The "contemptable little British
army" seems to be proving more
than a match for the War Lord's
most seasoned veterans, and it
may well be that England is de
termined to fight to the last Ger
man instead of the last French
man as so feelingly stated by
the American hyphenates.
Parks And Playgrounds
It may look like a far cry to
some who have not thought
about the matter from the Roa
noke Rapids of the present day
with its free wide spaces of sun
and air to the Roanoke Rapids of
our children hemmed in with
concrete and brick, possibly con
gested with mills and dwellings
and, unless something is done
now, more than probably devoid
of park space and playground.
The experience of practically
every American town which ha
been subjected to the rapid ex
pansion of commercial and in
dustrial development has been
an uniform one - parks and
playgrounds have been ignored
We quote from the New
Times:
the following illuminating editor
ial anent the campaign plea of
the Republicans that the Demo
cratic prosperity is a war fed
exotic, destined to wither away
like Jonah's gourd vine with the
first dawn of peace. After men
tioning the enormous foreign
trade of the United States, with
exports in excess of imports by
nearlv a billion and a half, the
Times proceeds to demolish the pa"y
Republican high tariff argu
ments, stating in part as follows:
If we are to enter world mar
kets it must be on the basis of
world prices. For the first seven
months of this year our exports
increased practically a billion.
I Imports increased nearly a half
j billion. War exports did not
imake our exports increase by
i that sum unless we include in
j that category raw materials for
j manufacture, and foodstuffs.
That is to say, what might be
I called our normal trade abroad
:is thriving without the war
i trade, if the two trades can be
supposed to be separated.
"On the other hand, thatjnor-j
mal trade cannot be imagined to
exist without imports. Foreign
buyers could not have sent an
other half billion of gold, and it
is sanguine to suppose that we
would have taken an additional
half billion of securities, either
our own cr foreign. It is easy to
imagine that we might have ex
ported more goods if we could
have produced them, and would
have admitted more goods. When
the war trade ceases our product
ive capacity of other goods will be
unlimited, and we must either
produce and sell or close our
factories. It is the exchange of
goods for goods that keeps
factories busy on both sides the
ocean. It is the hindrance to the
exchanges of goods that closes
factories, enlarges and disturbes
international currents of gold,
and makes bankers prosper
while traders languish.
right here in Roanoke Rapids is
shown by the enormouse increase
in deposits of the First National
Bank of Roanoke Rapids and the
Rosemary Banking & Trust Com-
The First National Bank of
Roanoke Rapids has increased
its deposits from $121,570.16
on September 13, 1915 to $221.
718.75 on September 13. 1916,
and the Rosemary Banking &
j Trust Company has increased
! its deposits from ?2o,5z5.50
jon September 12, 1915, to $51,
(375.57 in 1916. All told about
$126,000.00 of assets in the most
readily available form have been
stored up in this community dur
ing the year just ended. While
this does not represent, of
course, even an approximate:
estimate of the total addition !
made to the wealth of the com- i
munity, it does represent the
amount of saving the majority j
of the people have effected, and
it is gratifying testimony to the j
real prosperity we are now hav
ing. Also it should an be added in
centive for thrift and economy -those
who collectively have saved
the eighth of a million will need
no extraneous inducement, but
to those who have had no part or
parcel in the undertaking, the
figures should be convincing ar
guments both as to the possibil
ity and the value of steady, con
sistent saving.

early days of the town's develop

high when realization of the
need of park and pay-ground
pace has been forcibly pressed
home.
It is only lately that growing
towns have begun to profit from
the experience of their larger
sisters. Civic pride has realized
the necessity of breathing space
and foresight has impressed the,
need of its acquisition while
conditions are most favorable.

is, all that will be consistent with
vigor in foreign trade. Protec
tion for the sake of protection
and raising our prices above
the world's level is a prescrip
tion for poisoningprosperity; With
in the necessary limitsof taxation
for the sake of revenue there is
ample room for difference
opinion as to what protection is
best and may best be secured.
But the days of high and higher
protection have gone. The peo
ple have twice vetoed it, and the
Democrats have appointed a
commission to prevent the peo
ple from being twice duped.
