THOSE MEAT SEIZURES Hickory is particularly fortunate in that politics of a party or partizan kind plays no part in the elections. Men are chosen for office regardless of party affiliations, and it has yet to be demonstrated that a Republican or a Democrat will make a better coun cilman because he holds certain opin ions in regard to the tariff. "" The action of the British prize court in condemning the larger part of the cargoes of four American rhips load ed with meat supplies destined for Copenhagen will call for a sharp pro test on the part of the Washington government, and we may expect an exchange of notes on the subject arid a claim for damages. Britain's con tention is that the shipments seized amounted to more than thirteen times the normal amount of goods going to this port from the United States, and that they must have been destined for the enemy. While the Record trusts that the American state department will be able to convince the London foreign office of the error of this seizure, it The Record is publishing today the protest of the Catawba county board of commissioners against the increase of fifteen per cent in the assessment of real property. The public is in terested in the matter. The Durham Sun will discontinue its Saturday afternoon issue for a time in order to give a Sunday morn ing paper a trial. Most all the after noon papers which have tried the ex periment of Sunday editions (have been disappointed in the result, but the Sun might prove the exception. While the Record's foreign adver tising matter is limited, still the pa per is getting a bit of outside busi ness. There is some class of adver tising that it will not handle. It does not want to be in partnership with the fakers. i8 SPEAKING OF THE is not unmindful of the contentions of the British. Their point is not with-: out some merit.

In the meantime, this country is not go ing to war over a few million dollars worth of meat. Not in Good Faith. New York World. The so-called German peace terms which have been announced "not offi cially but authoritatively" in Washing ton cannot be taken serious here or anywhere. They were not intended to be taken serious. Their clumsily con cealed purpose is to array the Jew ish sentiment of the world on the si&e of Germany, presumably in the be lief that rich and powerful Jewish banking houses will heretofore look with more favor upon German war loans. That is about all that can be said for these tentative proposals. The de mand for "the freedom of the seas" is meaningless, because the freedom of the seas is not an issue in this war ex cept on the part of neutrals resisting the lawlessness of belligerents. The seas were free before the war began. They will continue to be free after the war is over, and their freedom is not in the exclusive keeping of the nations that are now at war. Other countries have something to say about it, as Germany has just discovered in her dealings with the United States. As to freedom for Poland, that is matching a Berlin pledge against a Petrograd pledge for what either may be worth. Freedom for Poland will undoubtedly be one of the incidental conditions of peace, no matter to which side victory swings. It cannot be made a cardinal issue in the prelimi nary negotiations for peace. Whether either Germany or the Al lies manifest an honest desire for the friendly offices of the United States government in the way of mediation, it may be taken for granted that the President will act without hesitation. But proposals must be made in good faith. The suggestions must not be put forth to be rejected, in the expec tation of playing to the galleries. The government of the United States can not lend itself to such a game of false pretense, nor will there be any public Smiumclll 111 lavui ui cue guiciiuiiun o u action on the opera-bouffe proposals i q that have emanated from the German j g embassy in Washington. g The American people have had too g much experience with the wiles of pro fessional politicians not to recognize a palpable political fake when it is pa raded before them.

DOLLAR DAY a B B B B m B a B hursday, Oct. 7 TO The Daily Record CAN'T CRUSH FREEDOM What little freedom the Ruasia-n possessed at the outbreak of the war has been taken from them since. The proroguing of the duma because a coalition of liberals and progressives threatened to put through some need ed reforms is an instance of the arbi trary power of the beauroracy. But all is not lost in Russia. The peasants have formed the co-operative habit and the dwellers of Siberia have de veloped the greatest dairying indus try in the world. The Russians are working together and they are demo cratic in many ways. While the du ma per se is worth little to the coun try, its influence is not to be minim ized. Russian newspapers print the proceedings of the national body, and there are enough brave spirits in that broad land to keep the public reason ably well informed. The chief value of the duma is not in the reforms it is able to accomplish, but in the fact that it is planting the leaven in fer tile soil. In time Russia will be a democratic country, and an advance in that direction is being made today. Russian soldiers are learning from their enemies and the ideas they ab sorb will be carried home and impart ed to others. R. C. Minich, Advertising Manaerer.

Cartner has opened up a lunch counter and grocery store in the Coul ter building at Connelly Springs and the citizens here are glad to welcome him to their town. Mr. Cartner is a man with considerable business ex perience. A great many of the summer peo ple are staying over this season, as this is possibly the most delightful part of the year for summer visitors in this section. Thoroughly Acquainted. "I'm thoroughly ashamed of you. I saw you last night. Out with a per fect stranger, both drinking, and you don't even know his name." "I did know his name. He told me his name. Said his name was Nor val and that his father was in the sheep business." Judge. "Stop My Paper." Charlotte News. A fellow has just written the Colum bia State roasting it for not printing an article he had prepared on prohi bition. He asked that a bill be sent him and the paper stopped, conclud ing that he didn't think a paper which defended liquor should come into home. It is merely the inconsistency of this type which we care to notice. As a matter of fact, as the State says, his article had already been set and would have appeared just as soon as about two pages of prohibition commu nica which came in ahead of his were disposed of. But this gentle man, evidently ignorant of conditions which sometimes are encountered in every newspaper shop, wanted his piece printed at once if everything else had to be sidetracked, and when he didn't see it in print he wanted to stop the paper, concluding that the paper should not come into a home anyhow, although he had been willing to put an article in it. There are times in every newspaper shop when matter must be crowded out and publication delayed a day or I he advertisements pour in, ! the news pours in and the busy edi tors rack their brains trying to find "holes" in which to put all of the live items, but space is insufficient and ach day columns of good matter are i unavoidably crowded out. j The man who wrote the State in an- j ger because his article was not publish- ; ed at once is representative of a type which seems to refuse to recognize conditions which every newspaper must frequently face. j With only a few hours in which to ' work the marvel of those who go to the trouble to investigate the news- ; paper office is that so many pages are filled in so short a time; that so much j matter is printed and so little crowded j out. j But you would never get your "Stop j my paper type to recognize that fact May you prosper is our wish.

SELF'S CANDIDACY The Record is pleased with the re ception the candidacy of Mr. W. A. Self has received throughout the state. The Hickory gentleman is worthy the support of his friends, and if all the people in the state knew him, he would number them all as his friends. There is no need to set forth his qualifications before the public of this section. He is too well known, and any salutary intro duction would be like "damning him with faint praise." This section of the state should have the attorney gen eral for the next four years; Mr. Self is qualified by disposition and training for the position; he has done hard work for his party and the state, and he has not heretofore been rewarded for his good works. He is not basing his claims for the office on that score, however, but on his ability to perform the duties of attorney-general with credit to himself and the state. He ought to have the nomination.
