ALONG THE BANKS OF
The MAJESTIC YADKIN
AUTO TRIP TO HIGH ROCK.


g. ,ompanied by L. Kirkman an
,miIy crowded into an automobil
and autoed to High Rock, the termi
nal of the Carolina & Yadkin Rive
railroad. The editor was there onci
before, just when the road was com
Melted. but wonderful changes hav.
heen made in the past year. Their
is most delightful strip of lane
along the river where the park il
heated and an idal place to camp
and rough it" as the term goes
Plenty of shade and an ever cooling
wind refreshes the tired body anC
brings on peaceful sleep. In fac
we doubt if better breeze can be
found at the sea shore, certainly not
az constant. The Yadkin river
furnishes a good place to fish, while
boating and hunting and other sport
affords recreation a plenty. You
can get lots of chickens, eggs, vege.
tables, etc., to keep the inner man
refreshed and at nominal sum, too.
We did not intend to spend the night
there but the place was so inviting
that we decided to remain over un-
til the next evening and enjoy camp
life, taking up quarters in the fish
ing clubs house. The experience
was quite enjoyable and we are
ready to do the trick again Nature
has done more for High Rock than
man will ever be able to do, but
with Improvements necessary for
the now-a- days man High Rock
soon be famous resort place and
Col. Coler will draw the scrowds by
the hundreds. In fact they are
going there now in large numbers.
Many Sunday schools have journey
ed there and spent a delightful day
secret organizations and picnic
parties have done likewise and more
will come next year. Saturday the
Woodmen of the World, of Winston
are scheduled for the day and others
will 90 before the frost covers the
ground.
Our route to High Rock was by
Thomasville, Lexington and South
mount, and the roads are fairly good
to the latter place, but-and here
we want to dwell as we think of it, the
roads from Southmount to High
Rock are terrible, rocks, rocks, rocks,
gulleys, gulleys, holes, holes, holes
and everything imaginable to make
a bad road. Two tires on our
machine were literally cut to pieces,
but we got there and back just the
same and perhaps would never had
been satisfied if we had not done the
trick. At the bridge this side of
Lexington we encountered a swamp
Of water about 500 yards wide and
plunged through it with water spout
ing up in our face from the action
of the engine wheel, and running in
to the car, expecting every moment
to food things and kill the spark
to the engine but with a plunge we
landed on dry land just in, time for
the engine went dead and it took
little drying out before it decided
to pull again.
Every High Pointer who can get
off should 90 to High Rock and rest,
it beats the sea shore or the summer
resort where style holds sway and
where you work harder trying to rest
than you do at home. High Rock
is the place to get real rest, free
from the hun drum of the city and
fashions decree. Are you going!
No, this is not paid advertisement,
simply a recital, unsolicited, OF
things as we viewed them.

There are tricks in all trades as has often
been said,
But to find them's difficult task;
No doubt there were times that you thought
that you knew,
1t was needless you thought for to ask;
The answer perhaps that person would
give,
To all questions alike are the same;
There are always things you will never
find ont,
You can't beat man at his own game.
A man may be clever and have lots of
friends,
May have money and leisure to spare;
Can ride in his automobile every day,
And don't seem to have any care;
But remember there's something behind
all this show,
That you can not find OUT, just the same;
Don't try for to initiate what he may do,
You can't beat man at his own game.
The man in the office the store or the shop,
Will often excel in his line;
The man looking on has ambitions himself,
And thinks shat his chances are fine;
He will closely observe what the other man
does,
Note the time that he went and he came;
And will make an endeavor to follow the
cue,
You can't beat man at his own game.
The man that's original in his ideas.
And has nerve for to work out his plans;
The fellow that forges ahead in this world,
Will often get what he demands;
Don't imagine he gets it by just looking on,
Or perchance that good luck to him came;
It's mode of prodceedure that never did
| pay,
To try to beat man at his own game.
In the end you will find it is best to pro-
ceed,
| In a cautious and we'll studied way;
i, Be careful in whom you confide for advice,
: Of YOUR motives have little to say;
There's always another that's watching
your plans,
If you're looking for fortune or fame;
Push manfully around, be honest and fair,
But don't tackle the other mans game,

