"New Born New Bern" for a slogan
is not so bad.
Personally, we are more interested
in the currency question than anything
else.
"Ye are the salt of the earth" say

way Lot felt about his wife.
Our Idea of a trust magnate is the
fellow who owns both the ice factory

Father Schmidt insists that he should

The Colonel is preparing for a trip

It's funny that New York should
squander thousands of dollars to get an
insane man within her borders, isn't
it? And the people are paying the
bills, too.
Anyhow, Huerta is no fool.
Some folks would sign a death warrant

Why not have Bryan extend his

County Commissioner H. T. White,
of Cove City, was among the visitors
here yesterday.
Dr. George A. Attmore, of Stonewall,
was among the professional visitors
in the city yesterday.
Prof, and Mrs. H. B. Craven and
children returned last evening from
Ridgecrest where they have been spend
ing the summer.
Robert Richardson left last evening
for a business visit at Raleigh.
R. W. Richardson, of Dover, was
among the business visitors here yes

Baptist church.
Dr. and Mrs. Richard N. Duffy
returned last evening from Morehead

A year ago this time all the candi
dates and campaign orators were
lauding the "common people" to the
skies. Now, the silence about these
people would make you think their
tribe was extinct.
The so-called melancholy Autumn
days are here but there is no occasion
for being sad. Just think that beyond
the cold and dreary Winter lies another
Spring, with her flowers and the beau
tiful, singing birds.
A doctor claims to have discovered
a remedy that will kill disease germs
without killing the patient which, if
true, entirely refutes the saying that
there is nothing new under the sun.
Some paper, the Greensboro News
we believe, rises to nominate Sulzer
for President and Thaw for Vice-President.
Exercising the newspaper's
prerogative, we suggest to the new
administration the name of W. Travers
Jerome for Attorney General.
The way Tammany persists in the
impeachment proceedings makes it
look as if it had the goods on Sulzer.
Tammany is too slick to go to trial
without some evidence. Such proceed
ing would only refound to the glory
of Sulzer which, if we understand
the situation, is not exactly what
Tammany wants.
BAD TASTE.
The New York World frequently
gives an exhibition of bad taste, but it
has recently gone the limit in offering
Secretary Bryan a salary of eight
thousand dollars a year if he will stop
lecturing while in the cabinet. This is
an insult to the nation. Bryan and the
administration have been subjected
to enough ridicule already at the hands
of the ever ready foreigh critics. Th
spectacular offer of the World can only
serve to increase it and therein the
offense lies. The World should not seek
free advertising at the expense of na
tional dignity, for all that paper hoped
to gain was a little free advertising.
It had no itlea that Bryan would accept
its offer but, on the other hand, would
make him more determined on his
course.
And, be it understood, we are not
upholding Bryan in the policy he has
pursued in this matter. We think
he ought to stay on the job, but that
doesn't justify the World's display of
bad taste.
Each Monday morning when news
is scarce, comes the news that Teddy
is out gunning for the Republican
nomination in 1016. Last Monday was
no exjeption to the rule, The reporters
have this thing all fixed. The way they
have it now, nothing is left, but for
the Colonel to make his speech of
acceptance.
In our opinion these political sharps
are a little premature. 1916 is a long
way off. Many things can happen
bet ween now and then that would
entirely change the complexion of things
A man who would be available today
may be an impossibility by then.
EXTRA SESSION.
FREE MINDS, FREE ANELES.
The truth is that the free mind has
made inevitable the free ankle. Our
girls are no longer content to be tied up
like bales of cotton. They have learned
the use of their legs on the bicycle, on
horseback, and in the hocky field. The
ma - it line leg is not a veiled mystery.
Why should the feminine leg be re
gaido I as a dreadful secret dedicated to
the allurements of the ballet? After all
our girls may not be quite so bold and
quite so bad as we in our flaming in
nocence, imagine. Perhaps they are
right in assaulting the stupid tyranny
of aax. Perhaps they are wise in forcing
us to bear the shattering revelation,
that the end justifies the means. Per
haps they an doing a great and noble
deed la delivering us from the delusion
that the ks we see of than the better.
There is no doubt that they are
rapidly emerging" he chrysalis of
The Legislature meets today
extraordinary session. Matters of great
import to the people of the State
will be considered. The first is the
matter of passing amendments to the
Constitution to be submitted to the
people for their adoption or rejection.
For a long time there has been felt
the need of change in this instrument.
It is behind the times. A great many
changes will be made. A great many
that should be made, in our opinion,
will not.
1 he second is the railroad rate
matter. 1 lie state is aroused as
never before against the railroads
because of their unjust discrimination
against us. Millions of dollars a year
are lost to us because of this. The
people are determined that this shall
stop. If the railroads do not accept
a fair proposition offered them by the
State, then undoubtedly, retaliatory
measures will be adopted by the legis
lature. It is believed and hoped that
they will and thus avert a conflict
that can only prove disastrous to them
in the end. It is the part of wisdom
for them to do it.
This legislature has a great task
before it. It is to be hoped that it will
perform it wisely.

