Secretary Bryan

Our Secretary Of State secured
$4,000 for each appearance in
North Carolina and split the gate
receipts fifty fifty. He must have
gathered in much kale.
1t would be interesting, il
possible, to estimate how much
he has lost in the estimation OF
the people by his neglect of
governmental duties to &c
chautauquaing around. Probab-
~ an accurate estimate along this
line would make the profits seems
small indeed.
1t is now conceded by his
friends as well as enemies that
the Secretary is no longer a
presidential possibility. In fact,
Mr.. Bryan himself has realized
this fact and has stated that
after 1916 he will retire from
politics and devote himself to the
cultivation of his broad acres in
Florida, Texas, Nebraska and
elsewhere.
His official record as Secretary
of State has been of a negative
kind, entirely free from the out.
bursts of positive genius so free
ly predicted for him by his
friends. 1t must be stated, that
Mr.. Bryan has made a much bet.

esied by his enemies. His re-
cord is graced by praiseworthy
loyalty to the plans and policies
of his chief, even at times when
those policies must have FLASHED
with Mr.. Bryan's individual ideas

county offices.
1t provides registration of all
persons desiring to participate
in the primary elections OF any
party and as far as we can Judge
almost absolutely assures a far
and impartial primary election IN
all parties all over the entire
state.
Such i bill, if passed, will
mark a long step towards good
government in this state. 1t is
needed and it is wanted by the
great majority Of good citizens
oyer the entire state. 1t does
not seem possible to us that any
man could oppose a bill that is
designed only to secure fair and
impartial treatment Of all candi-
dates and all votes i'll the pri-
mary elections
To secure the passage of a
Statewide Primary law along
the lines of Mr.. Weaver's pro-
posed bill, the citizens of North
Carolina should see to it that no
candidates for the Legislature
who oppose this Statewide Pri-
mary law for all offices and all
parties are nominated. EXPIRES
sions of opinion along this line
should be secured from every
candidate for the legislature. 1t
is your business, Mr.. Voter To
do this. Will YOU do it, or are
YOU satisfied with the present
arrangement whereby you are
relieved of all trouble and re-
sponsibility in the selection OF
your public servants?

sense methods in regard to our
system of taxation is also badly
needed by the people OF the
State. 1t is this amendment
which the interests" are fight
ing to such an extent. ms
amendment only provides the
machinery for an honest listing
of property for taxation and II
carried into effect will probably
result in a lowering of the tax
rate with larger returns than al
present. Under the present sys-
tenn of taxation a premium IS put
upon dishonesty. No property Is
listed at actual value and the
nearer a tax payer comes Y
stating the truth, the more un.
Just is the proportion OF taxes Mt
has to pay.

The Fight Over Reform

With the interests and the
State machine lined up against
the constitutional amendments,
their fate grows daily more un-
certain. The only certain thing
is that unless the people are in
formed as to what the proposed
constitutional amendments are
and the necessity for their pas
sage, they are lost.
Already it is being quite freely
predicted by eminent democrats
that the chances for the passage
of these amendments are exceed
ingly slight, w Hammer
stated in open meeting at the
Press Association in NrghtSville
the other day, that the interests
were lined up against these
amendments and that he person
ally did not believe that they
would be passed.
Two of the proposed constitu-
tional amendments are especial
ly needed. One of them is an
amendment designed to stop so
much purely local legislation by
the State legislature. AT near
ly every session the time and at
tention of the legislation is oc-
cupied to a large extent with
matters of purely local moment
and of about the Importance of
the proverbial hill of beans.
Not only is the time of the
legislature wasted, with the at
tendant financial loss to the
state, but the habit of requiring
legislative passage of bills hav-
ing to do with unimportant local
questions has bred the perni-
cious system of Legislative court
esq.," with swapping of votes
and intrigues of all kinds.
The amendment will not be a
bar to important local legislation,
it will rather be an advantage in
that the legislature will have
more time to consider important
local legislation and legislation
affecting the entire State.
The amendment providing for
reform and a return to common

very evidently been productive
of Establishments along two diff
ferent lines. He is becoming
convinced that he is not by ma
ture and disposition peculiarly
qualified for leadership in the
administrative branches of
government. And the people,
or better say, Mr.. Bryan's fol-
lowers among the democratic
party, having expected much,
are disappointed at the showing
he has made.
Never was more strikingly il
lustrated the difference between
the theoretical and the practical
than in Mr.. Bryan's ideas before
becoming identified with the ex-
ecutive branch of the govern
ment and his official acts and
policies after his appointment.
We imagine Mr.. Bryan's disillu-
sionment is even greater than
the disappointment of some OF
his ardent admirers.
More than any other one fac
tor that has caused his loss OF
popularity, has been his practice
of eking out his meagre salary
of twelve thousand per with the
gate receipts from his chautau-
qua appearances. During last
summer, especially, it was quite
generally and freely charged that
his work as Secretary of State
suffered materially on account of
his long absences from his post
In fact, if our memory serves us
right, a bill making his derelictior
in this regard a subject of con.
gressional inquiry was introduced
in the House but voted down.
Twelve thousand dollars a year
is a great deal of money to most
people-a sufficient salary to JUST
fly Mr.. Bryan's giving to his i'm.
portant post all of his energy
and attention. AS Mr.. Bryan
has explained, it takes money tc
live in Washington, but twelve
thousand dollars is money and
besides Mr.. Bryan is not a poor
man: in fact, judged by any
standard other than that of the
plutocrat he'is very we'll fixed in
worldly possessions, his private
income being between twenty
and thirty thousand dollars a
year.
Under these circumstances,
the feeling is quite general that
Mr.. Bryan should hold more
sacred the dignity of his great
Office and devote all of his time
and attention to its requirements.

Good News

{ If advertising were not part OF the news,
no paper would carry it. no subscriber would
read it.
q AS matter OF fact, newspaper advertising
is as much part of the legitimate news of
the week, as is the front page matter. The
difference is that the advertisements are paid
for and the other news is not. Advertise
ments are giving news along economic and
household lines-news Of goods, of reduced
prices, of better service Of up-to-date bust
ness methods.
d 1t pays to read advertisements. No mer-
chant invests real money in newspaper space
in order to tell fairy story. He does SO,
because he has faith in the proposition he is
stating he believes if your attention is called
TO the particular matter he has in mind both
YOU and he will be benefited thereby.
q For business is lasting and satisfactory
only when the advantages fits transactions
are mutual to both parties.
q The HERALD accepts no advertisements
except those that it knows are true.
q Watch the HERALD for bargains Read
its advertisements to find out which merchants
are paving most attention to the service fea-
lures of their business. Shun the Shop that
does not Advertise.