German Treatment of Native Races

lTr0fl TIr Manchester Gucricr)
Those who work for the welfare Of the
African native are anxious that the Colonial
Office should concern itself at the earliest
possiblc moment with the improvement OF
the conditions Of the natives in the late
German colonies. The charges Of harsh
treatment Of the natives in German South
west Africa and Togoland have heen persis-
tent and detailed. and it is assumed that
under British administration such conditions
if proved. will come automatically to an end.
The point on which there is the greatest
anxiety, and on which the Anti-Siavery So
ciety has Just addressed a letter to Mr.. Bonar
Law, has reference to the belief that In
some Of the German colonies the plantations
have been stated by forced labor with the ac-
tive assistance Of the administration. The
society urges the Colonial Office to bring
about the liberation Of any laborers who
may be found to have been secured IN the
interests Of private profit either by fraud or
force" The society has reason 70 fear that
forced labor has been employed in the Am
bas Bay and Dualla regions of the Came
rooms, and to lesser degree in German
Southwest Africa and Togoland, and the sys-
TEN is said to be widely prevalent in Ger
man East Africa. The society hopes that the
Government may be able to institute an in
curry into this matter, and also into the gem
eral question Of the treatment Of British
natives in the German territories. Dir. Bonar
Law sent an encouraging reply, in which he
has no doubt that in the administration OF
German territories now in the military oc-
cupation Of his majesty's forces any prac-
tees Of internal administration which may
be repugnant to British methods will not be
allowed to continue

The Proposed Foreign Credit.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir. VIII it be greatly to the advantage OF
our merchants, manufacturers and farmers
70 loan the Allies on their notes? We will
m, ro into the question Of Germany and her
allies winning in this war. They cannot we
must remember that we are loanlng II the
loan be made, to the English and French gov
ernments. not to their merchants. II the war
comes to an early end, say even in two years
or three. with the Dardanelles open and the
English merchants able to buy wheat, cheese
and other foods in Russia, as well as wool, etc.
cheaper than or as cheap as here, VIII not the
Frolish and French merchants, being, as we
all know, able men, go to that market TOT
ibeir supplies? They naturally will have no
sentiment In the matter. Then our merchants
will be "out of it," and forced to compete
with low priced labor, and our farmers VIII
suffer. We shall, of course, have good snare
of trade with Europe whether we make loan
or not, but might lose much for the above
reason.
Exchange has adjusted itself for century
between the countries of the world. why not
lot il do so now? OF course, we are pro-
Allies as rule, but in this loan business
should we not recognize the fact that "busl-
ness is business" and, as England and France
ard other great nations have done, greatly
to their benefit, leave out all sentiment in the
matter? The Allies, when the war is over
will, as governments, buy little Of US com
rsred TO what they now do. Let the people
think well over this and "look before they
leap"
There is a group Of bankers and railroad
men who would probably be very pleased to
have our farmers, merchants and business
men. as well as our investors with means not
active in business, help them carry what may
turn out to be a load heavy to handle

Single Tax and Sanitation.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial in The Tribune regard
ing the remarks of Surgeon General Gorgas
on the economic cure for consumption fails
it seems to me, sufficiently to emphasize tn,
fact that the taxation of site values, or, ir
other words, the single tax, is the real ef
hcitnt cure for not only consumption but nu
merous other diseases.
DR.. Gorgas and Professor Johnson, of Har
ward, have written pamphlet entitled "Sani
tation and the Single Tax" which it is vel
worth while to read They demonstrate thai
all economic workers, sanitary experts, So
cial workers, psychologists. pathoogists
physicians, etc, are agreed on one general
cause for disease, and that is poverty. Anc
poverty can never be destroyed until, as DIR
Gorgas states, the land is forced into use by
the taxation of site values.

A German Protests.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR: The letter from NJ. F. J. in The Trib-
une OF September IL is fair sample of an
Anglicized Americans hallucination.
Anglczed Americans (Anglomaniacs) may
doubt the honor of the German government,
but that is no reason Why prejudiced and
marrow minded persons should doubt the
honor OF American citizens who are of Ger
man birth and descent NJ +. J. advises
voters to vote against every candidate with a
German name on Election Day, as they can
not be trusted in Office. Would advise NJ F. J,
20 look up the officials with German names
and those with English names who have been
deposed from office on account Of dishonesty
Then let him compare the two lists. and am
positive that the officials with English patro-
nymics will outnumber the Others by ten TO
one
OF late it is getting so that bearers of
German names are being hooted at. and are
called Nandals and Huns. There is a limit
TO everything, and that limit has been
reached in regard to bearers of German
names. Has the time arrived when we must
change them to suit the whims of the Anglo
manlacs?
often wonder what the result would be
were the voters with German names inclined
to boycott the candidates with English

The Way to Betterment.

