The News and Observer, of Raleigh,
in d spasm of honest truth, saw fit to
attack the miserable method of the Raj
eigh Electric Street railway. This sud-
den departure from the ordinary-this
approach at the extraordinary filled the
great fear.
The News and Observer had said it.
and the question came back, who did
write the truth?
All of a sudden this idea seized the
office cub, and to escape the impending
threat which was soon to follow the
truth sc long impending this item which
is an idea as we'll had full sway:
An impression seems to exist in the
minds of some people that the article in
Sundays issue of The News and Obser-
yer concerning the Electric Street rail-
way, was written by a correspondent.
The city editor of The News and Obser-
ton.
And hat left the business, like the
mule, without parentage Or hope of pos
terity.
If the paper had fathered its own off
spring all would have been we'll and
some good would have been accom-
plished.
But as COLONEL ANDREWS gets a sal
AIRY, as he is not, in fact, a resident of
Raleigh
Well, the attack shows that it was
without weight.
Why,
For heavens sake, when the News and
Observer really excites public attention,
does it not father it's own boom?

As 1T Il GOES.

Some time ago THE GLOBE brought a
suit against the Western Union Telegraph
company, and its claim was that a mes
sage should not be delayed.
The lawyers for the company held that
because the message was u~nrepeated that
it made much difference. We claimed
that it made no difference.
The following decision in the Nebraska
Supreme court, a tribunal which has
more ability than the Raleigh symposium,
says this is a case exactly like that of The
GLOBE, SO far as legal points were con-
cerned:
The provision on a telegram blank that
errors can be guarded against only by
repeating the message back to the sending
station for comparison, and the company
will not hold itself liable for errors or de-
Law in transmission or delivery of unre-
peated messages beyond b amount of
tolls paid thereon, not in any case when
the claim is not presented in writing
within sixty days after sending the mes
sage" is not a bar to an action for DAM
ages resulting from delay in delivering
an u~nrepeated message, as the action is
not founded on any error which repeat
ing could have cured, and the liability of
the company is the same for the prompt
delivery of unrepeated and repeated mes
sages.
But this was over ruled by SQUIRE
Angler.
And thus has Justice, wall-eyed and
bare-footed, been indicated.

WILL THERE BE WAR.

1t is a small sign of the times says the
New York Herald that Russia has $780,
600 men ON the Polish frontier. Such
concentration of force may mean cheap
winter quarters. But it is a very large
sign of the times that a quarter of Rus
sia's population are in a state of anarchy
and desperation through hunger. Moth
ing to eat leads to grave complications.
1t is the incentive if not the impulse to a
battle, and it has before time happened
that Russia diverted the attention of her
restless people by a wal which reused
their patriotic pride.
Her huge army has made other huge
armies necessary. Austria is on the keen
watch and no movement of the enemy is
neglected. If Russia strikes, Austria and
Germany must be prepared to return the
blow. That requires an increased en-
rollment. Europe is, therefore, at this
moment an enormous camp. The flower
oil her people, her stalwart young men,
are not to be found at tradesmen's
benches, but in the barracks. For their
support, countless treasure is exhausted
and taxes are levied to the last point of

1t is becoming a popular fad, in North
Carolina, to sue the press for Liz 81.
Doubtless the press is guilty of telling
more lies than any other power in the
state. That is easy TO explain-news
sometimes comes from a lying source.
While the press publishes more lies it
also publishes more truths and facts than
any power in the state.
The Marion Free Lance has been sued
for libel, by the daddy of a town police
man, who was drunk and rowdy, but not
guilty of shooting, as the paper was in
formed.
The Free Lance, in referring to the
matter, says in conclusion:
when any n attempts to muzzle the
utterances of the press then they under
take do a thing every good citizen de-
What would the press of this
state be if it were afraid to publish any
thing unless it had sworn affidavits as to
the facts. A muzzled press would be a
disgrace to even Africa. Attempts to
bulldoze or muzzle the Free Lance will
always fail"

The "PER CAPITA" DELUsIoN.

An editorial in the Christmas Century
says: The per capita argument has al
ways been a favorite method for sustain
ing a demand for cheap money. Such
demands invariably arise when times are
hard, that is, when money is scarce The
cheap-money advocates, acting on the
knowledge that a great many people are
wishing that they had more money in
their pockets, come forward with the
explanation that the real cause of the
trouble is the smallness of the monetary
circulation, the volume of currency not
being adequate for the demands of the
business of the country. They point to
other countries, like England, Germany,
and France, saying that they have a
much larger per capita circulation than
the United States, and claim that every
body in this country would have more
money in his pocket if a great addition
of some form of cheap ~money-either
irredeemable paper, OF deprecated silver,
or sub.treasury notes-were made to the
currency.
The fundamental defect in the argu-
ment is that it confounds small ~circula-
ton with small distribution. The trouble
is not that the circulation is small, but
that so many people fail to get much of
it. If the circulation were to be doubled,
or trebled, or quadrupled, what reason
is there for believing that the people who
have least at present would have any
more? How would they go to work to
get some of the increase into their peck
cts? This, as we said many months ago
in one of our earlier articles in this cheap
money series, is the crucial, question in
all schemes for making money cheap and
plentiful. How can a man who wants
some of it obtain it except he give labor
or goods in return for it? If he have
labor or goods to sell, does it make any
difference to him whether the volume of
currency be large or small? Is it not
always large enough to furnish payment
for what he has to sell? And if he has
anything to sell, would not he rather re-
ceive his payment in dear money than in
cheap money? Was there ever a man
yet who did not desire to he paid for his
wares in the soundest and best money
o~btainable? Who are the men who hope,
in some mysterious manner, to get money
into their pockets through a great issue
Of cheap money by the government?
Are they not, almost invariably, men
who nave nothing to sell in exchange
