SORT OF sEMI-OFFICIAL
German Editors Article That May Ex
plain the Emperors' Meeting.


st. Petersburg, July 26.-The st. Pc
tersburg Zeitung, a German journal
which has very close relations with
the German embassy, lays significant
emphasis on the relation Of the confer
ence between Emperor Nicholas and
Emperor William to the Internal af-
fairs of Russia. 1t declares that Fran
co-German relations, or any questions
of great world politics, could hardly
have been the immediate occasion OF
the meeting, but that on the other
hand the internal situation in Russia
is the most burning question now be-
fore the emperor, and that his majesty
may well have welcomed the oppor-
tunity to lay the problem before "his
brotherly FRIEND whose verdict would
have the greatest weight.
The interview, the paper declares,
must certainly have had bearing on
the peace negotiations, adding: III
cannot be a matter of Indifference
whether a belligerent in Russia's stu
alton can on commencing pour parlers
boast such warm and mighty friend
ship or not"

OPINION OF DALRYMPLE
Scotch Municipal Ownership Expert Says
Uncle Sam Must Get Rid of

Chicago, July 26.-"There can be no
great reform in the affairs of the Amer
lean municipalities until the political
boss and the labor union cease to be

This is the keynote of James DIAL
rymple's famous letter in which he re-
ported to Mayor Dunno his suggestions
on the question of rnunicipalization of
Chicago's street railways. The much
discussed epistle of the Scotch traction
expert to the mayor Of Chicago has
never been made public.
The foregoing is obtained from some
who have been favored with a view Of
the document. The distinguished trac-
ton expert holds there is no place in

to the land unless he is suppressed.

Spirit of the Press
Eyes That See Not.
Columbia State.

Dltlle.
Sometimes we are almost tempted
to believe that the most pressing edu-
csational demand in this country is
the organization among Northern
newspaper writer's of classes III which
would be taught the names and loca-
tons of their various Southern eX-
changes. The finest present instance,
in point of this prevailing failure IN
the North, is furnished by the New
York Sun of the 18th instant. In the
course of a brief commentary upon
Jefferson in the South The Sun has
this sentence: "The Hon. Josephus
Daniels of the Charlotte News-ObServ-
er went to Esopus last summer, ETC.
What delightful confusion worse con-
founded 1t is very doubtful il The
Sun, even if it tried, could crowd
more errors into that one brief state
ment The Hon. JosephuS Daniels is
not of Charlotte; nor is he OF The
News Observer; nor is there any such
paper as The News-Observer in CHAR
lotte. The Hon. Josephus Daniels is
very much in Raleigh, however; he Is
also strongly of The News and ObServ-
err with the and" mark you) which
is published in that city. The Sun
merely got its cards mixed up in the
shuttle. The presence in Raleigh or
q paper with the cognomen of The
News and Observer while in the neigh
boring North Carolina city of Char
lotte there was another paper with the
title of The Observer, simply, was too
much for The Suns limited acquaint-
ance with it's North Carolina eX-
changes. The best it could do was to
stick a portion of the Variegated as
sortment together, with result which
read Charlotte NeWS-ObSerVer.' The
Sun is, however correct in at least
enc thing: The Hon. JoSephuS Daniels
did go to EsopuS last summer. To
that extent it is to be congratulated.
But The Sun is not alone. Many Of
its Northern contemporaries are in the
same boat If one of them chances
to make use of the name of South
ern newspaper it is almost invnriable
that a mistake is made in either the
name of the paper or in the place of
it's publication.
Of course the whole matter hanks
back to the question of sloVenly read
ing, q habit which is, of course, not
peculiar to the Northern exchange"
readers alone. On this paper. for ex-
ample, a certain style is invariably OBJ
served in the printing of communica-
tons addressed to the editor the GUS
tom being always to give the direction
in these words: "To the editor of The
State" Yet it has been our observa-
ton that the proportion of persons
using that form when addressing their
letters to the editor, although the
writer's may be constant readers of
The State, is about one in so. If SO
many as that. The trouble is the same
in the matter of our reading as in
the case Of other purSuits-We are all
in too much of a hurry. We read un-
seeingly, often unthinkingly.

