Three days too late it has sud denly rushed upon the consciousness of ye paragrapher that he was hope lessly swindled, after all, when the circus came to town.

There are people who know ex actly where the money goes that the householder pays for his coal, but they are not numerous. Per haps the general public will be able to answer the question after the coal commission shall have made its reoort There is. no great diffi culty in finding out what the owner of the coal land gets per ton, what the miners who take it out get, what the capital invested in machinery and lease gets, and what the rail' Toad gets for hauling it to Greens boro, for instance. Distributors . have frequently disclosed that what 'they get is cost of capital and haul' ing they handle H to keep their ice .teams employed during winter, snd "maintain their orjfaniiation for dis ! tribution of ice in the months of , heavy demand; to get that stated tin terms of dollars and cents per ton fought not to present any heavy dlf Acuities, either memorial to Martin In the county's temple of Justice, f . Incidentally, the High Point women rather put Greensboro to shams in thus erecting a memorial to the nan from whom Alexander Martin chapter of the D. A. S. takes its name. . The city of Greensboro never has done as much for the man from whom the city takes its name. There is no monument here to Nathanael Greene, although the possession of such a godfather is" thing which any American city should be proud to proclaim to the world. Some day the Daily News hopes to see before the north portal of the courthouse a replica of the equestrian statue of General Greene that now stands on the Battle ground. We do not, as a rulethink much of such memorials; but this statu is really good, and further more there is room for it on that plasa. The extension of Library place through to Bellemeade street will furnish a fine sweep in. front, and the building behind is suffi ciently massive not to be dwarfed even by that great bronze. We think that the erection of such a monu ment by the cltixens of Greensboro would be v particularly graceful, sines Greene came from Rhode Island and has, so far as we know, not a single descendant in the state of North Carolina; so that there would not be the faintest suspicion that any contributor to the monu mental fund was actuated by per sonal or family pride. But Nathanael Greene standing guard over Guilford courthouse would be visual lesson in history that no child in the city of Greens boro could overlook or forget. It would be an inspiration to all suc ceeding generations, proof that in spite of its traditional ungrateful ness the republic does not always forget the men who have served it welL :.; - , The original monument cost the government, if our memory serves, aboat $30,000. Greensboro could well afford a similar expenditure to perpetuate the memory of the man who gave the city its name. ' ' . her guilty, of manslaughter was! composed of seven women and five men. W uougnt so. A woman can put over pretty much anything on collection of 12 sentimental males; but when women constitute a majority of the Jurors there isn't a thing doing. We dont know whether or not Mrs, Champion is pretty; but probi would never have attracted the at tention of the man whom she mur dered later. At anv rata, aha will have a couple of decades in which to meditate on the error of risking a trial for murder iri' a country which is able to .draw women for jurors. ''' In the Bergen case a husband who killed his wife's lover waa acquitted by a jury headed by woman; but it was conclusively proved that the fellow was killed in a fair fight, so whatever else might have been the verdict, it could not have been mur der in the first degree. We shelf watch with interest the outcome of the other eases in which women are on trial ' for', killings when there are women on the jury. Our belief is that they will display a tendency to disregard everything but the cold facts in the case, and that the popular feminine diversion of shooting up "people whom they dont like will be checked sharp The adoption of the si amendment was a sad bloi women with a taste for murder. a point of real vantage, must view it standing. V. ' It may be that the remedy lies in changing the shape of the field so that it will be equally adapted to presentation of football and base baU as a spectacle, or that it lies in the provision of s an auxiliary seating arrangement for the foot ball matches.

It looks like a platform plank like that ought to be a sure winner, but when we remember: the poor headway made by Brother Israel, of Bender- son county, with thatv fascinating slogan of "equal property one hour" work a day and no hell" we feel cautious about hacking Henry as strongly as his platform really deserves to be backed. im tney r srpte.

WOMEN WHO ARE BOTH HON EST AND DISCREET HAVE A RULE. When woman goes automobile ing with a man at night and comes back with ft story of outrage, she should be compelled to prove her allegations beyond the least shadow of doubt before punishment is in flicted on the man.- If any other policy is adopted, every strumpet in the country srill be living in luxury off of blackmail. ' The courts will- no longer be the engines of justice but will be converted into the in struments -whereby vimos and street-walkers will grow rich; and" judges may suffer the unspeakable degradation of becoming bill-collectors for prostitutes. For when a woman goes autorao- biling with a man at night, she is gambling with her reputation, and she knows it Women who are both honest and discreet dont do it. Tor discretion implies intelligence. Even when they know the man thorough ly, and have no doubt whatever that he is honorable, they remember that not all the world knows him, and that a great part of it, ignorant of his character, may draw unfavor able and unjustified conclusions. And as for going out alone with comparative strangers well, whan woman does that for fun, she has no kick coming if people immedi ately classify her with the sort of women who do not go out with comparative strangers, or others, for fun. ' Condemn the double moral stand ard as much as you please, the fact remains that it is not' the man who profits financially by commercialized vice, and it is good law and good sense to regard with suspicion the credibiliisj of the witness who will profit if hfs testimony is true. When a woman deliberately puts herself in a compromising position and then brings an action against the man in the case, the probabilities are heavily in favor of its being a venture in blackmail, and the jury is entirely justified in refusing to accept her unsupported word on which to base a verdict.
