WASHINGTON. NORTH CAROLINA. MAY 15, 131rt.
Chautauqua is only a short time away." Talk and boost it all vou
can before the opening day.
This week we are going to have one of those regular clean-up
week in Raleigh. ? News and Observer. Including the cleaning up
of tiie Raleigh baseball flub, we suppose.
Now let's see if Bryan or Ford can tret up any kind of a parade
to compare with the "preparedness pageant/' which took place in
New York Saturday.
After a consultation with our tinancial secretary, we cannot help
but wonder whether the present scarcity of paper has extended to
that particular grade 'hey use in making paper money.
Get out that old Palm I {each and have ir cleaned up in time foi
Wednesday. The local Elks want to change Washington into Pain
Beach on that day.
"PROMISES BY THE GREEKS.*'
Judging from the exclusive United Press story, which was pub
lished in Saturday's Daily New*. (Germany ha* assumed a much mort
conciliators* attitude Toward the l'nited Static. It is stated that :
break wi:h the l'nited States is the last thing that is desired and tha
everything possible is In i jut done t.? avoid this bn*ak. The govern
mcut is also taking precautions To *??<? that m? more dissension i
created over the submarine issue and ii attempting to squelch the worl
of tlie German-American plortqrs in this country.
Naturally these reports an* pleading t.? the l'nited States and it i
sincerely hoped tlia; Germany will live up to them. Nevertheless
we should not abandon ?mr plan* for preparedness and should con
tinue the program that has been ourlincd for tlie incr< aso of our arm*
and navy. Tlie old adage: "Beware of ihe Or ?*ks when thev brin,
offerings," miarht al-o have been wrinen: "Beware of the Greek,
when they make promise-." And even if there i* no possibility of :
break wirh Germany, there are other enemies that the l'nited S:ot<e
will have to guard against.
NEW STYLES IN YACHTS.
A distinct change in rhe lines an-'' general construction of pleasure
craf* is going into effect and is being carried out bv northern boat
builders. Instead of the light and flimsy vessels that have heretofore,
tv-en built, iii-to attention if being given to strength, power and speed.
Many rich men. living along the Atlantic coast, are having speedy
Itoats built that will carry guns, searchlights, wireless, and will be
manned by regular men from the navy and commanded by their own
ers. who will have the rank of ensign.
The idea is an excellent one and should be carried out not only
in small pleasure craft but in the building of nil American vessels,
from the smallest launch to the largest freight and passenger vessel.
In other words, all boats and ships should be built 30 that in case of
necessity, they could l>e culled upon to do patrol and scout duty and
protect the coast from *he raids of submarines. They would be in a
position to lend material assistance to the regular fleer of the United
Slates in this way. Many of them could qtiieklv be converted into
light cruiser1' and could do effective work on the seas.
ARE Wl I UNO TO CLOSE STORES
A canvas of a numl?er of the local merchants, made by the Daily
News during the last, few days, has hrnuglu out 'be fact that. nor. a
r>ne of those who have l?een interviewed is adverse to closing his place
r>f business half a day Fridays during the summer months. Tn fact,
the majority of them are enthusiastic about the plan and believe that
it would be an excellent plan to adopt.
Much comment on the movement, ha* al*o l?een heard from the eiti
rens on the matter and they al-o believe 'hat the closing of the stores
would cause no inconvenience or tlie slightest. objection from either
residents of the city or countrv.
The question has now reacherl th?* stage when if will lie necessary
for the merchant* to ac\ on the issue. We suggest that it lie taken
up at. the next, meeting of the Business Men's Association and that'
it be definitely decided at that time whether to close or not.
A SPEC I A I. I'APFJ; FOR WEDNESDAY.
With hundreds of visitors in the city Wednesday, it is up to Wash
ington to make a* good a showing a* possible in every way in order
hat the stranger* will receive the most favorable impression of both
he city and its people. \ special Request has been made for every
?>ody to decorate their places of business. home* and automobiles
It Iibs also been asked that property owners make tomorrow a general
'clean-up day." so that, everything will be neat and clean by the time
:he first visitor arrives in the city.
In order to tell the visitors something about Washington and its
"^sources. the Daily News is compiling considerable information,
which will be published on that day. A complete account of whit
las been done in tlie way of development and progress will l?e given
ogether with a number of other special find interesting articles. We
vill also endeavor to publish the name of every visiting Elk and make
he issue as attractive as possible in every way; one that the visitors
rill read carefully and take home with them.
No special solicitation will be made for advertising, but we liolieve
hat the merchants will realize the benefit of our plan and that, all
rill endeavor to have their places of business represented in the
advertising eolnmns. A town is judged hy its newspaner bv out
iders. We want to give the Elks a paper which they will find inter
iting and worthy of praise. We want them to see that the business
pen support the ptger Mid, in ?0 doing, inpport the town,

