DURHAM, S. C. MARCH 2. 1A19
TWO BIG MEN.
Tuesday night's speaking in New
York city will be one 'of the most
notable events of its kind ever held
in this country. From the same plat
form and to the same audience, Presi
dent Wilson and ex-President Taft
will speak upon the same subject-
the (league of nations, and the remark
able part about it is that both hold
the same views on the question. This
should give the people something to
think about. The nation's two great
est men, each the ablest man in his
party, though there are many who
will deny this, are fighting for the
same purpose some method to pro
tect the world against war.
WAR VERSUS WAR.
It Is argued that the league ol na
. tions plan will cause war, and it is al
most certain that without a league
there will be wars, so there you are,
with this difference: It is practically
unanimously agreed that without
some sort of a league there will be
wars, while there is an , argument
'about whether the league will produce
them, leaving the league holding a
little more prospect for peace than
n league. One of the main objects
sought by the allies and America in
the last war was to prevent a recur
rence of its horrors if such a thing
be possible, and if some move is not
made looking toward securing perman
ent peace the peoples of all the world
are going to want to know wby it was
not done. . If there is a better way
than the league of nations, by all
means adopt it, and if there is no bet
ter way, then adopt the league. The
opposition to the plan as proposed at
the peace conference, so far as has
been noticed, has not put forward a
better program. Their attacks have
been merely destructive without con
structive suggestion. The unrest that
1h tossing the world around on a bed
of nightmare will not be dissipated
until there is some assurance of early
improved conditions. The people are
not going to live under a constant
threat of another bloody struggle, and
they will take things in their own
hands if the leaders themselves do
not afford a remedy.
There is a sneaking feeling that a
revaluation of property will equalize
and reduce tax burdens.
Among the things for oilier., to
worry about is the advance in ihfc
price of beer in New York.
Many people want government con
trol of public highways, but don't.
want the government to keep tha
railroads.' Funny, ain't it!
Secretary Itedfield is either a poor
real estate dealer or one of the sharp
est, according to the committee re
port.
France may not want German terrl
tory, but she does want assurance
that Germany will never be able to
get any of France's.
Now that the legislature has spent
all the money it finds necessary it Is
faced with the problem of providing
funds to meet the appropriations.
RAILROAD PROBLEM.
The railroads are not to be released
for some time yet, according to an
nouncement by Director Generai
Hines, with the approval of President
Wilson. No intimation is given as to
when the return will be made, buc the
indications are that it will not tie
for a year or two, and maybe not for
five year's." This decision will hardly
meet the- approval of the country,
which has formed the conclusion thsit
the best interests of business de
mands the early return of the rail
roads to their private owners.
Some times it is wondered if it
Vould be wise to make an immediate
return, in spite of the insistent de
mand of the business interests. Wouid
business be benefitted? No national
Issue has produced more conflicting
Ylews than the problem of what to
do with the railroads. The private
owners want them back, realizing that
nnder the present freight and pas
senger rates and with the govern
ment's financing program there
would be more revenues than before
the roads were taken over by the
government. The railroad administra
tion says the change should not be
made now, as the conditions are such
that an injury would result by too
quick a release of the rail properties.
' The employes of the roads are almost
.unanimous for maintaining federal
control, business looking only at
peace time conditions with low rates'
ana outer ravors obtainable under
private control, wants to get back the
same conditions, and congress doesn't
know what to do. From the view
point of the parties to the contro
rersy each side has meritorious
claims. What the country needs and
features of all of the contentions, and
tor the best interests of the mnat
people, but congress frankly admits
that it is not equal to the task of ar
riving at tne proper solution. While
tha retention of federal control may
be objectionable at this time, there
la no assurance that a change back
to the old system would help, be
cause conditions as they existed be
fore the war will never return. Should
the roads be given back nnder the
chanced status it is probable that
there would be no better service and
no redaction either in wages or rates. '
With the government's financing pro'!
gram, there Is reason to believe that
The legislative committee in pas
sing upon the question of dividing
Robeson county, evidently remember
ed the old cry of "Hold Robeson and
pave the state!"
The national suffragist party at last
appears to have seen some of the er
rors of its way, and it is announced
that a modified suffrage amendment
will be presented to congress. If they
had done this some time ago they
would have been much further along
the road to their ultimate goal than
they are today,
The south seems to be an undesir
able; number on the program of north
ern and western politicians. They
yelled about the influence southern
men had in the Democratic adminis
tration, and now they are alarmed
over the alleged efforts of Chairman
Hi-ys, of the Republican national
committee, to get control of southern
Republicans. They seem only to
want us to vote what they consider
right, and let them run things.
