A proud and opu lent city was captured, the gold and silver and precious loot were taken and divided and soon cat awav; but the man who won the distinc tion, who was the chief and distinctive It, the V'Jow striving to, secure the Carnegie hero medal, was not out to swell htt bank account, but to add to his gory bell the scalp of be leaguered cities; to apply the torch and re lentlessly pursue human being?. He loved to gaie upon the fire4il heavens, if thr- conflagra tion wa of his making, and the cries ol agony and diitres ascending from the throat of his countle victim was muic, sweet and sooth ing. The Alexander, the Caesars, the Hanni bal, the Tamerlane, the Marlborough, the Frederick and the Ilonapartes, they were not the General of Finance which wc have today, but their wa a geniu in another trend; they ought glory and achieved glory by dying their country in blood and by making ash heaps where proud palaces had reared their head. It wa always a war of conquest in thoc days, a it i a war of conquest in these days, but gold today i the prize fought for and won. and the general in the conflict arc no le grim and desperate than Ibosc who waged a war with powder, spear and torch. In the old days when military captains, diked out in their braid of gold and tinsel, with golden badge and the cross of honor for j having kil'ed more than one who rid not wear S it, the insignia of office; the glittering trap ! pflg; the excitement of the tented field s thoc were the things that appealed to those j grim tragedian; and today the reveille is I founded from the counting room the type- writer and the ticker do what cannon and hcll ? d;4 in the old days in the fierce game of con s quet. i When the wars ended, when those who fcxirrt had vrtn or rrT. were overpowerrd or , ubducd. or had triumphed because of the rout and scout of the o-caHed enemy and ihc enemy wa perhap but defending hi home. hi natie land ihtrc was applause lor ihc re turning troopers; there was glory for the Cu'im bark and whines just outside the gate: these dav when men who arc not sue- ccfui would tear cown those who arc; tnese deneratc dav when all men want a million ! and are satisfied with no less and all trymfT to achieve, we hae a crowd 01 bespangled re former, beating their drum and blowing their horn, and each one with a newspaper or a magarinc to sell.

OCTOBER 6, 19x7., SOCIALISM IS 1 VAIN DREAM Socialism is at best a dream, a Utopian A ream apothesiscd by Bellamy in his impossi ble Looking Backward; the , vagary of " the mind distorted by want and lack of capability to do; a fierce, wild dream of something for nothing; the outpouring of a heart sad and un satisfied, but Jacking all that is practical or practicable. The Socialist claims that capital is wrong; but no one ever becomes a socialist until he has made a dismal failure in striving to secure capital, unless he be a grafter, and pretends to endorse socialism in order that It may boot him into something or other. The theory of socialism is something that irresitiblv appeals to man. It is the creation' of a world with divine realities; a world where every man is a comrade, a brother; all on the same level of social recognition, and all of the brotherhood assuming the financial obliga tion. No want, no greed, no avarice, no jeal ouy; nothing but smooth -sailing o'er calm seas, and ever an outstretched hand for the un fortunate or stricken one. The glad hand and smile of welcome from every soul you meet; sunbinc in the darkest da's, ahd happiness singing its songs of love both day and night. No turmoil; no discord; no envy; the Brother hood of Man perfected; an ideal world such a world a has been promised beyond the grave to thoc who fear God and' who love Him. And the socialist would set up such a world here here among the passions and conflicting emotions of men; here where strife is ever ready to crush and strike; here where greed knocks down and walks over the bleed ing bones of helpless weaklings; here where 'jealousy is ever enthroned; here in this hard work-a-day world where the Rich Man and Iararu have -ever been. Socialism would change the conditions ofj commerce, the conditions of society; it would wipe out a world of history and traditions of six thousand years; it wouM deny that traits of character arc transmitted from sire to son; it would, with the twinkling of an eye, make white black and black white; it would trans form, iho woxJJ a if by magic; and make true a rtream more false than Uved by Alchemists of old. In the strange conditions which it would adopt it would build cities; it would own all public utilities; it would cjush individ ual ambition; it would bring a chilling blight on all grand dreams of conquest, whether of wealth or power; it would put a dull edge on fhe blade of Love and clothe Ambition in the cerement of the grave. The spirit of advan ture and exploration would be subdued, and had socialism spread its mantle of languor oVr the world five hundred years ago the peo ple of the earth would have lived forever in a world flat and circumscribed and the Western World would never have been discovered. There would have been no Give to restore and plunder India; no Stanley to penetrate the dark recee and jungles of Africa; no Cecil Khode to build empires, and no George Fran ci Train to span the continent of America with iron band. like crowded maggots in a cheese no distinction and no need of.it. Naught but a crowd of loungers; bowels well filled and nothing