article. The "critic" then proceeds to take the paper to
task, and asserts that the proprietor of Coca Cola can
celled his advertising contract because the first article
had been printed, and for that reason his second article
was refused. The "critic" will have to produce more evi
dence to convince the newspaper fraternity that either the
Coca Cola contract was cancelled, or if it was that the
paper declined his second article on the strength of the ,
cancellation. While there is room for difference of opin-1
ion as to the merit or effect of the drink, there is none for
the statement that Mr. Candler haa made his money by
fraudulent or questionable methods. The enormous sales
of his product, brought about largely by his far-seeing
business sense in exploiting it, naturally has netted him
large returns. That same business judgment would, we
believe, make it out of the question for him to authorize
the cancellation of his advertising contract because of any
article appearing in the news or editorial columns of any
medium, through which he was advertising . Mr. Candler
knows that no self-respecting paper would be influenced
by such action and that such a step on his part would only
result to his detriment ultimately. If the contract has
been cancelled the Charlotte Observer should make public
the fact and apprise its readers and friends of the details
sufficiently to acquaint them with the circumstances. Re
gardless of the contract's cancellation, it is certainly
within the paper's right to decline to become the medium
of a religious controversy, which can have no possible
benefit to anybody except to enable the participants
"disgorge."

VILLA, MEXICO'S LONE
EXAMPLE OP CONSISTENCY
The New York Herald prints an interesting story of
Villa, telling; of his rise from a common illiterate outlaw
of the mountains to the position of "strong man" of Mex
ico. This evolution has come about in four years and
Villa has not only acquired a commanding position in his
country, but he has learned to read and write, which ac
complishments he did not possess prior to his military I cers and such other business as may
service. The one thing in the Herald's story more wor-1 properly come before them.
thy of comment than any other, la the Net that Villa is
the only Mexican leader who has remained true to his
"original" colors. He enlisted In the Madero rebellion and
has remained true to the Madero course since. Villa has
been a friend of the peons, and during his outlawry never
imposed upon the poor people, it' is asserted. He is re
garded as their champion, and, in fact, has publicly stated
that he had no personal political ambitions, but it was his
desire to see that the down-trodden men and women of
Mexico be given a chance. The American press has been
Inclined to distrust Villa, and make fun of his promises.
Despite that fact, Villa has yet to fail in giving evidence
of good faith, and the press, which has scored him, has
only based its opinion on his past record. In the light
of the other wonderful transformations which have come
to him, it is not at all out of reason to expect a radical
change in his principles, and upon Villa's shoulders may
yet rest the distinction of leading his country out of the
wilderness of rebellion and turmoil.

WHAT OTHERS SAY
i The tuberculin test for the cows, which supply the Kln
,'ston market, 'la the first important step taken by the
new meat and milk Inspector in his plan to protect the
health of Kinito'n's babies. Dr. Foley saya the varlou
dbalera have accorded him every consideration and the
spirit of co-operation, which has already been anticipated
iii the columns of The Free Press, is indeed, a source of
congratulation. The Inspector' work should bo mnde
easy as possible by the cordial co-operation of all con
earned, and the start forebodes well. It is to be hoped
lhat few, if any, of the dairy herds in this community
will be found to have any trace of the disease. In some
localities dairymen have Buffered very considerable losses
because of the necessity for killing their cows, which were
found to be infected.
NOT ALWAYS SAME IN PRINT
New Bern Sun: "The Columbia State neatly makes the
point in Irvin Cobb's favor that no newspaper of honor
able standing would for an instant tolerate a reporter
who faked an important interview. Politicians are con
tinually declaring themselves misrepresented by the most
respected papers of the country. Nevertheless, political
reporters on these papers still retain the confidence of
their employers and this fact, as the State declares,
is a proof that repudiation of an interview is recognized
as an old political trick.

A SERVICE TO HUMANITY
Raleigh Newa and Observer: "There has been no great
er evidence of the concern of President Wilson in the wel
fare of the people of this country than in his efforts in
behalf of the settlement of the matters of the strike of I
the coal miners in Colorado. That was a situation in
which a large part of that State was concerned, a
situation which more or lesss affected other parts of the
country.
"President Wilson did not become weary in his efforts
to bring to a close a strike which has been held to be the
greatest in this country. That with interests so conflict
ing he has been able to present measures by which the
strike has been ended is a tribute of the highest kind to
his wisdom and his heart. His accomplishment is such
as to make ths country feel an increased pride in that it
has in the White House a man who can bring to pass such
things as these.
"The situation in Colorado was such as to require the
most careful handling of all the interests affected. These
interests clashed at such vital points that the fear was
that there could be no measure proposed which would
prove to be one upon which there could be an agreement
reached. But President Wilson found the way out and
out of what he has done there is the promise that a way
has been found in his plan of mediation which will have
the greatest of influence in the settlement of questions
which arise between the employed and the employers. A
great service has been rendered the entire country in the
accomplishment of President Wilson in the agreement to
his plan for the settlement of the strike in Colorado. He
has done a service for humanity.
