HOW A HABIT IS FORMED Dope and red rye likker are not the only tr.ir.rt tnat become a part of man it he asso ciate! lone enough with them. There is a more insidioui aistcr, a more jealous siren, a more dangerous force than the material things mentioned, and that is the habit to pose as a martyr to all thine; to wave the red flag of anarchy; to fire the passions and prejudices of men to the detriment of well-ordered condi tion. In the journey to the open crave the man who hikes along a pike embowered in flowers and roes and beautiful trees and shrubbery and grams and clover fares better than the pilgrim who walks his lonely way down for gotten lanes, through weeds and briars. And the journeyman 'who pastes tne flowers and the tree and the shrubbery often forcets in deed, does not think that some human hand and tome human mind planned the planting oi the trees and flowers; that it was a son of man wno conceived the idea that were he to beautify his grounds along the road that it would be rest for the eye and pleasure for the patng pilgrim. Even if he planted selfishly. ajone to least his own greedy soul, he was yet a benefactor. And the man who planted noth ing, who only threw thorns and stones upon the path, he bad no soul for beauty, he had no ncAn lor numantty. And to we see those other sowers, those- who sow the seeds of thought. thoc who reach out me invisible nand and help the waylarcr on hit wav or retard his progress. We urd to, in me oia uays. me cays wnen the blood coursed warmer in our veins, think it was our mission to tcAr down; to obstruct; to wave the red lan tern on the road to happiness and stop the tram burdened with its joys. But as we grew older and as we observed cloter the thought occurred to us that inasmuch as ve were all children of the same parentage and all striving tor tne same end. which meant after all naueht ... . ... -- out human happiness, we concluded to shrft our muMC-to give the world something that would meet with approval. And in the minds Tjf-rnaoy we were nght. Whv should a man chance to turn in a'falr alarm, sec an oppor tuntty to jump astride some corporation and thut tickle the little souls of poverty, that is thtfllc and indolent, and makes the iumo aionc in oraer to gather in a few dimes and . . . . ... pennie from thc discontented, there arc even I thovc who applaud them and sav their editors are brave. They are not brave, but arrant coward ; gTcedy gluttons who would enrich themselves by prcyinr upon thc hanoiness of others. The grandstand and hot-air artist has been a long time with us. He is recognized and tolerated and the cencral public, which claims to be discriminating, and which is no:, supports the disturber of thc 'peace and votes him a great "jurnaJist" with leather lungs and thc mob howls and still howls "Bravo T Naturally when a woman worth sixtv mil lion die suddenly some people may wonder if there was any crooked work, but so far as ha developed there was no motive in thc Bingham mystery. o We Strenuouily Object. It may be all right to hesitate about adopt ing the phonetic system of spelling; it may be all right to cling to our idols lest we drop them and crush them all, but we strenuously object to newspaper writers, employing the word shipped in speaking of thc remains of a citizen. The word somehow is harsh. Thc story of "the death thc fmwers. thc tears, all thoc things mingled together and weighing" perhaps on a heavy heart to read that thc re mains were -shipped." It sounds too much like commerce, too much like merchandise. I.el ut say the remains were sent it sounds belter; it is .more subdued; it is sufficiently suggestive and we believe should always be used. The man died and his remains were seni to Qalarnazoo or elsewhere but he died and his remains were shipped to Kalamazoo never! o North Carolina will raise the five thousand men to sec that order is sustained. That will be easily done. o Look Like Hard Luck. The news from thc west, from Seattle, that twelve thousand ship builders will go on a trrike! Saturday because, satisfactory wages cannot he gotten looks bad for Uncle Sam just now. Too many strikes threatened. In San Francisco there arc something like twenty five thousand people on a strike, street cars are tied up. traffic is about suspended and no end teems in fight. Uncle Sam is having internal troubles, and unless he can straighten them out it will, go hard just now when all wheels should be in motion making munitions of war. 4) lill AT TB8 KZWI ITAXDS AJfD OX TRACTS THE DRAFT ON AGAIN SOON Everybody is wondering when the next draft will be made when the next .army will be called for training camps. There seems to be a great deal of doubt on the subject, and this article from the Danville Bee is of