We understand that this pro position will be so modifed that one half of the cost of the entire road will be paid by the town of Roanoke Rapids and the other half will be raised by private subscriptions from the rest of the community. Although this latter proposition will not dis tribute the cost of this road so equitably as if the entire road were laid out of the public road funds, it is the fairest pro position that has been made and it is probably the fairest the town can obtain. The Dresent cemetery road is disgraceful and some step should be decided upon immediately which will insure at least a de cent approach to the cemetery before another winter sets in. 1 The Cemetery road must flot be allowed to become a dead issue. Have you loosened up for the baseball deficit? Well we'll get $315,000,000.00 of preparedness, anyhow 1 We'll soon know how "Maine went". Servia is another corpse that won't stay dead. French gain three miles - going Somme! Never fool with a fool -- he may fool you. It all goes to show you cannot beat the Deutschland. Not only King Cotton, but also Princess Nicotine! A Judgement Coning To Daniels No Jubilee movement has been started yet by the Brotherhood of small boys looking toward the opening of the schools early in September. What has become of the old fashioned Board of Trade that used to agitate in Roanoke Rap ids for a free bridge, a greater city and a new hotel? "Archduke Karl Succeeds Von Hindenburg" - a step we suspect meets with the entire approval of the Russian General Staff. President Wilson will be noti fied of his renomination for Pre dent by the Democratic party on September 2. We think it is ab solutely crool the way these poli tical parties keep their candi dates in suspense for so long. The proof of the pudding is in the eating sayeth ye old saw and many there be who -walked the cemetery road Sunday for the first time in months and who are vehement in their belief that something ought to be done about it right way. A Correction is Made We hasten to correct a state ment made in the editorial head ed "Perseverance Necessary" which appeared in last week's EERALD. The statement that "the County Road Board has declined to act, tendering a counter proposition to have a road opened up by the town of Roanoke Rapids along Fifth Street....." was inaccurate. The Road Board proposed that the Town of Roanoke Rapids build a road from Roanoke Avenue to the corporate limits along Fifth Street and that the rest of the community by voluntary contrib ution complete the road from the corporate limits to the Cemetery, The Board also offered to guarantee the maintenance of this road until the Town of Roa noke Rapida should open up Fifth Street, which will pro bably not, be done for several years. , According to this proposition the town of Roanoke Rapids would, only have to construct about half of the road in lineal feet fetit considerably more than half in dollar and cents as the greater portion of the swamp, cross which would road con ttruction would be abnormally expsshre, lies is the corporate President Wilson once explain ed that he reached his conclu sions regarding affairs in Mexico by listening to liars talk, and then balancing off their stories. Similarly the American people may eventually arrive at a just estimate of the administration of Josephus Daniels in the navy de partment; but probably they will get the best line on the situation on or about March 4, next, in case Mr. Wilson is re-elected. If Mr. Daniels is retained in the next cabinet his assailants may as well shut up. The northern press wjthout ex ception, so far as we have seen, is howling for Daniels' head. Even the World, the administra tion mouthpiece, after the Tip- perary episode, put the wither ing inquiry of why should a navy that has Josephus Daniels for secretary want to sing? On the other hand, a few months ago the Weld devoted a page to an able defense of Mr. Daniels by George Creel; and since then he has found another defender in an English observer, who gave high praise to the efficiency of the na vy under his administration. However, the Sun finds one of its chief arguments againBt the administration in the slogan, "A vote for Wilson is a vote for Daniels." The! Hearst papers are eternally after him, and one of the favorite indoor sports of the 15-cent magazines for some time has been having Daniels written ud by their fanciest muckrakers. Much of this criti cism is obviously based on mal ice-the snarls of disappointed contract-seekers, and disgruntled officers. But some of it, as, for instance the article by Burton J. Hendrick in the World's Work, appears to be honest, The propitiation of the Bryan element in the Democratic party is given by all hands as the ex planation of Daniels' presence in the cabinet If Mr. Wilwn is re elected, that explanation will be removed in his second cabinet for he will owe no debt to the Bryan element The one man who knows whether' Daniels is help or a hindrance to the ad ministration is, of course, the President The hue and cry af ter the secretary of the navy is not likely to become so great as to force the President to the em barrassing necessity of throwing him to the wolves before the election; but afterward, if he is successful, there is no reason why Mr. Wilson should continue to carry an encumbrance; nor, if Mr. Daniels has been efficient, will there be any reason why he should dispense with a good of ficial merely to satisfy critics who have already done their worst If the Democrats lose the elec tion there will he no way on earth of judging (he Daniels ad' ministration except by the Pres ident's policy of balancing lies. i a. ; m a I it a dui li iney win, me question oi wneitier ma itiuuenro on Ine navy department has been good or bad will resolve itself into, will he. or will he not, be in the next cabinet? -Greensboro Daily New.
