PAILY JOURNAL ill M& VOL. LXII. No. 93 NEW BERN, N. C, WEDNESDAY MORNING JANUARY 14, 1914 FIVE CENTS PER COPY 1 IS VOTERS' CHOICE His Brilliant Record Will ever Live In Third District. For- IS GREAT STATESMAN The Democrats Want Him Again Represent Them. To Not only are the voters of New Bern and Craven county indebted to Hon. Charles R. Thomas for the excellent work he did for the district during the time that he was in congress, but in every city, town and hamlet in the Third District there are today evi dences of this same work and one can easily see why it is that the ma jority of the Democratic voters, thos" who art- not to be coerced by the poli ticians who loudly boast of having certain men within their power, are anxious for him to be returned i Con gress to again represent the District. The following extract from an edi torial in the News and Observer during the fourth term that Mr. Thomas was in Congress shows the sentiment of the people at that time: "Congressman Thomas is serving his fourth term as practically unanimous choice of the district. In the past his career has been so straightforward honorable and satisfactory the people have come to regard him as one of themselves, identified with their every interest. The convention held at Golds boro which nominated him for a fifth term, was probably the largest, the most enthusiastic, ever held in this district. "It is safe to say that his past ser vice has given to the district at least one million dollars in actual benefits and appropriations, including appro priations for rivers and harbors, life saving stations, public buildings, war claims, rural free delivery routes in proportion to the population in the district as any other Representative of North Carolina, and these routes return to the people annually in salaries to carriers from seventy-five to one hundred thousand dollars. It has been the aim of Congressman Thomas to make the district proud of its repre sentative and to hold the office free from all personal considerations for the service of the whole people. He is upon two of the most important committees in Congress Public Bidd ings, which has charge of appropriations for public buildings all over the United States, and the Committee on Library, which has charge of appropriations for battle ground monuments. "HIS INFLUENCE NOW IS HELP FUL NOT ONLY TO HIS DIS TRICT, BUT THE ENTIRE STATE. IN FACT, HE IS ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL MEMBERS IN CONGRESS FROM THE STATE AND THE SOUTH. WITH MR. SMALL UPON THE COMMITTEE OF RIVERS AND HARBORS AND MR. THOMAS UPON PUBLIC BUILDINGS, NORTH CAROLINA WOULD OBTAIN LARGE BENE- , FITS AND THE SHARE OF AP PROPRIATIONS BY THE NATION AL GOVERNMENT TO WHICH SHE IS JUSTLY ENTITLED. "Through Congressman Thomas' ef forts, as a member of the Committee on-1. Public Bnildings, aided by the Representatives from the respective districts,, the last public' building bill carried the following appropriations for North Carolina, which were in creased in the Senate: "For a public building at Washington, sixty thousand dollars; for a public building at Kins ton, thirty thousand dollars; for a site for public building for a site for a public building at i j - : - j i i t nenaersuu, sevcu uiuusanu uve nun- dred dollars; for a public building at Salisbury, sixty thousand dollars; for enlargement-A heville public t Bill ing, ; fifty thousand dollars .'increase for Winston-Salem, five thousand dol lars; "Yclock : upon : New Bern public building, five thousand dollars; aggre gating two htindred and. thirty-seven thousand ; dollars, ; which amount was increased over 'the ; House bill in the donate, sivinir North Carolina n vorv lair piupuiuuu ' .... .1 ., v v ; "Congressman .

