Britton to inquire: "When is a wlilte way not a white way?" "Some of our contemporaries express the hope that President Wilson, will not undertake a r, it ion-wide awak ing tour. They should bear in , mind, however, that ha would be able to cay "something," and not ajmply mnka ft noi8f. v Congressman Hay announces that he will drop th? fight with reference tothe exemption clauses in the Army bijl, which caused the President's veto. We were under the impression that his fightring clothes were fthed when he wa appointed to the Court of Appeals. :Tha Relief Committee continues , to admonish the pio pli of the State to give of their "means for the assistants of. the flood sufferers. We pass the word of encourage ment along, and urge again our farmers, who are recciv my such splendid prices for their tobacco crops, tp be ncrt unmindful of those whose all has been carried before ha devastating waters. REMOVING TEMPTATION A RESPONSIBILITY. If eating meat causes your bother to stumble, eat no meat! A Biblical injunction, which is far too often ig nored as tho evenU .of the world transpire and are re corded. In spite cf the fact that those, opposing the pro gress of prohibition and temperance, have furnished ar guments alleging interference with personal liberty, so ciety has come to recognize to a certain extent ait least, its reeponaibility in removing temptation from the wy of the weak. Many a man,' no doubt, has started fin downward course because of an unexpected encounter with temptation. It i sad -spectacle tosee such victim consigned to the prson wallJ, just and merited though uch 'punishment may be. t Such was the pcenc enacted in the Recorder's Cour Tuesday mcrning, when a young man not heretofore hav ing a criminal record, no tar as wo know, was convicted of breaking into a how window and taking therefrom aonv? money. lie was caught with the goods. There was no doubt of his guilt and we are not making any appeal for him, but simply endeavoring to hold up an object les son. Neither would we appear to criticize those who had the money on display, the temptation for which proved too ?trong for tho young man; but we would point cut that it would have been far better had this "offending ment" been removed. How easy would it have been for the money to have been hidden from view at tho close of business each day and thus a stumbling block taken out of the path of the young man, weak as he , was, and others. ; wen euougu to minic on tnese xnings. mere is a responsibility for contributing to the downfall of man kind, which should not be underestimated. CfjOD FOR DR. RANKIN! V The laity, at least, will endorse the position taken by Br: W. S. Rankin, Secretary of the North Carolina State Board of Health, in criticizing the action of the medical men assembled at Washington in conference relative to tie infantile paralysis econrge. J Dr. Rankin , takes the position that medical science is v njit yet posaewed of any knoiylede of material useful ness in combatting the disease)" And he' took issue with , the conferees for having endorsed the methods now being employed In the New York epidemic. Dr. Rankln'a posi tion la based upon the ground that judging from results ; t$e methods employed are not efficacious; dn spite of everything that has been done f an alarming in- jjrwue I:i the number of esses .ao deaths is still bcirg I clpyrlenced and Dr. Rankin Xcfttluit no endorsement . should bo given until merit hadjUen proven. Too long has ethical courtesy onfcrted to the hurt of irjanklnd, and physicians have beerf''ont to assume to kho,v when in reality, they wcre4n the "dark," and it is rifrcahing when a practitioner is found who candidly and honestly admits that he doesfttkjiqw. We don't think tjat Dr. Rankin has "told Any talcs out of school," by sor'ing up the fraternity In this instance. WHAT OTHERS SAY TTIE RESPONSIBILITY OF JURY DUTY. J Unquestionably too little importance U attached by a vf ry large lumber of people to tho obligation and res-pp-isibilfty of Jury service. Not enough care is mani fested 'at all times by those who are charged with the reaofmaibility of selecting jurors and men not only cf que?rit.