The coming of the State Building
and Loan League" to this city will
mean much for us as a city of home
owners. They are here today from
all parts of the State and today and
tomorrow they will tell how the peo
ple in other cities are building nice
homes and how the people are learn
ing the saving habit and becoming
better citizens. These men are not
in this work for pay or what .they
can make out of it. They are in the
work because a city that is full of
homes and home owners makes a
better city in which to -live and do
business. They are in the work be
cause it gives them a better oppor
tunity to help their fellow citizens
and improve and develop their cities.
Such towns as Asheville, Wilmington
and Charlotte owe much to their de
velopment and growth to the build
ing and loan associations and the
men who have built up these asso
ciations and this development are
here to show and tell lis how we can
do it here in Raleigh.
The State League is composed of
onlv the legitimate building and loan
associations of the State and no "wild
cat ' association is admitted as a
member. The associations in this
league are working for the members
and to build homes and develop the
city and community and not to make
money for any set of officers or in
dividuals who are. looking for a big
salary. -
Raleigh is just entering upon the
greatest period of building and
growth in her history and homes are
going up all over this city and it is
to be hoped that this will . continue
and that the future 'will bring the
results of the good work being done
now. Raleigh is awake to the won
derful opportunity that is before her
and the people are interested as nev
er before In the question of saving
and building homes. The fact thai
one association in this city is build
ing number'; of nice houses all over
the city for 'people who are stock
holders has made the citizens of this
city take notice. Hundreds of our
best citizens are taking stock and
planning to build homes, while oth
ers are taking stock and saving mon
ey which they never would have
saved had it not been for the build
ing and loan association.
This meeting marks an epoch In
the history and life of tills city and
on behalf of the people of the capital
city we extend a hearty welcome to
the "Home Builders." Your mes
sage is a message of cheer, happiness,
and progress and the best that we
have Is yours. Your work Is the no
blest and best being done in behalf
of our people.. and we trust that the
spirit that fills you as it league will
be absorbed by every citizen of this
city and that when you visit us again
you will And us not In the beginning
of this wonderful and progressive
work, but one of the leaders In build
ing the greatest of all our great In
stitutions -"The Home."
Baltimore and Norfolk continue to
have trouble in getting their dog or
dinances enforced. They are having
and have been having some time the
tame kind of trouble that Raleigh
MUNCIU
had last year. Of the condition in
.. .,
"It was reported in The Sun yes-
terday that three children were bitten 1
by dogs on Monday. With a vigorous I
enforcement of the ordinance requir -
ing dogs to be muzzled securely there
would be few occurrences of this j
kind. Children would be safe f rom '
attack and the public would be assur -
ed of protection. One of these dogs
was not licensed. If the ordinance
were enforced strictly there would be
few unlicensed dogs at large in Bal
timore. It is evident that the law
is not obeyed as it should be, and that
those who are charged with the duty
of enforcing it are not energetic as
they might be.
"Public opinion in Baltimore de
mands that the law shall be carried
out to the letter, that all persons who
do not conform strictly to the re
quirements of the ordinance
shall
pay the penalty."
Reproducing and commenting on
the above The Norfolk I.edger-Dis-patch
says:
"It is only a matter of time when
some such ocourrnnees will arouse
public sentiment here to the full en
forcement of the muzzling ordinance
here. The fact that hundreds of
dogs are running 'at large -in violation
of 'the law speaks plainly enough for
the- enforcement of the city ordin
ances." Through agitation' here the situa
tion has been greatly improved and
with the .present- proper attention to
duty by the -'officers there is little
danger of the city 'becoming so thor
ouglily overrun with dogs as it was , with the smith's .representative, men.

tent Ion' is being paid to keeping
those (hat remain within bounds. All
that is needed now is a good strong
muzzling ordinance. With this Ral
eigh would be able to fully protect
herself from these worthless mon
grels. -
The New York World prints some
figures which show the wonderful
growth of industrial enterprises and
the bigness of fortunes in this coun
try, t says;
"The incorporation in the 1'nited
States during May of railroad, indus
trial, and other companies having a
capital stock of $2.jS,4'i9,Mi gives ah
idea of the wonderful commercial
expansion of the country. Incidental
testimony to the same effect is fur
nished by the speedy absorption bv
investors of the $ in. mill, (loo issue of '
