Editer. WASHINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA, OCT. 5, 1915. ihere's a campaign on against cancor in Missouri. That's ono tiling the Missourians don't want to see.?Newt and Observer. And there's a campaign on against short dresses in Now York City, but? Beginning next Friday, war dope on the tirst page will have to gire way to world's scries news. Th?* Wilmington Star quotes the Raleigh Timen as saying "Chi-i cago is onfcTtaining a real lord, Law?ee!" Even if his title does begin with a small "L,"' it is somewhat astonishing to hear of a lord' beinj* in Chicago. | THE CANNING CLUB PROJECT. The county commissioners and board of oducation showed them gelve* to be wide-awake in tho interesu of Beaufort county by yes terday agreeing to appropriate twl>0 towards supporting u canning club for girls and wouiea in this county. The action they took iu the matter wut praiseworthy. There i? no question but that the club project ia an excellent ono and that it can do much good. Canning club work haa spread rapidly throughout the ocuntry, and wherever il ha? been tried it ha? proven au undisputable cess. The work trachea the club members how to properly raiat anU can their vegetable? and fruits; il give* the girl* and women a pleasant aud profitable occupation; it footer* a spirit of indepen dence, and it aids materially iu reducing living expenses. One of the ladies who id interested iu the work, stated before the commis sioners yesterday that where an ordinary can of peaches containing nine halve* cost her twenty-live cents, ?he hss found that she can lierself put up a quart jar of the same fruit, containing twenty halve* at a cost of but ten and a half cents. It iii hoped that the canning club in Beaufort county will lie sue OMiful in its work, and that a large number of ladies, not only in tho country, but in the cities as well, will interest themselves in the matter. "Let There Be Peace," declare* Biggs, of the Greenville Re flector. Of course, with sucli a powerful individual to make the demand, peace is now an assured tiling. "Tho Columbia State," says the New Bern Sun, "declares that a lot of girls in that town need re-painting. We elect Dome of iho Rocky Mount Telegram to do the job." And wo might add, that there are a lot of men in this section whoso noses uoed repaint* in?t Can the Sun name a candidate for the job? DEEP WATER PROJECTS. The Board of Eujineeni of the Rivers and ITarbors Committoo have reported unfavorably on the recommendation that a survey be made of the Nouse river from New Bern to Goldsboro. They de clare that results would not justify the gr^at expense of this work. Tho engineer? are probably right, although it is doubtful whether tho people along the Nouse will grant it. The work, if undertaken, would exceed in all proportions tho revenue that, might be hoped to derive from it. The only practicable advantage that GoJdsboro would gain in having deep water would 1*? a reduction in freight rat*?. Shipping and traffic on the river would amount to but little. If r.hp River* and Harbors committee granted every request that it receives for deepening creeks and rivers it would cost the country hundreds of millions every year. It seems that every little village on some little brook or stream wants a deep water channcl to the sea. When they don't get it, they raise an awful howl. And yet, out of the many improvements that have been made in this line, it is doubtful if one-third will over justify the expense incurred in making thein. Deep water is one of the grearesf assets a city cau have, but deep water doesn't necessarily meau that a village is going to Income a metropolis. We have an illustration of that right here iu Wash ington. CONFIDENCE AN D BCM. HEADEDNESS." Iu speaking of tie* strength of the Republw-an parly in North Cat ejiiia. the News and Observer has the following to say; "Always ?* u pre campaign flurry there are to l?e found in North Carolina sonic papers and some people who whisper around that the Republicans are going to do fearl'nJ and wonderful things to the Stale Deiimcrsey in the next elect iou. It is a specie* of bugaboo talk tha' in to be expected. But it is not going to work this year or the next. "As fur thi?? paper it has The greatest confidence that tli?* Demo cratic party is going to win in North Carolina next year. It is going to win Ixjeatise its record of service to the people entitles it to win. for liofh in Stare and in nation the Democracy has lieen //-aIons in their serviee. The people of North Carolina know the black record of the Republican party, and they are not going to give power to it. They know ii to l?e a party not worthy of trust." While confidence is a fine thing, the attitude of the News and Observer is more to l>e termed "bull-headeduesa" than "confidence.** The strength of any political party lies In the efforts that If makes to wia. If the Denaoerats are satisfied with their strength in North Carolina, it will not he many years before the Republicans, with their never-ceasing energy and aggre??i ven ess, will get the leading hand in State politics. If isn't well to fake things for granted, i On the other hand, every effort should he made to make next year's! Democratic victory in the State greater and more conclusive than gver.

