FLAG DAY.

The plan to make Flag Day a ma
uomaI holiday has much merit and
will doubtless secure wide support,
the large number
Of national holidays now on the cal
endar which various public and semi
public Institutions find it necessary
to celebrate by closing up shop, there
is good, reason why Flag Day should
be admitted to the list.
Even without this prestige Flag
Day has made considerable progress
during the last few years and has
come to command wide attention
And it should. The history of the A
merican Flag is an interesting his
tory; its cOIors are beautiful and it
is emblematic of the best patriot
ism and the best citizenship this coun
try affords Whether Flag Day bel
comes a national holiday or not, it
is entitled to a steadily increasing
affection and observance.

APRIL 9TH FIXED

A. B. BeUer, clerk of the circuit
court, has received letter from M.
Anthoni, naturalization examiner,
stating that the hearing of applica-
tions for citizenship must be pestpon
ed until after the April election. The
statutes prohibit naturalization with
in 80 days prior to a general election
1t appears that the United States gov
eminent considers all elections, ex-
cspt primary elections, general cleo
lions in relation to the naturalfza-
ton proceedings. Tuesday, April
s, Will probably be the day for hear
ing the appi cations for citizenship.

THE WATER QUESTION.

Something must be done regard
| ing the city water" is statement
that is heard quite often just at this
time. One of the reasons for a
shortage of water is that great
many people who use water, and do
not have meters, are allowing the
water to run through the taps to pre-
vent freezing. There is a great waste
of water caused by just that alone
and it may surprise the people to
know that more water has been and
is being pumped during this winter
than during last summer. Fifty me-
tiers have been installed during the
last three months, 100 meters have
been ordered and will be installed and
another 100 meters, will be ordered
Immediately.
In an interview with Mayor Cohen
the fore part of the week, he stated
that last summer sixteen points were
driven at the corner of 18th and
Oak street and arrangements, made
to connect them up in case of a short
age of water, but the abundant rain
fall gave plenty of water and it was
not necessary to use this auxiliary
supply of water. No arrangements
We're made for using this water dur
ing the winter. However, this Will be
connected UP and with other sources
of supply which will be obtained,
the mayor assures the people that
there will be water enough to supply
the city of Grand Rapids and keep
pace with the growth of the city dur
ing the next five years. The may
or is determined to give the city
good drinking water

preclate our own resources and nat

to others that they may appreciate
them also. Sydney Smith tells us
that Reputation is one of the things

editorial writer of this country has
said that Reputation is repitition. If
we would possess the reputation of

America we must continue to repeat
| ito advertise it Advertising is one
OF the things that cannot be dispens-
ed with by the State, community, city,
railway or any other business or
ganization. All must advertise unless
they are willing to retrograde. De-
terioration is already written upon any
enterprise that disregards the value
OF advertising Switzerland leads the
world in advertising her natural re-
sources, and has made it's people rich
by making four season resort of

hotels and popular forms of amuse-
ment have appealed to the tourist
population of the world and they go
there for these conditions which have
been brought about by the people them
selves, combined with the scenic beau
ty of the country. The Land of the
Sky possesses more scenic beauty and
finer climate than does Switzerland
When our people create the other con-
ditions then will our people become
rich in the "coin of the realm" as
we'll as add pleasure to life. A bond
issue of one, two or three million
dollars by those counties comprising
| the Greater Western North Carolina
Association expended in building a
| fine system of roads throughout the
mountains of these counties would
start the erection of large number
Of fine tourists hotels that would be
completed along with the completion
Of the roads constructed under the
supervision of competent road en-
gineers, that would bring such flood
Of auto and other tourists into our
midst that would almost take our
breath away and tax our resources to

cracking greenbacks that would make
this section prosper beyond our

To Bar Negro As Soldier.

American soldier is topic slated for
consideration when the conference OF
the ranking officers of the United

Some officers favoring the plan are

in the Philippines the natives are said
to resent the appearance among them
of the black troopers and that there
are signs of dissatisfaction in Hawaii,
owing to the fact that the 18th infan-
try, negro organization, has been
ordered to the islands to form a per-

in their. behalf, pointing to their re-

STATE FACING DEFICIT
Is Said That Treasurer Needs $780, 900
to Meet Appropriations for Various

Is Said That Treasurer Needs $3.50, 900
to Meet Appropriations for Various
Purposes.
Raleigh, (SpeciaD -The work Of the
legislative committee in auditing the
books of the state treasury, the state
auditor and the department of ineur-
ance is greatly emphasizing the ne
cessity of prompt and very decided
action on the part of the incoming
legislature in dealing with the finan-
cial conditions in the state treasury.
IL is clearly evident now that the de-
felt this January 1st will be at least
$725, 900 and may reach $750,000 and It
is predicted that if there are not
other sources of revenue for the state
found and very decided increase pro-
vided in revenue in addition to the
business in the state and the deficit
natural increase incient to growth of
two years hence will show up some
thing like $1,500,000. The recommen-
dations of State Treasurer B. r. Lacy
are being awaited with keen interest
as it is expected that he will have
some important suggestions to make
as to revenue and machinery act
changes. Governor Kitchin and Gov
ernor-elect Craig will also doubtless
have recommendations that will be
given great by the legislators. Insis-
lance is being made that the very best
fiancies that can be picked up in the
legislature should be put on the in
nance committee Immediately upon
the converting of the legislature and
that this committee should get right
to work and not leave this revenue
and machinery act construction to the
last rush days of the Legislature
as is all too often the case.
