WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 30, 1916. PUTTING GINGER IN THE WORK Ar n meeting held Saturday night, the directors of the local 1 Chamber of Commerce decided to employ the services of a com pany that claims to lie experts in the matter of reviving drowsy commerce bodies, patting new life iu them and getting them on their feet. ? New Bern Sun Journal. That item remind* us ?f the old story of the man who waa loo lazy t*> take exercise, which his doctor had prescribed, so he sat' down in a comfortable chair every day and made his servant take| exercises for him. New Bern ? or any other city, for that matter ? can hire com pany after company to put life and ginger into ?t? civic work, but as long as the citizen* of that town are not sufficiently interest^ in the work to keep it going, the efforts of any outsiders will be fu tile. The only plan that will bring results ia for those citizens who WILL work to stick together and to keep on plugging along, and by their continuous labors they will gradually drag other citizens into the fold and get them interested in the work. We have been through New Bern's trouble right here in Wash ington. For a time it seemed as if no interest was taken in the work of the Chamber of Commerce. The men who were interested in the city's welfare, however, did not give up, but stuck to their jobs and kept on working for the city and county. Gradually, other men were interested in the Chamber, and at the present time, the' organization numbers the larger percentage of the business and professional men of the city among its members. Tf civic organizations of this kind expect to thrive and grow, the spirit must be home-bom : it cannot be obtained through watch ing some outside parties doing the work and "taking the exercise." TIIK COST OF TIIE WAR One ni the New York newspapers recently published an inter- 1 eating statement regarding the gigantic co?t of the war in Europe. The facts are said to lx* fairly accurate and thev are as follows: Cost of the war to 'late $72,000,000,000 Cost of war per every hour in the year 4.000,000 The entire civilized world's accumulation and savings for 14 years destroyed in 2 years Total destruction of property $50,000,000,000 Women and children made homeless 6,000,000 Tens of thousands have died of starvation. Killed during war 3,900,000 WounTled during war 8,000,000 Missing during war 3,700,000 Territory laid waste, (square mile** 125,000 And all this refers only to two years of the war. With no signs eg peace in evidence, and with the slaughter of lives and the de struction of property going on with unabated fun', who can even guess at what the total cost will he when hostilities, finally cease? COUNTRY CORRESPONDENCE. Some of the reader- of the items that are sent in to the Dailv News an dother papers, publis-hed in die county, may believe that the habit of signing fictitious names to the country correspondence originated with the iteniizers of this section. Perhaps the item izer* themselves have obtained this impression. Among rhose who write for the Daily New*, for example, there are "Brown Eyes," "Daddy's Darling," "Old Rose," "Dotty l>im ples." "Sunflower," and a host of others. We have before us at thi* writing a paper that is published in Kmtucky, and have just finished looking over its pajres. It contains a quantity of country correspondence, and here are some of the ??ignatnres to the items: Two Lonely (iirls, Hrown Eyes, Babv Doll. Rubber Doll, Snapps. Snooks. Topsv, 8nooky Ookums and | Fuzzv Face. Evidently the style of signatures to items of this kind is not] confined ?o no particular locality, but extends over the entire country. "KICKING A HO FT THE ROAD WORK.' There seems to be considerable complaint from some sources, | over the manner in which the work of improving the roads in the J township is progressing. Personally, we'll It* frank to admit that we do not know whether these complaints are justified or not. But' we d' know that the men. at work on the road, have had a lot to' contend with. r n t lie first place, they were up against labor trouble. When this, was vet tied, they had to delay work because of the non-arrival of the machinery. Then ag%in. it has rained on an average of almost' two days a week for the last month or more, greatly hindering the work. During these days, however, expenses have been going on just the same. ? Taking it all together, the men have had no easy tasks before them, and all these things have joined together in making the cost of the work bo far so apparently exorbitant. ( County health phti'res The $tate Board of Health has prepared a series of moving pic ture*. tending to promote interest in health and sanitation. A nura l*?r f ?f counties in the State liavc already made arrangements "for *ecuring these pictures. The pictures am both entertaining and instructive and bare hem highly commanded by those counties in which they hare ahead y been shown. The State Hoard, of Health is dong a *plcndid work in North Carolina, and thifl seriea of pictures is hut one of the many thing* thev have accomplished recently. And one of the best feature* ? f the hoard is that it has an excellent prcsn agent, who sends alnto?t daily articles to all of the papers in the Rtate. thnu keeping the par pie informed ?? to the labors of the organization.

