It , makes some folk mad. It ought to ' enable them to know a joke when they see one. - Who had any idea that- s-o many men have been lying awake o nights imag ining that it's about their time to be governor of the great state of North Carolina? Get the Yule log ready to be lighted. Can't you almost hear the approach of somebody with white whiskers and good things and pretty things and toys of all kinds?

Daniel Webster uttered this truism: If a thing carir be done, an ingenius man can tell how it is to be done." ,Well, that's one more argument that ought to reconcile Teddy to President Wilson's presence around the peace ta ble at Veretilles. A union of all the churches is pro posed eo there will pe a universal Christian brotherhood, exemplifying "how sweet it is for brethren to dwell together." At the same time, has any of them thought up a . plan to get all the choirs to exemplify, too?

According to Noah Webster., its right name Is in trigue. An orator says: "Every man should have the right to enjoy life, linerty and the pursuit of happiness' Oh, that's all right, but some men want to enjoy life at somebody else's expense. Some want to enjoy the kind of liberty that enables them to do as they please. Some want to get out In a tin llxale and monopolize the whole pike In pur suit of happiness. Twenty years ago a North Carolin ian went out west to get rich on the Irrigated lands offered to him. Ha left here with only enough money t pay his way out west. In order to show how good fortune overtakes those who go out into the world to make their fortune, he returned to North Caro lina a few days ago with $50 In his pocket. He borrowed enough money from his North Carolina brother to get him home on and managed to save $50 of it to return to his brother, His North Carolina brother told him to keep the change, as he had netted $300 a, acre -on yellow' lsafVtoboeeo this , year T . 23. 1918 THE SOLDIER FARM PLAN. Secretary Lane's soldier farm pro position ought to afford a splendid op portunity for the owners of idle lands in Eastern Carolina but it largely de pends on land owners themselves whether Eastern Carolina can adapt itself to his .plans and actually coop erate with him in his undertaking for homesteading thousands of soldiers who are returning from Europe. They ought also to have plans that can be co-ordinated with his plans. ,. Secretary Lane has come into East ern Carolina and looked over our idle, land possibilities. Ha-has seen farms that have been developed out of our land possibilities. He has seen, farms in the first stages of development, and he has seen the land where farms ought to be and where farms can be established sooner or later. . He has seen the land without the man, - and he' has a plan to get the land and the man together. . ; s Have our land owners got a plan that.nvill co-ordinate with the secer tary's -plans? If not, why not?"- We certainly ought not to leave it all to Secretary Lane. . We certainly ought to keep in touch with him. The Ral eigh News and Observer thinks well of his patriotic and constructive un dertaking, and discusses the matter in this way: "The proposition to provide farms for the returning soldiers looks like a good thing-. It suggests so many hew phases and involves so many of the new results of war that it will be discussed thoroughly and probably put into practice. North Carolina has a lot of untilled land. If we can get away at the start from the idea . that putting soldiers on the land is a land speculation scheme that will be wise. Also if we can get away frpm the proposition that the land must be taken from the owners for nothing that, will be wise. The plain truth is that the initial cost of th- land is ah incident, and has little to do with the merits of this scheme. Land values are largely speculative, and under the government plan, as the land is not to be salable by the soldier if he gets it, the selling value is a minor con sideration. If he cannot make on the land, enough so that the first cost of the land is a small matter h&will be wise to stay off of it entirely. If he cannot make his land pay him six per cent on a valuatiqn of at least $200 an acre he makes a mistake to under take farming at all. "The price a farmer pays or his land is not what determines his cus cess or failure. So many other things enter Into the case that it is the other things that must be considered. It is because of the consideration of these other things that the proposition to put the soldiers on the land is a good one. In taking a step of this kind. the government will go far enough to see that the soldier is provided with sufficient capital and equipment to farm right. There is ah essential of success. He will be put on a farm where farming is his business and not land speculation. He will be provided with a small farm and his interest will be in what his land can produce, not what he can get for it in the years to come. The ijeal worth of a farm is what it will produce in crops. We ao not estimate farms mat wa,y at an, but by what tljey can bring1 if sold. "If the government will put soldiers on small farms and stand by them and make of them successful producers the benefits will extend to the whole com munity and will