WHY GO TO

The Washington Star presents in connecti,9
with its church notices every Saturday a reason
from some person occupying prominent place m
Washington why the invitations to come (;
church should be needed. Saturday afternoon
last it was Howard A. Banks, private secretary
to the Secretary of the Navy, who presented the
argument for church going. His article is headed
"Secretary Banks Reasons and reads:
People should go to church to hear men fun
Of the Holy Spirit and of power rightly divide
the word of truth The vast majority of IN.
mainly is taken up with the cares Of this lie
and the deceitfulness of riches. Therefore. the
need to hear from men who have given their lives
tc mastering the Bible and to administering its
precepts. For that book is the only divinely hv-
ing thing on a death stricken globe. Not even 70
hear good music nor fine preaching, but to learn
how to be saved and how to serve our fellow men
by obeying God, should people go to church"
Neatly put, just as might have been expected
OF Mr.. Banks, who always makes it a rule Of
action that anything worth doing at all is worth
doing we'll.

AS TO SEX HYGIENE.'

The recent action OF the National Educational
Association in placing itself on record as beGev-
ing that the place to teach matters Of sex by
giene is by the parents in the home and not by
the teachers in the schoolroom is one which
should sharply call attention to a matter which
vitality affects many important phases of life.
The position taken by the association, to our
mind, is based upon the correct principle. And
while this is 50 there are many cases in which
opposite action would prove of advantage. There
can be no question that in the schoolroom where
both sexes are gathered sex hygiene should not
be taught. The reasons are obvious and will be
recognized. And even with the sexes in different
class rooms there are teachers who are not COM
petent to deal with matters of so intimate con-
Germ in life.
If it were possible. that in every school there
was a motherly woman whose wisdom would
guide her in talking with girls and young women;
if there was a man Of correct poise in each school
to have such talks with the boys; then the matter
would solve itself, but unfortunately there are
not and never will be. Yet it must be recognized
that there are fathers and mothers who are per
haps not fitted for giving advice which ought to
be given. This makes the matter a most COM
pick one with which to deal.
AS to the principle we are in thorough accord
with the position taken by the National Educa-
tonal Association. That a workable plan can be
devised for giving attention to a matter which
5 deserves all attention we believe, and we feel that
it will be worked out by the thinking fathers and
mothers of America. That the teaching of sex
hygiene be left to the teachers is not the solution.
There must be some broad and general plan BY
which where parents are not fitted to give advice
needed that it can be given through special means
TO be devised for communities and districts.
The need for a correct solution Is imperative.
and to it the best thought of this nation should
be turned. The moral life, the purity, of the
present and future generations are the considera.
uons which are to be met and there should be
! nothlng lett undone until there is a way>devised

so that the youth Of the land may be taught IN
proper time those matters OF sex hygiene whlel
should be part OF their equipment for lie. In
the final analysis we believe that the initial st,u
in such instruction must be taken in the houe.
either by instruction being given there, or in all
thority being delegated from it to some one else

DURHAM E A OUT.

We are more and more being convinced that
where the Democratic voters have a say that
the will express themselves in favor OF a State
wide legalized primary law for all parties on the
same day for all elective officers. That IS a
measure which will appeal to all who believe IN
the rule Of the people. The Democratic party
will never weaken itself when it puts into the Ia"
such a primary plan for North Carolina.
A few days ago Buncombe county spoke out
for the Statewide primary for all elective OH
GERS and on Saturday the Democracy of Durham
county took similar action on motion OF MI.
S. C. Brawley. The matter was not disposed OF
without debate and the county convention knew
what it was about when it adopted the resolution
which was offered. Previously in the convention
a resolution had been adopted for such a primary
for Durham county, and logically the resolution
favoring a like primary for the State followed.
The resolution of the Durham county Demo
cratic convention is in this language:
Resolved, That the Democrats of the county
of Durham in convention assembled do here
by urge our representatives in the next Legis-
lature to use their influence to secure the
passage of a Statewide legalized primary law
for all parties on the same day and for all
elective officers.
The resolution is clear cut, with no ifs or ands
about it. 1t is a resolution which the DemoC-
-racy of any county in North Carolina can adopt
with the feeling that by 50 doing it is adding
strength to the party throughout the State. 1t
simply means that the Democratic party trusts
the people.
The new primary ordered in the Third District
between Messrs. George E. Hood and Charles R.
Thomas for Congress emphasizes the need for a
primary which will be paid for by the State. In
that district each of the candidates is required to
put up one thousand dollars for the expense of
the primary. Of necessity it must be paid for,
and the men who are in it must pay to have it
held. But the cost is such that men of limited
means are debarred from becoming contestants
for office. The right thing is that primaries be
paid for from the public purse, giving all men
an equal opportunity to get their names to the
voters. This is only one angle of the question,
but no matter from what angle it may be viewed,
the fair conclusion which must be reached is that
the primary, Statewide, lega1ized, for all parties,
for all Offices, on the same day, is the correct
thing.

