BRYANT, GRIFFITH & , BRPNSON MONDAY, MARCH 30, 1020. THE! IRISH tCRI9IS. The situation in Ireland grows worse and worse. The Dublin correspondent of .the London Times ' writes that the country is 'fast drifting into anarchy. Murder is rampant, the authorities are utterly'powerless, terror stalks every where. The government is ineffective . to a Degree. That curious ineptitude' which has always marked the English, meth od of governing Ireland is heightenea by recent events which, coming thick ly, have given the aigiflcance of an awful crisis to . the destruction pf thoso sanctions and amentltics which make for order and peace. " In England, the demand b.as-become clamorous for the adoption -of such policies as will cause the Irish them selves to labor for the return of quiet, respect for law." those : processes of life and conduct on which a peopie's hope and happiness must uepend. --The .demand will be .met, it must be met. It Ireland, in addition to its other and Innumerable woes, is not to . suffer a complete.' dissolution of the fabric of civilization.. : . . ... , , . . ....... , A better day is coming for the-Irish people, who will - free themselves of the excesses of hatred, the enormities of embltterment, because there will have been placed upon them-the obliga tions of self-control which freedom im pose . . We note that an employment service is going to undertake 'to find"jobsfor teachers. The indications are that it will prove to be a . very easy task in comparison with that of finding teach ers. It is a pleasure to "repeat, with a persistent tapping on wood while we're about, it, the 'official assurance that our community is not in the tornado belt. I .:' i .;"" r f ..-..;. .. ,; . . ; One of the most pleasant aspects of a Presidential jamboreejls the':joy of fritting back and hearing, two men like Borah and Wood paste each other with the very things you've been thinking about 'em. A New Orleans minister says ' the , way women dress nowadays is 'enough to .make angels veil their faces with their- wings. Maybe the angels feel that way about it, but we'd bet they feel orry for a one-eyed man. We've about decided that if the-bol j tehevists should be' driven out of Rus sia there wouldn't be enough popula tion 'eft to' get up a normal sized game .' "Df stud poker. . The Secretary of Agriculture should inot be a theorist, but a practical farra ' er, declares ; Wooi!;- I Very good, Gen ieral but how abdnt a practical states " man for President? v . '; , ; I The spring crop of tornadoes seems ; to be of the bumper variety. t Information from The Star's repre S; tentative in Pender and Onslow coun ties' conveys an impression of consid X lerable activity ift the; interest of bet V ter roads. The meeting at Maple Hill ; last week supplied a" concrete illus- tration of this zeal for i. improve- hient of the highways. The enterprls- ing and public spirited citizens of the ;' two counties who ; are responsible for : the Impetus that" is being given to ; road-building are earning the gratl- tude. not only of their own people, tut of the entire section of the state. They are leading in the direction of a ; new era. Pender and Onslow are too. rich in natural endowments "and In the quality of their citizenship, to ' submit " longer to the check of imperfect pub lic roads. "' The men who are working . , so earnestly for better roads should not be permitted to falter . or to be' come dlsoouragedfor the want of as- v surance bn any hand that their efforts are ; watched withj the most grateful appreciation. . . .'; .. . ; VIRULENT FORM SMALLPOX PREVALENT IBT MISSISSIPPI ' ' Jackson,: Miss..