TAR AND FEATHERS FOR ALDER.
MEN.

Chicago has had better experience
with aldermen than Philadelphia only
| because the Chicago people are more
| assertive and will not submit to the
wrongs that Philadelphia seems tc
think must be accepted with patient
endurance. No city is uniformly sc
poorly governed as Philadelphia. II
gets pretty bad in New York and
Chicago at times. but the people rss
men who give bad city government
but Philadelphia has seemed to COM
placently submit to it's corrupt city
government, never rebuking the party
responsible for it. 1t is gratifying to
see one citizen of Philadelphia, even
though he does not sign his name
have spunk enough to protest against
conditions in Philadelphia and hold
up Chicago as an example. &C. r.
writing in the Philadelphia Ledger
says:
81 think that some years ago the
citizens of Chicago. feeling that the
members of councils in that city were
likely to pass an act detrimental to the
interests of the city, informed them
that should the proposed scheme be
consummated they the citiZenS)
would hang or tar and feather the
corrupt councilmen, and the obnox-
iouS measure was at once dropped.
What a blessing it would be if the
indignation of the citizens of Philadel-
phia. could be aroused to such a pitch
that the members of our city councils
would be compelled to show them
some respect. Our city is at present
governed in the interest of the poll
ticians, the wishes of the majority of
the tax payers not receiving the slight
est consideration"
Some years ago. it will be recalled,
after the people had reelected Mayor
Harrison by large majority upon a
city ownership platform, it developed
that a majority of the board Of alder
men had secretly made a corrupt bar
gain to extend a street railway fran
chise, in known opposition to the ex-
pressed will of the people. Mayor Har-
rison sounded the note of warning,
and when the time came for the cor
rupt aldermen to grant the franchise
the hall and the streets were crowded
with thousands of people, every one
wearing a piece of rope on the lapel of
his coat, and declaring that if the
street car franchise was granted the
men voting for it would be swung to
the nearest lamp post. The threat
terrified the sell-outs the streets were
saved, and the men who were in the
deal were killed politically. 1t was a
severe remedy but nothing less drastic
could have won the day in Chicago.
Must Philadelphia belong to the
grafters until the aldermen fear their
necks? 1t looks that way.

THE BANK is THE LAST PLACE
FOR A GAMBLER.

The shocking defalcation of the
Milwaukee banker stunned the finan-
cial world He was only last year
president of the National Bankers
Association and was esteemed to be
one of the ablest and honestest bank
ers in America. He made haste to
be rich took a plunge on Wall
Street and a whirl in wheat. He lost
heavily in both and is today a default
er for a million and a half dollars, a
dishonored and disgraced man. If he
had won, would he be disgraced in the
eyes of the world if they had known
of his plunging? He committed the
crime the day he used the money CT
the bank with which to speculate. The
man who does that is in every moral
respect a defaulter, even though he
may be lucky and replace the money.
The bank official who speculates. who
bets on margins, who CANDLES either
in futures or by "craps" is unfit for
that responsible position. The last
place in the world where gambler is
wanted is in a position of trust where
he handles the money of other people.
Sooner or later his passion for gamb-
ling will overpower him. and then
goodbye to the money of depositors.
AS soon as a bank official seeks to get
rich quick, the best thing for the direc-
tors to do is to give him his walkin~
papers. The trouble with the promi-
nent banker. in Milwaukee was that
he was determined to get rich in a
hurry and to do that he used the
money belonging to others, he used it,
and now he is q criminal. His fate
is the fate of all other bank officers
who begin to gamble.

THE PRIMARY RESULTS.