SENATE DEBATE IS BEGUN Anti-Trust Program Expected To Claim Attention Much of Time. Washington, Jan. 13. Congress set tled down to the work of its long rcgul ir session yesterday after being in recess since the passage of the Currency Reform Bill just before Christmas. The coming adminstration anti-trust legislation program loomed up as the big business of the winter, but with the prospect of vailing until next week for the President's message bo'li bran dies devoted themselves aetivclv to other matters. On the House side of. the Capi'ol return to work was celebrated by prompt passage of the lirst of the annual supply measures, the District of Col umbia Appropriation-bill, and the in troduction of the ns'ial opening day batch of miscellaneous measures. The Senate began debate on the Alaskan Government railroad bill. The anti-trust experts of both houses start ed a period of extraordinary activity which will continue until the anti trust program is written into law before the close of the season. Actual work on the anti-trust bills in the House Judiciary Committee will be delayed pending President Wilson's address. A rough draft of the address will be brought to Washington by the President when he returns today and later in the week Chair man Clayton, of the House Judiciary Committee and Chairman New lands og the Senate Commerce Committee, probably will be called into conference with the President and Attorney General McRaynoIds. Meantime Chairman Clayton and Representatives Carlin and Floyd, of the House commitce, are reviewing the long list of anti-trust . measures already before the committee. It is not probable that any of these bills will be accepted as a part of the Ad ministration plan for industrial peace, but all of the ideas embodied in them will be considered. the ..grounds. Larger appropriations will be secured for this historic battle field. "Besides the C.oldsboro public build ing, fifty thousand dollars, the parial, list of the appropriations secured by our Congressman for his district will include river and harbor appropriations; for Beaufort harbor, forty-five thousand dollars; Neuse and' Trent rivers, sixty thousand dollars, and appropriations or surveys for all the other rivers-of his district, including New river, Ons low county; the Black river and the North East river in Duplin county. Also two life saving stations, one at Swansboro, Onslow county, and one at Beaufort, Carteret county. Also in co-operation with Mr. Small, the Marine Biological Laboratory, at Beau fort, twenty-five thousand dollars. Also a new revenue cutter on Pamlico Sound and Neuse river, at a cost of one hun dred and seventy-five thousand dol lars which our Congressman will name 'Pamlico ' in honor of Pamlico county and the Whoitt section of country which she will navigate, known as Pamlico section. Also many other minor ap propriations, such as maps of Sampson, Duplin and other counties of his dis trict and the payment of the war claim of St. John's Masonic Lodge of New Bern, which had been pending before Congress since Senator Vance's day," Such a record as this is one to be proud, of; one 6f : which the greatest statesman could turn to with pride and hold up before the eyes of the populace. This is the work of a man who is con scientious and sincere in all of ' his dealings, a man who says unto himself: "I am my brother's keeper,'' and a man who has the interest of the entire dis trict at heart, and who will see to it that the Democratic voters are dealt with in an honorable and worthy manner. Such a man is Charles Randolph Thomas.' A son, of the. Old North State afcd, next to Senator F, M. Simmons, Is one of the ' greatest 'statesmen ' in the State.' i "If he is sent back to Congress, -and there- is every reason to believe that this will be done, the Third District will get more appro priations and more good work will be done in his behalf. Andrew Carnegie was seventy-eight years old a few days ago, and his happiness is expressed in this photograph for which he posed especially for the occasion in the famous gardens at his home in New York. "Earth is such a Heaven I never want to leave it," he said, and "if you can show me anyone who will give me an option on life, he can name his price." The multi millionaire iron master is enjoying the best of health.

Earlier in the day General Bliss wired to Secratary Garrison asking per mission to transfer the federal prisoners from Presidio to Marfa, 38 miles away, over a mountainous territory. It was decided to transfer the pris oners to Fort Bliss two reasons for the change being announced. The first was that food supplies could be carried to Fort Bliss with little or no difficulty and the second that tin stronger American forces at Fort Bliss would have great influence in warding olT a possible attack by the rebels. According to the latest report from Presidio, there are now nearly 1,00(1 men, women and children, soldiers and cam) followers who are destitute and dependent upon the American troops for shelter and food Tin -arc being guarded by a strong Ion col American cavalrymen, but tin- change from Presidio, which is ini inedi.ii i U ac ross Iriim Ojinaga, in furl Mi-- ua thoughl lo lie iniper.iti e.

Babies whose parents do not think enough of them to have their births recorded will, of course, not hear from the Governor. Along with the Governor's letter the State Board of Health has asked to be allowed to send some of its best literature on the care and feeding of infants and is this way endeavoring to reduce our tremendous infant mor tality. The Governor fully appreciates the great privilege the State affords its citizens in making complete official records of their births and deaths. There is a provision in the new law whereby births and deaths that occurred before the law became effec tive last fall may be registered, and it is interesting to note that our own Governor was the first citizen of the State to avail himself of this privilege and to file his birth certificate. Since that date many other births have been similarly recorded. ' WILL REORCfllillZ HIS DEPARTMENT
