Revolutionists are having such a high old time of it in Mexico, Portugal and other more or less disturbed coun tries that the revolutionary spirit is flaming forth in other places and imong other ambitious and designing men. that intimate acquaintance of newspaper readers, Col. Cip Castro, has got the fever and is threatening to net In the sDOtheht atram. What seems to be well authenticated informa tion comes from Venezuela that Castro is about to make an invasion of his former country with the purpose of again establishing himself at the head of its affairs. Castro is a picturesque character and the progress of his little revolution will be watched with interest all over the Western hemisphere and to some extent, on the other side. THE MEXICAN PROBLEM. Facts are said to be stubborn things. They are also elusive. So often they are confused with opinions and opinions are so often colored by desires that the real facts of a given situation are ex ceedingly hard to get. That is the dim culty in connection with the problem of whether this country ought to recognize the Huerta regime in Mexico Ambassador Wilson says that General Huerta has the country pretty well under his thumb. President Wilson has advices from other sources that the ambassador is mistaken and that Huerta is in real authority only in a small portion of the stricken country. It is suggestive of conditions prior to an election. Every man foresees the result as agreeable to the way he thinks it ought to be and just what the people are thinking is not accurately ascertained until the votes are counted Ambassador Wilson is not an un biased observer. He has laid down a course of action for this government and is so wedded to it as to be anything but unprejudiced. It is said that he' has influenced a considerable proportion of the members of the Foreign Relations Committee of the Senate but President Wilson and Secretary Bryan are opposed to his recommendations and it is unlikely that they will change their views. There is a strong feeling too, that much of the alleged sentiment in favor of some action of some sort by this government in post haste has been manufactured by those who want to see the Huerta administration bolstered up by recognition from the United States. FIN LEY TO LEAVE THE SOUTH ERN? The Norfolk Ledger-Dis patch carries an item stating that President W. W Finley will resign his position with the Southern Railway Company and be come President either of the Southern Pacific or the Union Pacific. We do not see the item in any of the other papers and as yet it lacks confirmation. Yet the resignation of President Mel- len of the New York, New Haven & Hartford, and the choice of Howard Elliott, president of the Northern Pacific, to succeed Mellen, has made a vacancy which is liable to result in a good many changes of executives before the railroad situation gets back to normal again. There is good reason to believe that Mr. Finley would stand a good chance for promotion to the presidency of any of the great railroad systems. He has made good as the head of the Southern and along the very lines at which some railroad presidents signally fail, that is hi making the road popular with the people. It is said that whea Mr. Finley leaves the Southern, E. H. Coapman, who a few years ago was a division superintendent, will succeed him. The railroad world sees men rise with meteoric speed and few of them have gone upward with greater rapidity than General Manager Coapman of the Southern. The Durham Herald says that it is too early yet to take it for granted that Mr. Justice is the only man with nerve enough to go after the job now held by Senator Overman. So it is. But it Is not too early to predict that Justice will go after it with about as much effectiveness as anybody else. The announcement of the Farm I fe School appear in this issue of tht Journal and it is an announcement ; which we print with peculiar pleasure aa we believe this i going to prove aa institution of which Craven county people will have especial reason to feci proud. It form a new and very ooumeary ne at gti&t influence in developing and enriching the younn manhood and womanhood ot the coun ty. MR. BRYAN'S SERVICES AS A LECTURER. I regret the pessimistic views of The World on Mr. Bryan's Chautauqua lec tures. I can understand the views of some papers which are opposed to Mr. Bryan's talking or even breathing. Bryan is on a vacation and should be permitted to enjoy himself as he sees fit. If he chooses to make a few honest dollars let us rejoice that the money does not come from "invisible" gov ernment, which would gladly pay him more than he can make from his lec tures if he would sell his splendid tal ents to the privileged classes instead of devoting them to the service of the people. On the lecture platform Mr. Bryan is working the progressive Democratic principles in government,, and it is due to him and to others like him that the American people are being delivered from the fetish of protection, the buga boo of war and the infernal war spirit Many of us look on Bryan as a school master and teachers are never popular with bad boys or dunces, but even the great Theodore has imbibed some of Bryan's ideas, which used to be called nostrums. Now some of these ideas are laws, notably the direct election of Senators by the people; some are being enacted into law. The income tax abd the low tariff and some other good things are to come, such as nation-wide direct nominations, the initiative and referendum, etc. Let Bryan keep on talking. We can not set a fair valuation on his services either as Secretary of State or os lec turer, but every honest dollar he ac quires will please every honest man. John J. Egan in New York World. A FIRST CLASS FIGHTING MA CHINE. The Democrats in Congress will have to be given credit for knowing their mind for knowingjwhat they want and going after it. They propose to reduce the tariff and change the currency system and they are going to do both with the least possible delay. Here and there a recalcitrant is found, but as a whole the party in Congress is singularly united. That is a