It recognizes their value to their respective communities a id it reckons on deriving benefit for itself from their presence and Counsel While we all here in New Hern are citizens of no mean city, we don't for get that there other places and if there is anything we can letrn from them or their messengers we want to learn it. So we welcome our visitors be cause we expect to learu from them and if there is anything we can do for ihem In return, why the pleasure will be all ours. The Bureau of Municipal Research semis out some literature headed "Do you apply efficiency tests to your city administration?" Unfortunately most people iu most places are too busy to give the city administration any thought But ol course efficiency ttsts should be applied. it is well enough to note th.it the -official nam of the new postal service is parcel post not panels post. The Postoftice Department is saving of lettert in it spelling. An exchange says, "Charge for the advice you hand out, if you want peo ple to take it." Well ,that is the kind f advice that is usually taken, but wi haven't heard of anybody failing to charge for it. The earthquake appears to have passed New Eera by Only the good things befall this town. RECALL OR SHORTER TERMS? In view of the discussion about the recall, would not shorter terms answer the same purpose? If you get a bad egg in drawing a public official, the sooner there is an opportunity to turn it loose the better, lake New York City for example. It lengthened the rerm of its Mayor to eight or as it six? yeasi and the very first shot Hit of the box it drew an irascible old gentleman whom it would have been glad to get rid. of in any year since his election. The single term, which is ijow enjoying a season of public en dorsement, is well enough, but c are not so sure that the accompanying desire for a loftgerterm is not inspired by a popular aversion for the extra effort involved in frequent elections. A HINT TO THE WISE. It is hardly necessary to remind the live merchant of New Bern that tht jh..-i pust, nu in euct i, is a golden opportunity for then'. In the rura districts there are thousands of peopl wtio seldom get to the ciiy, but who would like to har advantage of th citys stores, these tan be reached best through the papers circulating in the country districts and of these there is none better as an sdveitising medium than the Semi-Weekly Journal. It a household word in many homes -astern Neta arolina. It is read Closely advertisements as well as news matter. ine parcel post makes the cost of transportation a mere trifle. The irerch-snt then simply has to defer!! his wares in a way to catch the fancy of the prospective purchaser or to give such information as is needed to enable one to know whether or not he wants a given article. Now is the time to solicit the business of the rural dweller through the col umita of a newspaper that circulates through the,; rural districts. Such papW is tr.

They are ready to roakt- liberal use of the parrels post by ordering from (he stores 'that are fwogrtsstve enough to make a prompt wnitiiuon W taejr business. rAi'MLM t3 1 - . vwm a.migmy tinny an- When he can't find anything else M da he pardon I criminal. ; There waa ka inevitable mel! of d about the final speech in the Senate Senator Jjk.

Few public men were so much 'idicn'ed at he. But the hold that he had on tht people of Arkansas indicated that he had some qualities of strength. Much of the criticism made of him, roo, wa doubtles ill advised. What :ver-is unconventional and irregular call for r.dicule and once ridicule n connection with a public man is started, there is na telling where ;t will top. U becomes the fashion, for men in their thinking, like fish, run in schools and it is seldom that the individual dares to think differently from the great majority of his fellows. Odd and bizarre as Jeff Davis was, we have no doubt that many of the harsh thin: spoken and written ol him were unjust. SETS GOOD EXAMPLE. By the Jeffersonian simplicity which he insisted on at his inauguration as t-overnor of New York William S il zer set a most commendable example. With thousands of persons in this country there is a foolish love of os lentatijn. When they heard of Sui ter's course on the day of his inaugu ration the folly of their own tastes must have been brought home to them. Il the Governor of the great State of New York could be installed in office without a lot of fess and feathers and needless cost, they must have argued, surely in smaller matters involving expenditures which cannot bi afforded but which custom demands the same simplicity with its attendant advanta ges of economy can be practiced. Unfortunately men in high places encourage by their examples pomp and display rather then simplicity, and waste and extravagance rather than economy. An example like that of Mr. Suler should have an appreciable cflect in the direction ol finding a solution of the proMtin of the cost of high living. Give us more Sulers in conspicuous positions! One of the remarkable features about the inauguration of the parcel post is that so many people aiteiV.pted to use it before they learned ho.v. Looking before leaping is n. t charac teristic ot the American pi- ; :j Craven county needs a jail that will 4o what jails were intended to do. We understand that the jail has many conveniences and that architecturally it is the superior of most jails. But what good is all this if it won't hold the prisoners? When the Congressional Money Trust Committee gets hold of William Rockefeller as of course it will, sooner or latter, it ought to make a desperate effort to get him put in jail for a sub stantial term. Ih" induct of this man of millions in defying the Con gressional committee is outrageous. z Dr. Kilgo criticizes the leaders of the Laymen's Movement avid says they go about over the country banqueting on oyst ers and ice cream. Two thoughts suggest themselves. One is that the men wno nave to mix oysters and ice cream frequently are to be pitied. The other is that, if it is high living by the Laymen leaders thai the good Bishop objectslo, we want to know how it is that he doesn't make s fu about the admittedly large consump- sumption of ehickins by the clergy of his belief. The Boise Capita! News, of Boise, Idaho, published a message from Col. Roosevelt criiiciiing the Supreme Court of Idaho for a decision barring Pro gressive candidate for Presidential elector from the ballots. The publish ers were sent to jail for contempt. If this is justice, whkh it isn't, whv shouldn't the Colonel b time also? THE MUNICIPAL DINNER. There should be many more munici pal dinners. That of last night will inure to the advantage of New Bern. It featured the idea of co-operation and that is the supreme need of any city which would foree ahead. i ne acuircss 01 Air. uamels was worthy of him and that is evidence that he realized the inqiortance of the occasion to New Bern and its citizens. The remarks of the other visitors were helpful and suggestive to the builders of the larger and better New Bern of the future. The papers and addresses by our local people breathed a devotion to the city and an appreciation of its splendid possibilities that wa most welcome. They likewise showed study and investigation so that the forecasts of future great nessjor New Bern was something more than idle talk. All in all it was a most pleasant and profitable affair and, as we have already stated, should be made a fixed feature of the activities of the Chamber of Commerce. . The Journal ventures to Join the officers of the Chamber in extendine thanks and appreciation to the visit ing speakers. . Maj. - Hemphill and Thomas' I.

