Northern philanthropists who havi been organizing societies lor the beiu -fit of what they chose to designate .is the "poor whites" oi the North Can -Una mountains, have had their at ten tion directed to the discovery of a lew order of civilization in New Jersey in less than a hundred miles of New York city. It is believed , intimates the Charlotte Observer, that in the future less will be said by these Northern people about the necessities of the mountain whites of North Carolina and the Observer has ottered to arrange to have missionaries sent from the North Carolina coves to the New Jersey heathen, the latter being, from descrip tions given, immeasurably more de praved than any class of eople in this state. Bur we think it possible that eer tain North Carolinians have been too severe on the Northern folks wi n have been solicitous about North Carolina people who have not had many advantages in the way of education. So good an authority as larcnce Poc aid the other day that North Carolina educationally is in a (lass with Mexico. All the religious denomina tions of the Slate have regularly or ganized propaganda for the benefit o mission fields in the Stat'' and ignor ance is one of the problems. There is much to be desired in connection with the State's educational facilities and it is a question if well meant if somewhat distasteful proflers of aid should be scorned, 'he natural impulse is one of scorn, we well know. liui ignorance is a serious affliction and we are not sure that to brusquely thrust aside any tender which means i In lessening of ignorance to an substan tial degree is jtistili ibl. It is characteristic of the South to be careful of the feelings of others. The tender of assistance is as we have said well meant if accompanied some times by exaggerate'! statements as to the needs of the so called destitute sections of the State. Is noi the cor rect attitude one of indulgent acquie scence in the wishes of those who want in this way to expend their surplus lunds? THE DOCTOR A BIT PEPPERY. it seems that Woodrow Wilson let a little human nature crop out in one of his speeches in Staunton, to wit, in the reference to those Virginians who fought his nominal ion on the ground that he was dangerous and who since his nomination have been approving all he has said. The (iovernor, we think this little incident show.-, has quite a streak of human nature in his make-up. Congressman Flood, the right hand man in Virginia of Thomas F. Fortune, is supposed to have been the man whom the Doctor was hitting at. Flood was among the most demonstra tive of those who welcomed the President-elect and it must be confessed that he exhibited considerable nerve. In administering a rap to him, Mr. Wilson simply did what was, as we have said, entirely natural for a man with a rfornud dislike for a hypocrite to do and also followed the example set by Bryan in Baltimore in making no bones of making it warm for what he conceives to be the Democrat it wolves in sheep's clothing. Flood is said to have made the best oi an awkward situation hut it is easy lo imagine that inwardly he gnashed his teeth and that henceforth, if not completely rowed, he will be bus sharpening his knife. WHISKEY AND CIGARETTES. l.ittie satisiaction is to he loumt in the fact disclosed by recent statistics that the consumption of beer decreased during the 191 fiscal year, for lhi was more than effset by the increased use of whiskey and rum. Of these lat ter poisons there were produced dur ing this period the record quantity of 188,000,000 gallons, or 1.1,000,000 gal Ions more than for 1011. Increased whiskey consumption is accompanied by a corresponding increase in the use of cigarettes, ll.xxl, 64,0X1 coffin nails having been driven in 191 c, an increase t ,000.000,000 over 1911. Whether alcohol is responsible for the increased use of cigarettes, or vtee versa, it is needless to speculate. The important fact is that the demand for poisons is increasing, stimulated by our wrong .habits of civilsation vicious food and drink, worry, dies, hurry, and lack of exercise. - Board o( Health.

There wiil always, we believe, be unions in this country. In. fact wc regard them as necessary to prevent the poor man from being kept in a slate of serfdom by heartless employers. And the digrace of a "dynamiters' special" in view of the benevolent aims of unionism has something ol the tra gic about it. rHE MENACE OF SOCIALISM. Darwin P. Kingsley, president of the New York Life Insurance Com pany, says that Socialism is the next great problem this country har to face. Discussing the result of the November election, he says: "The significant happening was not the success ol the Democratic candidate, nor the humiliation of the Grand Old Party, nor the startling vote of -the Progressives. The significant thing was the Socialist vote. Right there lies the next great problem this country is to face." The attitude of the industrial work ers will give President -elect Wilson serious trouble in the judgment ol Mr. Kingsley and it cannot be doubted that he is right. Governor Wilson .however, is prepared, we be lieve, for some such difficulties as Mr. find out for itself what the rea1 facts of a qu?stion is.

No one knows, or ever will know, jut how many. The principal fact is that somewhere between sixteen and twemy thousand of these deaths was preventable. They were from such causes as tubercu losis, typhoid feyer, pneumonia, whoop ing cough, measles, scarlet fever, di arrheal diseases of children, etc. How many from each one? No one knows. Among what class of people? what occu pat ions? Darng what months, etc.? No one knows or ever will know. All we do know is that, based on estimates from the larger cities and towns, something like this terrible fatality has occurred. What is to be done about it .' That is the problem of public health. The first intelligent thing to be done would, of coarse, be to get a correct measure of each one of the several causes of death. Then we will be able to meas ure the decrease from month to month and year to year caused by any line of health work, directed against a par ticular disease. If it is found that in a given county we prevent more death: from tubcmltoBis per SI, 000 spent against that disease, why we do agajst s'nne other disease, w)y we will light tuberculosis. When that diease is reduced so that it costs more to pre vent further deaths from it then from some other cause, why the guns of public health will be turned on to the next easiest disease to combat. There is little wisdom shown in Irv ing to do a little health work, shot gun fashion, all along the line, with out knowing where or how much good, i! any, really has been done. Let's know where we are at and what we are doing, then go ahead. In oilier words, let's do health work in a logical way, let's do it on a vital statistics basis, but let's not lei this coming Legis lature get away without giving ihe people of North Carolina a state-wide vital statistics law. -Hoard of Health.
