Well, If Borah vs. Johnson isn't blackgnm against thunder, we cant conceive what would be. To the majority, no doubt, it was a merry Christmas; bnt to a lot of people it was again, as usual, merely Christmas. A returned traveler reports that in High Point one occasionally hears ' this town referred to as Esst High Point. ; And he adds that High Point .is not taking our police cen sus with oWserkyasness. A-'.- i I There is an ancient saying to the effect, that, a green Christmas makes a fat graveyard, but the doe tors . snd -nurses could testify that this .spell of fine weather has done ; more, for thousands of persons 01 with various and, sundry ailments of, the cold and grip variety than was-possible to ail the medicament ever invented and the medical skill of the ages. . . I( th senator from California starts! in to -pee. the hide off the senator from Idaho, twill be a gor geous fray, to be sure. But if they nuke, it a free-for-all, instead of a private fight, and the senator from .Wisconsin sails in, we're afraid . Uncle Sam will be put to the ex , cense of building a ' new" senate J chamber, for the old one will hardly J be worth mending. J The Daily News' Wsshington correspondent, Mr. Gilbert, has written; another "Mirrors book ? that i said to be -even more so than "The Mirrors of Washington," t bis first effort th that line. The v new one is "Behind the Mirrors;" but since those persons who were ; judicious enough to enroll among the subscribers of the Dsily News have been behind the mirrors all i this time, they take the brilliance ; of the new book as a matter of course. , We see by the dispatches from Russia that Lehine is hopelessly ill gain, or yet; that he has gone off '.to die, and will never again par ticipate. In public. affairs; also that . he is somewhat indisposed, due to overwork, and it is hoped will be a" able to address the soviet congress, now In session at Moscow, before its adjournment. j Long Islanders report seeing .. thousands of geese "flying north ward in regular formation Sunday. ", Get ready to welcome a new year and plant the potatoes. 7 If this Arbuckle should be filmed i again, and if somebody in whose i judgment we have confidence ' '' should teU us that his picture is worth, seeing, and especially if we j should be convinced that the ex hibition had real comedy in it which we don't expect to happen ' then we'd go to see that film, if it were shown at some handy place. But this ii still a free country, at least to the extent that no one has to see Fatty Arbuckle films if he ' doesn't wish to see em; so why all this racket about whether or not h they ehall be exhibited for such people as might wish to see them?. , 'j ' He went out to fight the Ger- mans, went out in the uniform of 5 the United States, went out to de r fend the Star Spangled Banner with his life, if necessary. But it ,'. wasn't the Germans who did for him. He came back from the war ;' unscathed. Nevertheless, his head i less' body, bound with wire, was dragged out of a Louisiana lake the pother day. After his return from , fighting.' for this country he had r'the. misfortune of encountering ' some 100 per cent Americans; and tJy fixed him. It is no doubt a ; great and glorious thing to fight i, j for country of 100 per cent Amer icans who come 40 to one to murder their defenders in the dark; for the country of the -r00 per cent Amer icans, you know, is "the lend of the ,' free and the home of the brave." - BORAH AND JOHNSON, We fall to nndsrsUnd why Sen ator 'Johnson become to excited ovsr Senator .Borah's comparatively innocuous demand for a conference on reparations, when the adminis tration itself is boldly proposing to take over the question of repara tion! lock, stock and barrel As suming' that Senator Johnson has read the newspapers for the last three years, how has it been pos sible for him to escape the convic tion' that nothing is less -likely to produce definite results than an in ternational conference? The con ference at Washington was far and away the most successful of all; yet what has it accomplished T Work on new battleships has been held upthat is all That i. batter than nothing, to, be sure, but shows up insignificantly indeed by comparison with the great results that were anticipated and which a large part of the country be lieved had been attained. No doubt the basic difficulty is not the fact of the proposal, but the fact that it is Borah's proposal. It is a 'defection from the ranks of the irreconcilables, and a defec tion of the ablest of the leaders, at that Borah has at length re alised that the tranquillity and pros perity of this country are inextrica t'y bound up with the 'reasonable settlement of the reparations busi ness; and he has had the grace to yield precedence over his own preconceived opinions to the tran quillity and prosperity of the country. - "Apparently this, is an attitude that is impossible to Johnson.' Such a hypothesis explains a goo-i deal It explains, perhaps, why Johnson is not President of the United States. An essential qualification of a really great captain, in politics as in the field of war, is ability to decide just when to retire. Brown ing's 1 soldier ,who "never turned his back, bat marched breast for ward", was all right for poetical purposes, but he would have led his army to defeat and destruction. The irreconcilables are no more able than anybody else to Ignore the plain faefs of the situation and to proceed as if everything were arranged precisely as they would like to have it arranged, or as they believe that it ought to be arrang ed " Theoretically, the United States ought to have no interest in repara tions, since this country will not get a cent of the money. Actually,! however, pur whole business life is! bound up with the prosperity of Europe; and Europe cannot pros per . unless and until the repara tions problem is solved in such fashion as will tend to promote eco nomic health. . The fact that Sen ator Borah has finally recognised this fact and shaped his course ac cordingly is no more than evi dence that he js f aifly sane. The fact, that Senator Johnsdh is fn- raged by Senator Borah's retire ment from the extreme position1 is merely evidence that Senator John son is an unsafe leader. THE JOURNAL- OF SOCIAL ' FORCES. ' .The January number of the Journal of Social Fo -es, just is sued, more then maintains the promise of the first issue, which appeared last November. The Journal, to begin with, has expand ed to a magazine of 200 pages; and while it would be neither discreet nor accurate to say that the ma terial in tahis issue is better, it is perfectly true that it covers a vastly greater range of interests thsn the initial number surveyed. The Journal becomes more of a wonder the more one considers it The common impression has been that North Carolina, most cautious and conservative of the states, would be the last to support an academic magazine of any sort. and especially a magazine devoted to the technology of the social sciences; yet the response from this state, so the management of the magazine announces, has been not only gratifying, but surprising in its warmth. The Journal has had an auspicious beginning every where in the country; but its first and greatest success has been right here in North Carolina. But that after all, is merely another indication that the increas ing complexity of the state's lite is driving us to adopt the scientific attitude in dealing with the state's problem?. We are realizing that with a great industrial stste grow-, ing up on our hands we cannot go on forever doing as our fathers did with respect to social prob lems. We have to face conditions of which our fathers never dream ed; therefore we must devise methods of which our father never dreamed. It is consequently of the highest' importance that we have available data upon which we can rely in formulating new pro grams. This need the Journal has set itself to meet. It will be enormously to the ad vantage of the state if the maga zine is given consistent and care ful study by every social organi zation, in the state. Ignoring for the moment the articles to some of which the Daily News expects to refer at another time the depart mental contributions ar$ a rich mine of information for such peo ple as teachers, clergymen, editors, welfare superintendent, probation onicers, juvenue coun judges, men wno are interested in church, work, specially In rural churches, everyone who has an, Interest in racial relations or in country; life, municipal . officials . . and , , xlvic leagues, ana, all sorts ol women's organisations.

