If we were in Uncle John Lind's place we would be making! tracks out of Mexico by the shortest route The quickest way to get rid of the Mexican mess would be to arm both sides and let 'em kill each other off.

UU Misery likes company 'tis said, so it would seem to be charity on our part to colonize Murphy, Huerta et al down in South Carolina. So long as the President keeps assur ing everybody there will be no armed intervention, just so long will Huerta ignore our ultimatums. If it had been a mud throwing con test the Governor of South Caroina would have responded to the invitation If the students at Trinity want foot ball, we say let 'em have it. If they break their necks, and their parents are willing, it is their own lookout. Chairman W. F. McCombs is incon sistent; he declined the ambassador ship of France on the grounds that it was too expensive and then proceeded to marry. As we not a candidate for anything we didn't feel compelled to go out and work the roads. This doesn't mean that all who work wereoffice seekers, however. Virginia merchants are protesting because of the reduced freight rates in North Carolina but so far, we have not heard any protest on the part of a certain class of them, about express rates being too low. vln the prohibition elections, in Illi nois, where the women vote, it is esti mated that eighty per cent, of the dear ladies voted for it. And yet there are those who pretend to believe that equal suffrage will not have a purifying in fluence on politics. The politicians should get the Govern or to suggest something easier than working the roads next time. They are patriots, all right, and will go a long way to demonstrate their patriotism, but working the raods was just too tough on 'em. Ambition is a strange thing, and will lead men anvwhere. it me ma Vector. day, both Dial and Huerta narrowly . I Wi . . a missea assassination, inear presiden tial aspirations were the cause of this.

IM writer of this letter prefsssii to see something sinister In this celebration movement and intimates that England la using this country as a stick to hold over Germaay's bend, though just what this celebration has got to do with that is hard to see. It is true that in the hut few years there have Men Indications that in can of war between Great Britain and Germany, Uncle Sam's sympathies would be with John Bull. If the "blood is thicker than water" theory is true, this is but natural. England is the mother coun try and the true descendant will hesitate a long time before siding against her. But so far as the Hundred Years' Peace celebration is concerned the only question is whether or not it would have the effect of binding more closely the bonds of friendship that now exist between the two nations. SEWELL'ASKED 0 GET RECEIVES REQUEST FOR RES ' IGNATION ALONG WITH FOUR OTHERS. Asheville, Nov. 7. In a formal let ter Attorney General Mc Reynolds has requested the resignation of District At torney Holton and Marshal Logan of the western district, and District At torney Seawall and Marshal Dockery of the eastern district. This is in line with the demands made upon the at torney general by the North Carolina senators. The letter of the attorney general has of course been treated as official business and therefore confidential, but those who have been permitted to see the official note are amazed at its ten or. In fact, it is declared by friends that the Republican officials could not well resign under the verbiage of the McReynolds letter without appearing to impeach the character of their own ser vices to the government. The letter is said to set forth that the department wishes to effect certain changes to alter "conditions" in the districts and to that end desires the resignation of those now holding the offices. None of the officials concerned will resign. On the contrary, they will car ry the fight to the White House should that drastic step become necessary and the President may be asked to tell the country what he meant when he de clared that Republicans should not be removed for purely political reasons. The attorney general does not inti mate what changes he desires made in the service, nor does he charge that any part of the service has been unsat isfactory. Nevertheless the department asks that the resignation so worded as to indicate that the present office holders are effacing themselves to the end that the suppositious charges can be made. As before stated, none of those concerned have the slightest idea of resigning, unless their mountain friends are greatly in error. Don't "stop" your paper because the publisher doesn't run it to suit you. No editor would think of trying to stop you because you don't run your business to suit him I.airgh at the newspaper man, but studiously refrain from giving him a chance to laugh at you for thinking you are spiting him by being one of the few who try to starve him to death by withdraw ing support. Give the editor credit for being honest and he will give you credit for having common sense. A people and their paper have more in terests in common than they have things to disagree about, but it is simply astonishing how many newspapers keep right on running after two to three people decide to boycott them and ruin their business by the withdrawal of support.

