Mark Sullivan, writing for Collier's magazine, says it is not sufficiently known that the Congressional Record can be had for $1.50 a month in ad vance. Mark is trying to gold-brick somebody. Governor Locke Craig has let it lie known that he will not be in the race for the Senate to succeed Senator Overman. The Governor was in one memorable struggle for a nomination and he would have to he very ambitious indeed to want to go through another. It is unfortunate that it is such a stren uous and expensive thing to run for office. TAXES. Any kind of a tax commission will have a hard time framing an assess ment plan whereby the Slate will get more revenue and at the same time no man will pay more taxes than he is now paying. And this seems to be what is wanted. Durham Herald. Contrary to appearances as seen by the Herald, that is not what is wanted. Those who have been studying the tax problem with the view of trying to get the tax burden equitably distributed realize full well that there is no way out of the difficulty that does not involve the requiring of some people to pay- considerably more in settlement of taxes than they arc paying now. Get ting at the dodgers is where the rub is. The State's tax problem is its biggest problem and until that is satisfactorily settled there will be many of the State's needs that can be only inadequately met. AS WAS EXPECTED ROOSEVELT WON SUIT. As was expected from the beginning Col. Roosevelt won his suit againstthe Michigan editor, who charged him with drunkenness. The editor himself said he was thooughly convinced that he had made a mistake and in the pre sence of the court made a retraction, intimating that the Colonel mught have dealt with him with less severity by asking in the first instance that a re traction be made. Col. Roosevlct waived the damages though the presiding judge said he would have sustained a verdict in any sum up to the amount claimed in the plaintiff's declaration. The editor is left in a somewhat pitiable plight. Of course he should nev er have made such a statement as he did make about Col. Roosevelt. But it is not doubted that in the heat, of the campaign again t the Progressive candi date similar statements were made in other sections of the country and that all the power and influence of an ex President of the United States should have been concentrated on an obscure Michigan editor seems contrary to the fitness of things. AMERICA SITTING AT THE FEET OF EGYPT. The American Commission on Agri cultural Co-operat:on which has been in Rome investigating systems of agri cultural credit and co-operative pro duction and marketing, has split into five groups and left Rome on five dif ferent .missions. 1 he group whose pur poses promise most perhaps for the Southern farmer is the one that has fjeae to Egypt to study among other things the marketing of cotton. It does not seem exactly the right thing lot America to have to Icam of Egypt, but facts are stubborn things and to learn from Egypt is what one sec tion of, the Agricultural Commission has gone to Egpyt to do. The Egyptian bale of cotton has been ecepted as the world's standard. In the United States the method U .baling aad grading is so poor that it U said great financial loss to the giowers is thus incurred. The subcommittee of the Commission which has gone to Egypt will learn how the Egyptians do It aad come back here aad report. la o doing it will serve a very uesful purpose. 1 4 tflfliy"1 Jw isern, has leNsri ahpJint- No health certificate, no marriage is a very pretty theory, but it is cal culated to bring on some more of the affinity business. Rale-'g'i Times discusses very learn edly the question of why girls leave s hxl. The burning question in New Bern is way boys leave school. There seems to be a disposition oa the part of the newspapers to acquit the News and Observer of undue feat uring of Josephus Daniels. Fact is, we all want to know what the Secretary is doing to earn his salary and it would be tough on the esteemed N. & O. not to be permitted. to exercise good news paper sense. Mr. Bryan's peace plan is coming along nicely, the principal nations of the world having accepted it. One of Roosevelt's greatest achievements was the influencing of Japan and Russia to leave off shooting each other full of holes. It begins to look as if Bryan will achieve the still greater feat of establishing what will amount to a world-wide peace. They are about to upset President Wilson's theory that there is a large and extensive lobby operating around Washington. But inasmuch as there is one lobbyist at work who, according tJ Senator Ashurst, is so slick that he can carry a bundle of eels upstairs without dropping a single one, it is no wonder that the President was fooled. That is, if it finally turns out that he was fooled. President Wilson's onslaught on the lobbyists was well enough any way. For it is resulting in the removal of some popular misconceptions as to the wealth of Senators. According to thjir testimony before the committee on probe there are very few of them in the millionaire class. These men don't go to the Senate to make money. The thirst for honor is what takes them there. Not a few of them, probably, have an exceedingly hard time in making beucklr and tongue meet. Road Engineer Snowdcn quoted, evidently with his own endorsement, the figures of the North Carolina Economic and Geological Survey in dicating that Craven county by reason of its bad roads loses approximately one hundred thousand dollars a year. This is an awful drain. Unless it can be demonstrated that the Economic Survey and Engineer Snowden have their figures wrong, it is up to the friends of good roads in this county to get busy. Money saved is money made and a hundred thousand a year is not be sneezed at. If Craven county is not to have a bond Issue to get good roads the only other way to get them is to tax the people directly. Hence there can be no question as to the wisdom of the noarci ot commissioners in increasing the road tax. But it ought to have been increased to twenty-five cepts on the hundred dollars instead of to twenty cents. Money invested in good roads is like bread cast upon the waters it will return many times multiplied. The county that isn't improving its roads as rapidly as practicable is neg lecting one of the most important sources of wealth and prosperity. PUTTING SMOKED EELS THE MARKET. ON Ernest Luedcrs, the New York man who some time ago came to New Bern to go into the business of curing and shipping eels, yesterday presented the Journal with one of the smoked eels which he is preparing for market. The product of Mr. Lueders' place smells very much like the Scotch her ring which has such a wide vogue in the country stares in cotton-picking time, but tastes considerably more like fresh fish. Mr. Lueders hopes to find a good local demand for the smoked eels and later to ship them to New York and other Northern markets. New York relatives of a man wl.o died and left his fortune to animal pro tectivc associations and humane so- citics arc contesting his will. It does look like injustice for money to go to dumb brutes when human beings need it so badly. But the solicitude of kind he irted men for suffering dumb brutes serves another than its immediate purpose. It reacts in softening the natures of all who sec or hear of such humanitarian activity. It would operate to the moral injury of any com munity for cruelty to animals to be permitted without challenge. BREAKFAST MENU An editorial from the New York World on "The American Breakfast" reprinted in today's Journal will doubt less be widely read, for everybody ex cept a few chronic dyspeptics finds breakfast a pleasant thing to think about and we naturally like to read about subjects that suggest pleasant sensations and experiences. Nevertheless it it likely that some of our readers will insist on settling the gctting-breakfast phase of the ser vant problem in someot her way than con tenting themselves with a breakfast of coffee, bread and butter. Those, however, who take kindly to the solu tion of the problem as suggested by the World will surely find satisfaction in the fact that so many people in the old country get along on a very simple and inexpensive breakfast. American people are spendthrifts as compared with many of the people of Europe all of them, perhaps it would be safe to say. It is quite pot- ible that one of the causes of the high cost of living in this country is the good living which the average American insists oa having, Personals TUESDAY. JUNE 3. Mrs. S.