interest, as it ventures into speculation and perhaps gets the nght deduction. The Bee says: Three hundred thousand drafted men are now at the thirty-two cantonments or on their way thither. This represents ap- proximately 45 per cent of the first draft army of about 687,000 men. The national .. guard under that name has ceased to exit and is only referred to for convenience by that name to distinguish .the guardsmen from the drafted men, who are to be known as the national army. Hereafter a!! the troops Will be United States army troops without any differentiating distinc tion of name or title. The whele force will be organized into divisions and regiments, the latter to consist of approximately 3,500 men each. On the day of the mobilization of the first major increment of the drafted men Secretary of War Baker and department, chiefs appeared before the Senate finance committee with a request for the provision of an additional $287,000,000 with which to "provide equipment for a total force of 2.300,000 men. This may be taken to indi cate that as soon as the 687,000 men of the first draft arc housed in the cantonments another army will be called for from the men already numbered in the registration and drawn numbers. The next draft will probably call for fully 687,000 more men. Deducting two drafts of 687,000 each from 2,300.000 men for which equipment is asked, there remain 936,000 to make up that grand total. This probably repre sents the number of men now in the reg ular army and national guard commands. It has been made clearly apparent re cently that the reason the government has dering the volnnteers and lational guards- ' not proceeded more expeditiously in or mm 10 cmjis 13 inai u naa ueen pnysi cally impossible to provide for them; The average man is just faintly- beginning to realize thc magnitude of the task devolv ing upon thc war department in selecting, organizing, quartering, equipping and pro viding for feeding and clothing such an unprecedented number of men in a few months. We arc now beginning to realize what preparedness on a large scale and in 9 short time means. Armed men cannot c caused to spring from the soil at the mere waving of some magic wand, as the. unthinking appear to have anticipated. o Of course the blackmailing story circulated ircciy ai nrsi acainsi ine ponce and now against some individual won't stand on its own That is pure fiction, and it doesn't bol- ster up in any way a very bad situation. o ' As An Illustration. If any one wants to understand why prices arc high, let him look at the figures on steel. 1'rcsidcnt uson cut tne price ust in half, , concerned, and that was satisfactory to al and wages were not lowered. If t he President can cut the price on steel, it is hoped he will find a way to cut in on other things. No rea son in thc world why prices should be so high; and, while it may be socialistic to suggest it, it is time thc government took a hand all along thc line. , o The Central Carolina Fair is now assured. with bigger and better attractions all the wav around than ever. Anticipated Him. Guilford county anticipated Governor Bick ett, at least Greensboro did when she organ ized her rifle club. The Governor is now call ing for five thousand home guards or whatever they may be called. He wants enough men ready to act to suppress any kind of a riot that might occur. The chances arc that no riot will occur, especially if the citizens are pre pared to, suppress an uprising. When Mr. Garland Daniel ca'i.cd for'the or ganization of a rifle club it was at once agreed to be quite thc thing. Apart from its being protection jn case of an uprising of any sort, it furnishes innocent amusement and is a worth while .organization. Greensboro feels rather good over the fact that she .took the lead in this important movement that now promises to be state wide and which is offi cially endorsed by the Governor. o Gaston Means is feeling very wcll,he says, while doing time in thc Concord jail. It is rather hard on a man who has been so lavish with money and automobiles to sit in a cell all day, but Gaston isn't through yet. He comes from a family of lawyers and he perhaps knows a twist or two himself. And of course it is understood that we get no circus this season, but wc have plenty of amusement at the play houses. o ' ' Sunday is the last day of September, and we don't care if-it is. Do you? , - ESTABLISHED ' MAY, igoa: ; f GOOD TIMES HIGH PRICES The' country seems' to- be loaded up withr ; r ready money, and as long as that lasts times will be good. It may take fifty cents to buy aw;"; pound ,of butter, but if the- fifty cents; is' om : f hand it really makes- no difference. Back ia -I893 yu couldn't get hold of the fifty cents Butter then