THURSDAY , EVENING, JANUARY 6, 1916 iKobody can blame the Commoner for entering a pro tost when his mileaare claim was not approved by the court in New York before which he was summoned to ,: appear. ... ..-.. We see by the press dispatches from Petersburg, In- . diana1. that the famous, mule, Maud, w dead at the age of 42. Glad to know that the old problem Of "How old is Maud? hat been settled at last, v " Word comes (from El Paso, Texas, that General Villa ' has been killed. We' apprehend, however, that General Carranza will have to have a death certificate signed by most reputable officer before we will believe the report. The reports that the 'British authorities at SaloniV.l are offering rewards for information of the presence of Ger man submarines in the Aegean Sea, are but to make one laugh! ; The authorities should be referred to the Lloyd. or some other ship mortuary agency. " The esteemed Greensboro Record expatiates on xr J' anonymous communication, which it has received, and .'. from the tone of which it concludes that the writer was a woman, and that she was mad. We venture the guess V that if the first conclusion of the Record is correct' that i the author of the note will have the last word. - , ()i;, ! .'. .' r Brother Consalea of the esteemed Columbia State res ' ponds to our words of congratulation on the occasion of J John Barleycorn's departure and particularly to our prof .' ferred sympathy extended him and his associate, Sparks. . 'Man, we're dce-lijrhted.'V We hope we are not due any apologies for drawing the, wrong conclusions, . - A contemporary speaks of the terrible record for bru , tality and bloodthirstiness the Christian nations are mak- ,' ing with their submarine warfare. It should be kept .'. in mind that the principles of Christianity are not ex emplified in the tactics of war, but the spirit of bar barism, which unfortunately hasn't yet given place to . the teachings of the Man of Galilee. RIGHT., AND NOT MIGHT, SHOULD PREVAIL. The New York Herald is insisting upon the United States "confessing its shame or vindicating it right" in the submarine controversy. The Herald thinks that the notes regarding the Luaitania, the Arabic, the Ancona, et cetera, hould either be withdrawn or satisfactory re plies insisted upon. The Herald doesn't suggest how it would proceed if James Gordon Bennett was at the helm instead of Woodrow Wilson; it doesn't mention how many soldiers it has in training eagerly awaiting the first call to arms; but it simply undertakes to show that the diplo macy of Mr. Wilson has been to no avail. The Herald will probably admit that as much pressure has been brought to bear in the notes as language will convey and that everything possible has been done so far as diplo macy is concerned to secure proper .regard for the lives of Americans on the high seas. The truth is nobody is satisfied with the results so far attained. The Administration officials themselvea are far from being pleased with the outcome and the appar ent disregard of promises made by the Teutonic powers The people of the country haven't yet reached the point of asking Mr. Wilson to discontinue his diplomatic ef forts and resort to force; they are still confident that Mr, Wilson knows what he is doing, and that he can be de pended on to handle the situation to the best advantage Tho talk of using force bring up a terrible and serious question, and the cost must be weighed most carefully before the gauntlet ia thrown down. The United1 States has not suffered any loss of dignity, because of her pa tience in endeavoring to convince the belligerent of the errors of their way. The results of a diplomatic victory will be far outreacbing any that could be hoped for through force, because the principle of right and not might would prevail. And It should prevail. -IMMEDIATE ACTION" IS i CERTAINLY NEEDED. Commissioner Wood wa quoted in The Free Press Tuesday a f avorlmjr the immediate calling of elections for the issuance of township bonds for good roads. ' The record of the Board of Commissioners on the good roads question would hardly lead one to think that they favor ed any sort of bond issues for roads. They certainly have succeeded in sitting on the county issue, and in tha meantime the roads throughout the county arc said to bo getting worse and worse. We agree with Mr. Wood la the "immediate action" part of his suggestion. Some-, thing ought to be done to give the county passable thor ougfares which will enable the good people of the Kin ston trading tone to come here to market their crops and make their purchase rather than drive them to other more accessible points. Six candidates for the congressional honors In Mlssis- ippl fought it out chiefly on Mr. Wilson's preparedness plan, Without knowing the cuccessiul aspirant's pos' tion on the question, it is safe to predict that he will come to Washington all Moated up and under the impres sion that he has the solution cowed up in his noodle. - The New Bern Sun-Journal remarks that because of ' the contribution of pecans mad by some fair readers to Editor Britton, "the News and Observer may be expected j to come out good and strong for the suffrage movement 4, pretty soon." Man alivet don't you know that the cause of the SufTs. has been championed for lot these many moons by Britton? Why, it is even said of him that he has been a suffragette ever since he got married. ", Hickory Daily Record; "Persons who are not reading daily newspaper these days miss a great deal. Many years from now thousands of pagee of history will be writ- ,' ten on the events served hot by papers like the Record."':. v;- - , 7- --v r ; 7 ' Well, we are somewhat surprised that Sam would ad mit so freely 'that he js printing "history." 7 Our remark about Mr. Taf t' fitness for the place on the Supreme Bench were hardly written before the news came from Washington that Associate Justice William R. Allen of the North Carolina Supremo Court was bcinp mentioned, and that the North Carolina representatives in Congress would do what they could to secure his ap pointment.' While we have nothing to retract from our Taft Article, we would not be so remiss as to fail to back the distinguished Tar Heel jurist if there ia a ghost of a chance of his being seriously considered. 1 That the mother is the truest earthly friend Is demon atrated in the long journey of Mrs. Dclaney from her home In New York to her son, who has been in jail in New Born. The young man created some notoriety here a few week ago by marrying a chorus girl, and since his departure was jailed on a charge of passing bad checks. The young wife is said to have left for her former home in New York to await the outcome of the troubles of her husband, but, the mother came to share them and, if possible, help the son to escape. It would be well for those boys and girls who are prone to leave the straight and narrow path to meditate u.pon their obligation to mother, and have a care for her. Too often the wayward would feign protect their mothers from sorrow when it is too late; when the deed has been done. WHAT OTHERS SAY HKAJ.H AND EDUCATION. Hickory Record: "What this coun try needs more than anything else k a vigorous campaign for health and education. These two thing are what North Carolina needs and the health and educational forces should be upheld in the good fight. "Health and education go hand in hand. A large number of people, know little about the laws of health, and they cannot be reached without great effort. When all the people are given an opportunity to attend school and all the children are made to attend regularly, health conditions will improve. "The physicians are doing a great work, but every agency should be en listed in the cause." TIME TO HEAR EVIDENCE. Raleigh Times: "There are cir cumstances connected with the sink ing of the Persia which seem to ne gative the idea of submarine attack. , "The ship sank in five minutes. "A torpedo, though sure, is not usually so swift in destruction. "No submarine was observed. "In lignt sufficient to fire by peri scope, it is difficult to reconcile this fact with the lookout maintained by a vessel passing in war time through the most dreaded of waters. i, -7 "Testimony of survivors as to hav ing seen the wakc of a torpedo' must be subjected to a scrutiny almost a severe as that due' the annual crop of deep sea salts who sight 'sea ser pents.' "If a German or Autsrian submer sible did sink tho Persia without warning, the time for protests has passed. "It is because the act would mean war that the duty is so plain not to assume its commission." CAROLINA RAILROAD TIME TABLE Mo. i Effective April 19, 1914. 6 A. M.
