Entered at the Postoffice, New Bern, N. C, as second-class matter. They now have the "Soul Kiss." We don't know what the correct moni ker for the old fashioned one is but we are arcstrong for it just the same. Sulzer is still trying to win his case on technicalities but the might as well make up his mind that if he is to win it must be on the merits of the case. The fence having blown down around the tennis grounds west of the Elks' Temple and nobody using it, why not clear it up and convert it into a play ground for the children? A Russian "drok" after a visit to Newport has selected the prettiest girl inArnerica. Of course this selection will not be accepted. No one is qualified for such a task without first visiting New Bern. "The mills of the gods grind slowly, but they grind exceedinly fine," it is said. Still there are some people who, are so small that could dance a tango between the upper and nether stones without endangering a hair on their heads. We arc sory that Governor Craig has recommended acceptance of the railroads' proposal withou insisting on some relief for the port cities as well well as the inland cities. We hope the legislature will yet do something. But if it doesn't the only thing left to do is to do the best we can under the circum stances. We believe the State will yet sec the folly of not looking cut for the eastern cities. Here's cigars on New York to win the World's series, From press reports our delegation was heard from up at Raleigh. . A clan of American counterfeiters visited Europe recently and the way those foreign suckers bit was a dream Of course we don't want to deprive the other parts of the State of what is coming to them, still we would like to come in with the rest. Teddy's butler stole $10,000 from him recently, but he can get on the chau tauqua and make it back in a week. Recent disclosures in Norfolk reveal the fact that the railroad and the steamship lines are combined, or rather that the railroads own the boat lines. Slick Ducks, those railroad people. The more evidence heard, the worse it looks for Sulzer; still we hope that he wdl be able to give himself a clean bill of health; but it looks dubious. The railroads have succeeded in one thine thev wanted all the time us up among ourselves. -divided Realizing that women are going to have what they want anyhow, we are infavor of woman suffrage whenever women want it.

Dr. Joseph Hyde Pratt, of the North Caro ina Geo ogical Survey sends ou a circular letter to the press in regard t road building in which he makes th tatcment that more than $900,000 arc wasted annually in this Stat inrougn unscicntinc metnoos in con structing our roads and not by provid ing means for their upkeep after the are built. This is a serious matter so, pod we have not doubt that it Dr. Pratt says that this state of affairs is dac in a grat measure to petty loca politics and urges the creation of State Highway Commission organized along lines looking to efficiency and not preferment. We are inclined to agree with him. If there arc any things that should be kept out of politics they are good roacs and schools. Good road are next to schools. Other States have these Highway Commission and if they are a good thing for them flhen we think North Carolina should have one. - More than $3,000,000 have been voted in bonds since the last session of the legislature for the purposes of road building. We cannot afford to waste $900,000 in a year foolishly.. Thenewsycomeslfromj New York that the Republicans of that State have adopted resolutions urging a change in the manner of selecting delegates to the national convention, the change being directed at the Southern States which have, heretofore, been a big factor in selecting the candidate and a veiy httle one in electing him. 1 bis resolution was passed over the head of that devout supporter of repre sentative government, as opposed to mob rule, Mr. William Barnes, Jr We had thought that Mr. Barnes was supreme in New York State matters but it seems that the majority of those who once were his followers in any path ne chose to lead them, have teen the light. There is nothing to hinder them It is as plain as day. They people will no longer follow leaders of this type. A new day is dawning. Only the wil fully blind fail to see it and, evidently, the erstwhile followers of Barnes have ssea it and realize that if they ever hope to be given another lease of power they must become more progressive. The same thing is true in sll parties. The people are demanding more voice in the affairs of Government and the day when a few could gather in a dark room and fix things to suit themselves, has about passed. The Tennessee legislature has met, which means that the next few days' news will be enlivened with reports of riots, gun play, etc. " 'If a man die shall he live again? Science has told us much. It has dis- overed the laws of the physical uni verse. It has tracked disease to its lair and will yet rout it. It has explored the earth, the air, and the sea. But 'the years of man are three score and ten' still, and from beyond the portal from whence we set forth upon the long journey no word has come, and faith and hope must yet be the only candles to light our pathway." State Journal. But we dream that the day will yet come when the mystic veil will be drawn aside and man given a glimpse of that foreign strand, beyond the evening and the sunset. If it ever comes to pass it will be by the hand of science. Science is relentless, ever seeking to know the seemingly unknowable and its revelations arc marvelous. We believe it will yet peer into the great beyond "from whose bourn no travel ler has yet returned.' ' T. A. Green returned last night from Black Mountain where he has bee spending the summer.

