C, SATURDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 7, 1912. spreckles working for w1l . son. . Rudolph Spreckles, of San Fran cisco, public spirited enemy of graft, friend and supporter of Senator La Follette and a leader of the progres sive movement on the Pacific coast, has begun active work as president of the Wilson national progressive republican league. Mr. Spreckles will devote a great deal of his time during the present campaign to building up this organization. When the citizens of San Fran cisco began to murmur and grow restive under the brazen exploita tion of Schmitz and Ruef, Mr. Spreckles proved to be the man of 'the hour. He personally financed an extensive investigation of graft con ditions and personally expended large sums'to bring to life the sordid detailB of the system by which the . people of San Francisco were an nually robbed of millions. The story of the graft exposures in San Fran cisco . and the subsequent prosecu tion and conviction of Schmitz, Ruef and many others is ; recent history. During the last few years Mr. Spreckels has attained national stat ure in the cause of good government and his activities in behalf of the progressive wing of the republican party are well known. He has given his time, his abilities and his money unstintedly and without regard to bis personal advancement; indeed it Is. a remarkable fact that Mr. Spreckels has never asked for any thing in the way of political honors but has always given his services with unselfish regard for the pub lic's good. In no,, instance has he proved this fact more conclusively than by his acceptance of the presi dency of the Wilson national pro gressive republican league. He has not withdrawn from the republican party, but because he believes that the progressive cause will best be served by the election of Governor Wilson, he has decided to do what he can to bring that election about. He Is a firm believer in Woodrow Wilson and does not believe In Theo dore Roosevelt. Of the Roosevelt movement. He says: "Roosevelt secured the support of many progressive republican loaders who were over-anxions for mere vic tory and who accepted the leadership of Roosevelt because he has the art of advertising and stirring up pub lic interest, by making a great noise In his very theatrical manner of con ducting a political campaign, all of which is calculated to mislead a vast number of people for the moment. Besides he has demonstrated his ability to secure campaign funds, far beyond anything a real progressive could hope to collect. ;'. The progres sive cause was lost sight of by many recognized leaders In their great de sire for possible political victory, that would satisfy personal ambitions re - gardless of Its ultimate effect upon the Hunt for principles. . "Fortunately, all progressive re publicans are not self-seeking and ven now the rank and file of pro gressive voters will have come to : understand clearly that success for the establishment of truly represen tative government will not come through following these men who seek vflrst- to serve their own per sonal ambitions, before considering the interests of the whole people. ",. "Id California there Is a growing resentment among the rank and file ''of " progressive republican voters against Roosevelt, and our state ad' ministration which is employing old time politloal machine methods In their effort, to carry California for Roosevelt.

