The New York Herald doesn't mince matters when it come to talking of the slacken. J tte anarchiit and the pro-German editors w no pot money from the Germans. Thc.TrycT man r.cwpapcr vhich reached in and received German sold are getting a liulf .Jj" of late, but the drgamiations 1kc the tnoe pendent workers of the world, so called, ddnt iton. because their work was in secret. When the subscription lits of the pro-German news papers commenced to fall off and the publish ers found that the ready cash received from the German agents didnt compensate lor Iomc of the list they crawled into thetr holes. Hut the defiant secret organizations still held out. and only recently have been run under cover. They will now be dealt with. The Herald in talking about these matters very forcefully says: Whether they come from fellow sedi linni't or from paid 'attorneys, protests aaint the Department of .Justices -round up" of the I. V. V. centers will receive scant attention at the hands of patriotic American. So' other act of the federal authorities has more clearly repre sented the will of the American people. The I. V. W. has proved itself an organ iration defiantly criminal. Its members are the hhmaelites of industry, the ene mic of all honest workingmen. From the In-tinning of thi war. throughout the pe riod of neutrality and on into the period of belligerency, the organization has in spired crimes against the laws and the peace of this country. Its programme ha included destruction of forests and of fo4 crops the crippling of harvesting ma chinery and the burning ef grain elevators, and a long Ht of other crimes dictated by de?rc to cripple the nation in its gigantic Uk of self-preservation. Thetc can be no doubt that influential men in the organization arc or have been in German pay. It is to be hoped that as the result of this raid the Department of Jfutice now is in pocion of document ary proof of the sources of the organiza tion support. The American people have a right to expect, and do expect, that to thor found guiltv of crimes com mitted in the name of the I. W. W. no undue leniency will be shown by the court. Thi i no time for hair splitting or legal technicalities to hamper justice. Thi country's first interest is in her splen did rn uhi are giving their lives for her preservation; it interest in the traitorous r.nrdcxript who are seeking to stab her and her o!dier in the back i that there be meted out to thrm the punishment that fit the crime. U ihai the Drnartment of Justice ! will pftired ieedly. and that by the first of the vrar every pro-German agency will have t.cen wept oil the face of this continent. Thousand of secret service men are employed and valuable record arc being obtained. The German plot in other countries arc coming to light, and all of these things will be against the kaiter when peace is finally proclaimed. o If there wa ever anvlhing rotten in Den- w- , Death For The Agitator.

Those who are agitating, those Shrh ; free in thi count rv. even now in the lime of war, but it mul be remem bered that there i no such thing as speech without reponibiiity. Kvcry run can be held liable for the ctmse-,...rm'r- t( hi word as well as his act. Ths i a true in public agitation as in j 4.1 I nvate conspiracy, umcers 01 mc iaw now this to be true and must not ovcr- no it. Didder ha come from the effort to suppress meeting of peoples opposed to the war, and serious attention should be given the fact that thcc disorders have eomc, with serious result in"" some in stance. Those who address assemblages and in their talk attempt to stir mutiny, thwart the administration or prevent en b.incnt. make their purpose clear by their talk. The intent to c4mruct the proecu tipn of the war by speech i a defiance of the Uw a clearly as though the opposers were in action. The spoken word is evi dence of intent. Such meeting have been called "disorderly this belittles an occa sion which is much nearer to treasonable, and rather than attempt to "break up the meeting' the offender should be arrested and given in opportunity to disprove the charge of trraon. N'o guarantee of free speech operates in th e cae of agitators if it appears that t; rv are giving "aid and comfort to the en- r-ise of this rnuntr and H this can be proven by two or more witnesses then thev may. upon conviction, be punished.

