WASHINGTON, NORTH, CAROLINA, AUGUST 2, 1915.

SOME QUEER VIEWS.
Thin morning, while in conversation with several local n?en, th
editor ww asked to give the police force a "haul over 'the coals" f?>
the methods that the latier employed in arresting automobile spcet!
aters.
"The officers get in l>ack of trees and hide behind houses, so tlu
they cannot b? ween," >*&id one of the*: men. "I believe that this i
a mighty sneakv way of doing business and I tliink it ought to I
Mopped.*'
The man who made that remark had evidently not given in tic
thmight to what ho was saying. How else ore the police to arre
traftio violators, unlet** they remain from view { An officer woul
stand a tine chance of putting a stop to speeding, if he were to stan
in th* middle of the street in plain sight of the autoinobilist. He*
die of old age before he ever caught anyone.
The trouble iu Wnshington ? to be perfectly frank ? is that thei
in a certain sentiment of opposition against every new law or ref
lation that is enforced ? no matter what kind of a law it is. Son
per5?oas appear to think that the* laws are direeted against tlicm pe '
tonally; that the <*ity officials are merely wanting to show their p?.w?
and authority and that the laws, therefore, should be strongly o]
po*e<l, We may lake for examples the hog ordinance, the dog la
and the traffic laws. All three of these are excellent laws, and sti *
some people will not obey them? and if they do, they do so with
spirit of antagonism.
Tlit- police have lately ?hei*n doing excellent work in regulatin (
traffic condition*. A number of arrests have liecn made and in tiin
the practice of driving where you please and us fust a^ you picas
will be forever broken up.
J. 11. Canady, president of the Kins! on Chamber of Comnterci
favored us Sftturdk)' with a most interesting article on how his o>
gamzation was aiding in the road work of Lenoir county. Tb
article wa.? reproduced in full, and we desire to thank Mr. Canad
for his letter. We have heard many favorable comments on it.
The news that the Interstate Cooperage Company at Belhavo
resumed operation today, was received with great satisfaction in th
9e<;tion. The greater part of HelhavtnV laboring population is en
ployed at this plant and the shut-down of the plant caused them coi
aider a bio worry.
I* this connection, it might be said that Washington is extreme!
fortunate. It is not dependable upon any one large business ente;
prise and the closing dorwn of one of its manufacturing enterprise
would not seriously affect the city.
A POOR POLICY TO FOLLOW.
In Saturday's issue, the New Bern Journal, in a couple of ii
editorial paragraphs, refers to Kditor Biggs of tho Greenville K?
flccfor as a "four-flusher" and a "numb-skull,*' in addition to severs
other sarcastic remarks.
We believe that the Journal made a mistake. Merely hecaus
Editor Biggs was opposed to the preaching of Evangelist J. W. Hat
? which started the whole thing ? is no reason why the Jounia
should grow personal in its remarks against its contemporary. Ever;
man in entitled to his own views. If they are wrong, it is only yigh
that an effort should be made to correct him. but there is ahsolutcl,
no excuse for the Journal using the terms that it did in referring
to the editor of the Greenville paper.
The Greenville Reflector, however, is not entirely guiltiest*, fo
it printed the following remark in its issue of Thursday last:
"The editor would never l>e so cruel an to make an
egregious ass out of the New Hern Journal's office boy
by accusing him of being the author of the Journal's
cditoriala."
The -Hcflee.tnr was evidently aroused by the paragraph which ap
p? arod in the Journal last week and which evoked the al>ove retort
The discussion relative to Mr. Ham's sermons, was of interest t?
tho readers of the New Hern and Greenville papers, but when tin
editors become personal in their attacks and take to slamming a
eanh other, the readers become disgusted instead of interested. Tin
editorial column of a new>?paper is no place in which lo wage a per
f>nal war.
ItECKRK? INNOCENT OK OI'ILTV?
Practically all of the resident** of Washington, during the la1*!
?lay or two. have expressed themselves a* believing that CharlOF
Keeker was innocent and that an innocent fuan had l>crn sent to hi?
death. Thin belief was largely l?aacd on the fart that Bocker did
not make any confession before going to the chair. The following
paragraph, reproduced from the Rocky Mount Telegram, appear*
to be the general sentimeut :
That Charles Becker should have gone to his death protesting his
Innocence causes many to doubt the man's real guilt in connection
with the murder, especially since he also denied the statement attrib
uted to him that he would plead guilty to second degree murder. The
man's composure in the hour of death was aa remarkable a? the sen
sational events that marked the crime with which he was charged.
That OoveruoT Whitman should hare been the prosecuting attorney
in Backer's first trial and tho fact of Ma confidence of the guilt of
the man firtt others a satisfaction that, despite all th* protHtt,
