VOL. XXIX. RALEIGH, N. C, THUOODVSr,: FEBIUJAnY: 23. I9U. no. 7 editorial briefs! Strawberries are ripening, but they ar la Louisiana. ISvery dog will have hi da; In tbe Hno of Representatives next Tuea--day. TTbat sound is it that is now more frequent than the tons of the mocking-bird? The present line-up leaves no room j for ex-Governor Glenn in tho Sena torial race. Mr. Carnegie say-s that mlUlonaries jro unhappy. But possibly the can a!Iocd to be. Tbe chickens must not depredate in thia State even if the trusts are -allowed a free hand. The Democratic party had better -erect an aerodome before launching .any more Presidential boomlets. Judge Parker says there are loo many leaders In the Democratic par ty yes, and all leading the wrong way. When the Democrats talk about equalizing taxes, of course you un derstand they mean to increase your taxes. If they increase the pay of the pen itentiary guards the money should come out of that large penitentiary surplus. Even if the Democrats do not want free text-books, they might at least allow the Republicans to have them in their counties. The bill for the Torrens system for registration of land titles is still hanging fire in the legislature. Prob ably trying to smother it. If the Democrats are looking for a specific remedy, why not pass the Texas anti-trust law with the proper machinery to put it in action? The outlaw, Lewis West, will be tried in Wilson, March 13th. It will be an unlucky day for Lewis with no mocking-birds to cheer him up. , Again we ask what has become of that secret midnight report on the .Democratic management of the At lantic and North Carolina Railroad? It may be that the number of Con gressmen should be increased, but at the same time there are some now in Congress who might make better rag pedders. An exchange says we should re member the debt we owe to the com ing generations. If the Democrats remain in control of this State much longer our posterity will get the debts I all right Since the State has to borrow money for running expenses, why. not secure the loan out of that large penitentiary surplus and save paying interest? The poor school children are sup posed to scuffle the best they can for , -an education, and then vote the Dem- ocratic ticket 'because their great un cle did so. I The Baltimore Sun, speaking of the next Democratic convention: "We cannot afford to look back." No, the past record of the Democratic party will not bear inspection.

POS fAL BANKS A SUCCESS People Are Now Saving Money Who Never Deposited Hooey In Banks -A Great Educator Accorded Co-j usual Honor by House of Repre sentative Favors Free Text Hook Senator Lorixner Caae 3Iay Come to a Vote To-day. (Special to The Caucasian.) Washington, D. C, Feb. 21, 1911. President Taft is still strongly urg ing the adoption of his reciprocity treaty with Canada, as well as the law creating and strengthening the permanent tariff board, and threatens to call an extra session of Congress if these measures are not put through. Many Other Important Mattel Pend ing. In addition to these measures, there are now pending in Congress ten great appropriation bills which must be passed before the end of this Congress, or an extra session will be called to pass upon them; also the proposed amendment to the Con stitution providing for the election of Senators by the people; the vote on the resolution determining wheth er or not Senator Lorimer shall keep or lose his seat In the Senate; the bill providing for Congressional ap portionment, and also the bill pro viding for the fortification of the Panama Canal. This presents a most anomalous situation in Congress within a few days of the end of the session. It now gets clearer each day that un less some of these important meas ures are railroaded through in record-breaking speed, or unless the President yields, that an extra ses sion of Congress Is inevitable, as pre dicted, by The Caucasian at least a month ago. The Lorimer Case. It looks as If a vote might be tak en on the resolution determining whether or not Senator Lorimer is entitled to his seat, on to-morrow or at some early date during the present week. In the beginning it was not thought that Senator Lorimer would retain his seat, but the leading Democrats who have come to his res cue and supported him has been somewhat of a surprise, and it may result In giving him a clean bill of health. Postal Savings Banks a Success. Postmaster-General Hitchcock has made a preliminary report, or rather a statement, as to the success of the experiment of the system of postal savings banks recently established under authority of Congress. He points out the fact that the major ity of the deposits are being made by people who have never before had an account in a savings bank or any other bank, and who have therefore never systematically saved the dimes and pennies. He states that the op erations of the system so far guaran tee that it will be a great success, and shows that it will teach a "certain class of our people who have practi cally lived from hand to mouth how to save and become substantial citi zens with a stake in the country, and other arguments to a similar effect. These statements made by Postmaster-General Hitchcock, as results from practical experience, are some of the very things which former Sen ator Butler of North Carolina prophe sied would result from the establish ment of . such - a system, and which were included in the report made on his postal savings bank bill, the first bill on which Congress ever mde a favorable report. r A Great Educator Honored. Last week Count Apponyl, of Hun gary, was accorded ah unusual honor by the United States House of Repre sentatives. He was Invited to ad dress the House' In session. This is, we think, the third time that such an honor has been conferred upon any man in the history of the United States. -' ; '-;-v,v,; :.; Count Apponyl has been not only one of the most distinguished public officials in Hungary, being bv birth right a member of the Hereditary or Upper House of the Congress of Hun gary, but a man, who also, like Glad stone of England, preferred to serve In the Lower House and who was elected and served as Speaker of the Hungarian House of Representatives. : He acquired his greatest distinc tion, however, when later, serving In the Cabinet as Minister of Educa tion. He Is the author of the great free school system of Hungary which provides free schools in fact as Well as in name.
