After all, for the city that wants the sort of government that ii pro duced by a Heast-Tammany combi nation, that is the proper sort of gov ernment. Tho melancholy days have come, all right) but tho world just now Is so full of a number of things that a body has little time to be sad along with the saddest days. But what shall it profit a country to pay great honors to the unknown dead, and pay no attention whatever to the well known, but disabled, living veterans of the great war?

We are in clined to the belief that when they start to hold a real election in Ken tucky, we .shall he thunkful that the Appalachians lie between us. It was said that the women had the balance of power in New York city, and Hearst and Tammany, or Tammany and Hearst, win. Which is exactly the way New York elections used usually to come out in the bad old days when politics hadn't been purified hy the annobling influence of woman. It has been nearly a year since the voters of Guilford county authorised the issue of a million dollars in bonds for the construction and mainten ance, of the county roads. W suppose the highway commission will eventu ally get around to a decision as to what system of maintenance it will adopt. Hope Rptings eternal In the human breast. Col. John T. Rees remains president of the Greensboro Baseball associa tion, and Charles Carroll will man age the Patriots next season. It is important to have these matters set tled thus far in advance, that the itove league may have something defi nite to chew on. Furthermore, the Daily News hereby announces that it haa retained for the pastiming season of 1922 the same highiy-talenfvd soothsayer who has rendered such un exceptionable service to the fans of this vicinity during the past two years. Even further, he has already made divination, and hereby reveals to all and -sundry that the rag will again be copped by the Patriot aggre gation. This may look tough to the fans of other towns in tirf league, but we gin it to you it was gin to us. EASILY WORTH fa.OOO. By an act of the general assembly passed at last session the Governor ia authorised and directed to appoint a commission of five citizens who shall Investigate tho advisability of a sale of the stock owned by the state m the North Carolina and Atlantic and North Carolina railroads and the Investment of the proceeds of such tale In certain railroads in the western part of North Carolina. The commission would be' authorized to spend not exceeding $5,000 on pre liminary, surveys and procuring in formation as to cost "of proposed rallroads.in western part of state,;' and it is provided that any offer to buy-stock of ,"sid railroad compa-l nies, infercntially the ones named, must Include at the same price any stock privately owned. The state would pay actual expenses of the commissioners. Up to this date Governor Morrison has not appointed any commission, Under the language of the act it would be possible to invest in any railroad "in western North Carolina1 now in being, or to build a road In any place in "western North Caro lina," but It is fairly certain that such a commission would, actually investi gate the cost of building a road from Wilkesboro ' via Jefferson to the Tennessee line, or say tt Maymead, Tenn,, and one between Statcsvile and Mount Airy. It ia assumed on authority that the cost of the first construction would approximate five and a quarter million dolars and of the second $2,800,000, or a total of $8,050,000. Borne of the results of the first mentioned construction would figure out about like this: passenger fare, Bristol and Greensboro, 224 miles, J 8.70 ! compare with the present, by Lynchburg and Danville, 318 milos, $12.87; Roanoke and Winston-Salem, 802 miles, $11.74; Morristown and Salisbury, 366 miles, $14.23. aixm ciass ireignc, 4U-ton car load, by the proposed route, between Briolmip4Ornl!-i2B8.a04 published tariff over existing: routes, lhese approximations are illustra tive also of the differences on freight and passenger traffic between Bristol and Winston-Salem, Bristol and North Wilkesboro, Jefferson, Mount Airy, and any combination east and west, One goes all around the world to get by rail from western North Carolina to eastern Tennessee. This one short line would be a key structure, affecting the entire traffic of this section of the state, of all North Carolina ocean-port and west ern traffic. It would probably be about the simplest conceivable way of doing what many North Carolin ians have for decade dreamed of ac complishing. The Southern Winston Salem division touches North Wilkes boro, and its Appalachian division touches Maymead, Tenn. The ter rain il such that it is feasible to con struct a class A railroad between these points, 68 miles. The other line ia not vital to the general scheme, but would simply open up another section of western North , Carolina that Is badly in need of railroad facilities. Two sections, in fact. The railway holdings of the state of North Carolina are valuable but they do not mean anything to the in dividual; anything, at least, that he can see or feel. For the many thou sands who have occasion to traverse the western section, the resultant re duction in railway mileage and in time consumod would bo an alto gether different matter. And the say ing in freight would produco a divi dend Shared by all citizens, a very tangible thing. Tho consequent de velopment and enhancement would, of course, be worth millions to the sections In which these roads would be built. On the face of