be of far greater im portance than merely providing the soldier something to do or than in ad ding to the land values of the com munity. Possibly a project of this kind might lead to a revolution of the speculative land farming and make a really business occupation." Secretary Lane recently came to Wilmington and looked over our lands with regard to their homesteading possibilities. We must not let him get away from us. We must keep in touch with him and give him all the assistance and encouragement we can. He saw many advantages, and no doubt he also saw some disadvantages that we fail to observe ourselves Doubtless we know of advantages that he overlooked. Certainly there are problems that have to be solved. Per haps he noticed some of them. Cer tainly we know some of them and also know how they can be dealt with in a manner that they may be overcome. Secretary Lane came through here rather hurriedly. He saw some of our prosperous farms, and saw some of our settlement and community pos sibilities, those capable of being brought into model shape under his plans for settlements, roads, schools, churches, community houses, farm in- j dustries, etc. He saw an opening here for community developments, but we wish he had remained over long enough to have visited Chadbourn. There he would have seen a eolony developed out of. just such land pos sibilities as he inspected. He saw farms in a state of development and in progress of development, but at Chadbourn he could seen a farm and community development, settlement where three of four thousand pros perous westerners have become pros perous. Most of the land in this section are virgin lands that have to be cleared and drained and brought into cultiva tion. They are far away Trom gobd roads, and they are not the $800 per acre development that would appeal readily to settlers If plenty of such land could he had In large traots, Chadbourn has poms uh lands but they are not for The land for sale can be developed just like these at Chadbourn, hut they have te be sold a undeveloped, land and at prices In competition with, all the millions of idle lands in gouth, Carolina, Georgia, .Florida and other states, The price of these land will be largely regulated by the price of similar larce undeveloped area In Other-" spates, A Chicago man, pmed. hi wife for meney which he leaned her, but at the trial a, learned and experienced judge decided that when A man .loans money to hi wl? il. beoeme ter, This Bhews tha feu can't foe! & Judge after he ha lived long eneugH t? find out the.; faeti v inM9;M19MM?mK MAKING A BETTER CITY. For. nearly two year we have been mostly concerned in what we could do far our nation and the world democ racy. We have helped to win the world war f 6r humanity, and now once more we will turn to the constructive things of life. After the holidays are over, shortly after the next ten days. it will be time for us to be concerned over what we can do for our respective cities and communities. With us here in Wilmington it will be what we can do for our city and the port. There is plenty to be done, and no doubt nearly every thinking man in Wilmington knows, or thinks of some one thing or other tnat we ought to turn our attention to in a united, earn est manner. Up in the growing and flourishing city of Winston-Salem tha leading citizens are suggesting various things that will make the Twin City a better and more progressive city. For one thing, Col. F. H. Fries, who has been North Carolina's able and active state director of the war savings and thrift stamps campaign, suggests through the Winston-Salem Journal that the spirit .of thrift aroused dur ing war times, be made a permanent feature afid popular'characteristic of the city's life, as thrift will make peo ple economically free and contribute very materially to their happiness and the happiness and contentment of the whole community. That is a capital suggestion. It ought to apply to every hamlet, town, city and community in North Carolina. It will be as much to the advantage of Wilmington as it will to that of Winston-Salem. Thousands of people hav learned the lesson by reason of the war and the various campaigns and "big drives" that have been launched and carried out under syste matic pressure. Some of the things that we can do for Wilmington can be launched and carried out in that same way. A SACRED COMMUNITY DUTY The sacred community duty of Wil mington during the coming month will be to unite in a whole-souled campaign to carry out the community purpose to erect a fitting memorial to commemor ate the memory of New Hanover coun ty's world war martyrs the splendid young men who have laid down their lives for the immortal cause which has triumphed because of the supreme sac rifice which such men -have made. That is the first thing in our hearts for the newyear. The plans have been made and we' wilj launch and carry out a campaign to raise a memorial fund of $25,000. It is aimed to raise the memorial fund in three days, be ginning January 17 and -concluding January 20. That is our first sacred duty of the new year, and our hearts will be in that campaign. We can not do a nobler thing for Wilmington than to commemorate the sacrifice which our own heroes