The Tar Heel states man overlooks the example of the illustrious Xebraakan, or finds it im practicable to follow It and run the railroads at one and the saine time. Then here is the boundary commit eionshlp bobbing up again, only mod erately paid but very ornamental and designed for statesmen-lecturers. While it is ordinarily a delightful sensation to be on the tip-toe of ex pectancy, the charm wears off after awhile and we again express the hope that Mr. Glenn may find it possible to make up his mind soon, even though the senatorial race be young. Entered at the Postoffke in Ashevllle s seeord-class matter. Friday, Dec. 5, 1913. The prospects appear very good for British and German exhibits in the exposition at .San Francisco, notwith standing the much-discussed decisions of those governments to have nothing to do with the exposition, and a re ported Joint agreement to that end. The change has been brought about, of course, by rivalry between com mercial interests. It was realized in both England and Germany that the lower tariff in this country and the opening of the Panama canal will greatly enlarge European opportuni ties In the United States and on the western coast of South America. : So keen Is this realization that consider able pressure has been brought on both governments to obtain a reversal of position, and that pressure very probably will be effective. THE PRIMARY PLAX. Among the national committeemen of his own and the Progressive parties and among members of congress, President Wilson's proposal for a presidential primary has met with considerable favor, Judging from the ; interviews which enterprising news papers have procured from those statesmen and from polls which have been conducted. Republicans are not so responsive, and where they have made public expressions at all have j been non-committal. The Progres sives appear even more unreserved in endorsement than the Democrats. While this chorus of approval goes up the New York World, probably the most powerful newspaper supporter of Wilson, holds back. Expressing doubt of the power of congress to "create such nominating machinery," the World well expresses other possi bilities of the "reform": Assuming, however, that it exists, i the mechanical obstacles seem almost I Insurmountable, and the cost of nom inating a candidate for President would promise to be hardly less than the cost of electing a President In deed, It might be more, and a situa tion could easily be created In which the final arbiter of the nominating process -would be neither the people nor a convention nor a political com mittee, but the Supreme court of the United States. , The World has no admiration for a method of nominating President in which a Muruhy can cast as a unit New York's 90 votes in a Democratic national convention; but we are not , compelled to choose between Murphy or a Presidential primary. If the American people want a better way of naming Presidents, they have only to correct certain obvious evils in the existing system. State primaries already enter Into the selection of practically all dele gates to a national convention. It Is inot difficult to create by legislative 'enactment State preferential primaries I in which the party voter of every , State would have a chance to register ', their first choice for President. If no ' one candidate had a majority of the delegates bound by these preferential primaries, the way would still be open for those methods of compromise by ! which national conventions have - sometimes proved wiser than the peo ple themselves. And what about the Vice President? Would Mr. Wilson nominate htm at the Presidential primary, or leave his choice to a convention dominated by congressmen? Nobody is ever a can didate for Vice President, or Is ever likely to contest the nominatlpn at a .primary. If the Vice President Is to , lb named by the kind of national con vention that Mr. Wilson propose for platform purposes, this will mean a return to the congressional caucus, the notorious abuses of which re sulted In the establishment of the na tional convention Itself. Furthermore the World need have no doubt about the constitutional dif Acuities In the way of an early fedefal interposition In party nominatlona Congress derives its powers from the constitution and there Is now to be .found In the constitution no warrant for such congressional activities a Mr, WIIon propose and Colonel Roosevelt probably would enthuslaatl cally endorse. The resolutions of the Just Freight Rate association set forth with con siderable force and clearness the view of the shipping interests of the State of the action of the Virginia cities in endeavoring to prevent or delay the carrying out of the rate agreement between North Carolina and the rail roads. The course of these petition ers is indefensible from any view point. . gro. The ball entered the upper part or the left