Advertising
Creates Value

One of the receivers of the National
Salt company testified in court that a
certain trademark was considered "a
valuable asset" as 1t was the brand Of
salt that brought the highest price and
had good market.
Asked how this salt was different
from other salts sold by the company,
the receiver, hesitating. admitted that
there was no difference; that they all
came out of the same kettle. When
the court then inquired what caused
the high price and good market for
this particular product the witness re-
piled:
~Simply the extensive and attrac.
tive Advertising the brand got.o
One thought suggested by this curl
GUS confession is the testimony II
bears as to the efficacy of advertising
to create "a valuable asset" even
where, as in this-let us hope excep-
tional-instance, the advertiser was
not quite candid about the quality of
the goods.-New York Herald.

PROPER SUBJECTS OF SPOLLA
TION.

Two suits for fifty thousand dollars
each have recently been brought against
the Atlantic Coast Lire Railroad Com
pany in the state court in the city
of Charleston, S. c., for damages for
fatal accidents on that road. This IS
an unusual amount to sue for in case
OF death through accident on railroads
in that state These suits are straW<5
which show the way the wind is
blowing. They illustrate the increas-
ed hostility of the public against rail-
road corporations brought about by the
recent activity Of certain state officials
and office-seekers who are active
in stirring up public feeling Of en-
nifty on the part of the people gener
ally against railroad corporations. The
feeling is daily gaining greater hold
on the public because of the teaching
of this coterie Of politicians, that ali
railroads are the legitimate prey of
the people, who are being taught to
think that whatever they can make
out Of those corporations is fair; that
it is not considered wrong to do a
railroad, because all such companies
are properly to be considered the enc
mics of tho nuh1jc and r,rOpor OhincfS
Of spOliatiOn.

4 BIRD IN HAND

Already the papers in the central
and western sections of the state have
begun the discussion as to the place OF
meeting of the next democratic staee
convention. We would like to see it
held in this city, but, of course, that
is out of the question. Wilmington,
for more reasons than one could not
possibly secure it. The choice lies be-
tween four cities-Greensboro Raleigh
Charlotte and Asheville Raleigh re-
cognizes the fact that she is so far

the price they set on the property or
not sell at all
Further taan that, they refused to
make public the report OF this expert
engineer made tn the board OF alder
men while he was acting as an officer
OF the city. What right has the board
of aldermen TO Aeep secret or suppress
a report OF any VI its officials or en-
ployes paid for his services out of the
public fund? Every taxpayer in the
CITY who contributed 10 Mr.. Ludlow's
salary has a right To know what his
report contained, and the board of
aldermen fails in its duty 10 the people
when it refuses TO give that report TO
the public
We want to see fair play. We want
70 see the city own the waterworks
if it can give the people cheaper serv-
ice and can do so without violating the
laws of justice and of honesty in its
dealings with those who have vested
rights in the city; but We do not want
to see the big stick" program inaugu-
rated in our city government; nor do
we want to see the city authorities

they are doing. Why this mystery as

MR.. BURTON's RETIREMENT

Congressman Burton, OF Ohio, VINO
was chairman of the rivers and har-
bors committee OF the house Of repre-
sentatives for the last few congresses
has grown tired OF congressional lie
and intends 10 retire from national
public life after the present congress
to become the republican candidate for
mayor of the city Of Cleveland, Ohio,
in opposition to Tom Johnson, multi
millionaire peoples candidate Who
has been elected mayor Of that city
FIVE or six times. This is matter
which will be OF interest TO our people
OF the Cape Fear section because OF
his position as chairman OF the house
committee on rivers and harOOis
While it has been understood mat
Mr.. Burton favored the deepening Of
the channel in the Cape Fear from
Wilmington to the sea, it was we'll
known that he opposed the scheme iOr
a lock system on the river between
this city and Fayetteville. We hope
his successor on that committee Will
be a persOn-he will be q republican,
OF course-who will be in favor CT
an appropriation for making the Cal e
Fear navigable from the sea 70 Fay
etteville With the millions OF dollars
congress has to appropriate and does
appropriate each year for the benefit
of the seaport towns OF the country we
do not see why this section cannot
get it's share There is no section OF
the union where the expenditure by
the government CT three or four mil
lion dollars would do more good to the
people of a larger area OF country,
We hope our section will get a better
friend in Mr. Burton's successor than
he has proven to be toward our most
important projects for river and haT-
Dor Improvement.