Fvom harsh-sounding Scarborough, Me., somes a letter to the Net. York Sun in reply to tke effort of another oom*pondent 44to explain the failure of prohibition?in Maine fay the charge that the law ia not enforced." ; "I ara Tendering if this estimable woman who is in Brooklyn N. Y., understands the situation better than we do who lire in Maine The law is enforced as-well as it can he by city and town author! ties, but it is always possible to *vada the provisions of a bad law and so liquor is obtained in large quantities by individuals and it consumed wholesale at home and elsewhere. "If Miss Schumacher would coos here we oould show her dL carded whiskey and brandy bottles scattered everywhere along th' roadsides. We oould let her see the sickening, dreadful sights of men crazcd by the vile-staff they have taken. We oould show her, too, the drug fiends, always in evidsnce where liquor is difficult t? obtain, and. if she were upen minded we ought convince her that tli law of prohibibition is an infamou* thing,- productive of unspeakabh misery and degradation. - "I have traveled far and wide in this country and abroad, an 1 except in Glasgow, Scotland, I have ne?er eeen such appalling sight ? drunkenness as exist in prohibition MAinei" ''Discarded whiskey and brandy bottles scattered everywhere along the roadsides'* and the exhibit of dfug fiends to prove that "liquor is difficult to obtain'* seem to present the morally stunted of thej ruck-ribbed ?tate as persistent and determined.?Ledger-Dispatch. BENEFITS OF THE MOVIES. A man said the other day ho did not care for the movies. The ia? vies teach us to observe closely, interpret motives, theorize and. anticipate the denouement. The eyes see the pictures only but the mind is kept in activity n the effort to conceivo the object and tin meaning, large to be guessed at? since the pictures are suggestive rather than expressive. The imagination is quickened and cultivated Lv the movies and they teach new mental proceHses that eveu make children keener in their perception and conception. That is what eople miss by not being movie fans. Close observers can tell in a ninute when a play has not been sufficiently rehearsed and to ap oreciate how aptly and efficiently an actor or an actress plays the ^urt. In the movies actions have to speak louder than word9. For n tance. emotion, grief, shock, astonishment, joy, appreciation, and haructer have to be pictures instead of being expressed or demon trated.?Wilmington Star. RURAL BETTERMENT. The Mooresville Enterprise makes note of the fact that "iu sev ral parts of Iredell County and the vicinity of Mooresville, tho .vouien have organized themselves into Community Betterment So ?teies, and the etTectiveness of the campaign during the year is told v the beautified appearance of the country homes, with grass plots, lawns, flower beds, etc., to say nothing of the improved facilities in ?lie domestic affairs within the household." It is a happy circum stance that the Community Betterment Society is not confined to iredcll, though that county is possibly further advanced in this par ticular class of civic endeavor than almost any other section of the State. The homes of people living under tho influence of the better ment society is as easily "spotted" as is the corn field of the fanner who does not attend the farmers' institutes and who is not interested ill the work of the boys' corn clubs.?Charlotte Observer. AMUSEMENT AND RECREATION FOR COLORED PEOPLE The Free Press has a communication supposedly from a colored citizen of Kinston, regarding the lack of provision for amusement* and recreation for tho negroes. Tho letter is unsigned, but is in telligently written and brings up a question that must, be considered sooner or later by the people of Kinston. The writer of the article calls attention to tho fact that there no opportunity afforded members of his race to enjoy moving pic ture or theatrical performances. "We have to be content by sinipl; gazing on the bill boards," he points out. In a progressive com' munity all classes of people should be provided for, and of eours; eventually the colored people will be taken care of in Kinston. The truth of the matter is that Kinston has grown from the village class so rapidly that it hasn't been able to keep step in the matter of amuse ments for either white or black and this has been the case with prac tically every other city convenience and improvement. These changes, by the very nature of things, have to come by degrees. Very for tunately Kinston is taking on the aspect of city life in a great many ways, but from the standpoint of public amusement ami re creation she is signally behind. Provision must be made for the aegroes. They are entitled to recreative features. It is hardly necessary to point out that well regulated amusement and recreative places for tho negroes would lend to the development of better citizens. This is a question that is timely and plans should be laid for dealing with the question at no distant date.?Kinston Free Press. Fictitious Conversations 'T?l like to buy a coatrHuit.please.'' "Certainly, madam, step right thin way. Now hern is an ex ceptionally tin?* suit. It i? of the latent style, and I'll guarantee that thorn i-? not another one like it in the city. It came direct from I'aris and i? the latest thing in style." "Thank van. hut I don't believe I'll take it. I don't care any thing nix.ill style; I want to look neat and feel comfortable.
