INSPECTOR LUNDBERG AT THE BAR.

Whether the second trial of Lundberg will
have a different result from the first, held Il
few weeks ago. cannot be guessed at the pres
ent time A previous disagreement Of the jury
in this case, to say nothing Of similar failures
to convict in countless others, reveals the f1-
tility of predicting the outcome of the latest
attempt to punish somebody for the loss of
life on the General Slocum last June Never
theless, from the popular point Of view, the
government seems to be making conviction ex-
fremely probable If not certain 1t has proved
that the inspector upon whose report a license
was issued to the owners of the Slocum knew
the difference between a good life preseryer
and a bad one. 1t has also demonstrated that
some, If not all, of the life preservers on that
steamer were absolutely worthless. It is COM
paratively immaterial whether Lundberg failed
to discover their real condition or, being aware
Of 1t, ignored the defects in the equipment. He
made a favorable report on the subject, and
his report contributed to the death of a num-
Der Of passengers. The fact that many excur-
sionists on whom life preservers had been adj
justed correctly were found below the surface
of the water is the last link in a strong chain
of evidence. What more could be required to
satisfy rational jurymen of his guilt?
1t might be urged in Lundberg's behalf that
the system of inspection rather than the indi-
vidual inspector, was at fault. To that sug-
gestion the obvious reply is that both were
at fault. Through several previous admins
trations, and from the time when this branch
of the service conducted under the au-
spices of the Treasury Department, there had
been lack Of zeal and much hindrance from
red tape But under President Roosevelt there
were distinct signs of reform, and Lundberg
failed to observe them. Moreover, he had
shown on occasion that he could condemn q
life preserver whose quality was questionable.
If his sense of official responsibility led him
to do that, consistency and honesty made it OBJ
ligatory to condemn all bad life preservers.
Only blunted moral perception can Justify his
negligence.
If the indicted inspector should go free be-
cause the jury either acquit or fail to agree
on conviction, what assurance has the public
that similar negligence will not characterize the
service in the future? New laws and new rules
are all well enough in their way. but the heed
which is paid to them will depend largely on
the possible consequences Of disregarding them.
There will always be danger of dismissal when
negligence is detected, but a sharper spur to
duty will be wholesome fear Of State prison.

especially during the colder months Fatigue
cold, overcrowdng. foul air and dirty dwellings
are regarded exciting causes, though, OF
course, when 1t has become epidemic. many may
suffer from it who are not exposed to such con-

the present prevalence of this little known and

also, a thorough spring cleaning of the streets.

WANTED: MORE FOLKS.

The vice-president of the Atlantic
and North Carolina railroad has issued
an order appointing Mr.. Fred L. Mer-
rift Land and Industrial Agent of that
company, with office at Goldsboro.
There is no section of North Caro-
lima that is richer than the counties
through which this road runs. There
is no man in the State better qualified
to bring the advantages of that section
to the attention of possible settlers
than Mr. Merritt. He knows the State
and loves it. The owners of that road
are doing Eastern North Carolina a
great service in trying to attract
desirable class of immigrants into that
rich portion of the State, and we are
sure that the people will gladly CO.
operate with Mr.. Merritt in this new
departure that means much for the
development of natural resources. the
increase of population, and the in
crease of business and wealth.
We congratulate the company that
Mr.. Merritt has undertaken this work
and we have no doubt it will be Il
great benefit to every landowner and
business man from Goldsboro to More
head.

NOTICE TO QUIT TRUCKING.

Nothing short of full reparation
should be forthcoming says the Bib
Iical Recorder, writing of the losses
of the berry growers. Those who
think that Armour's negligence should
be borne by the farmers, as they bear
the losses by storms and frosts, are
not getting much encouragement. If
the berry-growers are not compensat-
ed for the negligence of the refrigera-
tor company, it is notice to get out of
the trucking business. No sensible
man will run all the risks of trucking
IL he cannot be sure, when his perish
able crop is ready for market, of
quick refrigerator transportation.
The heavy losses by this years fail
ure of the refrigerator company are
serious enough, but unless the grow
crs are compensated the truckers will
quit and the State will lose one of its
greatest and most prosperous indus
tries-an industry that has done more
for Eastern North Carolina in the
past ten years than any other industry
and that promises greater permanent
prosperity.

ReidsViIle Man Ascribes His Recovery
TO Father of Light and Gives
Thanks.

