The lobby investga ton has revealed to the people the
fact that there is always money at work to defeat meas
ures which are for the interest of the masses. and which
is ever busy in order to give more favors to the special
interests. President Wilson rendered the greatest kind Of
a service TO the people when he declared that an "insidi-
Gus lobby" was at work in Washington.

The latter part Of this week will see in Raleigh a great
gathering Of the farmers of North Carolina, as well as of
the housewives Of the State, who assemble to study and to
discuss methods and plans for the farms and for the homes.
The in8easing interest which the farmers of North Caro-
lima are showing in the farmers institutes throughout the
State, IS a sign that we are going to have an advance in
agricultural interests. for it is with the farmers themselves
that this must start, and the better informed the farmers
the better for the farms and for all North Carolina. The
interest shown in the farmers institutes is being dupl-
ca ted IN the interest shown in the coming NEE ting Of
farmers in Raleigh, and the sessions are expected to be Of
great value.
The housewives of North Carolina are to have a meeting
at the same time, and the session this year is expected to
be the largest held. The care of the home is an important
matter in all States and in every State, and the instruction
in the arts OF the housewife to be given at the meetings
here this week is to be such as to be of value to every
home in North Carolina.
Raleigh in advance extends the glad hand to the farm
ers and to the housewives of North Carolina. They are
gwen welcome to the city and to the best in it. Nav
their sessions help in the cause OF progress in North
Carolina.
Good roads are linked up with the question of the best
school advantages in the rural districts, and the farmers
who want their children to have the best opportunities
tor education will be WISE IN seeing that good roads are
constructed so that the boys and girls in the country can
have easy access to the schools. The slogan for North
Carolina is: Good Roads, Good Schools and the Best"
The counties of North Carolina which are without spe-
c1al acts to secure good roads do not wait to have s,,ch
laws enacted by the Legislature. The General Assembly
Of 1913 in a State wide act provided that by townships
bonds could be voted in any county Of the State. All
that is necessary to have an election on the subject is
for the people Of the township to petition the county
commissioners for an election and then vote the bonds
That is a law which provides for Quick action.
North Carolina in its seashore ana. mountain resor,s
offers attractions to all the world. and these are grou;no
in favor. The Lenoir News says: With the mountain
resorts of Western North Carolina running over with e,u
ner visitors it would seem that our splendid mountain
are beginning to come into their own, There is M sra.