lesson which the Democrats learned from the Republicans before the latter themselves got so badly divided that they lost their effectiveness as an or ganization. The Democratic party in Congress as now organized and con trolled is a first-class fighting machine. Eight dead and three others dying is the record of a motorcycle accident in Cincinnati The littlest machine is not always the least dangerous. The motorcycle apparently is getting to be a close second for the automobile in hastening folks from this world into the next. WARM WEATHER NOW, HARVESTS LATER. BIG This is exceeding warm weather, but there would be little reason to be sorry for it were it not for the fact that excessive heat means so much sickness and so many deaths in the large cities. Heat at this time of year means for the farms, rapidly growing and maturing crops and they are needed to feed andclothe the multitude. Pros pects are getting brighter alt the time and it is said that one of the reasons the Secretary of the Treasury issued his order turning government money into the South and West was his belief, based on reports from the two sections named, that large harvests are now practically assured. HAVE NO TIME TO WEEP. There's a new woman writer whose work is coming somewhat into vogue at present. She writes a lot of common sense, practical kind of stuff and that is what the generality of folks most appreciate nowadays. In a recent article she takes as her text the old saying: "Men must work and women must weep." This view of women belonged to another age. It makes woman a help less being instead of the active, helpful being she ordinarily is now. Miss or Mrs. Wooley, has thus taken a subject which opens up a big field of thought, for the activities of the woman who works instead of weeps are nura erous and varied. But she makes the most of a fins subject. "Women used to weep a great deal more than they do now," she says, "but as a matter of fact the old saying ought to be changed to read, 'Men must work and women must work also if the children are to be brought up decently.' " The woman who spends her time either in weeping or laughing is not the woman of to day. Mother works as hard as father and generally harder to make the family buckle and tongue meet. Her work is almost as often outside of as in the home. Woman measure a nearly up to her duty as man and a little nearer. A CABINET OF LIVE ONES. There is one characteristic of the member of President Wilton's cabinet. They are men of action. Perhaps now and then they make mistakes. But no reasonable parson expects perfection in a public servant. Theodore Roose- relt has said a lot of thing that won't island close scrutiny but he was right J when he said that the only person I who never makes a mistake U the :k to the official advisers. They are as a rule, live wires. There's our own Josephus. The New York Sun, an independent newspaper with strong Republican lean ings, says that the Secretary of the Navy is one of the ablest and most capable of the men who have held this office. Postmaster-General Burleson is also a man of initiative and effectiveness. Attorney -General Mc Reynolds appears to have made a serious error of judg ment in permitting the postponement of the Diggs-Caminetti white slave cases in San Francisco, but in the enforcement of the anti-trust laws and in the general work of his depart ment he has been diligent and resource ful. Secretary of War Garrison won general praise for the promptness and energy with which he toot hold of and handled the flood situation in Ohio and Indiana some months ago, and his foresight and habits of thor oughness had a good deal to do with the successful handling of the great re union of the Blue and the Gray at Gettysburg early last month. Mr. Bryan, as a Secretary of State, is a big man in a big place and despite his temporary Incursions into the Chau tauqua field he has made and is making a consummate success in handling our foreign relations. Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, whose activities really suggested this article, is fully abreast of the great men with whom he is immediately associated. He has applied progressive ideas to the financial affairs of the nation and while the opposition to his way of running the Tresury Department has been very decided and vigorous in some quarters, he has made it clear that he knows what he is doing, at the same time giving the impression that he is honestly and discerningly trying to accomplish the greatest good for the greatest number. His recent decision to deposit twenty-five to fifty millions of dollars in the banks of the West and South to facilitate the movement of the crops will be wel comed in the two sections of the country affected. His decision involves something: that has never been done by the government before, namily the acceptance of primef commercial paper as security for deposits, but this administration, from the President down, is not afraid of breaking prece dents. Secretary of Commerce Redfield Secretary of the Interior Lane, Secre tary of Agriculture Houston and Sec retary of Labor Wilson all have given evidence of being public officials of the best type men who believe and show by their deeds that they so believe that public office is a public trust and not a private snap. The firmness of the Administration in regard to the recognition of Mexico is having a helpful effect. It certainly cannot be said that the Huerta govern ment is being kept in suspense. All parties in Interest know what they have to expect at the hands of the President. New Bern will have to have a stricter enforcement of its traffic or dinances or some serious accidents are sure to happen. It is said that even the timehonored rule of vehicles passing to the right is frequently violated here. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw has gone into bankruptcy. This is a financial trans action. Morally the woman has been bankrupt for some years and the fact that she can be assured of large houses in New York City to witness her dancing is by no means a favorable commentary on the taste of the people of that city.