A letter from Reidsville to friend
in Greensboro, says:
Twelve years ago the Sth of last
October 1 entered the Kelley Institute
for treatment for the drink habit l
feel my inability to write about it as
| would wish being no good at Wofd
painting. The best thing to do is to
state facts. l was a slave to drink
had been so for perhaps twenty years
and when l found it had such
hold upon me l wanted to Quit ana
be sober man. In the early stages
of this habit / boasted of my power
over it; could drink or not, just as l
chose Perhaps l could have con-
trolled it then. but alas the time came
when l tried and failed. My good
resolution were no good when that
great thirst, that every drinking man
of long standing knows SO well, would
come upon me and | would fall. |
promised my friends time and again
that / would do so no more. and
thought was telling the truth, but
would soon fall again, and have the
great modification of knowing that l
had not only been drunk again, but
had lied also. This thing went on
until / lost all confidence in myself; l
grieVed i'm my sober moments over
the fact that my manhood was so far
gone that l could not abstain from
drink to the extent of shedding tears
hope almost entirely gone. But my
friends came to the rescue; they car
ried me to the Kelley Institute at
Greensboro where l took a four weeks
treatment and was cured and made
sober man, my desire for drink all
gone, and after all these years has
not returned my system built up and
strengthened; self-confidence restor
ed; manhood re-asserting itself, and |
feel as safe from falling into the
habit again as a man who has lived
to my age and never drank drop.
And if there is any better reason to
give in advising others to take the
treatment than that it cures, some one
else must give it: SO sure as every
good and perfect gift came from the
Father of Light just so sure the Kee-
ley Cure came to me and others

CANNOT MAKE 1T GO.

The st. Paul Globe has suspended
nublicatioon, publishing as the rea-
son that the people of st. Paul ana
NOT furnish sufficient patronage 10
continue it as a newspaper OF the
highest class. 1t turns out that II was
owned bv James J. Hill and was the
organ of his railroad enterprises. IN
stead of helping him, when the people
caught on to the fact that the paper
was subsidized, they declined to pat
ronize it. Mr. Hill tired of pouring in
forty thousand dollars a year to make
up the deficit, and the paper stopped.
The New York World, commenting
uDon the demise, says:
Enthusiastically the paper, though
improbable, could have been sold FOR
a considerable sum. Why? Because
OF the belief Of experienced men that

that have always controlled Ii 1T couIu

The people will not long pay for a
newspaper that is run in the interest
of folks or corporations that have an
axe to grind. The big concerns may
keep on pouring out money, but the
more they put up the more they must
pay. Sometimes the capitalistic paper
sugar-coats the pill and fools the peo-
pie for a time. but they have little re-
spect for any newspaper that is run
for any selfish interest. newspaper
that is the mouthpiece of interests

Spirit of the Press
The Father of Crime.
Carthage Blade.

Carthage Blade.
The News and Observer, the great
terror and enemy of crime in North
Carolina, expresses great and UNI
questioned truth when it says:
illegal selling and distilling of in
toxicants can truly be said to be the
father of nearly all crimes. Let
moonshine still be set up in any COM
munity, or men begin to retail 1lle-
gally, and those in charge are ready
for any other crime up to murder and
arson. Only this week we have had
an object lesson of this in Guilford,
one of the best and most laW-abidlng
counties in the State. A good citizen,
incensed at the unlawful traffic in
liquor in his neighborhood, took steps
to have the evil suppressed. What
was the result? He and his family
were startled from sleep by dyna-
mite explosion and the lurid glare of
flames consuming his house and
BARN
In the court which was held in Car
thage last week there was another
striking instance of the inroad that
can be made upon human character
by blockade stilling. This was a young
man who came from good family and
who bore q good face, convicted of
stealing. 1t is said by good men that
blockade stilling in the community
where the young man was reared was
the cause of his downfall, not that he
was engaged in the business further
than hanging around from day to day
and from month to month and year to
year and drinking the blockade whis-
ky and in every way aiding and
screening the violators of law. 1t is
further said that in this same COM
munity are twenty-five or thirty fam
lilies whose young me nahVe been
ruined by the same blockading Why
not make a crusade against blOckad-
ing and all illicit dealing in whisky?
OF all things a blockade still and it's
business is the most damnable curse
that could affiict a community, debauch
public sentiment, ruin the young and
contaminate the old men. When the
public sentiment becomes so diseased
that this nefarious business can be
tolerated, you soon see men neglect
ing their home duties and the coun-
try for miles around become moe
ulated with the seeds of the devil.
Then you may look for anything that
is degrading to man or ,dishonoring to
God. Every vice fiourishes luxurious
ly, from gambling and stealing to
house burning and murder

THE STATES CREDIT ALL RIGHT.

Two years ago the State of North
Carolina issued 100000 of four per
cent. ten-year bonds. They netted the
Safe 1903 IL. This-year the State is
sued $25O.00O of eight-year bonds to
pay the South Dakota judgment and
for like outstanding loans. Bids We're
opened yesterday and the bonds
brought 1906 an increase of one and
one-half cent upon each dollar over
the previous issue of bonds.
1t is a little remarkable that the
same parties who bought the bonds
two years ago were again the highest
bidder. The issue two years ago was
bought by Townsend, Scott & Co., of
Baltimore. They found an eager de-
mand for them. This year the same
firm. in conjunction with c. A. Webb
& Co.. purchased the issue of bonds.
The demand for these bonds by men
who have given closest study to the
credit of the State shows that North
Cardinals credit is gilt-edged.