FORCIBLE

A contemporary points out that these minis
tiers omit to advise Mr.. Asquith what to do. But
we think they must mean that were they in Mr.
Asquith's place of authority, they would let the
militants starve. 1t sounds a little cold blooded.
but to how much sympathy is a person entitled
who has food in reach and won't eat it? Are not
the chances that not a single militant would go
the limit and actually starve to death?
We believe there is a law now that makes the
jailer responsible for the health of the prisoners
under his care and that on account of this law the
final test for the contrary creatures the English
government is trying to deal with cannot be
made. But the law could be changed and it
seems that it would help matters considerably
if it were changed.

HERE'S COMMON SENSE.

The upper house of the Maryland
Legislature has passed resolution
looking to submission of a constitu-

branch of that body from 1c2 to 81.
Probably the lower house will reject
it; the certainty that i would re ire
some aspiring members from their
seats is commonly sufficient to kill
such a measure.

Dallas, Tex, selected for one of the
reserve cities. Newark, Jersey City
and Hoboken don't naturally do
banking or any other business to
speak of with Philadelphia. Except
politically, they are virtually as
much a part of New York city as
Brooklyn or the Bronx. This is par
ticularly so as to their business and
banking.
There is no occasion to get excit-
ed about the thing. Those New Jer-
sey cities will go on doing their
usual banking and other business
with New York just the same. It's
only the unusual, provided for in the
new system, such as rediscounting,
that will turn their faces for the in
slant to Philadelphia. But it is an
obvious absurdity for the usual
banking relation to go OH between
New York and the Jersey cities and
then for them to have to go to Phila-
delphia only on occasions or in emer-
gencies, not unlike the family that

A SEALING HORROR.

The loss of nearly a hundred OF
the crew of the sealer Newfo md
land is one of the typical tragedies
of the North Atlantic that are re-
peated, perhaps not year after year,
but so often that they have come to
be considered inevitable.
This newest horror is the worst of
many years; worse even than the
Greenland horror, in which forty
eight men were frozen 20 death on
the ice field.
One of the appealing things about
these tragedies is that the victims
perish so near TO their ships that,
until the blizzard comes upon them,
they can see even the flags that are
supposed to summon them back from
work when the day is ending or
when the captain decides that there
is danger of a storm.
To one unfamiliar with the sud-
den fury of these sub-krctic storms
the occupation would seem very
aafe; quite as safe as the work of a
farmland going to the end of a ten
acre lot to kill a calf, except that
this sealing business IS more pitt
full butchery.
The men that go out on the ice
foes to kill the herds of seal must
stay at their work unit! they are
summoned back to the ship by the
flag signal. Sometimes, it is sus-
pected, the masters of the seale-s
have been too full of the greed for
SKINS to pay much heed to the
changing wind or the falling glass;
they have taken chances that there
would not be a sudden storm, over
whelming and killing the crew on
the ice. Sealing is not a Ilice busi-
ness, even in Kipling's verse. Some
how, every wretched seal that is
beaten on the head seems to be
avenged.

no chance for the committee to es-

THE FALL OF TORREON.

With the fall of Torreor. several
things are made very clear concern
ing the present revolutionary move
ment in Mexico. One is that Villa,
whatever may be thought OF his
record or his methods. is an effective
soldier Of high order. 1t is not
that he has taken a city, so much
as that he has builded an able and
efficient army in marvelously short
time out of most unpromising mate
rial, and with exceedingly limited
resources.
They say Villa is bardit; but
then they said that Washington was
a rebel, that Grant was q butcher,
and that Wellington was a brute.
Villa, at any rate, has accumulated
the largest measure of military pres
tee that has accrued to any Mexi-
can soldier in generation.
With Torreon in his hands, he may
be expected quickly to take Salt;llo
and reduce Durango. Tampico will
be his prize soon thereafter, and the
taking of Tampico will place in his
control one of the best customs ports
of the country, with the reasonable
certainty of giving his cause some
thing like 100000 2 month of Gus
toms revenues. That alone means a
vast deal to the Ca-ranz:sta cause,
for it needs money quite as much
as it needs men.
The event at Torreon emphasizes
the suspicion, long forming, that the
lfuerta regime is bluff and front,
rather than real power. IIuerta has
discoursed about going to the front
and, by taking personal command in
the field, infusing conf ience into
his forces and his hackers, and hurl-
ing back his enemies. He has staked
much on Torreon, and he has made
good in no direction. Ii may yet be
that the march of Villa to Mexico
City vii lbe necessitated; but
whether Huerta's administration
collapses without the necessity fol
that campaign, it is reasonably co,
vious that Huerta will not finally be
able to stand before the tiger of TIE
north.