Why Not Eligible for Nomination for
PresideAt

Anent current suggestions that Col.
Henry Watterson be made the demo-
cratic nominee for president the
Charleston News and Courier objects
that he is too genuine democrat fC1
this age of political fads and faddists.
II goes on TO show that he would re-
vive the best traditions of the re
public if only the feat of nominating
and electing him were not impossible
With which we quite agree. Colonel
Watterson began TO be presidentiaily
impossible when he failed TO go wrong
with the majority of the. party on the
money question in 1896. And there is
another and yet more decisive count
against him. AS he has himself said
mo man who ever wore the gray jack
ct will ever be president of the United
States" Yes, indeed; Col Watterson
would make well-nigh ideal candi-
date and ideal president, but, largely
for that very reason he will be passed
by far on the other side-Charlotte

are the two points to contend for the
honor-and the profits They are more
centrally located than any other cities
which could accommodate the crowd
Greensboro has time and again demon
strated her ability to take care of all
the strangers who enter her gates on
such occasions and she has shown her
willingness 70 royalty entertain her
guests With Charlotte it would be
an experiment Maybe she can do as
we'll as Greensboro; but there is 10
doubt about what the latter can do
With all due respect TO Charlotte, it
is something on the order OF bird in

THE SENATORSHP

The dignified manner in which Sen
ator Overman treats the attempt by
scheming politicians to defeat his re-
election ought to raise him in the es-
timatfCn of all North Carolinians and
TO strengthen his hold on the people.
He says to the people: Here is mv
record | stand by it. make no
claim to the Office. If you wish to pur
another man in the office it is your
privilege to do SO and | will yield
without n1urmer to the public's wish
And il is a record that the people Of
North Carolina may we'll be PROUD OF.
Mr., Oyerman is man" that al.
North Carolinians should be proud Of.
II will be a sad day for the state when
the people allow his career as SEN Itor
to be cut short at the expiratic.n of tis
first term in order tEEac mere poll
tician may be put in his place. No
matter how Well qualified for the place
his successor may be the state will get
a setback in making the change. A
| man of Mr.. Overman's ability becomes
| a more useful representative of the
state the longer he is kept in the office.
The Office does not belong to the pol
iticians 1t belongs to the state and she
| needs to have it filled by the best man
she can select 1t is not a place for re-
warding successful wirepullers and
men who think they have done grea-
things for the party. The people mus
get over that idea if they expect their
state to take its proper place in the
| biggest legislative body in this cOun-
| try When North Carolina again
| shows that she considers a sanatOrshiD
q position of honor and trust and not
| a place to be bestowed as reward for
party work then, and then only, will
/ she take her proper place in the halls

THE GOEBEL MURDER CASE

Ex-Governor Taylor had better go
back to Kentucky and tell what he
knows or does not know about the
assassination of Governor Goebel. Ca
leb Powers, who has been put on trial
three times and is soon to stand
fourth trial, threatens to tell all he
knows about the affair if Governor
Taylor will not come back to the state
and testify in his behalf. 1t is
to be hoped that this defendant will
unburden himself and tell what he
knows about this mysterious killing.
We, for one, have never been satisfied
with the evidence in the cases which
have been tried. There has been
doubt in our mind as to the guilt Of
the men who have been convicted of
completely in the case 1t will be &:
relic fto the public if one who knows
all about the case will come out and
make a clean confession. That the
men charged with completely are gull
ty of part fcipation in the deed we have
never doubted, but the extent of their
guilt has been a proposition which has
puzzled u.s. Powers confession may
set this matter at rest and let the pub
lie know who it was that fired the
fatal shot

