An Atlantic City court rules that "liar" is not a "cuss" word. However, it generally proves in practice to be a "hit" word. Senator Martine of New Jersey all but fought a mine operator in the West Virginia investigation the other day. But he had just returned from a visit to the homes of the miners and he was excusable for being a little impatient After what has transpired in Wash ington in the last week or so nobody will feel disposed to take issue with President Wilson when he expresses an opinion as to the size or as to the insidiousness of the lobby at the na tional capital. A good part of the activity of Con gress is in the form of conducting investigations, but there is the com forting reflection that the investigations usually bring out facts that the people ought to know. A lot of the voting in this country has been done with the vcters in the dark. a. Fourteen American soldiers were killed in recent fighting in the Philip pines. Occurrences like this give point to the demand of the national Demo cratic platform that this country get the Philippines olT its hands as soon as possible. American blood is too valuable to be spilled indiscriminately in forcing a form of government on the Filipinos that they don't want 1 his country has had the wrong sort of a history to feel at home in th business of imperialism. CITIES AND FREIIIGT RATES Some astounding facts are being brought out by the Raleigh New and Observer showing discrimination in ireignt rates, ror instance yestcr day it showed that the freight on a car load of automobiles from Richmond to Raleigh is the same as it is from De troit to Richmond although the dis tance from Richmond to Raleigh only about one-fifth as great as that from Detroit to Richmond. This an many other glaring inconsistencies show that the railroads have in their power the making and the unmaking of cities. A city with a low freight rate can of course ourgrow a city with nign rate, .ortn Larloina aties are small, comparatively, and the main reason is that they have always bee under a handicap of a discriminatoi freight rate. Mrs. Pankhurst has serious heart trouble, says a headline. We had been thinking it was head trouble A Richmond pastor who kissed one of his female parishioners has bee inordinately "fired'' out of his plac Dy the official board of his church He put up a lengthy plea in cxtenua tion of the act but failed to convince the church authorities that he had not ended his usefulness to the church The minister of the gospel above all others should walk circumspectly When he errs the cause of righteou is given a serious setback. Whenever a man gets in a new job ne proceeds to revolutionize it. A collector of the port of New York William Loeb, who had been the rial. hand man of Theodore Roosevelt and was regarded as a very fine executive so- conducted the office as to win much praise from the New York press. No John Purroy Mitchel, a Democrat goes in and reports the existence of a sat of useless red tape which he proposes to do away with as soon as possible It Is a big job and it will probably face several successive Loebs and Mtk-h eh to make all the improvements possible in connection with it. AS TO REST ROOMS. The Progressive Farmer says: "One of our progressive exchanges i atteatioa to a neglect our Fanners 11.1m. I f-1 t . ' vmunoers oi commerce should both give attention tothe of a rest room for won en in every wlllMB town and city. We quote: There is one thing that every town asusfct ta provide for the convenience t the people from the country who taaMfpataw town to do their shopping T4afta rs room with proper privacy t asiamanilmtion for women. Noth sag swwjs be more convenient ami able or be more arent'v in The town merchants owe to their customer that they pre vide far this coavenieacc. When our ceaa try wosaaa go to town to do a day's hopping many of them are compelled to carry small children, having nooie at mm to leave them with, and decent place oi rest and refreshment ia sorely needed."' It the folks from the country an New Bern to trade, we do not believe that there is altogether the demand for rest rooms that might be supposed. A rest room was maintained in New Bern 'or several months last summer and was hnully discontinued because it was so little used. In some way the people seemed to think, that they were made recipients of charity by accepting the use of the rooms. Either that or the necessary accommodations were fur nished in the stores to a greater extent than was supposed when it was decided to open and maintain the rest room. Mexico is still in a state of warfare. The country is sadly in need of a man ind sooner or later he will be found. There are celebrations and cele brations but the United States is fortunate in not having any folks who $ivc vent to their exuberance of feel ing by burning up a dwelling as do the suffragettes of England. At the Naval Academy at Annapolis Friday Ensign Billingslcy was hurled fifteen hundred feet from a disabled biplane into the depths of Chesa peake Bay. Late Friday night the body had not been recovered. The deplorable occurrence suggests that a little while ago the country was in Linger of losing a Secretary of the Navy. True the death of Ensign Billingslcy was the first fatality that has marked aviation at the Naval Academy, but aviation is aviation no matter where it is practiced. The bishops