H. A. LONDON, Editor. WEDNESDAY. APRIL 12. 1916. Roosevelt may force the Re publican national convention to nominate him for President next June, or at least dictate the nom ination, by threatening to run again as he did four years ago, and thus make certain the re election of President Wilson. There is no doubt that he has a large personal following who will do as he wishes them to do. The Republican convention must act as he dictates or its nominee will meet the fate of ex-President Taft four ago. The experience of four years ago may be repeat ed this year. The Republican state execu tive committee met at Greens boro last Saturday and selected the candidates for the state offi fices for whom the Republicans should vote at the primary elec tion on the 3rd of June. This is in accordance with the custom of the bosses of the Republican party in this state dictating to the voters. This is very differ ant from the policy of the Dem ocrats, who on the 3rd of June will be at liberty to vote for whomsoever may ask for their votes without any dictation from anybody. The following are the Dogs a Nuisance. ; From Charity and Children candidates endorsed by publican bosses to be voted for at the primary election: Governor, Frank A. Linney. of Watauga county. Lieutenant - Governor, L. L. Jenkins, of 'Asheville. Commissioner of Agriculture, of jA. L. French, of Rockingham Prohibition has become so nonnlar with our neighbors on wr " v the north, in the Dominion Canada, that it will prevail : CAttorney-General, Zeb Vance throughout all that vast country vValser, of Davidson countv. by the first of January, except State Auditor, J. Q. A. Wood, in the one Province of Quebec, or f asquotank county. and even in all of that except the large cities. The Province of Quebec is composed largely of the descendants of the first French settlers, and they are not as a class favorable to prohibi tion. Few of our readers probably were aware of so strong a pro- hibition sentiment in Canada, ana will no doubt be gratified at this continued progress of prohibi tion. County school commencements were held last week in quite a number of counties in this state and all were quite a success and much enjoyed. Such occasions are not only a source of pleasure to all who participate therein but are a great stimulant to all en gaged in the educational work of their counties. That must have been a most pleasiug and inspir ing sight at Raleigh when about eight thousand school children marched down Fayetteville street each carrying a tiny United States fla and all radiant with happy smiles. We hope that the day is not far distant when such an occa sion may be seen every yea in every county in this state, even in old Chatham. The last volume (the 169th) of the North Carolina Supreme Court Reports shows that about one-third of the cases contained therein had been erroneously de cided by the superior court j udgts who tried them. That volume contains 165 cases, and of that number there was error in 57. The judges who tried them had varied "luck" (as we once heard a superior court judge say in ref erence to his cases appealed to the supreme court), some being in error in a majority of their ap peals and others with very few. For the information of the curi ous we publish the following tab ulated statement giving the name of each judge and the number of his cases affirmed and the num ber in which there was error: Judge. Affirmed. Error.

A Request for Restitution. Special to the Charlotte Observer. Richmond, Va . April 10. Wo men of the South, especially members of the Confederated Southern Memorial Association, are seeking to keep before Con gress the claim of Confederate veterans and their widows on the large fund in the United States Treasury accumulated from cap tured and abandoned property, confiscated property and the col collection of the cotton tax from 1863 to 1868 in the states of the Confederacy. Their champion in the nation's law-making body is Senrtor Till- man, of South Carolina, who has I introduced a bill embody their ! wishes. Those who believe in its justice have faith in its passege; but there are around Washing j ton those who, inclined to leave sentiment out. issue a "warning against the emotional women of !the South." Mrs. J. Enders Robinson, cor- I responding secretary general C. S. M. A. , has explained in letters to the press the position af the memorial association, which is that this property taken from the Conf edesates does not belong to any one else and that instead of being analogous to pension measures, the Tillman bill is ; simply a just demand for resti- ' tution. As we advance in intelligence it reallv seems that thp supersti tion that attaches to dogs ought to disappear. Dogs are the most useless as well as the most dan gerous animals in the state. No wild beast (if there be any) that roams the mountain forests or the wide swamps of the coast country is such a menace to the lives and peace of DeoDle as the half many curs that wander about without a habitation or a name. !A good dog may be worth his i keep but his owner is perfectly j willing to pay a tax for the priv ilege of owning him. But the the Re-! well fed dogs are not a menace to society. It is the lean and hungry curs that do not get a living from their masters and who must make it some other way that do the damage. They kill sheep and chickens and suk eggs for a living and occasion ally ro mad and set whole neigh borhoods in a tun.ult. They are the dread of the summer time. The public are exposed constant ly to these vagrant dogs that do everybody harm and nobody any particular good. Whv are legis lators so mortally afraid to furn ish the protection to which the Dublic are entitled from these Fuel Briquet Industry. From the U. S. Geological Bulletin. Over a million dollar worth of briquets were made out of waste coal dust in 1915, the exact pro duction being 221,537 short tons, valued at $1,035,716 This was the largest output in the United States for any year with the ex ception of 1914, The manufac ture of this type of fuel is, how ever, still in its infancy, and ac- mind of our cording to C. E. Lesher. ot the starved and United States Geological Survey, a good many years will probably elapse before the briquet indus try assumes very large propor Strange, If True. An English army officer was starting fr the front last year and he called upon his London bank to settle up certain affairs before departing. "You'll be back soon with a wounded hand," said the bank manager. He was. His wound healed, the officer made ready to go back to the front. Meeting the bank man ager, he inquired: "Any more predictions?" "You'll be crone longer this time. when 5r said the manager, and you do return it will be tions.

