FRIDAY.
Jane IT, 1014.
The aviators are-right to throw
cold water on any project to fly
around the world in competition for
that $150,000 San Francisco exposi
tion prize, until a bank guarantee
Tor the payment of the money is pro
vide? Under the present status it
seems that the successful aviator
might possibly get something in case
the exposition was a grand financial
success. But inasmuch, as small for
tunes in prizes are being given away
all the time at ordinary aeroplane
meets, i'. looks as though the man
-who first ies around the world
should be rubstantially rewarded for
lis pains.
We knew we were right about the
way to spell New Bern, and the opin
ion of that splendid judicial mind of
Judge Oliver H. Allen's of Kinston
ought to be sufficient to make all
others see the ligbfey Writing to the
Kinston Free Press, he says, "I have
a word to say upon the controversy,
as to which is right, New Berne, New
Bern, Newborn, or Newbern. It is
conceded that De Graffenried gave
the name to the place." - This pre
mise is followed up by Judge Allen
with the proof given below, together
"with his unimpeachable conclusions:
"'So this question Is ; how did De
Graffenried write the name and why?
By reference to is 'manuscript,
4 Colonial , ' Records), Volume 1 oh
page 923) it will be seen that he
writes it, 'New5 Bern' and the Swiss
translation makes this note: 'De
"Graff enried's orthography for New
bora, most of the time, is the Ger-
man form, New Bern.' He thorough
ly recognized his colony as distinctly
"German, though he and a small num
ber of them were Swiss. It was a
Siting act and there is significance in
It. To the suggestion that it should
be like the abbreviated termination
'ton' for town, as fwNewton, Maxtori,
etc., I should say there is no signifi
cance in the termination 'town' or
'ton for town and so it may be
blended into one word; but when a
town is named for some place I think
this liberty is"; never indulged' in.
For instance New York, New London,
New Bedford, etc. Let it be New
Bern, which means the place was set
tled by a German colony in charge of
a Swiss baron.".
. The headlines tell us that Senator
Vardaman carried ' a stick of wood
Into the Senate chamber and delib
erately whittled it to pieces sur
ronnded by a cluster of awe-struck
pages, while the . shavings piled up
on the soft carpet. This Is no doubt
to impress upon newspaper readers
of the country that he is truly a man
of the people. . What mars the im
pression is the Inevitable suspicion
of insincerity. Would Vardaman
have whittled shavings over his own
rich rugs in his own drawing room?
We doubt it. Consequently, we fear
he simply took this method of help
ing .gain a sort of notoriety that
would help him In his campaigns. We
have no objection to anybody tn of-j
flee or out of it being as simple and
democratic as he pleases, but that a

seen no one.
This statement from the maid is in
direct contradiction of the story she
now tells. The weight of the evi
dence of Mrs. Corbey was considered
treat notwithstanding the fact that
she is related to Mrs. Carman.
When Slosser retired the grand
jurors went into executive session
and there .was much speculation as
to what would come next. After de
liberating for a short time the ju
rors called back Frank J. Farrell.
the tramp, and asked him for a more
detailed description of the woman he
said he saw on the Carman lawn at
the time of -tfte shooting.
Mrs. Jennie : Duryea. mother of
the murdered woman, declared that
she believes Mrs. Carman was tem
porarily insane at the time her
daughter was killed.
"I believe Mrs. Carman is guilty."
declared Mrs. Duryea. "Why did she
come down stairs with a pistol in
her hand if she acted without pre
meditation? I fully believe that
Mrs. Carman was temporarily insane
when the shooting took place. If
she would confess that she didn't
mean to shoot my daughter I would
not want her punished. , But then
the question arises: What satisfac
tion would It be to me to have her
go to the chair? It would not bring
my poor little girl back.
"If any one wanted to murder my
daughter, why did that person do it
in the doctor's office? There was an
opportunity In the street or near her
own home. My daughter was a live
ly girl; she was always laughing, and
then,, when she went to see Dr. Car
man something was said that made
her laugh, Mrs. Carman heard her
laugh and came - down to see what
the laughter was about. It seems
very strange to me that Mrs. Conk
lin has not been questioned more f al
ly concerning her knowledge of the
events on the night of the. murder.