it, the proposition looks to be easily worth the $5,000 it may cost to investigate it, as the general assembly has directed. No body knows, or at least nobody can prove, how the plan would work out. That can only be determined by a careful investigation of all phases of it. But as far as can be determined without such investigation, it evi dently looked attractive to the mem bers of tho general assembly. THE AVERAGE NEW YORK VOTER IS A BOOB. Sometimes, when unusually atro cious stunt art pulled off in North Carolina, we are inclined to the be lief that remoteness from contact with the life of tho great world and lack of opportunity to discover what it is doing mako an ideal soil for the growth of demagoguery; but then along comes a thing liko Tuesday's election in Now York city and knocks that theory into a cocked hat. Nerth Carolina is 79 per cent rural; but pot since the days of Populism has it listened to the siren song of the demagogue as did metropolitan New York this week. John Hylan, take him all around, is about as objectionable a product of American politics as is imaginable, leaving out of consideration the out- and-out criminals. He is stupid, he js ignorant, he is coarse. Ho aligned himself with the enemies of this coun try, including the unspeakable Hearst, during the war; and his al liance with Hearst has continued ever since. Everything ii wrong with Hy lan; and he is re-elected mayor by a majority of more than' 400,000, The answer is unmistakable. 'It Is merely that the average voter in the city of New York is more of a boob than the average voter in thg wildest backwoods settlement in "North Caro lina. The metropolitan hicks "will swallow avidly stuff that would gag the most unsophisticated rustic from the coves of Watauga or the swamps of Dare. The astute and energetic political ballyhoo men can put over in Gotham a line of buncombe that would get them nothing but the rau cous ran in Buncombe county itself. The only difference is that in New York thoughtful and honest men have hordes of foreigners to deal with, masses informed with a class con sciousness, afT(T cursed wtttrxtass prejudices, that ar unknown and in- The conceivable in North Carolina, American element In New York did not re-elect John Hylan. He owes his success to the skill of his lieuten ants in playing upon the Ignorance and prejudices of the overwhelming majority of the voting population that knows little or nothing of the genius of American institutions! and to the inability of the better element to un derstand and sympathize with this element sufficiently to win its con-- fliience. We have not that axcuse for the triumphs of demagoguery in North Carolina, for here we have a purely American population. Yet every now and then we have an outbreak in this state, not as bla tant, perhaps, as -the .lamentable oc currence in New York, but bad enough, considering the racial stock that we have to deal with. So before we cast the first stone at New York, we would do well to consider our own sins. PRAYER FOR THE CONFERENCE. Miss Gertrude Weill, chairman of the North Carolina League of Women Voters, Is sending a circular letter to editors asking them to giv promi nence to the proclamation Of Gover nor Morrison in regard to Armistice day, particularly his appeal "to the churches and religious people of the sUt4.SMmMl&.ib house of worship on that day. at time to oe appointed Dy tneir pas tors, and to spend ona hour in prayer for the reduction of the armaments of the nations of the world and for peace on earth," also the call to edu cational leaders to "conduct such ex ercises as may be convenient and ex pedient." Miss Weill adds: It seems to us that there could be no more fitting observance of the day as a memorial to the heroes of the late war than the dedication of our selves to consideration of means to prevent the recurrence of such a cruel catastrophe 'and to prayer for the success of the coming conference on limitation of armament." Ona need not believe jg the effi cacy of prayer, as 'these words are ordinarily understood and ' most people who are at all religious do be lieve in such efficacy to realize that if a majority of the religious people of this country were to spend a given hour in prayer that real results may be accomplished by the armament conference, that might have a pro found influence on the conference. Even people who cannot believe that human intercession could bring or stopjainmay have the firmest faith that it could influence toward the cessation of wars; for war has its cause in the hearts and minds of men. Its ultimate causes are mostly in human evil. Are we not all agreed upon that, even those who sea a bio logic incident in human warfare? g-A-a-J -i M- THE LIBRARIANS. A convention that will attract no great amount of publicity, perhaps, but that is none the less of great im portance to the stato of North Car olina, assembles in Greensboro today. Th North Carolina Library associa tion Is holding its 13th annual session at the 0. Henry. The librarians ordi narily make no great noise in the world, but the extent of their Influ ence on the commonwealth cannot be measured by their prominence in the spotlight. A feature of this meeting will be the trusties' section, whose meeting at 8 ;30 tomorrow morning will be led by E. P. Wharton, of Greensboro. This endeavor to interest the business men who usually make up the boards of trustees of the institutions prom ises great things; and certainly Mr. Wharton is the man to lead it, since his work for the