NEWS One Divorce To Every Twelve ridges T WAS news to us, and there fore we pass it .along assuming it may be news to others who read no more than we . read, -that in America there is one divorce to every twelve mar-, riages. : This startling staic; ment was made last wppW A a Richmond audience by Dr. .Leon Harrison; a distinguished Jewish rabbi, of St Louis. While making this' statement . he said the combined percentage ofEagtand, France and -Germany was Jmuch 'lower tfja'n this. 'Why is this condition peculiar to Amer ice?! he asked"Is ifbecausewe have a low er moral standard thanl the countries I have named, or is it because- there are certai n so cial .and political .conditions here that do not exist-in the lands across the Atlantic? v : : Answeririg this:question, he said ; that in' comparison with Vthef . nations of the world the moral standard of America was riot of a low. order, but, on the other hand, wasap preciably in, advance, of that of other coun tries that boasted an old civilization; but be cause of the very, "fact that Jt was a land of " limited freedom and r unrivaled chivalry to- -"'-i and its women repudi- 1 f restraint; "xist- . ng. n ; Occupying his . position,; she , y. ouiu tolerate no. restraint wouicrassume no. responsibility,- and would" assert her freedom of action and of thought at "all times and dn all "occasions. ' - - ' - - Dr. 'Harrison -rpointed out that the people of this country were migratory in theii habits and easily lost T their love of home ; their life was more cosmopolitan than that of any other people, and no particular place held long the peculiar cliarm of home. "and too often they forgot their wives and all they meant to them in attaining the cherished ideal of a full, hap py life.- He said that in England very few men ever left the county of their bjrth; each locality had its peculiar brogue, and the spirit of restlessness, so prevalent in America, is entirely absent. In consequence there were few divorce cases and Jew shattered homes. -The speaker said that the ultra-democratic spirit of America was largely responsible for the light regard in which Americans held the marriage relation. : v - - Quits The Came. Senator Poindexter of the state of Wash ington has quit the Progressive party and will go- back to his first love; ; the. republicans. This is the last really great man . to turn around, and itv leaves theBull Moose concern without any assets: - It will perhaps go into bankruptcy in ahort tirne. provided, any one can be found to act as receiver. ' x All ThelyLiehineTy. It is announced that all the machinery of the government will be used to " assist - the Secretary of the treasury in the. suit filed by the- Riggs National Bank against McAdoo. ,This will' mean a" big battle, and Uncle Sam will- assume all responsibility for what his nepnews nave Deen; doing. , , - - " ' o " " - - - The Court House., J- ' . , i We hear but little about the bonds. The farmers say, they aredmded, 'many for and many against, --..r HighPpint is said to be against the proposed issue; and many Greens boro citizens "doubt the advisability of erect ing" an office building.' . The boosters and boomers ; are in favor , of bonds anything to get some business where the court house now stands alone. .The en-. thusiasm .is so far lacking.

Si :: SATURDAY, APRI I HE WON IN PRIMARIEST T WAS gratifying to us to know that Mayor James I. Johnson, of Raleigh, was re-elected. That is he went into the primaries and had two people runningagainst him hVbeat 'em both 370" in a vote of 2,500. In other words Johnson was handsomely endorsed by the cit izens of Raleigh. His administration was given the seal of approval, and the attempt of those, who long have wanted in to yell "Ommission Form" und all that didn't work. Johnson, is a first-cla$s citizen. " : He has been Mayor : long enough to know what to do, and he does his duty fearlessly and hon estly. ; Raleigh 'is. to be congratulated on the result of the. primary., ' " . ---"--- - 'A Frank- Loses In Court.

