FRIDAY. DEC. 7. 1D17 iin: cam: of nokris L. J. Norris, a Raleigh white man, win ewnvieted in Wi'ke county su perior court in 1 L 1 1 of the murder ot' J. 1J. Diisett, and sentenced to -0 years in the penitentiary. The evidence showed that both Norris and Uissett were about as disreputable as men ever become and the killing occurred under cir eumstances that would not do to print. Norris drew a 20-year sentence. The only favorable circumstance in the man's favor was that the fel low killed was about as sorry as the murderer. Doubt has now arisen as to wheth er Norris killed Bissett. At the time of the murder and trial, there was no doubt in the jury's mind. And since that time nothing has oc curred to change that doubt. Yet the solicitor who tried the case and an attorney who prosecuted it askea the governor to issue a pardon. The prison superintendent said Norris had made a good prisoner. Nobody else cared about it. If the evidence was to be believed, Norris deserved at least 20 years under general principles, though he was convicted specifically of murder in tho second degree. MEANS HAD SNAPS- Persons who from day to day have followed their prosaic paths should get in touch with Gaston B. Means and be shown how much poetry there re ally is in life. Here is a young fellow possessed of reasonably good looks and a smart mind who is able to make $10,000 a year managing the Chicago oflices of a big textile con cern and writing trade articles, who is ably to lay this fat salary aside and make a contract with W. J. Burns to serve the Hamburg-American line as its representative to watch the allies, who is onto many of tho Cerman plots, and who finally quits tho detective business, presu mably to devote all of his time to the business afl'airs of Mrs. Maude A. King, wealthy widow. Things broke right for Mean3. The evidence so far shows that he was taking no chances prior to a certain night that was thought good for target practice. Writing in Collier's Weekly, Wil liam Allen White voices the belief of American and British naval offi cers that the Germans will attempt to drop bombs on the eastern sea board of the United States. No military damage could be done, they say, but the Germans believe that people living on the seaboard would set up a howl for the return of the American war vessels to this side of tho Atlantic, and if this was done, Germany would bo given better op portunity to sink ships. Mr. White warns the American people of such an attempt arid he tells them to remember that the military consid erations must have precedence. The war might ba brought to the United States. The explosion at Halifax, Nova Scotia, with tho consequent loss of many lives, the injury of thousands of persons and the great destruction of property, is one of those horrible oc currences which are to be expected in the course of war. There is no evidence that tho collision could have been avoided and the blame may never bo placed. It is a treg edy that cannot be helped, but it will make ship commanders more careful in future, even assuming that the utmost earc was exercised in tho handling of both vessels involved. Italians are said to have been heartened by the address of the president of the United States, but reports from the northern front are not so encouraging. Governors should not have the pardoning power. This weapon should bo taken away from them, because they hurt themselves ana the state with it. Those Russian troops who are co operating with the lintish m tne i i t near east have not nan an opyor tunitv to become contaminated. MR. GWIN'S CONFESSION To the Editor of the Record: Since I have questioned the var ueitv of the Record and have found that I was in error, I want to clear; your paper of this implication, it .-terns that Charley Bagby sat up nil niirht to iret to the dike at ti a. m. This question was his wife and she has not denied vet- . . . . These facts were developed in my , AMERICAN SAILORS TODAY Nautical Gazette. We must improve the conditions of sea life so that a man will be able to follow the sea without losing his self-respect. The need of this absolute necessity. (From a speech of Representative John J. Fitzgeralu. Wie do not know whether con gressman Fitzgerald has . ever fol lowed the sea, or is familiar with anw aspects of the seamen's life, but we are certain that he has cast a slur upon the seafjnring profes sion when he suggests that, under present conditions, a man loses his self-respect when he seeks his liv ing on shipboard. The best proot of this are the masters and mates who are sailing out of this port every day, not knowing whether or not they will become the victim of a torpedo. All of these men start ed life in the forecastle and came through to the top, and if they had lost their self-respect in the process they would surely be content to stay on shore, where the element of dan ger is lading and the rewards are greater. And most of these cour ageous and self-respecting men liv ed in the forecastle when it was a much fouler place than it is today. To be sure, there is much room for improvement on shipboards, but living conditions are becoming bet ter every year, as any honest sea man will testify. Fear of the loss of their self respect has not been the factor which deterred young Americans from following the sea in recent years. Before the war we had virtually ceased to be a sea Taring people. American boys were better paid on shore, hence they preferred to remain there, and, moreover, they disliked the rigid discipline which is more essential on ship board than anywhere else But all that is changing rapidly. Our young men fine types of Amer icans ,-from every part of the country are going to sea in large numbers, both in the merchant ser vice and in the navy, and the life will make better men of them.
