Altogether now for a sane Fourth
which is a Fourth of rest and comfort
able recreation. (We lay the emphasis
on "comfortable.")
We suggest that the stores close
for at least a part of the day to-day
Give the salespeople a chance to cele
brate the Fourth.
Col. Roosevelt has taken a shy
at defining "The New Freedom," hut
folks in the country now are listening
to that other expert on the subject
President Woodrow Wilson.
A Democratic Senator withdrew
from the caucus Wednesday and pre
cipitated a ittle excitement in Sena
torial circles. Well, Democrats have a
day of acting to suit themselves.
The withdrawal of Mr. Hitchcock
from the caucus was one of the most
democratic ot the occurrences tn
Washington in recent months.
The Greensboro News says that the
demand for lumber in Greensboro
far exceeds the supply. The population
in Greensboro and everywhere else
is growing all the while and all hands
of us want a shelter of some sort
This being the case whatever Congress
and President Wilson may do to the
lumber tariff, the lumber industry-
ought not to suffer materially.
The Agricultural Commission which
this country sent abroad is turning
up some interesting facts. At last
accounts there was a section of the
commission in Hungary, and there
is was ascertained, among many other
things, that the. Hungarians use their
cows as draft animals as well as the
source of the milk supply. But this is
a custom which is not likely to become
popular in America. It occurs to use
that such a practice would lower the
food value of the milk and might
actually cause it to have a harmful
effect.

Warm over in Europe too. See that
the Bulgars and Serbs have been at
it again.
An exchange says England is fast
coming to rival France as a nation
where the rule is "more coffins than
cradles." But it must be remembered
that cradles are different from coffins
in that they can be used over and over.
Some of the Virginia exchanges are
finding fault with the Richmond Times-
Dispatch because it is so vigorously
progressive, pointing out the fact
that the Times-Dispatch was in yester
years more or less reactionary. Well,
it is better to see a light late than not
to see it at all, isn't it?
They are saying that Colonel Mul
hall has been lying on the National
Manufacturers' Association. But any
one who remembers the sort of bos
tility which the said Association has
always manifested towards tariff re
form will understand that its zeal
might well have carried it to extremes
at least some of the extremes that the
Colonel has cited in his "confessions
Naturally a protected industry cannot
look with any degree of satisfaction
upon a proposition to deny it a con
of special favors
THE HOLIDAY-LOVING SPIRIT.
"The holiday-loving spirit is to be
encouraged," say the Richmond Vir
ginian. "It ia wholesome. Bums,
malcontents and millionaire know no
thing of holidays. The people who have
do but enjoy themselves
enjoy anything. The real fun
ntd enjoyment of a great holiday
ia not among those elaborately attired
in appropriate costume who ride se
cluded in the reserved coaches or go
everywhere ia automobiles It is among
the masses of the people the crowds
and throngs, who just put oa the best
they have and go ahead taking their
ha Net and families along because
they have to." These latter are the
M that fet the best out of we
nyway, whether It be a holiday or
the common run of things that. you
consider. The sense of contrast is
wWasfeM Mat. The man who works
and works hard can rest and can up
prertatr rest and can gat the utmost
satisfaction out of the small pleasures
However, the Virginian really di
gressed a little. It started out with
the assertion that the holiday-loving
spirit is wholesome. One naturally
it to go on and tell wherein
liaaome. We should any that
temporarily aad give himself over
unreservedly to having a good time.
The holiday loving spirit is also whole
some in that it shows a capacity for
enjoyment. It would be deplorable
if people generally should get so en-
fgioastd in the daily grind of their
duties that they could not enjoy the
rest and recreation to be had out
of a holiday.
But in spite of all this, we think
it a bit unfortunate that not a one
of the great American holidays falls
in one of the really pleasant months
like April or October.
If jt takes hot weather to bring cot
ton, there can no longer be any doubt
that a bumper crop will be harvested
this coming fall.
Wilson's Gettysburg speech, like
all the other public utterances cf this
truly great and good man, was a marvel
of eloquence and wholesome sentiment.
He has the gift of expression as posses
sed we believe by no other m: n in
public life today.
Col. Henry Walterson says'the people
in this country are too much governed.
But what is the Colonel going to do
about it? He has .been arguing against
that very thing all his life and the
country has not given him heed.
It would seem that he ought to bow
to the will of the majority and stop
making a wry face over it. Majorities
have been known to be right, and lone
editors, no matter if gifted with a fine
command of picturesque English, have
been known to be wrong.
Col. Henry Watterson and Woodrow
Wilson both made Fourth of July
speeches. The former advocated in
substance the standpat theory of
government. They are best governed
wno are least governed he argued.
President Wilson maintained that there
is much to be done to guarantee equal
ity of opportunity and to prevent the
powerful from overreaching the weak.
We do not see how anyone who has
been watching the course of events
at the capital of the nation can dis
agree with the President.
THEY LIKE TO COME TO NEW
BERN.
That New Bern is a place to which
people like to come was well demon
strated by the crowds that were in
attendance here Friday. It was a
scorching hot day, but weather con
ditions don't have much of a deterrent
effect when a day's outing is involved.
Visitors came Friday from all direc
tions and from surprisingly great
distances. The two amusement parks
were well patronized and the folks
generally appeared to be pleased with
the entertainment afforded them while
in the city.
As far as the writer observed or heard
there was comparatively little disorder.
It has taken young men and boys a
long time to find out that there is
nothing "big" in being "half-shot"
as a way of celebrating a holiday, but
an increasingly large number of them
appear at last to have learned the les
son. So the fact that there was little
or no drunkenness in connection with
New Bern's celebration of the Fourth
is to our mind one of the reasons why
the celebration ran be looked back
upon with unmixed pleasure.
