TO PANICS.

Some men SO manage their affairs
that they would not know that they
had been passing through money
stringency if they did not read the
papers. Such a man il Mr.. j. S.
Weathers. who lives near Garner. in
Wake county. He was in Raleigh last
week and called at The News and OBJ
YER office to pay his subscription
After paying it he said: Il have now
paid my taxes and for my paper and
do not w a dollar in the world.

There is no doubt that most people
think they are obliged to haze twice

travagance that has seemed to become
fixed upon the country. Some man
has said that the cause Of the pres

money invested in automobiles had

Dr. John Milton North. was wont to
say that if the people would live just
one yea as they did during the war
they would have enough saved to get
along in the future
But the man who breaches
in private life has been regarded as
an old fogy and the man who breaches
economy in public affairs is the butt
of ridicule. The simple life is de-
spised except Is it is prated bout as
a fad or d change. A few years ago
the Billion Dollar Congress change
swept Cleveland into the White House.
Now a billion dollar Congress is re-
garded as a common thing and no
voice is raised for the economics
government that Jefferson and Jack
son and Tilden thought synonymous
with good government. Public money
is voted to almost any scheme firm
holding expositions to substituting mail
boats and trains, and millions go out
with as little thought as was formerly
given to the appropriation of hun
dreds of dollars. In the last cam
paign Judge Parker tried to call the
people back to the blessings Of gov

and pointed out the great e~xtrava-
gence of the Republican administra-
ton. 1t seemed TO produce no effect
because the world WAS going on an
automobile speed and more people
seemed to hin the ole virtue Of
economy had played out. Perhaps en-
forced economy in the money famine
will teach US that the fathers were not
fools and that living too fast must
come to an end.

THE PLACE.

The people Of North Carolina are
duly appreciative of the rivalry be-
tween Charleston and Norfolk for the
honor of being the place where this
State will present the silver service to
the battleship North Carolina. They
presume that there is no harbor lii
North Carolina deep enough TO accom-
modate the great ship in safety. 1t is
true there is no harbor at a great city,
but there is sufficient depts of water at
Cape Lookout for the North Carolina
to find anchor, and the Beaufort and
Morehead City people desire that the
presentation AXE place aboard ship at
Cane Lookout. Small steamers and
launches can take the officials to the
battleship off the North Carolina wa
tiers, and the presentation can be made
,n view of North Carolina soil. The
suggestion is approved by the Govern
or and Congressman and it will soon
be a~scertained whether the suggestion
is practicable. If so! Lookout is the
place. If not. we will be glad to ac-
cept the invitation of one of our neigh
bors.

WAR SCARE STORY OF

WASHINGTON, D. c., October 21.---
(SpeciaD Japanese war scare
story that appeared in the New York
Sun last week under a Washington
date line fell absolutely flat in off,
cial circles here. Officials in the
War and Navy Departments said they
would not deny the article because
it was simply a misinterpretation of
facts and wrong construction plac-
ed upon acts in both departments. Its
alleged disclosures were laughed at.
There has never been any serious
thought of actual war with Japan
among army and navy men, although
there are officers in both services who
would rather welcome such an event
and who believe that some time it
will come, but the most sanguine
among them admit that the some
time" is far in the future. The pur-
pose of the war article printed to-
morally believed here to be
a part of a policy to belittle and dis
credit President Roosevelt, by repre-
senting him as in search of conquest,
impetuous and irresponsible.

a Bold Stem.

To overcome the well-grounded and
reasonable objections of the more intel

pounds, DR.. r. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N.
Y, some time ago, decided to make bold
departure from the usual course pursued
by the makers of put-up medicines for do
nestle use, and so has published broad
cast and openly to the whole world, full
and complete list of all the ingredients
entering insR-the composition OF his widely
celebrated hedicMes. Thus he has taken
his numerg1s patrons and patients into

book it will be- learned that DR.. Pierce's med
