The only responsibility that a man can't evade in this life is tne one ne thinks of least his personal influ enee. Man's conscious influence, when he is on dress parade, when he is posing to impress those around him is woefully small. But his uncon scious influence, the silent subtle ra diation of his personality, the effect of his words and acts, the trifles he nev er considers is tremendous. Every moment of life he is changing to a deeree the life of the whole world Every man has an atmosphere which is affecting every other. So silently and unconsciously is this influence working that man may foget that it exists Into the hands of every individual is given a marvelous power for good or for evil the silent, unconscious, unseen influence of his life. This is simply the constant radiation of what man really is, not what he pretends to be. Every man, by his mere liv ing, is radiating sympathy, or sorrow, or morbidness or cynicism, or happi ness) or hope. ATTEND INSTITUTES. Farmers' and Women's Institutes will be held at Fairmont, and Lumber Ion this week, at Fairmont Thursday 12th, and at Lumberton Friday, 13th. It is to be hoped that these Insti tutes will be attended by more farm ers and farmers wives and daughters this year than attended the Insti utes held in Lumberton last year. Many laft year missed a ?olden opportunity to learn many things they might . uavt been putting into practice d aring the past year to their benefit. At these Institutes practical problems that come up every day on the farm and in the home are discussed by men and women who have made a special study of the most improved methods employed by the most up-to-dat and 'juccessful farmers, and by women who have reduced home management to a science. These Institutes are held for the benefit of farmers and women who live on the farms. They should be attend ed by hundreds where they are attend ed by tens. The only way men learn the best methods in anything is by ex perimenting, and the lectures at these institutes tell what others have found out by experience to be the best meth ods of farming, how to get the most out of an acre of land with the least labor and expense, how to lighten home work and make home life more attractive. Every farmer and every housekeep er, whether she lives on a farm or hot, should make it a point to attend these Institutes. No farmer can attend one of these Farmers' Institutes without learning something to his advantage; and no housekeeper can attend one of the Women's Institutes without learn ing something to her advantage. Theseyopportunities for farmers to bear discussions on farm ope rations, crops, live stock, marketing, etc., and for women to hear discus sions on home economics, home con veniences, health in the home, care and education of children, and other topics of interest to mothers and home-makers, are brought right to your doors. They are opportunities you cannot afford to miss. -o News item: Lumberton needs a ho tel and a tobacco sales warehouse.

Littauer, a former Congressman, and his brother were fined $1,000 each and sentenced to six months in j" 'r sKgHng. The court, how- ever, suspended judgment in the , matter of the jail penalty, the judge easing his conscience by explaining that he had not found it the custom in that district to inflict such penal ties. No more is other districts to inflict such peralties ; crcn' ana M v,nar.oe is con I where the defendants are wealthy Mere something of a church-going i a nrominent. The judge farther relieved himself by giving the de j fendants a severe grilling, in the i course of his remarks saying that ( fact one o( them had gerved ten years in Congress and the general high standing of the offenders aggra vated rather than mitigated their of fense. "If any distinction is to be made," said the judge, "it appears to me it should be in favor of an unedu cated person. For an ex-Congressman so. far to forget his oath, taken eight times, and knowing so well the laws he helped to frame, seems to be in comprehensible." The defendants had plead guilty to two other indict ments charged smuggling and conspir acy to defraud. It is quite the thing to make a jail sentence in such cases of none effect and then to moralize about how much worse it is for the educated man of high standing, who has had honors be stowed upon him, to commit a crime than it is for the unfortunate ignorant person fighting blindly for a bare liv ing to do the same thing; but it takes a brave judge to depart from the beaten path and make such true ob servations as this New York judge made on this occasion more than emp ty words. ABATE THIS NUISANCE. The Robesonian has been asked re cently by seral ladies to ask the town fathers to please do something about people throwing into the streets bits of paper and other light trash that the wind can easily scatter about. One lady 'phoned The Robeson ian in great distress. She had just paid a man to thoroughly clean her yard, but somebody else near by had a yard and house cleaning also and threw paper into the street, and the wind did the rest, scattering paper all over the yard of the neighbor that had just been at such pains to put it in applepie order. Just why it is would be hard to explain, but everyone who has been bothered by such things will tell you that paper thus thrown into the street never blows back into the yard of the per son who had it thrown out but into the yard of the neighbor who has most recently had his yard cleaned up. It is always so. The Robesohian passes the com plain along and begs the town fa thers to please do something. Do not let the housekeepers plead in vain. A good move was made when the powers put the law on festive chickens that have heretofore been eating up all one's garden sass. Let another good move be made by making it a high I crime and misdemeanor to throw pa- j per into the streets. It gives no end 6 of trouble to people who try to keep j their yards neat and cleaii;. and be sides bits of paper scattered about the streets present a most unsightly appearance and give strangers a bad impression of the town. we Deiieve there is an ordinance I married through a self-performed cer regulating this sort of nuisance.

