Subscription price $1.U0 a year, six months 50 cents, three months 25 cents. This paper is sent only to subscribers who pay in advance. Advertising rates on application. Telephone No. 54. Friday, January 24, 1913. We tind there is a growing ing sentiment in favor of a Re corder's Court for Lenoir and Lower Creek townships. There are many reasons why the es tablishment of such a court would be of great benefit to our community. One of the chief reasons is that it would keep inach business off the docket of the Superior court and thus re duce the expenses of the courts for the County. The Recorder would have jurisdiction in all m itters up to felonies and they could be immediately adjudicat ed, instead of waiting until the regular sitting of the Superior Courts. The business now going before the Mayor of Lenoir would be tried before the Re corder, a court of higher juris diction and it would eliminate much friction along this line. We are not advised as to the ex pense attached to such a court, but from what we know about them, we are inclined to think one for the territory named would be a good move. We note a resolution has been in troduced in the Legislatures, asking the Attorney General for information as to the costs of -Recorders courts, with a view of establishing them instead of creating more judicial districts in the State with an increase of judges. Jf the Legislature which is perhaps wisely discussing legis lation to protect women and children from too long hours working in cotton mills, can devise some legislation that will make the men who loaf around the mills and live off the work of the women and children, do something to help supio-t their families, they will solve much of the trouble with the Child Labor problem. Many of these old "soaks'' aro amply able to hunt and tish but insist they are not able tj work. The bill of Senator Allen of Buncombe for the establishment of the Western Crrolina Teach ers' Training School, carries an appropriation of" SJTi.f X K ). This is little enough in view of the need of such an institution and Hhe Legislature wil robabl v find away to provide the money. Things are not evenly balanced with one school of this kind in the east and none in the west -Charlotte Observer. (dow about the Appalachian Training School at Boone? News.) Senator Jones of Forsythe in troluced a resolution in the 'ftt'iwe on the first day of the ses- siba looking to the reduction of t ie number of employees of the legislature, but the measure has Aiet with hard sledding and is ' jet tiot passed. It seems a num ; terof members have promised jobs to friends and they can not vfurnUh them if the Jones meas ure, which is worthy one goes ' through. Woman suffrage is coming in this country and it is perfectly right that it should,. The wo-i men do not want to take charge of affairs of Government, but the men make such a failure of it they are forced to do so as a matter of self protection. We believe if the women of the state had been in charge of the state finances, the deficit that is now giving so much trouble would not have occurred. They have a faculty of making "ends meet" that men do not have. How many widows one can think of who have done better after the death of the husband and father. Raised the children, given them education and kept things going better than the old man was ever able to do. Just so we believe they would do in matters of the state. It is a humiliating ackonowledgment for a man to make, but there is no use arguing against facts. And as to qualifications for vot ing, most of them are better qualified than their "liege lords," have a more diserning and accurate judgement and are far above him in the matter of being swayed by corrupting in flences. A hundred men default where one woman goes wrong in financial matters and most men who amount to anything in the world owe much of their success to the wise counsels of a good wife. Iet woman suf frage come, we are for it and the sooner it comes the better. There are no true and logical arguments against it. Mr. Justice of Guilford intro duced a resolution in the legis lature recently inviting W. J. Bryan, Governor Wilson and Senator LaFollette to address the North Carolina Legislature at their conveniece, on the sub ject of modern politics, etc. The House passed the resolution with some opposition, but when the measure got to the Senate, that body made a joke of it, which we think was the right treatment of such an invitation. The legislature is supposed to have assembled to work for the interests of the State and not to listen to speeches. Caldwell county is about to take her place in the congress of good roads." At a recent meeting of good roads advocates held at Lenoir it was decided to ask the legislature to allow the people to vote on a $:i(X),(XX) bond issue for building good roads in the county. The peo pie of Caldwell are a vigorous and progressive people; the county is rich in natural resour ces and we are fully persuaded that once the authority is given Caldwell will not be long in shaking off her "mud tax." Greensboro News. The measure introduced in the legislature iermitting all towns, that desire to do so, to vote on the question of the Commission form of town government, is a good one and should pass. This form of government is growing in favor and popularity all over the country and there is no rea son why any town that desires to do so might not vote on the establishment of it. Many towns in the State are moving for it now and a general law would eliminate the necessity of much special legislation and reach the same result. Now, Mr. Citizen, if you wish the roads of Caldwell County improved show your desire; for the good work by attending the meeting here "on the 3rd of Feb ruary and assist in . organizing a County Good Roads Association. STuch an organization will have much work to do and every man who wants better roads should be a member. The time has ar rived to act now and it is "put up or shut up," if you are in favor of roads show it or quit talking about it. It is pretty difficult for a man who hasn't anything to say to know just how to say it. A title often sells a book as easily as it buys an heiress.
