The Journal earnestly requests its coriespondents to send in the news of their respective communities. When the present owners of the Journal took charge of it, they were conducting the Industrial Weekly. That paper hid a large corps of correspondents, country news being one of its strong features. On ita discontinuance we commenced tending the Semi-Weekly Journal in its place to all correspondents at the tame time urging correspondents to tend in their letters to the Journal just at they had been doing for the In dustrial Weekly. One or two acceded to this request, but the great majority ignored it. We are writing this to get our friends interested again. Send us the news of your community . It will take but a little of your time and it will be i bene fit to your community to read it as every person there will be interested in knowing what you have to say. Let ut hear from you. Matter for Tuesday's issue of the Semi-Weekly hould reach us Saturday. That for Friday's paper should reach us by Wednesday. Governor Craig is a man of big heart not to hold any grudge against the Raleigh papers for some of the pictures they have shown of him. la the first week that the panel post was in operation six million pack ages were handled. Rather looks as if it fills the proverbial lonjt felt want. the Houe Ways ana Means Com mittee is turning a deaf ear to the en treaties for a retention of tariff duties. It it an old story and has been told to often that it Ins lost its roint. Substantial reductions will be made in the tariff rates. As to that there can hardly be any doubt. CRAIG AND PROGRESS. Governor Locke Craig has got through with the easiets part of his program of progress. The hardest part nd in fact the only hard part will come when under the almost irresistible pressure which will be brought to bear on him to do other wise he will have to have the nerve to adhere rigidly to the views ex pressed in his inaugural address. It taies a man of heroic rr.ould to lie ;i progressive in a place of commanding influence. Craig talks right. Next thing to be ascertained is will he square his actions with his words when the pinch comes? SERVING A USEFUL PURPOSE. The probing of that money trust committee may not chase the trust to its lair, but it will cert unly have justified itself by the wonderful lot of information bearing on the ways of thf financiers that it has caused to be given the country. The greatest wizards of stocks and bond that America boasts have been interrogated and held up for the in tpection of the public. And the in spection hat be?n enlightening. The fabulous profits that t!ie bank er who. have been questioned have been shown .to make suggest to the ret of the (oiks the wisdom of ascer taining just why it is that effort along certain lines yields such huge returns while an equal expenditure of brains and energy along other lines produces . incomparably smaller pecuniary gain. The world owe every man a living. While it doe not owe every one the same kind of living, there's a rcasjn, more or less apart from intrinsic worth, why some collect so much better liv ing from the universal debtor than tners do. The Fujo committee has ' thrown tome light on this interesting . subject.. ' ' v. , '" , !a bill has been introduced in tne General Assembly authorizing a change ; In the charter of Greensboro Female .College mking'the " name of the in stitution Greensboro College for Wo men, instead of at at present. The need for the change is obvious. ' Colleges ! not have sex.,- .-''.,;'- , VALUES TIME HIGH. ; V. Governor- Mann . of -Virginia an nounces that he will give the attorneys f r the Aliens one hour on Feb.' 1 to aigne for a commutation of sentnee. The Governor appears to 'think his fime very valuable. When the Old Dominion is facing the possibility of taking two men's live when the c!r t .... -.ait' e of their crimes do not w.lrrant so grave a punishment, it would seem that the Governor would to devote several clay il OUR TRAVELING PRESIDENT. Taft off on a four day -trip, says a headline. The President's political fences and many other things of im portance to his career as chief execu tive undoubtedly suffered consider ably as a result of his proclivity for travel. . In high place and in humble the way to get results is to stay on the job. It is all right for a man to take a vacation, though we think even that practice is very much overdone, but this thing of being everlastingly on the move, going to this or that place where a little entertainment or diver sion is promised, is disastrous to achievement. WILSON SCORES AGAIN. Score again for one Woodrow Wil son. He declares tor the omission ol the inaugural ball in connection with his induction into office. This is just like a good Presbyterian. We never could see why the inauguration of a Governor or a President had to be accompanied by a ball. We suppose that not more than an eighth of the people dance and why an event at the public expense should have to be ar ranged for the satisfaction of such a limited number is difficult to see. Wilson sees no need of it and we hope to see North Carolina chief executives in the future using their influence against this useless appendage of inau guration events. ECONOMY IN BASEBALL' The Greensboro Ncvs says: "Fans of the eastern part of the State are talking of reviving the East ern Carolina League. The old league had a hard time, but that is no reason a new one would not be successful. Here's for luck to the venture." One of the most promising features about the arrangements for the East Carolina League ts that economy is to be the watchward. The garment is to be cut according to the cloth. Of course quality in basrball comes high just as it does in everything else. But a small league can't afford to give the quality that the big leagues give. It will have to give the variety that the public will pay for and in Eastern Carolina towns that will not mean that there will be any Ty Cobbs play ing, but it should mean an article of ball that will be well worth the charge of admission and that will be a clean and wholesome exhibition of the na tional game. ! 11 i'JS B.1-ami I CALtl !:!; Wednesday me : The "RiyERSIDE'' Extension Auction Sale.

OX THE GROUNDS President Taft continues to talk good-naturedly about his defeat in November, and that is the way to take defeat. The French are constitutionally op posed to doing anything calmly. Wildest confusion marked the balloting in the National Assembly Friday when Ravmond Poincaie was elected President of the Republic. There is no doubt about New Bern's being very much in the public eye at present, several inquiries have come in from outside parties who are think ing of locating manufacturing plants here. This town has the advantages Il is only necessary to keep them before the people and to extend reasonable inducements to men who want to come here. TWO PRESSING NEEDS. With a very decided scarcity of houses to rent to people who want to come here to live, with no room in school for the children of people who want to come here to make this their permanent place of residence, New Bern is not in very good shape for increasing its population. These two great needs of the city should receive attention at the earliest possible moment. The Board of TrtiS' tees of the Vilv scnools announce that the scboool facilities willtx- made adequate by the time for' the 1913 1914 session to start. There is promise too of a solution of the home problem in the development of the suburbs if some provision can be made for renters as well as home owners. It is probably true that the owners of homes arc a more desirable class of population than renters, but a pro gressive city should cater to both classes. New people will come here and rent who will not come here and buy Very naturally they want to come and try the place out before deciding to. locate here permanently. Not only so, but some men prefer to invest what money they can raise in a business and wait till later to1" Invest in a home. Jvlore houses to ' rent 'at reasonable prices is one of . the prime needs in New Bern just now.5 WOULD BE WELCOME CONVEN IENCE. -...'V' , The following from the Evening News of Perth Amboy, New Jersey, will be of interest here. ; " ''jay B. Franks will soon recom mend to the Board of Aldermen that iron frr alram boxes be installed which will not only ring the fire alarm but will abto ring at the place where the box is located. This is to no false alarms Can be rung without some one nearby knowing who the culprit is. The device has been tried out success fully in a number of large cities. The new boxe. in the tuture will probably be this variety. . "The new boxes would cost a little more than the present kind. They would have-no keys or glass to break, only a door which could be early yi hV anyone.'
