MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 4, 1916 Where does Villa get his munitions? The division of spoils, said to be In course by the Allies, ia somewhat akin to "counting the chicks before they hatch". Old High Cost of Living seems to have gotten a pretty good start on an unsuspecting people but the generul wakening bids well for a checking of the old scout soon. Greece has been disarmed. It remains to be soen whether the Allies will benevolently assimilate her man hood for its munition factories and other Industries, un manned by war's call The trend of the discussions heard and read anent tho necessity of raising subscription rates iby the papers and magazines of this country and the question, "Shall wn raise the rates?" seems to (be resolving itself into the answer "Yea" and the only unsettled phase of the matter i "How Much?" The cost of print paper, Ink and all Other "Ingredients" of tho newspaper, Is on the rapid In cline, keeping step with the abnormal increases In all that Unea. The Income of the newspaper must perforc ha Increased to take care of the cost of production. t The fining of a Granville county school teacher for chastising a pair of unruly boyi, should not be taken as an Indication that the authori'y of the school teachers over the pupils is to be lessened. The GranvlUp case had tome unusual aspects. The "joys, who were punish ed, disobeyed instructions, which were given to them white they were in school ibut their offense was not com mitted until they were on their way home after the day's lessons had been said and the fact that the school princi pal felt justified in whipping the lads off the school grounds gave rise to the opinion of the court that ho had exceeded hia jurisdiction. Next time ho should await tht return of the boys to school the (following day and hu authority will not be brought into question. AN IMPORTANT SESSION. The (present winter session of Contfrpss la to be one of the most important sittings of tho Nation's leginlativi branch. Matters of great importance are to bo considered The Issue involved In the controversy between the rail roads and their employees aro to bo threshed out and prin ciples pertaining to capital and labor are to bo clarified o that If (possible the country will not be eternally nn-n aced by threatened tie-ups ami disacrwements. The prob lem of living expends will furnish a topic for spirited discussion and if possible Congress will enact Much laws as will further protect tho general public from the uti scrupulous, who would "corner" the food supplies foi selfish gain to the suffering and hardlsh of the great mit jority of the pooplo. The looae ends of the jrrent con structive program, which has lieen carried out during tht four years or Democratic rule, mu.n be tied ere the mar gin of control grows less with the statutory udjournmcn: on or before March 1, 1 f17. Speaker Clark has already sounded the slogan "To Work, To Work" and urjres that the customary two week Christmas holiday he i llminated. To work it musi ! FINE OPPORTUNITY. . The newspaper folk of the State have an unusual op )ortunity afforded thorn this tweek iu the first newapapg institute to be held in the State. A practical prograiis dealing with Che every day problems, which confront ev ery publisher and editor, has been arranged by thajifom tnlttee; men of national prominence are on the program. Former President Tart will make one tt the princjj iddresses and Messrs. Talcott and Walter William kha School of Journalism of Columbia and Missouri Uni versities, respectively, will be heard. Publisher Don Seltz of the New York World, big, blunt, busy roan thai he is, will tell of the problems that he has enountered and solved. Then the fellows at hume will give their ex periences. In fact the whole program might be aizl'd up as a sort of '"Speri&nce meetln'". The committee and the University folks, who are to fee hosts to the meeting are urging every paper In the Stifte to send one or more representatives. The invitation If one that every newspaper man and woman should toe glad to avail themselves of and go to Chapef Hill' Thursday Friday and Saturday of this week, If possible.'1 Not only will they be benefitted by the exchange of ideas and the mingling one with another but the opportunity to visit the State's educational center should not ibo overlooked. As some of our contemporaries have emphttgized, n,c set of people need to keep up with the advancing times like the newspaper fraternity. The hands that guide th world's most forceful agency for directing public sent ment must not only be abreast but agjtep in advance "On to Chapel Hill This Week", should be the slogan o' every newspaper man in the State. a o F-gm an almond-eyed admirer in he new big Republic of the Orient Maude EJtchin, the foremost member f the House of Representatives and '4jnston's Congressman, has receiv )d a miash-appreciated present.

London hospitals are considering the use of baby foot prints for purposes of identification to prevent baby mixups and obviate repetition of the Baby Slingsby case.

Raleigh News & Observer: "The Ptytedelphia Recorlf discussing the results) of boycotting food products onfj which excessive prices have been asked says: ' . It Is always possible for the consuming public to break a "corner," providing the commodity cornered is not an absolute necessary .f life and a real scarcity does not exist. The slump In the iprice of turkeys and lesser declines in the prices of other commodities show that there is a regulative power, more effgojive than any that could be set up by the government authority, which can be applied whenever the intended victims of extortion make up their minds to do. It takes two parties to mpl e a price, the buyer and the seller; and the former is the stronger of the two. He does not have to buy; but the fellow who is caught with the goods has to sell sooner or later. ' That is all very true. But co-operation on the part of a large number of people is something that Is hard to bring uoout and there otik'ht to be some way to protect the public without compelling them to wait until thsy have already been robbed. , There is always danger of relying too much on govern ment for the cure of the ills that assail people. But we are convinced that the time is here whc&Jome plan must b found by which the government, State or national, can protect its citizens on a much broader scale than Is now done, from the depredations of men who ruthlessly gam ble on tha necessities of their follows:' This to not soc ialism, It Is slmoly asking for government thn is "for" the people as well as of and "by" the people.