have made for the glory of our city, our state, our nation and the world. We can make Wilmington a better city by uniting in the" community pur pose to honor our "Glorious Dead in the Great War," as Dr. James Sprunt used the term in behalf of the memo rial committee of the council of de fense, in the beautiful tribute card printed on the editorial page of Sun day's Star. We have learned the spirit of giving for noble causes, we have learned the lesson of unity, and we have learned the method by which we can give expression to what is best in our community. - Thi is our first community duty of the new year, and when we shall have performed it we shall keep up the un ity spirit that will, help to make Wil mington a better city in various ways. ASHEVILLES COMMUNITY HOUSE. Now that the war is over, Ashevllle proposes to again take up the pro position for the erection a community house. The. Ashevllle Times says the agitation for it ha once more come to the front and urge that it is time that active steps be taken "to make the dream of a number of Ashevllle men a reality." We should think the ladle would have more dreams about it than the men, for they have more use for a community house than any body else. In the average 'city the women litterally have . no community home that they can ' call their own. They hold hundreds of meetings a year and have to hold them any and everywhere they can get a convenient room or hall. Their societies and organisation of various kind meet in all sorts of place not suitable for thejr gatherings. They have -to held festival and entertainment where ever they can get a plaee very- of ten in a vacant storeroom, The men of a community also are in dire need of a suitable plaee for their gather lngs, eonferenoes, committee meetings and the like, The Ashevllle Beard of Trade , and the Rotary eflub bethpre pose to enter intoa campaign foT a community house fo that oity, It is a splendid idea, - v .

In every case article must be lgaed for pubi: -tion by the real name of the -riter. THIS CIVIL SERVICE EMPLOYES. To the Editor of The Star: During the tension of war time ac tivity one is prone to overlook the mer its of those Who pursue the noiseless tenor of their way, and I am taking the liberty of asking for spaoe enough in your publio forum for a brief in their behalf. The enclosed clippings are too Vo luminous to be reproduced, but a mere glance at them will show that every phase of occupation has been advanoed financially by the war. You will no tice that they range in location from San Diego. Cal., to Buffalo, N. Y., and from Toronto, Canada, to Birmingham, Ala., and include such vocations - as bakers theatrical employes, black smiths,' electricians, down to and in cluding waiters in the restaurants. In percentage, the increases run from 20 pen cent to 160 per cent, and some will run -higher. The table of. "living costs" shows that the cost of living has run, for some articles to 123 per cent increase but this story has been so oft repeated, one knows it by heart. But in all of it, the civil service, em ploye I refer to the employe who Svas in the service for years before we dreamed of fighting the Boche has had practically the same wage. I am not at liberty, of course, to cite personal instances, but I know of faithful employes who ere today re ceiving the same .salaries they received sevpn or eight years ago; and others are receiving more merely because they have been promoted to higher po sitions. The salaries of the positions to which they have been elevated have not been 'Inflated. The average person outside of the civil- service knows very little of it, end cares less. The professional poli tician cares nothing about It, because the personnel of its element cannot override his influence. But, at the same time, it is a public matter, and one should be interested in the welfare of the employe who faithfully serves his country. In standpoint of efficiency, there Is no corporation whose entire personnel can make ,a combined , percentage of effciency anywhere near the combined efficiency of the entire civil service. The actual dally effciency tests of one of the Patent Office typewriters was said to have been 99.8 per cent. If you compare the efficiency of the ac countants of the government service with those of other large organisa tions, they will Invariably come up to and surpass them in accurecy. If you will take the total number of letters handled by the postoffice department and take the number actually lost or misplaced by them, you will have a percentage that will have to be run out to about two zeros and five points more. The average of education In the en tire personnel of the civil service over reaches "the average of education In large corporation forces. This comes by being required to pass examina tions which require such learning. I make these statements in no spirit of boast, and the comparisons in no spirit of belittling others, but for the sake of showing that they are or a high grade, generally. The reason for these Doing- no great advances in salaries, is primerily, be cause the major portion of these em ployes are not voters, being in the District' of Columbia, where there is no vote; and, second, the others in