TO CORRESPONDENTS
The Semi-Weekly Journal's appeal,
made a few weeks ago for more
news from country correspondents,
had a noticeable effect as we imme
diately received a number of most
interesting letters. Now we are wri
ting again for fear the ardor of our
friends will cool. We urge you to keep
the good work up. Help us make
the Semi-Weekly Journal helpful and
interesting to you.
We regard the letters from our
country correspondents as one of the
means the Journal has of being of
service to the section of country
through which it circulates, These
letters bring the people closer to
gether and tend to the development
of a community interest which is
most helpful. You help your own
community and by suggestion help
other communities by sending us the
news as it transpires in your neigh
borhood. Let us hear from you !
Uncle Joe Cannon is enjoying being
a plain American citizen. Hope he
doens't think he is the only one who
is delighted.
Raleigh is putting up a fight for the
commission form in a way which
indicates that there are some people
there who are in earnest in their
conclusions that the commission form
would be a good thing for the city.
Despite the knocks that Big Bi sinss
has been getting, the Steel Trust in
its last fiscal year managed to clean up
profits of over a hundred million dol
lars. It's hard to keep the magnates
from multiplying their millions.
, s-
Legislation aimed to result in the
release of Harry K. Thaw from Mattea
wan was defeated Wednesday at Al
bany. In the case of Thaw it is about to
be demonstrated that money can't
buy everything. However, the Thaw
millions are at work all the while and
only eternal vigilance will prevent
them from eventually winning out.
Hon. Josephus Daniels, Secretary
of the Navy, editor of the News and
Observer and even yet a Raleigh
citizen, came in to our city on the
train today. Fa'eigh Times.
Infer from this that Mr. Daniels,
by virtue of his new position, wat
rather expected tg arrive on a battleship.
Dr. Charles W. Eliot is such a good
man for the ambassadorship to the
Court of St. James that it is remarkable
that he was not thought of before
Richard Olney was.
Those Christmas Savings advertise
ments which are to be seen in the papers
far and near look a little bit like rush
ing the season. But it is never too
early to begin doing a good thing.
Dr. Woods Hutchinson in his maga
zine articles continues to advise eating
a plenty, but omits to say how to get
the money with which to pay for the
liberal allowance of rations that he
advises. We wish Doc would get down
to essentials.
DOVER VS. KINSTON
Girl's Basket Ball Teams of Two
Play Tie Game.
(Special to the Journal)
Dover, N. C. March 21 The girls
of the Dover High School are not con
tent to let the boys have all the honors
in basket ball, and so they ahve organi
zed a team. They played their first
game today, with the girls of the Kin
ston Grammar School department,
and the game was exciting at all times.
The teams were evenly matched, the
game resulting in a tie, 15 to 15. The
brightest feature of the game for the
visitors was the playing of Miss Waters
at forward. Misses Merritt, Padrick
and Richardson did unusually well in
their first game for Dover. The teams
play again next week..
With its characteristic good fortune
North Carolina escaped the tornado
which raged over Central Western,
Southern and parts of Eastern States
Thursday, causing the loss of over a
hundred lives and millions of dollars
worth of property.
OF
Washington dispatch says: "The
House, the Senate and the President
came together today for the first time
on the 'preliminaries' of tariff revision
O.td Man Ultimate Consumer is watch
ing these preliminaries with the keen
est interest imaginalbe, wondering
if the cost of economical living is going
to be reduced as a result.
Georgia is a prohibition State but
prohibition isn't prevalent there, hence
the Webb Act is approved by the rea
prohibition sentiment of that State
One thing that helps to make prohi
bition difficult of enforcement in Geor
gia and North Carolina is that many
men approve of prohibition but do not
practice it. Wilmington Star.
We believe the Star wo. Id le more
nearly cornet to say that many men
preach piohibition but don't practice
it. And that sort of thing looks con
siderably like hypocrisy.
TREATING CHINA RIGHT.
The new administration is going t
give China a square deal. It we re
member correctly one of the criticism
made by a noted missionary to China
who spoke here some time ago on the
relations of this country to Chinii
was in connection with the big inter
national loan which the present ad
ministration a few days ago declined t.
encourage. It seems a bery safe pro
position and one that one doesn't have
to be a diplomat to understand, that
the United States is in no way called
uDon to concern itself about the
financial problems of China.

FACIL-
BEKN'S SCHOOL
ITIES.
New Bern is a growing city. Its
growth, however, - will be retarded
a preciably if it is unable to provide
ec'iool facilities for the chilren of all
the people who come here to live.
There is a difference of opinion as t4
whether it has the facilities now.
Some of our ckissni say present facil
I ies are not used to the best advantage
and that this explains the reason for
the school authorities asking for a newiceau
building. ' If the school authorities
are right snd their critioes wrong the
tact should be demonstrated to the
voters as promptly and
as possible.
CONDITIONS SHOW NEED
COMMISSION FORM.
Withdrawals from the race for the
nomination for Alderman by the Demo
crats the nomination of course being
equivalent to election are beginning
to come in. No one can much blame
a busy man for hesitating to assume
the labors and responsibilities at
taching to' the faithful performance
of the duties of an Alderman.
The hesitation which so many good
men feel to undertake the irksome
duties of being an Alderman is one of
the great arugmen s in favor of the
commission form of government.
Under hat system a man is paid for
his work and the laborer is worthy o
his hire.
By the way, you seldom hear any
thing but good of the workings of the
commsision form. Memphis has had
it three years and in that time has
decreased the tax rate tax eighteen
cents. Raleigh is conducting a vigor
ous campaign for tki new form of
government ana mere" is hardly a
doubt that the campaign will be sac
ccssful.
It is to be hoped that whoever may
constitute New Bern's new Board of
Aldermen will make it one of their
tasks to seek to bring about a change
in the form of government that will
make the government more responsive
to'the best iiterests of the city