SANITARY FOOLISHNESS Ideas of health and disease have re cently undergone radical changes. Doctor Rose nan, Prolessor of Prevent ive Medicine at Harvard, points out how we are rapidly getting over some of our sanitary foolishness in the fol lowing article: "The bad name of the night air was due to the fact that the dreaded ma larial mosquito is nocturnal in its habits. Like many another wild ani mal, it sleeps during the day and prowls about at night in search of its victim. In malarial countries the natives who go out often drape light scarfs or mantillas over their mouth in such a way as to vocer the mouth and nose. They do this in order to filter the 'poisonous night air. Meanwhile, the malarial mosquito in jects its poison through the exposed- skin of the forehead or hands. "Sewer gas has long been needlessly dreaded. It is now definitely known that sewer gas is not the cause of diph theria, typhoid fever, or any other in fectious or contagious disease. It can hardly be more harmful than the simi lar gases to which a farmer is ex posed when he works on his manure pile. "Since the great work of Pasteur, we have learned: first ,the particular germs that are the true causes ol most of the communicable diseases, and second, the methods by which these are spread. Moreover, we know how to prevent them. So precise has our knowledge become that it is.possi ble to live unscathed in the midst of raging plague. During the great epi demic of cholera in Hamburg, in 189 none of the doctors or nurses con tracted the disease, although they were in close contact with it. That epi dennc was one of the moFt severe modern times; it killed about eight thousand persons, and there were near- lv seventeen thousand cases in a few months. It is possible also to Dro- tect ousrelves against typhoid fever smallpox plague, diphtheria, and man other infections." Board of Healt Press Service. IN RE SLOGANS. If New Bern has got to have a slogan we believe it would pay to Jook a little further and see if a better on than '"New Born New Bern" cannot be found i ne comoinaiion ol words, is not particularly euphonious, the syllables not being such as to fall trippingly from the tongue. .. The sentiment is not altogether the right one either in our opinion a it seems to imply a degree of disrespect for what New Bern has accomplished in the past, this haa been for many years a substantial city and there is no need to apologize for its past. As to just what good a slogan does a cay there seems to be aoine rinnht We observe for one thing that a slogan ss a mere matter of words. What every city needs is action rather than, words. With so much to be done to keep tip wirn me uiarcn 01 progress we are not certain that it it a good investment of time to spend much of it devising something to say. ' But we are for co-operation and the rule of the majority and if the majority want a slogan and want the One that is just now in the public mind the journal will co-operate in enabling it to tare lortn grandly on its mist ion MORE AND BETTER 'FARMERS (Philadelphia Record) me way to cheapen food it poi ed out by the head of the Bureau of Soils in the Department of Agriculture, but it Is not a road by which we shall or- HOW'S THIS.

(Adv.) rive at. our destiuation next year or the year after, and ten years hence there will bs- more of us, the demand for food will be greater, and even with increased supplies there may be no real dercease in prices. The crops of the present 'year have had some little effect upon prices. The abundant sup plies ol cere, oats and hay shoull be duce prices of til sorts of meats until another harvest season, but these mit igations of prices are temporary. The persisting tact it shat the increase in the? number of farmers, the increase in the area ot tilled land and the in crease in production are' not keeping pace -with the growth ol the popula tion. 1. With all the infinite variety of farm implements and the hundreds of agri cultural colleges anl experiment sta tios,-the quality of agriculture is not improving at anything approaching the pace of mechanical imrpovements. The country needs more farmers, at d ii needs more seiemihe methods of culti vation.. Farming is improving, but practical agriculture falls very fa short of possible agric-.iltare. W'c need not expect to see the theoretically possible ever attended over a wide crea, but the prosperity of farming for the last 15 years ought to keep in the country the young men who are still crowding into cities looking for wages of a day, and with all the scientific agricultural knowledge that v.e possess the i.!d per acre O'ight to be mu'-h greater than it is. PNEUMONIA due of the most dangerous of the acute infections of the winter months is pneumonia or. inllammation of the lungs, and belongs to those diseases which are very widely distributed. It seems to be a well known fact that about two-thirds of the caes ;( pneumonia oicur in the winter and spring months. It is most common at the extremes of life, that is, h: the aged and in children undcf live years old. Nearlv all pneumonia is caused by a germ known as "Pneumococcus." This germ lodges and grows in- the nose, throat and air passages. It also at tacks animals, and is it claimed by some authorities that men can con tract the disease from them. These germs are often found in the discharge from the mouth and nose, and are doubtless spread by dust as they are not killed readily by dryness. While every precaution should be taken to avoid these germs, the prin cipal preventive measure is to keep the blood and body in a good .healthful condition. The predisposing causes in primary cases in old age or infancy are bad hvgienic surroundings, the impure air of overcrowded, poorly ventilated rooms, bad Teeding, and institutional life; and in old people .he disease is favored by the diminished powers of resistance and the les9 perfect expecto ration. Exposure to cold and wet is one cause and this accounts for the greater frequency of the diseases in the cold months. Users of alcohol are especi ally susceptible to the attacks of pneu monia germs. board ol Health I'resi Service.
