Entered at the Postoffice, New Bern, N. C, as second-class matter. You can leave it to the Greensboro News to start something. Its latest is a presidential boom. Governor Craig did exactly right in pardoning Supt. Davis of the anti saloon league. He was the victim of malice, and but for his activity in the past would never have been in dicted at all. The Wilmington Star celebrated its 46th birthday, recently by blowing itself to a new home. The Star is a good newspaper, and here's hoping it will live to see many more birthdays and that each will witness a prosper ity even greater than the last. The Journal invites its readers to let us know their opinion on current events. Write us a letter and tell us whether you agree with us or not. We want your ideas. Feel as free to criticize it as to approve. At any rate drop us a line; we want to keep in touch with you. In spite of predictions that the tariff bill will cheapen beef, it is being asserted tht the near future will see steak a dollar a pound. That sounds out of reason and we do not believe it will ever reach such a price; still if it does the remedy is to raise more cattle. If you have money to spend, spend it in New Bern, if what you want i9 here. Make "Buy at home" your mot to. Slowly Tammany is weaving the web around Sulxer and each day is making it more diftV::': f. r him to extricate himself, i course when the governor goes on he may explain it all to the satisfaction of the Court if not to the country at large. There is no way of knowing what he may have up his sleeve. We hope he has enough to ave himself. In any aspect he is preferable to Tammany. The Columbia Record, of a recent date, has an able editorial on lynch law It will be remembered that recently a white woman, laboring under a hallucination, brought about by physi cal weakness, accused a negro of the nameless crime. A mob gathered, and only the heroism of the sheriff saved the poor negro from being lynched. The negro was tried and found not guilty, there being practically no evidence against him and practically no doubt of his innocence. That goes to show the great evil in lynch law. It is indefensible at any time, but if they would get the right man every time the ultimate re sult would not be so bad. But that is just the trouble with the mob. It never stops to think. If it did, the chances are that ti would never start on its murderous errand. It is out for blood and it takes a victim to satisfy it and it little cares whether it has the right man or not. It !s a shame that such as this should be tolerated in the twentieth century. There is no excuse for it. A miscarriage of justice is too seldom to offer any justification. If it were practically impossible to get justice in the courts then there would be no other recourse, but that is not the case. The lynching at Charlotte recently was without the slightest justification. The victim in that case would undoubtedly have got what was coming to him and by due process of law. The remedy lies in swift and sure punishment for those who take part in such disgraceful affairs. As for South Carolina there is little hope II that she will be saved the shame of such outrages on justice, with ss frequency in the future until she (r herself of such political opportui as the present governor of that As long as the chief executiv avowed advocate of lynch la is no hope. Our sister States' ales In first letting rid of the demagotue, did then proceed to punish the parti cipants in the crime. So far the p o le f that State have evinced little l , e o get him out of the way; in ict he majority of the people seem to be with Urn. Last year the issue was clear cut and he won easily. The way it looks now ha will surely go to the Senate. If that is the disposition of the peo ple of that State, the pleading' of the Record and others are la vain. We will tolerate the sat skirt, even look favorably upon it, but we draw tht line at cigarettes. Beginning today the Now Bern Circulating Library will open at 4 o'clock instead of 5 o'clock as previously. The Back Home and Freight Rate e i'tion of the News and Observer was esomething fine. It contained a wealth of information. Its readers should lay it aside for future reference. The way baseball has' grown upon the American people is evidenced by the space newspapers give it. Edi torials on the National game may be found in all the leading dailies. Only a few years ago this would have seemed too trivial a matter for editorial dis sention. Many fathers have striven hard and even denied themselves to send their sons to college, and if the boys fail to produce a winning football team they will be ungrateful indeed What per cent, of otherwise sane men. do you suppose, would, under no circumstances, spend a night in a graveyard where nothing at all would likely harm them? The end crowns all, and that old common arbiter, Time, will one day end it. Shakespeare. There is nothing: truer. It matters not what position we occupy on this terrestrial sphere. Time will one day bring us down to the common level. Even though you may be a president, a captain ol industry, a great states men ot an humble worker in the fields, the same fate awaits all. Each in the end must bow to the Grim Reaper and the once mightiest potentates of the earth will be on a par with the humblest peasant of the land all consigned to the dust from whence they came. One plank in the platform of the Feminists demands a single standard of morality. A noted Feminist writer frankly declares that it is not their intention to "drag" up man to the present level of woman. Logically, then, the only alternative left is to drag woman down. It has been claimed all along by the opponents of equal nuTraee that the result of woman s dabbling in politics would lower her in the estimation of man. This has been so stoutly denied by the suffra gettes that we are not prepared for this admission on the part of the Feminists. . We agree with the Feminists, how ever, that there should be a single moral standard. It seems absurd that a member of one sex should be put under the ban for the same acts that amember of the other may commit with impunity Such an unfair standard is nothing more than a relic of barbarism that has survived to the present day. Surely man is held accountable to the same degree for his sins, in the eyes of God, as woman. We do not believe the Deity discriminates between the sexes. If not, why should we? Many a boy starts