The Richmond Virginian advises
against taking 'em offthisearly in the
ga ne, Down in this neck of the woods
it hasn't been necessary to put 'em on.
The President will hardly be able
to pi int to North Carolina as the State
which set the ball to rolling in behelf
of the doctirnc of letting the office
Beck the man.
President Wilson evidently argues
that there is no use in having a Presi
dent's room at the capitol if it is not
lo be ocrupied by a President occasion
ally.
Empty honors are strangely in de
mand as in evidenced by the fact that
Albert S. Bcveridge, former United
States Senator, is seeking the nomina
tion for the Presidency in 1916 at the
hands of the Progressive party.
Many people in this country will
think all the more of Vice-President
Marshall because of the fact that he
does not take kindly to golf. No
more golf and tennis cabinets for Wash
ington at least net for the present
Covernment business not sports will
furnish the Lasis tf the news of the
capital.
THE WORLD'S WORK AND
BRYAN.
The April issue of the World's Work
contains these words:
"The State portfolio the President
must himself Ik Id whenever important
questions tome up."
The et'itor of the World's Woik,
Walter II. Page, has been appointed
to the chief pest in the branch of the
government service at the head of
which is Mr. Bryan. Some people
are wondering whether Bryan knew
of this editorial utterance when Page
was named. We don't believe that the
President knew of it or that he would
have appointed Mr. Page to the place
had he known of it.
COMMISSION FORM GIVES BEST
RESULTS.
The shortage cf a clerk in Raleigh
indicates to the News and Observer
that loose business methods prevail in
Raleigh's n unicipal affairs and adds
to that paper's joy at the fact that
Raleigh has adopted the commission
for. There is a chance of loose business
methods under all systems of govern
merit, but there is considerably more
reason to expect that men paid for
their services and holding places which
others are looking at - longingly will
keep the public business in good shape
than there is to expect such a result
from men who transact city business
at odd times and at a financial loss
to thcrr.sclv.s.
The Navy League shouldn't worry
It has a bess who is clever at evolving
policies and risouiceful and effective
in getting them put in opt rat on. Under
Josephus D;. n't Is he American r.avy
vill have a p I cy . It n ay not be a
.isc one, but it will net be ccntpic
tous for its ton-existence.
MRS PANKHURST..
Mrs. hmmeline Pankhurst, the
militant English suffragette who was
sentenced Ho three years imprisonment
for inciting her followers to destroy
property, refuses to eat or in other
words has gone on hunger strike. If
a self-inflicted cxcjtion results when
the law asked for oily three years im
prisonment it is diffcult to sec how any
one can blan.e the British authorities,
Mrs. Pankhurst's line of reasoning,
by the way, as evidenced by her course
with reference to the sentence imposed
upon her, lends to strengthen the
old contention that is it a waste of
time to try to argue with a woman, it
being claimed by those who refuse to
yield to woman the possession of the
same general faculties of mind and
heart as man that women act from
Impulse and intuition rather than on
grounds of reason and argument.
Democrat .taternen who have ben'A
wobbly on the tariff are showing ra-
markabk stiffness of conviction now
that it ha. at last come to a show down.
Not as bitter pill as it looked, some
of them no doubt arc saying,
Interest over the postofficcs is said m
to be at lever heat in Washington.
But Dr. Wilson is said to be distress
ingly cool.
Colon.'l Gorgas, the one man per
haps who ought to know," says the
Panama Canal is not a canal By the
same token, we presume it is also wrong
to-call it "the big ditch".
The Raleigh News and Observer
says that the search and seizure law
is effective, that all it needs is enforce
ment. Enforcement, aye, there's the
rub. If it were as easy to enforce a
law as it is to pass it, life would be one
grand .sweet song.
If the North Carolina law-makers
had worked out as complete a program
for raising money with which to meet
State expenses as the Democratic
leaders in Congress appear to have done
in the task of raising money with which
to meet national expenses, citizens of
the State generally would feel better
satisfied.
Many of President Wilson's admirers
will refuse to approve of his course in
going in person to deliver his message
to Congress. Of course it doesn't
make any difference intriniscally wheth
er the President's message is read by
the PresidferilTot somebody else, but
as the Doctor has been breaking a
good many precedents his latest achieve
ment is likely to make the people think
that he is overdoing the thing a bit.
A syndicte writer is having a lot to
say under the head, the truth
About Mexico," but he is so volminous
that it is safe to assume that the greater
part of it is pure guesswork.
'Morse has regained his ships",
says a news dispatch. Mr. Morse is a
tolerably active plunger and operator
for a man who a short while ago was
so bad off that if he remained in
prison a month or so longer he would
incur risk of death.
Congress not in a lone time has
paid such attention to a Presidential
message as it did Tuesday when Wood-
row Wilson read his in person. The
scholar in politics is perhaps the man
who would be most expected to
smash precedents. For he is the man
most apt to know just what precedent
is based on and whether or not the be
ginnings of a precedent were grounded
in reason.
Icebergs are reported near the grave
of the ill-fated Titanic. The mysterious
thing about this report is what the ship
that did the reporting was doing around
the graveyard of the Titanic. Almost
anybody must be good enough navi
gator to understand that where the
Titanic sank is a good place to stay
away from. By the way, th: first
anniversary of the sinking of that
great ship, which was one of the great
est and most dramatic disasters of
modern times, falls on next Tuesday.
ELECTING SENATORS BY POPU
LAR VOTE.
Direct election of United States
Senators became one of the provisions
of the constitution of the United States
by Connecticut's ratification of the
amendment to that effect on Tucs
day. A few years ago the person who
predicted that this would happen
would have been laughed at in many
quarters. Election of Senators by the
people had many elements of danger
the old-line conservatives firmly be
lieved. But it doesn't make the upper
house of a legislative body wild or
radical to be elected by the people.
The Senate of North Carolina has
been elected by the people all the while
and we don't think there ever was one
that was not pointed to as the in
strumentality that saved the State
from the radicalism of the House,
The United States will not go to the
bow-wows as a result of the States
electing their Senitors by popular
vote instead of by the legislatures.

WHY USE L. & M. SEMI-MIXED
REAL PINT
Because it's economical. Because it
is pure White Lead, Zinc and Linseed
Oil. Because it's the highest grade
quality paint that ran be made. Be
cause when the user adds i quarts
of Oil to each gallon of the L. & M
Semi-Mixed Real Paiut, it makes
1-34 gallons of pure paint at a cost of
about $1.40 per gallon. This saves
the user about 60 cents a gallon on
alt paint used. The L. ft M is and
has always been the highest grade
and most perfect paint produced.
