A PUUK All i nuw i i President Huerta intimates in his rfnlv to the American proposals as submitted by John Lind that the policy of President wnson is mi . . llT-t - . . .. I. J un hv the American people. This rather a strange line of talk from a man who won't stand aside and let the Mexican people elect a president ill. . . . . ! ... knitw t . It wouia oe unci cot-ms w mhat farilities Huerta has for ascer tainine what tne peopie in wn umimy . want in connection with the Mexican Droblem. Public opinion here is ex trcmely hard to ascertain even by our own experts. Every election shows where the most glaring mistakes have been made in guessing the drift of current thought. THE FREIGHT RATE PROBLEM ftn editorial in the Charlotte Observer "headed "Wilmington vs. the State," elicits a long communication in the Wilmington Star from J. Gilchrist McCormick, vice-president of the New Hanover Just Freight Rate Association. While we did not read the editorial in the Observer we infer from Mr McCormick's reply that it implied a fear that Wilmington would stand in the way of some of the interior cities getting relief from discriminatory freight rates. One thing is certain, Wilmington has thriven as hardly any other place has and there is no doubt that its freight rates, as determined by its excellent water transportation, has had much to do with its growth and prosperity It contends, and in the contention is upheld by the other places with water transportation, that whatever schedule of rates is adopted, it should be given the same relative advantage because of its water facilities that it has had heretofore. It can hardly be blamed for so contending and on the other hand the cities in the interior cannot well be blamed for being unable to see the proposition through Wilming ton spectacles. It is rather a knotty problem and it would seem that somebody will have to yield a point or two before a satisfactory solution is worked out. OBEYING THE LAW GOOD BUS' INESS POLICY. A visitor in Wilmington and Wright s ville Beach this week, when inter viewed by the Wilmington Star, re marked upon the fine patronage which the Wrightsville Beach hotels have been having since they decided to stay in business following their pronounce ment that they would either have to close up or be permitted to serve beer to their guests. The gentleman gave it as his opinion that the hotels in question are and have been enjoying the largest patronage in their history and he goes on to say that this state of affairs is no occasion for surprise as it usually results that law-abiding citizens are not boycotted for obeying the law. The vast majority of people in this State, including most of those who do not favor prohibition as the best method of handling the liqor problem, believe that when a law is placed on the statute books it should be obeyed. All such people would feel much better satisfied to give their business to hotels which heed the law than to give it to those which violate it. A COURT INNOVATION. Minnesota is going to try out a court innovation that will be watched with interest all over the country Instead of requiring unanimity on the part of juries, a verdict may be brought in by ten out of the twelve jurors. As a special safeguard against error, the jury must have deliberated twelve hours at least in order for the conclu sion of five-sixths of its membership to constitute a verdict. This is a reform which should prevail everywhere: Few er mistrials will result and justice will be more often done. The judgment of tea men out of twelve is not apt to be wrong, espccia'ly if they take twelve hours to thresh over the different points involved. A WISE FASH ION-WRITER. Miss Gould, the fashion editor of the Woman's Home Companion, writes more sensibly on the subject of women's dress than anyone we can recall read ing after. She opposes the eccentric, the immodest, the grotesque and the conspicuous. "Fools," she says, "dress so that people will turn around and stare at them. I want women to dress aft that people will not start at them. I want them to look well, be comfortable, foal fashionable and yet accomplish at a reasonable expenditure of money." Now that sounds like a woman of sense. Strength to Miss Gould's pen. She is disseminating wisdom. INTEREST IN IMPORTANT QUES TION BEING AROUSED. With the appointment of C. L. Ives, of this city, as a member of the special committee who are to co-operate with the State authorities in the ne gotiations with the railroads relative to a reduction of discriminatory freight rates, it is likely that New Bern will get more aroused over the matter than it has appeared to be heretofore. "It is a matter of vital interest to New Bern," said a wholesale grocer yesterday. "If the compromise of the railroads as offered some weeks ago had been accepted, New Bern commercially would have been ruined We would have been completely bot tled up. We have simply got to get in this fight and fight hard along with Wilmington and Washington. Our interests are identical with theirs, The same wholesaler said that when the proposition was made that New Bern join the Just Freight Association and subscribe a hundred dollars to wards the fight that was being made by interior points he did not favor the proposition because he felt that New Bern already had very good rates and that it was the part