MONDAY EVENING
November 29, 1915.
NO DISCRIMINATION
Nixon S. Plummer, Washington cor
respondent of the Charlotte Observer,
must have thrown a scare into the
rank3 of North Carolina shippers to
day by sending out a story to the
effect that freight rates in North
Carolina shortly will be increased to
comply with the fourth section of the
interstate commerce act. When the
adjustments were made two years ago
the interstate commerce commission
agreed to the violation of the long
and short haul clause in minor in
stances in order that North Carolina
might enjoy freight rates that would
remove the jobbers from the destruc
tive competition of Virginia dealers.
Inasmuch as the freight in question
comes through North Carolina, it
was held by the interstate commerce
commission that reductions could be
granted.
The corporation commission and the
general assembly and governor had
the question up with the railroads for
nearly a year before any action was
taken but the Southern Railway and
the other carriers agreed to substan
tial reductions and the interstate com
merce commission ratified the agree
ment. Virginia cities protested and
the question of reducing local rates
from Virginia into North Carolina is
now before the federal body.
The Record would not be surprised
if the railroads were allowed to charge
higher rates, but it would be much
surprised if the interstate commerce
commission should authorize thsm to
put on the old rates. That would
leave North Carolina where it was
when the agitation began.
The Record feels confident that the
old discriminatory rates will never be
established again. We happen to
know that the interstate commerce
comm'ssion was acquainted with ev
ery step taken by the North Carolina
commion and the railroads, and
that the nav rates v. era approved by
the fe-cr;d commission lcrg before
the order authorizing them was writ
ten. PSYCHOLOGY AND OTHER ELE
MENTS If the Raleigh Times cares to type
write any more entertaining editorials
on the ''Psychology of the Fumble,"
with a particular game in mind, it
might also include cause and effect.
For example, the removal of center
and a guard and two half-backs might
be the cause for so weakening the
primary and secondary offense that
the opposite line could charge through
the substitutes and thereby force the
center handling the ball to make a
bad delivery or force the receiver to
exercise undue haste in getting away.
The player carrying the ball must take
into consideration the condition of his
line; he is even forced to speed up
to keep from being downed in his
tracks by tho charging opponents. If
Colonel Gray had analyzed this par
ticular situation, he might have im
proved the matter of uis ed.torial,
though not the form. The es
teemed Associated Press' account
explained the situation without bias;
that report, by the way, being one of
the best we ever read of a football
game.
HICKORY MARKETS BEST
The Hickory cotton market's it will
be observed by scanning Record quo
tations, is at the top of the list of
southern markets, and cotton farm
firs probably are noting this fact. The
(quotations are secured daily from the
A. A. Shuford mill office in this city,
:and are just exactly what Mr. Shuford
is paying the day they are published.
The Hickory wheat market also is
corrected daily by the Catawba Milling
Company, and farmers can secure
1.25 a bushel for their wheat when
tKs quotation is published in the Re
cord. The farmers of this section, if they
are subscribers to the Record, will
have a good idea of the markets of
the country every day. There is no
better market town in the state than
Hickory, and producers need not wor
ry about sending their output to other
;places.
They will do well to pay close at
tention to the Hickory markets, now
that cotton and wheat have begun
climbing, and the best way to keep
posted is to consult the Record.
TWO GOOD ORDINANCES
The efforts of city council to elimi
nate hog-perfe from the residence sec
tion of the city certainly the more
thickly settled part should meet with
approval of citizens generally. The
hog-pen is a nuisance that is almost
intolerable in. summer and nauseating
almost all the time. The keep-to-the-right
ordinance also will be worth
while, as it will help to prevent acci
dents. The city is large enough se
riously to consider traffic regulations
and to take cognizance of the dangers
to which pedestrians are exposed
These are two good ordinances.
WRECK BROUGHT HOME
As long as humans err and that
will be as long as the world stands
accidents will occur, but that wreck at
Salisbury, brought on by a mistake of
the trainmen is one of the most dis
tressing of recent years. In Hickory
chief interest was felt in Mr. O. Max
Gardner of Shelby, who is well known
and liked here, and who is popular
throughout the state. Although re
ports are not all encouraging, the Re
cord sincerely hopes that Mr. Gardner
will be restored to his family and
friends. He is a young man possess
ing unusual talents, and was devoting
them to his state.
In commenting on the purchase of
a porker by the Harmony high school
in Iredell county, bought by five-cent
subscriptions by each pupil, and fed
from the scraps from the lunch
baskets, the University News Letter
observes that "this comes mighty near
making a silk purse out of a sow's
ear.
Which is neatly said.
We suppose it is understood that
the Democrats will retain the tax on
raw sugar, amounting to some $60,
000,000 a year. Secretary McAdoo
talked as if this were decided upon.
The tax should be retained, as the war
has proved the need of a domestic
crop of sugar.
With cotton bringing twelve cents
on the Hickory market and eggs sell
ing for thirty cents a dozen retail,
the only people who can talk hard
times are the persons who have to
buy them. Our farmer friends should
worry.
If that European war could be end
ed speedily, all the countries involved
would be immeasurably better off
than if it drags on for a year or more,
but none of them are able to see it
that way.
Secretary McAdoo's figures show
that the treasury is not in such a bad
fix, after' all, and that the country
can well afford to spend some addition
al money to prevent some warlike ene
my from levying on us some time.
And nobody has been mean enough
to suggest that the offending ticket
agent punched Dr. Clark's ticket Ut
Jamestown instead of Greensboro
through force of habit. ,v : '
The news from Salisbury toda',
must give all of Senator Gardner'
.r ends cause for rejoicing. He is
making a ood fight and will win
yet.
If there was just some way of wip
ing Turkey off the map, we should,
worry.
We can pay more attention to the
serious things of life now that the
Jootball season is over.
And what has become of that old
fashioned man who used to keep Oys
ter Bay on the map?
Red Cross Christmas seals are
small, but they can help in a large
work.
We do not know why cotton advanc-
es
out we are verv edad mst the
same.
Jf we had any special request to
make, it would be that we be saved
from making triors.
Yoshihito is having a big time be
ing crowned, all right.
Indeed, THIS is the climate.
Getting Even
Mr. Bryan, America's ex-secretary
of state, has told a story of how one of
h;s political enemies got even with
him. There was a mass meeting out
in Nebraska at which Mr. Bryan was
to speak, and which wa3 presided over
by a man with whom he had crossed
swords several times. There was a
real feud on between the two, and
when Mr. Bryan ascended the plat
form the persiding officer, ex-Governor
Thayer of Nebraska, naid no atten
tion to him.
At last it came time to introduce
Bryan, and the chairman walked over
to him and inquired:
"What is your name, please?"
'William Jennings Bryan. '
i , ' J ' oaiu "ie cnair

