ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORTS.
Entered at tbe Postofflce at Raleigh,
N. C., as Second-class Matter.
There were no indications at
11:30 of snow today.
It is said that a Lexington, S. C,
audience got Cole Blease's goat the
other day. The governor pardoned
a lot of folks who had applied the
torch in that county and done other
evil things and the voters asked him
about the matter.
It seems that the prosecutors will
connect the police in New York with
the gambling Joints. New York is
a big city and has over 8,000 police
men and to find in that large num
ber of men :- a few crooks more or
less is not surprising. It is to be
hoped that the guilty officers will be
brought to judgment.
That Seattle judge did not wait
for them to impeach bim. He shook
the robes off his person about the
time the CDmmlttee got after bim
with the probe and announced that
be would practice law. Judge Han
ford was charged with malfeasance
and other things. His conduct
might have been worse than it has
been painted or it might have not
been as bad, but the judge had noth
ing to gain if It were bad enough to
cause his removal. And he doubt
less knew that.
So far nobody has arisen to pro
test against the establishment of an
abattoir and rendering plant on a
part of the city farm and we hope
here will be no objection to the
sale of the city farm. Every cor
poration ought to do Its best to take
care of its stockholders and the city
of Raleigh could not protect its peo
ple better, than by establishing the
abattoir and rendering plant. The
farm should not be a money-making
proposition, and its sale should oc
casion no regrets, provided it brings
its worth.
NECESSITIES.
Winston voted bonds in the sum
or $400,000 for public improve
ments, $90,000 of which will be used
for a hospital and $15,00.0 for a sys
tem of parks. We call attention to
these items because it is not custom
ary for voters to regard hospitals
and parks as necessities, but the
time is coming when a city will be
judged as much by Its parks and hos
pitals as by Its schools and churches.
A city cannot develop as It should
unless it has the proper advantages.
Raleigh is fortunate In Its psirV.s
'and hospitals, but it Is still short of
other cities In sanitation.

HAM SANDWICHES IN
GREENSBORO AND CHARLOTTE.
We are. fully aware that the high
cost of living had crawled up to an
alarming point, but we must confess
It has reached a point beyond our ex
pectation, if we are to credit the
statement of an Oxford gentleman
who has returned from a trip to the
western part of the state. Our friend
advises us that he stopped off at
Greensboro, and while waiting for
his train saw a man come from a
nearby restaurant with a ham sand
which in his hand, which he ex
hibited to a crowd of fellow trav
elers, remarking on the tissue-like
thinness of the ham. A gentleman,
noting the discomfiture of the hungry
man, laid a soothing hand on his
shoulder and remarked: "My friend
let nie tell you something; you may
think that piece of ham is thin, but
you just wait until you get to Char
lotte and ask for a ham sandwich
and see what you get. Why sir,
take my word for it, they have a
machine by which they photograph a
piece of ham on the bread and hand
it to you for a dime." Oxford

M.i nhas. M. Stedman. represen
tative of congress from this district,
was among the one hundred con
gressmen piloted to Sea Girt the
other day to call-on Governor Wil
son. In giving an account of the
viait. the New York World said :
"Maj. Charles M, Stedman, of
Greensboro, N. C, wno represents
th fifth North Carolina district in
congress, was perhaps the most dis
tinguished looking oi au tne smiea

Raleijjh'8 New Ordinance.
(Chatham Record.)
. The aldermen of Raleigh have
passed an ordinance prohibiting the
railroad companies from running
their trains through any part of
that city at a higher rate of speed
than four miles an hour. Although
this ordinance is of a local character,
yet it seriously affects the traveling
public, and therefore it may rot
be improper in persons and papers
outside of that city criticising and
censuring such an ordinance.
If every town through which a
railroad runs should adopt a sim
ilar ordinance there would be just
cause for the traveling public to
complain of slow schedules. If thiB
ordinance is carried into effect our
capital city Bhould not complain if
the Seaboard Air Line Railway
should build a railroad (for their
fast trains at least) around Raleigh,
as has been contemplated for some
time, and thus displace that city
rom its main line. .

