WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1917. A British jury has "written" the American "unwritten law" into the laws of that country. TKE'STUARTS OF ENtSLAN 0. In speaking oi despotic Kings, The I News and Observer alludes to , thje Stuarts of England. It classes James I as the most autocratic of Icings in theory. Thoroughly learned in the: books of his day, it says, he preached absolutism and claimed to rule by di vine right, but., he never practiced what he preached His 'people never cared a continental vhat he thought or said, butwhenhis jspn, .the unfor tunate Charles I, 'oiigntto practice his father's preachments they rose in rebellion and "struck the crown from the head and the head from the shoul ders" ' of their King. 4And yet says The News and Observer, there must have jbeen something noble in that Stuart, dynasty. It is fheme of de licious poetry and patriotic romance. It was an old daughter of Scotland who sang": ' I ance had sons, but now hae nane; I bred them toiling sairly; And I would bear -tWa: a' again, And lose them a' for Charlie.

Although eight .months have esciped, the, State, officer on .whom this work was imposed has not yet seen fit to comply with the order of th'' Legislature. Why this ignoring by an official of his duty? Isn't there an explanation? It can hardly be in advertence or simple neglect of duty. rodents 'i'ihe'ftTnited States . every year,, , The article',, in "the ' Scientific American suggests ..the i wisdom .. of sparing the snakes so that they ,will reduce the ravages by rodents.

The participants went so far as to get a license from the register of deeds for the couple and a magistrate to per form the "mock" ceremony.

The standard on the braes o' Mar Is up and streaming, rarely; The gathering pipeon tiochnagar Is sounding loud and clearly; The Heiland men, from hill and glen, In martial hue, with bonnets blue Wi' belted plaids and burnished blades, Are coming late and arly. James I was as complete a pedant few days ago,- Congressman E. W. j Pou said, in sneakine of the attitude . of men in public life toward the war.: J "Here and now I predict there will not be elected to the 66th Congress in the campaign next year a single Senator , or. Representative about twhose devotion to America there: is any doubt at .all." Certainly no such man should be elected.

By the time this war is over Tur key in Asia will be about the only country in which Emperor William will be able to find a refuge and he will hardly be a welcomed guest there.

After that data the card wont "go" unless it has an extra one cent stamp on it. Icelanders want the prohibition law of their country repealed. A nnmpr. ously signed petition for its repeal has been presented to the govern ment. They say prohibition does not lessen drunkenness. Commerce and Finance contains an article on Senator LaFolIette, by F. R. Serri, one of the regular writers in that publication. This is the way he sizes up the Wisconsin Senator: "For it should be evident to all that what LaFolIette says or does is not longer of sufficient significance to jus tify either editorial comment, or space on the front page. There was a time when this was not true. Up to 1912 or thereabouts he was a powerful fig ure in our national life. Courageous, independent, he was a superb cham pion of the people's rights in Wiscon sin and in the United States Senate. He was in the midst of every battle for democracy, unafraid, defiant and incorruptible. It was then that' he earned the name of 'Fighting Bob', a title which fitted his whole career, his very face and his straight hair. "But since then there has been a swift and almost total degeneration. The gallant fighter turned into a fu tile obstructionist, his mind narrow ed and weakened? and today the man whose courage in his speech on the railroads in 1906 -won the admiration of the country says we, have no real grievance against Germany. The spectacle is a sad one. Denunci ation is useless. His influence has disappeared with .the breakdown of his former statesmanship. There is probably no one, unless he is already beyond recovery, who now considers seriously LaFoilette's war opinions. The Senator may as well attempt to prove thati:.tneearh' is flat as that the Unite,. Sjtat'e8 has . not just grounds for its ..declaration of. war. He would make ' abbut as many con verts in the one case as in the other." STATE NEW 8. The student battalion of 'the Uni versity had, its first taste of modern warfare methods here yesterday, when the four companies were divid ed into attacking and defending par ties and maneuvered in the various basic principles of combat tactics as applied to the infantry organizations. Chapel Hill dispatch to News and Observer. Carson Palmer laid a half dozen ap ples on the Citizen's counter the other day that were as handsome as can be grown anywhere. The Palmer place, with 250 trees, refutes the old idea that good apples canot be grown in the sandhills. It wasn't so many years ago that a plate of these apples took the medal at the national apple show at St. Louis. Sandhill Citizen. to be entirely fair, he says that he knows cities where automobile traffic i s regul a ted. ; " v " Ji- The automobile is an ever present danger. It takes its toll of life cer tainly if not jregularly. The average community may go along a few weeks without its automobile horror, buf about the time it settles down to what it thinks, isgcng,(tp, bea period of calm some new tragedy comes along to remind afresh of the omni-present danger. The laws that we have should be rigidly enforced and as a rule more drastic laws should be passed. The automobile danger is not one to be reckoned with lightly. I 3" maad King, New and Medical Author K X DEAD LETTER LAWS. The fact that so many men sum moned to the colors are rejected for physical conditions does not mean that we are a nation of inferior men physically. The physical standard for the American army has always been extremely high and it is being fol lowed closely by the examining phys icians in the selective draft service. That is all there is to it. How comes it, we wonder, that not until very recently have any steps been taken to see tnat the law as to sanitation in." the hotels of the State is being complied with? That law was passed eight months ago and not un til the traveling men made protest of conditions did the persons on whom the enforcement of the law is imposed take any step to learn whether it was being obeyed, much less to enforce compliance ' where - violated.

Pender. They did not have to wait very long, we are happy to say, since fully two hundred representative citizens made known their sentiments as to the mat ter at a mass meeting held in the Court House, where addresses were delivered by several prominent men of both New Hanover and Pender counties. It means that Pender will get a valuable man to look after the farming interests of the county by a very small outlay of money.
