Sees of being a Shakespearean scholar, but it ap pears that lie is about to find the an swer to the bard's inquiry as to what's in a name. Prohibition enforcement officers are seizing stills at the rate of 150 month in Tennessee; which re minds the office cynic that Tennes see was originally part of North Carolina in law, and is still much like it in spirit, The Lexington Dispatch hears ru mors that the Southbound will take over the Carolina and Yadkin River, provided Denton, High Point and Thomasville are sufficiently inter ested. It is hardly within reason to believe that those manufacturing towns will permit a railroad line erring them to be abandoned, so if the rumor is well founded the C. and Y. R. is probably saved. The way it appears to the Hous ton Post: "North Carolina's $50, 000,000 investment in good roads this year appears to have netted $50,000,000 worth of roads and $25,000,000 worth of first-class pub licity." Comment that is all the more significant, says' the Jloanoke Times, "coming, as H does from far away Taxes." Virginia roads are also getting quite a lot of publicity, as the Times admits. The so-called "Jim Crow" law is neither more nor less than a neces sary police regulation, designed, not to humiliate anybody, but to pre-; vent riots; and in refusing to terfere with it the Supreme court ls merely reaffirming the duty of the states to maintain order within their, own boundaries. It is not a defeat for the negroes, nor a tri umph for the whites; but merely an assurance to both races of no inter ference with a regulation necessary to the protection of both from bloody fights that would, without this law, be inevitable. ' The prospect of another hand some business building, a suitable home of its own for that great Greensboro mercantile institution, the Meyer department' store, in creases the community's stock of optimism.

The only triumph ant participant In the conference at Lausanne la the unspeakable Turk, From the beginning he has dictated What the conference shall do, and the western powers have meekly ac cepted hie dictation. The Turk is stark reality In a world given over to political buncombe and hokum, He is "thrice arm'd in honesty" and therefore Irresistible. Behind his program are no ulterior motives. Be says, what he meana, and means what he says; and he Is ready to back up his words with a nasty fight All the rest are fettered by di verse and divergent considerations, trance ana cngiana are .under the necessity of making, a pretense of mutual affection, when as a matter of fact they loathe each other. Italy is still dased. by her internal ex plosion. The United States ob serves, but takes no action except for an occasional word of encourage ment for the Turk. The truth is that the United States probably has a more profound dislike of the Turk than any of the others. We have never had any use for the Turk, whereas England and France have repeatedly employed him to pull their chestnuts out of the fire, and have an uneasy sus picion that he may be useful again. Therefore they are chary of destroy ing him utterly, whereas this coun try has no reason for harboring any scruples on that score. Lausanne la a 'conference of powers that con tinually threaten war against the Turk, but that will not fight sham powers, endeavoring to make a sham peace. But there is no sham about Ismet Pasha. He knows what he wants, and he knows that the others dare, not refuse his demands. So the conference has been in his hands from the beginning and seems likely to remain there to the end. "-Christian" Europe is deferring to the will of Islam, because its Christianity is sham Christianity, as its threats are sham threats. The man who will sell his religion for commercial advantage haa none. The nation that will sacrifice its Chris tianity for the Mosul oil fields is not a Christian nation. There is only one religion represented at Lausanne, and that is Mohammed anism. No wonder it is winning. IRELAND'S BURDEN OF SENTJ- MENTALISM. A government that is sure of it self and of its ability to establish nd maintain order is under no ne cessity of resorting to reprisals. The action of the Irish free state in executing four men for crimes that others had committed is tantamount to an admission that the situation in Ireland has gotten out of its control 'Anarchy once more u in tha saddle, and the condition of Ireland has fal len back where .it was before, the English withdrew. The most depressing thing about Irish affairs as they now stand is the fact that a huge majority of the Irish people is with the free state government, and wishes its continu ance. Yet the fanatical minority is able to flout the authority of that government, able, indeed, to reduce it to impotence by means of a camy paign of assassination. The Irish' majority stands helpless. But is any country in which the majority may be over-ridden by a small minority capable of self-government? The United States has written on the of ficial record a negative answer in its refusal to withdraw from the Phil ippines. We justify that refusal on the ground that if we withdrew all government would be destroyed by a senseless and murderous factional ism. Yet that is precisely what is happening in Ireland. It is a fearful thing for a coun try to be cursed with a sentimen- talism that leads it to tolerate lead-l ership that permits persona? ambi tion to extinguish judgment and vis ionary theories to over-ride common sense. It leads to acquiescence in, if not approval of, government by assassination and all the horrors of anarchy. Yet so deep-rooted is this element of Irish character that ap parently there is nothing that can be done to remedy it. It seems to be the fate of Ireland to be torl in-!mented eternally, if not by foreign i oppressors, then by her own ree reant sons. The free state, as an