was offered at : twenty cents t a- . , " pound and many people cut it qut because they ' ; couldn't afford it. In .those days you wquld.'i; ; see an all-wool suit of clothing in a show "win v dow marked at five dollars, but the 1 five' dol- vj lars couldn't be gotten; and therefore times " were hard, while products were shamefully; . ; low.. 4c Those were the free silver, years the years -when bankers in the west hung signs via? their windows, At least, that no money coutcB be borrowed, and if you got a hundred dollars you had to give a gold bond; "nothing-elsef, would do. Free silver was the great craze2 and gold bugs feared disaster, or at least pre-- ; tended to, ahd while crops were plentiful anc? everything ridiculously cheap no one could; -buy. Silver was worth about forty-three cents an ounce and Bryan wanted to coin it and say it was worth one hundred cents. Coin Har vey, with a theory that looked good, demoral ized the world, and finally free silver and its advocates dropped out. The last quotation we saw on silver was something over a dollar an ounce, arid vuu hear nothing about double standards of money and you hear nothing about the tariff. - You simply hear some war talk, some high- price talk, some wbnder talk about what will happen, and the mail each day brings you the . glad tidings that all kinds of articles in your particular business have advanced in price, and you grin and bear it. "Just when this will end is guess workbut end it must. The , prices now are absolutely fictous; there, is neir.reasonorense; in what-is OT,-and' soMayehbTCo out.- Metal markets fluctuate without reason, v Paper is Worth what it happens to be quoted for. The other day we wired for quotations-' on paper in carload lots and received replies and prices varied as much as twenty per. cent ': apparently just the mood of the fellow offer ing the quotation. One good house said it could offer a bargain at a certain figure, and it looked good in the face of bills previously rendered, and within an hour another house just as good quoted paper thirty cents a hun-v dred pounds less and there you go. There was no reason for such a difference in price - it was all mill stuff, and the jobber simply was doing the best he could. A young man the other day told us that he didn't see how people could livt. on the present salaries, and said 'he had just paid fifteen dol lars for a pair of shoes his wife ordered, while another man was complaining because he had to pay a dollar for half-soling, his wife's shoes, whereas a year ago it cost but sixty cents. The older woman had learned the les son of economy, but where under the sun are we going when young men on salaries much, less than a hundred a month cannot resist the' temptation to pay fifteen dollars for a pair of shoes? " " '; Wonderful age it is. Forty years' ago, when we were on the pike and looked toward the east long before the sun was settiner, that was to pay three dollars for a pair of shoes was going: some. Five dollars for a oair of French kid boots elegant tops in Morocco leather and the real thing was considered a sin against mankind, and the one dariner enough to attempt such extravagance was considered a capitalist or a crook. But nowa- V days they tell us that in the big cities twenty five and thirty dollars is considered a small price ior the latest thing for milady in foot wear. .. In those old years, and, b'gosh, they were happy years, printers stood at. the case ten . hours a day and worked for seven and eight:' dollars a week, and married and reared their; families and owned their homes. , Nowadays ' to get twenty dollars or fifteen dollars and be V unable to live is the cry and things still going up. Just where we are going to get off is the problem that the philosopher cannot solve. To keep on advancing is impossible. Some day there must come the reverse ; the pendu lum must swing the other way. In the 1893 " panic, with the election of McKinley and. the war with Spain, we rapidly got back the mo- ;. mentum, ana instead ot profiting from the . sad experience of hard times and almost starv- ation in many places, because in December of 1893 there were six million idle men, men who wanted to work, we were soon on high speed -' -and forgot all about it. . .'-V-'v'-, And we are on higher speed than ever,With ; : the terrible lesson of the war across the seas; ' . liT. the fact that the allies have been forced to ) Si borrow of us nearly' three billion aonars iu ' gold; the fact that the world is really right V now impoverished if it undertook to square'-.'.? accounts, we keep on going headlong, cUzzy ' and undaunted, and the V question will u not ' down: Where are we going to get off?' . v ; .' .V- ; : s i '. ..' -1 ' 1 :!". srV ,ft
