FIGHT ON SHIP
LINE STARTED
Port Commission Bill Formerly
Comes Up Before Senate.
? * ? X. *?; >\ ? ? ? .fef-*
Raleigh, Aug. 14?The Fort.Com
. mission bill, the bag measure for
the North CiroHna General Assembly
was called, was taken up in the Sen
ate today. Lobbies and galleries were
crowded to capacity when the hour
for starting the debate which is ex
pected to last for two or three days,
approached.
It was expected that proponents
of the bill, without a referendum
clause, would take a full day to pre
sent their argument. The opposition
is expected to take at least a day.
Senator Johnson, of Duplin coun
ty, offered an amendment to strike
out of the Port Commission bill all
clauses relating to the purchase of
ships and to make the bond issue for
17,000,000 instead of $8,500,000.
Senator Johnson, of Beaufort coun
ty, offered "hn amendment requiring
the building of terminals at Wilming
ton, Morehead City, New Bern, Wash
ington, Eden ton, Belhaven, Elizabeth
City and Swan Quarter.
It had been expected that Senator
Harris, of Wake county,'would open
the discussion on the measure Lieu
tenant Governor Cooper recognized
Senator Johnson, of Beaufort county,
who began the discussion of his
amendment. After a short discussion
of the Johnson amendment ^Senator
Stubbs informed the chair that it had
been agreed to discuss the committee
amendment first He was backed up
in his statement by Senator Giles,
opponent of the bill, and Senator Har
ris, of Wake county, opened the dis
cussion.
' Senator Harris stated in opening his
argument that if the Harris-Bellamy
Brown 'amendment was defeated he
would work as. hard as he cov?d to
carry the measure in the election. He
declared that Governor Morrison had
urged a referendum because he fear
ed that a direct action bill would not
pass.:tMj?" ~-7 '' ' ?

WOMAN PRESIDENT? NOT TET. j
WORLD GETTING SMALLER.
THREE AGES OF BARBARISM.
! STONE. BRONZE, BON. . '
This is the political stage of '
"rosy reports." They pour in on
La Follette,Davis and Coolidge.
I *, Coolidge is told that Ohio, Iowa
and Kansas are already his.
Davis is told that with the South
and New York,- Massachusetts, Il
linois, etc., he is ELECTED NOW.
La Foilette's followers say they,;
have "twenty-five States sure.
| The "rosy" days are pleasant, only
some one is sure to be disappointed.
The Government has ordered a
group of flying machines that can
travel through the air, on the
water and on land. Only one step
remains, the amphibian and sub
' mersible flying machine pulling in
its wings and becoming a sub
marine. That will come also.
John . R. Yoorfais, oldest office*
j holder, aged ninety-five, predicts a
woman President. She will come,
j but not in fifty years. Many
women in the United States would
make Presidents better than any,
with two exceptions, since Thomas
Jefferson. But man, proud man,
dressed in a little brief authority,
will take a long time to get over
his SUPERIORITY COMPLEX.
Men of low intelligence sincerely
believe that they are in some mys
i terious way woman's superior, and ?.
such men decide Presidential elec- t
tions.
If a woman becomes President
before 1980, it will be through pro
motion of a Vice-President. That
might happen within a generation.
The world really is becoming a
! small place. American fliers,
coming home by the shortest
route, put on Arctic clothing as
they left England.
T<i air hop was from England
to, Greenland, and then they will
be getting Summer things ready
for Ihcir joyous, triumphant land
it;'.' ht warm America. "Around
V";.-.' >- * , . I.; -
the world in eighty days* wag a '; '#
fairy story. Around the world in
six days or leu will be REALITY, %
before 2000 A. D.
The scientific world notes the
discovery in France of a new
anaesthetic called "sommiiaire."
With no bad after effects this
anaesthetic makes possible the
longest operations, it is injected
into the Blood, causes the patient
to remain half conscious for thirty
hours, which is excellent for
major operations.
It is hard to believe as yon read
of scientific methods for avoiding
pain that when anaesthetics were
first used they were savagely de
nounced as works of the devil.
Earnest preachers declared that
God WANTED us to suffer and it
was a sin to thwart His divine will.

' Joseph Greenberg, of New York,
will return to his home with new
knowledge of this country and
greater respect for the rate of
Texas. He left Brooklyn inga
little automobile to bring his son
hack from "somewhere in Texas,"
and told his wife he would be gone -
"about three days." He win be
surprised to find it will take him
about as long to area Texas as to
crou all the rest of the Anwricen ?
continent. When you've entered
Texas on one side and come out
on the other, you have covered
almost half the distance from
ocean to ocean.
When historians write of the
three great periods of barbarous
development, the stone age, bronze
age and iron age, they wul say:
"The full industrial development
of the iron age, reached at about
thev year 2,000 of the: period hu
morously called''the Christian
Era,' may perhans be called the
"Men fad developed faint ideas
of right and wrong. But while ,
they had begun to leave their
great fortunes to education and
science instead of seeking to bribe
their defty and buy etsfnal bliss
for their own worthless souls,
they retained the worst features ,
of earlier barbarism. The dis
coveries of science in chemistry j
and physics were used for war !
murder on a gigantic scale. ' !
"The dregs of the race commit- :
ted murder with their own hands.
The eo-called. upper classes Usui
in shameful luxury, utterly indif
ferent to poverty, disease and ig^
norance around them. They even
herded young children of the poor
into factories and mills, grinding
them into profits for their own
use.
"On the whole, that culminating ^
period of the iron age was inferior
in dignity and decency to the stone
age." ^
