But did he find twenty Senators on the job? Far .'rom it. Only a paltry six would be gotten together. By the time the Doc tor finishes his term he will have demon strated his belief in the theory that the holding of political office is a public trust rather than a private snap. And it is possible too that one reason tor these unexpected visits to the captial is that the President wants to find out which Senators are working at the job and which are loafing on it Entered ajt the Postoffice, New Bern, N.

We ven ture to say that they do not roll many pills for their own consumption. Free sugar in three years will con stitute a severe blow for the s-.!gar industryin Louisana, at least that is what the cane growers and the manu facturers say about it. But three years of grace is not half bad. The sugar people from Louisiana re making it warm for President Wilson, but the President, it is easy to forecast, is not going to be moved by their lamentations. ; 1 he country is really fgoing to find what tariff re vision is like. Those who thought that the job secured by Maj. Hale of Fayetteville, namely, that of minister to Costa Rica, was just a sort of an "excuse to let the candidate down easy want to look a little further before reaching a conclusion. It pays ten thousand a year with two thousand for a private secretary. But the Major is a Demo cratic war-horse of the Wilson type and is entitled to something good. An exchange well asks what is so rare as winter in June. Whatever is ;o rare hardly anything is so uncom fortable. It is getting tolrcably plain to our mind that the Gulf Stream has either gone out of busines or that its course has been diverted.

North Carolina's million dollar bond CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGA TIONS. Congress could get through with the tariff sooner if it did not have to stop and do so much investigating. but is appears that all the investi gations are necessary. The best gov erned cities nowadays are those whose commissioners, charged with legisla tive as well as executive powers, give alt their time year in and year out to the discharge of their duties. It may come to pass in this country that the Congress will have to be in session all the time.

LITTERING THE STREETS. i ne ixonoiK v lrginian-niot says "The Rochester Post-Express de livers a lecture on the strcet-litter-ir,g habit which, while addressed to the people of its home city, is more or less applicable to every urban community in the land. The burden of this lecture is that an untidy public means not only more work for the-street-cleaning department but increased dan ger to the public health. How many people ,asks our contemporary, are given to tnrowing on tnc streets or on the walks or grass of the public parks paper, rubbish or any other litter with which they do not wish to be encum bered, without giving so much as . I 1 . . . . , r . inougnt to me tact tnat some one must clean up the ground which they have littered or the rubbish will be scattered here and there by the wind, to the annoyance of all lovers of tidi ness and order?" This paragraph contains a lesson that many of us in all the cities of the land can take home to ourselves, for many are guilty of the thoughtlessness there in treproved. Numberless imes has the writer seen people walk along the sidewalk and throw bits of paper care lessly down. It is a very reprehen sible practice. If there are no garbage cans in reach it would be better and more considerate to stuff the paper scraps into one's pocket and wait until reaching the waste basket in one's home oi office to finally dispose of them. Let all co-operate in kcep ingthestreetscleanand also in keeping down theexpenseof cleaning by the city. For if the multitudes in the city do not litter the streets they will not have to pay the necessary additional tax to clean them. AN ESTABLISHED REFORM Judge Allen thinks that prohibition is established in North Carolina, and that is the way it looks to a great many other people. Many of our people think it is very unjust that Virginia cities should get the busi nvxs that prohibition in Nurd Caro lina give I hem, but prohibition sen timent s gaining all the time in Virl ginia and it will not be long before "State-wide" will win out in Virginia as it has done in this State. The same thing is true of Mar) land and if any one says that prohibition can never come to a pass in a State with a Baltimore in it he can be reminded that it was chimed that it was bosh to think that North Claroina with its Wilmington and Salisbury could ever stand for such a thing. But see what has happened. The tide of public sentiment against the legalized man ufacture and sale of intoxicating drink is rising higher and higher all the while l his is admitted even by some of those who believe that the best solu tion of the problem is in high license rather than in prohibition.

