THE sLIGHTED SIMPLE WORD

From the St. Louis Times.
 The latest and greatest of marine dis asters has served to demonstrate that one of the worlds needs Is simple writ ing. and men who can write simply.
 Men or women who can write simply are like individuals who are simple in their characters; they invariably draw about them throngs cf genuine admirers. But simplicity. which should be one or commonest of virtues Is almost the rarest.
 Those who have tried to describe the sinking of the Titanic have succeeded, In general, in emphasizing the need and value of simple English. The descrip- tions have been labored and made irk some by straining after effect.

ALL PHONES NOW OWNED BY
NATION.

Great Britain Takes Over All the
Telephones in the Country-This
Means Better Service at Lower
Cost.
London, Jan. AT the stroke of
midnight ushering in 1912, the Brit
ish Government took formal posses
sion of the 100000 telephones own
ed by the National Telephone Com
pany, and thereby assumed actual
operation of all public telephones in
the United Kingdom. The $4,000
employees of the National Telephone
Company will hereafter be govern
ment employees, protected by civil
service against the loss OF positions
and enjoying the rights of all other
post-office department employees TO
pensions, sick benefits and annual
vacations.
This breaks up the private tele-
phone monopoly and equips the Gov
eminent Postal Service with tele-
phones as we'll as tbs telegraph. This
means better service at lower cost.
Already the government telephones
are being installed in private houses
in London, giving subscribers the
benefit of a single party wire for
only $25 year. Subscribers at this
rate, unlike New York, Chicago, and
other cities, are entitled to call any
other subscriber in an area embrac-
ing a population of over 100000.
The price, which the Government
will pay for the old company's prop
erty, is not yet determined. 1t is
being fixed by the commission who
are taking an inventory and will base
that decision on the actual value of
the property.

Boy Killed While on Hunt Christmas
Day.

News was received at New Bern Of
a horrible accident which occurred
near Maysville on Christmas day and
which has cast pail Of gloom over
that entire community. Early in the
day the young son Of Fred Nelson,
who lives in that locality, and who
has charge of Munger & Benefits in
terests there, took his shotgun and
started off alone for a hunt. The
hours sped by and he failed to put
in his appearance. His father, be-
coming alarmed, secured assistance,
and search was made. After some
considerable time his body was found
the entire load of shot from the gun
which he carried having entered
the upper part of his body, which
must have killed him almost instant
ly. 1t is supposed that the lad was
carrying the weapon by the barrel
and that a protecting twig caught the
hammer and caused it to fire.

TRIED TO PLEASE THE BOSSES.
That's Why the Partisan Democrats
HOw1ed Down Professor Coon
They Don't Want the People to
Elect School Officials.


Statesville Landmark, Democratic
The county superintendent, or
teachers, or whoever it was that in
terrupted Mr.. Charles L. Coon, Presi-
dent of the Teachers Assembly, in
Raleigh Tuesday night, so that he
could not conclude his address, dis
credited the teachers of the State.
1t is a nice state of affairs indeed
when an educator of the standing
of Mr.. Coon, who is now superinten-
dent of the Wilson graded schools
and has occupied other important po-
sitions in the educational work of
the State, is not permitted to express
his sentiment before an Organization
which had elected him President
Such an incident would have dis
credited political meeting, and what
shall be said of gathering of educa-
tors, supposed to set an example in
manners and culture, that INDUCES
in such methods.
The Landmark by no means en-
dorses all Mr.. Coon said, but his
criticisms in some respects were we'll
founded For instance, the sugges-
ton that new method should be
employed to elect members of the
County Board of Education and
County Superintendent; to remove
these from political influence, is a
point we'll taken. Anybody who knows
the facts knows that men are often
made members of County Board of
Education and made County Superin-
tendents of Schools without any re-
| gard whatever to their fitness for
these positions, but purely as a mat
ter of political favoritism; and very
often the schools have been dam
aged and as a consequence the well
fare of the children jeopardized by
! incompetent management under such
methods. Fitness and not politics or
anything but fitness, should be at all
times the standard in the administra-
ton of school affairs.
But this is by the way. The Land
mark simply desires to go on record
as expressing its indignation that a
crowd Of so-called educators in North
Carolina have made public and dis
graceful exhibition of their littleness
and narrowness by refusing one of
their own number and one whom
they have honored by electing him
President of the State organization
OF teachers, the privilege to express
his views