Bryan, sing or speak ?" London Tit

."Well, sor," replied Moriarty, "last

s a thorough scholar devoting his
great talents to the cause of Chris
tianity. Interest in the services will
grow as the Hickory public comes out
.o hear the visiting preacher.
Yesterday morning Doctor Robert
son preached on "Abraham, the He
orew." Hebrew, he said, was a nick--iame,
meaning come across or go ov
2r. Abraham went from Babylon to
x strange land, but he wore his d.s
;inctive dress, showing that he was a
oeliever in God. The worshipers of
dols wanted him to change, and one
jf his old friends told him that he
,vas being cheated in trades because
of his dress, but Abraham would not
ion the cloak of Baal and other idols.
Even as Abraham's dress manv
thousands of years ago was the sym
bol of his religion, so is the dress to
day the symbol of one's belief. The
Turks wear the fez, distinctive of
their worship.
Doctor Robertson pointed out the
marks of a Christian, insisting that
dress in this day and time is the
chief characteristic. He wanted to
Know what kind of dress his auditors
were traveling to the grave with ?
The congregations of the Baptist
and Reformed churches attended the
service last night.

THAT CHICAGO BABY
Moral to Be Drawn From Allowing
Nature to Take Its Course,
Raleigh, Nov. 29. The state board
of healtn says:
Allowing the Chicago aby to die
hag created a storm of rotests from
a large , class of humanitarians who
believe' that human life is sacred and
tUhC i hlia should have been givei.
h-h4 d&ctor tohQ silo wed nature io take
t3 course- .ana wno penevea it wa.
,ght to lei'the defect:ve baby die tc
,ave it from future misery and a life
jf suffering has been zealously com
:n ended by others for his service tc
humanity in saving society a mental
and physical, "and' probably a moral.
Jef ectiye. ' ' """ "
Probably no other case has called
for so much criticism, both fayorable
and unfavorable. It has made people
think. People who never before stop
pa4 to consider what are the rights
of a -baby- pr what the possibilities are
vhat are' conceUd in such a helpless
bit of human, ffesh, jigiijy exercised
Lhemselves over this incident.
Now if ail the energy, the emotion
and sentiment that has been stirred
up. over the Chicago baby could be
turned itQ nractical channels of ser
vice to C&fldJivvd end youn life, then
the Chicago 'baby 3 lif death has
not been in vain, If only & fw of
the theories so generously and vehein
sntly expressed could put to work
and be made of practical service, the
living babies of today would be life
long debtors to the Chicago baby.
ror those who consider a great
wrong has been done and that humani
ty has been sinned against in this
case, there is a wide field for thought
and usefulness. Why not begin ap
plying here and now the ounce of
prevention that will prevent scores
and score" of such cases from ever
happening Better .education of the
present and future fathers and moth
ers in matters of health and chihj hy
giene would undoubtedly work wond
ers along this line. There are many
defective bakies living today needing
attention ana service, here are dis
eased and subnormal cbl'ldYen whose
defects could be easily corrected' but
lor the rrjee. There are babies dy
ing daily for -want of proper care and
feeding and scores are born defec
tive for lack of parental ca. That
these conditions exist and continue
to exist are crimes against baby
hood and humanity that indeed need
protesting against.
