no good in him If we hate a man
we see all Of his FAULTS and all his
shortcomings. We close our eyes
to all that is beautiful and good in
him. Many sinners are not willing
to confess their sins. The pharisee

Rev. Edwin Castle at the Linden
Avenue Christian church last night.
in which ne pointed out many of
the obstacles To salvation which are
found i'm this life and the ways of
meeting the difficulties
These words are taken from the
story of the women who went TO the

women could not move it them

These things-the dance hall the

the great stone which is keeping the
people of today from seeing the

that the stone be removed that
their children may see Christ just

THE PRESIDENT GAINING GROUND

Representative Kitchin and the other
"pacifsts'' in congress were silent last
week and permitted to go through.
without opposition the first two ma
ticnal defense bills on the House cal
endar. after Speaker Champ Clark and
minority leader Mann had championed
them in vigorous addresses.
Yet it should not be assumed that
the air has entirely cleared in Wash
i1.gton since the Presidents series of
speeches to the voters of the country.
This initial legislation looking to ade-
qUate national preparedness, that ran
the gauntlet of the House last week
was such as not one American in a
hundred would oppose.
The principal interest in the matter
was in the general acceptance by the
Republican leader of the House, Nj.
Mann, and by Speaker Clark, and the
others who spoke of the President :

tics and political Affiliations abandon
ed in the presence of the call of patri-

Is not a farmer of the type that will
appeal to the ordinary brand of Tiers

vast and his farming operations on
such a wide scale that he ranks as a
"land baron" rather than a farmer.

immediate future.

THE PRQBLEMS., OF THE RETA tI
- MERCHANT-NO 9

People who were never engaged or
employed In retail trade have little
IDEA of the pains most merchants will
take to please the public. When l
lock this store up at night" says one
merchant, IT feel THAT at last my soul
is my own, and l a do what l think
is right. But there are many times
| when I have to sink nay own ems OF
fairness and justice In order to meet
the requirements of the public. In the
main people are reasonable. But
there are maHT cases Of unjust de-
Imands that are terrible irritating"
"For Instance" he continued, "a
man came in here one, day and want
ed to exchange some collars They
weren't bought Ilere nor fnAthfs town.
He had got them CIT on snne tFIP, had
brought them home, and then didn':
like them. He thought he could come
in here and get US to work them of
for him II give Rim some OF reg
ular goods in exchange" These
collars were unlike anything sold i'll
our store. They were so much cheap
ct that it would have hurt our trade
to sell them. We simply could do
nothing with them and weN told him
SO He went off huffy; and has never
been inside our store SINCE"
1--WE were under no obligation to
q TE -yD~ KUT HHErnr1
them for him, the bssts thing we could
have done would De to throw them in
the rubbish barrel and charge their
value UP to advertising. And really
as a. pure business proposition, that
would have been the thing to do The
trade of his we lost was worth much
more than a total loss on those mlser-
able collars"
The merchant went on to say that.
this illustrated how he had to deal
with many people who have no expe'
rience with business methods. A man
familiar with the ordinary avs and
ideas of business men would never ask
fo rany such exchange. The merchant
is up against it.
Whether to yield to people who
make these unbusiness like PROPOSE
tons, or, to take his stand on the es-
tablished standards of trade, and
thereby secure the dislike of the many
people without business sense, is ?
problem which bothers many stores.

PAY UP WEEK.

Some ingenious people have con-
celVed the idea of a National Pay-U2
week, to observed Feb. 21-26. wher
everyone should be exhorted to paw
his debts. The American people need
8 little prodding on this point. They
have a joyous habit of throwing bills
into the waste basket that does not
promote general business prosperity.
Not every who lets his bills go
unpaid is Indifferent about it. Many
people would gladly pay all they owe,
ecculd they collect the debts due them
But with many other persons, the more
easily they could pay, the less ready
they are to do it. 1t would make them
very tired to sit down monthly and
write off a dozen checks. By letting
the bills run. they can do it all in one
job. This saves them much hard
work. Yet they may have idle money
in banks.
Some business men allow bills to
run to save a trife or interest losing
which offend their thrifty souls. OF
course the creditor is meanwhile los
ing interest. But creitors are consid-
cred grasping creatures who have ali
the money they need.
A large percentage of the business
failures are of people who would be
perfectly solvent if they could collect
their bills.
1t is surprising how quickly a dol
lar will run around town. When you
pay that long standing bill due the
grocer. he is Immediately able to sat
isfy the teamster The latter can set
tie with the butcher, who a now pay
that old bill at the printers. So 1T
goes.
The net result is a new feeling of
confidence and good will. If a general
debt paying suction could be started
during a Pay-up Week. a great many
people would feel a new courage about
their business future. They would buy
more freely. A wave of new business
would spread over Henderson county
Let everyone do what he can toward it

Raleigh, Feb. 13.-The first move in

tribute to Colonel Grimes as a man

highest type.

One reason why the paeifsts did NOT
smix it up in debate on this occasion
was probably. the recognition of the
fact that they are weak on the bigger
navy issue. Besides, it is bad policy
to fight on ground selected by the OPP
position.
That the United States navy urgent,
ly needs more officers now, and must
be in considerable measure enlarged,
no intelligent person seriously doubts.
The proposal to allow each congress
imam to appoint three cadets to tn
naval academy, instead of two, could
hardly have been a question of serious
debate under all the circumstances.
These are the main provisions of one
OF the two bills passed.
The evidence that We need such ex-
p%enditures as those covered in the other
bills is equally overwhelming-the APP
preparation of $5OOsO0O to the more-ln ].
land-navy-yard for the establishment
of a dreadnaught building plant, and
100000 to improve the facilities of
the Brooklyn navy yard for building
dreadnaughts.
The opponents of the Presidents
naval construction plan are not very
hopeful of successfully Opposing any
OF its most important features, al
though it is almost certain that they
will make a stand against it.
But it will be when it comes to the
army program that the opponents of
adequate preparedness will find them
seIvs strongest and for obvious rea-
sons. The ever presentprejudice against
increasing the regular army must al
wGys be reckoned with and to this IS
to be added the division of sentiment
with regard TO a reserve force.
The resignation of Secretary of War
Garrison has probably marked the
passing of the Continental army
plan which he insisted upon and to-
which President Wilson found It irt-
possible to agree, along with Gnsir-
Hay of the House committees On
military affairs, and other leaders of
congress-, thus removing one element
of weakness in the adequate prepsred-
IS plan.
After making all due allowances,
the discussion in putting through the
first two measures has put spiritaht6
the fight something that is beingigrate
