BIJOU THEATRE WE'LL PATRO.

The Bijou theatre gave its opening
entertainment Saturday evening and

moving pictures were good. Smith

things for which they have not time The result is,
thousands of young women train for this work in
hundreds of business colleges all the United
States.
| The pay for this kind of work depends on the
person. The chances tor advancement could not
be better. The private secretary of Rockefeller,
lady, receives ten thousand dollars per year. In
New York City SIS, 600, 900 per year paid
to lady stenographers. The famous Sears-Roe-
buck catalog house employ six hundred lady
stenographers Montgomery-Ward catalog house
employ four hundred The international Stock
Food Co. of Minneapolis one hundred forty eight
1t is impossible to secure enough young men.
They must have young and thousands of
them. The requirements of work of this kind is the
ability to write and read short hand, good Eng
lish, be good speler and dress neatly and quietly.
| young who do these things and is
determined to succeed will find in the field of bust

Newspaper Postage.
Raleigh Times.

RalelSn lines.
The Wilmington Star does not
think that the pOstoffice department
can legally enforce it's ruling that "a
weekly paper cannot send papers to
subscribers at the usual rate Of post
age where the subscriber owes for
more than one year, semi-weeklies
longer than nine months; tri-weeklies,
six months: dailies, three months;
bi-monthlies, six months; monthlies,
four months; quarterlies, months"
The Star suspects that ''the real
intent of the new regulation is to ex-
clude from the mails, at the one cent
pound rate, advertising sheets with
no bona fide subscribers and the
numerous fake publications that
now circulate throughout the coun-
try,' and believes that "while the
Government has the right to fix the
rate OF postage on newspapers, it
has no right to make distinction
between bona fide subscribers who
have, and those who have not paid
their subscription in advance. The
postOtfice department cannot legally
enforce a rule that would deprive the
owners OF the right to sell sheir
goods either for cash or on credit"
The Star states the matter clearly.
Like our Wilmington contemporary,
we do not see how the pOstottice de-
partment can require publishers to
sell their papers on credit if they so
desire. We do not believe this ruling
will hold.

Keep Yoar Eye on the Lighthouse

Many a ship has gone to tie bot

There is O certain conser 7atism in

servatism has been the lighthouse

will think the railroad commOtion
he got into was as agyser, compared
with the storm that will rage through
out the STATE.
The people may be for prohibition,
or they may not, at any rate give
them an opp ortunity to say what
they want, and their representatives
will not be slow to give it to them,
but do not take advantage OF an
extraordinary session of the Legisla-
ture called for one purpose, to serve
another.
North Carolina is not too demo-
cratic to lose sight OF the peoples
rights, and you may rest assured
the people will not be slow to resent
any encroachment on their POLITICAL

A Monstrous Proposition.

If the passenger rate fixed year
ago is too low and has resulted in
harm to the railroads, the fault lies
wholly with the State. 1t is difficult
to see on WI 1T grounds these roads
should be = to bear any part OF
the expense ryolved in the correction
OF such a mistake. To put the ques-
ton plainly, should the railroads be
required to pay for justice? That
they are willing dol't change the
fact Should the State be willing?
Let there be no connection, however
remote, between the acts OF the
Legislature and the money of any in
terested corporation. Ii
the Legislature authorizes this COM
promise, takes up no other matter of
legislation, turns its back upon the
monstrous proposition to tax the
railroads with part Of the cost OF

The State Would Stand Naked and
Ashamed.
Greensboro Industrial News.

Greensboro Industrial News.
In the name OF the honorable, self
respecting citizenship OF this COM
monwealth, we earnestly protest
against the proposed ratification by
legislative enactment, of the Glenn
Railroad compromise. In the light
of recent events it is quite too much
to hope that the Governor OF this
State will grasp the import OF what
he will doubtless regard as most
delicate, not to say supercillIOus.
point OF ethics, but we submit that
the shameless proposal that the rail-
road companies must defray the ex-
penses incurred in assembling the
legislature, in order to allow the
politicians and chronic railroad bait
ers to side-step the charge OF impos-
ing the severe tax upon the State, is
little short of mOnstrOus.
The act of the last Legislature
in this passenger rate matter, was
lust, or it was unjust. BythOnsands
of people the very act OF calling the
Legisla ture into extraordinary SEES
sion, to repeal this rate law, is looked
upon as an acknowledgment OF the
railroad claim that the rate was not
fairly remunerative, and therefore
confiscatory. This being SO, then
the duty OF the Legislature, to right
this great wrong, is obvious. NTH
an Indignation which we feel to he
righteous, we spurn the hypothesis
that the honest body OF our citizen
ship cannot be moved to an act OF
obvious Justice, save through
money consideration. This railroad
money, which it is proposed to pay
to members of the Legislature, to
right self-acknowledged wrong,
would, literally and metap' ically
speaking, fairly burn in the Ockets
OF every member of the Legislature
possessed of normally developed
sense of self-respect, and q 'ir com
| prehension OF the eternal Nr:ities and
unities-the capacity to 1rasp the
| fundamentals OF what is proper and
just.
With the thousands of dollars OF
this railroad money in the pockets of
our accredited representatives. money
which the railroads have no moral,
if legal right, to divert to snch Il
purpose Gor the people would ulti-
mately have to pay the freight), we,
as State, would stand before the
world naked and ASHAMED, SILICON
victed of the charge of assininity, ii
not OF bald venality. And SO, once
more. with all political considera-
| tions apart, and Jealous only of the
good name of an honorable citizen
ship, we lodge an earnest protest
against this proposed Legislative
sanction of compromise that can
neither be defended in good business,
nor good morals, and which, in the
very nature of the case would have
| the effect Of placing the good people
of this State in the position OF re-
ceiving, with outstretch-d and itch
| ing palms, Il large sum OF money for
the performance of an act of timely
and simple justice, and coincidently
place legislators, not voluntary par
ties to he compromise" i'll the po
