Washington being the hub of this northeastern seetlon, no town has a better back-country to draw from than this cily. and as we are golngto hold an agricultural fair, It ts time that we were getting things lined up. Nothing can be gained by waiting. Along this line the Wilson Dally ? editorially*? ? ' "We note that an agricultural so ciety has been formed in Granville county, which purposes to hold an annual fair in Oxford, the first one to be held possibly next fall. Move ments are on foot also to revive the Rocky Mount and New Bern fairs. The modern fair offers a twofold pur pose: It is first educational. The Improved machinery, works of art. stock, poultry and other erhiblts Is of great value' to the people and the prepiiums pffered are Incentives to excel in the various lines of Indus try. The other purpose of a fair is to provide recreation and pleasure. "Our Wilson county people .believe in fairs, for over two thousand at tended the Raleigh fair last fall. Let's organize a Wilson count* fair and do away with the necessity of being compelled tp go ai a distance to attend one.'"

I "An unconsciously humorous and teil-iaia alarm is. toning expressed by] Republican statesmen at Washington lest the congressional Inquiry into the high, cogt of living may lead peo ple to think ill of their party's ven erable tariff. They favor, the^ Inves tigation. of course, but at the same time they are itching for It to be fin ished speedily and to be conducted *vith due ctrcu inspect n ess. Should it be dragged through the summer, tfoey fear, It mipht work to their disadvan tage In the elections next autumn. They are aroused to the importance Of relieving the public mind of any suspicion thai the present high price, of household necessaries is due to the Payne tariff act. That Is a significant apprehension, it is a confession. If the Inquiry Is pressed vigorously and exhaustively thl?, alarm will be con fi lined. The people from one end of I he country to the other are awaken enter into the wesk's groosry bill and ?re responsible today in part at least (or exorbitant food prices." Bo tar as any Republican investi gation of the high coat of living goes. The Star may as well Inform the Journal that the committee on the extravagancies of livelihood will make Its report Just In tlmo to get It In the Congressional Record as C Re publican campaign doouinent for tue In tho* congressional elections nest fall. The tariff will be whitewashed and some nlmer in the wood pile will be discovered and dragged out as a scapegoat. ? Tho "Spirit of *7?" la 'brought up io date by the Chicago music teajcher who refuses to pay her personal tax unless she is allowed to vote. m Flying-machine enthusiasts now can have the grim pleasure of empha sizing the safety of their calling by c!t{ng the case of the French aviator who was burned to death in an auto mobile accident. The Chicago Tribune's poll of Re-1 publican and independent newspapers | of the Middle West shows that they | stand nearly six to one against Mr. Cannon's re-election as Speaker and over four to one against the "AldHch Cannon tariff bill. Congress can draw fts own conclusions. Woman's advance Is further Evi denced by the issue of a license as air pilot to Mme. de la Roche by the French Aero Club as a reward for her feat In flying twelve miles at Hell opolls. But a more significant sign is the Indictment of a Smith College graduate by the Philadelphia grand Jury for rioting In the shirt-waist strike in that city. This is an impor tant step toward the 'equality of the seves before the law. Tt was inevitable that the. proposal < to retire Commander Peary with the! rank and pay of a rear-admiral I should arouse opposition in Congress. As Representative Roberts of thei House Naval Affairs Committee says, the . discovery- of_the JjorJti?Pnl?_wns . a ladibte^feat, but not in the line of duty. Secretary Meyer is of the same mind. It is no*t reasonable that Com mander Peary as a navai officer who has not seen service for twenty years should get more pay than Rear-Ed mlral Evans and other admirals of the line, as TFie pending bill provides.