established, ruling government, has thus far not proved its right to serious considera tion. It has now fallen into the bar barous tactics of the savages who are fighting it, and since that has occurred, there is not much hope of its redemption; unless, indeed, some native Cromwell arises among the free state leaders. The course of Oliver Cromwell was marked by such butchery, such incredible "sav agery as sickens the world to re member; nevertheless, Oliver Crom well was the one man who pacified 1 Ireland. He ruled terribly, but he ruiea. ine wona pegins to Believe that Ireland can be ruled in no other way. MAINTENANCE FUND LABEL IS "DANGEROUS." Any statesman who in the prosecu tion of his designs should lose sight of the maintenance of the highways and should so contrive that main tenance will be made to suffer and languish will thereby sever his own 'political neck close to his own poli tical ears.' We saj he will, because that ought to be the result "Ought to be" la net always "Is," but surely it would be tn this ease. There Is so little to the toll roads, without maintenance, that you might almost say, without mainten ance the soil read it a thing of naught. We Guilford citizens knows that full well;, wa have the state toll roads splendidly main talned, and the county toil roads with promise of a system of main tenance some aay; maybe when there come SO Sundays In a row.' Everybody usee the state soil roads, and maintenance is a luxury of sort that soon becomes a habit It will not take very long for the people to become as accustomed to the use of maintained roads as they are -to the handling of their cars. Can maintenance ever be neglected, now that it hat been established, without arousing a storm of indigna tion? To us it is inconceivable that It could. -r. M ' The highway commission will In sist: that the present scheme of maintenance be not interfered with for two yean, and that the fund used for that purpose be not re duced. The commission would not be concerned especially about where the money might come from, ao it were forthcoming. There will pres ently be carrying charges on 50 mil lion dollars of bonds, and' unless the state la to go backward instead of forward the authorisation will be increased IS million dollars. ,By pro years from now the auto mobile license income and the gaso line tax income will, In the natural course of events, be increased con siderably by increase in the number of cars paying tax and using gaso line. But two year more will also bring to .an end 'the present phase of road construction and road main tenance. The term of the commis sion as at "present constituted will come to an end. A new phase will have to be inaugurated, ahd per haps a new policy. The commission primarily concerned with the completion of the phase of the work for which it is responsible. It would be unfortunate if the impression should get abroad that the commis sion favors splitting off a part of the revenue produced by the pres ent scheme, or even with the gaso line tax increased, to prvide' a sink ing fund ; for that impression we are sure would be incorrect The com mission wishes the maintenance fund to remain intact for two years, and according to the impression we get, Governor Morrison agrees that this is the wise course. There is a big job for the main tenance forces to do in addition to what is being done already. There are innumerable dangerous curves that ought to be. widened, miles and miles Of embankments that ought to be fenced. Many sections of the mountain roads ought practically all to be fenced, and even- in the Pied mont there are a great many places where a reasonable margin of safety can be provided .only by fencing. IF BAILY CROSS-EXAMINES THE KLAN. ' If the Ku Klux authorities are wise they1 will stay out of court in Raleigh; for if a member of the or ganization falls into the hands of J. W. Bailey for cross-examination he will be left the most woebegone kkicker in the invisible empire. Bailey is clever and- shrewd and equipped with a corrosive tongue. Furthermore, he has political ambi tions, and the demolition of the Ku Klux would be such a feather in his cap as none other of his possible op ponents for governor in 1924 pos sesses. Thus, to the lawyer's natu ral desire to win his case would be added the politician's realization that in this trial the eyes of the state are upon him, friend and enemy alike being prepared y re vise their estimates of his ability, either up or down. None of these considerations would tend to soften the severity of the cross-examination. All of them, on the contrary, would, eombine to assure the witness an unhappy time. To be sure, if all the doings of the klan are perfectly straight, and all the characters of its officers above reproach, then itawitnesses have nothing to fear from the most ter rific cross-examination. But if the klan has certain things in its record that will not bear the light of pub licity, then it had better keep its witnesses out of Bailey's hands; for as sure as he gets hold of them he wrll nail their hides to the barn door. ' 'STATESVILLE MINDED TO TAKE NO CHANCES. A note of slightly ominous, or solemn, portent is introduced in the chorus of festival' preparations by Statesville. Statesville announces a "flu situation," the came consisting of "only a few cases scattered throughout the county" and being by no means "alarming." It closes churches, schools and theaters "to prevent the condition from becom ing alarming." Apparently there are some cases of illness here and there which the physicians differentiste from the various .manifestations of what may be called "ord:nary coryza." It will be remembered that the most recent epidemic condition in the country side included that section in its scope, and it may be that the folks over that way are more nervous GREENSBORO v DAILY NEWS.

