Entered at the Postoffice, New Bern, N. C, as second-class matter. All the European nations appear to be trying to get on the Wilson- Mexican band wagon. So much for having a well thought out policy and sticking to it. The President is steering his currency program through with the same fi m ness and steadfastness of purpose that characterized and is characterizing his position with reference to the tariff bill. fit is claimed that satisfactory pro gress is being made in the science of aviation. But to the average person the science seems to be as dangerous for those who follow it as it ever was. Two men lost their lives Sunday at Rouen, France. Saturday's Goldsboro Atgus con tains the report of the activities of the Goldsboro Chamber of Commerce dur ing" the past year. Secretary Sherman has been bringing things to pass. The record of his achievements should be calculated to make the other commercial secretaries of the State take notice. Among the other things accomplished by the Goldsboro Chamber of Commerce during the past year is a system of ornamental lighting of the principal business streets. This is an improvement which, if made in New Bern, would please many of its citizens besides making the place more pleasant and attractive to visitors. The surprising is always happening in politics. It was freely predicted that Mayor Gaynor of New York City would be named by Tammany to succeed himself. But Tammany leaders have "designated" E. E. McCall to head the Tammany ticket. It is said that in the past Tammany leaders have "designated" men for nomination and then failed to nominate them. There is a possibility that this is the game now. And if so the politics of the sit uation will not be so surprising after all. BRISBANE ON TEMPERANCE. Arthur Brisbane, editor of the New York Evening Journal, in the issue of that publication for August 19, has a lengthy editorial headed "One Great National Question is the Temperance Question," and in it contends that the editors of the country can solve the Question. Mr. Brisbane also gives his ideas of how the question ought to be solved. His plan fs in brief to apply the prohi tion laws as now applied to all bever ages containing alcohol to any appre ciable extent, only to those containing more than eight per cent, of alcohol and to encourage, under regulation and pure food laws, the milder drinks and light wines. There is nothing new about this way of handling the liquor problem. It has many champions. The trouble divergence as to the facts on which conclusions can be formed. Mr. Brisbane claims for instance that since the army canteen was abolished and it was thus made impossible for soldiers to buy wines and beers both drunkenness and desertions in the army have increased. Yet about a year ago a prominent army officer came out in a public statement in which he de dared that the abolition of the canteen had resulted in the improvement of the health and the morals of the army Why should not one who is seeking the truth be as ready to accept the state ment of the army officer as that of Mr. Brisbane? However, it has to be admitted that Mr. Brisbane has presented his side of the question very effectively His views on the temperance question, too, may have something to do with William Randolph Hearst's ability to pay him fifty thousand dollars a year as editor of the Evening Journal For it is not to be doubted that the brewers and wine manufacturers do not let such a service as the Evening Journal through the ability of Mr. Brisbane is always in position to render them go unrewarded. ARRIVAL OP THE 4:11 TRAIN IN HOMEBURG. George Fitch, the Illinois funny man, it writing a series of Homeburg sketches for the American Magazine. In the September number he tells about the arrival of the 4:11 train in Home burg. The following is an extract: "It's the town's pastime. We all do It. Whenever Homebarg man has noth ing else to do at four o'clock, he steps over to the depot and joins the long line which leans up agsinst the depot vail and keeps it in place during the roll call in years. Old Bill Dorgan, the drayman, has stood on the platform every day since the line was built, rain or shine. Josh James, the colored por ter of the Cosmopolitan Hotel, knows more traveling men than William J. Bryan. If he was absent from his post the engineer wouldn't know where to stop the train. The old men come crawling down on nice days and sun themselves for an hour before the train arrives. The boys sneak slyly down on their way from school and stand in flocks worshipping the train butcher, who is bigger than the Washington Monument to them. "There's the headlight half a mile down the trackl She's coming fast, ten minutes late, and, just because you've been lonesome all afternoon and need exercise, you slip into your coat and hastle down. Just as you get to the de pot, No. 1 1 comes in with a crash and a roar, bell ringing, steam popping off, every brake yelling, platforms loaded expectation intense, confusion terrific, all nerves a-tingle, and fat old Jack Ball, the conductor, lantern under arm, sweeping majestically by on the bottom step of the smoker. Young Red Nolan and Barney Gastit, two of the station agent's innumerable amateur helpers, race for the baggage car with their truck, making a terrible uproar over the old planks. The mail clerk dumps the sacks. Usually he gets a stranger in the shin with them. Nothing foing to day. Just missed a travelling man. We still tell of the time the paper sack scooted across the icy platform and stood Mayor Andrews on his head. He wanted to abolish the whole post office-department." Peace is nearer in Mexico than it has been in many months. A policy of sanity and decency carefully mapped out in Washington by men who believe that a thing is never settled until it is settled right, is commending itself to the European powers with the re suit that it looks now as if the whole world will line up behind the American proposal that a constitutional election be held and that Huerta agree not to be in the race for President. Just at this time the friends of Governor Sulzer of New York State ought to be standing together. But it appears that they are not, one fac tion wanting to retaliate on Charles F. Murphy by trying to have him in dieted for conspiracy and the other faction -declaring that they will have nothing to do with any such undertak ing. In union there is strength and right now is the time when the Govern nor's friends oughtjto be uniting their efforts to vindicate him instead of engaging in quarrelings and bickerings among themselves. IN BAD TASTE. Leo Frank, a factory superintendent, was convicted on Monday in Atlanta of the murder of Mary Phagan, a girl whose dead body was found in the basement of Frank's factory. When the prosecuting attorney left the court room he was lifted to the shoulders of several men and curled in triumph for a hundred feet or more. ' This part of the day's events could well have been omitted. It was of course a terrible thing for Mary Phagan to lose her life under the horrible and shameful con ditions which obtained in connection with her death. But it was also a ser ious thing for Leo Frank to have had recorded against him a judgment whi h probably meant his ignominious death. It is right for justice to be meted out to the guilty, but to exult in the unhappiness of even a convicted man is in decidedly bad taste. THE WIDTH OF EDITORIAL COL UMNS. The Raleigh News and Observer outdoes both the New York World and The Richmond Virginian, those champions of the wide editorial column, appearing since Sunday, and apparent ly for keeps, with editorial columns about fifty per cent wider than the average standard newspaper column The change certainly gives the editor ial page of the Old Reliable a distin tinctive appearance and we suspect that it will have the effect of making the paper more attractive to readers as it introduces a certain air of the novel and unique that does not obtain in papers all of whose columns are of the same width. But the newspaper craft does not like the wide editorial column as is evidenced by the fact that so few newspapers affect it, The plain old thirteen em variety is good enough for the g.eatc.- part of the press as far as we have seen $100 REWARD SIM. 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 ili medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's 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. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testi monials. Address: F. J.

This thing of having policewomen as well as policemen has its disadvant ages as Is shown by the experience of Chicago where men are getting into trouble for attempting to flirt with lady cops. The New York World very wisely observes that Chicago ought ti have better sense than to have policewomen good looking enough to be Airled with Harry Thaw could not, if he hud tried, have found a better way to get rid of a large part of the wealth of hia family than his scheme of trying to get away from Matteawan.