The results of the two primaries for
CITY officers held in Raleigh on the
goth instant and on yesterday assure
a good city administration.
Mr.. Iredell Johnson, the nominee for
mayor, is a man of character, q, con-
sistent advocate of temperance, who
has always been interested in every
public question on the side of honest
government.
Mr. Thomas Badger, who will be
the first police justice, has no enemies
and is a very popular man. The only
objection urged against him in the Dri-
mary was that he would not vigorous
ly enforce the laws. This charge was
earnestly denied by his friends, who
convinced the people of the city that
he will make a fearless officer. If he
will enforce the laws against vagrancy,
vice and hell-holes, the News and OBJ
server will enthusiastically endorse his
acts.
Mr.. John S. Jones, the next tax
collector is young man of energy
who has made many friends who
gave him whole-hearted support. He
defeated Mr.. Lumsden by reason of
his wide popularity and because Mr..
Lumsden had already held the office
for several years. His nomination
shows that the people of Raleigh are
against long terms and in favor OF
reasonable rotation in office
tin,, of Mr. Wilson
is an indication that the people APP
prove of him as an efficient city clerk.
The new Board Of Aldermen, en-
bracing as it does come of the best
and most progressive men in the city,
will doubtless work together harmon
iously for the best interests of the
city and the whole of its citizenship.

NORTH CAROLINA's INTEREST.

North Carolina is interested in the
Equitable squabble in the sum OF over
ten million dollars, in addition to the
general interest felt by every man who
| carries a policy in any of the great
companies. There are 5,315 policies
in the Equitable held by North Caro-
linians and last year they paid out in
cash $340,512.97 i'm premiums upon
policies aggregating $10,159,499.
The policy holders in other States
are making themselves felt in the
present crisis. Have the North Caro-
lima policy-holders taken any action
to protect themselves? The Equitable
Life Assurance Society has a surplus
of $500, 100000, most of which is of
no service whatever to the policy hold
ers. The money was drawn from the
policy-holders, it really belongs to
them, and yet it goes to piling up a
great pyramidal surplus that is ever
hold the policies, and offering a temp
tation to wanton extravaganza by the
managers.
Every dollar of the surplus, beyond
the amount necessary to mature the
policies should be divided among the
stockholders, and the price of insur-
ance reduced to an amount that will
prevent continual piling up Of an I'M
necessary surplus. Nothing short of
these two things ought to be accepted
by the policy of the company.
No policy-holder is alarmed, for he
knows that he pays enough to carry
insurance, pile up big suplus. and pay
for fancy dress balls and French ban
quets. His family will get the money
all right when he dies, but why
shouldn't he be given the dividends
that go to fancy salaries and absurd
extravaganza?
Think of it. North Carolina paid the
Equitable $340,512.97, and the Equit-
able paid in North Carolina to the
beneficiaries of policy-holders $99,SS2,
leaving North Carolinians paying to
the Equitable $240,73O.97 in excess of
the sums paid back to this State.
ance companies doing business in
North Carolina, and it will be seen
that the others are doing about what
the Equitable has done. Last year
North Carolina paid for life insurance
1926, 1850, and the companies paid
losses in North Carolina aggregating
$S53, 9S3.S9. leaving $2,402, 404.7l
paid out for life insurance by North
Carolina in excess of the amount paid
back in losses. With that great dis
parity in outgo and income, is any
body surprised that the great life in
surance companies are piling up I'M
necessary SURPRISES that invite extrav-
agance? The remedy is to reduce the
cost of life insurance and leave the
unnecessary surplus in the pockets of

Consent In Surgery.

In Chicago Judge Brown, a judge III
an appellant court, has decided that
while the consent of a parent or guard
ian is sufficient to justify a surgeon to
proceed to his work on a minor, yet
the personal consent of an adult is abb
solutely essential before a surgeon can
legally execute his task. The case in
question related to an operation upon
q wife the consent of the husband
having been obtained. Judge Brown,
however, decided that the husbands
consent did not protect the surgeon
from the charge of malpractice with
its heavy pecuniary consequences. The
wife's personal and specific consent
was lacking.
1t seems to be we'll settled in law
that an adult cannot be carved with
out his or her own individual consent,
and yet the patient is often in a con-
dition that does not admit of SounG
judgment and therefore of intelligent
consent or dissent, and yet it is better
and safer to let the individual decide
his or her own case than it is to leave
the question to some one else. especial
ly if the trouble relate to the vermi-
form appendix which has become q
gold mine to surgeons
But it did not come in Judge
Browns way to decide what should
happen to a surgeon who operates on
q person for appendicitis when no APP
pendicitis exists It is a mooted legal
question whether even specific person
al consent would relieve the surgeon
of legal responsibility in such a case.
The exact problem does not seem to
have been tested in the courts.
