 1n. "Kin I git some sugar?;' "Therms all, the sweetness we got," said a salesman, waiving his hand over a counter piled high with all sorts of candies. Maybe when Americans get enough of coffee without sweetening, they w.Hl cut down on un essential sweetness, in the form of can dies and so forth. their bayonets in babies. ; Indemnities , would have been levied if there was anybody or -anything left to lay them j on. It Is - possible that the ' Moslem : mosques would have been spared in def- erence to mine friendt, der sultan. It's . only judging them by what they have done where civilization bloomed far more richly than it does in. Jerusalem, CURRENT COMMENT The public mind has been prepared for "shortages." Short sugar, short coal, short wood, short everything, have been expected. But for all that isn't it the most amazing thing in the world that this teeming country should be short of any product, no matter what demands might be made upon it? The idea ot America being short of fuel! With coal enough to heat hades for a thousand years as hot as the devil himself might want it; and wood enough to make a- bonfire reaching to heaven. Wilmington, for instance, where you can stand in an office win dow and see miles of trees stretching without end and where a natural high way of commerce iike the rivers, reach ing miles back into the wooded coun try and no wood! It's a. funny thing. Abundance oi what people need right at their doors, and yet a famine. Speaking of sugar, a wholesaler who knows the inwardness of the sugar sit uation, declared yesterday that with all due respect for Mr. Hoover, whose position he fully appreciated, Mr. Hoo ver didn't know all about the manipu lations that the big refineries had been carrying on. He sided with Claus fc-preckles. "Mr. Hoover has declared that during October and November we had 70 per cent of the normal supply of sugar. The Wilmington section, which has. been supplied- from New York and-Philadelphia refineries, didn't have 10 per cent of its normal supply. If it hadn't been for B. IL Howell, Son and Company, Wilmington wouldn't have had a pound of sugar. The Amer ican refinery throughout thi3 period has quoted sugar at less than its com petitors, but it didnt fill orders. It would book them at the lower price, subject to indefinite delay, and shipped no sugar. I paid more ;or the sugar I received from the Howell company, but the point is, I got the sugar. The American sought to, make the impres sion that it was holding down prices, when as a matter of fact it was demor alizing the market, and if we had been at the absolute mercy of the Ameri can we wouldn't have had a grain of sugar. Their t policy of apparent low prices but no sugar would have result ed in a Barmacide feast if the Wilming ton section had been solely dependent upon them." Gordoii H. Cilley, advertising man ager of the Philadelphia store of John Wanamaker, announces that it is plan ned to use this season double the amount of advertising space used last season. This policy is adopted in or der to overcome selling handicaps im posed by war conditions, to properly educate people as to. the new complex- ! ion of buying problems and to estab lish the great store still more firmly in public esteem as a service institu tion. Editor and Publisher. Whatever may be developed in the denouement of the tragedy on East avenue' when little Charles Aushland was run over and killed and left lying unattended on the snow, the people of this community for the present stand ashamed and shocked that such bru tality should occur in a civilized city. It is one of those things that make one's blood boil at the sheer heart lessness of him who is guilty of such infamy and atrocious madness. The! accident itself is- of sufficient nature to arouse one's deepest sympathies, but j when It is accompanied by a species j of inhumanity such as is to be wit-j nessed in the consequent heedlessness s of the guilty party, wraith is hard to ! restrain. The detective forces of this city and any civilian who can help in the enterprise have a duty thrust upon them to hunt down the man who did this vile thing and to see that justice be swiftly dispensed in his case. The Charlotte News. HEREBY HANGS A NARRATIVE. OPENING A CAROLINA TIN MINE The Kings Mountain "Herald states that the Groves Mining: Corporation has been chartered and has extensive plans for operating the tin mines hear the town of Kings Mountain, in this State. The. corporation is capitalized at $100,000," and Mr. George S. Groves has arrived from Baltimore to begin mining operations. Mr. Groves knew about the tin prospects at Kings Moun tain, and interested a number of New York men to join him In developing the extensive tin fields around Kings Mountain. It is said that abundant capital is back of this mining propo sition, the .one thing that has always been lacking in North Carilina mining enterprises. Our earth -is anxious to communi cate 'with Mars, hut if Mars knows when she is getting along all right she will answer no signals from us.

