A A ADMISSION.

President Wilson views the result
of last falls election a bit differently
from the way some folks appear to
see it. In one of his New Jersey
speeches recently the President said
he'd had not been taken in by the
face of the returns at all. "The coun-
try did not go Democratic in Novem-
ber," he asserted. 1t was impossible
TO go Republican because it could not
tell which kind of Republican to go.
There are certain things we want
done, the country said, not certain
persons elevated"
That is the bare faced truth of the
matter. The Democratic party won
on a plurality and not on a majority.
To retain the advantage then obtain
ed it will have to behave itself. The
president evidently takes little stock in
shouting and spouting over a great
victory gained by circumstantial evil
dence. He keeps his head clear and
his Judgment sound by looking square
IL at the facts. He may make errors,
but it is certain that he does not pro-
pose to sart out with a very common
partisan blunder. The Republicans
have acquired the habit of talking
overwhelming victories to be sure.
That party had long since concluded
that the opposition to it was in a hope
less state and faced a division un-
daunted. Every Democratic candidate
for the presidency from 1896 to 1908,
inclusive,-and Republican too,Chad
a much larger vote than did Mr.. Viii
son at the last election. Yet dissen-
tons in the ranks of the opposition
gave him the decision. But the Demo-
cratic party needs to have a care if it
would remain in the good graces of
the people. It's fate must depend upon
its record for public service
There is no load that will break a
man down SO quickly and so securely
as a load of revenge" said Secretary
of State William Jenning Bryan at a
banquet In Baltimore last Thursday
night. 'The man who tries to get
even with Others" he went on to say,
has few opportunities of gratifying
: his hatred, but he is all the time cor
roding himself" This is the living
truth. It does not pay to nurse a sore
toe. People should cultivate more the
disposition of forgive and forget"
What is there to be gained in spend
ing valuable time trying to @get even
with somebody"

In a London Club no One Speaks, All
Being Dumb.

London Coasts possession of the
most silent club in the world. It is
called the National Deaf club. and the
moving spirit and president is A. J,
wilson, who, despite the handicap of
Dz1ng deaf and dumb, conducts a most
successful bushes in the city. Of
course, the National Deaf club is a
unique institution. There are no talk
atlVe walters, no electric bells. no
large print notices calling upon mem
bers to be silent in this or that room.
Nearly 200 members use the prem
1ses, in which they can dine and wine
or play cards and billiards whenever
they like. Women are admitted. and
at present form about a third of the
roll. Bells being unnecessary, signs
are resorted to. Thus, when one
presses the bell of the hall door, a
red light appears over the doorway

similar arrangement notifies the wal
ter When his services are required.
Those fortunate persons who can
speak and hear and who have been
privileged to watch the game of bill
Ilards, declare that it is more than a
relief to see a contest where neither
party voices his grievances as he goes
along. There are no criticisms of the
table, the balls or the cue. Every
thing is peaceful and quiet. There
are some remarkable men belonging
to the National Deaf club. One for
example is head of an important rail-
way firm in Smyrna and has under his
control hundreds of men of all ma
tionalities.
Another member has rayeled over

sons, which is usually presided over
by some eminent mute.

bonds FOR ROADS.

-LF#ra9
There Is no question but that the best
proposition any county or township
can adopt Is the issue Of bonds for
highway improvement. And the peo-
people who reject this means of lift
ing themselves out Of the mud are
standing in their own light. 1t is the
fairest way to distribute the expense
of providing a luxury which every en-
lightened community can, and should
enjoy. 1t Is the only proposition that
actually guarantees to rural sections
a system of good roads. But strange
to say, the strongest opposition to the
employment of the bonding method for
road construction too often comes from
the rural population. There al be
only one explanation of the farmers
attitude: They fail to study and inves-
tigate propositions of this kind. 1t 10
frequently the case that they are mis-
led by statements of those who have
axes to grind for political purposes.
Once they come to realize the meal
culable benefits good roads bring, lit
tie difficulty will be experienced in re-
versing their present convictions upon
this question.
There is no discounting the fact that
road building today has the precedence
over any question bearing upon the in
dustrial Development of North Carroll
ma and the South, and every patriotic
citizen ought to study the subject
thoroughly. The fight is on and the
contest wakes warmer all the time.
The General Assembly of this State re-
Gently enacted a measure which pro-
vides that any township may issue not
exceeding $4,000 of bonds when a ma
jority of the qualified votes shall so
determine. A similar privilege is Civ
en- to counties and many of them are
taking advantage of it's provisions.
The following counties have voted to
bond themselves for road Improvement
within a brief period,
Iredll couny, 100000.
Lee county, 100000.
Stokes county, 5000.
Lincoln county, 100000.
Mecklenburg county, 1925 600.
Rutherford county, $25O,0O0.
Mdison county, $500, 900.
Vance county, 5000, 900.
Similar propositions r pending in
a number of other counties and in
numerous townships all ove the State.
The counties of Alamance, Buncombe,
Forsythe, G~uilford, Moore, New Han
over, Orange, Rowan, Richmond, Will
son and others adopted the bond plan
for highway construction long ago and
are congratulating themselves upon
their good fortune in having taken a
wise step at the right time. Let all
other progressive counties ego and do
likewise"