A male res idem ot Illinois wants a position as a clerk in the internal revenue service. and some time ago he wrote the Sec rctary of the Treasury stating his wish es. Since the receint of the first letter by Mr. McAdoo, the latter's secre tary, Byron Newton, has intercepted 20,000 letters from residents of Illinois asking the secretary ot give the appli cant the job he wants, which happens to be under the civil service. An investigation by the Treasury showed that the applicant had 20,000 or more letters printed and the same number of envelopes addressed and stamped and then sent them to his friends and his friends' friends to sign and send to the Sesretary of the Treasury. Every "friend" apparently signed a letter.

The "high cost of dyinu" disturbed Georire E. Downey, comptroller of the treasury today when he was called upon to de cide officially what constitutes a "de cent burial." The widow of a lighthouse employe who died at Washington, N. C, in the line of duty and was buried in Balti more, presented a bill for $198, which the comptroller said was too high, where I t ' .a. . oy ne proceeded to cut the amount in two. A hearse and one hack for the widow the comptroller conceded, might be es sential to a "decent burial" of a married man, but he refused to psy for a funeral ortege of seven carriages. He like wise declined to approve a black suit for the corpse, costing $10, underclothes snd hoee $1.25 and newspaper "advertis ing" in the nature of funeral notices to the amount of $3.40. The government bought ths dead man a casket and bos for $27 at Washington, N. C, but the comptroller refused to pay for a $70 casket to which the body was trans ferred when it reached Baltimore.

The instruments which were ordered several days ago for the membe s of The Peoples Band, New Bern new musical organization, have been shipped and are expected to arrive here on Wednesday of next week. These instruments must be paid for at once and the band members have decided to make a vigorous campaign among the business men of the city for the purpose of raising enough money to defray this expense. About one hun drcd dollars has aleady been subscribed but a much larger sum is needed and the citizens are urged to contribute when called upon by the band members This band will be a credit to the city and every New Bernian is proud of the organization. GRO BELIEVE NE IS COKE" FIEND ANDREW TWIGG ASSERTS THAT WHISKEY CAUSED HI3 DOWNFALL. Crazed by some "kill-'em-quick t.i-1 . wnisKcy or an overdose ot cocaine. Andrew Twiggy the negro who was pla ced under arrest on Friday by one of the local policemen and who created such a disturbance around the Citv Hall, whWe he was first taken and at the county jsil where he was later incarcerated, was brought before Mayor Hangert yesterday for a preliminary hearing. Twigg was in a pitiable condition. The effects of the whlskev or ' w had worn off during the night he spent in jsil snd he could barely stand on his feet so nervous was he. Noting the condition of the man, Mayor Bangert would not hear the esse while he waa this condition and he was sent back to jail to remain until he was in better shape. That Twigg was full of cocaine the opinion of the police, but he toutly denies this. The officers have seen the effects of whiskey in sll forms but according to their statement It hey hare never encountered a wilder msa Mrs. Sarah M.

Captain Satterfield, commander of the local branch of the Salvation Army, left last evening or Kinston where to lay he will raise funds to be used in defraying the expense of taking a wayward girl of that place to the Army's Rescue Home at Greenville, S. C. This case is a pathetic one in the extreme and the Salvation Army is exerting every effort to redeem this infortunate girl and the citizens of Kinston have already promised to give 'aptain Satterfield assistance Tn any ossible way. He will spend today n that town and return to New Bern tomorrow and will probably take the young woman to Greenville on Monday. The rescue work done by the local hranch of the Salvation Army is attrac ting the attention of the public of this section and their efforts are re reiving the commendation of all During the past few months a numbe of young women who were on the road to ruin have been rescued and taken to the Army home at Greenville ;ind very encouraging reports have been received from the management in regard to their deportment after being entered there. Mr. Editor, Kindly allow me a few words in re gard to the slit skirt, which the lady (?) was wearing in New Bern, that you have mentioned in different copies of the Journal recently. In replying to the editor of the Bayboro Sentinel you ask has the man wet his sense of the beautiful? It may be that he has, or perhaps he never had any sense of the beautiful. But my wager is that he docs not consider anything so unrefined, imprudent and debauchful as a woman in a "Slit hobble," as being beautiful. The "hobble" was no doubt invented with a good motive. It would serve a double purpose in reducing the "cost of high living." That is, it cost less to' produce a "hobble," and the wearers of them would, of necessity, have to stay at home more on account of fa tigue in walking when the pedal ex tremities were confined to such a small precinct. This being as you say "a progressive and fast age, the difficulty was soon overcome by slitting it a little way up the side;" and if such is tolerated by the better element of the people, it is but a little while before they will not only be slit up the side but up the front and back as well. Not merely for ease in locomotion, but, because the populace are attracted by such vestment. In your first article you stated that there was nothing in the city ordinance prohibiting the wearing of slit skirts. Now, I am not at all familiar with your city ordinances, but I feel quite sure that you'rJo have an ordinance which prohibits vulgarity and immorality on the streets, and it is the duty of the officers to enforce the laws, and not let their sympathy.over-rule their judg ment. . jJjW W.
