NEW BERN, N. C. AUG. 27, 1912 NOTIC TO SUBSCRIBERS. The Journal has ent to all of its sub scribers staitemen's of subscription ac count InVgood many case we have received remittance in reply. But there are a great many of our subscrib er who have not taktn up to this time any notice of the s'attment. We will thank them to let us hear from them pmmp ly. Newspaper, like any othi r business enterprises, have to have money to pay their bills with. Thty have only two sources of revenue, sub scription receip a and leceipts from the sale of advertising. The ii.Come from neither source is suflLient to keep a paper going and very often it happens that the receipts from both sources is insufficient. We think that from what we have said, our subscribers will be prepared to draw lha conclusion that we are nee jing the money. We do, but .-.ven if we didn't we tbink our delinquent sub seribers would understand that thy mould not be relieved of their, just Ob ligations to us. Kindly let us hear from you. FARMERS' CONVENTION The program of the Farmers con vention to be held in Raleigh next week is a very attractive one. It shot Id draw a large number of the farmers of the State. Farmers who attend these meetings say they always get out of them milpi more than the cost and the loss of time incurred in attending them. Not only so, but they afford an admirable opportunity for the farmer to get a little outing and everyone knows that of all per sons he is entitled to it. THE WHY OF SOCIALISM. Whether - voting the ticket or not, men everywhere looking upon the awful injustice of this economic system are becoming socialistic in theory if not in conduct. Governor Marshall. The readiness of men to grab at Roosevelt's new party with its social istic tendencies shows that there is much of truth in what Governor Mar shall says. There has got to be a change- in the system or the socialist oartv will eventually get in control. The change is promised by the Demo cratic party and under the guidance of Wilson and Marshallit will deliver the goods. . GOT BUSY QUICKLY. The American National Bank of Wil mington got into the game of raising money for the Wilson campaign fund without delay. President W. B. Cooper writes the Star: - "At the request of Mr. W. G. McAdoo acting chairman we beg to say that we shall be only too glad to accept con tributions for the Woodrow Wilson cam paign fund. .Such contributions will be forwarded promptly to" the committee in New York. The officers and employes of this bank have ' al ready subscibed 120.00 to the fund. Wc nuM Kj. erlaff tn rprplv finv amounts. however small or however large. "A Governor 'Wilson once lived in our good city, we hope the contribu tions to help elect him President will be large.",' . V ,;. I SHALL WE BE SO EASILY EX J CELLED? i'..or-y. The little town of Washington ha sent the News and Observer fifty dol lars for the Wilson campaign fund. We know of only twenty two dollars that ha come out of New Bern as yet, twelve dollars subscribed through the Journal and ten dollars sent to the r.'cws and Observer before the Journal started its fund. We think very likely that there were i V.r subscript ions through the Newt 1 Observer that escaped our atten i !, luit we doubt if altogether New ii 1ms t von aa much aa the sanilui ;i if Washington. ! i s's p t busy and not let a smaller (' t , hc u in the praiseworthy U ; of rai-ixg money fur the ii i i the m !iio!.n,):4er statesman -I, 1 1 ...:r. . SHOULD BE MADE A CRIME A Richmond woman the other day made an unsuccessful attempt at sui cide. She was arrested and given a hearing before the police justice of the city on the charge of "attempting suicide." It 'developed that there was no law in Virginia against attempting suicides, .' '' The Times-Dispatch, discussing this matter, says there ought to be a law making the attempt of suicide a crime and providing a . suitable penalty. It argues that a considerable percen tage of attempted suicides are unsuc cessful and for that reason there might be some deterrent influence in an inta suicide law. " A man's life is not his own. He has no right to take what is not his own. It should be a crime in every State for a person to attempt to commit Suicide. 7 When a person commits an act which he thinks concerns Only himself he is not apt to give to it the consideration that he would give it if it had been made a matter of legis lation and thus of public concern. So when a person considers suicide and remembers that it has been made, in the judgment of his fellows, a crime, hc is more apt to go slowly than he would be if he thought that his fellows had passed on the matter .and come to the conclusion that his life was his own to be disposed of as he saw fit. PIE IN PARTY-BUILDING Wake county Republicans are al ways divided. Republicans every where are badly divided but the divi sion is sharper and the feeling appar ently bitterer in Wake than almost anywhere else. Lately there has been going on between Lester F. Butler and Postmaster Willis G. Briggs of Raleigh, a spirited newspaper controversy and in his latest effusion Butler gets back to that inevitable subject of pie. But for the promise of the Raleigh post office, Mr. Butler says, Briggs never would have become a Republican anyhow. One of the ways the Republicans have gained new converts has been by the use of Federal office. They have been in a way unselfish in their devotion to the party for every time they bought a convert with a Federal job they of course had to make one of their own number do without said job. It's no concern of a Democrat ex cept on purely academic grounds, but it would certainly seem that the policy that has been pursued has not been a good one for building up a party. The horse that pulls the plow should have the fodder, and the old line Republi cans when