Spring has craw-fished. here if every one would once appre ciate the need of a little sweeping around home doors! Some one must start every movement. How many people are going to take the initia tive in this work? The members of the civic department of the Woman's Club are working faithfully in this in spect, but they cannot perform the whole task. Nor should they be allowed to. There should be too much civic pride for the necessity of some one else being forced to do the house-cleaning for others.

A glance at the streets; at the front and back yards of our houses, convinces us that there is a vast amount of work to be done. There are a few premises in our city well kept. Flower gar dens have transplanted tin cans and refuse matter as back yard decora tion and close-cropped grass plots, and systematic rows of flowers have claimed the place of advertisements, newspapers and trash in the front yards. This has meant work, but the beau ty of the accomplishment is pay for the slight labor It coat. What a field for every citizen in the city and every person living in the country. Picture to yourself a drive over our macadam roads the best in the country with the con stant view of miles of beautiful shade trees. How much better would our public highways be shown off. How little cost it would mean, if every land owner would take it upon him self to decorate his road frontage with shade trees. The value of his be enhanced.

Replying to the query, "Do we dream?" the Washington Herald per tinently, replies: "Some of us do evidently.

"We greatly fear the News and Courier is getting real cross because South Carolina voted for Bryan," observes the Columbia State. If we are not greatly mistaken there are several persons afflicted with the eame complaint in this state in fact it's chronic. They've had it so long they have really forgotten why they ever took it.

A small prize for the pret tiest roadside would start a compe tition that would result in. the beau- tificatlon of our magnificent high ways. The public school teachers and county superintendents can do a service invaluable in this line, and is it not worth, while? What lesson could a child be taught of more real value than the worth of tidiness aci beauty in all it's surroundings. The business man wants a boy who appears well. The boy who was taught in the schools that there was something besides the multiplication table and the Latin conjugation worth while that God as well as man delights in the beautiful that boy brought up in surroundings where aesthetics were a part of bis educa tion, will put the lesson in practice in his personal appearance; his dress, his manner. It is worth while. And how much more urgent is the need that confronts the city in- this respect. Some people have the idea that civic improvement means heavy taxes; big appropriations. This is wrong; that is, wrong to a large ex tent. True, before the work needed is accomplished a city must expend opposition based solely on prejudice money parks, shade trees, and the ana supported now uy a sort or now oy a strange pride, the Bryan sentiment has waxed stronger and stronger in this state. Shortly after the mandate from his royal highness, the president, that the inscription, "In God We Trust" be forwith and immediately stricken from the American coin, a cartoonist pictured the president removing the motto and entitled his production, "The only trust ho ever busted." Even that glory is now robbed him, for congress, by an overwhelming vote, has ordered the restoration of the motto. Congress expressed fot the country at large the indignation felt at the president's unwarranted action. like cost. But. in our Dresent condi tion, there Is a world of work to be done whose cost is only the expen diture of a few hours that all of us have to spare. It is, also, a work for each individual. The prop erty owner should be interested in making his property show up to the best advantage. The renter must surely prefer a neat, tidy, well-kept home and grounds, to a condition of slouchiness and untidiness. How many citizens are willing to help in this work? Prof. Keffer re fers to the "Daughters of Rest," who while away hours each day, pining for diversion, whea their back yards are pregnant with tin cans, and trash of all kinds. An hour's work, j in his opinion, by each huseholder UGLY THRUST AT CRAIG. Sometime ago The News expressed It's opinion on the unfair and unworthy thrusts and insinuations preferred by several papers against Mr. Kitchen. The News does not favor the candi dacy of Mr. Kitchen, but it believes in giving him a square deal, and it, along with hundreds of anti-Kitchen men, has little patience with such small and dirty politic. Now. in the face of equally unwor thy flings at the character and politi cal Integrity of Mr. Craig, this paper takes occasion to denounce, with equal fervor, the conduct of several parties who have just launched a set of false charges against Mr. Craig. In the course of an editorial on the gubernatorial fight, the Madison Her ald, charges, among other things, that it is a fight whether, "the wing of the democratic party, backed by the South ern railway, and other special inter ests and calling themselves conserva tives shall control the politics of the party or whether the people that stand for the people and with the people against the wrongs and encroach ments of these special interests shall still continue to administer the af faire of North Carolina. This is the fight and no man dare3 to deny it. You take the backing of these special inter ests from Craig's candidacy and he would withdraw tomorrow. In fact, wo are satisfied that if he had not been assured that he would receive the solid support of this he would not have entered the race." To the above insinuations Mr. Craig has given tho lie. What facts does the editor who made these charges offer in their support? He makes the statement, without the least semblance of fact to back them up, and attempts thus to cripple a man, whom even his political enemies recognize as a man of integrity, honesty and character. The suggestion that Mr. Craig has receiv ed assurance from corporations and "other special interests" is unworthy any man who lays the slightest claim to fairness. The other editorial in question, from the Mocksville Courier, contains, among other things, this statement: "Craig stands for the good j of railroads and other corporations J that swindle the people." Naturally Mr. Craig has given this statement the lie. Such dirty politics will only result in stirring sentiment for Mr. Craig, and should not be noticed, were it not for the fact that some people may be deceived. The News, along with hundreds of other thinking, fair-minded demo crats, has urged conservatism in legis lation affecting railroads, for the in terests of the people were at stake. It is a poor out that any man may not stand for fair treatment for all par ties whether they be corporations or individuals without some narrow and biased fanatic dubbing hira as being "bought off." If Mr. Craig may be termed a "conservative" he has earn ed a title that is priceless in this day of fanaticism. Give every man a square deal. Let us cut out this measley little cam paign of false-accusation and dirty in sinuation, and wage our campaign. on( issues, in a clean and decent manner.
