ENGLAND HAS BEATEN US Because Massachusetts has been a leader in education,' a pre-eminent leader in thrift, and has set the world an example in local?self -government: . hcause of these three things she has become and has long been rich and powerful, as I have said, even with out natural advantages. ' . There was a. boastfulness about it that I didn't like, but I .had to acknowledge in say heart that he was telling the Lord's truth in the main when a . prominent" New Englander said to me "In natural resources the South has - us beaten utterly beyond compari-son-!-infinitely richer- in soils, cli mate, mines, and general resources but our section has beaten : yours simply by the thrift and enterprise and enterprise of our people." - ; Of course, the protective tariff has helped commercial New England at ' the expense of the agricultural South and New England -was fortunately tree from the ravages of war, that so lang handicapped our Southern conn- - try, - but in stite of these things our .greater natural resourcss ought to bave enabled us to beat New Eng land, any how. But we haven't. In faet, instead of beating her, we have hardly more than half caught up witb her. The new United States Government census volumes on "Wealth, Debt and Taxation" remind me that the per capita, wealth ; In JOassachusetta is $1,805, whereas in North Carolina it is $794; in South ' Carolina, $869; in Georgia, $883; Alabama, $W; Mississippi, $726; aud Tennessee, 864. v Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas xnake a better showing than the states just menuonea tnrougn usia Jioma . alone among the Southern ttes" reaches the '.; Massachusett's figures for per capita wealth.

He discussed with the -President the ways and means of raiaia-theddi-tional revenue to enlarge the army and navy. He said upon leaving the "White House, that the .'people will pay it. ' It is believed that many other leading Democrats who have been lukewarm as the the preparedness program will go with the President when the time comes." WHAT CRYING LITTLE. RE YOU ABOUT.

EVER BUILT Nos. 43 and 44, by Which They Are . Now Called, Will- Represent the Last Word in If aval Architecture. Washington, Nov. 19. The two new superdreadnoughts . authorized by Congress, bids for which were let today by the navy department,' will represent-the last word in naval ar chitecture Since the war has brought no ves sels of this class into conflict, no radical departure in construction is I-lanued as no definite lessons have been learned. The great difference Tietween the two new ships, Nos. 43 and 44 until names for them are chosen and their immediate prede cessors now building, will lie in ad ditional hull v protection against tor pedo attack. The nature . of those safeguards has not been revealed ex cept to builders but they are gen erally understood to consitof great er sub-division . and strengthened bukheads to keep the ships afloat even with holes in their bottom ' In 8i2e the new ships'-will equal the California, now under construc tion, at the New York navy yard. They, will displace 32,000 tons, meas uring 625 feet in length overall, 9? feet eight inches beam and draw 30 feet of water. They will have a spread of 28 1-2 knots an, hour and will be driven by turbine " enfinea since the navy department probably will not build more ships of combin ed steam and electric driv as In the California, until that veeael has proved her worth. They will carry a ozen 14-inch rifles, each in their main battery,' mounted tfirce to a turret and with 30 degrees elevation. Wenty-two 5-inch riffei f5r defense against , destroyers, four submerged torpedo tubes and three anti-aircraft guns to repell aeroplanes and diri gibles. The steady increase In size of bat tleships is shown by av comparison of the new .vessels with the Nevada, the latest'addttibnto 'tfce'VyThey will displace 2,500 tons . more than the Nevada, show an increased length of nearly 50 'feet and a few feet ad ditional breadth and will mount 12 big guns .against the Nevada's ten. r. In appearance the new ships will show a marked departure from ves sels of their type now in commission as they will be constructed with long overhanging bows, known as clipper stems, patterned after swift sailing ships of days gone by. The result, in the opinion of navy designers, will be to give the battlecraft greater freedom, from pitching in . heavy seas. Kitchener Confers With Sarrail Saloniki, Nov. 18, via Paris, Nov. 19.