Controller Prendergast's scheme Of educa-
tional reorganization contemplates the APP
plication of the Writ system, now being
experimental with in The Bronx, to all
city schools. But it goes much further.
1t includes a lenGthening of the school
year, a reduction Of the common school
course one year, made possible by the
longer school day and school year; and a
complete disruption of the rigid pay and
promotion system. 1t means more work
and longer work for the school teachers
and assurance Of pay according to indi-
vidual worth, not according to length Of
service. Also, if it can be carried out
according to the Controllers notion, it
means a reduction in the annual budget
allowance of the Board Of Education.
Already these proposals have aroused
protest President Churchill of the Board
Of Education seems to be, in general, in
favor of the ideas, save the reduction in
the Board of Education's budget-but he
Geprecates haste in reform. ITS all
right, but don't let's do it yet" he says,
in effect The teachers, already much
exercised by the Controllers attitude on
the bankrupt pension fund, may be ex-
pected to oppose his suggestions for more
work and a reorganization Of the pay
basis with all their might.
The general public, whether taxpayers
directly on property owned or only indi-
rectly as rent payers, will probably APP
prove the Controllers suggestions. New
York is proud of its schools, and for years
has given generously, even lavishly, TO
maintain the school system, which the
people want TO make the best possible.
But Of late there has come to be a wide
spread belief that the city was not getting
all it should for its expenditures The
public wants the part-time problem
solved and realizes that it can't be solved by
the method of further appropriations for
new buildings, involving additional appro-
priations for maintenance and operation.
The public is coming TO understand that
the city does not compare favorably with
other great cities in the number Of hours
of instruction in the school year.
The Controllers plan, in some details,
may not be feasible That the educational
and financial authorities will have to de-

Wedding Rings.

There was a time when the young bride
took as much pride in her shiny new we'd
ding ring as does the novitate Of a college
fraternity in his resplendent pin. 1t
marked her as among the chosen of her
sex. one whose charm had impeled to her
side and detained there a man, member
Of the species Of adventurous spirits
whose domain is the wide wide world and
whose future may have in store riches and
fame and power. It advertised to an in
terested public not only that she was too
precious morsel Of femininity to be over
looked by a careless and conceited sex,
but also that she commanded the protec-
ton which matrimony implies. The we'd
ding ring we repeat, was considered the
symbol of victory-once upon time.
But to-day this outward manifestation
Of the golden bond binding two hearts IS
mourning the disdain of a growing num-
Der Of young women. Mrs. Gregory
Mason, for example married within a day
or two), explained that she wore no we'd
ding ring because she was new era
woman and did not believe in rings Of
any kind; that furthermore she knew no
reason why a man shouldn't and a woman
should wear a wedding ring. Rings Of
any kind, indeed the poison lies, as
usual, in the postscript, and it cries as
plain as day: "Wedding rings are symbols
Of subjugation" Wedding rings are
property signs to warn off trespassers!"
wedding rings are the survival Of those
bright brass collars of ancient serfdom!"
No longer a symbol Of victory, then, but
Of defeat; no longer the badge of the con-
queror, but of the conquered. And yet
the oldest sport in the world has suffered
no sea change in our time. The fishers Of
men still spread their nets and with the
torches of their glory lure their catch.
"He was so tall and manly | just couldn't
resist him. said Mrs. Mason of her bride
groom. Nonsense! She couldn't get rid
Of him.
It's all a matter Of ones point of view.