Journal reporter that the farmers

September 3 and that, although they
had suffered heavily, all traces of the

In speaking of the crop conditions
in that section Mr. Weaver ststed that
cotton was somewhat damaged but
that the growers had started the
work of picking the staple from the
fields and that the gins were being
kept busy getting this in shape for the
market and that during the next week
many bales would be offered for sale.
Several weeks have elapsed since
Mr. Weaver's last visit to New Bern
but during this brief period there have
been many improvements which he
noticed and commented upon very
favorably.

Hearing Of Evidence In Impeach

N. Y., Has Begun.
JACOB SCHIFF FIRST WITNESS

Limit Was Put To
The Campaign
Fund.
Uses Of
(Special to the Journal.)
Albany, N. Y., Sept. 24. Brushing
aside technicalities in the impeach
ment of Governor Sulzer, of New York,
the hearing began this afternoon.
After the opening arguments, Jacob
H. Schiff, a New York banker was
called to the stand.
Schiff testified that Governor Sulzer
asked him for money during the
Governorship campaign. Continuing
in his evidence the banker said that
Sulzer came to his office and requested
an amount which was larger than he
was in a position to contribute. How
ever, he gave the Governor a sum
of money and this was not included
in Sulzer's sworn campaign returns.
Henry Morgan, the millionaire treas
urer of the Democratic NationaJ Com
mittee swore he did not limit the use
to which Governor Sulzer might put
campaign contributions.
Morgan's evidence was decidedly
in Sulzer's favor and after several minor
witnesses had been examined the hear
ing was continued until tomorrow.

HOW ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS
WAS LOST.
A MAN who received a legacy kept
the money hidden- In his home
until his death, at which time
the administrator of hla estate
discovered that the money, if it
had been deposited at interest,
would have earned $1,046.00. This
comfortable amount of money was
practically thrown away by the
owner. He kept his money idle
and the earnings were lost. If you
have idle money whether in small
or large amounts, deposit it with
this bank where you will receive a
fair rate of interest and be sure
that the money Is safe and secure.

It seems to us that there is no reason
why any state with access to water
transportation, as this State has, should
not have the benefit of the lowest freight
rates possible. The remedy, it seems
to us, would lie, in a great measure,
in control of inter-state rates. If the
legislature would fix the rates as Wis
consin has done and compel the car
riers to transport freight within the
State at reasonable rates, then with
water rates to our port cities, like
New Bern and Wilmington, we ought
to be on a par with Virginia in the mat
ter of freight rates. After controlling
inter-State rates the next step would be
to develop the ports of the State.
Then, instead of our freight coming
to Norfolk by water and thence by
rail to the various North Carolina
points, as a lot of it does, it would come
to New Bern, Wilmington and other
ports of the State. We would then
get the benefit oi the cheap water
rate to our ports and the benefit of
cheap railroad rate to intra-State
points.
The State must aid in the develop
ment of the ports. It is a matter cf
vital concern to the State. A campaign
of education should be carried on until
the people of the State come to realize
this.

If this had happened in any other
State he would have thought the
fellow was crazy all the time, but here
in North Carolina where the girls are
so pretty, you can't blame a fellow
for wanting the seventh.
The Washington authorities are hope
ful of the Mexican situation and feel
that Huerta is virtually eliminated.
True the provisional President has
given no direct assurances that he will
aot run, but from intimations emanating
from Mexico City it is felt that he has
definitely bound himself not to be a
candidate. Recently Felix Diaz has
been recalled and his candidacy seems
to be on the boom. What improvement
he would be over Huerta and why
the United States should recognize
him, if it does so, after declining to
recognize Huerta, we fail, to see.
