TUESDAY EVENING January 11, 1916 HARD TO CRACK. We were beginning to feel bad over .. .i 1 our outbrcaK uie otner uay on ruiai 4 V News credits when the Greensboro gently brought us around, and we felt worse Sunday after reading a long lecture in the Charlotte News though we must confess that we could not get away from the feeling that the News had not read our ar ticle carefully, but was shooting at us from a position made secure by public approval. Had we been inclined in the first place to lope along with the public, we would have shouted with the rest, "give it to us, boys," and never con sidered how it was to be done; but we thought we saw why rural credits legislation had been delayed for many years, and pointed out some of the difficulties congress must overcome before a suitable bill could be passed. Whether we were completely off or not is immaterial, because some form of rural credits legislation is com ing, and we hope it will be all its friends of which we are one hope for it. A subscriber of the Greensboro News living in the eastern part of the the Btate and took the occasionrdin state saw the Record's editorial and the comment of the Greensboro paper and took the occasion to write the RecorQ that it fas talking efense. The writer, we happen to know, is not a plutocrat, banker or farmer, but a man who is given to the study of public questions and who does a little thinking on his own account. The Record wants congress to pass a rural credits bill that will be ac ceptable to that great class for which it is intended, and the Record wants the farmers to make the most of it If it were an easy matter to provide rural credits, however, one may be sure that the scores of representatives with a large constituency of farmers would have found the way to pro vide it earlier. It happens to be a rather knotty problem, we inferred, and infer now. THE ROW IN WAKE We see that the correspondents are speculating on the motives of Mr. II Norris, solicitor of the superior court, 'for criticising the officers "of Wake county for alleged extravagance in the employment of useless depu ties and so on. Mr. Norris has long had his eye on the seat now occu pied in the national house of repre sentatives by the Hon. Edward W Pou, and this fact is known by the newspaper men and public down that way, and some of them think he has fired a preliminary gun. The Record does not know whether Solicitor Norris will be a candidate for congress or not, but it does know that a fight on the crowd that is oc cupying the magnificent new court house in Wake county is not calcu lated to help his cause. The rami hcations of politics are many, and those in Wake county are more nu merous than in any other county in the world, not barrng Buncombe, New Hanover and Mecklenburg. Mr. Nor ris is not expecting to get the nomi nation for congress by making the leaders of the two Wake county fac tions sore at him. That is obvious. What the solicitor is trying to do, however, is to reduce the cost of ad ministration in the hope that the Re publicans, who have been getting - stronger in the county year by year, will not get control of Wake. Be it remembered that there have been a serfes of bitlter contests in Wake county in the last ten years, that there have been charged of rascality and other things, and that all the time the Republican vote, in spite of miser able leadership, has been growing. A few strong leaders ton the Repub lican side m'ght turn the trick. Solicitor Norris is aware of this fact, and he would have a house clean ing by the party in power. At least that is our guess. The Winston-Salem Journal ex presses surprise over the fact that former Governor Kitchin would op pose the child labor bill pending in congress. lie was one of the last men we would have picked. Whenever u Record subscriber comes in and tells the cashier that he could not do without the paper, we know he is the king. U4UUI,I-,' " HAVE TO LOOK AHEAD Germany -counted on internal dis sensions in the British empire to count more than ten army corps, but it is doubtfuh if the -German-pnerfri staff, with its facilities for procur ing information from all the nations, ever dreamed that the British would prove as inefficient in leadership-as they have thus far. "It is pertinent to say at tn5s pomt, that if Germany has been unable to win in the face ol all the known mistakes of the British leaders, her chances of - triumph now have been reduced to nil. The withdrawal of the 'Dardanelles troops is the last ' chapter in Eng land's l"st of tragedies. A brilliant conception; the Dardanelles campaign failed for lack of cooperation between tho armv and navy. -Military critics ion? ago sd both should have struck at the same time they " struck sep- ratsly. Regardless of this, however, tho camocfen came near being a sue cess but its failure will always be a bitter cup lor englishmen. , But the Britisners are clinging on. ; Eventually they will have the best I leaders in front and they will win. ! That'fc' the hat off the Writish . people. Freemen always squabble, but they don't give up. If Solicitor Norris will keep up the fight in Wake county, he might be suc cessful in having them dispense with the county treasurer and his clerk. iTViof wnnU aava onmet.himy like $5.