SOME PAID WAY OUT
Citizens of United States
Subjected to Insults in
Nicaragua.
From Commercial Traveller
Declares Americans Are Impris-
Oned by Zelaya When They
Refuse to Contribute.

New Orleans, Nov. PA cable from
Panama today says that Edgar S. Har-
ris, of Columbus, O., ali American
commercial traveller, who has been
touring Central America, declares that
several Americans are in Jail at Mana
qua and other places in Nicaragua,
having been arrested on orders from
Zelaya.
Every American in business in Mica
ragua who refused to contribute to the
war fund levied by Zelaya was
promptly arrested and thrown into
prison, Harris says. A few Ameri-
cans who were arrested bought their
way out of jail by paying the price
demanded A number are still held
incommunicado.
Harris says it is unsafe for an
American to appear in the section of
Nicaragua controlled by Zelaya. He
was himself subjected to jibes and in
suits at Corinto, and left the place on
the first available steamer.

ROOT At A BANQUET
Takes Strong Stand For
State Control of Local
Affairs.
Root Champions the Rights of States
and Warns Against Continued
Federal Capitalization of
Dnror
Power.

New York, Nov. Ex-senator Elihu
Root, addressing 800 members and
guests of the National Civic Fedora
ton at the banquet in the Hotel Astor
tonight, warned against the tendency
for the Capitalization of power in the
hands of the Federal government.
This country is too great, said the
Senator, it's interests too complicated.
and it's daily affairs of too great q
range to be under the purview and
regulation of the central government
n Washington.
Let the government exercise it's
constitutional powers to the fullest
limit" said Senator Root in closing,
but do not let us in our anxiety for
efficiency cast away, break down, re-
ject those limits which are to us the
control Of our homes, of our own do
nestle affairs, and of our local gov
ernments.'
The senator's strong stand in favor
of state control of state affairs was
one of two events of moment in the
after-dinner interlude of the evening

ALDRICH'S PLATFORM.

Senator Aldrich has enlarged his
national issues. Having served sthC
interests by pushing through tariff
that suits them and no one elses he
now wants to reduce pensions ano
other appropriations. He claims the
national expenses can be reduced 70
per cent. and greater efficiency be Sc
cured at the same time.
Then he wants sound currency
and an efficient banking system. He
pronounces the present system a
hodge-podge, and he desires to substi
tute for it scientific banking ana
currency system, the keynote Of which
would be a central bank Of issue with
a Wall street string attached to it. He
has not converted many to his central
bank scheme.
And then, of course, he wants modi-
f1cations of the interstate commerce
and Sherman antitrust statutes. Ali
who serve the interests naturally want
to take the starch out of the laws that
restrict the operations of promoters
and spectators. 1t is not easy to see
just how the present laws can be mod
flied without giving the monopolistiC
trusts more room to operate in. At
torney-Genera1 Wickersham thinks
the true remedy lies in a Federal in
corporation law. A law of that nature

trusts would not be repellant to the
people, but it would have to be Law
that had no loopholes in it.

Thursday was field day" for the
Junior Order of this city at Seven
Sprin.s, where the lodge went in a
body to confer the prize Bible and
United States flag offered by them as a
I,T1-e under the auspices of the county
School Betterment Association. and
won by the high school of that town.
The elaborate program as previous
ly published in The Argus was carried
out to the letter, and great gather
ing of neighborhood people partici-
pated in the interesting and enthusiast
tic exercises.
The musical and literary program
by the pupils of the school was espe-
clally meritorious and reflected high
credit alike on the pupils and the fac
ulty.
The address of presentation of the
Bible and the flag was delivered by
Hon. Geo. E. Hood, of this city, him
self an earnest and jealous member
OF the Juniors whom they delight to
honor and are proud to follow. 1t is
needless to say that his address was
couched In eloquent language and
breathed the educational, moral, patri-
otic and progressive spirit of the Juc
ior Order, and was enthusiastically re-
ceived by the great concourse who
heard him.
The Bible and the flag were accept
ed on behalf of the school by it's eff
c1ent and aggressive principal, Prof.
w. J. Sloan, whose eloquence of die
ton and beauty of thought charmed
and electrified his great audience and
drew him closer than ever to the

themselves fortunate indeed in having

DEATH BY BLACK DAMP

Pathetic Entries in Diaries Tell How

Retreating Before Fire

and Water.