MASS MEETING OF STRIKERS State Governor In Address Tells Strikers He Is In Sym pathy With Them. Indianapolis, Nov. 7. Indiana's en tire National Guard consisting of more than 2,000 soldiers, are encamped in different parts of Indianapolis tonight ready for duty in connection with the strike of employes of the Indianapolis Traction & Terminal Company. Spe cial trains brought the troops under hurried orders and they were detrain ed in the suburbs, virtually surround ing the town. Great secrecy was maintained as to the movement and arrival of the mili tia and few citizens knew that the troops had been called out until late today. The trains bringing the soldiers were stopped outside of Indianapolis by officers of the National Guard and given directions. All companies were of such number that it was deemed safe to bring them into the city. This was done to prevent any clash with the strikers, who after learning the troops had been called out were on the downtown streets in large numbers. The troops will not begin duty until early tomorrow morning. Whether the street cars are to be manned by soldiers, officers in charge would not say tonight. Martial law had not been declared early tonight, but such a proclamation is expected to be issued from the Governor's office before morning. I.ate this afternoon nearly .100 wo men, members of the Garment Work ers' Union, rushed across the State House Lawn into the capitol and to the Governor's office, where they de manded that Governor Ralston force arbitration and call a special session of the State Legislature. Many of the women were hysterical and Mrs. Edna Davis, president of the Union, declar ed: "We are willing to take up arms to help win this strike. Governor Ralston, answering the women, asserted that he had no au thority to force arbitration, but that he had taken an oath as Governor of Indiana, to support the constitution and to enforce the law. He said he was in sympathy with the union men, but could not allow a condition of lawlessness to exist and it was his sworn duty to protect life and pro perty. A suit for a receiver of the street car company, which was set for hearing today, was postponed until tomorrow because of the illness of'an attorney for the company. A second suit for a receivership was filed late today by Judge Frank Roby, former member of the State Appellate Court. No attempt was made by the om- pany to move cars today. The mass meeting of the strikers at noon on the State House lawn was at tended by a large crowd. All the speakers urged the strikers to assist in preserving order. When it was announced that the militia would be here today the crowd jeer ed. Governor Ralston was asked to ad dress the mass meeting. He told the strikers that he was not responsible for present conditions and that he had done everything in his power to ar range a settlement. "Within the last five days," said the Governor, "lives and property have been destroyed. From my window I have seen laws violated. When I be came Governor of Indiana, I took an oath to see that the laws were enfor ced and that 1 must do. BOY SCOUTS TAKE ANOTHER "HIKE." Yesterday afternoon the local Boy Scouts took another "hike.' On this occasion the Scouts were divided into two bands and while one band went ahead and "biased a trail" the other followed several blocks behind, pick ing up the scent along the road. The local band of Boy Scouts is proving popular with the boys of the city and their number has been Considerably increased during the past few weeks. ROBBERS OF FREIGHT CARS WILL BE TRIED BY THE GOVERNMENT. (Special to the Journal.) Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 7 The Carlin bill, recently passed by Congress making the robbery of freight oars, baggage cars, and express cars wrigaged ia interstate commerce and the robbery of interstate shipments from platforms and stations a federal oftenee, is a law with teeth ia it and sharp ones at that as was svidonced in the federal court here when John L. Parker was given s sentence of six years in the United States prison for robbing a shiprnen of shoes consigned to Glazen, Mass., from a car in the Birmingham yards on May 4th. Parker was also implica ted in robbing a shipment of notions consigned to Avondale, Ala., from a car in the Birmingham yards on the night of July 30th, and Otis Williams and Arthur Goodeye who assisted him were given sentences of four years and six months and three years and six months respectively in the United States prison. Under the Carlin law, the prosecution of car and depot thieves is greatly simplified and the certainty of convic tion is much greater as the federal statutes do not provide the loopholes found in various state laws through which many criminals whose guilt was clearly proved have been enabled to escape on technicalities. As the re sult of the operation of this law, it is believed that criminals will recognize the danger of tampering with freight cars and depots and that there will be a great decrease in thefts of this character which frequently cause ser ious inconvenience and loss to shippers as well as to the railroads. A DISCARDED i CIGARETTE BE LIEVED TO HAVE STARTED BLAZE. Jacksonville, Nov." -7. That cigar ettes will not only do harm one Way, but are calculated to do harm in other ways, is a fact of which Messts.' B. B. and A. J. Hurst, can state as a truth. These gentlemen or rather the former experienced a severe loss by fire Monday at 2 o'clock when his stables and barn were burned to the ground. In the barn was his year's work of hay, two nice young mules and a mule belonging to Mr. A. J. Hurst. Just how the fire was started is not known, however Mr. "A. J. Hurst, owner of one of the mules which was burned, was here yesterday, and stated that he was satisfied that it caught from a pipe or cigarette being smoked by one of the boys, who were at the time working on the farm. In the bam was a good lot of hay, and while around the barn it is thought that the hay was ignited and this caused the damage. Mr. George A. Hurst, a brother of the gentleman above referred to was seen, and asked what he thought from the information he could gain, the damage would amount to, and stated, that it could be no less than two thousand dollars under any circum stances. He also stated that there was no insurance whatever. Friends of these gentlemen throughout the county will read the above with regret.
