 PROSPERITY

WASHINGTON,-"If the tariff is given prompt attention and this years c. ops are good, there should be re- turn of of the wholesome conditions of 1905 and 19OG,' said James J. Hill, Ecad of the Great Northern Railroad here last night. Tt is best that nor maj conditions should be restored surely rather than swiftly"
 Mir. Hill stated that there were 27Oi- 100 idle freight cars in the country. Yet there are those who ask why car shops are not running full force, and when the railroads are going to order new rolling stock" he contin' ted. "Orders for new cars will be put in when the old ones and idle ones are used. The expeditions en- aCtment of the tariff legislation will help business, but it will not be a cure-all."
 He explained that much depended upon the crops.

Faithless Husbands False Wives.

Richmond News Leader.
Every day the newspapers bring us
stories of faithless husbands and false
wives. 1t is refreshing, therefore, to
read of the beautiful heroism OF Louis
Cohen, of Buffalo, who leaped into
the rapids above Niagara Falls to
save his wife from drowning, secured
a precarious foothold in the water
and held the woman in his arms
more than an hour, clinging to her
body after she had died from shock
and exhaustion. Cohen by his act
represented the impulse and feelings
of the vast majority OF husbands.
The people who are honest and faith
full in their domestic relations do not
get into the newspapers except on
some rare occasions OF tragedy like
this at Niagara. The census figures
make formidable record OF divorce
and frighten us when we consider
them, but they leave nndisturbed
fact that at least nine-tenths OF the
people who marry in this country
live together honestly until death
does them part and have sincere,
devoted, earnest affection for each
other. The man who kills his wife or
deserts her or elopes with another
woman is advertised promptly and
widely. The men ready at any time
to give their own lives TO protect
their wives from death or injury are
so commonplace and general that
nobody thinks of them or hears OF
them.

"Onto the Job"
Kinston Free Press.

kinston Free Press.
At the recent meeting of the Press
Association Rev. Plato Durham, pas
tor of one OF the Methodist churches
in Concord, was called upon to ad-
dress the editors, and this he did in
an excellent manner. In the course
his remarks he referred to the great
facility with which people criticise,
applying the observation to his own
habit OF regarding newspapers at
former period OF his life. Later Mr.:
Durham said, he had himself entered
into the editorial sanctum andfound
out from actual experience just what
a newspaper man is called upon to
confront.
And SO it is with us all. In the
language OF the street we are mot
on to the job" in most cases, except
in our own very narrow sphere OF
action. If we were "onto the other
fellows job in most cases we would
not be so free with our criticism, and
the mantle of charity would envelop
us more completely. Newspapers
are the special object OF popular crit
icism, for everybody knows how to
run a newspapaper and will make a
brilliant success of it-until he tries
it. But when one gets "onto the
job. "opinions will change frequently
with great rapidity. -,
This same principle applies with
no less certainty to the career OF men
in public life. The recent storm OF
criticism OF our Congressman at
Washington for their position taken
regarding a Republican tariff is
case in point. This criticism, We be-
lieve. was unne cessarily severe In Ger
tain quarters; and in most cases crit
icism would have been withheld no
doubt. had the critics been "onto the
Job" of the honest, faithful ana
capable men whom they essayed TO
criticise.
Unless we are "onto the job" wild
criticism not only stultifies US, but Is
grossly unjust to men who are trying
to do the best they can for the interet
OF all concerned. We should allow
public men q considerable degree OF
latitude in dealing with governmental
questions at Washington. Weshould
elect honest, capable and intelligent
men-men imbued with a burning de-
sire to provide the greatest good to
the greatest number, men who nave
been tried and not found wanting; and
when this has been done we should
be slow to condemn. And in any
event we should not condem, In the
case OF which we are now speaking,
except under the compulsion OF very
much better evidence of their faith-
lessness than has yet been produced.

generals and the captains and the
rank and file, uncaring for the cost,
keep the vigil with sleepless eyes and
stout hearts. Never to them cloud
but that portends sunshine-no night
without star.
Unmoved by the shoutings, they
mark their own good way, according
justice to every man as it is given
thin to see justice. In triumph and
in shadow their souls are serene.

He who ascends to mountain-tops shall

The storms and stresses may for the
hour sweep him from his bearings,
but inevitably comes that other hour

Journalism, the journalism that

of him nothing more than justice as
it is exemplified by allegiance to it's
standard. 1t Graves no unearned
! portion, it neither seeks nor demands
a lien upon person or property-it
asks, repeat, for Justice.
Out of the differences and bitter
nesses that have estranged US of the
nation, the South and the Common
wealth. there is emerging another
day. Its effulgence is on the horizon.
1t is the dawn of that hour when the
ambassador of distrust among men

fiderce sprung from certainty of the