' VIRGINIA ROADSTERS ' wu.i ivjaa- rln line with th. straddling and ,. - -J aka l,-1 HUHkuiawwi, .vat vw"- has pursued ever since- assuming office. Governor Trinkl.Vcall for a special session of the general as- sembly contains the suggestion that r , . , the matter of the mooted good roads bond issue be referred to the peo . . ... . H pb for decision at the polls, says the Roanoke Times, whicl wishes idecoratlona of popples and gold dra Virginia to proceed to build VSZ TJArTZ roads. That will be to pass the buck, which is in 'this' case "neither necessary nor advisable. " It is to be hoped and expected that the gen eral assembly wiU. not fegarfi with favor a suggestion that it decline to discharge its delegated func tions. The people overwhelmingly voted to give the general assembly constitutional adthority to pass a bond issue. They would not have done so if they had had cause to doubt either the willingness or the competence of the legislative branch of the state government to exercise that authority where, as in the present instance, the reasons for taking action are' both manifest snd imperative. Governor Trinkle's de cision to sidestep the question of a bond iasue in this manner is most unsatisfactory and will be , pro foundly disappointing to his friends in every section of the -state." The Times' manifests its disap pointment that the Virginia gov ernor did not come out boldly on the side of the adherents of the bond issue, with the strongest rec ommendation to the. assembly be could write, yrhich would have done more "to stamp Mr. Trinkle as a really forward-looking and sincerely progressive executive than anything else possibly could have done;" thus giving .definite character to an adr ministration that in its existence of upwards of a year has been, "to speak candidly, rich in promises but comparatively poor in perform ance." It is plain that Mr. Trinkle's enthusiasm' for the bond issue, "to which he earlier committed him self, ha palpably cooled." The Times' sWde concludes: Mr. Trinkle cam to th laderhlp of the commonwealth at a critical period in Its affaire. Th opportun ity presented to htm for signal and constructive service was one such as no governor in recent yeara has en Joyed. It was an opportunity that called for the exercla of foresfkht. Intelligence and courage In marked degree. Mr. Trinkle tias the Intelli gence, beyond any question. We shsll still hope that further develop ments may prove that he likewise has the forealght and the coursge to lead on along the path of permanent progress. But the beginning, to be perfect Iv truthful, has been rather inauspicious thsn other-vise. Th- special session, despite the un atiafactnry nature of the call, will sfford opportunity for really con structive service to the state. It Is to be hoped that by the time Feb ruary 2!. 1923, rolls around, both the governor and the members of the general aaiembly will be In a mood to maks tne most oi n. Virginia ought to go forward under the good roads banner. We bfflleve that the peopie want to go forward; nay. that they are eager to d,u. But they cannot do it without a leader who la heart and soul In. with and for the raine Thst Is the crux of the whole difficulty. If we may venture from this dis tance to interpose a suggestion, is it not possible that the bent and the wprst that may be said of the governor in this connection it that he understaads Virginia and the Vl-;u. ,w .Ko V asisiiuiio( to lallVV i.Aix;ia ii,ih- 1 selves!

' After th feast, when th boy be gan to make speeches and sing songs, th Dally Newa reporter who drew the banquet as an assignment, found that there was a little more pep and considerably more real enthusiasm in the gathering than la usually to be found In occasions of the sort In these latter days.

The awarding of Hie prizes, which were little toys suit able for children Just learning to toddle, brought roars of laughter. Over In th corner of the dining room sat a handsome vlctrola which Mr. Ginsberg announced early in th evening would be given as the capi tal prise. He had. a good dtal to say about the vlctrola, whloh was a rather handsoma affair, but when It was finally awarded to W. F.