doing. No manion reared by multimillionaires, for there would be none; no twenty-story office structures of steel and clay for buy men who toil both day and night; nothing but tent like thoc of the Arab hrik or like thom: pitched by Abraham on the plain of Mamrc; no lcndut court,af Baby Ion or PcrsepoJi; no gay equipages for the men who toiled and won; the man with ten talent paing nine of them to neighbors who had but one; a community of dependents; the drone on ICay street while industry toiled to keep him there. That would be socialism. It would be the Impoible with no existence but in a dream. Socialist deny all these thing. They say their theory i tangible and no one can an Mur them, because logic, horse sense and cold fac? in no way appeal to them. If we remind them that all our dreams fail of their realization; that Hope i the greatest and bravest warrior of the world; that no matter how often he i disappointed, no mat ter how many times he i knocked down and dragged out, he still come back smiling and radiant and lead u on they say "They know If we remind them that when h young man and the young maiden first pledge their lloth that thry live in a world where naught but fairy form disport themselves; that he know and ?he know that when they are married the world will change for them"; that then the transformation comes and from the weed-choked field springs a vast garden with fragrant perfumes and bursting buds and they alone will be the favored butterflies to sip the sweet and nectar which the gods have given, and that dream is rudely brushed away a, alas, it always 'is, they tell us that it will not be so with socialism. Where was ever a ueeler dream than. that enjoyed by "the maiden who walked the narrow aisle to the attar' rail; who stood before the solemn man of God and pledged her vow of love; who held her velvet hand so that tremMi" fingers of. him who was all the world 1 ,-- could place the wedding ring: who hear the mad. wild bell ring for joy for love requited: who felt the thrill and melody of passion fierce and pure; who lived the joy that she was a bride OK AXJB AT TBS VZWI AMD OK TKAIZTl JAP MISSION SIGNIFICANT The Japanese, the Yellow Peril which Hob son saw in dreams, have a mission in this country and it is showing us the friendly rela tions that exist between the tvyo nations. In speaking of the present visit the New York Herald says that "the Japanese who comprised the first mission from that country to the United States in i860' were strangers in -a strange land. The members of the mission which New York will welcome today are friends in a land of friends. Coming as repre sentatives of the emperor, the government and the people of a nation that is America's ally in the world's greatest war, they are assured a welcome not merely cordial but enthusiastic. "It was from a land of daimios and samurai, a land just emerging from centuries of seclu sion, that the first Japanese to visit New York came. Of western methods and western civil ization they knew-nothing. The mission wel comed today comes from a Japan virile, pro gressive, up to date measured by the highest, standards of-the-western world; a Japan that has profited by adaptation and assimilation of all that is best of western life, without sur rendering anything of the good of her older civilization, thereby winning a place in the front rank of the world's nations. "Japan has sent us of her best. The man who leads her mission bears a title earned by able, faithful; intelligent work in her. diplo matic service. Viscount Ishii was an untitled secretary of legation when he went through the Boxer siege .at Peking. He rose to be minister of foreign affairs and holds ambassa dorial rank. His associates also are men dis tinguished in their lines. The welcome that is assured them is grounded upon admiration for the land they represent, a land always America's friend." : , o 1 Scientifically Expressed. It has been a habit and a custom of burs truly to always profit from what we see arid hear. The other day in inspecting a sleeping car and wc wcre'not trying to ride the trucks, no, not at all wc-saw stenciled on the heavily rivet ed-boiler underneath which holds ' the hot air arid steam thesc'words: "Four tanks No. 830. f Combined capacity,, 752 cubic feet at ten atmospheres." Now get on to that. So whenever you hear a populistic spellbinder out talking to the people, and you want to know something about his capacity, his lung capacity, just find out how many tanks he has; get an idea of the combined capacity in the matter of cubic feet at ten atmospheres, and then congratulate yourself that he didn't have, say, twice that number of tanks and twenty atmospheres. o Things Unequal. The luscious grape, with purple tinire and sun-kissed glories, goes to Wine and, mellowed with the tender hand of time, creeps through the gray cells of wearied brain and gives the Hired Man the Jimmies. While corn and rye, fresh from the fair fields, matured and ripened, are chocked into the vat where moonshiners' stills abound, making likker red and rank, so that he who quaff may strangle his mother-in-law with impunity and great eclat. But the golden plum, sun-kissed and purple, too. is greedily snatched from its parent stem and laid on the horse stable roof, dried and seasoned and served to the hungered ones of the boarding house across the way as pale-blue prunes. And tnus is inequality in Nature. o Mr. Heflin Quit. Mr. Heflin didn't resign, oh, no; but he turned off