FUND NOW NEARLY 9 MILLIONS Pensions For Members and Asso ciate Members Who Devote Lives to the Work. New York, June 4. John D. Rock-e feller has added $500,000 to the general fund of the Rockefeller Institute fcr Medical Research fcr the purpose of providing pensions for members of and associate members who arc devoting themselves to scientific work there. From a beginning of $200,000 in 1901 the institute funds now amount with this gift to $8,740,000, a sum which represents the increasing activities cf the instiute in twelve years, under Mr. Rockefellers bounty. Pension rules were announced which will apply to the new gift. Members of the institute retiring at the age of sixty-five years, after fifteen or more years of service, will be ciuitled to three-quarters pay. Members and asso ciates who retire at sixty will become entitled to from one-half to three quarters full pay, according to length of service. Total disability of em ployees, after ten years of service, and widows and orphans of employes, will be pensioned at one half the scale pro vided for members of the staff. Pension rules were announced which Six mcmbdrs of the institute force will receive full benefits from the pen sion t und, by reason of life appointments They are Dr. Simon Flexner, director of laboratories; Dr. Alexis Carroll, whose feats in transplanting living tissue from one organism to another won for him the Nobel prize of $39,000 l?st year; Dr. Rulus Cole, director of the hospital; Dr. Rufus J. Meltzer, Dr. Jacques Loeb, who has produced life by chemical agencies, and Dr. Mevene. Six associate members are on nearly the same pension plane. The growth of the institute may be measured by the endowments that have been made to develop it. In the be ginning its purpose was announced to be to advance The science of medicine through laboratory investigations, study in the hospital and money grants to persons engaged in medical research. This program so stimulated research work and created so many demands for money in this city and elsewhere that within one year Mr. Rockfellcr added $1,000,000 to his original gift of $200, 000. With the new gift a laboratory was built to centralize research, and pending construction grants were made to support research in various localities. Need of a hospital for the treatment of sufferers from diseases which came under special investigation was soon urgently felt. Mr. Rockefeller donated $620,000 for this purpose in 1907, to which also was applied $220,000 re maining from the previous gift of $1,000 000. While the hospital was under construction he gave, in addition, $2,000,000, the first fund to be used solely for the endowment of the In stitute. The new hospital was officially de clared open Oct. 17, 1910, at which tim a further gift of $3,820,000 was made to the general endowment fund. The capacity of the hospital is for seventy beds. Control and cure of meningitis and of infantical paralysis have been the most notable achievements of the in stitute from the standpoint of the aver age medical practioner. In dealing with the specialties of some of the ex perts, which have been startling in scope and significance, the institute has been most careful to communicate its findings only through accredited scientific chan D A FN ESS CANNOT BE CURED ty local a p plica. ions, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear, There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remsdies.

Mr. Stallings had hitched his horse in front of a residence on Craven street and had gone into the building to make an inspection of some plumbing which had been done by one of his cmploysc. The colored driver, w lose name could not be learned, came up tin- street with a cart and ran into the buggy. Spectators say that the driver was asleep and was not aware of the fact that there was any obstruction on the street. Realizing that he was to blame for the affair the driver at once took Mr. Stalling's vehicle to a repair sh p to be put in good shape aga;n. Rev. B. F.

IN NEW BERN The Evidence Is Supplied by Local Testimony If the reader wants stronger proof than the following statement and ex perience of a resident of New Bern what can it be? Mrs. Lavcnia Hall, 30 George St., New Bern, N. C, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills have been of great value in restoring my 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 inc no end of aanoyanre. When I read about Doan's Kidney Pills, I got a supply from the Bradbam Drug Co. and they removed my pains 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. When Mrs. Hall was interviewed a short time ago she said: "I take pleas lire in confirming my former endorse ment of Doan's Kidney Pills. They pave me permanent relief from kidney trouble and during the past several years, I have enjoyed tood health. For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
