cry SCHOOLS AND RURAL PUPILS.

,v~r4p snppestion that children of school-gong age
Who live in the rural districts Of this county be per-
ntod 10 enjoy free Of charge the educational adVan-
saaes Of the Wilmington public schools is one that
naturally makes strong appeal to the self-interest
IF many persons who live in those rural districts It
Is resented however by tho taxpayers of the city of
Wilmington They are not willing to have unloaded
anon themselves the burden of educating the children
who live outside the corporate limits of our city AS
matter Of fact view Of the steadily growing school
population Of our and the expense attending the
work Of keeping pace with it in point Of school facilities,
the taxpayers in Wilmington are particularly
10 have such outside children pay pupils
WiImingtonians naturally lovers OF liberal eduoa-
ton Theyysympahize with those children in the rural
districts to whom It is denied Notwithstanding that
theyee that the duty OF providing proper educational
facilities in such districts rests upon the parents and
taxpayers in those districts and not upon the parents
and taxpayers in Wilmington.
The city OF Wilmington contributes the bulk Of the
state school fund. That fund Is divided among the
school districts proportion to the number Of teachers
employed but it is admitted fact that owing to the
size of the Wilmington educational establishment our
city receive its equitable share Of that State
fund The law contempates that in this city and in
each rural district the money needed for educational
purposes that supplied by the State fund shall
be raised by taxation imposed upon resident in
such city districts other words the schools
Just as good the taxpayers in those districts At
make them There is responsibility upon the tax
payers in Wilmington and there responsibility upon
the taxpayers in the rural districts submit
alton sufficiently highly to provide funds needed for
liberal education.
1t follows. therefore, that If the taxpayers Of viii
lnngton make such sacrifice that their children may
be educated if taxpayers in certain rural districts
fail to make such sacrifice, the taxpayers of Whining
should not be penalzed to the extent Of providing
education the children Of their neghbors in such
rural sections. Nor should the doors of public
schools be open to any country child the exclusion
of any city chiIdsof school-going age.

DrMOcRACY,s BROKEN PLEDGES.

wATHEN the Democratic party was pleading with the
wv people for a restoration to national power, one
or its chief arguments that the Republican party
had been grossly extravagant and that strict economy
would be a prominent feature Of a Democratic adj
mnistration.
Well the people thanks to division in the Republi-
can party placed tho Democracy in control Of the
executive and legislative affairs of nation It has
had more than year Of untrammeled opportunity to
practice that Wanted economy Instead of keeping its
pledge to the people, the Democracy has made inan-
ca record so exraagant that from end to end of the
United states prodgaty the subject Of warranted
and indignant criticism
The Wilson administration promised good times. L
has produced hard times It promised lower cost Of
living That cost except in far it has been af-
ccted by seasonable conditions has kept increasing
steadily It promised Of economy in the spend
ing of public funds It's extravaganza has become motor
ious.
1t is therefore, not surprising that the Democratic
leaders who have had their to the ground view
with apprehension the approach of the November cleo
ton; is it surprising that Norman r. Mack and
other Democrats of prominence making appeals to
Democrats to fall in line and support the Wilson admin
straiion when that election

cIayTONs JUSTICE AND THE GOVERNOR.

the current discussion of the justice of the peace
situation in Clayton injustice has been done to
Governor Miller 1t no doubt inspired by men who
hoped to make political capital out Of what is admitted
~ an aggravating situation.
olcial explanation is to the effect that the governor
has not appointed justice because, under the exist
ing condition and the law he has power to do so.
BY reason Of unusual set of circumstances there Is
no Justice Of the peace in Clayton and, at the same
time there is no vacancy.
It is stated that Governor Pennewill in July, 1910
appointed Ollie w. Carey, railroad man. to the office
Of Justice He served for time and then moved away.
For some reason he failed 10 resign and up to this
time his resignation has not been obtained.
An examination Of the law bearing upon the situa-
ton showed that Governor Miller, successor of Gov
ernor Pennewn had no power to the absent
Justice and that the only thing to do with volun-
tary resignation lacking to await the expiration
OF Justice Carey's term July t9 next. In other
words a serious defect in the law revealed.
There has been no Discrimination the part Of th'
governor to act nor has there been any delay du
to the inability the Republican leaders to upo
a man. Those assertions have been prompted by ig
norance and partisan spleen 1t is safe to assert tina
inst as soon as the governor is in a position
give relief to the people Clayton he will do
doubt he also will to the next legislator
the passage Of a bill that will prevent recurrence

SUPPRESS THE BICYCLE THIEVES.


n OR months bicycle thieves have been operating in
L Wilmington and its vicinity. Few OF them have
been caught few Of the stolen machines have been
restored to their
Something effective should be done to put an end to
their depredations bicycle in the street or in front
yard is difficult thing protect but there are certain
things assist In the work Of repres-
sion detection and recovery. Every person who owns
a machine should equip It with suitable lock In adj
dton he should keep in safe place in his home
a record Of the name and number Of the machine and
tire dealer from whom it purchased. In making
sales dealers usually but not always record the fac
tory numbers Of the machines 1t is therefore, well to
have home record Of the number As soon as
machine Is missed police should be informed and its
description and number should be placed in their
hands Quickness OF action is highly important in
theft Of that sort as thief usually expects to ride
beyond the reach Of the law the property he has
stolen.
encouragement has been given to bicycle theft by
the leniency exercised in several cases by despoied
owners following the Of the property and the
arrest Of the thieves The work of the offenders has
become SO bold recently however that the time has
come for the infection OF penalties to put end
to the evil.

Proper Thing Now is to
Peel Off Soiled Skin

Those who abhor sticky, greasy,
shiny, streaked compilations should
religiously avoid creams, powders
and rouges during the heated days.
There's no need for them, anyway,
since the virtues Of mercolized wax
have become known No amount Of
Precipitation will produce any evil
dence that you've been using the wax.
AS It Is applied at bedtime and washed
off in the morning, the complexion
never looks like a makeup. Merco-
lized wax gradually takes off a bad
complexion, instead Of adding any
thing to make it worse. 1t has none
Of the disadvantages of cosmetics and
accomplishes much more in keeping
the complexion beautifully white,
satiny and youthful Just set an
ounce of it at your druggists and see
what a few days treatment will do.
Use lie cold cream.
Another effective summer treatment
heat tending to cause wrinkles and
fabbiness-is a skin-tightener made
by dissolving / or. powdered saxolite
in u pit. witch Hazel. Its use las a
face BATH leaves no trace.