-nable and loo.e charactfr, but those mentally un qualified to pass upon evidence found in the jury boxes, cp isoquently justice and right are not always assured. Jadge Dovin emphasiwd this duty of citizenship in his ri.Tarka in Open court on Monday, It is a matter th.vt every citizen should take to heart The average man, in fact, it flight not be too broad to say that practically MICHIGAN'S GOT THEM. GOING. Richmond Virginian: "Comes the cheering news that old John F.'arleycom and WilHo Lag?r Beer are on thoir last legs in Michigan, and that, when November comet they will bo banished by popular vote, unwept, unhonored and unsung. "We hear that there isn't a daily newspaper in Detroit which will admit a liquor advertisement to its columns. "The liquor interests are fighting to the last ditch, us ing all of tha accustomed tactics, but they are throwing awiiy their ammunition. All of the many great-big, men of Industry are said to be aligned against continuance of tW licensed liquor traffic. "Those be days of1 joy for the vofcorans of the temper ance army. They see that their .sacrifices are not in vain thac their foe, which has wrought ao much of sorrow and misery in this world, is being gradually forced to y'ekl. "Let the war go on until in the glorioui consummation there shall not be a square foot!oif territory on which the devil may raise tha block flag of the rum traffic." THE BASIC EIGHT-HOUR DAY. Columbia State; "The incessantly chattered argument iat members of the railroad brotherhoods 'are among the best paid workers anywhere' is empty and stupid. It may be that they are paid too little, too much or just enough. In the present state of human society measure ment of service by dollars is adly inexact and connect ive. Administrative ability fetches prices far out of pro portion to those tf technical and scientific accomplish ments. Commercial callings which require little educa tion beyond a working knowledge of the simpler rules of arithmetic yield immenss profits to the man of resolu tion to apply thera diligently and with proper restraint. Teachers and preachers are given scarcely enough to maintain themselves in the manner that those whom they serve require. An industrious and skilled carpenter or bricklayer receives as much or more than tho average newspaper Writsr. All editors except Arthur Brisbane are underpaid wo suppose. Tljat 80 per cent, of the railroad workers receive much less than the other 20 per tent, proves nothing as to the adequacy of compen sation of tho latter. j f j "What an enjrineman or trainman should be given for1 his work we do' not ;now.! ' Theuee tion in controversy ehould be narrow ed to' the length of the working day and H should be conaidared in isola. tion from all others. It is klle to say that it is impossible or impractic able. The State is convinced that the iasic . working day of eight hours should be adopted."

Hudson Now Holds W Greatest Hill-Climbing Makes Fastest Time Up Pike's Peak No hill-climb or mountain test in the world equals that imposed on motor cars that race to the sum mit of Pike's Peak. A Hudson Super-Six Special made the best time of more than 20 contestants to the top of America's most famous mountain, over the longest, steepest, highest travelable road in the worM ' " " : The start, at a mile and three-quarters above the sea, is higher by far than is the altitude of the finishing line in most hill climbs. a'.-.' The finishing point of Pike's Peak is al most tw oand three-quarters miles above sea level. In the twelve and a fraction miles of the course there are 60 turns and the rise is almost one mile high. There is no place where the car is npt climbing. The high altitude affects the power effi ciency of the motor and water boils at such low temperature that motors cannot be cooled as they are in lower levels. Hudson Fastest Time The Hudson climbed up this winding steepn-oaote the "Top of the World" in 18 minutes, 24 seconds. Its time was '21-2 rAl!hu!e$ faster than the next fastest car. This featnow gives to Hudson practical ly every worth-while record. In speed whenf 102.3 miles an hour was attained at Daytona ; in , endurance when 1819 miles -were covered in 24 hours, with a1 stock Super-Six chassis we established marks not soon to be equaled. Now we hav? "ilded to these the great-' est of all hill-climbing feats. In it we have shown the endurance of the SuperrSi mjA Others Failed Motors- of some of the most famous rac ing cars in the world were unable to -withstand the strain of that climb and so did not get to the summit. ; ' It is constant hard pulling all the way- and more than three-quarters of the- dis tance must be made in second speed, even - with specially geared cars. In addition to mere climbing, as is re-' quired in all hill-climbs, here is added the" difficulties of carburetion and cooling. '; The altitude that affects one's breathing . so much that even the strongest man can ., stand only the least amount of physical ex--ertion, has a similar effect in reducing the : power of the motor. We made that record in a contest in , which were entered, as described by, a De; ver newspaper, "Fours Sixes Eights Twelves and Super-Sixes." And, as in all tests in which they have been entered, the best performance was shown by the Super-Six.
