JUSTICE FOR THE CITIES.
Last week we attempted t
show the iriu?tiee which isbeinr
accorded the cities of North Car
olina, by reason of appropriating
fines and penalties to t! e srenf-ra
school fund which is beirg co!
iected by the cities of the siate
We hope that the press of the
state will take this matter up be
fore the convening: of the extr
session of the legislature in Sep
tember and expose the injustic
which the Constitutional Com
mittee failed to correct in mak
ing up its report to the General
Assembly- Under the heading
"Justice for the cities" we tak'
the following editorial from th*
Charlotte Chronicle of the 24th:
" It is fortunate that the Consti
tutional Commission has com
. pleted its work before the session
of the State Municipal Associa
tion, which next week at
Wrightsville. Tne sub-committee
on taxation recommended an
amendment that would end the
paying into county educations
funds by the cities of the S ate
all fines collected in city courts.
When "the full commission met,
however, it refused to recom
mend this aineniment to tht
Legislature, which will meet
September 24.
" The Constitutional Commission
was appointed to investi ate all
proposed or needed amendments
and to submit its recomm nda
tions and report to the L gisla
ture. Then the Legislatuie wil
accept and approve su.'h cf the
Commission's recomm nditions
as it may see fit to. Thus
members of the State Municipal
Association have ample time to
discuss the matter and make
plans for pushing the matter be
fore the General Assembly. The
Chronicle has knowledge that a
number of amendments not rec
* ommended by the Constitutional
Commission will be offered and
advocated in the General As
sembly and it may be pretty safe
ly presumed that some of the
amendments recommended wi?!
be refused by the Legislature,
while the people stiil are to pass
upon them. The cities of the
State, represented by the St it*
Municipal Association, are not
going to tamelv s ibmit to the in
justice of the present situation
The least that could be don
would be to remove the unjust
clause from the constitution, ana
leave it within the option ane
pleasure of the Legislature.
"We cannot see how any fai
minded person can argue that
city which must necessarily sup
port art expensive police depart
men and a city court should b
required to turn the fines fron
the defendants in that court ove
to the educational funds of th« ;
county. It is argued that tin
city courts have soma of then
patrons furnished by the county
outside the city. This doe 3 nor
alter the fact that the cities have
to bear the expense of arresting
those very fellows, keeping them
confined and protecting the pub
lic against them just as it does
in the case of police court patron?
from the city. We believe that
if the cities make the right sort
of a fight before the Legislature
and conduct a strenuous cam
paign before that body meets
the desired amendment can be
secured."
PRESIDENT WILSON'S NEGRO
APPOINTMENT.
The Democrat has all the time
been a staunch supporter of
President Wilson and has in
every way attempted to hold up
the hands of those who have
thus far guided the administra
tion policy. The appointment of
Adam E. Patterson a negro of
Muscogee, Okl i. to the position
of Register of the Treasury is an
act, however, which we believe
will find little commendation
among those who were most in
strumental in placing Mr. Wil
son at the head of the govern*
ment. The elimination of the
negro from political jobs las
long been the dream of Southern
Democrats and many Southern
Republicans, and when after the
victory of last November which
v made a president of Mr. Wilson,
we were about to feel ourselves
secure in the fulfilment of our I
hopes, we find Mr. Wilson yield
ing to some impulse which we
did not believe he possessed and
appointing an Oklahoma negro
to the position of Register of the
j Treasury. White supremacy has
I always been a controlling im
pulse and a cardinal principle in
r the creed of the Democratic
party, and yet to use Mr. Wil
son's oft repeated phrase; "As
head of the party." he has seen
fit to trample upon this creed by
appointing a negro to a position
of authority over white men and
white women. Happily this ap
pointment will have to be con
iirmed by the Senate before Mr.
Nigger" can assume, his position
ot superior authority. Webop
that there will be enough REAL
: EAiO RACY in ihe Senate i
block this appointment.
IDEAL OF CITIZENSHIP.
From a bulletin issued by the
U lited States Bureau of Educa
t on, we take the following state
ment of an ideal as formulated
>v the Georgia Club of the St •*»
Normal School at Athens Geo
4:la.
"The Georgia Club holds as an
ideal the teacher who reads and
thinks, observes and serves his
1 community far beyond the walls
of his school room; who claims
1 and exercises part and lot in the
life of his community as a citizen
as well as teacher; who owns his
. his home, drives his trnt pegs
d wll deep, and tb
- task of community unketp an ;
upbuilding, The Georgia Club
* ;hinks that his profession ough
not to disqualify him for knowing
t intelligently and thinking syrn
- atheticaily, keenly and wise'y
1 upon the problems of community
: 1 fe."
While expressed for the pur.
pose of giving the Club's ideal (f
1 teacher, it serves another and
till greater purpose by painting
in words an ideal to which every
citizen should aspire and attempt
( to attain. Nothing is so great
1 an aid to community life as the
; occasional forgetting and sacri
ficing of our personal interest- 1
for the good of the community
, as a whole. Personal success
; has a tendency to saturate one
with a bigoted spirit of inde
-1 pendence and such a one- is in
) i ciined to forget the contribution
. that his community made in the
> creation of this success, An oc
-1 casional forgetting of selfish in
terests is both good and whole
[ some, and the success of the de
. veloping of community life is
very often in proportion to the
? frequency with which individuals
' abandon selfishness. All of U3
j vould do well in sacrificing a
? day occasionally that we may
ike part in putting the house of
I tie community "in order."
Must Collect the License.
[ Raleigh, July 24.—State Treas
, -rer Lacy today sent out notiti
, nations to the sheriffs of the

Th i state la w is very explicit
saying tnat manufacturers of au
tomobiles, which are sold in
Nort 1 Carolina must pay a li

■ he stite will issue to each agent
f n the state a duplicate licens»
for $5. A number of automobile
, ompanies are registering a bit

. it to be unconstitutional.
5 One company sent a lawye»
f iere from New York express!
I ,0 see the state treasurer about
1 this matter. The lawyer cot):
. tended just as a number of com
panies extend that the license
5 tax law is unconstitutional and
, ind could not be enforced in the

ifacture is in another state Tffe:
j reasurer replied that while the
I tax might be unconstitutional yet
:he law is explicit. The lawyer

, statement and decided that the
aw is so carefully drawn that

paid the five hundred dollars li
cense tax and went away smil