An inter esting case involving this point came up at the recent term of Robeson Superior Court.

President Takes Firm Stand Against Exemption of American Ships Honor is at Stake. Washington Dispatch, 5th. President Wilson today announced that he would endeavor to have re pealed at the present session of Con gress that provision of the Panama Canal act which exempts American coastwise ships from the payment of tolls. He made his position clear to callers today in unequivocal terms. The President believes that the Hay-Pauncefote treaty with Great Britain guarantees equality of treat ment to all .Nations, including the United States, in the matter of tolls and that the United States is in hon or bound to charge American vessels the same tolls that it imposes upon boats of foreign Nations. The Presi dent impressed upon his callers that he would use every legitimate influ ence at his disposal to have the ex emption clause eliminated from the Panama Canal act. This announcement was expected by administration leaders at the capi ,tol. The President's views will be carried out in the house with little difficulty, according to Representative Adamson, chairman of the Inter-State and foreign commerce committee, who tonight said Congress undoubtedly would act quickly by a "straight out rereal." Not so certain, however, are some of the Democratic leaders in the Sen ate that the President will be sustain ed in his resolve on the question, which has agitated American relations with Great Britain for several years and has been a subject of internal controversy since the passage of the Panama Canal act in 1912. Senator O'Gorman, chairman of thj inter Oceanic ?anals committee, which had charge of he bill and who led the vic torious fight in the Senate to exempt coastwise v.ssels fro-" tell: tonight declared his purpose to lsmd by his convictions and fight th President's desire. Other Senators pointed to the re cent action of the foreign relations committee in recommending the Brit ish general arbitration treaty for ex tension as an indication that the Sen ate is ready to rescind its action on the tolls question, fear of having to submit it to arbitration having de layed its extension by the Senate last summer. Senator Stone who voted for the provision, has said he would vote for the repeal, taking the posi tion that under the treaty the United States still has the right to levy any ! tolls it. wishes, and the excmDtion should be stricken out in deference to international good feeling and in line with a desire to avoid any ill feel ing with Great Britain.

" ' Attorney General Bickett and Cor poration Commissioner Travis made argument before the Inter-State Com merce commission today inthe freight rate case controversy between North Carolina and Virginia cities. They urge the commission to permit the Southern Railway and other roads to put into effect an agreement between the carriers and North Carolina some time ago. "Upon the whole," they said, "we believe that the putting into effect of the rates agreed upon between the State of North Carolina and the car riers would result in no unjust dis crimination against any point, and that it does not produce any violation of the fourth section which is unreas onable or unjust of practical import ance, and we trust that the petition of the carriers for relief from thl fourth section will be promptly grant ed." The commission seemed greatly in- terested in the argument and Mr Bickett and the North Carolina com missioners think they made a good im pression and that they will win.

Hopes of women suffragists that the present Democratic administra tion would see Federal legislation en franchising the women of the country were checked the other day when Rep resentative Underwood of Alabama, majority leader of the House put the Democratic party squarely on record as opposed to Federal action. Repre sentative Underwood declared that the Democratic party took the posi tion that the question of suffrage was one which. should be left to the indi vidual States to settle.
