WOMAN'S WORK.
What She Has Accomplished and Her
Capacity For Yet Greater
Achievements.

Yesterday afternoon the Woman's
Club Room was the scene of gather
ing of interested women, assem- bled by
invitation of the Child's Study Depart
ment, to hear Miss Goldberg, of Texas,
in her address on 1.-THE Woman Be-
hind the Club" Miss Goldberg's talk
was in every way worthy of such an
audience. Her subject was one well
calculated to carry interest to her
hearers. and to evoke her praise and
strong advocacy of club life.
She took cursory survey of wo-
mans work in the various departments
of club activity-along the lines of
civic betterment, of education, of
Htrary extension, of social sentiment,
of juvenile court reform, of domestic
science. What woman has accomp-
lished shows what woman can yet ae-
plish-gives an earnest of what
club life can do in the betterment OF
society.
Club life in it's best sense results, not
in the development of individualism
narrow am bitions for self culture, but
tends to broader altruism, a sense OF
social responsibility, a wish for the ex-
tension of the worlds goods from the
favored few to the unfortunate many.
In the broadening influence thus
brought to bear upon the club woman
Her own household are the sharers
and beneiciaries. Through her en-
larged Intellectual outlook and he1
development of altruistic spirit, she is
able to bring into her household the
outside worlds bredth of interest and 6
more understanding sympathy.
Club organization seems the natural
means of accomplishing the desired
improvement of conditions, and in
cidentally of improving the instru
ments in this work. So that, as more
and more work is accomplished ane
the efficiency of the worker becomes
more and more highly developed, W.
may take a hopeful view of the future
of club life and it's elevating results
Miss Goldberg's message was one o
hope and encouragement-her word
brought to her hearers an inspiration
toward the highest endeavors.

GOLDSBORO, N. c., THURSDAY. APRIL IS, 1907.
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.
What They are Doing to Secure Bet.
ter Lights and Better Service
For GOIdSbOfO.

Please permit me space to say to the
citizens of Goldsboro. that the Board of
Public Works appreciate the great
patience they have shown.
It has been quite while, it is true,
since the present Board took charge of
the Light and Water plants, and we
have not as yet, apparently shown any
results that would materially affect
the citizens, as far as more light and
cheaper lights go, but we have had a
lot of work to do, such as investigating
different machinery, different methods,
and we have visited great many
plants, we have written hundreds of
letters on the subject. all with view
of learning how some people can sell
lights for five and seven and one half
cents per killo-watt, while we are
compelled to sell tor II 1-2 cents to
simply pay our expenses.
If had the time and you the space
it would give me pleasure to give you
some of the results Of our investiga-
tions, as am quite sure they would
be very interesting, and at the same
time, doubtless, save the future Boards
of Public Works from lot of unneces-
sary abuse.
| From the very first, after the present
Board took charge, we determined to
improve our plants, as the only right
solution. After much careful research
we decided to consolidate the two
plants, the Board of Alderman having
agreed to borrow $4,000 to aid US in the
consolidation, and the electric light
plant is now paying the interest on
this money.
Our boilers at the pumping station
are worn out,and to save the city about
$3,OOO.00 for boilers, we decided it
would be better to move our electric
make one plant do the work of both,
and we are well on the way now with
this work. We have the house COM
pleted and are now building the, fonn-
dation for our new Coriss engine,
which we expect to be shipped very
soon, as the factory states they are
rushing the order with all possible
speed.
l. We could haye moved our old ma
chinery to the plant at the river, but
such an arrangement would not have
given us any more lights than we now
have, neither would it have enabled us
to produce electric power any cheaper,
consequently, we concluded to do the
very best thing that could be done under
the circumstances, without involving
the city in a large debt, and at the same
time give to our citizens the very best
lights.
Pardon me for saying, in concluding,
} that larger number of our citizens
have given us great many kind words
of encouragement, for all of which we
} wish to return to them our most pro-
found thanks.
4 We appreciate the fairness with
.. which the ARGUS has ever treated us
} in it's columns.
Yours respectfully,
W.. MATHEWS,
Member Board OF Pub. Works

