TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1916.
The old Grand Duke has shown
CJzar Nick that he can make good,
and that there is something to him
after all.
Even at that, $3,000,000 is a
small price to pay for so much pro
tection as we hope to get from the
Nicaraguan treaty.
But if the government can get
■German dyes for its own use, why
can it not work the trick for the
private manufacturer?
From recent reports from over
the State, one would think that
there is need of some sort of pre-
jaaredness in our jails.
Ink bottles and paper weights
■flew thick and fast in the Oklahoma
legislature Friday. E-r-r-r-r! The
Wild and Wooley West!
Were we a suffragist we should
not be so ashamed of the cause as
not to sign our name to literature
when sending it to some one else.
If England and France in the
West would do as well as the Rus
sians are doing in the East, things
■would soon begin to look differently.
This argument that woman will
purify politics once she gets the
vote hasn’t been proved in places
whe re the ballot has been granted.
V.’hen Congress runs out of pork
bar^’el bills and all minor legisla
tion, it will doubtless talje up the
less imp)ortant questi^ of n^,tiona^,
defense '
Chairman Warren said Butler
helped the situation here, but we
had about as soon he would remain
in Washington as come to North
Carolina.
Mr. Butler doesn’t care two
■straws about the charges against
Mr. Hammer, only in so far as he
can get political campa'gn thunder
out of them.
If Sweden, a little country right
at the seat of war, can kick against
England, it would seem that Amer
ica, a big neutral, might at least
Join in the reprimand.
It was to be expected that there
would be petitions, to save Mrs,
Warren, but it is hoped that the
Crovernor will not allow sentiment
to get the better of the justice of
the case.
We are not prepared to say just
why the mill men are opposing the
Keating bill, but our only objection
is that the Federal government
■would be assuming control over
State matters.
We hope some way can be ar
ranged to keep the Terrible Ted in
the West Indies, not that we are
particularly afraid of him, but that
we don’t want to have to listen to
■what he has to say.
And before this thing is done
with, Mr. Root may be sorry that
he said it.
If the machine is with Mr. Hart-
ness, Mr. Grimes had as well drop
out of the race.
To hear the Republicans talk,
things are always lovely in their
ranks until the votes are counted,
A fellow doesn’t have to think long
ro make up his mind to quit the ser
vice of the government once he finds
he is fired.
After all this straining, relations
between the United States and
Germany are going to pop in two
some of these days.
America has no need for a navy
as big as England’s if the British
could do no more to us than they
have so far done to Germany.
But Germany never dreamed that
in deciding to sink armed merchant
men she was providing campaign
thunder for the politiicns over
here.
A preparedness that will make
the big salary fellows pay the bill,
and make the other fellow do the
fighting will have our heartiest
support.
We are unable to figure out the
advantage of the State-wide pri
mary if bosses are to be permitted
to continue to dictate the candidates
for all offices.
There 'is no question about Mr.
Kitchin standing by the party plat
form, but the platform never con
templated any such a situation as
today faces the world.
But maybe after those New York
Republicans had heard Mr. Root’s
speech they decided that sort of
stuff couldn’t turn the couple of
million votes needed.
If, after forcing every possible
available man into her army. Great
Britain can’t carry on this scrap,
we think it is about time she were
throwing up the white flag.
It would seem to be only fair for
us to cut off some of the things
Great Britain wants if she won’t
us put through these commod
ities we would like to sen' her.
But permitting a pervjersion of
justice by mere sentiment would
be a greater smirch .on the fair
name of the State than would the
stain of a woman’s blood upon the
electric chair.
So many Congressmen are so bus
ily engaged in introducing little in
significant bills to pacify the folks
back home and to assure re-election
that they have but little time to
serve their country.
Those Pitt county authorities
ha.ve had due warning of what is in
the air, and if they don’t avoid a
repetition of the Wayn county af
fair, the blame certainly will be on
their own shoulders.