they see the offices going to the recruits are apt to get estranged. The best way to get recruits is to have a Presidential candidate like Wood row Wilson to whom the young men voting for the first time and indepen dents looking for the best man for any place that is to be filled will just natur ally gravitate. NEW BERN'S PRIME NEED. During the heavy thunder storm Thursday night a large piece of thestucco on the front of the city hall came loose and crashed to the sidewalk. At the same time Lieut. -Gaskill was busying himself distributing buckets about the floor of the police court room, to catch the water that came through the roof. No use talking, New Bern should have a new city hall. The city could sell the old ruin that is now used as a city hall and fire house for business purposes for enough money to buy a more desirable site and pay the cost of construction of a modern building. NO MAN INDISPENSABLE ' Colonel Roosevelt maintains that he is the original trust-buster. ' Grant ing for the sake of argument that he is, there are good and sufficient rea sons why his once great popularity is rapidly waning, one of the principal one being that he seems to have come to the conclusion that he is indispen sable to the country's future prosperity and happiness and this ' country is too democratic to indulge any man in t jcb a delusion as that. Roosevelt's overweening vanity has caused a great multitude of people in this country to turn away from him in disgust. Let his trust-busting rec ord be what it may, and according to Senator LaFollette trusts multiplied under his administration of the nation' affairs, his record for egotism is abun dant to keep him on the shelf the remain der of his life. There is no man indispensable In this country. " . THE LIFE OF AYCOCK The Journal acknowledges the re ceipt of a copy of "The Life and Speech es of Charle B. Aycock" by R. T, W. Connor and Clarence Poe. . It is from the press of Doubleday, Page ft Com pany, Garden City, N. Y.t and is all that could be wished typographically. A cursory glance" through the book confirms previous impressions bated on the reputation of the authors that the subject has been worthily handled. Messrs'. Connor and Poe are capable and thorough In whatever they under take and the Aycock book reflects these characteristics. s It makes a notable accession to that list of books which every one . who aspires to a well-stocked North Caro lina library must have and which every one who loves hit Stat and rejoices in the n( liievcments of her sons and d.tuthter out't to have. KITCHIN'S FALLACIES ' Ashcville Gazette News.1 '.. ' ; : One of Governor ' Kitchin's stock arguments as to why he should dis place Senator Simmons is . that the Senator voted 19 times against the Democratic majority in 11 years; " he knows and the people who read know that 13 of these votes Included 12 votes for amendments offered by him self and others to the reciprocity bill and one was against the bill itself and yet he keeps on using this argument. . He also continues to attack Senator Simmons for his vote on the recipro city bill knowing full well that thereby he also assails Congressmen Webb, Doughton and Gudger, who voted the same way.- The eighth, ninth and tenth are close districts, too; the natural tendency of these efforts .aimed to destroy' Senator Simmons, is to the destruction of his colleagues in the house from these districts. If Senator Simmons is wrong and is out of line with his party, so are they wrong and out of line with the party. , But even that would be more nearly defensible if reciprocity were an issue in the campaign. As a matter of fact the Democratic National Convention ignored the reciprocity question and so did Governor Wilson in his speechof acceptance. But whatever affords Governor Kit- chin a means for his particular kind of political warfare is never disproved by the facts and never dies. Congress iss certainly entitled to praise for developing the facts re garding the campaign contributions of the Standard Oil Company. These are the same contributions that Judge Parker claimed were being made in 1904 and the making of which Mr. Roosevelt vehemently denied. The revelations in this connection should have the effect of tremendously boost ing the Wilson cause. Taft and Roosevelt so far as their relations to the aggregations of capital controlled by the privilege seeking class are concered are with tarred with the same stick. Wilson's skirts are clean. TARIFF TAXATION Majority Leader Underwood is out with a statement in which he shows that there is hardly anything that a man buys that is not tariff-taxed. It is passing strange how patiently the people of this country have borne the burden of supporting the "infant industries." Had they paid all this money out in direct taxes they would have thought themselves the most oppressed people in the world and it is entirely probable that there would have been a revo lution brought on by such injustice. But sugar-coated with the specious pleas of the brief-holders for the "in fant industries," these bitter pills of taxation have been heedlessly swallowed by the people, who never dreamed that they were being heartlessly duped the while. BOTH SENATORS TO ENTER THE CAMPAIGN Washington, Aug 23. Immediately after Congress adjourn', Senator Simmon and Overman will take a sh rt rest and then put themselves at the disposal of Chairman Webb of the State Democratic committee for. .the campaign. ... ' Senator Simmons' friends say that he will not enter Into any controversy with his apponents but win make clear cut Democratic speeches- There Is not to be a joint debate between him and any other Democrat, but he Will, - It ia understood, join issue. with Republi can stumpers. , ' ' ' SENATOR NOT TO SUE ;.; SHELB Y HIGHLANDER Shelby, Aug. 2L Clyde R.

