full, and many more state their purpose
to vote for scattering candidates.
The candidates ON the ticket named
Wednesday are, as we had hoped, all
high class men Man for man, they
may be compared with the Democratic
ticket. and there is none to deny that in
each and every instance our candidate
will show up with decided advantage
Let the voter try this out for himself.
The ticket is headed by Col Marion
A. Humphreys, who for twelve years
was the postmaster in Salisbury and
has been closely identified with local
and State politics for many years. None
knows the conditions and needs Of tho
county and State better than he, and no
man in the county is better able TO cope
with the difficulties OF applying the
remedies than he. Besides, Col. Humph-
reys is good campaiTer, and numbers
political friends by hundreds even in the
enemy's camp.
There is not space here TO speak of
the whole ticket. Pretty soon it will
be speaking for itself. But next week
this paper will have full sketch of
each of the candidates.

Editorial Opinion
our aGIFT To IAPAN.s

From the Norfolk Nirginian-Pilot.
Why should Alarm-bell Hobson, or

ing unfrtendly purposes towards the
United States. From the time when, in
1858, Commodore Perry entered the Lay
OF Aedo with an American squadron and
opened the gateways OF Nippon to world
civilization, this country has steadily
comtenanced and encouraged the prog
rcss OF this newest member of the fam
lily Of nations. But if there had been 40
previous reason why the government and
people of the fowery Kingdom should
cherish grateful feelings towards us.
there is cause for overlooking gratitude
In the present lately made by the
American Congress TO the Empire of the
East of entire control of ship-born
traffic in the Pacific ocean. Such gener-
osity has never before been exhibited
by one nation towards another as was
displayed in the adoption of the La Fol
lettc Scamen's Act. It's provisions
amounted TO decree that the American
marine should abandon the Pacific
waters 20 exploitation by the merchant
marine of Japan; and the result has
been, even before the law has gone into
ELECT, that there is no longer a steam
ship Lying the American flag on any of

carriers of Japanese registry have in

Japan will continue to develop tins

A Tangled Problem
CFrom the New York Sun

Just where we should have landed
had commercial events under the
present tariff moved undisturbedly on
to their logical conclusion is a matter
too much involved in pure speculation
TO be discussed with much satisfac-
ton All we know is that up to the
time when the wars upheavals threw
everything into confusion business
conditions were bad, were growing
worse end that all the signboards
along the road we were travelling
seemed to point straight to disaster.
There were men accredited with
sound business judgment who then
believed the Underwood tariff was
responsible for the trouble. There
were others ready to demonstrate
theoretically that there was no trou-

was the Underwood tariff had moth
ing to do with il. Quite likely both
groups believe now as they believed
then. II should be OF very little con-
sequence whether they do or do not.
The war has passed a sponge over
the entire controversy. Entirely new
conditions in the country's CONNER
cial history now confront us and
they are as complicated as they are
Unprecedented. Other and still more
intricately tangled tariff puzzles are
plainly foreshadowed as destined to
follow close in the wars wake.

Mexico'S New Government
Deserves Hearty Support
From The Washington Post.)

Secretary Lansing has performed
an inestimable service to both Mex
leo and the United States by coming
out decisiyely I'm favor of the recogni-
ton Of one OF the factions in Mexico.
The faction happens to be headed by
Carranza, who has fairly won his pre-
dominance over the other factional
leaders. He is none too competent to
head even a provisional government,
but in the situation confronting Mex
leo and her neighbors il was better

engaged in hostilities against the new
government. The United States is In

fairs II the new government needs
money, the United States should
facilitate its efforts to place loan.
If 1t needs arms. it should be per-
mitted to obtain them.
Doubtless Carranza has given such
assurances to Secretary Lansing as to
justify him in making immediate ar
rangements for establishing diplo-
matte relations. Once these relations
are established. it viii be possible for
Evening journal., 1915-10-13

the United States to render valuable
assistance to the Carranza govern
ment in composing disputes with for
eign nations and making arrange
ments for the payment of claims
arising from the revolution.
IL is regrettable that upon the eve
of recognition the Carranza party
should have stained its hands with
the blood of a former member of the
Huerta cabinet, whose participation
IN the murder OF Madero was not
proved. Carranza can well AFFORD to
be magnanimous. and the pacification
OF the country would be hastened by
more humane policy. But this is
a domestic matter, and perhaps il is
too much TO expect the Mexicans TO
moderate their passions on the in
slant.
Within short time after Carranza
shall have been recognized he should
be able to direct affairs in such fash
ion as to dissolve outstanding cpposi-
ton. BY offering amnesty to all
political offenders and by energeti-
cally pursuing the remnants Of ir-
reconcilables Carranza should be able
to pacify the country and call the pro-
posed constitutional assembly as a
preliminary to hold general elections.

Mexico stands upon the eve Of
peace and prosperity. Her people are
entitled to the opportunity that

a success, forgetting bygones and
looking only to the welfare of the
great body of Mexicans who ask
nothing more than a chance to live.
