HOPING HE WILL GET WELL.

From the Dover State News.
When the alarm in the night strikes
and threatens to suddenly take some es-
teemed friend from our earthly compan-
ionship, our hearts beat faster and our
conscences awake to the sudden realiza-
tion of how much we want him to stay.
This feeling is manifestly true in the
instance of the sudden seizure of Editor
jerome b. Bell of Wilmington, while at
convention in New York in the pur-
suit of his studies and business, with
dangerous illness including severe hem
orrhages Human life hangs by but a
thread and human suffering is with -us
since the days of Adam, even in the lit
tie children who cannot tell us what is
the trouble. The men apparently strong
est suddenly fall as though stricken by
q dart. From accounts of Mr. Bells at
tack, il seems almost a miracle that he
was not then and there taken oil, but
he is graciously spared.
Not for fulsome praise to a fellow
editor, but to inspire our young men TO
"be somebody and stand for something
even though it costs the forfeiture of
/ friendships, money losses, lawsuits aud
nagging criticism, do we say that we
know OF no man who would be a greater
( loss to the State and peninsula than

of twcnty-odd years we unhesitatingly

tion of the entire peninsula while the
harvest is ripe, his open countenance
and his heary laugh inspire his co-work
ers to redouble their efforts. His deep
convictions of right and wrong hive
prompted him to spare not his closest
friends and his trenchant pen may just
as certainly be depended upon to fight
evil, corruption, maladministration and
even sham in society, az can the sun
be counted upon to set in the golden
west tonight.
We can only add that we trust that
his recovcdy will be certain and speedy
and that his Christmas, in spite OF anlic-
tion, will be joyous in the consciousness
of work well done thus far in his jour
ney OF life.

NO MAN CAN NUMBER
N. G. Robbins

No man can number those that stand
Before the great white throne.
Nle faithful ones-now glorihed.
They've heard the glad swell done.'
The oil OF glainess they have had;
A sceptre now they hold,
They're swept triumphant thrc n the
gates,
They walk the streets OF gold
No man cna number those that walk
Beside that river fair.
So numberless the multitude
In white, that gather there;
They do not wear a starless crown,
Oh, no, they're reached the goal;
They're anchored safe beyond the tide
In the sweet home of the soul.
No man can number those that kneel
Down at His -acred feet.
They worshipped Him while here o.
earth
They found their mission sweet.
'Fhey fought life's battle faithfully,
And in the end they won
Eternal glory, now is theirs.
Beyond the setting sun.
No man can numbers; none can tell
The rapture, The delight,
That fills the souls of those that dwell
Where never falls a night.
The leaves perennial there shall bloom,
The flowers all fadeless be;
'Tis then we first begin TO lie,
When safe at home with Thee.
No man can number, for to man
Ii never has been given.
Eternity alone reveals
The grandeur of high Heaven.
The half has never vet been told,
What to US shall be given
When once within the Jasper walls,
And safe at home in Heaven.

Everything now indicates that today the
administrations Currency Reform bill will pass the
United States Senate. The Democratic and Repub-
opponents apparently have abandoned all hope Of
preventing its passage or attaching TO it desired
amendments. Once President Wilson has tri-
umphed his opponents in Congress. The outlook
is that he will receive his Currency Bill holiday
gift and that 1t will make him supremey happy.
Whether its practical operation will promote the hap
piness and well-being of the people is something that
will be revealed later. There thousands of we'll
informed men who incline strongly to the opinion that
it will fail to produce the benefits asserted by
its proponents.

