HowLong, Oh wLong
Must the Public be Nauseated by
the Quarrel Between the Two
Raleigh Daily Papers?-The Dis
ease and the Remedy.

Enfield Progress.
In the following sweet and gentle
words the Raleigh Evening Times
speaks of Josephus Daniels:
While the Evening Times is not con-
cerned one way or the other about the
wild and rabid ranting of Josephus DAN
iels on the question OF changes in certain
railroad schedules, the editor OF this news
paper desires to reiterate personally and
specifically what he has said publicly on
former occasions, namely, that Josephus
Daniels is an Infamous liar when he un-
dertakes to convey the impression that
the Evening Times is the revived corpse of
the Morning Post. Language even more
severe than this might be employed, but
it would have no effect upon the liar, es-
pecially asst is we'll known that less than
one month ago-as at other times-he
was halted on the streets of Raleigh and
cursed to his face till he ran away, like
the coward that he is.
Ofcourse Josephus Daniels will make
reply in language OF the same style.
The long-suffering reading public
may not dare hope for any thing else.
And SO it will continue-charge and
counter-charge, insult and counter
insult, ad infinitum, ad nauseum.
AS we have previously remarked in
these columns, it makes us extreme
y weary. If the editor of the News
and Observer is a liar, if the editor OF
the Evening Times is an unhung
felOn, who cares? If both are cow
ards, who feels any interest in that
supremely unimportant fact?
The only question in which the pub
lie feels an iota of concern is this:
How much longer is this contempti-
BILE mud-slinging to continue? We
give the answer: 1t will continue as
long as the people permit, as long as
they pay their good dollars that men
may have a medium through which
to vent their personal spite, as long
as the vox populi is not raised in de-
termined protest. A few subscrip-
tions suspended, for the expressed
reason that published insult and
abuse are a stencil in the nostrils, will
60 far toward making the Raleigh
papers less filthy in conduct, if no
cleaner at heart. The disease is
loathsome, but the remedy is in the
hands of the people.

A New Trunk Line.
Wilmington Messenger.


According to a report published in
the Manufacturers Record the rail-
road consolidation recently accom-
plished of lines in the eastern part of
this State means even greater things
than generally supposed. 1t stands
for nothing less than the forming of
a trunk line from the Chesapeake to
the Gulf of Mexico, with many feeders
and branch lines.
1t is said the recent purchase of
several railroads to the southwark
by the Williams -Middendorf syndi-
cate is in conjunction with the Nor
folk and Southern extension and that
these roads, with the connecting links
to be built, will form another trunk
line through this section of the South.
The Raleigh and Southport rail-
road, which will soon be completed
from Raleigh to Fayetteville, and the
road formerly known as the Carolina
and Northern, now in operation be-
tween Marion, S. c., and Lumberton,
and to be extended northward, it is
said, will form parts of the through
line. These two roads are still sup
posed to be independent lines. They
may continue to be so and yet form
parts in the through line; but it is
more probable that they will be con-
solidated with the roads north and
south of them.
| 1t was the original intention to ex-
tend the Raleigh and Southport road
to Wilmington or on to Southport.
This plan may still be adhered to il
the road becomes q part of the trunk
line, for such extension would be a
valuable feeder to that line, and it
would give our city another outlet to
Norfolk, putting her on a third
through system to the North and to
the South.
Mr.. Mills, the president of the
Raleigh and Southport road, says it
is and will continue to be an indie
pendent road, treating all Others
! alike and doing business with them
on equal terms. If his road should
continue to be independent it will
still form an important link in the
new north and south line. Further.
more, it will give the Coast Line and
the Norfolk and Western entrance in.
to Raleigh, and the Norfolk and
Western, the Southern and the Nor.
folk and Southern entrance into Viii
mington over lines independent ol
the three big railway systems which
now control the traffic of the State
The development of the plans o
those at the head of this new railroad
movement will be watched with great
interest by the people of Eastern
North Carolina. A large area of this
section will be embraced within the
"sphere OF influence" of the main line
and its branches.

