Members of the school building

Harding on a tour of Inspection of the
schools Tuesday, where improvements
are going forward. The work at Mey

South school is well under way, three
forces of workmen being engaged on
the jobs. Kxterior painting, calclmin
ing the walls, and a partial recon
struction of the interior of one of the

buildings into the semblance of new
structures. The building committee
carefully followed the work In every
detail on the Inspection tour Tuesday.
Cannot Block Streets.
The daily session of the board of
city commissioners was of short du
ration Tuesday. Only a few routine
bills came up for attention and those
were quickly disposed of. An appli

upon wheels and stopped along the
sidewalks on the edge of the streets,
was not granted by the commission
ers. Mayor McN'inch stated that In
stead of allowing more stands of one

the board would more than likely cur
tail the number of stands of one kind
ami another now allowed upon the
stieets and sidewalks.

count more than words. North Caro
lina doea not hear of speeches by Sen
ator Simmons of Ute, and hla visits to
tha state have become all too infre
quent; but North Carolina know that
Senator Simmons is working, not talk

a man who stands to his post In a
time like this and works out great
constructive legislative measures; and
It knows, too. that when Senator Sim

knows how to go about It Industrl-
ously, considerately, ftelllgently and
with . an eye single ' ti his country's

The leading article in The Saturday
Kvening l'ost of July 21 is entitled
'Kittle Men or Big?" It is hy that pa
per's famous staff writer, Samuel G.
lllythe: and it is concerned with the
conduct of the war by the United
States. In the course of the article
there is an allusion to a North Caro
linian that our readers are prepared
to appreciate. It is as follows:
' The trouble is (that is the misun
derstanding of Congress) that when
the demagog gets up and rants for an
hour about some remedy for all ills
or against some outrage on the people
his rantings are exploited publicly,
whereas nothing is said, for example,
of the countless hours of steady,
m ientilic. patriotic work of such men
.s John J. ritgerald, of the Mouse
committee on appropriations, or Sen
ator Simmons, chairman of the Sen
ate finance committee, on whom
the primary responsibility for appro
priations rests. Without appropria
tions the war would come to a sudden
end."
This is a well-deserved tribute to
S -nator Simmons. He lias indeed
made a record of "countless hours of
steady, scientific, patriotic work." He
has practically written or rewritten
the great taxation laws of our country
within the last four years the tariff
law. the internal revenue law, the
emergency tax law. and now most
important of all the excess profits
law. under which the piesent gener
ation will pay its part of the burden
of the present war. If he had en
gaged with no other tasks hut these,
it would he dittit'iilt to conceive how'
he has- managed io do so much so
we. I. But he has also hail a great
hading part in the shipping act, the
rural credits act. the federal reserve
ct. and in truth, every other import
ant measure that has come before the
Senate since Mr. Wilson became Bi es
ident. I tis particularly gratifying that
Senator Simmons has made not only
ur!i a record of service, hut that he
has succeeded in giving President