THE WATERWORKS QUESTION

Charlotte has municipal ownership
of waterwOrks For a single opening
the charge now is $125 per quarter.
The waterworks commission is con-
sidering the proposition of one Of its
members that the rate be raised to So
a quarter. The present metre rate is
twenty-five cents per thousand gal
Ions There is talk Of raising this to
'thirty-f1ve cents.
In Wilmington, We believe, the
charges by the private corporation
which owns the waterworks is one dol
lar and half per quarter for one op-
ening and twenty cents per thous-
and gallons by metre measure
We thought the reason for municipal
ownership was that the people might
have cheaper water than they nave to
pay for this convenience to private
companies.
We do not believe there is a town
in the state which owns it's own water
works that can show cheaper-if as
cheap-rates than Wilmington. Does
the board Of aldermen of our city
guarantee our people cheaper water
when it installs it's plant? 1t has al
ready thrown away several thousand
dollars OF the peoples money in pre-
liminary work which has been perfect
ly useless. a notable case along this
line is the payment of fifteen or six
teen hundred dollars to an expert en-
gineer to examine and report on the
value of the Clarendon Company's
system whose report, because it plac-
ed the value of the property above what
the aldermen were willing to pay for
it, has been entirely ignored by that
body. AS far as any good the city
has derived from the employment OF
that expert the aldermen might as we'll
have thrown that much of the people's
money in the fire. They employed
this perfectly competent expert to make
an estimate of the value of the nrop-
erty they contemplate purchasing. He
made a thorough examination ora
made his report. The aldermen drew
on the tax payers for a large sum of
money to pay his fee and then, becauSe
his estimates were larger than they
a set OF men perfectly inexperienced in
such matters-were willing to pay they
ignored his report and insisted that
the Waterworks company should take

that course. I dc not propose to be
dictated to by any one as to the way
I shall vote, and if my constituents
don't like that they may select some
one else to do the voting for them
When a man gets to talking that way
it is pretty good sign that he is
losing hope. The politician does not

long as he feels he has the people I'm

corporations. The railroads by yield
ing their rights and submitting to tenn
porary injustice have prevented the
bringing about of the same unfortunate
situation in this state which now ex-
lists in Alabama.
/. We think the railroads in this state.
instead of meriting the abuse which
has been heaped upon them, deserve
great credit for having prevented Sc
rious complications by their surren-
der of their rights and We feel sure
that IN time the people will fully un-
derstand the sitratioa and will give the
railroads credit for what they have
done. This will be when the people
come TO fully understand the schemes
of the politicians and the demagogues
who are now leading he crusade
against those corporations. What the
people want is fair treatment from the
railroads, not persecution of those
corporations. That they have aot been
fairly treated by them in many mat
ters we admit. Those injustices should
be corrected, but the railroads should
not be prosecuted beyond limit and the
people do not want to see that done
The people are honest and just.
The semi-weekly messenger., 1907-09-13

In this mornings Messenger we give
our readers two communications on
the all-absOrbing railroad rate question
which we think are we'll worth read
ing. One is from a citizen of RaiAign,
a man who has been much in public
life and who stands among the fore
most men of the state, one whose
opinion is much sought after and
whose judgment has grert weight in
matters political and nor partisan in
state affairs. The other letter is from
a subscriber in small eastern town.
He is a man who has no financial in
terest in the railroad question which
is now agitating the state. His letter
is a clever review of the present sit
uation. He makes some good points.
and all through his communication
there runs vein of humor which
makes the article very entertaining.
There is lot of good horse sense In
it. We recommend to the governor
careful perusal of the letter. He may
gain some good points from 1t.

BRYAN'S CANDIDACY.

The New York Press prints what it
calls the official announcement of Mr..
Bryan's candidacy for the democratic
nomination for president. We hardly
believe this to be correct, for we do
not believe Mr.. Bryan would make his
announcement in this way. That he
will be a candidate when the proper
time comes and that he will receive
the nomination we do not doubt, but
Mr.. Bryan will not make known his
candidacy in that way He will try to
make it appear that the nomination
has sought him. He will not declare
himself before the meeting of the
convention but he and his lieutenants
will see to it that the convention nom
mates no other man and that the
platform is in conformity with his
ideas. Mr. Bryan will be the nominee
OF the party on a platform of his own
choosing and he will receive a smaller
popular and electoral vote than he
did Oh either occasion of his former
candidates.. He, as the democratic
nominee, will break the solid south
His nomination, by that means, nay
increase the chances of the demo-
Gratis to elect their candidate in 1912.
