A TAFTITE RESIGNS.

ciaI Robe Aside.

Washington, Observation-Disclosures

of state, has resigned that office and
insisted upon immediate acceptance of
the resignation because. of his radical
difference of opinion "a ne 1dmi!iS-
tration regarding it's Chinese policies.
President Wilson Immediately ac-
cepted the resignation.
MI. Wilson, like all assistant secre-
taries in the various departments, ten
dered his resignation as a matter of
form t o President Wilson directly upon
the latter's assumption of Office. Mr..
Wilson was. requested to continue in
his place unSil it should be convenient
for the President to name his success
sor. He consented to do SO to accom-
modate Secretary Bryan in his desire
70 make his present visit to Lincoln,
Neb.
The issue of the statement from the
White House defining the administra-
tons attitude Ggarding the Chinese
loan negotiations is believed to have
been regarded by Assistant Secretary
Wilson as suf1cieht to justify him in
requesting to be relieved at once from
duty. =
After ~telegraphic notice to Secretary
Bryan of his Intentions, Mr.. Wilson,
late yesterday afternoon. dispatched a
note to the White House terminating
his own service, and President Wilson.

state during Secretary Bryan's pres
ent absence.
President Wilson replied as follows:
my Dear Sir:
."Allow me to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of your letter of yesterday n

mission, Representative E. ]. Justice,
of Guilford; Senator w. B. Council. of
Catawba, and n. B Broughton, OF

given IN the handsome club rooms of
the Country club and the object was to
exhibit to these men the appreciation
of a community for the great service
which they have rendered the entire
state by their joint rates for the state.
A. W. McAlister, who acted as toast
master for the evening, declared the
work of the gentlemen who sat as

Some Legislators Tried to Make Sport
Of Important Measure.


When the house of the legislature
finally passed the bill to allow women
to become members of school commit
tees and school boards, it did so very
ungraciously. Representative Fergu-
son offered an amendment which pro-
vided that women eligibles must be 33
years old, pay poll tax, have been I'M
successful candidates for matrimony
is years and have a decided convic-
ton of mans general bad judgment.
Some of them have that condition all
right. Another amendment by a mem
Der whose, name is not recalled stipu-
lated that no married oma shall hold
any of. these offices who has children
unless she has first provided a lookup
of suitable security for her own chill
dren while she is out trying to manage
other peoples children.
AS a matter of fact if the women,
generally speaking, didn't look after
the children they would receive no at
tention. Some day the sisters may
have a chance at the mere men who
make remarks like that, and if they do
it will be more toIerable for Sodom
and GQmorrah in the day of judgment
than for the men aforesaid.--States-

Congressman Page Sees a Way to
Name Democratic Applicants.
Congressman Page, like all the 9TH
er democratic congressman, is not find
ing it easy to get jobs for his constit-
uents. The order of President Taft
putting fourth-class postmasters I'M
der civil service regulations, has al
most taken the postofices Of that
class out of politics. A Washington
dispatch of recent date says that Mr..
Page called on Postmaster General
Burleson for a ruling about the ap-
pointment of fourth-class postmasters
who are being ground out by the civil
service commission daily. Mr.. Page
asked if he could have a. say in the
naming of fourth-class postmasters in
his district. Mr.. Burleson said that a
word from Mr.. Page for one of the
three submitted by the civil service
commission would influence him in
naming the postmasters The post
mater general can name any n Of
the three highest sent up by the COM
mission. The law gives him that dis
erection. Mr.. Page will recommend
one of the three selected by the civil
service commission.-Dispatch.

CRAIG TO NAME
The Governor WIN Designate County
for Government Aid in Highway
Construction.
(By Parker r. Anderson.l

by Parker r. Anderson
Washington, (Special.1-As soon as
postmaster General Burleson hears
from governor Craig, who has been
asked TO designate the county in
Wnlch ne desires to use the $4,000
sVallaDle under the provision of the
summons federal aid to good roads"
law, experts from the Office of Direc-
tor of Roads Waller Page, will be sent
to the, state to arrange for the begin
ming of the work. The county which
desires to use the federal a~ppropria-
ton will be required to furnish $2O,-
600. Director Page said today that he
is anxious to begin work in every state
which is entitled to the appropriation
by the federal government.
Director Page pointed out, however,
that difficulty may be experienced in a
number of states. The work is 10 be
done under federal supervision and
will be c1assed as a government job.
Hence the eight hour law will be APP
piled and convicts cannot be used in
the construction of the piece of road
which the federal government helps to
build. Experts from Mr.. Pages office
were sent to Dillon, S. c., a few days
ago to begin work in that state, when
the authorities at Dillon learned that
they would have to comply with the
eight hour law and that convicts could
not be used they refused to sign the
government contract.
So if the people of North Carolina
or any other state desire to use the
federal appropriation they will have to
comply with these provisions, unless
some one is found to rule differently
from the construction which the di-
rector of roads has put upon the law.
The Simmons law appropriated only
100000. The idea being to use the
money nor as an experiment than for
anything else. But good roads are be-
ing demanded throughout the United
States and the people are demanding
that the federal government help build
roads where these highways are used
by Uncle Sam to carry mail. 1t is ex-
pected that at least 100000 will be
appropriated by the s~ixty-third Con-
gTess for good roads.

