And in the closing days of the 65th Congress Republican leaders blocked all efforts to put through im portant legislation and conducted an unpatriotic and asinine filibuster1 in the horje of forcing President Wilson lto call an extra session of Congress wherein they mignt do worK inai wiey might have done weeks before, if they had not been so enamored of their own oratory. Even on the eve of getting back into power, before they have fairly wired the reins, the Re publicans have begun the record that is going to .make the country increas ingly regretful from day to day that in foolish impatience it gave them an other lease of power. o As stated in The Robesonian some weeks ago, and as explained in a news item elsewhere in this issue, an elec tion will be held in the Lumberton school district "On the first Monday in April to determine whether or not a special tax of two and a half times the present tax shall be levied. When The Robesonian reporter started out the other day to get up a news item about this election it was hard to find anybody who knew anything about it. The election will be held three weeks from today, but no one seems to have given the matter con sideration up to this time. -o There will be a scramble presently, no doubt, among counties to get in first on constructing roads under the new State law which provides that if a county will bear one-fourth the, ex pense the State and the Federal gov ernment will bear the other three fourths and roads will be constructed under the direction of the State High way commission. What attitude is Robeson's road commissioners going to take on this proposition? Here's a chance to begirt to get out of the mud. The ReWsonian would be glad to see Robeson county among the first to get whatever benefit it may u nniKln tn Horivo from the new ur pvooiuit. .v " " v In Robeson county the sum of $15, 809.02 was subscribed for the boys in service during the United War Wcrk campaign. Of this sum, $1,154.25 yet remains unpaid. This money was sub scribed as a direct gift to the boys to provide home comforts and ser vice, recreation, education, whole some amusement. There are still about two million men in serv ice, and during this period they need the in fluence of the welfare agencies more than ever, to keep the period of de mobilization from becoming a period of demoralization. It is to be hoped itfit those who have not yet ppid their pledges will lose no time in do ing so. -o t A Wilmington dispatch Bays that Mr. L. Clayton Grant of that city, fresh from service in the House of the Legislature, is looking for other worlds to conquer and that it is gen erally accepted as correct tnat Mr. Grant will oppose Representative nndwin for the Democratic nomina tion for Congress next year. ' The Robesonian hears tnat Mr. i nomas Cooper of Wilmington also has aBpirp. finna in the same direction. Mr.. God win no doubt will have some stiff Op position next trip,' Mr. J. W. Carter, who died the oth er day at bis home in Maxton, was for many years a prominent figure in the business and political life -of Robeson. He was a man of more than ordinary force and ability. Mayhis rest be sweet. o , 4; - Every little while aomebody trots out another candidate for Governor. Indications are that everybody's choice is going to run. o Miss Mary D. Conoley, a Red Cross nurse, returned today to Richmond, Va., where she is stationed, after spending a few days here visiting friends. . . f- Mr. Clarence Davis of IU-1, Lum berton, was among the visitors in town Saturday.