- 1 I a year. Every county could let the -- , . j banks do their bookkeeping for them, and our observation is that the banks don't employ bookkeepers because they are good vote-getters. There are about a dozen counties getting along famously without digging down into their pockets for the salaries of treasurers, and 100 counties could do likewise. Hickory pastors are in demand. The Rev. J. D. Harte has just refused a call to Lexington and the Rev. S. B. Stroup, rector of the Church of the Ascension, recently has been tendered a fine charge in Chattanooga. The Record would hate to see Mr. Stroup oave Hickory for more reasons than one, chief of which is that he is in as good a community as could be found anywhere and that he is adding to the strength of his church. Record readers are expected to as sume that we do not know any more about the- world war than they do. Kumnmnnmniiiinmimimititimmttt PRESS COMMENT mimmnnmiinnumnntinmnttmmm Roosevelt is not Muzzled. Brooklyn Eagle. Theodore Roosevelt is an American citizen, unhyphenated, with a full right to express himself on any pub lie question, tie can speak at a luncheon from which reporters are excluded, or at a mass meeting to which reporters re invited, as force fully and as fearlessly as any man we know of. The Defense society lunch eon was secret. But any one who imagines that a Roosevelt speech can be kept 'within four -walls has another guess coming to him. The colonel favors the defense so ciety programme of 48 dreadnoughts, outside of an adequate number of bat tleship cruisers, destroyers, sea-going submarines, colliers, etc. He also fa vors a regular army of 245,000 men with a reserve of 2,000,000. He is for the national guard under national control and aerainst a big force of "continentals." He sees a real so ciological advantage in "getting Vin cent Astor and the man from Roose velt street under the same dog tent to be trained for military service." He says each man would learn some thing from the other, and both would be better off." At least that is what he is quoted as saying. It is the same idea that the Germans and the French have, an idea that Americans have never accepted. Col. Roosevelt is not an irrespon sible person. ' But at present he is a nonresponsible person. The people have put their interests into the hands of Woodrow Wilson. They trust Wil son. Perhaps it would be better if all non-responsible persons were to re frain from utterances, but this par ticular sort of self-restraint is never expected from the sage of Sagamore hill. HOW GERMAN EMPLOYES ARE GIVEN PROTECTION. (By Associated Press.) Berlin. Jan. 11. In manv wavs at least the German Working man or em ploye of any kind receives the most perfect protection from his paternal government of any similar person in the world. I he following case, just decided, is illustrative of the right of German employes-and of the safe guards thrown around them. A soldier, wounded in the war. was invalided home and discharged. Pres ently he received a position as a ho tel porter. He" had hardlv' held the job a fortnight, however, when he was missed one day just as a guest arrived. -A' clerk-showed the arrival to a room, but was astonished as he opened the door to find the missing porter, fully clothed and with verv muddy boots, badly under the influ ence of ' liquor, lying on the guest's bad. The hotel proprietor summarilv dis missed the porter. The discharged employe, sued under the law which specifies that notice must be given ex-! cept in certain well-defined cases. The ! court upheld -the porter's claim and awarded his back pay of 167 marks, on the following grounds: The fluence of liquor: was due in part to his earlier wounds. -His act in Ivine- KViW' o o ui i viiucA w wie in- down on the guest's bed was caused by his intoxication. Therefore it was attributed to the wounds and excusa ble. One case of drunkenness was not sufficient to warrant summary dis missal, unless the employe in advance had been snecificallv warned not to visit saloons which was not the case with the soldier-porter. In addition he had not been hired on. probation and therefore was entitled to full .notice before being dismissed.

