from Danvlllo that he has small fear
OF the Federal League. He doesn't
think that tho rivals of the National

much material in the organization over

only way I can figure the Federal
League to hurt the Virginia League"

they find they cannot sign tho big

to induce some OF tho best from this
league to join them by paying class

no apprehension for tho Virginia
League for the coming year.
IF tho MILLIONS they have are not too

The Constitutional Amendments

The Democratic party is GER
tainly facing a peculiar situation
in respect to the proposed con-
stitutional amendments. These
amendments were formulated
and proposed by a Committee
appointed by a Democratic legis-
lature. They received the sin
cere endorsement of the Dem
ocratic Mass Meeting held in
Raleigh last April.
Up to that time they seemed
Democratic measures they had
all the ear-marks of being Dem
ocratic made by Democrats,
endorsed by Democrats. With

State Convention, however, a

great change comes over these
amendments. No longer are
they Democratic, they are strict
ly non-partisan measures. For
nothing on earth would the
staunch and steadfast leaders of
the convention prejudice the
chances for the passage of these
amendments by endorsing them!
They were sacred the democra-
tic leaders did not want to de-
prive the republicans and pro-
gressives of the JOY and honor
of assisting in the passage of
these amendments.
And in their footsteps nobly
followed the State Democratic
Executive Committee. They too
had a deep and earnest regard
forthe republican and progressive
interests in these amendments.
This outburSt of true altruism on
the part of the unselfish lead
ers is very encouraging (?)
sign Of the times.
North Carolina has been a
Democratic State for a long
time. 1t is Democratic at heart
and will doubtless remain DEM
ocratic, but the condition of it's
retention in the Democratic
column very probably means the
complete overthrow of the men
now in charge of the party in
this State.
The large majority of the peo-
pie of North Carolina believe in
these amendments and want to
see them passed. The press of
the State in a solid body Broth
er Shipman excepted have
heartily endorsed these amend
ments and recommended their
passage.
The gentlemen in charge of
the Democratic party in North
Carolina are in a pitiable condi-
ton: they have eyes and see
not, ears and they hear not"

Swat The Fly

One of the biggest North Car
olina Life Insurance Companies,
the Jefferson Standard, has re-
cognized the menace to the pub
lie health Of the fly to such an
extent that they are advertising
in the papers of the state to call
attention to this question. They
advise everyone to Help the
Health Campaigners by Swatting
the Fly" and offer to furnish a
good fly swatter for a two cent
postage stamp.
1t is purely a business propos-
ition with the Jefferson Stand
ard they know that the fewer
flies there are, the fewer their
losses will be and the larger their
dividends.
The fly is a menace to health,
to comfort and to cleanliness.
He cannot breed except in filth
and he does not stay except
where filth exists. If you have
flies, then you or your imme-
date neighbors have filthy sur
roundings. Its as simple as two
plus two.
Whenever this is fully under
stood when the fly comes to be
everywhere regarded as the sign
manual of uncleanliness, his day
will be nearly done. When the
housekeeper gets to be ashamed
Of him, he will have to go.
From the footprints of an Or
binary house-fy made on a gela-
tine slide, the germs of over
fifty different diseases have been
cultivated. Just how much
damage the fly causes has never
been figured but the loss of lives
runs way up into the thou
sands for each season and the
loss in dollars and cents is said
to be over fifty millions a year
in this country alone.
Cleanliness and careful screen
ing will rid your neighborhood of
flies. First clean up yourself
and then SEE THAT YOUR NEIGH
Dor DOES LIKEWISE.

That japanese Question

What with the hot weather,
and the mediation proceedings,
Huerta Villa, Carranza, ct. al.
it would seem that the United
States Government had enough
to perpleX, without the recur-
renee Of the always en- barassing
japanese question.
The latest note received by this
Government from the Japanese
Government reads in part as fol-
lows: the Imperial Government
claims for its subjects fair and
equal treatment and is unable
either TO acquiesce in the unjust
and obnoxious discrimination
complained of, or to regard the
question as closed so long as the
existing state of things is per-
mitted to continue. "
Thus it is evident that no sub
stantial progress has been made
toward the settlement of this
perpleXing question. And the
most perpleXing and embarass.
ing feature Of the whole question
is the fact that Japan is so I'M
deniably within her rights in the
requests she is making. Under
the most favored nation" clause
we have pledged to Japan, by a
treaty fair and equal treat
ment" Of her citizens.
The japanese question, it will
be remembered, first came into
prominence during the Roosevelt
administration and at that time
matters were arranged with the
government of Japan under a
gentleman's agreement" by
which Japan was pledged to re-
strict the issuance of passports
to her citizens coming to the
United States as much as possible.
1t is not denied that Japan has
lived up to the letter and the
spirit of this agreement and the
immigration from Japan since
that time has been only enough
to keep the japanese population
in this country about stationary,
The whole troublesome bust
ness is due entirely to race pre-
JUDGE on the Coast kept alived
and agitated by labor unions
throughout the west and a solu-
ton of the problem that will be
satisfactory to all parties con-
cerned seems to be absolutely
impossible.
From the tone the Japanese
protests are now assuming it is
evidently not going to be long be-
fore the Japanese Government
will begin to adopt retaliatory
measures against this country. |
Our whole trade and intercourse
with Japan may have to be sacri-
feed to appease a few labor ag-
itators and others on the Paci-
fic coast.

Calamity Howling

The Claflin failure is a godsenC
for the calamity hoWlers this in
spite of the fact that the failure
was not attributed to the tariff,
to trust legislation or to any crime
or misdemeanor of the Wilson
administration even by the Olaf
lin Company itself.
President Wilson probably UNI
derestimated in his statement the
lengths to which opponents of his
administration have gone and
would go in their efforts to dis
credit and embarass his admins
tration.
The fact is that the business
condition of this country is en-
tirely normal for this season of
the year. The Clahin failure ac-
cording to the Charlotte Observer
adds another to the great army
of those who bit off more than
they could chew. Without any
ofthe discrediting features at
tending the New Haven Railroad
troubles, it proceeded from fnan-
ciering of the same school. On
top of securities, it issued more
securities, it inflated, it pyramid
ed, it all but 'kited. Originally
and still nominally a wholesale
drygoods house, it conducted re-
tail stores in % cities represent
ing all sections of the United
States. 1t was the biggest note
broker in the country, trading
credits extensively and dealing
with thousands of banks. Its
policy had for some time been to
buy out its debtor retailers, is
suing its own notes to replace
the notes which it held from them.
Itmight with lasting success have
been the largest wholesale or re-
tail concern in the dry goods
business or it might have done
the largest note brokerage bust
ness indefinitely, but it was un-
equal to all three. 1t has stood
on the very verge of failure sew
eral times. At last the period
arrived when, although assets
exceeded liabilities, no less than
$24, 600, 10000 in cash was need
ed at once. Then insued the al
ways ultimately inevitable collap-
se..
The Claflin failure instead of
being a blow to the administra-
ton is simply another example of
the need of governmental control
Of the big corporations of the
country.
President Wilson is to be COM
mended for his determination to
push through at this session of
Congress the administration anti
trust bills. Business will be all
the better for their passage at the
very earliest possible date and
viii be decidedly safer for all
parties concerned after the bills
