Unemployment, which like the suffrage and the Irish most difficult subjects the government j had to deal with is shown by an: official chart just issued by the gov-i eminent board of trade to have now, 1 1 - nm x i t-t a. t i i alien on w uio vanisning point., in 1908 the unemployed represented be tween 9 and 10 per cent of the work ing population. In 1909 it was be tween 8 and 9 per cent There were the years of labor agitation which led to the law for government in surance of the unemployed. Up to the time the war began, the unem- nlnvorl b vprn cprl -from d tn K nr ppnt i - " o - t - of the population, from 190'J to 1915.) o; At r i il . ii. i loince vne opening oi ine war tne percentage of unemployed has run steadily down 'The official chart shows it was down to 2 per cent four months after the war started.

MONEY to seize on: that whereas, we are in the habit of thinking of money as doing all the talking, the truth is that character and ability count more today than ever counted before. lAConey is the most plentiful thing in existence, even though it remains with one only a few minutes. Men tf ability and character, men who are trained to manage affairs, wheth er large or small, are more to bo de sired than capital. A Hickory business man in a con versation said to us the other day that what Hickory business men desired was not outside capital so much as competent men to run new enterpris ea We were speaking of manufac turing enterprises for Hickory, and this business man said there was plenty of capital here ready for in vestment the minute the right man could be found to manage the busin ess. This ought to act as a tonic to young men who imagine that there is little place in the present scheme of things unless one is loaded down with money. Men had rather risk a man with character every time than a man with money and no experience. This is a reduction of fiftv ner cent since last year, and a much greater reduction since the war began. NEWTON IS READY iNewton business men have named a committee to confer with the Hick ory Chamber of commerce and people in the country in regard to the pro posed bond issue for good roads. The Newton correspondent of the Greens boro News says that no opposition has developed and as it is proposed to appoint a nonpartizan commission to handle the funds, none is expected The proposition is to issue about! $500,000 in bonds and to improve ev-. ery public road in the county. Ev-' erybody interested in the matter de-. sires simply that the roads be kept in repair and there is little doubt that provision will be made on do ing this. (Not having a battery of linotypes, a dozen assistants and a big press, we are compelled to rely on Record friends to phone in news items. Ev ery item will be appreciated, too. 12 in LITTLE OLD-FASHIONED Statesville Landmark. Three bovs aired 8. 10 and years were before Judge Shaw Buncombe superior court at Ashe ville this week for storebreaking and larceny. IThe 10-year-old was sent home with his father and the others were sent to the Jackson Training School at Concord. Jn admonishing the boys, Judge Shaw declared that "improper conditions in the home and laxity of home training is the cause of these babies being in court. When I was a boy, a good thrashing would have been given, and it usual ly proved a' cure." Right, Judge Shaw, but rather out of date.

(By Associated Press.) iChristiana, Norway, Jan. 22. A significant political upheaval is indi cated by the remarkable Socialist erain in the municipal elections in Christiana this month. For- the last sixteen years the Norwegian capital has been governed by the Conservative iartv. but at the elec tions just concluded the Socialists won 42 out of the 84 seats on the aldermanic board, leaving the Con servaties 37 and the Radicals 5. The Radical members are known to be ir resoncilable to casting their votes for a conservative mayor and it is there fore pre-determined that the Social ists will forthwith elect one of their representatives for mayor. 'The growth of the Socialist vote all over Norway has been marked in re cent years since suffrage was exten ded to every man and woman over twenty-five years of age. In the last state election, a vear acn. f.ViA Kn. cialists mustered 40 per cent of the voters. une ol tne reasons ior the sjains has been the hierh cost of liu-- ! ing, and many of the middle class people whose wages have not increas ed proportionately have gone to the Socialist platform, which would have liie government take charge of trade in liie most necessary articles, such as xoou ana iuei by means of muni ciual stores where evervt.Viinc wrmM be sold at cost. Something has al ready oeen clone along these lines, in the matter of inmorts of flour nH sugar and the sale of fuel potatoes, mine ana fish; but the Socialists scheme would carry the government hclu much further, even to hnilHiTior dwellings for the poor and middle ciass workers, who are suffering for want of houses, or from the exorbi tant rent now charged for even the poorest kind of rooms.