' oovernofol a Swedish Island of Gottland Would Have Natioija Insured Against and Paid for Damages Sustained in War. A new plan to limit wars has been proposed by O. W. A. Rooa, governor of th Swedish, Island of Gotland. It proyldea that nation, be Insured against war, and that they roiv oompensatloa for any losses Incurred by wars forced upon them Governor Roos eroiyed this Idea after considering many ways and means to make settlement by arbltra tlon a suecMS. "Born advantage must be guaranteed," he wrote In a recent lettr, "to th party which seeks act tiement oy arbitration, while some disadvantages must' b Imposed upon th party which declines settlement by arbitration. This might b aecom pllshed, I think, througnan Institute of International insurance." In practical operation the insuranoe Institute which Governor Roos has in mind would be an association of na tions subscribing to Its rules and regulations and these nations would provide th necessary money. The membership payment would be either a lump sum, according to population. or som similar basis, possibly the an nual interest on such a sum plus a certain pfr cent-for amortisation. The funds of the Institute would thus con sist of capita; paid In 'by member, safely Invested and drawing Interest. and of the interest paid r members woo nan not put up tneir anar ot th capital. If a member became a bel ligerent he would ba entitled-to th benefit of cash compensation, pro vided that he had flrat offered to sub mit to arbitration and then, th op posing party having declined arbitra tion, had 'bean drawn Into war. The amount of compensation which a belligerent might thusy receive should b determined by Its needs, according to Governor Roos, and not by th amount of money paid In as Its shsrs of th capital or th Interest. Of course , there would have to be soma limit. Not mora1 than 71' per cent o( the funds could be used as com pensation In any one war. Th author of thla plan has not" vet mads plain what would be don In case the. party which originally sought arbitration1 won th war Into wnioh it bad been forced. Presumably, It would a till receive compensation and th other belligerent would b a a greater disadvantage than ever, If ooin parties to a quarrel sought arbi tration but failed to reach a settle ment and went to war, neltiier would be expected to benefit 'from the in. surance funds. The yearly cost of protection hv meana of thla Institute would be com paratively low, according to Gover nor Rooa, and the nollcl AS laatiail somewhat like those of ordinary an. dnwment Insurants companies for a given period of say 10 years. If warJ came ouring in term of Insurance, the benefits received would be' many times th premium paid In. and If war did not com, there would he a cash return equal to the total of th aremluma, plua tha "proflta accruing from the Invested funds ef the tnrtl nHe. The governor haa hiiiulh that th premium might be II per inhabitant, -4f oaldlnjL-lujnn.aum.of. an annual Interest of 4 per cent phis n amortization of 1 per cent: that is. 21 cents a year for each Inhabitant. Compared with the national debts nil- ed up by wars, such a premium for liability Insurance would be small. In case th Rooa plan for Inter national war liability, proved unrr.... fu there would be a marked decrease of wars during th 'nxt generation or two after Its Inauguration, he be lieves, ana the funds of th organisa tion would accumulate raoldlv. oro. cidlng th members oontlnued tbelr premiums. Thar would then be a danger of too great an accumulation of th world's money In th Insuranoe Institute. Governor Rpos haa sug gested that this might be prevented by a distribution of surplus among th participating members whenever the profits reached twice th amount of th premiums paid In, ' i .Th make-up and administration of th Institute would be somewhat Ilk that of th league of nations,- with modifications. An Isaembly of rep reaantatives appointed by the member states would constitute th .main body, and the administrative work proper would be under a board of di rectors elected by th representatives. The award of benefits to warring na tions also would be decided by an elected council of expert. New Tork Times. NEWS OF OXFORD. Prssalaeat Merchant Dragged Lag DIataae Fades Aato.
