LOWER RATES TO TIE BEACH.

If the Suburban railroad officials
want to win the everlasting goodwill
and gratitude OF the people of Viii
mington, especially those whose means
are not in proportion to the size OF
their families, let them put the fare
for the round trip to Wrightsville
and back to twenty or twenty-five
instead of thirty-tive cents as at pres
emf. 1t would be q perfect god-send
to hundreds of our people were this
cheap rate put Oh, wen if only for
certain days during this heated time,
OF only for certain days Of each
week throughout the hottest part of
the summer. We admit that the troll
Icy line officials know more about their
own business than we do and are bet
ter qualified to run The affairs of the
company than we are, at the same
time we believe the assertion that
during such wcathe" as We have had
of late The read would. with the roun1
trip ticket Sc ing ut twenty or twenty
five cents. have twice as many pas
sengers as it 10Y has at thirty-five
cents. We believe the company would
find that it makes more money at the
reduced rate. The present fare keeps
a good many people away from the
beach. While one or perhaps two
members of a family can go down to
the sound once in a while at the pres
n rate of fare, it bars a great many
family parties. We do not suppose
there is another trolley or steam line
of the same length in the United
States leading to a pleasure resort
which charges such high rates. We
understand thoroughly we'll that in
larger cities, where the travel is much
heavier the companies can afford to
charge lower rates, but We are sure
that a reduction of the fare on u
suburban road would so greatly in
crease the business of the company as
to make it more profitable to the own
ers.

blessing to the poorer people of the
town. There is many a m and
child who would spend a day on
the seaShore now and then who cam
not go now. At the reduced rates
mentioned whole families would go to
the beach where now tickets can be
bought for only one or two.
We suppose our friends of the sub
urban company think we are meddling
with something which does not con-
Germ Us and about which we know
nothing, but we do know that what we
have said in the above will have the
endorsement of ninety-nine out of ev-|
cry hundred people in the city. And
we believe the company could give
the people the lower rates without any
~pecuniary loss.

GAVE A MILLION
An Old Man Died Who Gave a Barber
a Million Dollars Because the Bar
Der Did Not Try to Convince Him
That He Needed All of 1t.

An old man died the other day and
in his will he b%equeathed one million
dollars to a barber. When the deceas-
ed was forty years old he made a will
n in it was a request that one mil
lion dollars be paid to -, a bar
ber." Then the old man went to tray
cling. He desired to find a barber who
would not ask him, when he got in the
chair and said he wanted a shave, if
he did not want a haircut, a shampoo,
some hair tonic, his whiskers dyed, his
moustache waxed, his hair singed" ano
a dozen other questions. He had beer
annoyed by this kind of talk in his
early life, SO he firmly resolved il he
could find the barber who would suit
him, he would fill in the blank space in
the will and go him a million.
So he travelled and travelled and trav-
eled. He would get shaved every day
and sometimes twice a day-and for
thirty years he Eept up his clog dance
trying to find the ideal man. Finally,
when he was seventy years old he step
ped into barber shop, got in the clair
and told the barber that he wanted a
shave The barber said Eyes, SIR" and
proceeded to lather him and cut off the
whiskers. The barber talked about the
weather; talked about several things;
but never a word as to what the man
needed. He might have been in need
Of a hair cut, but not a suggestion
came from the knight of the brush;
he might sadly have needed tonic, a
shampoo, a hair SINCE, a sea foam
but the barber got through, combed the
hair, brushed the old gentlman's
clothes, thanked MIN for the coin drop
ped into his hand, and politely asked
him to call again. The old man has
tened to a lawyer; ascertained the bar
ber's name and had it inserted in the
blank space and died ten days after
wards-a smile remaining on his face
in death. The barber got the million
dollars-but we dare say that If anoth-
er philantnropist of that kind were 10
encircle the earth and get shaved eve
ry fifteen minutes he wouldn't find an
other barber who would not insist that
he wanted more than he asked for and
ordered.

The war cloud over the Moroccan
question continues to grow. There
was much uneasiness on the European
stock exchanges yesterday. British
consols and French rentes dropped q
good many points. We do not suppose,
though, that France and Germany viii.
go to val over this matter. The
former would like to have an oppor-
tunity to win back Alsace-Lorraine,
but, wen if she could win out in this
fight the cost in men and money would
be too great for the matter at stake.
Even if these two powers were willing
to go to war over the Moroccan cues
ton the balance Of the powers of the
world would strongly oppose their do
ing so. War between nations these
days is a serious matter with all other
countries. With the commercial inter-
purse between countries wal be-
ome a serious matter to parties not
directl yinvOlved. A war between
France and Germany would throw the
commerce of the world out of gear
an dthe people of this country and Of
til enations of Europe would be great
losers. Some classes of manufacturers
would make money out of this or any
other war, but the nations generally
would lose heavily.

In dealing with this recrudescsnce

The people of The United States co

Neither does the government of China
desire that anything of the sort shall
be inflicted upon US. But it is evident
that We have given China just cause
for offense by reason of the unjust,
brutal, and harsh manner in when We
have enforced our exclusion law. In
this enforcement we have far exceeded
the laws intent. We have gone be-
yond legal and just enforcement, even
to the point of maladministration of
the law. We have treated all Chinese
as if they were interlopers and cr1mi-
nails, with no right whatever to visit
or remain IN this country, unless they
were here prOr to the enactment of che
exclusion law.

goods, when we have heaped so many
indignities upon those of their citizens

Chinese to maintain international trade
relations with us if We treat them with

courtesy?
Manifestly, there can be but N
just answer to inese pertinent cues
tions. A halt must be called in the NAL
administration of the law, by which
Chinese entitled TO admission to this
country are subjected to insult and hu-
initiation upon false assumption that
they are interlopers. AS a matter OF
fact, we owe apologies to China for the
ill treatment which we have imposed
upon her citizens in the past, and we
ought to be courageous enough to make
such apology.-Los Angeles Times.
