Klk,New York, Norfolk and perhaps some i Other Atlantic Coast cities are asking to be made free ports in view of the fact of the impending tariff changes. A free port as explained by the Nor- folk Ledger-Dispatch is a locality into which raw materials may be shipped i duty free, manufactured and shipped out to foreign countries. That looks like a proposition that is susceptible of being very conveniently used to .further the purposes of crooks. For it is hardly to be doubted that much of the products thus manufactured would be smuggled out into the United States. And it also seems calculated to give the cities selected for such ports an overwhelming advantage over the other pets. LOBBYING. President Wilson's recent onslaught ' on the lobbyists who are infesting "Washington in such large numbers ' has of course called for much comment. Dae newspaper says that it will do no good to rail at the lobbyists that there have always been lobbyists, always jvill , be lobbyists and that they serve a useful purpose. If the lobbyists would 1 open and above board in their op erations, their presence in Washington would not be so undesirable. But it is ' charged and is no doubt true that they seek to influence legislation privately and in all sorts of unworthy ways. The law strictly forbids under a severe penalty tampering with a jury. With cual appropriateness it could forbid tampering with a law-maker. THE NEWS AND OBSERVER AND THE NAVY SECRETARY. The Rocky Mount Transcript faults "Washington Correspondent Yelverton of the News and Observer for sending so much news about Josephus Daniels, i Editor Britton of the Raleigh paper defends the course of his paper in pro curing a liberal quantity of news about the Secretary by saying that no matter if Mr. Daniels is the principal owner of the News and Observer North Caro lina folks arc deeply interested in him and the management of the paper holds 'it to be merely the exercise of good .. newspaper sense to print a good deal of matter concerning him. The N. & O. is not giving too much ;f Daniels, not at all. The Saturday t Evening Post of this, week explains how ' it is that Secretary of the Treasury W. . ' G. McAdoo is in the public prints so 1 -'much. It is because McAdoo is doing 1 ' .things, says the Post. That's the way , it is with Josephus. While no slouch in the matter of being ornamental, hi long suit is in being useful. He is r keeping the wheels of his department turning and that means that the News and Observer as a faithful chronicler of events at Washington is under com ; . .pulsion to make frequent menon of .Jura. ' WITH" f'w'ft OUT BOYS. S It shows up bad for the boys of New ' " i Bern that they are not represented in. -'',! fWttie graduating class of the New Bern V - Graded School. We suppose the trou '' ble is that the boys are anxieus to get : 'f to making money and cannot wait to pass through all the grades of the t ; ' schools. A , This means for one thing that New Bern can be rearing only a few boys for the learned professions, which is a little V alagutar, seeing that this city has fur " dished the Stats with some of the ablest . I professional men, especially lawyers and doctors. It would seem that the exceptional success won by New Bern's '.V professional men should have the effect ; 'i of causing a larger number of the young , :'er generation than Is the cats to seek . 'professional careers. ', ' :. ',', '; : ',i But even if a boy is not going to be Va professional man, It is poor policy .' to rush into the business world without a good education unless necessity com . pel such a course. Many a successful - foulness man does not get the fullest freia Roy zIGrspo satisfaction out of his success owing to the fact that he habitually realizes the lack of the culture which comes with a well-rounded education. Not only so; but business success brings with it a certain responsibility to the public, in other words makes the business man somewhat of a public man whether that is his wish or not. For his duties in this connection he is necessarily more or less handicapped unless he has had the benefit of thorough school and collegiate training. Making money is of course a very important thing, but achieving a car eer of honor, service and distinction is a more important thing. And even for the making of money it by no means follows that those who are in a big hurry to get at it are the ones to get the most of it. Thorough preparation is advis able even if the accumulation of a for tune is regarded as the crowning achieve ment of life. Let it be hoped that another year will find more boys in the graduating class of the Graded School.

CAUGHT WITH THE GOODS, AND YET HE'S CHEERFUL The New Bern Journal denies us the privilege of indulging in any kind of lamentation because Wilmington is outside the baseball pale and has to view its ball by wire from a distance. Referring to a somewhat lugubrious and more or less reproachful para graph in The Star a few days ago, thei cruel Journal says: "The Wilmington Star says that it is pathetic to see baseball fans try ing to be enthusiastic in a ball-less town. The Star should not be shed ding any crocodile tears for when there was a chance for Wilmington to be instrumental in the forming of a league and thus guarantee unto it self something that the fans could really get enthusiastic about, The Star didn't agitate worth a cent. No need to pity the fans now. Action when action was needed was The Star's utterly overlooked cue." Oh! you sideswiperl The arrow of conviction has hit a shining mark. We acknowledge the corn. ' We have been caught with the goods, but there is one thing we are proud of. It is one of our virtues to exhibit perfect frankness and be a shining example of the truth. We might evade, equivo cate, and prevaricate to get out of a hole, but it ain't in us. When we are cornered and backed right up against it, we never resort to Anha nias' tricks to sneak out of it. How noble it is when you are crack ed on the coco to be able to put up your paws and surrender like an um pire who knows his business! This should teach all editors that it is the most absurd thing in the world to try to wriggle out of a situation from which there is no escape by the aero plane of truth. . Rather then be hem med in some editors will dodge, side. step and straddle just like any ordi nary politician. We are glad to point to this to show how an editor should conduct himself when he is faced by the ; inevitable. There are three things that an editor should have truthfulness, honesty and a large bank account : An editor with . cunning,,, malice, prejudice, re- sentfulness and only 30 cents, ought to get right off the tripod, else forever hold his peace father than rely .n t . ....... , . . . iift laiscnooa to save ji is jace. v liming " St";.