It all shows that England is al
most in the last ditch when she
comes here begging for men to
fight for her, while her own citizens
stay at home and plan more
atrocities on American commerce.
It is to be said to the credit of
the Grand Duke that he has ac
complished more for the cause of
the Entente than any other com-
-mander, that is, in the way of an
aggressive campaign.
The administration may decline
to accept Germany’s plan to sink
armed merchantmen, but we serve
notice here and now that if we,
speaking personally, go to war with
Germany because some fool Amer
ican gets on one of those ships and
loses his life, we are going to have
to be made to go.
If the women of North Carolina
■don’t want their sex to pay the
penalty prescribed for murder, why
don’t they get the Legislature to
abolish capital punishment. We
are oj^osed to capital punishment
as much as any of them, but as
long as we have such a law a
woman is no better to take its con-
:sequences than is a man.
We will just give up in despair
our effort to find words that can
express our utter disgust at the
British government for coming to
the United States and advertising
for men to go over and fight her
battles.

disappearance of an official dog in

Josh Horne’s preference of a story

FORMER GENERAL MANAGER
OF COAST LINE IS DEAD
(Special to Daily Dispatch.)
Wilmington, Feb. 21.—W. N.
Royall, formerly general manager
of the Atlantic Coast Line, and who
had been sick for about one year,
died here today. He was born in
Petersburg, Va., and was 64 years
old. The funeral will be held in
Florence, S. C., tomorrow morning
at 11 o’clock. Mi*. Royall started
his successful railroad carecr at the
age of 17 years .as a clerk for the
old C. F. & Y. V. railroad. From
there he went to the Coast Line
and worked his way to general
manager of the entire system, from
which position he was forced to re
tire by ill health, being succeeded
several months ago by P. R. Al
bright.
The new graded school building
at Norlina was formerly opened to
the public Friday evening, and will
be occupied right away.
(Special to Daily Dispttch.)
Raleigh, Feb. 22.—It is the opin
ion of the State Board that every
town and organized community in
North Carolina can take some part
in the general or nation-wide Baby
Week campaign. The week that
has been set apart by the National
Children’s Bureau for this purpose
is March 4-11; however, towns and
communities may observe the week
at any subsequent time more con
venient during the spring. The ad
vantage of observing Baby Week in
the spring is to prepare against a
high infant death rate during the
summer months, as all educational
work done during Baby Week will
be fresh In the minds of the mothers
and helpful in keeping the baby well
during the summer.
A bulletin issued by the State
Board of Health local Baby Confer
ences as the most practical means of
observing Baby Week in North Caro
lina. It says that by bringing the
people of a community together,
especially the mothers, every after
noon for a week to discuss and hear
discussed the best means of raising
babies and a lower baby death rate
for any community.
As the work of Baby Week is
primarily educational, the bulletin
suggests that some woman’s organ
ization, as the woman’s club, civic
league, church society or a combina
tion of societies take the work in
carge, and that the local news
papers be asked to co-operate and
give the movement as much public
ity as possible. It suggests further
that the conferences be addressed by
physicians, nurses and baby special
ists, also that the pastors and church
workers be asked to co-operate.
The following program has been
suggested by the State Board of
Health as suitable and practicable
for the observance of Baby Week
in North Carolina:
Saturday: What the Community
Owes the Baby—-Clean Milk, Pure
Water, Fresh Aair and Screen
Homes. Mayor or citizen of town.
Sunday: The Church’s Responsi
bility of Tommorrow. Pastor or
Superintendent of Sunday School.
Monday: Baby Disease—Causes
and Prevention. Local physician.
Tuesday: How to Bathe, Clothe
and Feed the Baby. Nurse or baby
specialist.
Wednesday: Artificial Foods and
the Bottle-fed Baby. Local physician.
Thursday: Care of Baby Before
Birth. Physician or nurse.
Friday: | Food for the Growing
Child. Pljiysician or baby special
ist. / '