Roosevelt's Future

A good many people are indulg g. ing in much specula ton s to th' future of Theodore Roosevelt after he leaves the White House. Some suggest that he be made governor of the Philippines, others that h. become president Of Harvard. others that he become manager of q big metropolitan newspaper. and 30 on. But all these seem to over look the fact that the president has very clearly indicated to his friends at least that he knows precisel, what he wants 10 do. and that ht IS to be United States senator iron, New York There is some ques ton as to whether Mir. Roosevelt can achieve his ambition, and some of the political wiseacres of the Empire state say he cannot; but once it becomes known among the rank and file of New York republi cans that such is the presidents ambition, accurate prognostica- ton will be easier. Senator Platt's term in the Senate expires on the same day that President Roose- welt leaves the White House. and it would be the occasion of the utmost qualification 10 Mir. Roose welt if he could drive down Penn sylvania avenue to the apitol and ta ke the oath of office as a senator without moments interim in his public career.-Yuma Sentinel.

Says Kibbey Will Stick

I am quite confident that Gov Kibbey has no intention of resign ing and that he will serve out his entire term"
 This was the statement made by United States Attorney Alexander last evening. Capt. Alexander arrived here yesterday morning to secure new. warrant for Lellevier. the Naco newspa per man, who is held in jail in Phoenix on a charge of robbing Mexican mails.
 President Roosevelt has entire confidence in Governor Kibbey and he greatly y admir- the stand aken by the executive of this terri tory regarding railroad and min ing corporations" continued Mr. Alexander. ''It is not to be supposed then that the resigna ton of the present governor will be asked for"
 Mir. Alexander is confident that the jointure nightmare will not appear again. He is of the opinion that Arizona will be allowed to work out her own destiny.
 "The president, without question was misled as to the real sentiment of the people on the jointure proposition, but he has now seen the light, and Arizonans may be assured that they will receive a square deal It has always been the policy of President Roosevelt to treat every one fairly, and now that the people of this territory have unmistak kahly registered their opinion on jointure with New Mexico. I do not believe that it will ever again become an issue. ."-Tuc- son Citizen.

NOW FOR SINGLE STATEHOOD


 has announced that he will not further push his proposition to make one state out of Arizona and New Mexico, may we not hope that he will go further and agree that each of these territories may be ad- mitted IS a single state?
 Arizona and New Mexico are both as well qualified for state hood as was any of the western states at the time of their admis- sion, and both are now equal in importance and prosperity to some of the states already in the union.
 Why should not these two terri tories, the last remaining ones ex- cept our island possession, be granted the right and privilege of self government on the same terms that were granted very many of the present states at the time of their admission?
 We see occasionally an argu- ment against the admission of Ari zona as state because 1t would not be fair to the great state of New York to put Arizona on an equal footing with that state in the senate of the United States. There is not a state in the union on an equal footing with New York in the senate Such an argument can best be answered by pointing to the state of Nevada, which, at the last census. had a popula tion of but little more than half that of Arizona and not one-third of the population of New Mexico. Such an argument is ridiculous, The lower house of Congress Is divided to the states according to their population and while New York would have thirty seven congress men Arizona would have only one.
 Measured by population, wealth and character of citizenship Arizo- ma is the equal of any state west of the Mississippi river at the time of it's admission. The territorial gov ernment in Arizona today and in the past will measure to the aver age government in the states. Of 6cial defalcations have been al most wholly unknown and we have never had public scandal. Ari zona can today point to public school system equal in efficiency for the public education of it's child ren to any state in the union. Our people have paid more per capita for the support of free schools than the people of any other state, and today there is not school popula- ton of ten children within radius of ten miles without a public school.
 Mark Smith, we believe and hope, will find the opportunity fo, pushing a statehood bill during the approaching Congress. If our peo- pie will arouse to his support in pushing a statehood bill as they did in the fight against joint state hood we believe the chances for getting the territory out of the ter ritorial wilderness will be excel lent.-PhoeniX Democrat.