arm and came out at the top of the shoulder. Gulley fought the officers all the way to the station and is said to have made some very threat ening remarks even after he had been locked up. He has a very. long record in crime at the police station .and at the sher iff's office and cy a few days ago returned from the chaingang, where he has been serving a sentence. In court this morning the negro was very insolent and looks the part of a "bad man." He was given 10 months for an as sault with a knife with intent to kill: 0 days for resisting an officer, and 30 days for disorderly conduct. He ppealed in all the cases and bond n the first case was fixed at $300; second, $200, and the last, $100. There is probably considerable method in the madness of the Eng. llsh police, who have taken the ag. gressive against the seemingly sub dued leader of the English militants. If, along with Mrs. Pankhurst, they "arrested" the real money she had ac. cumulated In the United States the suffragists' war chest will suffer thereby. The arrest of the Hon. Theodore Bilbo of Mississippi is, after all, worth while. In the. fury of his wrath he uesignaies uov. Jiari urewer as a "dollar-hearted dummy," which not only will hold the Governor for awhile. but enriches the literature of invec tive and alliteration. The Boston authorities have pro nounced the tenement In which 27 men lost their lives a fire-trap, on the theory, probably, of better late than never. Fi WALT MASON A JOY COMETH. I sat and sighed, with downcast head, my heart consumed with sor row, and then Aunt Jemima said: "I'm going home tomorrow!" I'd feared that she would never leave, her stay would be eternal, and that's what made me pine and grieve, and say, "The luck' infernal!" I thought my dark gloomy akles no sunshine e're would borrow, them Aunt Jem ima up and cries, "I'm going horn tomorrow!" Thus oft the kindly gods confound the klckest and the carklst, and Joy come cantering around just when things seem the darkest. We all have aunts who come and stay until their welcome' habby, who eat our vlttlea day by day, until the purse I flabby; and when we think they will never go, or let us know what peace la, they up and dissipate our woe by packing their valises. The darkest hour's be. fore th dawn, and when your grief lntenseat, It 1 a algn 'twill soon be gone, not only hence, but hencest. WALT MASON. Copyright, 1111, by George Matthew Adam.

Upon trying to enter the house the officers say that the door wa slam med in their faces and locked. They then tried the rear windows and dbors and saw Gulley escaping from one of the windows.

AsIievlUe, N. & The fish In French Broad river were fed again last night with spirituous, vinous and malt liquors, the members of the police department having de stroyed about 120 gallons of liquors at the station last night about 7 o'clock. The liquors were taken from drug store and home of D. McN. MacKay, and were hauled to the station in wagons shortly after dark last night. About 7 o'clock the members of the force started to pour the goods out and were nearly two hours at the loh. The liquors were destroyed on order of Judge Frank Carter and under the su pervision of Chief of Police C. N. Laminar. The list Included one barrel of whis key, which was found at the home of Mr. MacKay and wines, champagne. cocktails, etc., In pint and quart bot tles that was found at the drugstore. All the bottle goods was emptied Into the sewer from within the station, but the, barret of whiskey was taken out side and poured in the manhole near the entrance to the station. This is perhaps the last liquor to be destroyed, as the other that was cap tured at the Owl drugstore wa de. stroyed In the county jail this week and the good seized at the Langre-i drugstore has been taken to the Mis ston hospital to be used for medicinal purposes. GREAT GAINS MADE BY BAPTIST OF N. C. first not believed. Afterward a com mission of Inquiry was sent out, under an escort of 500 Cossacks, with three mountain guns. The commission oc cupied the town by. surprise and re turned to Vladivostok with a complete report : It discovered that the repub lic. had been started first as a holy retreat for ascetics and that It after ward fell Into the hands of Russian and Chinese convicts and prospered amazingly. The Russian commission, carefully guarded by the 500 Cossacks, set Itself to examine the laws and economic state of the republic- They had op portunities to see the law at work. When they entered the village a man was being hung up by the heels for stealing a horse and not far off a naked Chinese, who had been beaten to death, lay in the snow. Around his body danced Imansk women, singing menacing songs. The punished Chi nese, it appears, had broken the local fishing law. The Imansk republic proved to have a whole code of laws, which cannot be traced to any Russian or other ori gin. Newark News.