of wisdom to let well enough alone. But now that it 'has become a question of the very existence of New Bern as a dis tributing point he saw the need of join ing in the fight with Wilmington and Washington in order that in the final showdown no such proposition as that offered by the railroads some time ago might be accepted by the State. This gentleman in answer to the question as to whether he thought there was anything prejudicial to New Bern in the ambition of Wilmington to be what is known as a basing point, replied in the negative. He declared t'lat whatever advantages may be given Wilmington as a water point will also be given New Bern and that New Bern runs no risk at all in heartily co-operating with Wilmington. Wilmington certainly cannot be ex pected to wage the whole battle for the water points and it is gratifying to the Journal to ascertain that our local jobbers are getting aroused and will henceforth put up a fight in behalf of New Bern that will be worthy of the THE PROPOSED WEATHER OB SERVATORY. That weather observatory project. in the furtherance ot wnicn Rep resentative Faison one day this week offered a bill in Congress ap r ipriating five thousand dollars, should be wel comed and supported in New Bern. A weather observatory is needed here. The desire of the government, as we understand it, is to get its weather forecasts promptly in the hands of the farmers, the Weather Bureau being a branch of the Department of Agri culture. New Bern is the metropolis for a large farming section and weather nformation collected and disseminated here would reach the farmers of a large district. We do not know just what can be done at present to advance the project, seeing that Congress will consider only tariff and currency matters at the extra session. But some letters from public-spirited men here endorsing the action of Dr. Faison and asking him to keep right behind his bill would certainly do no harm and would show the representative from this district that his efforts are recognized and ap preciated. There were other bills introduced by Representative Faison that are of great local importance and the progress of which will be watched with concern here. B. P. S. PAINTS the best for all purposes, sold in New Bern by J. S. Rasnl&ht Hardware Company Mexico is in such hard lines finan cially that it now seems very probable that the American peace proposals will have to be accepted as a matter of necessity. Should that result be realized it would be a splendid vindi cation of the policy of this country in dealing with Mexico. Dispatches from Mexico City in this connection bring the gratifying news that Euro pean diplomatic pressure is quietly at work in an effort to convince Huerta officials that the policy of the United States is being approved abroad. SIM REWARD $100. The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to thj medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and as sisting nature in doing its work.

Declaring war on the North German Lloyd the Ham burg-American Steamship Company has announced the inauguration of a steer age passenger service between Balti more and Hamburg. The first sailing in this new departure will be from Hamburg September 16. Hostilities were expected about the beginning of 1914 but their early be ginning is directly due to the announce ment of the North German Lloyd three days ago that it would begin regular passenger and freight service between Bremen and Boston the Boston service having heretofore been in the hands of the Hamburg-American. Officials of the latter company declare that they considered the Lloyd's action as a trespass on the Hamburg-American's territory and they will retaliate with a steerage service to Baltimore and they hinted a further war measure. The Lloyd's Boston service starts September 17 with the sailing of the Koln from Bremen. Starting September 16 the Arcadia will sail from Hamburg followed by the Bulgaria and Bosnia at intervals of two weeks The Arcadia will sail from here October 8 on the outward passage and already the Atlantic Transport Company Baltimore agents for the Hamburg Line is ready to make book ings outward. The Bulgaria will sail from Hamburg October 2 and leave Baltimore on the 25th and the Bosnia will leave Hamburg October 16 and Baltimore November 9. In addition to the direct Baltimore service the Hamburg-American con templates a service from this port to Galveston. Upon the inauguration of the Hamburg-American line to this port some years ago passengers were brought here and to accommodate them the Northern Central Railway had build ings put up at Canton where they' went through the same inspection and exam i nation as do those on the North Ger man Lloyd fleet landing at Locust Point. An arrangement between the Lloyd and the Hamburg Lines resulted in the withdrawal of the latter from the passenger business to this port; For years or sincefthe Hamburg Line stopped carrying passengers to this port it has maintained a freight service out of Baltimore that has been one of the largest of any fleet trading to foreign porta Many times It has been neces sary to charter other steamers to fill the sailings. Some think the present movement of both companies will precipitate a rate war which means incoming pas-1 SHARP B.P. S. PAINTS the beat (or all purposes. Sold in New Bern by J. S.
