Lots of folks have had the impression that the electric range is a fad because it is so wonderful that they have thought it too good to be true as a practical proposition.

As a matter of fact, the electric range has been perfect- j V ed to the; point thpt it is the most efficient cooking appli ance on the market. It is dependable, economical, and ; ' more than satisfactory. i It is not a fad. It is not an expensive appliance which can be used only by the wealthy, nor is it complicated in its operation. On the contrary, it is reasonable in cost, economical in operation, dependable in service, simple in operation, and is the ideal range for cooking under any and all circumstances. You just can’t begin to appreciate the good points of this wonderful appliance without seeing it and having it explained and demonstrated. Every housewife is invited to visit our display room and thoroughly and carefully investigate thpyarious types of electric ranges.

By The Way - Comment and Criticism About Things Doing in the World J^AILROAD executives like to pose as being interested only in trans portation, ' but every now and then they are revealed as taking more than a passing interest in propa ganda. ‘ Just the other day Glen Griswold, woiithg from Chicago in the Phila delphia Public Ledger,.let the cat out of the bag when he said: “* * * the general feeling is that little can happen to the roads this year. Congress has too short a time for actio not accomplish any thing of consequence, and even if it did the legislation would not go into effect until late in the year. Never the less, the railroad executives ere keeping going a backfire of publicity to acquaint the public with the true facts in an endeavor to mold opinion in the right direction, to prevent any radical, action against the transpor tation sjrstems in the next session.' of Congress.” That the railroads are busy fan ning the “backfire of publicity” of which the Ledger speaks is apparent on every hand. . First it was the Mel lon tax plan that engaged the atten tion of the railroad propagandists. Now they are attacking the HJowell Barkley railroad labor bill and ...en deavoring “to mold opinion in the right direction,” .to quote The Ledg er. » ’ v-i-; These propaganda -activities are not inclined to strengthen publfc re gard for the railroads. The people have suspicion that the first business of the carriers is to furnish efficient transportation .and that if they will stick to their business and leave pro paganda alone, they will be better off, which seems to be a reasonable way of looking at the matter. * * * * Adoption of ethical codes by va rious trade associations seem to be quite the style. latest to adopt a code is the American Drug Manufacturers’ As sociation, which has condemned “piracy” in the manufacture of drugs. Imitation of the products of competitors and false statements by employes are also barred. The code asserts that “the essence of ethics! is honesty” and takes as its guiding principle, “Whatsoever ye would that j ( men should do unto you, do ye even | so unto them.” Though the cynical may sneer at| the idea of mixing business and ethics, action such as taken by the drug manufacturers marks a step in advance. In the first place, adoption of a code of ethics indicates that in dustry is awakening to the fact that it owes a dujty to the public and to its employes. In the second place it is a definite beginning at self-gov ernment by industry. It is an at tempt, perhaps futile in many in stances but successful in others, to remedy industrial abuses by the ac tion of industry itself. Industry is tackling the job of clearing up its own evils and is thereby laying the ' foundation for a better order of society. >a'. -1--- - YOUNG KEESLER SUCCEEDS FATHER Edward Y. keesler has been nam ed secreatryjtreasurer and a director of the Mutual Building and Loan as sociation to succeed his late fathers Edward L.

Alexander, one of the most prominent men of Charlotte, at a sanitorium in Battle Creek, Mich., yesterday afternoon. With his passing, Charlotte loses one of her best and most progressive citizens and a man who has been in strumental in nmi|ch of the upbuild ing of the city during the past sev eral years. _ Mr. Alexander was president of the Southern Real Estate Company, owners of the building and property of the Central Hoteland the Stone wall Annex. Hie was secretary and treasurer of the Highlands Hotel Company, .owners of “ the Selwyn HoteJ. He was also president of the Industrial Development Company, a director of the Coirfmercial National mm M. L. SHIPMAN For Renomination as Commissioner of Labor and Planting i 'f k1( H . Mr. M. L. Shipman is a candidate for re election as Commissioner of Labor andPrinting largely because of his desire? taspontinue the program, of enlarging the usefulness of the De partment and rendering it of more values to the citizenship of the state. Distinct forward steps to make the department of real value to the public have been taken during the period he has served as Commissioner, and its yet greater possibilities for service are being developed. The duties devolved by law upon the Depart ment are of such character that his years of service as assistant commissioner, followed by - his tenure as commissioner, equip him to dis charge those duties more efficiently than could a person who has not had such experience. The Work of the department has doubled sev eral times since his connection with it; The direction of the co-operative Federal and State tree employment service, with local offices m Asheville, Charlotte, Winston Salem, Greensboro, Wilmington and Raleigh, has been added to the duties of the Commissioner; a new bureau of the department for the help of our deaf population, created by act of the last legislature, is functioning nicely; the , gathering and compilation of facts an d statistics relative farming and labor, manufacturing, mining* water-powers, etc., entail greater labor each year, in crease in number and the Widening scope of governmental departments, com- ** missions and agencies demand a greater volume of printing, involving more and more labor in supervision. Auditing experts employed to check the records of all State departments and introduce improved methods failed to find any errors in the records and could suggest no improvement in the system in vogue in this department These experts stated that the Department of Labor and Printing was easily one of the most efficient and most economically ad ministered of all the State departments. This department is conducted on strictly business principles, in the4nterest of the taxpayers of the State; It is a tax-saving rather than a “tax-eating" de partment. ;v The industrial directory issued by the department is recognized as a com prehensive exposition of the State’s industrial growth .principal medium through which a knowledge of the wonderful progress pf North Carolina hr given to the ouside world, demand for this coming, constantly .from #11 parts * of the.world. Thousands "of dollars (more than the operating cost of the de partment) are saved annually to the State by the careful supervision of the • public printing and approved business methods that have been introduced in ; I v handling this important item of government expense. Thousands of the unem ployed, including hundreds of former service men, have found positions ’tie Ipmployment division; manyM .the deaf hjaVe beO»^ected to Situ ations which have enabled them to establish iheffiselve$ ih ftfe Since the de velopment of?the bureau for the deaf, under the supervision of the depart ment; yet but a beginning has been made. . ■ . ■ ■■ ... , | “If renominated" (which is equivalent to election), says Mr. Shipman in his announcement, “my time and talents shall be employed to Hthe utmost In making the department a governmental agency second to none in the country." “No personal or political claim is advanced in this announcement. It is based absolutely upon my record as a public servant. The position, is an honor which I prize highly, but the office belongs to the public and not to any in dividual, and I shall aWait the decision of the Democratic voters of the State on June 7th with hope and confidence. ) r# V r ■ •!£;»& fc.i; r bank and of Queens College.

Craig appeared before the Central Labor Union last ’Tuesday evening and was' givefi a most respectful hearing on his views as a candidate for the next legis lature. It was the first time that any can* didate for the general assembly ever appeared before the Central Labor Union in person to present his views. The appearance of the gentlemah was thoroughly appreciated and The Herald is in no position to state whether he made a fayorable or an unfavorable impression upon the workers. It can be commented how ever, in passing, that if the candi date had retired at the conclusion of his first speech, he would be much stronger today than he is after hav ing delivered his second address to . the same.cx^"wp'in the shine even-^ ing..