As compared with last year's cele
bration the occasion of this year was
marvellous. It will be impossible
of course to make next year's observance
as much greater than this year's,
as this year's was greater than last
year's, but there will be much improve
ment of course and next year's event
should draw a still larger crowd and be
a still greater success.
LOOKING AT QUESTIONS FROM
ALL ANGLES.
Dr. Cyrus Thompson of Richlands
has written for the records of the North
Carolina Medical Society a most ex
cellent and appreciative sketch of the
life and character of the late Dr. Frank
Duffy. Dr. Duffy had the faculty of
reaching right conslusions about mat
ters which came before him for solution
and this trait is well described by Dr.
Thompson.
"Not everything that he touched
turned to gold, but value attached
to whatever he considered valuable.
His judgments of conditions and his
sense of values were everywhe'e so
unerring and patient, that his advice
was confidently sought in business
and safely acted upon by his friends
and acquaintances. It was always
worth while to know what Frank
Duffy thought about the matter. A
man not only of scope but of tele
scope also, of wonderfully compre
hensive and logical mind, of un
varnished and untarnished integrity,
in manliness of character and great-
Mat of mind he was not less than the
greatest who has graced this society
with his membership."
While, as was remarked on this page
a few days ago, the faculty of accurate
judgment is partly born in a man
it is not to be doubted that there are
habits not impossible of formation
hich lead up to the acquirement
at least to a degree of such a .facu ty.
From what Dr. Thompson writes
it la plain that- Dr. Duffy was a man
who took his time in reaching conclu
sions. He formed the habit of refusing
to jump at conclusions and of looking
at problems from all angles before
deciding what to do about them.
Too many people act on impulse or on
hastily formed conclusions. It pays
to take the trouble of looking before
leaping.
AM EQUESTRIAN STATUE TO
STONEWALL JACKSON.
tewall Jackson Monuraem
Association, of Richmond, Va., has be
gun a movement for the erection in
that city of an equestrian statue to
the great Confederate leader. In all
the years since Jackson first attracted
the attention of the world by his sig
nal service at the first battle of Ma
nas a ts, no esquetrain statue in -his
honor has been raised in the old capi
tal of the Confederacy, Rev. J. Powers
Smith, president of the association
points out. But it has now been deter
mined that this long-deferred tribute
shall be provided, and that "every
Southern man, woman and child" shall
have " the privilege of naking a con
tribution and having his or her name
and address deposited in the corner
stone as one of its builders "
An adequate memorial of Jackson is
needed in Richmond, and if placed in
Capitol Square would make a notable
addition to the striking and noble
group of eminent Virginians who are
there commemorated in bronze or mar
ble. If "every man, woman and child
in the South" would respond to this
appeal with only a cent a sufficient
fund could be insured at once. There
will be less difficulty, we take it, in
raising the money than in giving sat
isfactory artistic expression to the
work. There are thousands of people
in Maryland, and, indeed, throughout
the country, we believe, who would be
glad to be numbered among the con
tributors for Jackson is one of the
Civil war figures who grows larger
he longer he is studied, and who
make; an extraordinary appeal to the
popular as well as to the military
imagination. He was as strong and
singular in character as he was un
usual and masterful in gen us, and it
will require an artist of true inspira
tion to produce a result worthy of the
original. Such an artist, we have no
doubt, will be found, for such a sub
ject should fire artistic ambition, and
such a task properly executed will
place the sculptor who does it in the
Hall of Fame. What Jackson was in
character and soul innumerable
writers have tried to describe with
more or less success, leaving many of
us still seeing him as through a glass
darkly. What he was in a military
sense we know from the almost uni
versal belief that had he not fallen at
Chancellorsville the battle of Gettys
burg either would never have oc
curred, or would have had a different
termination.
We are glad to see this tardy tribute
to this wonderful American soldier.
His fame does not need it, but until he
is properly represented in Richmond
one of the greatest of Virginia's sons
will be missing from the sculptured
array of soldiers and statesmen that
she has gathered at her capital as
mute but impressive witnesses of the
t hint's which she has done and the
ideals for which she stands. Haiti

THREE THOUSAND
VISITORS HERE
Record Breaking Number Of
People Spent The Fourth In
New Bern.
ADVERTISING WHAT DID IT
Newspapers All Over East Carolina
Have Had Write-Upe of Big
Celebration.
Yesterday morning the last of the
visitors who spent the Ulonous
Fourth" in New Bern returned to their
homes in various towns and cities
in this section of the State.
It is estimated that there were three
thousand visitors in the city on Friday.
The Norfolk and Southern Ra lway
Company sold twenty-three hundred
tickets to New Bern from vaaous points
along their line. Just how many came
in via the Atlantic Coast Line road is
not known but the number would prob
ably reach the two hundred mark.
In addition to those who came by
rail there were a number of excursions
operated by river steamers and many
private boat owners brought in parties
from the nearby towns, while still
others came in on bicycles and in
carriages and wagons.
For weeks the newspapers all over
Eastern North Carolina have carried
numerous write-ups of the big events
to be held there on July 4, and as has
been demonstrated time and again
the way to get a crowd is to advertise
The day was a good one for the local
merchants. During the forenoon their
places of business were open and al
most every store was crowded with
shoppers.
The next holiday of importance is
Labor Day which, this year, falls on
Monday, September 1, and it is under
stood that the day will be celebrated
here in a manner similar to the Fourth
of July.
