At the last accounts he was avowedly in 1ho race to the ftnihh, hot of course, it is possible that he may have concluded that the "'rush' has already arr'red. ' The Episcopal rovisionist committee now in session in Chicago is reported to favor tho elimination of the word "obey" from tha Tnarrlago ceremony. Ita removal Will un doubtedly tuko away one vow which is not regarded very seriously by very large percentage who tak it. supplies eliminate' waste and all aurplua copies.' 'Many of the larger newspapers have reduced the number of pages, have cut out return privilege to news dealers, elim inate their complimentary lists and have even cut off all exchanges and copies sent to foreign advertisers. Newspaper readers and advertising patrons everywhere will be called upon by their respective papers to assist in caring for the increases. Subscription rates and adver tising ratei as well must be increased by every paper in the country to prevent losses unless there is a quick reduction in the price of stock. There U no indication whatsoever of any such reduction. i. In a good many cases after '. the , increases have been made tho newspapers will be (retting about what they have been entitled to all the time when the cost of mate rials was on the old basis. Comparatively few of the newspapers of this country iarve had the financial sup port of their constituents that they deserved. When the amount of capital, labor and community .service is -considered the average newspaper is about the poorest paid agency to bo found. Live publishers have realized this for some time, and they are gradually bringing the stan dard up and educating the newspaper clientele to the standpoint of riving adequate support. Newspaper readers and advertising patrons, as a rule, we believe, will respond to the increases which are made necessary by the'extraordinary conditions now prevailing. The Free Press is calling upon its advertising patrons whoso contracts are being renewed, and where new con tracts are being made, to pay a small increase. An in crease was contemplated even before the price of paper had cone to the figure that it has now reached. This was because tho growth in circulation and prestige of the paper makes its advertising space more valuable. Tho increases that are being asked now are but little, if any In excess of what would have been asked had only a rea sonable increase been made in the cost of white paper, for after all. the basis of advertising value from tho stand point of the patron, at least, is the quantity and quality of the modium's circulation and the prestige that it en- Joys with its reading patrons, f , As stated in previous articles, no increases now in the flubscTiiption rates are; contemplated for immediate ef fect, but if the threatened additional increases in the cost of white paper come, subscription prices will perforce be increased. . , BRIEFS IN THE HElBjfov OTHER EAST'N CAROLINA TOWNS AND COUNTIlS ' George 'Jones, white, of the Maple Cypress secton, was to go on trial at New Berh today charged with mur der.

Springfield Republican: "With the passage and enact ment oi, the eight-hour law for railroads and with the menace of the greatest railroad strike in history wholly removed, it is idle.to ay that Congress was clubbed by labor unionism into this legislation. The Senate could nover have been driven into passing such ar measure with in two, or three days, nlmost without debate, unless an irresistible public opinion, concerned fiwt of all, with a paramount public interest, had demanded instant action. When emergencies arTse they must be met.; The Senate wHhUtatimchhipored freedom of debate, and infinite op portunity for filibustering, tood the mark as it had never done before in our time; but the Senate was coerced not by unionism, but by the inexorable necessity of Having the country from a calamity which no group of men had tho slightest moral right to inflict upon the people. It Is exceedingly doubtful that any individual memb?r of either house would have dared to vote against the bill if its passage Jjad been known to -depend on one vote Thar wore members who voted in the negative, but they knew that the bill's passage was assured. That they did nothing,. under the circumstances, to aid, in preventing the strike does not prove that they desired such a catas trophe to descend upon tha nation, yet it is certain that their negative votes were tantamount to an acceptance of a cruel and devastating labor war in which the whole people would have been the real victims. "The evidence accumulates that the railroad presidents as a body wanted the strike. 'A .strike, in their opinio said tha Wall Street Journal yesterday, 'would test the loyalty of the rank and file to the misguided brotherhood leaders and woul put tha matter on trial before the pub- '.if.'. Congress was loyal to the public Interest rather than to, the policy of the railroad executives and their finan- cit.1 backers in what it has done. Congress rightly pre ferred to prevent a national catastrophe which the rail road arbitration board of 1&12 declared would 'be beyond our power of description. It was a sane and righteous conclusion in the circumstances, criticize it as one may."