Florida raises an immense lot of corn and then buys a lot from Chicago just as North Carolina docs. Just why any corn has to be bought from a great city to supply the country, we may partly judge from this editorial para graph in the Milton (Fla.) Gazette: "It is reported from reliable sources that Florida corn is topping the mar ket in Chicago, bringing higher prices than corn from any other section of the United States. This in spite of the assertion that Florida corn is not equal to that of the middle West. Yes, Flor ida is destined to become one of the nation's greatest corn producing states." Why should Chicago buy corn in Florida, when Florida ought to bu all her own corn herself before Chicago gets a chance at it? Of course, Florida corn is better than Western corn, and Chicago knows It as well as wo do. That is the reason Chicago buys South ern corn and then ships western corn to the South. Chicago knows corn that matures fully in , the open fields and does not have to be kiln dried is the best. However, Chicago ought not to, have been' allowed to have any Southern corn, but there is . a reason that she does buy it. She has grain eelvators and has a method for the concentra tion of .corn for commercial and mill ing use. ' We thought Jacksonville was going to put up an elevator and become a market for corn. An elevator' com pany in our Southern cities would en able them to handle either Southern or Westrn grains, but they can not do so to advantage till they go into the ele vator business.1 Chicago will take all our corn and make all the money out of it so long as we let 'her do it.-' She does business. Any Southern port that had a grain elevator could handle lots of the food exports for the Allies., SHIPBUILDING CONCERN ADDS -918,SGO,000 TO ITS CAPITAL : Dover, Del., Deo. 17. The Puzy & Jones company a large shipbuilding concern of Wilmington, today filed a certificate with the state department permitting an increase of capital -from ?1,200,000 to $20,000,000. The increase will make it possible to completer; the. proposed ; merger of the Pennsylvania Shipbuilding Company and the ' New Jersey Shipbuilding Company, "both of Gloucester, N. J., with the Ltizy & Jones concern, resulting in a large increase in output. PRESIDENT WRITES BRYAN Refutes Statement That Former, Sec retary Was Asked to Resign. - Washington, Dec: 17 -President Wilsqn has written former Secretary Bryan a letter to refute the frequent ly published statement that he asked, for the secretary's resignation because of ; the, celebrated so-called Dumba con versation in which Mr. Bryan, ? after the sending of the Lusitanla note, is said to-have informed the former Au strain ambassador not, to take it too seriously. It will be recalled that Spreckles charged the heads of the American and California-Hawaiian refineries, who are Hoover's sugar administrators, had been. unduly active in grabbing off raw sugar, and. he charged that raw sugar was passing through New York to Canada where prices were higher; and that certain chain stores nad sugar to sell when nobody else could get it; that American refineries specialize in gran ulated in shapes, the price of which is not fixed. The Wilmington whole saler says Mr. Hoover Is doing the best he can but that .when he says the i people during the. last sixty days have had 70' per cent of their normal supply, he is dead wrong; and he charges up the local situation to sugar manipula tion, and declares that if it hadn't been for the Howell concern, all this sec tion would nave been sugarless. Yes terday a car load came In from New,1 Orleans that had been shipped for 30 days showing .how slow the stuff moves. An article in The New Republic has something to say about "The Educa tion of the Future," and in it we' find this keynote: "The spirit, individual or social, is a living thing, by its name and by its nature, a flame that burns, and it must in degree make the world over for itself or it is not spirit." That is to say it is an active agent for good, and yet in our scheme of education we push it aside, for muscle and style, for "cypherin' and parsin," and let this grandest of human forces go to waste, because we don't know how to streng then and train it. Right there is the issue of the coming education which would turn to the personality of citi zenship more and to materialism less. The end of education's the making of true men and women, not merely schol arship or learning. These often stand in the way of true education, which looks to the triumph of the soul. We don't know how it is, done, we are told. But there is where the duty of the real educator comes in. He must be an inspiring, uplifting man or wo man. He must get away from the old professional ideas that have everything to do with knowledge, and get' into the arena where aspiration, intuition and God's meaning in the w-orld have their appropriate sway. That is the only way to save the nation and de velop its potencies in the direction of a noble destiny. To this end we must employ, what the writer says, the "flame that burns." Ohio State Journal. The