Experienced newspaper men Of to-
day are easily able to appreciate the
complaint that the late Capt. Grist
made back in the SOS as to how influ-
entail politicians sought to co-erce or
crush him by a threat to withdraw
columns Back in those old days the
official advertising was the principal
source of support of all the country
papers, and the politicians who sought
to control the papers by means OF
such advertising were quite numer-
Gus. Nowadays such advertising is
still important; but it is not so vital.
The breed Of politicians complained of
is not yet extinct, it is true; but there
is more widespread recognition Of the
commercial value Of advertising ac-
cording to the public esteem in which
a newspaper is held as evidenced b.
it's character, circulation and general
popularity, and the public is hardly
less quick to catch on to things OF
this kind than the publisher himself.
In the old days one of the principal
considerations of the advertiser in a
country newspaper was to help IL
along; but in these days of wider in
telligence the principal consideration
of the advertiser is to help himself
and his business along with the pub
lie. Many official and legal advertise
ments as well as some commercial ad-
vertisements, are still placed with a
view to influencing the policy of
newspaper; but it is quite obvious
that a newspaper that would yield to
such influence is as little deserving OF
public confidence as the people who
would try to make use Of such influ-

As 10 Registration.

There has been more or less ques-
ton as to whether the county board OF
supervisors Of registration has right
to keep it's books open on days other
than those prescribed by law. or to
issue certificates during hours other
than those named.
Section 202 of the Civil Code says:
After each general election
the registration books shall be opened
for the registration Of electors entitled
to registration under the constitution,
on the first Monday in each month, at
the court house, until thirty days pre-
ceeding the general election, when the
same shall be closed until said general
election shall have taken place" Sec
tion 202 says: The said
boards Of registration shall keep their
Offices open on the days required by
law from nine o'clock in the forenoon
until five o'clock in the afternoon"
There is a good deal Of the registra-
ton law and much Of 1t appears to be
more or less involved; but we see alb
solutely nothing in any part Of 1t that
would seem to prevent a majority OF
the registration board issuing perfect
" valid certificates whenever or
wherever it desires, except within
period of thirty days Immediately
proceeding a general state or county
election, provided of course, it is will
ing to pay it's own expenses.
With reference to this matter OF
voting, we are firm believers in the
proposition that every individual who
is entitled to be registered under the
Constitution should be registered. and
be in a position to vote. We believe
that the possession Of registration
certificate, or at least the presentation
of satisfactory evidence of constitu-
tional eligibility should be a pre-re'
ouisite to voting in the primaries; but
we do not want to deny the right OF
anv eligible individual to vote, unless
it can be clearly shown that the fall
ure of such individual to qualify MIN
self was the result Of deliberate indif'
erence and neglect.
There are large numbers of broad
minded citizens over the state who
find it impracticable to get into theil
county seats on salesdays, and while
we think that these people shoule
spare no efforts under the existing
machinery to qualify themselves fol
voting. where it is impracticable FOL
them to do so, they should be giver
still better facilities.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1918.

That is an interesting statement
that the Washington correspondent Of
the Charlotte Observer quotes Sena-
tor Simmons as making. If the sena-
tor had talked that way few years
back, he would have been roundly de-
nounced as an irresponsible dema-
rogue. There are still those who will
claim that his utterances are some
what incendiary. We are inclined to
think he Is speaking pretty nearly the
plain truth.