If we could only get enough men in Raleigh at ons time who wuld rather do right than be re-elected, there would be many wholesome laws enacted that the solons are afraid to tackle. We hoped against hope that some time some legis lature would summon manhood enough to tax the worthless dogs out of existence. Killing sheep is about the only charge that has been brought against them but this a minor charge. They are a general nuisance and a perpet ual peril to our peace and happiness. Prizes to Farmers of Mexico. Mexico City. April 9. In manifesto to Mexican farmers is sued last night. Gen. Gonzales offers a prize of $1,000 to the planter in each township under his iurisdiction which includes the states of Mexico, Puebla, Morel s Taxcala, Hidalgo and Oaxaca. for the best planted field. Farmers are warned that the nation faces a serious crisis because of crop shortage result ing from unfilled lands, and teih them that only their patriotic in dustry can forestall tne misery of a cereal shortage. "Today we face the danger of public misery," says the mam festo, "because of the scarcity or failure of the coming crops. To cultivate the soil in the present predicament is a work of the highest patriotism incumbent on all good Mexicans. Effect of Radium Rays. Charles Vaillant, head of the radiographs laboratory of the Lariboisere hospital in Paris, has announced a successful means of replacing the present costly pro cess of X-ray photographing on a glass negative with printing directly on to paper. Vail lan t's new process uses or dinary sensitized paper for tak ing radium photographs. The cost of the paper is only a twen tieth of that of the glass nega tive, and there is also a saving in weight and space. Vaillant has only three fingers left out of ten, namely two fore fingers and a thumb, the fore finger of the left hand and the thumb and forefinger of the right. The rest of his fingers he lost, one after the other, by hold ing them at the end of a tube thus trying on himself the pene trative effect of the radium rays. Repeated amputation, however, did not lessn Vaillant's enthusi asm. He is already the discov erer of a radiographic method of determining whether or not an infant was born dead or alive.

The company will be capitalized at $25,000 and will manufacture steel bridge material, steel tanks, steel build ing frames, etc. It is proposed to begin work on the plant in about 60 days- The main building will be of steel 85x150 feet. The companv will employ about sixty skilled labor ers at good wages. Why Constipation Injures. The bowels are the natural sewer age system of the body. When thev become obstructed by constipation a part of toe poisonous matter which thev should c-trry of is absorbed into the svstem, making you feel dull aud stupid, and interfering with the diges tion and assimilation of food.

Mclver tells the Express that not a single shad has been seen at Buckhorn this season, but the white round fish have been caught in large numbers. They are very fine hsh. The reason why shad fail to come up the river this season is that they cannot pass the locks that have been built by the government below Fayette ville. The retail druggists all over the United States have been in formed by circulars from the wholesalers and through the trade papers that if the war in Europe continues until July 1st the price of almost all drugs will advance from 200 to 300 per cent over the present prices. Already the prices have advanced from 200 to 300 per cent over prices before the war. Even at the i enormous prices quoted some or i the drugs commonlv used are ob tained only with difficulty. Coffee Like Gold. Pershing's Camp at the Front in Mexico, April 10. Gold is the word which has been adopted along this front to describe cof fee. A teaspoonful of coffee will buy more than gold coin, and the rich color, enhanced by its scar city, has fixed the nickname firm ly for this campaign.
