AAA;fAA-AA.:'' ". : A':'-vpr ., We venture to say that the Cranks' Convention in aes sion in California this week did not begin to marshal a fair representation, regaijdless of the tsurrJjer present. ' A contemporary inquires if "John M. Parker is still running for the vlce-presid:ncy," At the last accounts he was avowedly in the race to the finish, but of course, it h possiblo that he may have concluded that the "'njahN has' already arrived. , ' ' f n . v The Episcopal revisionist committee now in session in Chicago la reported, to favor the elimination of the word "obey" from the marriage ceremony. Its removal will un doubtedly take away . one vow which is not regarded very seriously by a very large percentage who take it. .rH'.-v'tMi"-i ''i'; ' A- .,?;;,:V;;--:: Having occasion to be In the Capital City on Tuesday, we, of course, called to pay our respects to our news paper friends. We found the boys of Raleigh's evenjng paper all at their posts, but were disappointed to learn at the sanctum of the morning journal that Editors Brit- ton, JIaywood and Clark "had not recovered" from the Labor Day celebration or at least had not reported since the observance of the holiday, which we wore Informed wae a festive occasion,.' - .v , supplies, eliminate" waste and all surplus copies. Many of the larger newspapers have reduced tha number of pages, have cut out return privilege to news dealers, elim inated their complimentary lists and have even cut off all exchanges and copies sent to foreign advertisers. Newspaper readers and advertising patron everywhere will be called upon by their respective papers to assist in caring for the increases. Subscription rates and adver-1 tising rates as weir must be increased by every paper in the country to prevent losses unless there is a quick reduction in the price of stock. There i no indication whatsoever of any such reduction. ' In a good many cases after the increases have been made the newspapers will be getting 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 have had the financial sup port of their constituents that they deserved. When the amount of capital, labor and community service is consid ered the average, newspaper is about the poorest paid agency to be 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 giving 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 Ita advertising patrons whose 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 gone to the figure that it has now reached. This was because the growth in circulation and prestige of the paper makes its advertising space more valuable. The increases that are being asked now are but little, if any, in exesss of what would have been asked had only a rea sonable increase been made in the cost of whitepaper, for after all. jhe baais of advertising value from the stand point of the patron, at least, is the quantity and quality of the medium's circulation and the prestige that it en joys with its reading patrons. v : As stated in previous articles, no increases now in the subscription rates are contemplated for immediate ef fect, but if the threatened additional increases in the' cost of white paper comfc, subscription prices will perforce ba increased. - BRIEFS IN THE NEWS ' OTHER EASrN CAROLINA TOWNS AND COUNTItS George Jones, white, of the Cypress section, was to 'go on trial at NewBern today charged with mur der. Jonea is alleged to have rhct and Lillet Georg Pate. Pleading self-defense, he says Pate would have killed him had he not shot first. New Bern is to purchase an auto truck for hauling garbage.

COITON IS IN GOOD CONDITION IN VERY FEW PLACES; STATED Washington, Sept -Cotton show. td some improvement in the northern part of the belt during the week just ended, the National Weather and Crop Bulletin today announced.. "The condition of cotton is quite variable," says the bulletin, "but it is good in only a few localities,;: Etol weevils are reported as far north as southern Hardeman county, Tenn Shedding continues also, - and ' rust damage is still reported in placet. FARMERS' PRESIDENTS AGAINST ADAMSON LAW WATERWAYS CONVENTION TO HAVE PREPAREDNESS FOR THEME NEXT WEEK WHAT OTHERS SAY ABUSE OF PUBLIC PROPERTY.'" ' The Washington Daily Newt touches upon an interest-. ing subject, and one that is general in its application whea it discusses the carelessness In which pntrons of post of fices and other public (buildings deface the property by expectorating upon the walls and 'floors and otherwise contributing to the unsanitary condition. Not only do a large number of people fail to appreciate the individual responsibility resting upon every one, who has occasion to use public property, with respect to keeping it clean, but it ia not an uncommon sight to see furniture and fittings m a public building carved up. As a matter of fact, it, is doubtful if any of the older courthouses in the country can bo looked ovej without the signs of whittling being inevidence.. ' The situation presents well-defined necagsity for continued ' education and pro motion of adverse public sentiment to the mutilation and marring of public property. It may require more dras tic action than the merit warning notices to accomplish the desired results and teach all the people, their (res ponsibility In' the matter. i NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING RATES , MUST ADVANCE.

The Senate could nsver have been driven into passing such measure with in two or three days, almost without debate, unless an irresistible public opinion, Concerned first of all, with a paramount public interest, had demanded instant, action, When emergencies arise they must be met. The Senate with its time-honored freedom of debate, and infinite op portunity for filibustering, toed 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 aaving the country from a calamity which no group of men had the slightest moral right to inflict upon the people. It is exceedingly doubtful that any individual member of either house would have dared to vote against the bill if its passage had been known to depend on one vote. There were 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 kmired such a catas trophe to descend upon the 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 opinion,' stld the Wall Street Journal yesterday, 'would test the loyalty of the rank and fUo to the misguided brotherhood leaders and would put the matter on trial before the pub lic.' Congress was loyal to the public interest rather than to the policy of the railroad executives and their finan cial backers in what it has done. Congress rightly pre ferred to prevent a national catastrophe which the rail road arbitration board of 1912 declared would 'be beyond our power or description.' It was a sane and righteous , . !. . . .1 conclusion in xne circumstances, criticize it as one may." j New Orleans, Sept. 6 At the closing session here late today of the innual meeting of the Association of State Presidents of the Farmers' Ed- icational and Co-Operative Unions of America, a resolution was adopted vhich endorsed the action on Mon- iay of the president of the associa tion.
