COMPLIMENTS II. J. HODGES
WORK FOR THE FEDERATION

The Implement News pays this
compliment to II. ]. Hodge In con-
nectIon with his address as secre-
tary before the federation meeting
at Chicago:
In introducing Mr.. Hodge to the
convention President Craig spoke
earnestly and with much feeling
concerning the federation secretary's
great work in the association field.
He has come here at our request"
said Mr.. Craig, ito tell US about
the problems of the retail imple-
|ment dealer. We sent our secretary
all the way to Abilene to prevail
upon Mr.. Hodge to accept our in
vitation, for we recognize In him
the father OF the implement deal
ers' associations, the man whose
earnest. painstaking work and en-
thusiasm over organized effort,
have caused the association move
ment to be extended over the entire
country and held the organizations
together. And these associations
have accomplished wonderfully ben
etioial results for both dealers and
manufacturers. Neither dealers nor
manufacturers generally realize
how much has been accomplished
and how much we owe these asso-
Citations. l feel that without their
beneficial influence during the past
decade we manufacturers today
would be vexed by many more pro-
blems than we are now called upon
to- solve. look upon Mr.. Hodges
work 90 an everlasting
monument Of which he may well be
proud"

THE PRESIDENT rs RIGHT.


President Wilson is being criticised
in some quarters for lifting the embar-
go on arms and ammunition shipped to
Mexico. and the suggestion is made
that his action means sympathy for
the rebels, whose domains" border
upon the United States. The only sig
nifcant result will be a fight to the
finish between the two factions, With
out any handicap in securing the mu
nitions of war. The administration
has maintaintd a neutral position all
the while and is not likely to give aid
or comfort to either side without good
and sufficient reasons. 1t appears tina.
government In Mexico can only be OBJ
tanned through conquest and the Wash
ington government is entirely right in
its conclusion to permit them to adjust
their own differences down there, rath
err than become involved in a gorilla
warfare that would be expensive to
life. and property and to this re
public. If Mexico had any claim to
constitutional government, the same
might, with propriety, be recognized by
the United States, Under existing
conditions, neither side to the contro.
vcrsy is entitled to recognition by any
civilized country. The Huerta regime
deserves no sympathy than does
the faction that seeks it's undoing.
In his order removing the embargo
On arms and ammunition, the Presi.
dent of the United States makes his
position plain and specific. He says
IN effect, that all hope of restoring
Eeace by a waiting policy has been
abandoned and it is either let the Mex
leans fight it out, or send u armies
to command peace at any price. Talk
IS cheap, but the lives of patriotic
Americans must be considered, in the
meantime. Revolutions have been the
order of the day in Mexico for many
years and there appears to be little
hope of peace until the existing fac
tons there are satisfied with having
measured arms on the field of con
quest. President Wilson is right. Let
them fight it out.

RURAL TELEPHONES.

f
We note with much pleasure the
progressive step of some of the rural
sections of Henderson county in ar
ranging for telephone service SOFAS to
get in touch with Hendersonville and
other parts of the outside world at q
moments notice.
Rural telephone service is aonezof the
many modern conveniences of which
the e~nterprising people of the country
will finally avail Themselves and the
earlier the better. There is no plausi-
bic reason why nearly every section of
Henderson county as we'll as many
other counties should not be covered
with a net work~of telephone lines, for
che services are invaluable and the ex.
penses are not arbitrary.
This modern convenience is a fail
Indication of the progressiveness of
any community and therefore We trust
that other sections will avail them
selves of the cooperation the local
telephone exchange offers in telephone
line extension. !.

OPIUM SHOOTING IN JAPAN.

There are said to be 100000 con-

this monstrous evil. Plans are under
way to erect a hospital in Batavia
for the treatment of those afflicted
with this pernicious habit.

TELEPHONE SUIT SITUATION.

The suit of the town of Henderson
Vile against the local telephone com
pany over an increase in telephone
rates, appears to have reached an acute
stage.
In 1912 the telephone company an
nounced a proposed increase in rates
on the ground that it was not operat-
ing at a profit by reason of more up-to-
Gate service occasioned by the install
lation of a new switch board, etc. A
number of the telephone subscribers
protested against the increase and
net in mass meeting at which time
subscriptions were made to fight the
proposed rates. The matter vas TAX
en- before the State Corporation Com
mission, which granted a slight In
crease, but not as much as was asked
for, and from this ruling the town ap-
pealed. 1t went before the Superior
court of Henderson county and the
Judge appointed Hon. A. Hall John
ston as referee. In a hearing before
Mr.. Johnston on February 2 he ex-
pressed the opinion that he had no
jurisdiction to try the case and re-
ferred it back to the Judge of the Su-
perior court with the recommendation
that the case be dismissed.
What next? This is an important
question which the people will have to
decide.
We understand that approximately
$500 was raised in subscriptions to
fight the case. On page 70 of the pro-
ceedings of the City Commissioners we
find an order which we. interpret to
mean that a bond of 5000 was author
lied upon the condition that subscrib-
ers put up a cash bond of equal
araount with the clerk of the Superior
court at the first term of the court fol-
lowing and that unless these conditions
were fulfilled the city attorney was d.
rected to withdraw the appeal. We un-
derstand that the cash bond was no;
furnished by the subscribers, therefore
we construe the order of the commits
sioners to mean that they have with
drawn opposition to the increased
rates.
The subscription fund is about ex-
hausted and it appears to us to be ur
to the people to say what will be.thf
next step. 1t takes money to continue
fighting the rates. For instance, the
one days proceedings of the referet
cost $107 and the case is just where i
was when it was referred to him.
Attorneys cannot be expected Il
Push this matter unless they are paii
for heir services. The city has thrown
up it's hands. Now it is up to the tele
Phone subscribers to take the mex
step towards prosecution.
The last session of the General AS
sembly granted authority to organic
a new company, but there is no likely
hood of : an organization being per
fected.
The odds are somewhat against tn
subscribers since the Corporation
Commission ruled against them and tn
c0urts handle the situation very eau
I.oUsly. If they should win and caus
the rates to be reduced it would be at
heavy cost and therefore under thes
circumstances we believe that it woul
be good policy for the people to with
6raw the case and abide by the ruin
OF the Corporation Commission.

MIR. SHIPMAN AND THE POSTMAS-
TERSHIP.

The brilliant CD effusion handed out
Ly the Western North Carolina Times
last week anent the recommendation
of a new postmaster for Henderson
vile will deceive no conversant
with the facts. 1t has long been the
"stock in trade" of this republican
sheet to foment strife in the local
Democratic organization. But this IS
Eot surprising for it knows full well
that with a united Democracy in this
county the republican party would
stand little show of uecess This
writer holds no brief for Mr.. M. L.
Shipman, but is convinced that he did
not advise either of the applicants tc
enter the contest for postmaster, and,
according to a statement given out by
Congressman Gudger, made no recon-
mendation for postmaster. He express
ed no preference to his friends here
and many Of them supported other can
didates than the one mentioned by
the Times as ~the Shipman candidate.
Those who have watched the course
of Mr.. Shipman for the past several
years must admit that he has to verv
little extent, if any. participated IN
local political contests and that he has
sought to eliminate factionalism in the
Democratic party of this county. This
was perfectly apparent at the congress
sional convention of 1912, when he
placed in nomination for district cleo
for Mr.. Med. Ray, believed to be his
bitterest political antagonist in the
county. Many of his friends criticised
him for this action and suggested that
he had compromised himself by so do
ing. But he stated that his purpose
vas to restore harmony in his party in
Henderson county.
While with regret we have to admit
that there is yet some factionalism in