President Bll hu Root of the American Bar A nan, elation pleaded for a weeding of the unnecessary and Incompetent among the 114,000 lawyers In the United States in his annual address at the opening of the meeting Of that organisation here today. "It Is true of the American people? generally," said Mr. Root, "that 166 many of us have been trying to get something out of the country mad too few of us have been trying* to serve it." Basing his pies for effi ciency in the administration of the law upon the statement that We must get down to brass tacks ih"air our affairs if we're glong to keep pace with Europe after the war, Mr." Root flayed our "cumbersome ma chinery of Justice" and called upon tho lawyers to forget their selfish ness and give the country a little service not only in law administra tion, but In law making. He said* that as a rule only the yonngest and" least experienced lawyers get Into our lawmaking bodies, local, state and national. Concerning the law and the lawyers, Mr. Rot said in part: "There Is great economic waste in ! the administration of the law in state and nation. We spend vast sums building court houses, paying Judges, clerks and others snd the product in Justice Ir disproportion ate to the plant and working force. There 1b no country in the world ( where the doing of justice is bur- ! dened by such heavy overhead j charges. It all csuses an enormous , waste of time on the part of wltness ? es.

DIXIE'S FAIR DAUGHTERS WILL DIVULGE SOUTH S STAND ON WAGE Atlantic City, Aug. BO. ? -Several hundred of Dixie's falreet daughters will take an active part In the emer I gency-called convention of the Na tional American Woman Suffrage A* soclation here September 8th. They will bring with them some "inside information", on what the 8outhern politicians think of suffrage, and on their report to the convention will depend whatever decision Is made for futnre suffrage activity below the Mason-Dixon line. 80 Impor tant is the South regarded by the suffrage leaders that one entire ev ening session of the convention has been set sslde for a presentation of the Dixie suffragists' reports. The manual labor hu crowded the Ba or | rf with more lawyers than are neces ?ary. Of the 114,000 lawyers In the United States a very considera ble part are not needed. It that business were conducted like the business of any great Industrial or transportation company 4rhfch la 'Striving for the highest efficiency at the least cost In order to compete successfully with Its rivals, a very considerable percentage of the 114, 0W would be discharged! ' "Why do theee defects exist In our administration of Justice? The American people are not quarrel sdme or litigious. They are good natured practical, slmplp and direct in their methods, respectors of law and honest in their dealings. Qur Aar as a whole is corageous. loyal and able. 1 think the underlying catfse is thst unconsciously We all treat the business of administering, justice as something to' be done (or private benefit instead of for the public service. Mr. Root admitted that our basic lay should be redrafted, but,' he ad ded, none but a prophet or seer could do it and none such was avail able. Committees on Judicial reform will report tomorrow morning and Mr. Root's address may form part of the baBii of discussion on theee i reports. Stephen 8. Gregory of 11 ' linols, former president of the bar ' association, will preeld.e at the ev ' eulng session today. Former Pres ident Frederick W. Lehraann of Mis souri,' will preside tomorrow morn-1 Ing and former President Henry fit. | George Tucker of Virginia, tomor 1 row evening. i | The meeting will close with thsj annual dinner of the association Fri day night. if *1 ? night of September 7th will be offi cially known su? *'l>ixle flight," and It promise* to ftlrfilsh one of the big surprises of the convention. On that night the 'delegates from all ? ~ v rv v parts of the country will get some first hayd Information from South ern women on how the South stands on suffrage. According to Mr*. Carrie Chapman Catt, President of the National Association, the Infor mation will not be displeasing. De I tails of t hp Information which Is to ' be presented to the convention by the Southern leaders are being Jeal ously guarded, but . It? Is admitted that there are surprise* In store for thoae who have J>een laboring under the delusion that trie Southern states Ms a whole, arcf opposed to granting the ballot to jvomen.

Fif teen thousand grlssled fighters of the CJril War marched over the downtown section today in the an nual Orand Army of the Republic parade. With a score of fire and drum corps beating time and brass bands playing national airs, the gray haired veterans moved slowly over the line which Included many hills.