Press Comment.
', Issues.
In time of trouble, stck to the old,
reliable issues. Thirty years ago It
was the opinion of some republican
leaders that there was still one more
president in the Bloody Shirt. Mr.
Taft, today, seems to believe that
there is still one more president in
the protective tariff. Forecasts from
Washington indicate that the tariff
is to be probably the most important
feature of Mr. Taft 'a campaign plat
form. It is not to be called protec
tion, mind you; it is republican
tariff revision as opposed to demo
cratic free trade. But there is an
extraordinary resemblance between
the blessings that will flow from
tariff revision and those that have
always emanated from high protec
tion. There is an equally striking
resemblance between the dangers
that will follow the rejection of tar
iff revision and those that would
have followed the abandonment of
high protection, say, fifteen years
ago. Business depression will come,
of course, and long periods of un
certainty for the manufacturer and
"loss of employment to thousands of
workingmen." How the fond mem
ories of Harrison's and McKiniey's
days rise at the familiar words!
Only many things have happened
during these years. Among other
things thousands of business men
have learned that the protective tar
iff is not incompatible with five
years of almost continuous business
depression, and incidents like the
Lawrence strike have revealed to
tens of thousands of workingmen
the beneftcient effect of the tariff on
their wages and their standard of
living. New Y'ork Evening Post.
Private Use of Public Offices.
The political use of offices which
should be administered oily in the
service of the people is a republican
abuse. The present fashion was set
by McKinley, continued by Roose
velt and reduced to the absurd by
Taft. When the head of the nation
uses his office to personal advantage
and becomes a peripatetic politician,
his subordinates naturally instate
his example, and so it has come
about that offices and appointment
have been grossly manipulated in
the interest of partisanship or can
didacies. The sight which the Am
erican people have beheld in the last
decade has been disgusting, for
presidents have become no more
than . traveling county fair exhibits.
and of no more dignity than ward
politicians. President, senators,
governors and representatives have
been treating public offices as if
they belonged to them as much as
do their motor cars and their gold
headed canes.
What is the use of an office for
personal account but graf:'' It is
worse than graft t put a man into
public position and then ordtr him
to us) it as a political job. When
a public servant is paid a salary for
performing certain duties and fails
to perform them or hires some one
else at public cost to do them, he is
a fraudulent official and a grafter.
Woodrow Wilson stands for a
cleaner, better, right policy in this
respect. If he is elected, he would
do as he is now doing; he would
stay at home and stay on the job. It
is unbelievable that he would pros
titute public office to private pur
pose, it is unbelievable that he
would spend a great part of his ad
ministration in a private car instead
of in the executive office. It is un
believable that he would use his cab
inet officers as political agents, and
that he would take public servants
off their jobs to put them on politi
cal missions. If Taft is to be known
as "The Private-Car President,"
Wilson would be known as the "Stay
Put President." Richmond Times
Dispatch. Municipal New York. .
In this period of New York's trou
ble and sore disgrace, when many
circumstances Indicate police com
plicity in the assassination of a gam
bler who had uncovered police graft,
the metropolis may at least feel the
consolation of knowing that no re
proach can possibly attach to the
responsible city heads. Officials like
Mayor Gaynor and District Attorney
hitman are above the atmosphere
in which the tragedy Is involved.
Neither ; can any one charge them
with displaying lack of diligence
now or heretofore. New York city's
government is sound at the top, any
way. Its boards of financial ad
ministration are trustworthy and in
telligent, as well as the city officem
of the class named. It can wisely
decide and get honestly executed
such great municipal projects as the
subways and the Catsklll water
scheme it can acquit ltseir wen
enough so far as the men conspicu
ously responsible to the electorate
are concerned, if these men coma
hold their subordinates as complete
ly responsible toward them as they
are held toward tne puDiic, mere
would be, with rare exceptions, hon
esty and efficiency all around. That
is to say, New'York needs tne prac
tical operation, if not the form, of
commission government. It Is
through the multitude of lnconsplcu
oua officials, necessarily voted for
without discrimination on ballots
whole feet long or appointed by such
officials acting as agents of the po
litical bosses, that the Influences or
bad government get In their work.
There is too much that continues re
mote from any effort at the polls
which disinterested friends of goo a
covernment can exert.
New York was patriotically de
scribed bv Mayor Gaynor rome time
ago as "one of the best-govei ned
laree cities In the world." bo New
York is, at the top. No stronger
municipal patriotism, no more zeal
ous public morality, exists anywhere.
Good government majorities clean
up everything within reach, it la
down below, where they cannot
makeselvea felt because the men
commissioned by them are virtually
superseded by the bosses beyor.d a

