Car Shortages in the South.

The West has putwitted the South, 1t ap-
pears, and the cars that should be at hand in
this section to be loaded with cotton and coal
and iron and steel are in the West to be
loaded with grain. The West is exporting
great crops and it's railroads will hold every
possible car until the grain movement Is ac-
complished.
The Southern railroads stand outwitted,
and the prevailing shortage may be felt
more acutely in the South than elsewhere.
True, rental has to be paid detained cars,
but railroad that can secure full loads at
good rates can afford to pay a per diem
penalty
The State railroad commission is helpless.
but the interstate commerce commission is not.
AS a matter of justice 1t should place limit
upon the right to hold from other rail-
roads IL the southern railroads had the use
OF their own cars there would be short
age in the South.
The railroads are urging shippers TO load
and unload promptly and to load them
to capacity. Every railroad is completing as
rapidly as possible all repair work and
locomotives, and perhaps after ali shippers
will not be greatly inconvenenced,--Brm

England had Joined with the continental ma

This action of the English government is
almost an assurance that there will be no war
in the East. and is an action that England
could not have failed to take without mourning
disgrace. There is no excuse for a war In
the Balkans or anywhere else. Turkey, servia
and Montenegro will be compelled to heed the
words TT their more powerful neighbors They

LA TOILETTE FOR WILSON.

ticket
The Wisconsin senator has been in a pre-
dicameut ever since the nominations we're
made President Taft opposes nearly every
thing 10 which La Toilette has committed him
self; Colonel Roosevelt's sincerity is not &C
cepted by him. and Governor Wilson leads
party to which the senator has never belonged
and many of whose principles he cannot ac-

exposure of the colonels shortcomings and
insincerities giving praise to Wilson occasion

tense nature of the senator from Wisconsin
this noncommittal attitude as to whom he was
supporting was extremely disagreeable. and
ii he should declare himself for the Demo-
cratic candidate his action would occasion no
surprise.
The Democratic party will be the gamer by
the accession of La Toilette. He Is strong in
the Northwest, particularly in Wisconsin and
the DaKotas, and his work for Wilson and
Marshall should mean at least one Of these
States for the Democratic nominee and give
him a good chance in another. North Dakota.

I Venturing to disregard an Injunction, We
take the liberty to publish a protest and ac-

Public Opinion column. The writer is
wrong. This newspaper denies nobody access
to its columns when the limitations neces-
Esarily imposed by all newspapers are COM

The article we accused of suppressing
Is not recollected clearly. 1t is fact that
several articles Socialism have been denied
publication--along with articles various
other subjects--for the prosaic reason that
they were too long The average writer for
Socialism seems to lack the faculty of finding
a stopping place and the supreme virtue of
brevity He is natural enthusiast and allows
himself to be swept along in attempts to in
clude everything earth and to cover in
one newspaper article a subject on which
libraries of books have been written without
definite conclusion. No newspaper can give
endless space to any one writer or subject.
Night after night in the Roanoke Times
office pages of Governor Wilson's speeches,
sent by wire or in advance by mail, are thrown
on the floor Sometimes the desperate feat of
dumping columns from T. r. himself is dared
and done. When space and time demand, the
speeches of President Taft omitted or cut
down relentlessly; and editorials pre-.
pared for the Times by It's own editor are
squeezed to few lines or committed solemnly
to the waste-basket, because there is not room

Not in Politics.

AS the present national contest begins to
approach its close, whispers occasionally
heard. and hints occasionally printed that the
Roman Catholic vote of the country is likely
to be cast en- bloc for one or the other of the
three presidential candidates. Sensible peo-
pie really sensible politicians, pay little or
no heed to such gossip. The Catholics of the
United States do not constitute political or
semi political quantity. They divide on pub
lie questions just as do the non-Catholics. and
many great leaders in both political parties.
staunchly allied to their respective organiza-
tons and militant in their adherence to poll
teal cause and conviction, are members of the
Roman Catholic church. AS a matter of truth,
it is likely that none will more keeny resent
the imputation involving the political 'solida-
rity of their church. than the Roman Catholics
themselves News.

Ca,arieston's Song.

Charleston had just begun considering
whether she should go into the market for a
song to advertise herself when word comes
that such a song already exists 1t is waltz
and chorus entitled, "On the Charleston
Boulevard composed by Charlestonian and
to be brought out by large music pub
fishing house in New York. Charleston
already imagines her attractions sung all over
the United States, with such resulting bene-
fits as Mobile is supposed to have received
from Mobile Bay" San Antonio from 1.-THE
Alamo Rag" and San Francisco from more
than one ragtime production of this kind. In
her minds she hears herself sung before
untold thousands of vaudeville deyotees who
in turn will go along the streets and to their
homes singing her again. Tourists will flock
by thousands to the city which has been
so much sung. The production is thoroughly
qualified for popularity, we are assured; there
is nothing high -browed about 1t at all. The
composer is not named but should guess
that the lbretto, at least, was contributed by
Isaac p Cummings the poet-watter of the
Commercial club.-Charlotte Observer.
