be: eve fit you out from belly to back"
But laying all jokes aside, this new
venture of Mr. Gilbert is but the begin
ming of a chain of stores which he plans
to establish in other towns. He al
ready has several other locations in
view.

Ger W. P. Comstock rendered his res

week that Officer Comstock contributed
to the double murder and suicide by
failure to properly guard the women

The Aldermen are cautious in dealin,
with Mr.. AydIett. He has his friends
on the Board and there are others on
the Board who are afraid of him. But
those who are interested in the pro-
posed 100000 bond issue for the city :

lett is off that school board. There Is
cute little provision in the bond BIZ

School Trustees If Mr. Aydlett holds
his office it will be his fac simile sigma
warns the Aldermen and the tax pay
ers OF this city that their entire bond
issue will be declared invalid if Mr..
Aydlett's signature goes on those bonds.
Mr.. Aydeltt may contend that he knows
more law than this newspaper. But
can the Board of Aldermen of Eliza
beth City afford to take chances and
jeopardize the school interests of this
city thru fear of offending a man who
is known to be openly hostile to the
expenditure of any considerable sum in
school improvements? The further ac-
ton of the Aldermen in the case of Mr..
Aydlett will be watched with interest.
Mr. Aydlett could save an embarras-
sing situation and put himself in bet
ter light with his home people by doing
just as Mr.. Cohoon has done in the
rcumstances-tender his resignation
and be done with it. But Mr.. Aydlett
does not so readily relinquish thing

In speaking before the World ALI

"Instead OF humble spirit and a
realization OF the responsibilities
which are inseparable from great
opportunities We have been proud,
vain and inclined to regard as our
interiors, oil those Of different
race or religion" Mr.. Parker said.
I'VE have set ourselves up as
superior beings, not in the same
manner as the Germans, but in a
way that was almost as offensive.
Our religion, our government, our
economic system, our schools,
everything that is ours, we admit
are superior to anything in the
whole wide world, and If others
doubt it we are ready to attempt
TO prove It in a manner that US
ually earns us their suspicion and

their own selfish purposes.
The presence Of the compara-
tifely email number Of japanese

no just cause for complaint, but It
has been made the besiS Of , race
prejudice appeal -. According
to the United States census report
Of 1921, sthe japanese In California
number about 10000 and constitute
20 per cent Of the population. They
own or lease about l60, 900 acres Of
land out Of . total Of $4,000, 80
acres. This represents 4 OF one
per cent Of the total land area and
l.6 per cent Of the available farm
land.
Their industry and ability Is At
tested by the fact that they. pro-
duced from one and six-tenths per
cent OF the farm land more than 10
per cent Of the agricultural prod
ucts OF the state. Their respect for
law and order is shown by the fact
that their crime record is lower
than a like number of any other
nationality, including the Ameri-
cans.
IF equally, distributed over the
state, this would be more than two
square miles of territory for every
Japanese and with the voluntary
stopping of the coming of picture
brides by the Japanese govern
ment last year, the departures
promise to be greater, for the fiscal
year ending next June, than the ar
rivals.

for solution of this question are

2 DETECTIVES CLEARED
OF TAKING GRATUITIES
Andrews and Scott Likely to
Rejoin Force.

Judge Mcintyre in General Sessions
yesterday dismissed indictments against
Detectives George J. Andrews and
George Scott, former members of the
automobile squad, who were charged
with accepting gratuities. George N.
Brothers. Assistant District Attorney. in
moving dismissal Of the cases called at
tention to ruling Of Judge Talley that
the testimony of a man who has given a
gratuity is that of an accomplice and
cannot be accepted unless corroborated
by a witness.
Andrews was alleged to have accepted
800 for the recovery of an automobile
and Scott $50. Brothers said Scott had
complied with the rules by turning over
half Of the sum to the police pension
fund. The detectives were indicted last
January. At that time Andrews also
was indicted with Chief Inspector
Lahey. but this indictment was die
missed. Scott and Andrews have been
under suspension. but it Is expected they
will be restored to the force at once.
