MAJOR BERNARD'S PASSING. AH the newspaper men ana many older citiaens of the state regretted to read that Major William H. Bernard, the founder of the Wilmington Star, North Carolina's oldest newspaper, had passed. The Star speaks editorially of him as follows, which we reproduce to assist In recording the Im portant historical items of the state: -Death claimed Major William H. Bernard yester day afternoon at j:ao o'clock, and The Star family is thus bereft of the founder of this paper in September 1867, more than fifty years ago. It is difficult to express the emotions of the group of newspaper work ers who have been with the veteran editor for many years or who have come latterly to the paper so closely associated with his name and achievements in the newspaper field. "Besides the Immediate circle of Star at taches at this time, there are taousands of Wilmingtonians and Star supporters throughout North Carolina who will ex perience a sense of deep sorrow because of his death. Of course, those of us who have been closely associated with "the major as we all knew him, arc sensibly pained at the thought that bt hat gone from the circle which be gathered around him In the long years ago or in the latter days of his owner ship of the paper till it wat taken over by the present Wilmington StarCompany. -Major Bernard was born at Petersburg, Va-, January tst,;!0J7 nd had lived to tee the 8itt year cf his are during "the past month. He has tpent a lifetime in the news paper businest, having become publisher cf his first paper ia Texas, when he was a very young man. He resided in Fayette ville many years when a young man, but the greater part cf hit useful career has been tpent in Wilnungton, The Morning Star, which wat the more enduring cf bit news paper ventures, remains at a monument to its founder. .... . -A more extended biographical sketch of Major Bernard appears elsewhere in this morning's Star, but we wish to say in this reference to his death that be Was a born newspaper man who steadily achieved and overcame the difficulties met m establish ing what became the oldest daily published in North Carolina. He possessed marked aad peculiar gifts as a writer as well as fine qualifications as a newspaper manager, and the members f the press throughout the Slate caa bear testimony with ua to the long and able and valuable service that he rendered to hit community. State and ptty." 1 , ' ' ..; ; V Of course the early gardei gets nipped by the late frost, sometimes, tut who is so timid he won't gamb on aa early garden? The man is not livinft. . sax ar m irswa araxoa axs OK Taaxva- SHIPBUILDER MUST GO SLOW The shipbuilders who returned work after being asked by the President to do so, did the 'right thing. But, the shipbuilders should not have stopped work. They should understand that ships are. being built to aid in the protecution of the war, and each shipbuilder should put himself in the place of the man In thetrench'es.' The man in the trenches will work twenty-four, hours a day if-the engagement lasts that long. He will go hungry aad he will be shot to pieces if duty calls. All he is doing is to help, as the shipbuilders are supposed to help, win the war. The man in the trenches cannot say he will not work unless he is paid overtime. - Let him desert his job' as the shipbuilders deserted theirs and the soldier would be shot at sunrise.- Where is the difference? These men are not the men they would be if we were at peace. To stop the federal contracts, no matter if the contracts are made with indi viduals, it to give aid to the enemy and to retard the prosecution of the war. Working men should - consider these things. They , should understand - that it now makes some difference on what job. they are employed. If employed to make , things in which the allies have no concern, then it makes no difference to the soldiers .whether they work or not. But to hold up ;the ships that will carry to them reinforce , ments aad food that is high treason and . should be punished as such. . ! ; TEN TIMES TOO MANY. .There are ten times, aye, a hundred . times,'too many different national crganiza- tions, each one In earnest ,and each one thinking: it is helping win the -.war. The mails are actually flooded with millions of pieces , of literature that are ' "never read ; never opened eimply thrown into the Waste. ; tii :;t, rnd it is safe to say that a million. f cll.-.:s . fncntL zu avar. only wasted 6a.;;: .-tttj-ajjn v.tTT. ?

Millions of dollars could be organizations and time is not wasted in even looking at them. The person going through the mail exclaims as he throws these envelopes into the waste basket, -Punk, punk, punk," and that ends it. Yet this stuff is prepared by a competent staff. It is printed. It is mailed. It is on good paper, and it is wanton waste. Almost a wilful, if not criminal waste of white paper, and the volume increases. It would be well for some one in authority to. have a few let terless days unless the letters were of real importance.. iMllions of dollars could be saved and thousands of publicity agents could cut wood or do something to really aid in the prosecution of the war. This is a serious matter and well worth the serious consideration of some one with power to act. i Pretty soon the ice man will be on the job. Wonder if he will be Hooverixed and we will all be obliged to have a few iceless days in August. That Nvould be tuff but we are here to stand for anything that bobs up serenely as a wax measure. THE RUSSIAN MUDDLE. Like wild men; like the anarchists and lawless devils that they are, Russia is just now plajrng the game of dog eat dog. Like a bunch of huskies beyond the fifty-third degree, weary of the trail, they eat each other. The Russians for all the years "since Russia has been on the map have been a semi-civilized crowd of barbarians and sav ages. They have had government but only for a while. Like the Mexicans they are born revolutionists, and in Russia where the Bolsheviki was bom we see the worst form of anarchy. So great is the country and so far, really, from civilization, we hear but lit tle of the suffering endured by the people. The news running now of where they are killing each other by the thousands is not unexpected news. It is good news, how ever, because Germany has been fooled and Russia will give Germany more trouble pretending peace than the Russians could give this country declaring war against it. ,. .. ,, , . o , : - 1 The war news today is to the effect that the aeroplane is doing more business than the submarine. The land forces are not in it compared to the air forces. The war is finally to be fought ix . the air, and that doesn't sound reasonable. J3ut it is. .. All agree that Old Glory looks mighty , good on that flag staff even if the big par ade was knocked out-by theweather. Old Glory looks good to us-fio matter where or how. Today she 'floats overall the world, and most any minute now new lau rels will belong to her.-. That western front battle will be part of.

And that is why, despite the fume and foam; despite the oratorical fussijade all will come out clear and clean in the wash why whatever is intended-as the termina tion of this war will be.; And with all your reason you can't get away from this irre sistible conclusion. : 1 NEW. FEDERAL JUDGE The bill to provide for an assistant to the Federal Judge in the Western District , of . North Carolina has finally been reported favorably and will perhaps soon . become a law. The politicians have tried for the last ten years to find some way to get Judge Boyd's place, but this new bill only fur-: rushes him an assistant. . That Judge Boyois old enough to retire il" he wants to there is no doubt. But the man who will listen to Judge Boyd in one of his talks made to the grand jury when he ooens his regular terms of court wl wonder why a more vigorous man is wanted Judge Boyd is mentally the peer of any man in the state. He is not over forty years old, just old, enough to have knowledge, when it comes to exercising his intellect. His patriotic speeches are always applaud ed ; grand juries sign resolutions commend ing what he says, and Democrats and Re publicans are loud in their praise of him. An assistant is all 'right. But the attempt , to displace, - which was " tried, was " cheap politics. Judge Boyd lacks neither; vigor nor courage noj intellect. He is there with the goods and is a man of wonderful vitality, his age considered. , : o ; WHEATLESS WEEKS. And now they are talking of wheatless weeks instead of wheatless days.. Well, why not? If the allies across the sea are . suffering for the want of flour is is mani festly up to those of us who are not going to the trenches to give up all the wheat we can. Flour bread is not essential1 to our lives because we have other things in abundance. It may be a little out of the ordinary to cut out flour, but it is also out of the ordinary for an American citizen to go to foreign lands to fight. It -is a world war, and all of us must help win it. Cut but anything and everything to win the day.