his wind works and hasn't accused any more Congressmen of being red handed in corruption. The honest members of the house were about to make it very warm for Thomas, and he drew in his horns. Happily the day of the gallery orator is passing. People have the numbers of the grandstand flapdoodle ones, and what they say doesn't go far. o All that glitters" is not gold but suppose it was: you would have to hustle to get your, share. at last? That was as a socialistic dream. But, hark! there was a rude awakening. When that white lamb was shorn by the hand of lust and offered as a sacrifice on the altar of Gold or Convenience, her shattered idols fell fell and crumbled and lay beneath her feet. No matter how nearly the after life came to being an ideal one: no matter how much he loved her or how much she loved him, there never was seen in the realism of their lives the delicate shades and shadows, the fairy forms of love high leaping as her heart turned to her eager eyes. Anticipation was always a hopeful sis ter. " Realization', stern and pitiless, excludes theories and gives us boneless facts. ".Dream on, thou torn and tattered remnants of perfection, shreds of shattered hopes and crushed ambitions dream on; dream on thou shaggy dog of Gullibility lying in the sun to day; dream op ye workers begrimed with smut ; dream on and forever on of that Arcadia where want and hunger and woe and sorrow arc unknown, that socialistic heaven which isi never to be. of earth dream on, toil on, and diel : ' ESTABLISHED MAY,; 190. THINK LOSING OUT The Rocky Mount Telegram, doubtless not CLAUD as enthusiastic for Claude Kitchin as some oii:0y the people in the east, has this to 'say: " . .'V t .f 1 Colonel Al Fairbrother, , of the Greens-;--.'.C . boro Record, seems to' think hat "as a congressman Claude Kitchin is liable to Fii:' die in the harness: He is just about in-v-y-; vincible in his district," and while we ;r;jg spect the editor's opinion all right and, in . ' . fact, .we at times have our: very serious ; - doubts that he isn't correct, yet on the-'V-f l; other, hand there seems tolbe a growing1 discontent and as the folks in Mr. KitchT 1 : , - r in's district read more' and think' m'orei jii; there isn't as much in the way of applause ' as Avas once accorded him And the f act that the congressman V father, allowed amn ; bition to get too high with -him and it:yt worked his defeat, is pointed to by the , Greensboro editor as an exception to the v ' traditions of the Kitchin family, while we; K ;;' think it is rather much of the rule and it ; . : : hasn't been sq long since we - remember, ' w.

Anent the white paper 'wantonly -destroyed 1 ' .' each day in sending punk to the press the- . Marshvillc H6me says: I " Fairbrother's Everything refers to' the r -enormous waste of white paper in the " - hundreds of tons of paper used by the va- j rious governmental agencies in sending ' press circulars to the newspapers, the bulk of which goes into waste baskets without v being opened. The greater portion of4it is dry and uninteresting as it is .written, I and is not in shape to attract or hold the . v. ! attention of readers. These agencies that 1 . supply the press have, it seems, multiplied tenfold since the war began, and their 1 printed matter fills up the waste baskets "I - in newspaper offices every tew days, and still the volume grows. Here is, indeed, ' one place where the principles of conserv- ... ation and economy might well be very ' profitably applied. If printed matter must be supplied by governmental agencies, an expert should be employed to condense it and put it in readable form before it is sent to the newspapers. Even the state of North Carolina has news , bureaus sending out stuff by the ton which fills the yawning maws of editorial waste bas kets. . This office receives fiom fifteen to twenty letters a day that are never opened. . "Punk!" exclaims the recipient of the mail, and they are tossed in the waste basket. . Many of them carry stamps most of them from Ra- . lcigh. Seeing the above item, we counted '. 3-e?terday the number of parcels received from " c'iflerent sources :nd to our surprise there' were eighty-one of them, and every day that number of pieces cf. literature, absolutely;' wasted, come to this office. We take it 'that every printing office is on the list, and the con clusion is that tons of paper and thousands pf dollars in postage and transportation are daily lost. Why not conservation along this line -instead of wasting so much precious material? o : Slush, Fund.. And so it happens that .Mr. Bernstorff, who wrept copiously when diplomatic relations with his country were broken off, wasn't such an ar dent believer in Aftierica after all. It appears that he was using German gold to influence lawmakers to see that America didn't declare -war against Germany.- The whole German plot, as it develops, was a wonderful system. turned, and as we get the facts in the case the more we feel justified for what we have done -and arc doing. America came in just in time. It had been on in this country for many years. It is nowv evident that Germany was always afraid of the part America would. play when, she launched her war. against France and Eng- ' land. The fact that America is doing just what Germany was plotting : and spending, -money to keep her from doing certainly gives no inspiration to the kaiser. .-America will de- ' cide the issue, and the issue, is to be nothing -but the annihilation , of the .
