P. D. 3 know how their accounts stand. If you have any business with the Journal call on Mr. Ipock The Colonel is doing bis best to conceal his enjoyment of the new notoriety that has come to him, but he is not fooling anybody. The Democrats at first thought they could handle tariff revision, currency reform and perhaps one or two other big problems at the extra session. But the more they go into the tariff proposition, the bigger it grows. So it is not surprisitg to find that the im pression around Washington is that Congress will levise the tariff and let it go at that. And if the. job is done right there will be no fault to find with the nation's lawmakers. - SPECIAL STAMPS FOR PARCELS SHOULD ALSO BE CUT OUT. Postmaster General Burleson his issued an order discontinuing the use of the special ten-cent registry stamp ( and providing that no additional regis try stamps shall be printed after the present supply shall have been exhaust ed, the order providing further that ordinary postage stamps shall be used for the prepayment of registry fees. Now if the postmaster general will have the special parcel post stamps follow the registry stamps into the discard, he will endear himself and his administration of postal affairs still further to the public. The less trouble the public has to take to use any form of public utility the more it will use it and the better it will be satisfied. IN THE HANDS OF THE SUFFRA GISTS. Rev. Dr. James Cannon of Virginia, who is a very busy man but who finds time from his active routine to dip into a good many public questions, has lately-written a letter for the Rich mond Virginian in which he deprecates very emphatically the agitation of the question of giving the ballot to women. On his devoted head he brings back several vigorous argumentative whacks from women suffragists of Richmond. One of them with more or less of ir reverence says at the outset of her reply, "It is amazing how much ig norance can be expressed in one news paper column! I refer to the letter from Dr. James Canncn on woman suffrage in the Virginian of May 23." Then she proceeds to show the doctor where in he has not learned the alphabet of the considerations which lead so many women to think that they ought to be given the right to vote. Another devout suffragist replying to the Doctor's assertion that "the movement is not led by those who are fired with the conviction of the justice of a great principle," gives a lengthy catalogue of distinguished men and women who have espoused'-f he cause, heading the list with such distinguished men as Phillips Brodks, Henry Ward Beecher, Ralph Waldo Emerson, John Stuart Mill, Mark Twain, Theo dore Roosevelt, William' II. Taft, Abraham Lincoln and mentioning fur ther oa dowa ia the impositfg'list Newell Dwight Hittis, Edwia Markham, Win ston Churchill, Israel Zangwill, David Starr Jordan, Judge Ben ttridsey and many others. Dr. Cannon is of a peculiarly com bative turn and he wHl probably -'come back", but in the final wind-up we shall expect to tee him placed where, under the combined hammering of the tuffragitts, there will be nor disposition at all on his put to return to the en counter. Paul Hiaoa, a St. Louis railroad clerk, forgot an appointment at which he was to claim a legacy of $62,500. Either Paul is a very forgetXnl man or he didn't think much of the claim. Yes, sir, we caught Col. Chtwson of the Wilmington Star red-handed, but we'll be twitched if be didn't make the capture the occasion of a half column of eajf-pnise. The nerve of seme people! FREE PORTS, W New York, Norfolk and perhaps some ther Atlant.c Coast cities are asking ha made free potts in view of the set of the impending tariff changes. I fret port is explained by the Nor folk Ledger-Dispatch it a locality into which raw materials n ay be thipped duty free, manufactured and thipped out to foreign countries. That looks like a proposition that it susceptible of being very conveniently used to further the purposes of crooks. For it is hardly to be doubted that much of the products thus manufactured would be smuggled out into the United States. And it also seems calculated to give the cities selected for such ports an overwhelming advantage over the other po.'ts. LOBBYING. President Wilson's recent onslaught on the lobbyists who are infesting Washington in such large nurnbeis has of course called for much comment. One newspaper says that it will do no good to rail at the lobbyists that there have always been lobbyists, always will be lobbyists and that they serve a useful purpose. If the lobbyists would be open and above board in their op erations, their presence in Washington would not be so undesirable. But it is charged and is no doubt true that they seek to influence legislation privately and in all sOrts of unworthy ways. The law strictly forbids under a severe penalty tampering with a jury. With equal appropriateness it could forbid tampering with a law-maker. POLITICS OR BENEFITS. "Do you want benefits or politics?" is the title of a new publication by the Bureau of Municipal Research of New Ycrk C ( y. ' This particular publica tion b i itended particularly for New York, but the arguments set forth therein have an application wherever the people are demanding results for the money paid their public officials. For although New York is almost in finitely greater than