Corbett Co., Wholesale Distributors, Wilmington DR. HURT THINKS CLOSING CHURCHES AT NIGHT UNWISE And speaking about wood although the city business district was throng ed yesterday with Christmas shoppers, home shoppers and outsiders, and al though the elegantly adorned shops were full of elegantly dressed buyers and all was bright and lovely along the nifty marts, the cold,, black-mucky water front was where the human in terest shopping went on. The prole tariat was down there hunting the wherewith to keep itself warm, and the north wind getting colder every minute. The proletariat was a-hunting wood and now and then a denizen of the avenues daintily picked his way, half apologetically, through the wood yards. "Nothing doin'," said first one king of a cord and a sajv, and then an other. "I have eighty loads booked and I doubt if I can fill the orders I have now. No, I cant promise it to morrow, or Wednesday." Men stood around a moment and gazed at the saw and the cute little lengths of poles and knots and crooks, as if just looking at them had heat in it. Never did squir rel limbs and saplings look so good. "Have you got any lump coal?" a man asked a coal dealer. "No, I have not got any lump coal," he replied, inso lently. A man with a barge load of wood or a,, load of coal is just now the greatest man in the world. "I never have stole nobody's wood," admitted one fellow; "but believe me, if this weather keep's up and I can't get some, denied if, I don't get at it!" A woman who had been out shopping ran across her husband on the street and immediately engaged him in ani mated conversation. " and I had to pay two dollars for a pair of shoes for my baby!" she exclaimed, in time for a long-eared reporter to hear her as he passed- It was the eternal ques tion cost, of living, that the couple was debating, "two . dollars for a pair of baby shoes was sensational enough for a family discussion on the streets. An hour later a newspaper man came into the office and slammed down a box of shoes; . "Eight dollars and a half," he moaned;. Vjust. think of it!" A com peer, who is. marrie-, comfortably stretched his" legs over the corner of the table, exposing a pair of substan tial but rusty. last years shoes. "I have just been reading that Colonel Vander lip says that, a . shabby overcoat in these times Jsl' a.. badge of hoh6r. I'll keep on wearing my old una, whatever it happens tp" be,"-, His. overcoat, how ever, is shabby enough to be counted two badges of honor. .The British general who captured Jerusalem entered the.

His sol diers would have had sport in sticking Believes More Fuel Would Be Saved By Having Services as Usual. To the Editor of The Star: I have read with unusual interest the letter in your issue of today from cur esteemed citizen Mr. C. C. Chad bourn. We may differ with him as to plans for conserving the public good, but all of us can afford to emulate his example in unselfish service. He sug gests as a means of fuel" conservation that we discontinue separate Sunday night services in the various churches and unite in one or more union meet ings, r cannot agree with him, In the language of Paul I would "show unto you a more excellent way." I would have the fires die down in all our homes about 7 o'clock on Sun day evenings and have all the people come together in what might be called community warming stations or, in what are called, churches. To warm up a thousand people in one body would' cost a small fractional part of what it would cost to warm the same number in a hundred or two separate groups. Iihave figured up the problem for my own church and have conclud ed that if my people will attend church on Sunday nights for the next three months they will save about 27 tons of coal. Other benefits I would not un dertake to compute now. The times before us are trying, in deed. I am deeply concerned lest we seek to settle some of .our problems at too great cost to othen vital interests. This nation never needed God more than now. Every church house in our city should be crowded' twice each . Sun day. Our religious convictions must be deep and ineradicable: our heads must be level and all our thinking straight. Our people are already one In the things of religion which are most es sential. ' Ours is not the crime of re ligious" "antagonism but the crime of religious indifference to the things on which we agree. Men give assent tp doctrines and fail to translate them in to deeds; put their names on church books but neglect to put their lives alongside their names; write their checks for goodly sums to support the churches and then nurse physical in clinations in summer , and in winter when-the churches call for red-blooded men to back up their obligations. I honor my good brother's views and I honor his example, but I am con strained to believe, in consideration of fundamental human frailty as exhibit ed in history, that such union meetings would be attended mostly by faithful souls of the church that is open, whils glowing fires would minister to the spiritual lethargy of hundreds who re main at home.