The Times is especially gratified that these ordinances have been passed. For the last four years it has per sistently urged upon our people the necessity for better regulations of the dairies, butcher pens and mar kets, with thorough inspection of their products offered for sale. It is therefore very pleasing to this paper, after a four years fight, to see these ordinances adopted by a unanimous vote of the board of al dermen. The new ordinances or the meat inspection ordinance rather, supplement the ordinance establish ing an abattoir and rendering plant. Taken together with other new sani tary ordinances they will give Ra leigh standing among the foremost sanitary cities of the country. Of course there are some things to be desired yet and an ordinance was introduced last night covering one of these matters. This related to compulsory connection between premises and sewers wherever pos sible. We hope to have proper en forcement of all these laws and when they all become effective we believe we will have better health condi tions and we know we will have bet ter meat and milk than we are now getting. MORE CONVENTIONS. The chamber of commerce is in formed by Dr. Joseph Hyde Pratt, state geologist, that the fifth annual convention of the North Carolina Drainage Association will be held here the latter part of November or early iu December. The last ses sion was held at Elizabeth City, and the chamber of commerce at ' that time extended a special invitation to hold the 1912 session in Raleigh. : The chamber of com merce is al trying to get tne North Carolina Farmers' Union to hold its next state convention here in December. Raleigh's advantages as a meet ing place for the farmers as well as the representatives of all other lines of effort are set out most clearly and forcibly sin the invitation, which has been placed in the hands of all the members of the executive com mittee. Raleigh is keeping up its reputation as the "Convention City" and it is very gratifying to know, that of all the numerous conventions held, here this year all have been successful. The Farmers' Union will find Raleigh to its liking; with admirable railway schedules, splen did hotel accommodations, the finest assembly hall In the Btate and all sorts of other conveniences. Atten tion is called to the fact that the annual convention of the farmers, held In August at the Agricultural and Mechanical College, was by far the greatest ever held, both in at tendance and work accomplished, and that those who were present de clared they would see that many more came next year. When the Raleigh board of alder men buried the hatchet and got down to business it accomplished something. In the many important matters acted upon last night the vote was unanimous each time. That has been the case with all the big questions considered the last few months and steady progress has beer. made. "Between twelve and fifteen miles of new cement sidewalk since April" Is the gist of the report of Alderman Cooper of the street committee, made last night. That is a good showing and Mr. Cooper reported further that the work is going on steadily until all the streets have good side walks. A very Interesting report has been Issued by the Memphis, Tenn., cot ton exchange, which shows what a remarkable business that great mar ket doos and also throws some light on the prices of cotton. The gross receipts at that market during the year .which ended August 31, were 939,670 bales, the average weight being 630 pounds, or about three pounds lesa than theV year before. only $52, as against $91 the pr.evio lUS season. Thus, though there was an increase of 49,000 bales, the total val ue of the receipts fell over twelve and a half million dollars. . Mem phis handled six per cent of all the cotton grown in the United States The average date of the first open boll in the Memphis territory was July 30; first bloom June 13th; first bale August 18th; first frost Oeto ber 9: first killing frost October 28th. Press Comment. The Fairness of Newspapers. In a recent editorial the Fourth Estate commented upon the fairness of the newspapers in giving wide spread publicity to men and meas urers opposed to the editorial policy of the journals thus exploiting them. For the sake of definiteness we fas tened upon the case of Mr. Roosevelt, with whom many editors differ radi cally. Almost any one in- political life who holds pronounced opinions would serve Just as well for an ex ample. There is good basis tor me pre mise that editors can oe xuu uu i" their news policies. We have in mind several newspapers which seem almost to be over-fair. Is a newspaper to be considered fair that prints in full the statements of an opponent when it is satisfied he is making misstatements yet con tents itself with controverting these utterances within the restricted con lines of its editorial colums, on an other page? Resort may be made to the ques tion of advertising for a similar comparison. No nonesiiy conoucieu newspaper condones or permits oo viously false claims to be made in its advertising colums. Nevertheless most newspapers per mit nublic men to make obviously erroneous claims or charges in their news colums in the guise of inter views or speeches. This is a day of loose speaking. Tongues were never before so un guarded in the history of any nation. Publicity therefore has almost as many bad uses as there are good ones. The newspaper that shall attempt to answer misstatements of officials or oilier public men by paralleling the truth in colums beside that which is untrue will be accused on every side of assuming to mould pub lic opinion to conform to the editor s personal viewpoint. Editors who diligently eliminate misstatements made by men figuring in the news will face charges of news suppression. It should be understood tnat tnis exposition of over-fairness is not in tended to take account of matters that are libelous. There are laws for that purpose. But all untruthful statements are hot necessarily libel ous, it Is over this typo of utterance that a type of editorial supervision or censorship Is suggested. This mere germ of an idea is not our exclusive possession. Many edi tors share it with us. Some day this idea will expand, and when it does, there will be developments affectln the profession of editing newspa pers. Fourth Estate. The Sunday Mail. In the expiring hours of Congress a little piece of legislation slipped through both houses and has been signed by the President. This law prohibits the delivery of mall by post offices of the first and second class unless it is put in the special delivery class which means that the government gets ten cents for de livering It. This is not moral re form. It is simply a cunning form of graft In the name of morality. The reason given for this proceed ing is "to reduce the Sunday work to a minimum so that as many of the employees as possible may en joy a complete day of rest." That looks pious, but it is not as pious as it looks. In order to attend to the special delivery mall the whole mass must be inspected, and very few of the regular force in the post office can be dispensed with. The government is not over solicitous about the moral welfare' of its em ployees anyhow. The main motive for this sly little picco of legisla tion was probably to Increase the revenue by forcing patrons of the post office to fork . over an extra ten cents for each letter they get on Sunday. The Sunday paper will not be seriously affected. Except In towns other than those In which they are published, as they are de livered by carriers and not through the post office. One gleam of light through the darkness and that is that the children In small towns will not have their minds distracted by the hideous "funny paper that are a nuisance on any day of the week much more on Sunday. ' The objection to the whole trans action is not that the people who read and answer their mall on Sun day are to be deprived of that pri vilege (that is not an objection at all but a benefit) but the nypocrlsy of our lawmakers who pretent to be so concerned about the sancit of the Sabbath, but who are really interested In the money they can make out of the Sabbath day. Vharity and Children. Mrs. J. N. Hill, Homer, Qa., lias used Foley's Honey and Tar Cora pound for years, and says she al ways recommends It to her friends, "It never fails to cure our coughs and colds and prevents croup. : We have five children and always give them Foley's Honey and Tar Com pound for a cold, and they are all soon well, We would not be without It tn our house."

We rise to hang a floral wreath on the bulbous brow of Thomas A. Edison, whose name will be familiar to many of our readers who buy olec- tricity by the short watt. Mr. Edison is one of the best and most fertile inventors this country has ever produced. He formed the habit in -, early youth, and is now well fixed and able to take his meals out. Mr. Edison was born in Milan, Ohio, which had been invented on ly a short time before and is still where he left it He began life as a train boy, and sold unexpurgated literature and the plastic gum drop with great suc cess. But he was not satisfied. Something within him, which has been bothering him ever since, im pelled him on and led him to be come a telegraph operator, when he first came in contact with the kind of electricity which creates head-end collJ'-ions. After Mr. Edison had learned the RIZO A meek compleckshuncd, imposed on lookin feller was talkin today about the high cost of livin. He was lambastin the government, the state. the county, the city anevcrybody While shopping the most annoy ing thing for me is to have someone try to 'sell - me something "just as good" when I ask lor Newbro's Her picide. To be sure there are not many druggists who do this, but what few there are should know that such a policy will destroy the cus tomer's confidence. When they try it on me I never wait for the story, simply hunt a store where they will seii me what I want. It Is absurd for anyone to say that a preparation is as good as Hcrpl- cide. I don't think they believe it themselves. Every druggist knows that there Is but one genuine, orig inal dandruff germ destroyer and If you want to know what and what's happening all over eigh Times.

Whenever he wanted some thing that nobody else had thought of ho would Invent it and then cry "Eureka" after having It patented in several different languages. Most of Mr. Edison's patents are still do ing business at the old stand.' Mr. Edison gets along on less sleep than any of tir inventors except those who are being sued for In fringement. Some days he won't do any inventing at all, to speak of, and then again Genius will seize him by his back hair and cause him to throw off a new storage battery or a self dumping coffee mill. He sleeps with a pencil over his left ear and a tab let under the pillow, thiis making it Invosslble for any meritorious In vention to get away. Mr. Edison gives away a great deal of money without advertising for bids and has helped many a young man to get somewhere on his own power.
