F. D. 3 know how their accounts stand If you have any business with the Journal call on Mr. Ipock SERIOUS THING TO VOTE A GAINST BOND ISSUE. Cr.e of the speakers at the mass meeting in behalf of the bond issue fc.r schools the other night made the pcir.t that if the issue failed to carry there would result a depreciation in prorerty values here. To defeat the isst:c will give the town a "black eye" beyotd any dot.bt. Persons who want to locate here will likely choose some other place when they learn of the penurious attitude of the people toward the schools. On the other hand, if the word should go abroad that New Bern is a school-: loving and school-supporting city, the place will be elevated materially in the estimation of the public and the' favorable advertisement in this way received would i levitably inure to the! advantage of the c ity in a pecuniary j uay. Take a broad view of the matter, 1 forget the little animosities nghinst and pet criticisms of the school management end give New Bern stock a big boost upward by voting the amount of bonds; a led, so that tie school facilities of the city shall net suffer. It is conceded that some cf the rooms j arc too crowded now for the health and comfort cf the teachers and the chil dren. It is alro known that some of the childien are not now taught full time and that some have to go in the; afternoon as they cannot be accom- I modated in the forenoon. It is like-J wise known that there is no provision for the little ones who will knock at the school doors next October and beg to be admit. ed. In the face ef these facts it is a very serious thing to vote against the bond issue and the Journal most respectfully urges its readers not to do so without weighirg with the utmost caic the sign- 1 ficance of such action. THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND THE BOND ISSUE. The defeat of the bond issue for schools today ,in the judgment of T. J C. Hyman, president of the Chamber j of Commerce, would offset all the good the C hamber of Commerce can do in a number of years. The trouble is that some of our voters , have not stopped to think what an important thing education has come to be in this State. Everywhere education nal needs are given the right of way. Especially has this been true in recent months when interest in education has been accelerated by the news that in spite of the educational revival which the late Governor Aycock ir.agurated, North Carolina is near the foot of the column in educational averages as compared with the other States of the ' Union. The Legislature responded to public sentiment by passirg the six months' school law. It would be a pity for the ! Athens of the State to be a laggard in the march of progress. We believe as IV.' r. Hyman says that' tie Chamber of Commerce in its ef-' forts to bring new capital and new blood into New Hern would be put on the 1 defensive by unfavorable action today) on the bond issue. Conversely if the bond issue should c; rry the Chamber of Commerce would have yet another strong "talking point." Vote to give the Chamber of Com merce something to which it can "point with pride", rather than something t will have to explain. Wilmington S.tar :iarts off a Washing ton dispatch about the tariff thusly, "The free list of the Underwood tariff Lill ith its domestic promises oi re ductions in the cost of living," while le Greensboro News tells us about "1 he free list of the Underwood tariff bOI with its Democratic promises etc." Home-loving voters will not sec any coi flict. Democratic policies stand for happy and contented homes.' Parker Quince Moore is the Mayor of Wilming on, winning over former men. Young men aie comin to te front in this State. Thev make the best public officers, for the world is getting better, officeholders included, BUT HOW ABOUT CHEAPER COFFEE? Because the Department of Justice in this countiy forced tl.e ale of 920, 000 bags of Brazilian co lee wi ich had been accumulated n New York and which, it was supposed, was bein held with the purpose of forcing up the price of the commodity, the Brazil ian government has got on its ear and lias decided to so amend its customs duties that this country will lose sev eral million dollars worth of trade innually. All of which is more or less entertaining, but as far as we can see, does not hold out anything agreeable in connection with a less costly break fast table. HOW IS THE NEW PLAN WORK ING? According to Health Superintendent Jones of Guilford county there are now thirty-two cases of smallpox in that cotrnty and Dr. Jones also makes the interesting calculation that i these cases had been quarantined as was the law formerly, the ccst to the county would have been $1,280, whereas it has been only twelve dollars, this amount having been spent for food for some of .he indigent patients. At the same time this new-fangled plan of not quarantining small-pox cases is open to criticism in the minds of some at any rate. It is said tha the object of the plan is to force people to get vaccinated, firight being the im pelling influence according to the theory. We are wondering if there are any figures forthcoming as to show that vaccinations have been substantially increased as a result of the suspension cf the practice of quarantining cases of small-pox. POOR WAY OF CONSERVING WEALTH. In view of the extensive forest fires in this section in the last week, the re port on similar conflagrations in 1912 showing that the damage was greater than in any previous year has a very pertinent bearing. With less than half the townships of the State reporting, the damage o this State from forest fires last year .was over one million dollars? Most pople will find it hard to believe this. But the statement is given out by the Geological and Economic Surevy and the figures we do not doubt are more apt to be too low than too high. This is a poor way to conserve the wealth of the State. The bond issues for schools in the various North Carolina towns this week in the main were carried. Kin ston carried an issue of fifty thousand dollars for schools with only sixteen dissenting votes. Morehead City had 348 registered voters and 341 of that number voted for bonds for the use of the schools. Charlotte defeated an issue of fifty thousand for school pur poses and a tax of ten cents on the hundred dollars for free text books. Oriental came up with a ten thousand dollar issue for schools and Spencer did likewise. On the who!e, the cause of education was shown by the elections to have as firm a hold as ever upon the people of the State. The Baltimore City School Board has forbidden the writing of essays by the public school pupils in competition for prizes offered by the Anti-Saloon League of Baltimore, the subject as signed by the League being "The Effects of Alcoholic Drinks Upon the Human Mind and Brain." Liquor inure: ts are slid to dominate the board That such is the case is strongly in dicated by the action in this matter. It certainly looks as if some persons in Baltimore are pretty thoroughly convinced that the liquor business will suffer if the school children, with un formed habits, learn that the use of alcoholic drinks will injure both mind and body. A PLEASING INCIDENT. Democrats and Republicans in the House of Representatives forgot their differences over the tariff long enough Tuesday to join in a non partisan celebration of the fifty-first birtrtday of Oscar W. Underwood, the Democratic leader. Minority leader Mann introduced the subject by re marking: "Fifty-one years ago today one of the ablest men in public life first saw the light of day." He con gratulated the "Democratic party ar.d the American people that during the fifty-one years of his life there ' has grown to greatness and bigness the able gentleman from Alabama, Mr. Underwood". This was a very pleas ing incident, showing a breadth of view on the part of the Republican leader that was entirely praiseworthy. The spirit which refuses to recognize ability in a political foe is rapidly dying out in this country. D1AFNESS CANNOT BE CURED t, local applica ions, as they cannot roi.h the diseased portion of the car. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi tion ot the mucous lining of the Eusta chian Tube. When this tube Is in flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unite the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal rhdition, hearing wHI be de stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is aothing but ap inflamed condition of the mucous sui faces. v F.