' . . SHOULD PROHIBITION BE MADE A POLITICAL ISSUE? Raleigh News and Observer. A few weeks ago the Temperance Society of the Methodist .Episcopal I church (the Northern Methodist church K with headquarters at Tepe ka, Kansas, sent out inquiries to the leading daily newspapers of the United States seeking expressions on prohibition as a political factor in 1916. Answers were asked to the following questions: " Should prohibition enter Into the political -campaign of 1916?- Would a nntional prohibition plank be an asset to the national platform of the party adopting it? Is it expedient for the parties to oppose prohibition as a national is sue? ; la there any other method of solv ing the liquor problem that they should favor? Should the question be absolutely ignored? : ..... v The cuestions were not leading, and the end sought, was to arrive at the exact status of opinion on the subject. The following facts were brought out by the replies received: 1. More papers favor the incor poration of a prohibition plank in the national platforms of their par ties than oppose it. ' S. A majority of the;i74 oppoe ng such action by their party con ventions are friendly to prohibition, but i think it would be a great mis take for the question to creep Into party politics. 1 3. The belief that "the time Is not yet ripe" is held by numerous editors. Some prefer that prohibi tion should- progress alone .present lines until it has gained more terrt lory, while several say that while it should not be an Issue in 1916 it. will inevitably become so in 1920,. unless it lsdlsposed of before that date. 4. Mnly-,42tpaeraiof 'the 550' re plying believe that the campaign platforms of their panties should op pose submission - of the prohibition resolution, while 396 hold the con trary opinion and 68 are indefinite. 5. Only 64 papers believe, that their parties should propose any oth er method of dealing with the liquor problem, and this Includes several who favor such action only in event ine party snouia ran to indicate a stand in favor of national prohibi tion. . : f - " A 'large number of friendly fcidtors insist r that there is a cryiHgl need of a great educational move-' ment to establish a foundation for prohibitory law. The church aad the temperance forces are taken to task for neglecting this phase of the question. 7. The proportion of papers bc- lieving that their parties should fa- OH. THAT'S THAT'S GOOD MISTER1. DON'T FORGET SAMMY SMITH UlNfc Uh AND JIMMY Moor vor the submission of prohibition Is just about the' same in the east, the west and the south. The west .has a. light leadership over both the oth er sections. - Attacking tlio Government. Greensboro Patriot. Tho prospcnslty to attack the gov ernment i3 common among Ameri cans and Englishmen. But in both countries it might very properly be curbed in periods of the great emer gency. No government will always avoid making mistakes, and it Js safe to assume that when a mistake Js made, the government knows the fact as soon' as the opposition does, and feels it as deeply. It" wont repeat the blunder if it can help it. IX no good can be done it would be as well to refrain from giving aid and com fort to the enemy. $23,000 foe Home Demonstration Work. Raleigh News and Observer. Over twenty-fit thousand dollars li the amount now of the appropria tion made by forty-five 'ountles of the state to home demonstration work. And Mrs. Jane McKlmmon. In charge of the work, expects ftol have shortly fifty per cent of " the counties of the state under super vision for the entire yeer. ".We have been much pleased at the amount of money being appro priated for home demonstration work," says Mrs. Jane 8. McKimmon, Most of the counties which hare been In the organization for feevral years have materially Increased their ap propriation. The total amounts ap propriated by the 45 counties organ-; iced is now S25.&26-.63. "We shall hare twenty whole time agents which gives supervision for about 50 per. cent of our. organized counties- for the entire year, and also sufficient help by local eub-agenta. If It were not absolutely necessary to have sub-agents we could support five or elxk more--counties .with whola time women in charge. "Our well trained women have been of inestimable value to us. not only In their - own counties, but whereever we need them in the sur rounding counties. In fact five of them act practically - as direct agents. Missouri to PatLso and Fray. Concord Times.

Associate j Justice Hughes, of the Supremo Court, today notified the Secretary of State of Nebraska that he would not be a candidate at the coming presi- jdentiai primary election and urged that his name not be placed upon the ballot. The formal declination of Justice Hughes to which he took an oath be fore a notary was telegraphic to tho Secretary "of State. The .attorney general of Nebraska has been quoted as saying Justice Hughes could not withdraw his name from the primary ticket. On the other hand Nebraskans in Washing ton contend there Is no question as to his right to withdraw. It Is believed that the Secretary of State of Nebraska will lay the mat ter before the Attorney General for an opinion and this opinion will be the decisive' factor. of the case. . - .