out in life handi capped because he doesn't know how to do any one thing well. Wherever he goes for employment he must start in at the very lowest wages because in his youth he never mastered any trade. If a boy will but master any one calling and become thoroughly pro ficient in that line, he need never be without work, as a rule. Furthermore, he can always demand good wages for proficiency is always rewarded The printer's trade is not a bad one A boy can begin that when quite small and by the time he is grown, if an apt student, he will have mastered the details and will be in a position to demand good wages. In these days a good monotype or linotype operator can make a salary of $100 to $125 per month. There are few other trades that offer such opportunities. True, the salary to begin with is not the largest, but that is the case with all the best trades. Right now in the Journal office there is an opportunity for two or more bright boys to start in and learn the business. Some enterprising boys should grab these opportunities and work op to the top. A good reward awaits them in the future if they will but apply themselves and have patience. A great many of the top-notchers in the newspaper world started just that way. Many of our foremost editors and owners of newspapers were, at one time, printer's devils. And besides the monetary recom pense there is also an excellent educa tion to be obtained from doing this sort of work. The enterprising boy will become a reader through constant contact with reading matter; and the way to get an education is to become reader. It is also much better that the boy should be at work than hanging around on the streets smoking cigar ettes and learning bad language. Let some father who has an idle boy give him this chance. It may mean the starting of a successiul career in a fascinating business. Let the boy try it. ii E" FIEND TO I T A NDREW TWIGG GIVEN PRELIM INARY HEARING BEFORE MAYOR A. H. BANGERT. Andrew Twiggs, the cocaine erased n gro who went on a rampage a few days ago in the Northern part of the city and created much excitement in that section, wss given a preliminary hearing yesterday morning before Mayor A. H Bangert and was bound over to the ne ( term of Craven county Superior Court Being unable to give SUPERIOR COUR bond for his appearance in the sum of fifty dollars the defendant was committed to jail. Twiggs is still in bad physical con dition. After being arrested by a police man he fought ferociously, and upon finding that he was no match for the officer he began biting himself and succeeded in tearing several large pieces of flesh from his hands and arms. These wounds are giving him trouble and in addition to this the drug hat left him a nervous wreck. The negro still sticks to his story that he had not taken cocaine and had Only had a few drinks of whiskey However, this statement is given not the least credence. : Personals Friday September 17 D.

BIG SERVICE IS PREDICTED Care Taken To Give Small Mer chants Same Chance as Large Firms. Washington, Sept. 30. The new parcel post regulations are working so well that the mails are practic ally as heavy as during the usual Christmas season. A large num ber of parcels are being mailed for dc- ivery in the first and second zones un ler the reduced postage rates. Adver tising matter constitutes a large part of the increased weight of mails, but the bulk of it apparently relates to the parcel post or mail order business of department stores and merchants. That the parcel post will more than pay its own way is beyond question. according to officials of the Post-Office Department. While Postmaster-Gen eral Burleson will not predict a sur plus for the fiscal year, which ended June 30, other officials of the depart ment insist that there is no possible doubt on that point. They go further and declare that a surplus of approxi mately $10,000,000 is a certainty, d le largely to the establishment of the parcel post. Postmaste.-General Burleson takes the conservative position that he wants to show a surplus that cannot be ex plained away by any kind of figuring. He says that he had in contemplation two further changes in the parcel post system that would make an annual surplus a certainty. The exact nature of these changes he would not indicate. The present surplus is made up large ly of increased postage revenues from the sale of fourth class mail matter between Jan. ant! J ne 30. For that six-month period the revenues from fourth class matter approximated $14,000,000. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1912, the receipts were ap proximately $12,500,000, or nearly a million and a half dollars less than for the first six months of the parcel post system. The railroads received no com pensation for carrying parcel post 'mat ter between Jan. 1 and June 30, but they were paid the usual compensation for carrying the regular weight of fourth class matter. As all fourth class matter bore parcel post stamps, the railroads technically were paid for car rying parcel post matter, but were not given an increased compensaion on account of the large volume of business. After deducting the amount which the railroads were paid for carrying the usual' volume of fourth class matter and all other charges that can be prop erly, credited to the parcel post, a sur plus of several million dollars remains. This of course will not be as large at the end of the next fiscal year, during which the railroads will be paid an ad ditional 5 per cent, for carrying parcel post mail and other expenses will be added. In addition to the parcel post surplus there was a saving of $1,500,000 during the fiscal year through sending mags- sine and periodical mail by fast freight. Officials hope to convince Con gress that the extension of this service should be permitted. When it is made to cover the entire country, instead of the Centrsl and Middle Western sec tions, as at present, another $1,500,000 may be added to the annual saving. The aim of the Post Office Depart ment Officials is to make the parcel post a popular system, according to every citisca the same treat meat. For example, the great mail order bouses of the large cities have no monopoly of this system. The smsll merchant has equal rights and privileges. If he is not getting them officials here would like to be told of that fact. J. G. Co, N. C; E. W. Dunn, City; Joe. Leiser, AHentown, Pa.; Bert Wil son, Beaufort; M. B. Parrisb, N. C. I. P.
