Will someone stop the racket V The negroes belong to us fellows over here and if we i-hoosc 10 have then running seventeen different direction* at the same time, why that' our little frolic. The frequency with which bombs are being found in various cities has caused us to carefully* peer under our de*k every morning when w? get down to work. We truat that after what one of our local residents had to say about New Bern's Booby Beauties. Critraplor, of the New Bern Sun-Journal will hold his peace forever more. Talking aboyt "phoolish pheelings." we had ours yesterday. One of tie ladies of the city, whom we had never had the pleasure of meeting, came into the office with a news item. We took our feet off the deek, put down our pipe and greeted her. "So this is Mr. 0 ? " Well I never!" And the tone in which she said that made us feel about fifteen inches tall. OUR "CIVILIZATION." Mixed in with accounts of the progress <?f the various forces in Europe, readers o i newspaper? frequently come across article? telling of some vin? atrocitics that have been committed by one or the other of the different armies, We read of the crriel treatment that is accorded to prisoners, of the massacre of women, old men and children and of the outrages committed against young girls. It is bird to believe that men of today onn be guilty of such nets. Mauv newspapers carried a full-puge advertisement Sunday in which the British government pave a detailed description of pome of the horrors committed by German soldier*. German's "civiliza tion" has always been set as the standard of the world. Thore if? less crime committed in the German empire in time of peace than in any other country. And yet, when her men are given the opportunity they behave like savages of the worst type. j Germany makes the same statement regarding the armies of the aUies. There is probably considerable truth in the charges made on both sides. We have been guilty of deeds of the same nature, if reports of the activities of the Northern armies during the Civil war are to be believed. And yet, we are all proud of our "civilization," of fair "refinement" and of our "ideals." What do they amount to afrer nil? They are only skin-deep and when the opportunity i? presented, when ther-4 is no fear of consequences, we behave like barbarians ? like boasts.* Wo lose every vestige of decency or of self-ro^pe^t and we fall into! the habits that our auoeetors of the ?tone age used. Civilized? Certainly we are civilized when rhere is danger of being punished for! any violation of the laws of civilization. But otherwises? . I Talk about inconsistency! How did the parents of this alleged spy, Lincoln, whoso name has been in the paper* recently, ever have the nerve to tack "Ignatius" to such a distinguished surname? EXPENSIVE RIVERS Acrording to Congressman Frear, who has started & fight against j the rivers and harbors "pork barrel," the government has spent on the! improvement of the Mississippi, Ohio and lower Missouri rivers | more than $200,000,000, an average of about 844.000 a mile. And; in the face of this vast expenditure, he finds that less than one-tenth of the old river commerce remains. The actual traffic on these three] rivers, he says, for an average haul, throughout their length, reaches! less than 1,000,000 tons. The total topnage of the Mississippi, Ohio and Missouri, ho clftiroB, is only five per cqpt of the commerce handled in the harbor of Buffalo every year, and a trifle more than two per cent of that handled by the Superior-Duluth harbor in 1913. The question naturally suggests itself, if the commerce of our big rivers steadily decreases in spite of huge expenditure, is it worth while? Many experts still have hopes of reviving and multiplying the former glories of tliQse streams. And possibly they are right. The moral, of course, is that the government, should take rivers and harbors out of politics and adopt a definite policy of waterways im-' provetnent, to be carried out by a permanent nonpartisan board of. experts. Senator Overman declares that the Democratic slogan this year will bo: "Democrats for peace; Republicans for war." And on the face of that, it seems strange that practically all of the Republicans are in flavor of the president's preparedness program while thore is a split in the Democratic party over the issue.
