of the issue to be taken care of in

methods of extracting the admins
tration from the embarrassing diem

sion to either increase the rate of in

so as to effect the sale in the ordi-
nary way. empower the Treasurer TO
exchange new bonds for the Old, or
authorize some other means of riding
the State over the difficulty. There
is a suggestion that the State could
get money on railroad bonds the State
owns as security, or effect other
financial arrangements that would

who was here on last Saturday, said
that the action OF the President IN
appointing Mr.. ]. s Basnight post
master at New Bern has proven that
the President has and intends 10
carry out his announced policy. In
making appointments TO secure the
best men and to select only men Of
character and standing who have the
confidence and respect Of the people
of the community In which they
serve.
Ii was pointed out that In this case
a square Issue was drawn. The whole
power Of the referee system In the
State was brought TO bear TO secure
the appointment OF a man for post
master against whose appointment
the overwhelming sentiment OF the
people OF New Bern protested, and
that this protest caused the President
to halt and investigate: that upon in
vestigation he agreed with the senti-
ment OF the community and declared
that he would respect 1t.
Next, the patronage machine at
tempted to have another man ap-
point against whom there were no
objections, but when it developed
that that other man who was to make
the Objectionable person who had
been turned down for postmaster, the
assistant postmaster. again the COM
munity protested. The President
needed the protest, and. 1t is under
stood, agreed that he would not ap-
point any man postmaster who would
make for his assistant a man who
was Objectionable to the community
Thus, again, and In a most en-
phatic manner, did the President
turn down the referee crowd and up
hold and respect the sentiments Of