THE 1913 MODELS.
We are Informed by the arbiters
of fashion, who do most of their
arbitiug in some foreign land, where
they cannot be reached by the ulti
mate consumer,
that the 1913
models in hobble
skirts will -make
the 1912 style
look like a wire
hooped Mother
Hubbard of the
vintage og 1 Sa2.
At present, 2 1-4
yards of sheeting
are required to
erect a tube skirt
which a woman
has to drop into
from the top of a
step-ladder. This
voluminous and
loose-flowlnj; Gar
ment is now to be discarded lr.'
favor of one which consumes only
i i- yaras ana requires the wearer
to get along without any hips or
waist.
The obtrusive hip wilt not be in
anybody's repertoire next year who
does not wish to, take other people's
dust. The receding instep-of the Sc
inch waist will also become a plain
tive memory.
It is proposed to start the waist
immediately below the chin aiui ul
low it to taper" gently to the aukles
in a nea peg-top effect. This will be
a great boon to stout society leader
who have always had more waist
than they knew what do do with.
The general effect of this reform
will be to give woman the chaste,
severe lines of a hoe handle, without
preventing her In the slightest de
gree Troni tripping on the top step
and falling down two flights of stairs
in a vivacious parabola.
After a woman has been poured
itno one of these skirls in a breath
less condition, she will not be able
to do much ot anything except pant
in a hurried and unostentatious
manner. But she will be in style
from all points of the compass.
Some ftf these 1913 skirt models
come in sections, like prepared roof
ing, ana can be put on by anybody
who has a plumber's license, with
the aid of a bottle of liauid clue.
The most exensive kinds are guaran
teed to lit. like an alaca coat in a
stiff breeze.
Women who expect to get In on
the 1913 models should fast three
times a day, between meals, run
around a half-mile track before
breakfast and abstain from starchy
foods.
Become Self-Supporting.
We were much interested in an
address of Mr. W. G. Holmes of
New York delivered at Fayettevllle
before the ; meeting of the North
Carolina Association for the Blind
in June. This remarkable statement
was made concerning our school for
the blind in Raleigh under the direc
tion of Mr. John E. Ray. kNear
ly 90 per cent Of the pupils of this
school become self ' supporting, a
showing not made by any other
school for the blind in this coun
try or in the world." Mr. Holmes

Mrs. M. A. McLaughlin, R12 Jay

suffered all kinds of pains In her
back and hips on account ot kidney
trouble and rheumatism. "I got

ALLENS ARE SAID
TO BE IN DAVIDSON
(Special to The Times.)
Lexington, July 25. Are the sur
vivors of the Allen gang in David
son county? A great many people
believe that they are. Two men
that answer the descriptions Of Sid
na Allen and Wesley Edwards have
been seen In several sections of the
county, and, so far as The Dispatch
Knows, they are still within two
miles of Lexington.
Suspicions were aroused when a
letter was taken up along one of the
rural routes north' of the city ad
dressed to Mrs. Sidna Allen. Of
course, some citizen of Davidson
might have desired to drop Mrs.
Sidna Allen a few lines, but that is
hardly probable. Then, when two
men filling almost exactly the de
scriptions of the two outlaws ap
peared at the home of a good
farmer in Tyro and spent the night,
there was more talk. One of the
men had a wound on his arm that
had not quite healed and both were
literally "armed to the teeth."
A few days ago two men were Been
near Abbots Creek, a short distance
southeast of the city, certainly the
same pair that had been seen in the
upper end of the county. They "laid
out" in the woods near this point
for four days.
h to the present writing Sheriff
Delap and his deputies have evinced
no burning desire to lay hands on
either of the suspected parties,
though there" are rewards of $1,000
outstanding for each.
