Next to the music of a tree frog, the wail of a disappointed office seeker is about the loneli est Hound on earth. Are you wondering what to do with that dollar? Send it to us and we will seind you a year, of brains. Congress has been engaging in S hot debate as to whether pros perity prevails or not. If Old Pros, cornea nosing around us we'll nab liiini without the for mality of debate. , The statement of the condition Of the Bank of Oaten shows '.-on tinned growth for that prosqx'r ous and useful institution, de spite the fact that two other binks have recently !een estab lfched in that county. The Ad vance hopes that this growth Spells prosperity for Gates conn ty farmers. When a man professing to work for a good cause resorts to Jying to add weight to his argu ment It becomes a question as to whether he will do those, whom he professes to serve as much gooid as harm. Also it puts a question mark as to the sincerity of his motive in the minds of the people who think. Two years ago this paper sup ported D. C. Perry for the letf ialature not only on the ground that he wa a better man than bin opponent but also for the rea son that-i and such a position 'wan taken in these columns he was a candidate of all the people and not of any onte faction, or set of men. The organ that then op .posed him, ridiculed him and heaped- invective upon him now contends that he showed himself worthy of the trust which good citizens whovoted for him ny ed in him.- Relah. E .

COLLIERS AND THE Eastern North Carolimv is the .. .: L only wectjiou whenkwfc; 'have .heard a' good word tot;, the jour- nalmtic ' liiethodH of " William Randolph' Hearst.

Now and then his editorial are on the right side Of some grea,t' question (as when they attack the drink curse), but 'in general his great wealth and the intelligences and energies which it buys work for depredation rather than uplift. Traitorous to truth and to individual mud-sling ing, and muck spreading, Hearsts finger's are busy in corrupt jolfitical bargains. in demagogy, in jingostic im perialism, in fomenting wars tonfl the war spirit. Hearst.' in the twentieth century ben ifrfends those who war on in oculation against vinallpox and typhoid fever; he flights that med ical experimentation which is conquering disease and sparing khuman life. He plays upon ignor ance and prejudice, and prints, alongside news reports of human Uature at its lowest and foulest, advertisments of harmful patent inedidine such as cheat his read ers out of money and health, or hope of health. But Hearst's baleful influence has not been Mconfined to the public that reads ill Su nt llilil V 1lU.'Bf kit Tiru if VlQU reached a greater public through that art of the press which has Pimitated his methods in madly seeking to compete with Hearst in degradation. Fortunately for America, the best, the most ef fective, portion of the contempo rary press fluids it possible to maintain higher ideals and to practice purer ethics without for feif,'..ng either vigor or success. James Keeley. the cockney boy who has made the Chicago "Tri buue'' what it is, and who has now fused Hinnian's bankrupt "Inter Ocean" ami the "Record Herald,'' and lias made them over into a great journal destined per haps to be this country's most influential newspaper James Keeley seo farther than Hearst, and has in his field a greater triumph and a more real in tiunce. And Keeley is only out newspaper man. The Hearst formula is wanning. The man. the issue, for which Hearst stands is. generally speaking, foredoomed to fail. Cham) Clark and the Panama Canal suli sidy are. the latest example of this tendency, but the examiples are infinitely various. Men dis trust Hearst and his hirelings. I And American journalism will le an increasingly constructive force for righteousness and ji tiee as time goes on; already it has rising standards of honesty and decency and service. Dr. Washington Gladden has told the the Lawrence (Kas.) Newspaper Conference that the newspaper profession is "as sacred" as the minister's. But journalism, too, is a ministry; and Dr. Gladden !s looking (as always) not be hind, but ahead." We can but wonder if these phrases, to readers of this news paper, have a famiiar ring.

COCA COLA HABIT, A GHOST We have all heard of ghosts, but none of us has ever seen one. li'.- ihe same wav with CocaColai "ikiuls:'' you can hear about them bat oii might search for them until doom's day and you would! never lind one. Physicians who have treated hundreds of tlioo, ands of drug habit cases, 'nclud ing opium, morphine, cocaine, ai cohol, etc., say that they have 1 fever seen a case where the use of Coca Cola has so fastened it self upon the individual as to con slitute a habit in the true sense of tlte word. Although millions of glasses of Coca Cola are drunk every year, no Coca Cola fiends havr ever made themselves visible' at the doors of the sanitariums for the treatment of drug habits. The Coca Cola habit is analo goivs to the beefsteak hain't and to the strawberry habit. People drink Coca Cola first lecause thev see it advertised and thereaf ter Ifecauxe it tastes good and re f rashes their minds and lsidies. They drink it when they can get it and contentedly do without it when they cant get it. If you had ever witnessed the raving)- of a iT'Sil drug fiend when depriv ed of his drug, if you had ever observed the agony he suffers, you would never again W so un fa r as to mention Coca Cola in the same breath with the habit foi-ining drugs. - dvt Saxon Automobile GIVEN FREE1 GIVEN FREE!