Cherry, Ill, Nov. 25.-Bodies of 16S
miners were found in the lower level
of the St. Paul mine yesterday, and II
is now believed all except a score OF
the missing men have been accounted
for.
The bodies were found in a tangled
mass 500 feet from the main shaft, on
an elevated surface, where they had
retreated before the advancing water
and fatal black damp. They died after
2 struggle that may have continued
for two days.
Messages scrawled on wood and the
natural slate cropping from the walls
placed the number of dead at 168. One
message read:
eve are all here to die together"
This is accepted by mine officials
as indicating that many men whose
escape from the second vein had been
cut off by fire had descended to the
lowest level and that fewer than a
dozen bodies will be found in other
sections of the mine.
To take out the bodies a skill has
been brought from the Illinois river
and will be lowered $50 feet to the
vein in which the bodies were found.
It will be rowed across the four feet
of water in the vein to the spot where
the bodies lie and they will be trans
ported to the main shaft for removal.

THE HEREDITARY CHAMBER.

That the hereditary chamber in the
defiance at the popular branch is fully
determined. The Lords admit they
nave no right to amend a finance bill
but they claim a right to throw out
makes the issue.
How Premier Asquith will meet it is
not yet decided. He may repass the
bill in the House of Commons, and
then summons the Lords to defeat 1t
a second time. He mazsd.sk the Kins
for permission to appoint enough lib
eral peers to overcome the three
fourths majority in the House of Lords
that now confronts him. This plan
mas been threatened, but never ap-
piled, because the hereditary chamber
usually surrenders in order to avoid
this obnoxious remedy. The premier
may, however, accept the challenge OF
the House Of Lords, and appeal to the
country, the general election to be
held soon after the Christmas holi-
days. This is the course that will
probably be adopted, for the issue is
distinct and unavoidable. 1t is con-
stitutional and historic, and Great
Britain will be torn up over it very
much as Alabama today is over The
constitutional prohibition proposition
The issue is complicated by new
taxes and old age pensions and Dread
r,oughts. The budget increases license
duties heavily and puts new burdens
On the landowners, Dreadnoughts ar5
to be built and old-age pensions cal
for increasing sums. The Tories viii
endeavor to say that the increased
sums needed should be raised in the
customs houses-in other words, tha
articles of necessity should be taxed
even bread, rather than increase tht
taxes on land. The Tories say there
is too much socialism in the proposals
Of the Liberals, while the Liberals sa!
It is better to tax the landlords thai
to tax the bread of the people.
These questions will be raised AM
discussed, but after all the real issu'

Commons the exclusive right to franz

Telephone Manners.

When using the phone and someone
answers you, do not shout, who is
that?" Give your own name first, then
tell to whom you wish to speak, thus,
'"This is A. B. speaking. I wish to
speak to- c. D. if you please
It sounds very unpleasant, not to
say rude, to have someone shout, Who
is that?" when he has not told his own
name. If anyone treats you that way
it is well to reply to him by saying
whom do you want, please? What
right has anyone to demand youl
name till he has given his own?

FOB PRIVILEGE OF SERVING.
The Great Opportunity Offered for
Constructive and Enduring Work.

The best thing to be thankful for is
the privilege of service-the opportu-
nifty to find our resource, not in our
own little interests, but in the larger
interests of the community, the state
the race. A man who finds happiness
only in his own success and his own
pleasures may at any time become a
bankrupt and a pauper, but the man
whose interest is in promoting the
larger happiness of his fellows has
fallen heir to the joyousness of the
whole world, treasure that never
fails. Let us be thankful for this
privilege, and let us rejoice that in
the great work of building up North
Carolina and the South-her agricul-
ture, her commerce, her educational
opportunities, her moral strength, etc.
we have in our generation the
greatest opportunity the world offers
for constructive and enduring work,
work in which every one has a part
the sum total of whose life is in any
way making the world better, happier
and more fruitful.
