This is a. considerable subject. It divides itself into many chapters and spread Hi elf over , a large ex panse! of the earth's waters and embraces snrh a variety and magni tude of activities as the American Navy never before experienced. Hut 12 onl one of many arhlevecninta is to be selected for special comment we would choose that of bringing homo across the Atlantic within lees than thirteen months from the sign ing of the armistice a round 2,000, t.'OO American soldiers, with equip ment, nearly all la United States transports manned by the navy, wilh shedtiled regularity r.nd "with out the loss of a single life from the hazards of the sea!" No parallel la this performance can be found ex cept in transporting the same vat army to Europe under the additional and great hazards of submarine war fare""without the loss of a man aboard a United States transport.' Even when immigration from Eu rope wa3 highest before the war, nothing like such a number of per. sens crossed the Atlantic, within less than thirteen months; and how many were the years that when Borne large disaster did not stain the safety record In transatlantic travel? It is an amazing thing which Sec retary Daniels thus record3 among many remarkable accomnltshments But by Itself alone it can stand In testimony for all future time to the efficiency and mastering capacity of the American Navy in meeting any dmand3, however Impossible they ap pear to be, which may be imposed upon it. As the immediate directing power in this wonder story of achievement in the war, Mr. Daniels can not feel any greater pride than is rightfully his. New York World. Boys, here is your chance to make this "wonderful trip leaving San ' Francisco the first part of the year, making the following, coun tries: Honolulu, Hawaii, China and the Philippines, all South Sea Is lands, Central and South America, go through Panama Canal. Now is your chance, boys; do not miss this; you can learn a trade while you travel to many countries; also be sent to California. Come to the Danville recruiting office in the post oflce on Main street for informa tion. Do not talk to any of these men who were in the war; come and talk to a man with 14 years In service who knows what the navy Is in peace time. The war i3 over, to pleasure starts and you might B8 well help us to enjoy this pleas ure. II. DeGrey. RESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITIES. Several spasmodic attempts to arouse the interest of the American people 1 in the Presidential cam paign, . which, takes1 place next year, have Jailed; but occasionally one comes across a newspaper boosting nome candidate a3 if the campaign bad reached its 7,enith. Particularly among these publications Is The Springfield Republican,- which has 'been devoting much fpace to dis cussing of probable .candidates, both Democratic and .Republican. From the tenor of the articles in this paper wo gather that Governor Cool ridge, of Massachusetts, who was re elected to the . office he now holds by such an overwhelming majority on a "law and order" platform, is considered at this time the Republi can's best bet. From this same source we also learn that General Pershing is not contemplating ma king the race, and it he did, that he would bo handicapped by ut least two million adverse soldiers vote. In the Democratic ranks, William C. McAdoo Is certain to be a formi dable opponent, and it is believed the party machinery will work for his nomination. President Wilson, it is thought, will not attempt a third race, and he will probably use his influence to secure the nomlna tion of hi3 son-in-law. There i., an Insistent demand among the most progressive-element of the party for a uusinss' candidate, and in this connection, Herbert Hoover, Federal food administrator, is the mnt pop ular man mentioneed, and there 13 a good chance of him becoming the Democratic standard bearer if he wants the honor. However, the gen eral sentiment of Democrats is to back -the-choice of President Wilson. Exchange. known whether it is a Just or an un just law. .. '.- The present law wu worked out by men of all political creeds and was the result of long and continued effort on the part of the very best men in both political parties to put North Carolina on som- t-r.rt of fair and equal basis of valuation and was not intended to be a burden up on farmers nor upon any one cla33 of our people but the real purpose is to try to equalize the b irden of taxa tion so that all property and all citi zens will be treated fair and Just In the matter of taxation. We respect fu1' state that it Is not"yet time to - ondemn the law that has not yet been put In force and therefore,' ha. not been tried. The Gren3boro News. Hasty in Condemning the New Law. Once upon a time it was said that an American went to France and up on arrival there the first two or three women that he saw were red headed, whereupon he sat down and wrote his friends back home 3aylng that all the French women were red headed. This we say was a hasty conclusion, and surely it was. Our farmer friends who are de manding a repeal of the new valua tion law hove not even seen two or three real defects but if they have seen 3ome, it is not fair to ocme to a hasty conclusion and say the whole thing is bad and ought to be repeal ed. In fact the law has not been put into operation yet, and how can it be ORE THROAT ,7 iV or Tonsilitis, gargle with warm salt water, then apply ICICSVAPOE i YOUR BODYGUARD" PRICE.

