Winstcu-Salfhi Journal.
If the News and Observer still
speaks for the Democratic organiza
tion in North Oaa»ina, the organiza
tion is not at ill alarmed by the re
ports in gome - quarters mat "big
busiue-s” in this State is merely
looking for n goon excuse to go Ue
pnblieun.
j The Journal quoted last Sunday
an editorial from the pen o i Arclii
buld JohUson, a 1 leiticerai. Vno
didn’t hesitate to express the, view
that •‘there i« in this section df the
country a steadily grow
ing element who arc ready tfl cart off
thei party collar. The gfbat thanm.
facturern, for instance, are some
what restive under Democratic rule
and are waiting lor onjy an excuse
to land in the Republican camp. The
' number of these men Vi* steadily
growing. PSrty shibboieths count
for very little with these voters.
They care nothing for Smith’s re
ligion or his views, on . prohibition.
They are interested only in financial
policies and they believe the Republi
cans are soinuler on the money
question than the Democrats.”
The News ami Observer denies,
this ami calls attention to the fol
lowing facts, of record:
“Among the great Industrial
counties containing the most in
fluential ‘great manufacturers’ *rc
Mecklenburg. Gaston, Cabarrus,
Rowan. Guilford. Forsyth, Ala
mance. Durham, Wake. Buncombe,
ito mention only the big _ counties
where big factories, are located. If/
one of the.-e counties, with pbssibfy '
one exception, the Democratic J ma
jorities have steadily increased.
More thatr That: the Repußßtan
party, once Influential in syich coun
ties. for example, as Forsyth and
Durham, has steadily lost’caste and
influence."
I Mr. Daniels _ thinks rnat Mr.
j Johnson may or may not be right in
some of his observations and is
, inclined to believe that he probably
As, but is certain that the veteran
Editor of Charity and Children is
nil wrong "in uceeptiug the muclw
repeated and as Often exposed button
that ‘great manufacturers’ are apt
to carry North Carolina Republican
in State or National elections.”
Mr. Daniels thinks that Mr. John
son "has failed to observe the ten
dency cf the vute and the underly
ing truth that Nofth Carol.nu, in
doctrinated by Thomas Jefferson and
Nathaniel Macon, i. a w*-k.ribbed
Democratic State on and
fundamental Democratic principles."
•‘lt is quite true,” Mr. Daniels
adds, "that some men, brought up in
the faith, are ready to barter it in
the hope-of getting a tariff or tax
euMkly, but they arc fewer than is;
believed, and those who are ready
to do this can control very few, votes
—sometimes not even tlieir own.” j

Will Make it impossible to Run

Raleigh Times.
North Carolina’s next year auto
mobile license tages will make It
impossible to operate a twiu six on
a license brought for a four cylinder
car, according to Sprague® Silver,
head of the automobile license bu
reuu of the State Department <Jf
Revenue.
An initial letter or some' other
symbol will precede the figures on
the license plate and will enable in
i speetors to tell at a glance into just
j which classification the car being
operated will fall. At present there
| are four classifications of pleasure
ears, according to horse'power. and
the license cost ranges from sl2-50
to $40.00.
The contract for the new license
plates was recently awarded the
Western ’ Display Company, of St.
Paul, the same concern which made
the plates last year. It, is estimated
that four hundred thousand will be
required.
Plates will have a black back
ground with figures in white and
will be smaller than this year’s
plates being 5x15 inches instead of
«xl«. They will cost the State noout
ten thousand dollars less than this
year's.

Where Caution May Save Life.
St. Paul Pioneer P/css-
Why, of all places, do so many
automobiles stall on railroud cross
ings?
Os course frequency of the occur
rence is due to driver's panic in
prrseuce of danger. Fasten your
gaze /some day upon a speeding
locomotive; imagine you suddenly
discovered it rushing toward you
just beftn-c you had driven up<jn a
grade crosiug. Would it not be easy,
applying all the brakes, to some to a
stop, with the engine killed, oh Hie
i crossing itself?
Then imagine yourself, with not
too many instants to lose, staring
fascinated at the approaching mon
ster while seeking desperately for
starter, thrott’c and gear-shift all ?it
once. Would't it be easy to blunder—
to be caught as so many arc, stand
ing helplessly on the crossing? The
motorist, stalled on a grade crossing
is in aba dfix. But it is a pre
dicament that may be avoided by
approaching the grade crossing al
ways with the car under perfect
control.
Keep out of that emergency which
induces drivers's panic.

how the state of North Carolina two

At tlnii time an active effort was

ipprbpriation of a few hundred

the university's medical coursi* from
