TWO DOORS Of HOPE

The General Assembly Of 1871
saw fit in les wisdom to submit t.
the people of the State two CoDgti,
tutional ameldn4nts The hrSt
amendment will secure to every
child in the. State an opportunity
to attend puGlic school six months
in the year. This increases tie op,
per unity OF the child for education
just fifty per cent. 1t IS hard C
believe that any man in the State
would be willing to deny TO little
children this larger opportunity tc
develop all the facilities with whicI
the Creator has endowed him.
The second amendment provides
that notes and mortgages given in
good faith for the purchase price of
. home, wnen said purchase price
Goes not exceed three thousand
dollars, and said notes ard mort
cages run for at least five years and
do not carry a rate of interest ex-
ceeding five and one. half per cent,
snail be free from taxation.
The manifest purpose of this
amendment is to enable poor man
TO borrow money at low rate OF
- interest, and on long time, with
~ which to buy home. The adop-
tion OF this amendment will enable
every honest, industrious and eco
nomical citizen to become a home
owner. j.
The amendment is in line with
d. the Inaugural Address Of Governor
Beckett, in which he said Il shall
neither rest nor permit the State to
rest, until every honest, industrious
:. ana frugal man who tills the soil
has decent chance to own it."
The amendment applies to the
home in the country, or the home
in the town. 1t is absolutely non
partisan in character, and has befn
endorsed by the North Caroline
FreSs Association, by the Farmers
yention, and by a host OF mer
who have devoted study to this
problem.

Washington. March 4-Militarv ac-
ton by Japan in eastern Siberia to
check German influence and protect
war stores at Vladivostok is believed
here to be imminent. The United States
has not yet expressed its views on the
proposed step, but it was said in dip
lomatic quarters tonight that the Japa-
nese probably would move quickly TO
meet emergency conditions, leaving TO
the pending diplomatic exchanges de-

America and with the Allies upon the
scope and purpose of the enterprise.
Germany to Occupy All Finland
While it has no direct bearing on
the situation in -Asiatic Russia the
news which came today to the Swed
ish legation that Germany has given
notice of her intention to occupy the
whole of Finland will tend to hasten
an agreement upon Japan's plans. The
, German explanation to the Swedish
foreign office which has protested
, against the proceedings that the order
is to restore order and without in
, tent to take permanent possession Is
regarded as a very clear indication OF
what the Teutons may undertake in
any part of Russia now that the Boil
sheyiki have been forced to accept their
! hard peace demands
! Officials and diplomats here profess g-
norance of what prepare tons have been
made by Japan for the operations about
to De undertaken As matter Of course
secrecy has been observed and strict
Ger sorship in regard to the Siberian ques-
ton is in force at Toxic Possibly the
next word to come out of Japan on the
subject will be an announcement Of some
thing accomplished,
IL this connection it is recalled that at
thu beginning of the Russo-Japanese war
the Japanese acted without heralding.
Before there was any such formality as
declaration OF war a Russian fleet tad
been smashed and the war was half Won.
1t has been stated in official quarters