THE ACME OF DIRECTNESS
No Committee Designation Should
Sidetrack Voters in the Primaries.
To tho Editor o. Tho Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Being by adoption a Jerseyman, !
have no right to cut into discussion OF your
domestic affairs, but the direct primary is a
live tonic on both sides of the fence, so | will
Just toss over stick or two to show how 1t
strikes me- after reading Mr. Jaryss letter
i'm to-day's Tribune.
| always regarded the plan TO have a.
official committee make nominations to the
primary as in effect a sop to machine-ted
politicians, If not to the machine itself. Few
things are so difficult as for a machne-bred
patriot TO conceive that nominations may
originate without organization parentage.
One Of the chief purposes of the direct pri-
mary was to DO away with Intermediates
trying to impose themselves upon both the
candidate and the voters. II we common
voters wait for a committee or a club to DO
our nominating for us, we thereby d'vest
ourselves of measure of our proper initla-
tive and the dignity thereof, and confer IN
advance upon the committees nominations
quasi-indorsement to which their quality
may not, and often does not, entitle them.
Just such mournfu discovery is staring
in the face right now OF the twelve Essex
Assemblymen who voted en- bloc last spring
against submitting the Assembly district
constitutional amendment 10 a popular vote
an act justifying the severe castigation 1t
has received, ten are put forward by the
Essex County Republican committee for re-
election, the other two being otherwise ten
derby provided for An exhibition Of cool
contempt for public opinion surely! One
man is said 10 dominate the con mlttee, but
no one man can dominate the people Very
very much better nominations In Essex are
those made by unorganized Republicans, try
ing TO take the "cuss" off the county and the
party.
Why not leave the nominating open to the
people? Let them exercise their own lnltia-
tive. Don't handicap anticipate their Ell
forts by giving preference or official stand
ing to nominations made by some organiza-
ton within the party. Mr.. Jarvis argues
that some such official responsibility for
nominations Is needed. Experience teaches
that such aid costs more than it comes 70.
Let the character Of the nominees bear the
responsibility. free field and no FAVOR
should be the motto. We blame the voters
for their indifference; the way to get them
busy is TO give them an opportunity 20 &C
complish something. As long as they Kno"
that George has the inside track they VIII
continue to say: ooh, let George do it."
II Is hard for a political organization
really to defer to the people, to refrain from
exalting its horn and crowding the humble
citizen off the platform. Not so shall we
build I'D the state There is not likely TO
be such dearth Of candidates as to require
club or committee of Diogeneses to search
for them. Let the people alone. They Will
find candidates enough if you give them the
chance-and the direct primary will SIT out
the wheat from the chaff.

Suffrage Brings Comfort.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: At meeting of the American Public
Health Association the other day a distn-
guished speaker said:
"Probably the most serious defect in our
American sanitation is the lack of public
conveniences and comfort stations in our
cities and towns"
While visiting Pennsylvania recently, the
Hon. George L. Young, Mayor of Phoenix,
spoke in high terms of the results of equal
suffrage in Arizona. Among other things he
said, as reported in The Pittsburgh Sun" OF
August 20:
Through the influence of the women there
have been installed in all towns and cities
drinking fountains, rest rooms and public
comfort stations"
He said that the women were helping
nightly in reducing municipal expenses, and
added:
"The men of Arizona gave their mothers,
wives, sisters and sweethearts the vote with
a good, round majority. If they were called
upon to grant the right over again to-mor-
row. there would not be single intelligent
vote cast in opposition"

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: May l crticise the critic? What does
the author Of "A Midsummer Nights
Dream" want7 Gore? II Mcfarland instead
Of ceverly duckng and blocking Gibbons's
leads had allowed them TO "land." and about
the eighth or ninth round one of two bruised
and bleeding, staggering Jumps Of flesh had
happened TO land wallop on the other for
the count; if instead of two clever boxers
going the limit he had seen two clumsy
brusers hammer each other for nine or ten
rounds, would he have thought he had got his
moneys worth?
like to see two clever men light Of foot,
quick Of head and hand, feinting hitting,
duckng, blocking, countering, side-stepping
in an exhibition of the more or less noble
art of self-defence. II want TO see slug
ging match which | DON'T can watch a
couple Of drunken longshoremen.

the latter, as there are many ball fans who
would rather see their team win rotten
game of dirty ball than lose a clean TO 0
game. But would not expect to see them

America and Industrial Democracy
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: DR.. Howe's article on "Socialized Ger
many" in to-day's Tribune is very interest
ing. But his whole story I believe, will seem
insignificant and primitive in comparison
with what, some day, critics will be able to
write Of industrial democracy in America.
He states that social legislation in Ger
many has left US far behind This may be
true, but 1t took its start at a different point
and comes from a different source than sim
ilaf legislation here. Our foundation runs
fathoms deeper than Germany's. The con-
sequences of the intention that in this land
there should be a government Of, by and for
the people are becoming manifest. With our
growing political democracy, there is no
doubt that all improvements in industrial
welfare will be fashioned after the pattern
Of the people. There will be no dependence
OIL the good nature Of an Imperialism.
If the German people ever grow away from
the paternal scheme, and are given the lib
erty OF themselves enacting the means Of
satisfying their desires and necessities, and
Of nursing their ideals, they will have TO
learn self-government. But for US 10 enjoy
the industrial state we seek means to learn
new forms of self-government, new forms of
business administration and 10 try out fresh
school systems TO meet the needs Of the
workers. Our Industrial democracy will be
lust IS stable as we want it. 1t will not be
gift. to be harnessed and guided by the
giver. Then the "philosophy of individual
ism" which DR.. Howe speaks of will not have
been in vain. For under the working of the
pivotal idea in our desired social state,
equality Of opportunity, individualism will
come into its own.
