Let's Have the 5a!ibury RoaJ.
The Journal desires to say candid
ly that ia its t pi-ion the propositi, n
of the Salisbury railroad ieop'e 1 1
come through this county, expectia z
eventually to get a southward con
nection, is the best thing that has
been c:Tered in a Ion: time. It is
true that they ask the townships
concerned to use their credit to a
certain extent to aid in building th?
road, but this :s coupled, as an ab
solute guarantee of good faith, with
the condition that we issue our bonds
only after the trains have been run
ning regularly over the road. This
takes the question entirely out of
the range of uncertainty, and nar
rows us down to the simple question
of whether we are willing to put
forth a reasonable effort to get a rail
road that all thinking men must see
would be a vast benetit to the town
and county.
We believe that this road would
mean great things for Monroe and
all the territory through which it
will run. Transportation is the key
to modern progress, and those com
munities that have fewest railroads
are the least prosperous. The cur
rents of commerce are fixed by the
railroads, and as they are now being
fixed they will probably stay for
generations. Hence no town that
has a chance to get an additional
road ever misses it. But every argu
ment that applies to Monroe, doubly
applies to the country outside of the
town. Poor land near railroads and
good wagun roads is becoming more
valuable every day, while fertile
lands so located that they are with
out hope of such facilities are get
ting relatively los valuable. Tins
writer drove through a rvh country
one day last s urnuer. Tho farn.
were growing up in rich cbver, tim
othy and blue gra. It was a rich
soil, but there were few people to b:'
seen. "Where ;ire all the pcplethat
shuiild be oa this rich lanu?" was
asked. "Why," was the reply, "they
dispaired of evir getting a railroad
through here au.l tluy have cvjvc.!

one of vast industrial accomplish
ment, an I its products are as varied
as could well be wished. The board

over the State of North Carolina,
sucking the State's purse and de
vouring her social, physical and
moral life? With all these, to over
come, are we ready to put a million
dollars in the tine house at Raleigh?"
The Journal does not think this
measure wise at this time. While

co-operative interest ia its activity

:mMM.ore Mules and
Better Mules
Will Vet Shine in Its Own Light
Ilc-fi'rrin tLe statement ly the
editors of the New Yerk Ju'irnal of
Commerce that ellorts haJ at dilTt-r-ent
times b-ea made to bribe tl.e
paper to erase its flht upi the
ship subsidy idea, an 1 to join th?
foices that are trying to hocus poc'Js
Congress into this scheme, the Char
lotte Xewi says that "Things begin
to look a little gloomy for subsidy
seekers," and that at tha previous
lession of CdEgrcss it was revealed
that "the organization backing the
ship subsidy bill was made 'ip prin
cipally of ship builders and ship
owners, who would benefit greatly
by the funds secured from the treas
ury. It was further charged that a
lobby was maintained in Coneress
to promote the cause of the subbidy-ista."
We are unable to see but three
clas?'' of pple who are howlin
for this latest device to make all the
people pay tribute to a few: di The
ones who expact tJ get in on the
ground floor and those who are psid
to work ; , 2 the second class com prises
that list of growing members who
sneeze when the interests take snuH
for the purpose of attracting atten
tion; (3 1 and the third are those who
have taken the statements of the
others in good faith and are deceived
thereby. Certainly no argument has
yet teen put forth that convinces the
country that the scheme is anything
but a raid on the treasury, and be
cause it is such, those who expect to
profit never let it die. But it will
undoubtedly shine in its on light
some time.