of the Southern Metho dist church have vetoed the action of the Board of Trust of Vanderbilt University in voting to accept a mil lion dollar gift to the medical depart ment of the University. The condi tions of the gift were such as to make the bishops feel that it could not be accepted without dishonor to the de nomination. Without going into the merits of the controversy one may be pardoned for observing that it is rather a wholesome sign to see a nody ol men coolly turn down a million dollars rather than concede principle. There , seems to be considerable opposition in New Jersey to the kill ing and maiming of people by reckless automobilists. At least one would infer as much from the fact that in that State a wealth) and well connecter young man is facing a sentence of from five to ten years for running down and killing a boy. Some automobilists everywhere appear to tntnk that it is up to the pedestrian to dodge' if he can and if he can't to take the con sequences. The experience of the young man in New Jersey will have a wholesome ellect in suggesting to automobile drivers the wisdom of using some little trilling care not to run over folks. SELLING BONDS AT HOME. Says the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot: "A short time ago Baltimore offered a loan of $5,500,(100 and had no takers. The money market was tight, it was explained. Then the price ws cut to 90, but without materially stimulating the demand. At this juncture Mr. Grasty, publisher of the Sun paper, remembering, no doubt, the success with which a somewhat similar plan was recently worked in St. Paul, came forward with an offer to sell $10,000 worth of the bonds at his newspaper office. The .people poured in and bought that block and other and still other bltcks until the Sun had dis posed of nearly a million dollars worth at par ' When i'ic North Carolina improve ment be. ds were put on the market lew nays ago tne only bidders were North Carolii a people. They arc the ones who sho ild own these bonds If the same sort of advertising were given the North I arohna bonds in North Carolina as was given the Balti more bonds in Baltimore and they were offered in small u intities as thev were in Baltimoic the issue could no doubt be disposed of easily. This would keep the interest on the loan at home where it belongs. MILKING AT COMMENCEMENT.

A few years ago when cotton mills worked their operatives eleven and twelve hours a day we were told that the business could not stand a cut in the number of working hours, but the thing has been done and few of the manufacturers have retired from busi ness because of it. Durham Herald W. R. Hearst, wc see by the papers, is threatening to bolt the Democratic party. While we have never been abfe to discern a great deal of im portancc adhering to the political comings and goings ol Mr. Hearst, we seem to have a hazy impression that he usuallv docs bolt whatever party he is affiliated with about this time of the year.

We fear I Secretary of the Treasury is not g 'ing to be overly popular in circles wli the high and mighty financiers m and have their being. That official is much too inconsiderate in intcrfe- with their plans. Greensboro New It is being constantly demonstrated that our system of government North Carolina is decidedly cumber some to say nothing ol being mem cient. We have so many Representa tives and Senators that the honor of being one of cither is too small to bring the best men we have out for the positions and the pay is so small that a man cannot support himself at Raleigh during the legislative term out Of his salary. And then the sys tem is such that this large body spend- most of its time in disposing of matter that concern and affect only local com munitics, the press from these matters being so great that the important matters have to be carried over to the last with the hope of finding time for study and deliberation and are then generally rushed through. Charlotte Chronicle. Governor Craig is no doubt giving the railroads considerable concern be vause he docs not run amuck in the freight discrimination matter. z They no doubt hoped he would talk a whole lot and thus give them a chance for argument, but the governor is unlike the old woman who wanted and would have the last word. He is letting the railway men do the talking. Mean time his attitude shows he will take proiicr action at the right time. The Legislature must meet in extra ses sion, this fall and he will call the a sion for the discussion of freight rate- so that it will run into the sesssion fixed by the Legislature for other work And yet all this can be avoided if the roads will simply act decently and stop choking North Carolina; they are not only choking us, but com mitting highway robbery along with it. -Greensboro Record. DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED tv local applications, as they cannot roa-h the diseased portion of the ear, I here is only one way to cure deafness. and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an innamed condi tion of the mucous lining of the Eusta chian Tube. When this tube is in- tamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored ta its normal condition, hearing will be de stroyed forever; nine cases out ' ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nuiaing but an inflamed condition of the mucous su if acts.