THURSDAY. MAY 10Th, 1913.
WE WERE MISTAKEN.

In it's issue of March 9Th, discussing
the prospects of an amicable adjust
ment of the controversy relating to ap-
earent freight rate discrimination
against North Carolina shippers this
paper carried the following editorial
paragraph expressing the opinion
that a long cherished hope was about
to be realized: "Freight-rate discrim-
fnation is soon to end in North Carroll
no without invoking coercive legisla-
ton. The railroads have "done the
handsome" by offering a solution of
the matter on their own volition~and
the State will accept. Those who are
c~onversant with the proposition ex-
press themselves as being positive that
substantial results will be accomplish
ed for the people when the railroads
put their agreement into effect. 1t is
understood that North Carolina cities
will share all the advantages, in rates
heretofore enjoyed by their sisters
across the Virginia border, a hope
they have cherished for many years."
This statement was based upon a
reported agreement between the State
and the railroads, held in the Govern
or's Office during the session of the
legislature, when the carriers indicated
a willingness to grant the relief de-
sired. But a different situation pre-
sents itself now. After repeated con-
ferences between representatives of
the State and the transportation COM
panies, since the General Assembly adj
journed, all hope of ar agreement on
any sort of equitable basis has been
abandoned. The railroad rate-makers
and their spokesman have listened pa
tiently to the demands of Governor
Craig and his Legislative commission,
but took none of their suggestions Sc
riously. The desire they expressed for
an immediate adjustment of existing
evils six weeks ago appears to lave
been displaced with an obstinate de-
termination to do nothing. Instead Of
counting the friendship of the people
OF North Carolina, and their chief
executive, the carriers now show a
positive inclination to heap insult upon
injury in bidding defiance to demands
for a square deal, ma nto man.
The public is reminded once aagin,
that fair promises butter no pars-
inps." The rate commission missed
its opportunity when it failed to nail
down the proposition made by the rail-
roads at the first conference last
March. AS the matter now appears to
a casual observer, the State-and its
commission-are between the devil
and the deep blue sea-" The people, OF
course, will support, Governor Craig in
whatever steps he may take to compel
a fair settlement of the controversy
The extent of his authority in the
premises, however, may be circum-
scribed. But it does seem that the
wers of the State should command
ncient respect to warrant decent
treatment for her citizens by railroad
companies and kindred institutions,
We shall see what we shall see.

PosTMAsTERs TO BE DEMOCRATS
Postmaster General BurlesOn Plans
for Ousting Republicans From
FOurth-C Class Post Offices.

Washington, D. c., Especial. after
several conferences with Postmaster
General Burleson, Representative
Goodwin said that he did not have the
slightest doubt that every fourth-class
postofice in the country would be fill
ed by Democrats when the Postofice
Department finally goes through with
the Encouragement of the Postal ser
vice.
Mr.. Goodwin said that Postmaster
General Burleson told him that while
some kind of an examination would
be held for fourth-class postmasters,
that the elimination would be so easy
that no man who could read and write
would fail to pass the examination.
81 am in favor of filing every fourth
class postoffice in the United States
with Democrats, said Mr.. Goodwin. IF
filing thesel offices with Democrats
will place me in the class of the 'spoils
man then 1 am a 'spoils man of the
rankest sort"
Mr.. Goodwin said if the Postmaster
General had left the slightest doubt
in mind about busting the Republican
fo~urth-class postmasters he would not
have given out the above interview.
IL never was more confident of any
thing than l am that these Republi-
cans will be ousted when the final test
comes" said Mr.. Goodwin. Mr.. God
win said he was opposed to the plan
of holding any kind of examinations
for the fourth-cIass offices, but after
going over the proposed plan with Mr..
Burleson he was perfectly satisfied
that the Offices you'd be filed by Dem
ocrats, regardless of the examination.