The action of Governor Bickett in aUcnvmg the man Summers to pay a thousand:dollars fine, instead of serving three years tentiary, has caused many Pple bJ very indignant.. It has been official action gives mobs the real nghf, to form and operate. - Summers was found guilty ot manslaughter, and the court sentenced hm three years in the penitentiary. That vvas a light sentence if guiltyand a severe one f not guilty. The Governor had no moral right to 5ay that a thousand dollars in cash would buy freedom. It was to say that if the offender didn't have a thousand he must serve his time, and the Governor in giving his reason for commuting the sentence only saia that to pay a fine of a thousand dollars vyould meet the purposes of the law. In other words, the man found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to the penitentiary for three long years if he happened to have about him a thousand dol lars could go free. Was ever before such a startling statement made? Manifestly it was up to the Governor to find that Summers wasn't guilty and set him free without taking a thousand dollars, or let him serve his time 'as a convict. That is the proposition, and that is why we have had something to say along this line, and why we shall have more to say. But that isn't all. We received the follow ing letter from a well known Charlotte citi zen, one who sees the injustice of the Gov ernor's first action. The letter reads: Charlotte. N. C, Sept. 8, 191 7 Col. Al Fairbrother, Greensboro, N.C.: Dear Colonel: These are bargain days. I enclose clipping from the Observer, which shows that the Governor,, has. re duced the price of crime from $1,000 to $500. They will soon be selling in the ten-cent stores. Yours very truly OSMOND BARRIXGER. The enclosed dipping reads: Sheriff X. W. Wallace received a tele- -gram from Governor Bickett yesterday re ducing the fine of Dr. J. W. Summers from $1,000 to $500. The fine and costs in the case were due yesterday. Doctor Summers paid the fine, but the clerk had not completed making up the costs and these were not paid. m Doctor Summers was sentenceu to three years in the penitentiary for a criminal operation performed upon a young woman who died in a hospital here. From time to time he was respited by the governor and finally the jail sentence was taken off alto gether. He is prohibited from practicing his profession in the state for a period of three years. And so it happens, it would seem, that, not having a thousand dollars handy, five hundred likely plunks would meet "the purposes of the law," and by that token we take it if the doctor , who should have served his term like other criminals hav served their terms, hadn't happened to have the five hundred, then two fifty, and finally, as Barringcr suggests, a ten trent proposition would have done. Of course there is nothing for the average citizen to do. There is no redress, no appeal from such autocratic power as the Governor possesses. ' For some reason, God only per haps knows, the Governor takes a man found guilty of practicing the art ot abortion; a man .,Ktio notoriously known as such a prac titioner, because the chief of police of Char lotte'and the City Physician of Charlotte op posed the consideration of a pardon for Sum mers, and turns him loose, trying to make it appear that Summers cannot "practice his pro fession" for three years. If his profession vwas that of an abortionist he never had any license to practice it, and therefore the Governor took nothing from him in that regard. Small wonder that mobs now and then form in North Carolina and deal out justice to crimi nals. Small wonder that men who think say lhc courts are often corrupt and that if some one has a pull it is impossible to secure justice. Governor Bickett had no moftil right to pro ceed as he has proceeded in the Summers case. And all over this state there has been criti cism of this action. And if the Observer story is true, and we do not doubt it, this last act of reducing the fine to an amount to suit the doctor's purse well, there is no use to at tempt calm discussion of such a travesty. o Results. The merchants who advertise in The Rec ord, the biggest advertisers, tell us r they get satisfactory results from the use of our col umns. When wc tell them that our circulation is increasing, that we arc weed:ng out the dead-heads and building a list of substantial readers and that the list is daily increasing they believe it. Thai much for having char acter. It doesn't 'take an audit bureau and affidavits to convince the citizens of Greens boro that The Record's circulation is large enough to justify the rate charged advertisers. The Record is growing these days, and it is gratifying to the management. The after noon paper is the paper most used by local advertisers, because the afternoon paper cir culates in the vicinity where the local adver tiser looks for customers. The morning pa pers, being state wide, spread over more terri tory, but they do not render service with all their list to the local advertiser." For instance, if a man has the bellyache in Wilmington he isn't going to come to Greensboro to get para goric. He must buy his'dopc of a local dealer. That's as plain as a mole on the nose of a pretty girl. O 1 - The King Mystery.

Of Immense Magnitude. ; The suggestion that railroads could' not han dle the show trains and that passenger service rr,rht he interfered with when the. movement of troops commenced causea many pcupie to 0 41 l. think that there was undue excitemenx in ran- road circles. But the -following ngures given out. by the American Railway Association con firm all ftories to the effect that the railroads would be up against -the biggest proposition ever encountered by them: Altogether 687,000 men will have to be transported to the various cantonments that the Government is building to house the new national army. The movement will start September fifth. Between that date and September ninth , the railroads will complete the entrainment of 200,000 men, or approximately 39 per cent, of the - total number scheduled to be moved to the various training camps. It is expected that a second movement Of approximately 200,000 men will begin on September 19th, continuing for four days. thereafter, and a third movement of the same size on October 3rd. Some conception of the magnitude of the task confronting the American Rail- . way Association in preparing schedules that wilr assure the safe and prompt trans portation of these armies without interfer ing with regular traffic may.be gleaned from the fact that to move merely one field army of 80,000 men requires 6,229 cars made up into 366 trains with as .many locomotives and train crews. Meanwhile, in .addition to moving the 687,000 recruits for the national army, the railroads have been asked to supply transportation for the 350,000 members of the national guard to their training camps. . This national guard movement has already started and will continue in increasing volume until all have been moved. It -would take some time for three hundred and sixtv-six trains to move, and while these are moving for several days it means, per- haps, that the ordinary passenger win De AhlJfrft to walk. The armv has the rieht of w"brM J 0 way. - " ' o The election is coming along, and people who vote for an increase of school tax under stand it is to pay teachers ahd not to buy spiral stairs. The City Commissioners have em ployed their teachers and the people must see m m a that they are paid. o - The Man With An Idea. . It is now being related that George Pullman one time went into a cobbler's shop to have his shoes, repaired while he waited, and notic ing the cobbler at work, saw him pull down a shelf from the side of the wall and take there from some sunrlics. The idea struck him as being t possible chance to make a sleeping car 'shelf for passengers, ind he set-about it, and from that evolved his sleeping car. which has made billions of dollars and given comfort to billions of passengers on the lailway.s . The idea is that the cobbler planned a .shelf fne the niimose of-faking care of 6 a do Ihr' 4w 4.. r- - 1 c? . - 4 m .nil 4.1i J worth ot material ;-Dut ruuman, witn a uroaa cr vision, took it and adopted it, and r.adct himself rich arid famous. The cobbler d dnt look ahead." He saw nothing beyond the wall on whjch he put his shelf, while Pullman saw all the world as a possible customer. And so it is as we journey on. Ore man thinks out something worth while; but he stops in front of his own door. The cobbler, instead of Pull man, was entitled to what followed, but the cobbler didn't keep on looking. The great ;s p0rtraved in the inoViion that A jrrnnBliopper Klttlnp on a sweet potato viue, Anl a tnrkejr jroliMer .-jniie up behind AihI yankel him off thiit sweet potato vine." So all of us who have icleas, who see things, should not close our eyes risrht now, but look ahead, peer into the future, get the horizon e tended, and maybe wc could gather our own fruits. And these are the happy school days, kiddies started this morning. " The At Random. AS IT WAS.