It strikes me that she knows more
than she has told." ' ,
Mrs. . Duryea;- declared her belief
that Mrs. Carman is relying upon her
beauty to make an .impression upon
members of thaT- srand inrr and that
it was for this reason she asked to
appear before that body. ; ;

If one were in doubht aa to which
sidr of the controversy to take, he
would be justified in giving weight to
the fact that organisation and on?
thuslasm are on the side of X those
who favor woman's suffrage. Organ
isation is an evidence of earnestness,
as well as of a comprehension of
subject. People do not associate
themselves together to secure a giv-
en end until they have reached a defl
nite conclusion in regard to its- de
sirability and feel that its acoonr
plishment is worth the effort for
which it calls. . It is quite evident
that those who disinterestedly desire
woman's suffrage are willing to make
greater sacrifices to secure it than
those who disinterestedly oppose wo
men's suffrage are willing to make
to prevent it ' . ' ... ;
As for myself, I am not in doubt
as to my duty. It is not my purpose
to discuss the subject with elabora
tlon at this time, but I desire to pre
sent the argument to which I give
the greatest weight. Without mini
mixing other arguments advanced in
support of the extending to suffrage
to woman, I place the emphasis upon
the mother's right to a voice, in
moulding' the environment which
shall surround her children an en
vironment which operates powerful'-"
ly'in determining whether her off
spring will crown her latter- wears
with joy or '-ring down her gray
hairs in sorrow to the grave.
The Creator has olaced UDon ' the
mother a burden which she could not
shift if she so desired and He has
given her the disposition to bear it.
Her life trembles In the balance at
the child's birth; her active years
are given to the care and nurture pf
her children; , her nerve force and
vital energy are expended in, their
behalf; her exhaust less love is pour
ed out upon them. Because the
wealth of her existence is bestowed
upon them,' they are a part of her
ery being "where your treasure
is. there will your heart be also.''
When one considers the cost of pa
ents, especially to the mother, of
raising a child, it seems impossible
that any one would attempt to lead
child astray or rob its parents of
the priceless regard to which they
are. entitled; and yet there are in
every geheration--aye, in every com-'
munity -those who are Inhuman en
ough to deliberately lie in wait to
make a wreckage of '" the lives of
young men and young women. They
lay snareB for them; they set traps
for them; and the men who ply this
ghastly trade for gain are allowed
to use the ballot to advance their
pecuniary Interests. , I am not will
ing to stay the mother's hand if she
thinks that by ; the use of suffrage
she can safeguard, the welfare of
those who are dearer to her than hei
own Iifei ' - v.:-
The mother can JuDtly claim the
right to employ every weapon which
can be made effective for the pro
tection of those whose interests she
guards, and the ballot will put with
in her reach all the instrumentalities
of government, including the police
power. If she is a. widow, there is
no one who is in a position to speak
for her in thlsx taatter of supreme
importance; If her husband is living,
she can supplement' his influence if
they agree as to what is best for
those under, their joint care if they
do not agree, who wflj say that only
the father Bhould he consulted?
For a time I was impressed by the
suggestion that the' question should
be left to the, women to decide a
majority to determine .whether the
franchise should be extended to wo
man; but I find myself less and less
disposed to endorse this test. Sam
uel Johnson coined an epigram whial?
is in point here, namely, that "no
man's conscience can : tell him the
right of another man." ' Responsibil
ity for the child'swelfare rests pri
marily upon the parent; the parent
receives in ' largest measure the
blessings that flow from the child's
life, if that life it nobly employed,
and upon the parent falls the blow
with severest force. Iff the child's
life is misspent. Why should any
mother, therefore, be denied the use
of the franchise to safeguard the
welfare of her child merely because
another mother may not view her
duty in the same light?, v
Politics will not suffer by woman s
entrance into It. If , the political
world has grown 'more pure in spite
of the evil Influences that have oper
ated to debase it, it will not be pol
luted by the presence and participa
tion of woman," ; Neither should we
doubt that woman can be trusted
with the ballot.' She-has proven her
elf equal to every responsibility Im
posed upon her; she will hot fail so
ciety in thia; emergency. ". Jet hei"
vote! And may that discernment
she has throughout the ages, ever
enable her to quickly . grasp great
truths make her "'the last at the
cross and the Urtt at the sepulchre1
--so direct her In ' the discharge of
her political duties an to add new
glories to her and through her still
further Mew society.' ; :tv. : v :