Why Corporations Will Have To "COme
Across With Higher Franchise Tax.
Raleigh, N. c. SpeciaD.-A special
topic here in State house circles is
how it happened that the franchise tax
for corporations got "balled VI" in the
new revenue act SO that h original
corporate franchise tax of one-ffteenth
of one per cent. came through for rat
itication instead of the one-twenty-hfth
of one per cent. rate, to which the Dill
was amended by the Senate and adher-
ed to in the conference committee u
spite of efforts of Chairman Williams,
Of the House Committee, and others.
1t developes that the Senate amend
ment was a second amendment writ
ten on a single sheet of paper. There
is a Senate rule against having more
than one amendment on a sheet, Dut
in this case the two amendments were
acted on in this shape and when they
vent to the enrolling clerks ohce cop
visits failed to notice that there were
two amendments on the sheet, COPIED
the first one and the other. the hange
in the franchise tax, was dropped out.
The change in the franchise tax rate
makes only a difference. of IS IN the
taxes a $4,000 corporation will have
to pay compared with the rate b Sen
ate thought it was forcing into the
act. However, the difference becomes
considerably more noticeable in million
an ten million dollar corporations,
striking especially the domesticated
corporations Of high capitalization.

The economic waste of permitting
the prosecutions of the mosquito is
treated of in clipping, which appears
in these columns, but there is still an
other aspect, that of expense, attached
to the presence of the mosquito, which
is fully felt by the housekeeper. The
expense of screening must be charged
to both fly and mosquito, but that of
the mosquito bar is almost entirely
chargeable to the latter, whose pesky
Yisitations cease neither by night nor
day, The housekeeper knows the cost
of providing bars, which are always
expensive. In addition the suffering,
as well as sickness, endured by those
who cannot afford bars is incalculable.
A benefcent charity would be one to
provide bars for the poor, and it is
strange that heretofore such a good
one has never been started Bars pre-
vent fevers, and also give peaceful
nights to the tired laborer.

THE RIVER SITUATION.

The outcome of the present higl,
water situation is causing more specu,
|latiOn than any other high water of re.
cent years. Following the two ere.
vases above Bayou Sara, the water
fell nearly foot, but is reported to be
slowly rising again.
The probable height to be attained
by the flood is what is causing much
guess work Notwithstanding the
breaks in the levees On the Atchafala,
va and the Mississippi above Bayou
Sara, the weather bureau officials and
engineers still insist upon record
breaking high water, and their latest
predictions call for a stage of % feet
at Donaldsonville, and "A feet at Baton
Rouge. In order to cause these stages
at these places, the gauge at Bayou
Sara must necessarily reach 4S feet.
This, we are frank to state. we do not
believe will be done. Close observers
of the river here are of the opinion
that the stage will not go to 46 feet,
and some bets have been placed that
As feet will be the water mark for the
year. At best forecasting the actions
of the Mississippi is guessing game,
and experts are as likely to be fooled
as any one else.
The Bayou Sara levee will easily
stand strain Of IS feet, or even more,
especially in view of the present beau
tiful weather.
Yesterdays reading Of the gauge was
43.7 feet and slowly rising.

THOSE REBELS.

The Era Club rebels have organized
a Woman Suffrage party, whose OBJ
ject exclusively is to secure the pas.
sage of an amendment to the State
Constitution giving women the vote.
The word, rebels, is used advisedly as
the Era Club has read out of their Or,
ganization any one who goes into the
independent movement for woman SUI
frage. One would suppose that the
Era Club had a patent on the idea. The
Judgment of unbiased persons however
must be that a suffrage club devoting
itself exclusively to the one object can
accomplish more than one diffusing it,
self, as it were, over many, as is the
glad custom of the Era Club.