" But to him -perhaps it would be a -great victory. .Frank insists that the day will come when the negro, whose testimony convicted him, will make a clean breast of the murder and exonerate Frank. " However, Georgia is 'very much di vided. The people of the whole country have expressed widely divergent views and it is hard to tell. Seems to us that he should have a fair and impartial trial. That he certainly didn't have, -viewed from a moral standpoint. Legally it may have been. Georgia makes nothing by taking Frank's' life. To hold him in prison and give him a chance that seems to thousands of reasonable men.to be due him, is not asking much. The Governor of Georgia should stand up and say that he would not let Frank die while there, is doubt in so many ininds. - But the chances are that - Frank will go to the chair. Sentiment is against him and a lot of bullet headed idiots, think that because he is a Jew he should.be judically murdered. ' . . i. Got Automobile. Under the new likker law the vehicle carry-ing-' the fluid is ; contrabrand, and in Rowan county this week, an automobile containing 35 gallons of whiskey was captured. There were seven kegs of the new made corn, and the car was driven by a man named John D. Charles. -The man is held in $iooo- bond' and perhaps will have a hard time telling all about it. One of "the funny things about the capture was that a. negro was in the car but he saw howj things looked, made for a creek, waded through -and got away. The white man tried -to..-run but the officers. held him. ' To'Run: . It is semi-officially announced wherever you go,, that Mr. Carl. Duncan will no doubt be the republicanandidatei for governor. He is a business man a man representing Bigv Busi ness. -.It willTbe charged against him that he has more than two dollars and a half and for this ; reason democratic -spell-binding politi cians will ask that he be crucified.; If the dem ocrats are not; wise enough' to nominate a business " man to run against- Duncan the stars read to qs that they had better look out. ;.. "-:' - o : - ; : ; : J The Libel Suit. . v; . ' v.7 Colonel Roosevelt is defending a $50,000 libel: suit, " He said some things about "boss Barnes" and-the gentleman called Teddy. He brings him info court to prove what.he said. Too long and far too long public men have '. shot off their mouths. Roosevelt may be able to prove what he said. -It so all well and good But i he shot xft his mouth because he didn't like Barnes all hope Barnes will win his case. Jfr. Roosevelt sued'a man who slandered him, and of course .tiirn about is; nothing but air play.-. . - . . ; - A C. T' J Ot. JLOUIS For Forgei AST year's garden needs v ing this year the flowers vegetables may have been all right, but the. grass seed fell and you've got to fight 'em each year. And weeds grow faster and they, grow- ranker than flowers or vegetables and sin and vice grow more luxuriantly than good ness and purity. It was not long ago. as we" reckon time, that Folk cleaned up St. Louis, made a sensa tion that elected him Governor and suggested him for the Presidency, and it was thought that all the political grafters and rogues in public life in that great city were doing time. It was thought at least that it would be a long time before political- corruption dared to again stalk forth at mid-day. " But behold last week -vugust H. Frederick was elected president of the St. Louts Board of Aldermen, a position in which he would share with the Mayor and the comptroller the responsibility of drafting the budget, and in a few days he was indicted for forgery. He was elected by 22,000 majority. He said he would resign and is held in a bond of $10,000. The minimum penalty for forgery in Missouri is . ten years imprisonment. Frederick has been indicted for forgery in the first degree. Of course it looks unreasonable that a man so popular; a man so universally " beloved would be guilty of such conduct but he per haps has given those making charges the best excuse in the world for indicting him. ' The lessons mankind learn seem, to. be forgotten J by many. But because one goes wrong is no,' - - to thmklhat the Folk. clean-up didn't? ; ;Jiitting Haivey; Perhaps, Editor Harvey is getting the re v sults'he wanted. He devoted liis front rase. of the' North American Review to a ro.:-t for fair of the Secretary of the Navy. The fric: Is of the Secretary, and of course they are nary, do. not reprint the articlc.but they star d t : and hand it fcack to Harvey. The Kcview sells for thirty-five cents per, and doubtless circulation has been increased because the defenders of Daniels have created-, intert. Harvey is a wise old publisher and perhaps knows something of circulation building. - Wonderful. There are more test cases on in the mat ter of likker than anything else. The different states which have passed "drastic laws are call ed upon to defend them, and wonderful it is, they most always win. But Old John likes the