"WE CANNOT
ESCAPE MAR,"
SAYS ROOT
New York. May 15. ? Facts and
figures establishing New York as the
foremost city in support of Red Cross
Society activities and achievements
were presented yesterday at a meet*
ing at No. 4 51 Madison avenue.
Elihu Root, delivering the chief
address, made a plea for prepared
ness. He declared this country can
not escape war. He said:
"We have been unwilling to be
lieve in the possibility of war. in
spite of our history, but we've had
a rude awakening in tlie last two
years.
| "We are a country of 100.000.000
unorganized people. Most of them
are occupied in seeing how much
they can get out of the Government.
Few think. 'What can I do for my
country?'
"Mberty did not come of itself,
and it will not reamin of itself. It
may be taken away This country
may be called upon to choose be
tween defending its liberty and in
depc-ndenre and becoming sub
servient to others. If it is to suc
ceed it must have a trained force,
not a mob.
"This republic cannot continue to
live unless its people are willing to
render service."
Rupert Brooke.
Rupert Brooke 1 saw but once, but
I recall him well ? his fair hair, rather
longer than that of other men, his
collar rather lower, his attlrt rather
more negligee ? sitting with his blue
eyes and spiritual face In the window
of a room overlooking the river at
Chelsea, reading to a little Bohemian
gathering a paper on what appeared
to him the most urgent of social re
forms ? the guaranteeing by the state
of a pension of ?&00 a year to every
minor poet.
He was something more than a mere
poetaster himself, though, apart from
his personal beauty ? which gave him
an unfair advantago--- for long he by
no means outshone his multitudinous
rivals. Men- and women still more ?
recognized In his face the poet of their
dreams, read his verses In the light
of that vision glorious, and trumpeted
him as the master he was not.
The war toucheo him to immortal'

TROLEUM OF EMULSION.

John D. Bear. Elkton, Vs.
Dear Sir: ? In the winter of 1908
I had a very severe cough, no appe
tite, pain through my back and lungs
and felt woak and of no account.
Bear's Emulsion was recommended
to me by a friend and 1 got a bottle
and after tte first two days I felt like
myself again and never had anything
to hr>]p me like it did. Last year
(1909) my wife began to complain
as I did. So without waiting for
anything I got another bottle of your
Emulsion and although she took it
very irregularly she began to Im
prove at once. There is nothing bet
ter for a run-down system and
cough.
Yours very respectfully
LEE H. FLICK.
Don't you expect to do something
for that long standing cough? Don't
you expect to get something to build
up your system. Get eBar's because
it in not hard on the stomach and
has proven to be the best.

FOR REPRESENTATIVE.
To the DrmocraU of Beaufort
County:
I take this method of announcing
my candidacy (or Representative in
the next General Assembly subject
to the action of the Democratic pri
mary to be held on Jnne 3rd.
I believe that a man seeking pub
lic office should state to the people
before he 1b nominated what he
stands for and what he la opposed to.
If nominated and elected, I prom
ise to give notice of all matters In
the public press. I will pass no
bills that will cause the people of
Beaufort County to pay any more
taxes, unless it Is submitted to them
in an election. I will pass no stock
law legislation, as a large majority
of the people have said that they do
not wish It.
If It should become the policy of
the Democratic party to elect Boards
of Education by the people, and the
majority of the Democrats In the
legislature approve of It, I will In
troduce such a bill for Beaufort
County if the citizens and taxpayer*
desire it. If I am nominated and
elected I will resign as a member of
the Bosrd of Education.
! will abolish the office of County
Auditor. While we have no auditor
at the present time, this law is still
on the books, and any Board of Com
xplstlonera can appoint an auditor
they see fit
I will endeavor to five the various
sections of the county good road
laws. I will study this question and
try to pass such laws as will insure
good highways In Beaufort County.
I will stand for such other meas
ures as will be of bene/lt to the
county, and oppose laws that will
work a hardship to our citlsens.
I respectfully ask the support of
all democrats in the primary.