Editorial Opinion
AN ACCUSATION WHICH
CALLS FOR ACTION

AN hNNOoA 1lON " MIN
CALLS FOR ACTION.
From the Salisbury News.
The bomb exploded by Evangelist
Starke before the congregation of the
Methodist Protestant Church in this
city Sunday night last, in which he
made the most severe accusations
against the police regulations of Sails
bury, calls for a searching investigation
on the part OF our Mayor aud Council.
If the facts are true as stated by Mr.
starke, Salisbury should blush with
shame, and if they are not true, then
Mr. Starke has done a great injustice
to our city
If it is true that there are houses of
prostitution in this city doing business
openly, and that. there are "three places
here where women are bought and sold"
and places where whiskey is openly sold,
Salisbury business men and church peo-
pie should rise up in their might and
demand of the police that these places
be cleaned out or else demand of the
Mayor that we have a new police force.
Mr.. Starke dcsignates the places in
number where these things are being
done. He says he has been an eye-wit-
ness to the System" and ne is in duty
bound to give his facts to the Mayor
and put the Mayor in evidence so that
he can order these places raided. II is
passing strange if such things are going
on in this city that a-stranger who has
been here but a few weeks could dis
cover them so openly, when our police
force, who are supposed to be on the
job every day, seem to be IN peaceful
oblivion of the facts.
The News has not printed all the
startling d ngs which Mr.. Starke said
Sunday night. 1t was too much to
throw out to the public all at one time,
but we ha' printed Mr.. Starke's own
words in part, and that is quite enough
to arouse public feeling in this city.
1t has been asserted many times over
by strangers coming to Salisbury that
we chad wide-open town." but our
people never imagined that conditions
approached even in a small degree those
declared to be true by Evangelist
Starke. If e~en Il small part of the
accusations made by Mr.. Starke be true,
it is high time for the states attorney
and the Mayor and police department
TO get busy and have a rounding up OF
the speakeasies and. the bawdy houses.

if they should be successful, the
company will then become possessed
of the city in the fullest of its con-
troll and can then snap their fingers
in defiance at the people.
The facts presented are provable
by the records, and since it has been
demonstrated that the Traction
Company has acquired these Nalu-
able grants from the city for song,
it remains with the people to deter
mine if they are going to make this
corporation more powerful than
it is today.
Here are submitted some of the
promises of the Traction Company
as applied to 21a and cents fare for
children in consideration of con-
cessions and privileges secured from
the city:
First time: Double track on Texas
street.
Second Time: Highland Park Mar
shall street line.
Third time: West End line.
Fiurth time: Lorenz franchise.
After many years without the
granting of the fares it is only
recently hat it been made possible
for children to obtain these fares
which are securable by purchase by
calling at the office of the company
and paying the cash for tickets
which are sold at the rate of 5 for
25c and 20 for Sl.00 and are not
transferable.
The gist of the whole issue is:
Shall the citizens of Shreveport re-
quire from the Traction Company
some compensation equivalent to
their demands?
Every individual, in fairness to
himself and as sense of duty to his
posterity, should insist from this
corporation compensation II
money, as is required in cities
and which are applied to the needs
of the municipality.
As this corporation will not con-
cede this reasonable demand it must
be overwhelmed in defeat at the
election on Tuesday, April 1.

Definition OF a Dollar.

Delhi Progress: We think the fol-
lowing definition of dollar is a
pretty good one: A dollar is what
some men promise to pay for a pa
per. 1t is something a newspaper
man enjoys more in anticipation
than in reality. It is the price of a
days work for some men, and sin
gle nights drunk for others. 1t is
what the housewife often needs and
seldom has. 1t is the hardest thing
to get, and the easiest thing to get
rid of, yet known to man. 1t is a
blessing in small measure and a
curse in many instances. 1t is
mighty and scarce. No man has ever
had more of them than he wanted,
and no man ever will. A dollar is a
snare and delusion, and every one
of us is chasing the delusion.
The Caucasian. (Shreveport, La.) 1900-192?, 1913-03-09

It is believed that were the We
hicular traffic as light as it must be
in the suburban sections, that the
streets graveled will last as long as
many of the streets of the city upon
which thousands of dollars have
been paid.
The strong plea of the citizens in
terested in the crawling of these
streets was that as citizens they had
contributed their full share in taxa
ton towards the paving of the
streets with bitulithic and asphalt
and other material, and therefore
there should follow reciprocation
from those who had experienced the
advantages and the benefit OF good
streets.
The Caucasian. (Shreveport, La.) 1900-192?, 1913-03-09
These Are Hard Times.

Richland Democrat: Yes, these are
hard times. We throw away ashes
and buy soap. We raise dogs and
buy hogs. We grow weeds and buy
vegetables. We build school houses
and send our children away from
home to be educated. We catch fish
with a fOur-dollar rod. And last but
not least, we send our boys out with
a forty-dollar gun and a twenty
dollar dog to hunt ten-cent game.
Yes there are hard times. Whose
fault is it? Don't place all the blame
on the president and the trusts.