daw. He hopes to slip in. He knows he has no' particular standing in court, but he plays the long chance. The" Lonesome Quart law will beup a dozen times before it is finally disposed oi. ' T v : .:'"' : ' "T o "-; Clean Up Week. Clean Up Week has been observed this week in Greensboroand it suggests that if we could have a Clean Up Week about once a -month it would be very good an excellent thing. - The city looks much better but why wait a whole year, to clean up? Why not once a month? ".'':. vv ;. ' . ' , , o -. . ; - - Impressive. ' , We attended the funeral of Colonel An drews in Raleigh Monday, and it, was an im pressive sight to see the -crowded church fill ed with people who loved him. - The floral of ferings were many and magnificent. . - o - -..: ' A Personally Conducted Tour. . That was a great special cat trip containing all the convicted election heelers from Indiana going to Leavenworth Federal prison in a spe cial car a personally conducted excursion by the Sheriff. The, convicted men could not se cure bonds and they are now doing time. Hereafter the chances are the man who thinks he can buy voters and stuff ballot boxes will have a care. V ' . ; - ; . ' ' -o- . Looks Good To Us. ' The Pennslyvania is just now making ar rangements to - spend " $20,000,000 in new equipment. This looks good. Rapidly the clouds are breaking good times are only just around the corner. - '.-"' - w- After the election we may not get cheaper - . 'II i.l gas out we certainty win get less gas. . They' tell us that the, Georgia peach crop is a failure. Well, 'it Tnav come again. It is generally, a failure about" this time of year but still it is large enough. ; lioa" Jg. dred thousai, I sne eave to ot tnends, and the rest went to deserving charities and institutions of learning. ' ' . . Mrs. Rockefeller lived a quiet life never took part in the social whirl around and about her.; The two million she had of her own, will of course be set down by the envious, and those jealous of success, as blood money. Of course it isn't there is no such thing as blood money. The money she gave to churches and institutions of learning she never saw; she . never touched. It is represented by securities," in legitimate commercial institutions ; it is clean money honest money the same as all money in the world. Is clean and honest. . Mney that is called blood money is not in circulation. It does not exist. The men who make it and make it by the millions, often give -their life blood to accumulate it, but the money is clean. -: v, . We are glad . Mrs. Rockefeller gave away her fortune as she did. Her husband one of these days. 'will;. pass kway and his ' almost countless millions will be lavished here and there to make the world better, and surely e should be glad that we have among us sc:r . . people who can get and hold great s".- ' : money. rot be Were it not for .OVC i .. . : 1 . 1.. ; - v - - - , Edward K. Graham vyilhfnake an ideal pres- ';' ident of the University of North 'Carolina.. v Peculiarly fitted in every way to fill this im portant and responsible position the state is to be congratulated upon having such a man at the head of its chief institution of learning. The Abstainer's Union. William J. Bryan is booked to deliver foui addresses in New York on April 30, all pn; hibition. The National Abstainer's Union is at work, and Mr. Bryan is helping it in its campaign. The Lonesome Quart law doesn't allow a man to abstain in North Carolina. The hope is that some day the Quart law will be abolished. Soon Over. The primary convention will be over next week. The chances are that the old board will be elected by at least. two to one. We feel that it should be, and this isn't saying any thing in the world against the other people running. Doubtless the old board will give us better service. It will if experience amounts. to anything. " . o - . ' . The Poor Wretches. In two weeks 506 drug users have been ar rested or voluntarily gone into hospitals in New York. Under the Harrison law.it is hard for the drug fiend, so-called, to get his dope, and he must do "something. Wracked nerves demand it it means insanity not to heed their call, and these unfortunate human beings who didn't know just how far they had gone are forced to surrender and ask for treatment. All ofwhich shows that while the new law may be a hardship for -the present it will in the end prove a blessing of untold value. , ' To Celebrate. . The Charlotte Observer tells the boys to pass the news Charlotte will celebrate the 20th of May, and of course when Charlotte celebrates she celebrates and there is no doubt about it. . . - . . :" -. '. The" Yellow Peril. It is now claimed that the Japs are trying to establish a naval base at -Turtle Bay in Mexico, on the gulf of lower California. And it is also said that there is no truth in the storvv- .But just one glimmering speck and the Yellow Journals write about the Yellow Japs. ... ... - V;-; : . 2 ncYt m 1 1 i