It inquires in yesterday s issue: "Shall we continue to pay high prices for Northern potatoes and Western beef, pork, mutton, butter and meal when we could produce our own sup plies and keep our money at home.? If it costs us no more to raise our own supplies than we can get them elsewhere, it would pay us to do our own producing. Nevertheless, we can raise our own supplies a great deal cheaper than we can buy them. Are we going to do it" lhe occasion of this and similar remarks of the Star was the statement of the Maxton Scottish Chief that Irish potatoes were selling at 16 1-2 cents per bushel in Chicago whereas in Maxton they are bringing forty cents a peck. The Star thinks the Maxton paper in error as to the price 01 potatoes in Chicago unless that paper got its figures at a time when the market was glutted and com missic-n men were eager to get rid of stock before it spoiled. However that may be, it is safe to assume, we believe, that it is cheaper to raise potatoes at home than it it to pay for potatoes raised in other States and pay in addition a profit to the grower the middle man and the local dealer. The ready money that cotton and tobacco yield the arower i a v.. attractive thing, but feeding the masses just at the present writing seems to promise more to the farmer than cloth ing them or ministering to their ap petite for tobacco. ies Lillie Smith and Lillian ft yesterday morning lor More "ity to attend the opening ball Atlantic Hotel.

C, for several days, died with typhoid fever at her home at North Harlowe, N. C, at 6 a. m. May 21 1913. She was 19 years old, joined the Pilgrims Rest Christian Church at North Harlowe, N. C, when she was 13 years old. She lived a Christian life to death, she was financial sec rctary of the Sunday school at her church and financial secretary in her lodge. She leaves to mourn her loss a father and a mother, C. A. and E. A. McCabe; one sister, C. J. Becton; three brothers, C. E, E. E. and W. J and a host of relatives and friends. And our beloved have departed, While we tarry, broken hearted, In the dreary, empty house. They have ended life's brief story, They have reached their home of glory, Over death victorious. Hush that sobbing, weep more lightly, On we travel, daily, nightly, To the rest that tbey have found Are we not upon the river, Sailing fast, to meet forever On more holy, happy ground? Every hour that passes over us Speaks of comfort yet before us Of our journey's rapid rate; And like passing vesper bells, The clock of time its chiming tells At eternity's fata.

C, June 12. Editor Journal: A few days ago an article appeared in your paper written by your cor respondent announcing that a gold medal would be given for the best essay on why White Oak river should be made navigable from Swansboro to Maysville. The correspondent also stated that Maysville would probably be visited by three distinguished North Carolina officials, representing the Fed eral government from Washington. We are especially glad to know that some action has already begun to en courage this improvement on White Oak river. Jones, Onslow and Carteret counties arc so situated that any im provement that could be made on this river would be of equal benefit to all of them, for this reason, if no other, these counties should use every avail able means to secure this important project. We are a loyal people down here in Eastern North Carolina, and have always been true to the cause of economy, but we have been lacking n improvements from the United States government. We have not had our share of appropriations. Espec ially Onslow and Jones counties. ( There are several reasons why this river should be made navigable, hut from a commercial standpoint we are asking the assistance. From Swans boro to Maysville there is one of the best farming sections that we have, a distance of about twenty miles. No railroad and very poor water transportation makes it necessary for these farmers to haul over land nearly all thier farm products. With water transportation, these farmers could almost double their yield and profits in a short time. Thousands of acres of land now so far from transportation facilities could be inproved and made very profitable. The shipping now on Whte Oak river is very small, but it is not be cause of the lack of population along Us banks neither is it because of the scarcity of traffic. In a few years with fair water transportation trade would be wonderfully increased. These count ies, now so far behind the average counties of this State in wealth and re sources, would soon be classed with the average county. Not until the essential improvements are made can we ever hope to arrive even at this average. l ne opportunity is bet ore you These distinguished men from Wash ington have promised to come down and sec for themselves what we need Let's get busy and arouse all the sup port possible.