Waters & Co whole sale lumber dealers of Baltimore, and president of the Mount Washington Club, auaounced yesterday that next November, for the first time in his life he expects to forsake the standarda of the national Republican party and to cast his ballot for Gov. Woodrow Wil son for President "I h ve voted the Republican ticket in national elections since 1881," he de clarod, "and east my ballot at the last Presidential election far Tift, bnt my mail object now, so far as the national political si'uation Is concerned, is to defeat Taft. and, for that reason, I will Support W lson, the strongest man in the fie'd." . ' .'; V v "Whut are your objections to Mr. TaftT'he was asked. ; "His administration hat demonstrat ed that he has not had the interests of the business men of this country at heart, and consequently, that he has ignored the real interests of the people at large. I waa eured of Taft when he took his stand for Balllnger in the Bellinger-Pinchot controversy. He showed himself incapable of handling the situat ion, and if the affair had not become public I believe the wliota of Alaska whuld have fallen into the bands of the Ballinger interests. Mr. Taft is not bm id it his views on conservation, as his administration has shown. He has liotened to the wrong kind of advice, and. I believe, would do so sgain. "Th te is no reason in the world why any D mocrat in the country should fail to support Governor Wilson with all his heart. Wilson is a good man, and the kind of a man to have a good Cabinet There will be no political pull allowed in the appointm nt of that Cabinet.' Wilson is abore that. CONFEREES AGREE ON THE GOOD ROADS BILL Washington, Aug. 22 The conferees on the postoffice appropriation bill reached an rgreament late this after noon. One of the most important items In the bill is the Simmons aid to good roads proposition, blch aa amended, provides an annual appropriation of $500,000 for improving roads over which rural delivery of mail is made. The or iginal bill aa proposed by Senator Sim mons provided for an appropriation of 1 1.000, 000. but a compromise was made and the amount cut in half, 'v Senator Simmons said he would have preferred the house plan to his own, but in lieu of this he was greatly de lighted at the adoption by the conferees of Lis own bill. It is understood the conference report will be adopted with out oppositun. The 'Bourne parcels post syti m, which was also adopted, was quite p'i asing to the senior sena tor. It is believed it (will reasonably satisfactory both to the farmers and to the merchant. ;:':, Governor WUaon, our nominee, ia partly' a North Carolina man; he waa the favorite of our people for the nomination, and our support tended greatly to bring about his nomination.

HOLTOfl A I Comments Vigorously on That Villainous Piece -of Road. r ; FIGHT TO BE KEPT UP Says Farmers Won't Relax r Efforts Until Road is Improved. . " ; Mr. A. S. Holton of Olympia was one of the most recent visitors at the Jour nal office to protest against the' condition of that villainous piece' of corduroy road the other side of Bridgeton. He was in yesterday morning. . . ' . . "If you have any doubts about the losses to which the people of Reelsboro and that xsect ion are subjected on ac count of this road," he said, "just go around to any of the groceries and see the quantities of broken and scrambled eggs there are ';' to be " thrown' out. Ask the reason and you will find that, thia was hen fruit .that farmers attempted to bring to market over that corduroy road." -, . ."You may ge tired of hearing us farmers talk about this terrible stretch, about a mile of watersoaked logs, on a level with the water on each side, but I tell you we are not going to let up on the thing till ditches are dug on each side. v " "All the County Commissioners would have to do would be to ditch the road, throw the material up over the logs and then use a split log drag over the road thus made. It was all I could do to stay in my buggy as I came over that stretch tl is morning. Can hardly get a wagon over it at all." Want Wilson elected Prealdent? If ao, lend a hand.