In olden times it was the great - rendezvous ; for wild foxes r and the happy meeting place for all lovers of fox racing sports of that day. Several hundred: of fine races and happy hours were enjoyed by the good; old noble citizens of that time, but they have about all gone to their reward. And now that the native foxes were extinct in that country, some of the descendants of these . good old men chock full of the spirit and enthusi asm of these forefathers, have leased nosted and protected this famous old mountain from ail outside hunt mg, and stocKed it with imported foxes which they feed, love, pet and protect, from all sides of the moun tain this protected territory is alive with foxes. It's a thing of beauty and a joy forever to the boysl but notwithstanding all this, every sweet has life mtter Occasionally 3ome outsider, overcome by the temp tation, steps in and makes trouble for the foxes and a mighty rattling of dry bones with the protectors. And now so much for all that. In this kingdom was one big old wise brave fox that has made many all night races over and around the mountain for the king and his dogs but this brave old fox began to find out that some of the King's old dogs were being replaced with younger faster and longer winded dogs that might be dangerous to him. So he began to take notice and went away back and sat down and began to reas on unto himself, and finally this brave old fox. beine strong and fortified with the experience of the King's dogs, decided that he could face and brave all the dangers outside the king dom and that he would depart into a far country. But he could not go to Germany nor to France, nor to any place in Europe, so he decided to leave the kingdom of Bakers Mountain but not too far that in case of danger he could get back into the kingdom and to the rock-cliff known as the chicken devil's den the rock, that protects in time of a storm, the rock from which no fox has ever been taken. So this brave and courageous old fox knew of a land that flowed, with milk and honey, alive with fat birds and rabbits, good, clever possum does, good people, school houses churches, sparkling rivers and every thing that was grand and picturesque, So about one year ago he bade fare, well to the king, king's dogs and the whole kingdom of Baker's Mountain and soon entered and explored the ned land of promise, and found peace and plenty; yea, more than he expected, bo he lived In peace and happiness and did not have to spend his time and strength in riotous fun ning, but soon had more strength laid up in his bones to brave any danger that might befall him in the new country. Thus things were go ing good until some bird hunters came into this paradise from afar off a great city called "the City of Hick ory, but finding no birds and seeing fox tracks and thinking the fox had eaten the birds, so much coveted by them they went to a telephone and called some fox hunters in this great city of Hickory, and lo and behold in one hour's time the fox was met on his way to church, near the spring branch by what seemed to him hundred of the biggest mouthed fastest running fox killing city dogs on earth; but with full confidence in his bigness of strength and experience with the king's dogs he will now show these city chaps a thing or two. So on he ran,-the further he got and on they came like a mighty cyclone from hill to hill, from river to river; on they came, faster and faster and on they came nearer and nearer hour by hour, until the the brave old fox could hear his awtul doom in tht cry of Rook, Dick. Rex. Bill. Kate. Nell, Jude, Jack, Sing, Fleet, Bell, and even old grandfather Drum s voice was be. ginning to sound dangerous and on they came like a projectile shot from a German gun, and now with lost con fidence in his power and his tongue parched and hanging out, and feet sore and his beautiful tail that stood so bushy in the air beginning to droop a last faint hope, he thought of the old protected kingdom and King John and, like the prodigal son, he would return to his lord and master, and with his strength almost gone in riotous running, he made for the kingdom and the rock that shelters in the time of danger. On they went faster and faster, nearer and nearer into the kingdom at last and around the mountain and over the mountain and under the rock the only pro tection on earth irom such fast run ning, fox-killing dogs. In safety he is now reoosine- un. der the rock that shelters in time of danger the devil's den and Raker's Mountain now under the protection of xving John, who will kill the fatted calf and go forthwith veal steak and chicken salad to feed the hungriest fox and the tiredest fov and lox that ever came down the pike and the only fox that ever outrun tho city dogs.
