A JAPANESE, IDEA, .. ,
Even we Americans with all our
vaunted perfection along airlines, .are
not, in truth, too perfect to learn les
sens from other nations- not so high in
the scale. Thi fact was shown clearly
to us by reading a dispatch the other
day telling how the Japanese served
meats, chicken being given as the ex
ample. Instead of cooking the chicken and
cutting it ud in a few pieces at ran
dom as we do. with bone attached, the
Japanese deftly remove the bones from
tjie different parts and serve only the
meat. So if you were to go into a Japa
nese eating house and call for a cer
tain part of a chicken, say the wing,
you would presently be supplied with
a dainty little dish containing all the
meat once connected w,ith the wing,
with the bone taken out. . ' ' 1 "
Now it stands to reason,, and all will.
agree that this is by far the best and
least troublesome way of feasting on
chicken. ,
According to our: way .of serving
chicken most of the . pleasure of the
sweet meat of the wing is lost in the
aggravating and worrysome task of
getting it free from the bone. And the
criminal operation that must be prac
ticed in order to get the meat of the
fish, according to the American way of
doing it, is likely to end, either in
death, from a swallowed bone, or ner
vous collapse from the sheer ordeal of
getting at it. Yes, we would do well to
follow the Japs, at least in this particular.
GREATER CHARLOTTE.
The News stands fcr greater Char
lotte first, last and all the time.
It hopes to see a ccyatincais.ee of the
wonderful grorrth cf tms city.
It will net hesitate to oppose any
movement that will likely impede this
grpwth. ,
It desires to go on record
as opposed to me incut pumnun
of Dilworth as a seperate town.
It would view such a move as
unfriendly to the best interests of this
city, and it hopes that the efforts to es
tablish-a-separate city out of one of
Charlotte's most flourishing suburbs
will be abandoned.
"'Charlotte 'would be fearfully handi
capped if her suburbs were permitted
to form separate incorporations, and
the opportunities for building a great
city here would be lost.
We think the movement to incopor
ate Dilworth is against the best inter
est of Charlotte, and we hope it will
be abandoned.
We stand for "Greater Charlotte."
We referred to the unusual tastes of
a Congressman who should choose to
give, his fiance a poodle dog, and of
the unusual likings of "a President's
daughter who should adore one, re
cently in an editorial. The Wilming
ton Messenger, always capable of
going you ; :one -better, expresses the
opinion that fo a lover to laud his
fiance before a congregation, of which
she is a part, has that beat Well, we
pass, for there is no telling what a
pair will do during that slushy, gushy,
period,- just prior to the wedding.
CLEAN SHEET CRUSADE.
Count on Georgia for the unexpected
and the unusual! Those who had the
idea that only old maids were par
ticular as to the details and niceties of
life must take a second thought. Aside
from the many political dispatches
from good old Georgia, and as a. kind
of diversion, came. one on yesterday
stating tha,t the travelling men of that
commonwealth had inaugurated a
"clean sheet crusade." Think of it, and
it was men who did it at that!
A bill is to be presented to the Leg
islature requiring the hotef keepers
and inn keepers to change the sheets
cn their beds at least , once a week.
These old travelling bachelors say they
want a sheet to sleep on' which has
not been used by other travelling bach
elors for six days. Quarantining
against themselves!
The price of cotton must of necessi
ty advance after the passage of such a
law, and the demand for sheets in the
"Empire State" will be the watch
word of the travelling public.
No doubt these patrons of cleanli
ness will provide themselves with ban
ners labelled. "Clean sheets or boy
cott" for when a travelling man sets
his head he is hard to turn.
Well, seriously there is no sweeter
- pleasure than to lie down tired at night
between clean and healthy sheets. One
-can dream better. The reverse is just
the opposite. But what a burning in
sult to the good house wives of the
Georgia hotel keepers, and made by
the unspeakable "men" at that!
It makes no difference to us whether
the speaker is "Mother Jones" or
"Father Time' so long' as the theme
is Socialism, you are welcome to our
ticket, though we advise you not to use
it. The lecture will not benefit you and
the chances are it will hurt you. We
were always suspicious of a lecture,
entitled. "Let Reason Speak." That is
the mask the devil uses and it usually
acts as a blind to something behind
the curtain which it wouldn't pay to
advertise. -

There is something wrong with the
law of the land when a criminal such
as Major. W- E. Breese, of Asheville,
goes entirely unpunished on account of
a technicality. The man who pilferred
a. bank, and squandered. the savings of
honest people should not be able to go
scot free because a grand-juror had
failed to pay his taxes. Justice has suf
fered defeat in this case.

And the Socialist, sat him down and
dreamed a dream of fields Elysian,
where money grew on trees, where
harmony was as boundless as the air
and where strife and dissension was an
unknown quantity; where people lived
in herds, care free and ecstatic; of. the
land where there were no rich men, no
opposing elements, a land flowing with
ma ana noney, ' served ' up to
every one tree of charge. The
dreamer awoke and vainly sought
to live out his dream. He lived a life
in the air, a life out of concord with his
fellowmen, bora to sorrow and work.
The dreamer was a nonentity, and the
men who were the salt of the earth,
toiled on, looking occassionally with
pity at the blatherskite, who did
naught but; dream.
Although the benignant smile of
dear .Teddy circled, wavered and soar
ed as the "winged .esrgle," it finally lit
square on the head of Brother Holton.
The reflection of that smile has caused
some, who once courted it, to grow
strangely purblind and peevish.

order will do. well to provide them
selves with tickets and go down to the
Y. M. C. A. this evening to the big
basket ball garnet between Wake For
est college and the Y. M. C. A. team. It
will be great, and a night enjoyed.
Just like the Spring flowers, the can
didates, one by one, begin to poke their
heads above the surface. Some will
end up with heads elated, some with
heads be-headed. Just wait and watch
the results.
