going to Fremont to work in the rail
road office there during the summer
months of 1910. While there the school
board employed him as principal of
the Fremont schools, which position
he held very successfully for one
school year. The next year he was
employed to fill a similar position in
the Schools of Goldsboro. He was
engaged in Goldsboro in that capacity
for two years. He then resigned to
enter the University Law School to
complete the study of law, which he
had been pursuing during some of the
summers while engaged in teaching.
He passed the Supreme Court exami-
nation in February, 1914, and came
back to Goldsboro to practice, regard
ing this place as the only home he
has had since he left his mothers
home in Randolph county when he
was Is years old.
He has, therefore, been a citizen of
the county five years and of the town
four years. He loves Goldsboro and
Wayne county and has selected this
as his permanent home, feeling closer
to it than to any other place, and
wishing to be numbered by all as
willing servant of the people and a
devoted citizen of the town. In poll
tics he is Democrat by birth, by en-
vironment, and by conviction; but he
is tolerant of those who differ from
him, expecting of every man only
honest thought and the courage to
stand by his conclusions.

BECKETT ExONERATED

Editor Argus Justice should bt

Some days ago, in conversation with
Hon. T. w. Beckett in Raleigh. he
casually remarked that he hoped all
the folks in my county were for him
for Governor. In reply 1 stated that
was not so sure about it, that while
he had strong friends in my section,
his chances were being very much
hurt by reports that he had treated
Judge Cooke very unjustly, by pleading
the statute of limitations to suit on
surety note in which he was inter-
ested as defendant and attorney. and
that to be perfectly frank with him
he had fallen in my estimation On. ac-
count of it. 1 told him had made IN
my mind to speak to him about it at
the first opportunity, as I wanted to
be just to him. Mr. Beckett stated in
reply that he had heard of the re-
ports. That he did not deem it seem1v
to enter into defense of himself but

ions into which the county is
divided.
OF first Importance from a
traffic standpoint is the ques-
ton of handling the wheat crop
and this calls for a road by the
shortest route to the Columbia
which is Cold Springs landing,
1t seems needless to say the
wheat farmers who constitute
a very influential and heavy
taxpaying group will not sup
port a program that does not
assure them the benefits that
can be obtained from the open
river.
BY the same token the people
in the west end of the county
will demand that their interests
be served through construction
of the Pendleton-to- Umatilla
highway. The people south
ward will demand aid, for
they too desire an outlet, and
the east end of the county will
require assurance of a road
connecting them with the Wal
| la Walla- -Wallula highway.
The problem will be how to
provide for such work as this
and still keep within the limits
of a proposition the people will
support with their votes. 1t will
be an ambitious undertaking
but the opening of the COlum-
bia offers great opportunities
to this county. To secure those
benefits we must act in a big
way. We cannot succeed by
following the old time narrow
grooves. If people cannot see
beyond their noses in this mat
ter they will have to get along
with present roads and present
high rail freight rates.
The broad spirit and general
desire to aid all -the-county
feeling prevalent at yesterdays
meeting augurs well for the
success of the good roads move.
If that same spirit is continued
to the end the cause will win
and Umatilla county will take
its greatest step toward eco
nomic advancement.

commerce and the vari-
Gus slides in the Panama canal
that have been chronicled from
time to time, a great deal of
shipping has passed through
that waterway, and the figures
recently published in the Pan
anna Record have an interest
for Chicago, which unfortu-
nately is not prepared to send
freight by water to the gulf.
On Feb. IA the canal had been
open to commercial traffic for
six months and in that time 496
vessels, other than canal YES
sells and launches, passed
through and carried 2,367,244
tons Of cargo. AS a consider
able portion of this great ton
mage was grain and other COM
modities that would otherwise
have been transported across
the continent on the railroads,
the figures throw light on the
rivalry between the freight
vessels and the transcontinen-
tai land lines.
Of the 496 vessels that pass
ed through the canal 109 were
in the coastwise trade west
bound and ninety-seven were
in the coastwise trade east
bound. In other words, slight
ly more than al per cent of the
cargo handled was in move
ment between ports of the
United States. In addition.
more than 21 per cent of all
the cargo was in movement be-
tween the Pacific coast of
North America - principally
the United States-and Eu-
rope.
The six principal commodi-
ties that passed through the
canal were, in the order Of
their tonnage, grain, nitrates,
coal, refined petroleum pro-
ducts, lumber and cotton. Grain
shipments amounted to 303,-
124 tons, of which nearly all
was from the west coast of the
United States and Canada. The
tolls in this period amounted
to more than S2,000,000-Chi-

LIQUOR AND THE WAR
GAME.

NJ 0 many people the most
W. redeeming feature in the
dark war drama is the
realization of the fact that Ii
quOr is a foe each nation
must subdue in order to face
the enemy in proper form.
At the very outset of the war
Russia with one fell swoop en-
acted national prohibition.
France and Germany took sim
liar action or something to that
effect. Now England desires
to place alcohol under the ban
and from appearances is going
to do so.
With the fighting nations
the problem is not a moral one,
for moral considerations were
long ago cast to the winds. Ii
quor is opposed not because its
use is immoral but because it
interferes with efficiency. 1t
prevents the best soldiery and
it means waste at a time when
resources are being closely con-
served so that each nation may
be in the best possible conditi-
on to endure an ordeal that is
going to reshape the map of
the world.
The war game is waged on
the Darwin principle and
through operation of that same
principle John Barleycorn is
being sent into temporary if not
permanent exile.

The Maxwell radiator Is of handsome design,

has ample cooling capacity. The radiator Is
mounted to the frame by means Of a shock abb

reaching for short people. Most drivers seats are