Greensboro library is hardly paralleled in the state. Greensboro bids the librarians wel come, ii we may say so wttnout im propriety, Greensboro also Invites them to examine the Greensboro pub lic; library with care. Greensboro is inclined to boast of Its library not that it is by any means a notably large one, not that it is unusually well equipped from the physical point of view, not because it has any money to perform great yorks with, but because w believe that it has made extraordinarily efficient use of such facilities as it has, and because we inovi that it is inspired with the de sir to serve its public. And in the final analysis, that desire to serve is the finest asset that any library can posseJs. KEEPING THE RECORD CLEAR, AT LEAST, As to the principle of publicity in connection with' the conference on limitation of armaments there is lit tle, if any, dispute. Ths is a matter affecting the very lives of the peoples of all nations. Surely, none can deny their right to know what is going on. But tho practical diplomatists find it no difficult task to accept a thing in principle, and utterly defeat it in practice. Indeed," one need not go" to international diplomacy to find that condition prevailing. The average political convention especially in the days when conventions had the power pf nomination, rarely did the real work in public, The slate was usually mad up in some hotel room, where a little group of erhlnent eentlemen agreed among themselves as to what the public wa to be permitted to have, Where was Warren G. Hard ing nominated for the Presidency of tne iiflitea states?- Still, the senate does Well to com- mlt untry lri 64 Taf kaTV may to rne principle of open covenants openly arrived at, Even if the object ia no gainea, ;i is n order tt keep the record clear by doing all that, we can. Again the Topeka men make a kill ing; at this rate th state of North Carolina will eventually . be paved with Topeka. The success of builders on this class of construction for the Stat system has been a general sur prise; it may be taken to foreshadow similar results when tha bids for the construction of Guilford's remaining una- in tne Lentraj highway are pres ently opened. All this road built in the county at present is Warrenlte. However, Warrenlte is asphalt and stone, and Topeka is asphalt and stone. The casual eye will never be able to tell the difference, if Topeka should win, for the remainder of the road to Glbsonville, Chestnut street paving, which il of Topeka, looks quite like other paving In town, of a similar age. Indeed, it is suspected that all hard-surface looks alike to the. average person using it.

The campaign will officially start Tuesday, November 15; and will oon- tmue with unrelenting vigor , u,ntll December when the chamber will stage In on of the tobacco warehouses a Dig civic carnival to mark tha and of th drive and to celebrate th new birth of community actlvltiea n Greenaboro. Intertwined In the memnershlp drive will be two novel features. Th In dian mystery which has surrounded all tne announcements for the dinner was laid bare In the explanation that- all members will be armed with toma hawks and will go on th war path looking for pale faces whom they may capture and bring Into the fold. Once they have captured the palo fanes, the warriors and braves will shift ithelr role a bit and become Insurance agents. They will sell to each captured man, woman and child an Insurance policy with an annual charge of $26, which I th membership coat la the chamber ef commerce for one year. The policy will Insure the progress, welfare and growth of the city. C. C. Hudson, former president of the chamber, will head the membership drive and will wear the title of Great High Sachem. Assisting him In the direction of th war will be A. W. Fet ter, ohristened last night "Raln-ln-thc-Fce." One hundred and seventy-five men and women were present at the dinner. They heard a varied program of talks, music, readings and singing. T. Alfred Fleming, of New York, supervisor of the conservation department of the national board of Insurance under writers, made the principal address, a peppery talk embraolng community ac tivities, pre prevention, and anti-bol-1 ahevlsm. All the members wore Indian head-dresses and many of the wait resses were costumed in squaw style. prestaent A. B. High, who presided at the dinner, told the members that the chamber of commerce reyild not afford to stand still. Activities now wore handicapped by lack of numerical strength. He presented the Great High Sachem. C, O, Hudson, whe would lead the braves to the battlefields. Mr. Hudson told of the details of the membership drive. "The goal of 1,000 members la not too high," he said. He appealed to all the member to Join In ths warfar and told of th final carni val December I when the campaign would close. A. W. Fetter, assistant director of the campaign, likened the chamber to central heating plant, giving out heat and light to the entire community but being stoked by only part of the community. Mies Olga Lehman, of the North Carolina College for Wpmen, accom panied by Miss Aileen Minor, sang several aongs, and Mia Klva Hennln- ger, of th Greensboro College for Women, gave a reading from O. Henry' "The Marry Month of May." The meeting acted favorably on the report of a secret oommltte against charity advertising. The report binds all members to submit charity adver tising srnemes to a chamber of com merce committee, and impose a fine for failure to keep the pledge.