We readily recognize quality and

Why not acknowledge the same when
we have to do with the various
phases OF farming?
Quality-what is it?
The first attribute of success i'm all
things. 1t is the best seed cotton OBJ
tainable. 1t is seed cotton selected
from the best and most prolific stalks.
1t is soil-well titled, improved by
culture, legumes and cover crops.
1t is the cow-with milk or beef
form, which earns q living and pays
her owner we'll for her care and trou-
BILE.
1t is the hog-broaG over back and
shoulders, deep in the sides and fine in
bone, legs and head. Quality is every
phase of soil or crop or animal. 1t
is the best obtainable for our environ
ments and conditions.
Finally, quality is the good former;
the man who reads, who studies, ex-
periments; the man who believes in
his work and feels honored by it.
Quality is the good farmer.

Senator Bailey's Prayer.
Nashville American.

Nashville American.
In closing his recent speech in the
Senate Senator Bailey indulged in
some reflections aside from the legal
phase and merits of his argument,
and which all can indorse. They are
worth repeating. He said: II would
feel that we were reaching an era in
this devoted land when men are to
be judged by how they act and what
they think, rather than by what they
have; when intellect, and not for
tune, when conduct, more than birth
should be the measure of our esteem,
and when an honest fame should be
the goal toward which our ambitious
youth should be taught to toll and
hope.
'Mr. President, l am one of those
who believe that such time may
come-of course, l am not so simple
minded as to dream that the old
days Of small fortunes and great con-
tentment will ever come again to
bless the land, but | do believe in the
coming of a better day than this,
when the man who knows that he is
Just and honest will feel that he is
happier in his circumstances than the
man whose riches have been corrupted
through injustice.
Ipray for the time to come when we
shall have a new standard to guide
our children; when we shall teach
them that Justice is better than pow
er, and lead them into the ennobling
faith that truth shall conquer false
hood in every home where peace
abides and in every land where men
are free. Under the influence Of high.
er ideals and more unselfish aspi-
rations all hate and envy will vanish
from our minds, and the only evil
thought which still must vex us will
be the malice which the bad shall
forever feel toward the good. When
conduct instead of fortune is made
the rule by which we Judge all men,
every boy in all the land no matter
how humble his parentage or how
limited his opportunity, will feel the
thrill Of hope, and the carpenters son
will know that if only he is just and
brave and honest he will be more re.
spected than the son OF any million
aire who ever wasted his fathers for
tune in idle dissipation or soiled his
fathers name by gross excesses.

Public But Not Political Questions
Greensboro Industrial News.

Greensboro Industrial News.
Two of the most important meas
ures that are now before the people
OF North Carolina are good schools
and good roads. That both are bene-
fetal to any community everyone ad-
mits. The only difference OF opinion
appears to be as to the question of
issuing bonds or increasing taxation
for their construction and support.
That is matter, however, that
should be fought out on it's own
merits and not be dragged into the
political arena.
One of the most unfortunate ten
dencies in the public life of the State
is the inclination evinced by many to
make all public questions party
questions, even though the lines of
demarcation between the parties have
absolutely no bearing on the ques-
tion at issue. "Render unto Caesar
the things that are Caesars, and
unto God the things that are Gods, ="
is advice given us from the highest
source, and until we heed it and di-
vorce from politics matters of a
purely local or economic nature we,
as people, can never give to these
matters the calm, thoughtful consid-
Grafton they deserve.
AS it is with roads and schools, so
it is with regard to other matters. A
Democrat and a Republican are apart
on certain theories of government,
but that disagreement should in no
way make either less solicitous for
the moral, mental and material ad-
vancement of the State to which both
owe allegiance.
The man, no matter what his poll
tics may be, who seeks to becloud
non-political questions by dragging
them into politics deserves the con-
demnation of his neighbors. We
should he big enough to differ with
another man OH certain questions
and yet fight shoulder to shoulder
with him for certain other things OF
which we both heartily approve.