THE- PRESIDENT ' SHOULD : SPEAK ' The' New York .Times praises South ern Democrats for demanding a declar ation from the President of his inten tion with reference- to a third tterm. The' Times ; regards this "attitude, ' as expressed by Congressman" Humphreys of Mississippi, as a token of "churlish Ingratitude, because of the large share of. patronage which the South has re ceived 'from the -.administration. J The Times Is so sure .that.. President Wilson; has no thought of asking for- andther nomination, that lt! designates &b "cal culating : and precipitate . politicians" those who are .not equally free of doubt jon the subject. The Times main tains that- Mr,. Wilson's silence .will have a' salutary effect; that as the leader, of ihe. party he will, expect to be consulted touching. the business, th1 nomination,'"" the platform, of the conr' vention: , The aspirants for the Democratic nomination can afford to bide their time; . perhaps Mr. Wilson 'himself "feels that it would be well ; to proceed ;.wl th del lberatlon in - so important a matter and give the - country 'time to weigh well the qualifications of the men whose' names iare mentioned. z " We ' believe thkt"' Is a very natural restiveness whifih the Democrats from the South are exhibiting, a restiveness which they ha v a perfect right to dis close, .without having their motives or their sense of appreciation' impunged. They have paid for all ; favors- re ceived in a close adherence to party discipline, in a -steady., loyalty; a con-" stat vfldelity," which strengthened him in! every crisis, . which gave reality to his , every desire.?' They have seen the President appoirif.two" ex-RepublioanS fr Important ; offices; they . are pro foundly conscious of the difficult posi tion in"; which their party has been placed as the result of the futile out come of, the pece treaty controversy; they "know Ihat whateyet the -President' may "ultimately do, his failure to declare "hlmsplf "has kept a number of men ifrom-.bcomlng active,! aggressive candidates .The . President will not o lifer for another term; of that! there can be no reasonable doubt, but - his unwillingness to make a frank, direct avowal : of his Intention haa had the effect of causing other men to" hold back from vigorously pressing- their claims bepause; hjs very unwillingness to express himself has held the impli cation that he is unready for. other men tof.entejythe" fieldr;v''"!s Jcphsent to Palmer's candidacy in Georgia is mere ly a stroke against Hoke Smith. A few days before he permitted the use of his j name,' Mr. Palmer stated' In" an address 1 that he was not- a candidate. His declarations even now Indicate that he is not quite sure of his ground; they , ; 1 are;' qjuite vague, decidedly cautious,' and provide an; easy method of retreat. ... . . t.,: ;? . ' But the Times "Says ' that the; Presi dent Is . looking "to , an -"open" conven tion. An 'open" convention is likely- to be the worst sortv -ot a- cloeedwn ventjon unless, the country -haarfcad a fullt opportunity to, inspect the candi dates and to weigh their views, unless the candidates ..have had to bear,. the brunt of each other's- criticisms, unlets what the Candidates stand for and what issues', they stand on, a re, made clear to thei public hy direct affirma tion, are tefltednTf that process- of scrutiny and examinations, whose pre cipitate is a sound and well-informed public opinion. Wait, until the -conven tion; and there is likely to develop: a situation folding - two 4; evil'f respects, either the-;convention wilt beyeo Tjadly spiuv or the names submitted will be of men whose, personalities and poli cies will be so vague and nebulous, as to provide a choice .opportunity for the benevolent -and exalted .-operations of the , bosses and the politicians. The San . Francisco convention is just three months off.. It is a short time in . which to arrive at that crystallization of opinion v.-ich. is so wholesome, o ehieldin against politi cal manipulation. The President owes It to his party to speak. There is much more danger in the uncertainty which he is responsible, for than in the cud geling.'jwhich aspirants .might Tadmln- isted to each other during' the prelimi nary campaign. -" '. :; ; ': ONSLOW AND PENDER FAVOR ISSUE OF BONDS Holly Township ;To Sell $25,000 Worth.

"We have a merchant marine "now,: which is owned and , operated by the j United States government.' The life of this emergency fleet is. limited.' The ship ping board asks that ,it be given , at least two years more of life, so that the ships belonging to the American people can be sold to private capital without too heavy a loss. " " "When ' the emergency . fleet" corpora tion t- has - died or been killed,.,, then what? That is the question' which1 the marine league is asking. Unless American capital wll invest in ships, unless American boys will work , on ships, unless American' voters will take an interest in and gain a knowl edge of shipping, eo that-? necessary legislation will be-passed by ' congress, nothing inatop ,ur; merchantlmrlne from declining again and ultimately dlsannearinK. 'J'- "" Of course one solution- of vthe-proi)-- lem would .be to keep the. Emergency Fleet corporation' in existence, i and' to continue pur merchant marine as" a national enterprise .-nationally? owned. No one seems- to deny that the .Emerg ency Fleet corporation has done well. It has- attracted the -Interest j of the publics to shipping matters when pri vate capital has long-iauea to ao bo. Yet this , solution of the problem does not seem even to be considered in. high places. Just at T present . a . wave of opposition to government ownership of anything is sweeping over Ihe coun try, v A great Propaganda, has been "set on foot for . the ; return of Levery thing to private hands.' These jfehips ot. nonrsA were never; tn. private t hands. They were created by the natibn with.; the peoples money. ixone m lees, they, too seem oertain to .go, into pri vate hands, and at a good deal less than cost. - . - ' - - "4-' - The1 general" sentiment seems ito.be that-this is the correct thing to do. True, some men can be found who-, do not thiriknt ir the correct thing to do. but it appears ' to be the thing Hhat is mir.tr tn haDtjen. ' Jn congress there appears. to be no strong sentiment for continuing, public ownersmp oi, vue merchant shipping. ; . -, ..; -i-j ' It should be explained that the. ship ping board was created as . a ott of supervisory body, to ifeguit i marine shipping- much as th lnterlitate .com merce commission regulates the f rail roads.' This shipping oard waa given powers to build and operates ships in case - an emergency made : such; action necessary. The twar;was ,such an .rnrv.

In ; the first place, many of our , old export markets : have been ? destroyed of rendered impossible toVu$. andwe must develop new; -ones. -.The ad vantages of having -our; own shipping wherewith to do this, are obvious.