the United States are so scattered that at' no one place could they make or break a candidate. At the same time, It would surprise one to know that in this vicinity, in all of the branches of the civil service, there is a total payroll of several thousand dollars monthly. One often hears it said, 'Well, their Jobs are permanent." This is a popu lar illusion. The civil service em ploye's position is permanent only as the railroad or bank employe's job is permanent. If he becomes Incapable, he is eliminated. If he becomes unne cessary, he is dropped from the rolls. If he becomes undesirable, he Is elided. If he becomes old, he is discarded. Nearly all of the big corporations of the day heve retirement or pension systems. The Western union, the Bell telephone, the Atlantic Coast Line, the Pennsylvania, Standard Oil, and son on all have s"uch provisions. But in the civil service there is no such thing. On my way to the squarehead sr&r last year, I stopped in Washington to see a friend of mine who was cnier cieric in one of the important bureaus of the war department. His salary had been $1,800. I found that he had been re duoed to $1,800 and given a minor place. "He's getting a little -bit old." they told me. He was o. Anotner friend of mine who Is an army officer. and has never been out of vie U. S., except to Panama, has been retired at a lower age than that, on three-iourtns of tihe pay of a colonel. During the war, these men nave done valuable work. It would astonish one to know how many civil service men there were In uniform In France. In the general headquarters elone there were several hundred. One of the most valuable men in the general's, off ice got $1,400 a year in faot, tnis was about the highest salary paid. But these men who worked day and night, were often in two houra' ridfl or less rrom tne front, and took the fare end lodging of soldiers, and except for tneir oiriciai deslsrnatlon. they were soldiers. But they had to be paid and carried accord ing to elvil service rules and .laws, While my brief is in a personal in terest, it Is not s inv it entirety, It i spread for the behalf of fellow work er whose integrity Is. continuous, and Wheae labor is continuously consoles tious, HERBERT H, FORD, Wilmington, Deo, 81, IBIS, GOETHALS RESPONSIBLE FOR, CONTRACTS AT HOG ISLAND San Francieoo, Oal., Dee.

In , this aspect of the case at least the governor by not de laying the appointment, has been wise. While. we are fully persuaded that had the governor seen fit to appoint Mr. Everett, of Pitt, or Mr. Friselle, of Greene, to the vacancy an able lawyer would hare been elevated to the bench yet there can be no, gainsaying the fact that in Judge Gulon the governor has chosen well without venturing in to untried fields. Judge Guion was on the Superior court bench several years ago and, we believe, was looked upon with favor by both members of the bar and laymen who had business with the court. He Is considered one of the ablest lawyers at the New Bern bar and his indorsements were all that the governor in seeking to fill the vacancy could have desired. Judge Guion has figured - prominently in political affairs in the state and par ticularly in his home county of Cra ven which he represented In the legis lature end at one time was speaker of the house. Judge Guion . is not only well equipped as a lawyer but he has what so many lawyers who have been chosen judge have not, a Judicial temperament. Greensboro News. , It is rumored that Dr. Joseph Hyde Pratt, of Chapel Hill, well known throughout the state as a leaaer in the good roads movement, now an of ficer, lieutenant colonel we believe, m an engineering corps in France, is to be a "soldier" candidate for governor. This report lacks 'confirmation and will doubtless not be confirmed untu or. Pratt returns to. America, but it comes from sources considered pretty well informed, and there is reason to believe that there is much truth In it. This makes the list of mentioned soldier candidates three, the two others be ing Colonel Sidney W. Minor, of Dur ham, and Colonel Albert Cox, of Ral eigh. Of the trio, everything now points more strongly to the probability of Dr. Pratt becoming a candidate than to the others. In addition to the claim for support because of military service. Dr. Pratt will doubtless ap peal to the voters as a road builder, which should be. a strong card. There is no more needed development in this state than that of road building,, and it is Quite likely that ,the next few years will hear more of this subject than all the past years combined. It is probably that no matter which of the numerous candidates suggested for governor is chosen, the road building program will figure as the most im portant during his administration. But, the three so-called soldier candidates will not have to appeal for votes solely upon patriotic grounds, for they have other splendid qualifications: Pratt as a road builder. Minor as e successful business man and banker. Cox as a good lawyer. While from thi,s distance the chances for one of the three landing the nomination do not appear as good es some of the others, the fact remains that either of the soldiers would make a most creditable chief executive for the state.
