MAKES SHOES COMFORTABLE.

William A. Hungerford. a former
well-known Washingtonian. is stopping
at the Raleigh on a trip through the
country in the interest of his new COM
pany.
Last spring he put his trade-marl1ed
name ''Humanic." as applied to speciality
shoes. with the III j. patent shoe i'm
provement Of II. c. Jenney. the super
intendent OF Hathaway. soule & Har-
rington's shoe factory. at New Bedford.
Mass. and incorporated a stock COM
pany in Boston.
Mr.. Hungerford expects TO remain
here several weeks waiting upon shoe re
tailers IN the eompany's interests. When
asked TO explain his shoe patent he said:
For a hundred years shoe Dlanufac-
turers have been making shoes with a
big bunch OF leather at the front seam
below the instep by Overlapping seven
thicknesses Of leather at this point. thus
causing a bulky seam or bunch.
which has caused untold foot suffering.
We butt these pieces together. making
smooth, fat seam that makes the shoe
fit like a glove. This H. j. method has
already been adopted by eighty or more
shoe manufacturers
Mr. Hungerford stated that his com
pany leased the method TO shoe manu-
facturers at / cent a pair He is vice
president and general manager of the
company and IS well qualified for the
position.

Several months ago an old personal

What Russia Has Gained.


All the world travaileth together
for good. Nothing that is worth
the having, whether among races,
peoples, nations or individuals, has
ever been had for nothing. Among
governments, the price TO be paid
has varied-sometimes it has been
thrift and economy, as among the
Swiss; sometimes application and
devotion to the arts, as among the
Greeks; sometimes a sturdy nght
against great odds, as among the
Americans when they sought TO
create a government of their own.
and too often. as is now the case
in Russia and was once the case in
France. it has been internal disorder,
incendiarism, pillage. rapine. car
mage, in a word revolution.
But the good result has always
come The pessimist may smile ever
so indulgently, but he will search
the records Of the whole world in
vain for single example of a worthy
people who have intelligently paid
the price for good and not obtained
It. Russia should be. and to us Of
this generation she will be, con-
elusive example For the coming
of good out Of the corruption, theft.
legal injustice. degradation Of the
church, suppression of thought, and
sacrifice Of life which have prevail
ed in Muscovy these past fifty years
is one of the most impressive hap
penings ever noted among men.
How manifest it is already that
good has come to Russia! A war
IN which none Of her people had anv
heart has been brought to a close.
The heavy hand of iron control has
been lifted from every community
within her borders. Those who pay
the taxes are now to spend them.
Their servants are to be subject to
their control The loss Of liberty
as a punishment for free speaking
and free thinking is to be no more.
If it is objected that these bless
ings are not yet secured TO Russia,
IL can be answered that no other
people in history ever yet gave them
back when once they had been grant
ed. But there is a better proof than
this that these great benefactions are
real.
The news of yesterday teemed with
importance TO this empire First,
peace had been restored to her chief
cities. Second, Finland-seized in
violation of the Cars own word and
held in violation of the nation s
pledge-had been allowed to form

It's the Senate'S Move.

Is the tariff 10 go TO a commission
after all?
Is Congress TO lose one of its
sweetest perquisites-its negotia-
tions with protected interests?
Is the Senate to yield the field Of
its most absolute power?
Hardly.
Yet these are the eventualities in
volved in the plan Ambassador Stern
burg is said to have brought to Sec
retary Root as the first step proposed
by Germany to avert a tariff war
with the United States.
The plan is that there shall be an
other joint commission (pOssibly an
other Joint High Commission "f
ten members on each side and that
they are to frame a treaty of ar
rangement" whereby the reichstag's s
prohibitive rates shall be reduced
on American imports in accord with
reductions by America OF the Nc
Kinley rates On German imports.
Well, there are a good many ways
to kill a duck without choking it 10
death with butter. This is as good
a way as any, perhaps, TO appease
the shippers whose interests are at
stake and the consumers whose com
fort is at stake until the Senate real
ly makes up its mind to do some
thing or the shippers are all out of
business and the consumers have be-
come accustomed to the higher
duties. For in the end the whole
authority in these premises rests
with the United States Senate. Joint
high commissions can agree, trans
cribe, and sign with great ceremony
from now until Germany is washed
into the Baltic sea. but unless the
Senate chooses TO ratify their con-
ciusions they might just as well save
themselves the trouble.
The issue, then, will stand after
Baron Sternhurg's plan has been con-
sidered with all proper courtesy. and
maybe adopted, exactly where ii
stood during the last session of Con-
gress- Nothing but the force OF
public opinion can move our Con

duties. The Senate has manifested
that it does not believe there is any

THE CLOSING EXERCISES OF
ENFIELD'S GRADED SCHOOL.

Written for The Commonwealth.
| On Wednesday morning and even
ing, May Oath, were held the closing
exercises OF our school. The fourth
annual exposition OF the school work
was held at the graded school building
between the hours OF nine and eleven
o'clock From eleven to one O'Clock
the grade exercises took place, which
were very interesting and enjoyed by
every one. The little boys and girls
recited we'll the pieces selected Tor
them, end sang beautiful songs. We
were delighted at having the Hon. j..
Y. Joyner, State Superintendent OF
Pubic Instruction, make us short
EMO able talk. Superintendent f. S.
Sheppe read the roll OF honor for HAY
and the list OF promotions. The clos
ing scene Of the tno1ning was a pretty
play the HV1sit from Fairyland, 'by the
sixth and seventh grades.
Wednesday evening at s 80 O'Clock
A large audience gathered in Staliing's
opera house to hear the graduates es-
says and Mr.. Joyner's address. When
the curtain rose the stage was beauti-
fully and artistically decorated with
flowers and potted plants, and large
United States flag. The three gradu-
stes, Misses Maude Dickens, Dorothy
Pike and Sadlebelle McGwigan, were
seated in The center OF the stage, and
The trustees OF the school on the lett OF
them, an1 Rev. n. L. Gaskins, Supt.
E. S Shepps, DR.. A. S. Harrison and
Mr.. Joyner on the right side. The ex-
srcise was opened with prayer by Rev.
Y. l.. Gask,ns. The first essay, "The
Might of Little Things" was by Miss
Dickens. Miss Lizzie Powell and Miss
Vernon Holloway rendered pretty in
stru mental duet. ':The Voice of His
tory and Prophecy was by Miss Pike,
followed by an instrumental solo by
Miss Ida Heptinstall. "The Vision OF
Sir Lawnfal," the valedlctory by Miss
McGwigan was followed by an instru-
mental solo by Miss Holloway.
Mr.. Joyner gave Us iorceiul add ress
on the importance of education which
was very mnch enjoyed. He spoke In
high terms of the progress OF our
school, and was much pleased with the
graduates essays. In fact, he seemed
to be pleased with ali he saw and
heard and praised us so much that we
fell IN love with him. 1t was happy
occasion for him and all.
Supt. E. s. Sheppe made some good
remarks and presented diplomas to the
graduates. The graduates were also
presented with lovely bouquets of
American beauty roses and carnations.
We are glad that Prof. E. s. Sheppe
has decided TO stay with us another
year.
The exercises closed with beautiful
song, ".The Graduates FAREWELL" sung
| by the pupils 81 the high school de-
partment. The song made many OF
our hearts ache to think that we were
parting from or loved ones, perhaps
never to meet again on this earth.