most other citeis in the country, smaller cities have much the same problems to contend with that confront the men whq are responsible for the government of New York. For instance a pressing problem in New York just now is the standardi zation of salaries. That sounds of course a little top-lofty, but in reality it is a very common need. For in pretty nearly every city in the country there a.e some men getting more than they deserve for what they do while there are others who do more and get less. The Bureau of Municipal Research recommends thorough investigation by experts to remove these inequalities. Getting quality of supplies paid for is another undertaking which the Bu reau of Municipal Research is Consider ing and that surely is a problem which confronts every city. In fact this re form is already in effect in New York to a considerable extent, so much so that we find the Bureau's bulletin say ing: "Saving has begun. Through in spection it is seldom now that the city pays for goods when it doesn't get goods; seldom that the contractor gets 30, 40 or 300 per cent, more for goods than their market value. But the city does still use more supplies than it needs and it does still fail to make sure in all cases that the right quality of supplies is ordered and that it gets what it orde.-s.'" Standardization of work done on jobs is another problem of the large city which is also, on a smaller and less complex scale, a live question in the small city. In short, and to put it in simple language, the application to the public service of the same sort of thorough going methods that make private bus iness a success is the great need in small as well as large cities. A certain amount of politics it ist necessary to have, but, in the main, it is benefits and not politics that the average . tax-payer would like to have in return for the cold cash he turns into the public treasury. TRAVELING A THORNY PATH. Some time ago the New York World printed a very suggestive cartoon re presenting Wall Street in 1913 in conttast with Wall Street of a year or so ago. The Wall Street of the pre sent was shown in extremely attenuated form and with too large garments flapping loosely about his arms, body and legs and smoking a corn-cob pipe. The Wall Street of the past Was por trayed as a very corpulent and pros perous individual, smoking a large, fat cigar evidently of the fifty cent variety. The moral of the cartoon waa plain ly that the present trend of sentiment and legislation is such as to give little aid and comfort to the money kings fininria! district of New York of the Lately there has come news of the failure of "Rector's", a famous restau rant patronised by the wealthy people of New York, "a run of poor business" being assigned as the reason. This incident gives additional, point to the World editorial. The Wall Street magnate of a truth is not having things just like he wanta them nny longer. In fact tie hat been hard hit and though for spite he is trying or threatening to try to smash the whole industrial and financial fabiic. there are cool heads at Washington ready to stay hit hand. . The State Journal it conduction a campaign of publicity against the in surance tiutt. It inquiiet. Will the people sit quietly by aad let this busi ness be conducted as an iron clad trust with arbitrary power to lacrosse their collections at win with . nobody to question or supervise their rates? It occurs to us that the Journal hat tackled a very live and important prob lem, The Insurance trust it no batter than any other trust a far as we can see and trusts are notorious for the prac t ice of oppression and extortion. Let the State Journal keep up its fight. It will find plenty of suppott nil over the State. : Personals FRIDAY, MAY 39. W. H.

If the red squirrels do not Hnve an actual gnme of tag they have some thing so near It that 1 cannot tell the difference, writes John Burroughs In Harper's Magazine. Just now 1 see o- In hot pursuit of another on the state wall. BotU are apparently going at the top of their speed. They make a red streak over the dark gray stones When the pursuer seems to overtake the pursued and becomes "It" the race Is reversed, and away they go to the back track with the same fleetness of the hunter and the bunted until things are reversed ajrxln. I have seen them engaged In the same game In tree tops, each one bavlag his inning)- by turn. The gray squirrel comes and goes but the red squirrel we have always with us. He will live where the gray will starve. He Is n true American, ne has nearly nil the national tralta nervous energy, quickness, resource fulness, pertness, not to nay Impudence and conceit, fie Is not altogether love Iv or WfiineUv's.

Mrs. Lavcnia Hall, 30 George St., New Bern, N. C, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills have been of great value in restoring tny health. I suffered from a weak back and pains across my kidneys that made me restless at night. In the morning I felt tired and had no strength or energy. The secretions from my kidneys were un natural and caused mc no end of annoyance. When I read about Doan's Kidney Pills, I got a supply from the Bradham Drug Co. and they removed my paint and aches. Since taking this remedy, I have had better appetite and my entire system has been toned up." (Statement given January 25, 1908.) A LASTING EFFECT.