Ban On Fertilizer. MaJ.W. A. Graham, commissioner of agriculture, has received a copy of an order issued by Milton Whit ley, chief of the bureau of soils, U. S. department of agriculture, in which a ban is placed on the sale of fertilizer containing more than ore tenth of one per cent of borax. This was made necessary because last year many crops were destroyed bv the presence of too much borax.

THE PRESS AND THE COMMUN- ITY. - 1 Linked constantly together by in. numerable common ties, the newspa per and the community , hnye be come closely identified. Tho proas is tho exponent of the peopld. It is the'r medium of receiving and di seminating enlightenment. Remove the newspapers from the comniuni tv; put off all press communication with the outside world, and see what happens. Business telegrams would bo exchanged; personal messiag03 would be conveyed over the .wires hut no one save the recipients would know what occurred beyond the imaginary walls of separation. ue would live only to ourselves lit tie, selfish livc3. Civilization in its intrinsic sense would cease to exist. The church, the schools and colleges all educational institutions depend on the press. : one feels more closely the needs, the joys and the sorrows of the people than those in and about a newspaper shop. Their duties are manifold. They must show interest in the farmers' crop, tfte jvrrant ' business,' manufacturing, marriages, city planning, better babies, divorc es, courts, health, sickness, births and deaths. Although the average newsnaper reporter has to have working knowledge Of almost eve profession; in spite of the fact that he must know medical and legal ternu, thj hirtory of religious de nomination, the latest price of to uacco, anu tne amoitions of every manufacturer, this is only a part of his duty. It is the most fascinating feature of his work. The tak that removes hair from his head or turns it prematurely gray is the duty of at tempting t& do- the right thing at all times. In printing the. average newspaper, the editor Is faced more with the task of omitting undesirable infor mation than printing that which Is considered legitimate news. He has at least one hundred suggestions a day giving him postgraduate infor niation on how to run a paper. Most of these are appreciated, but many .of them favor a special class. A news paper is printed for the community, however, and it feels that its duty Is to look after the greatest number of people. At the same time, it must work no great injustice on a helpless minority. Until one faces these problems day after day, year after year, he has no idea what it means to please the public. The average dally newspaper print3 about 70,000 words of straight news each day, ex cluding the advertising. When one realizes the enormous task of writ ing, editing, and assimilating ' this world of words and converting them into print, an insight is gained into the rapidly with which the newspa per family must make its decisions. Editorial writers are frequently accused by politicians of stamping their personal ideas on the : public mind. This 13 a practice no sensible editor would follow. It Is true that public opinion Is moulded by the press; it is the open forum of the masses, but the majority of editors merely attempt to voice the views of the people. The newspaperman who ha.3 no confidence in the masses is doomed to failure, lie realizes even more than the minister or shrewdest politician that a move without pub lic support is worse than Useless, When a seemlnglv good bill fails in Congress he usually understands just why the measure did not be come law. His task is to become ac quainted with the bill during Its em bryo state, and he knows whether or not it is meant to benefit the great est number of people. But on no oc casion does he dictate to the people; j he couldn't If he wijhed. The most he can hope to accomplish Is to awa ken public thought. The editor's ambition is best illus trated by Ruskin in one sentence of a letter to Mrs. Carly'e: "I have a great hope of disturbing the public peace in various direc tions,"' ; Thl3 accomplished, he has set thousands of m'nds to thinking. The public has acted and the public opinion is the view of the majority.; In this chat with its readers, the Journal hopes to make clear its aims. There are times, of "nurse, when we make mistakes. But if any one is unduly affected by the editor ial or report orial columns, let him ask himself this question: "Are the greatest number of people benefited by this move " We realize that we are a vital part of the community. We cm grow 1.0 greater than the community. Our Interests are mu tual. We attempt to give the people the untainted news and let them form their own opinior wher is sues are mvoiveu. uur personal views will be expressed only in the editorial columns.
