A "BLOOMING" FOOL IDEA

AS the reporter trods aimfully
along the tortuous pathway of news
paperdom he stumbles across many
little obstacles to success in that field
of endeavor. One of the most COM
mon of the lot is the man 1--WE won't
put woman in this class IS we don't
want to think she is such a Gloom
ing IDIOT that stares at the reporter
as he plods on about his business.
1t is not the staring itself that is so
Objectionable, but what is generally
behind the stare. The man who is
looking so intently has something
"on his mind that he could tell the
reporter as a matter Of news, but as
it concerns himself or some mem
Der of his family he is Withholding
it, thinking that the reporter knows
of it and will ask for it. He is so
afraid it will be thought he wants ao
get his name in the paper if he vol
unteers to tell it himself.
Now such is what we call 'blam-
ed" fool idea, to say the least. The
reporter may know of it or he may
not. That kind of man-and there
are many like him-gives the report
er too much credit in thinking that he
is a mind reader and can see all that
is going on all over town at the same
time. He can only know what he
sees and hears. If he does not see
thing or no one tells him of it, it
ought not to be expected that it will
be in the paper. Yet such is the case,
for We have been told many time
that we didn't mention so and so and

New Jersey is "after' Freyling-

stigma which attaches to all New

at the proper time, asked if his IN

The determination of the president

trast to his original plan. 1t IS SAID

such and such.


1t is no easy matter to cover the
ground twice week. One can read
all the "stuff" and "bull'' in very
short space of time, and yet it takes
quite while to get it up. 1t doesn't
take so long to write it after the in
formation is at hand, but often much
time is lost in getting single little
item. For instance, We wished GER
tain information. Two different men
were asked, another man was absent
from his place of business twice when
the reporter called, and still another
person we thought knew was not at
home when phoned. The reader will
see how difficult the work sometimes
is.
Then any writer can spin out sever
al columns of an essay on a given
subject very much more quickly than
he can fill a column of small para
graphs which change the subject as
often as Websters dictionary, as a
fellow once remarked. But this is
not all reporter is up against. We
will mention only one more. instance.
One man said he wished we wouldn't
write so much, as it took him too
long to read it. Now we would like
to hearken to this, but when we fail
to DO the work we hear from that end
of the line also. Our advice to all
is, to keep kicking, kick high, but
don't knock. And by all means get
that idiotic stare out of your eye as
the reporter passes by. Give him the
news, he wants it, and will appreciate

+ 1t was a handsome compliment
that the city paid the members OF
the Carolina Concert club and their
wonderful trainer-director, Mrs. Cor
al Baker, Thursday night, in giving
them the largest and most enthusias-
tic concert audience that has assem-
Ibled in the city in years.
The chamber of commerce hall, in
it's capacity with folding doors open,
was full to overfowing with an au-

young men of the Concert club. He

a club and such an artist as Mrs. Ba-
ker, who was not only wonderful
director but the most remarkable
pianist he had heard. He called on
the audience to express its apprecla-
ticn. and this was done by rising, the
hall ringing with applause.
Throughout the evening the ap-
plause was incessant and vigorous
beautiful flowers were presented to
the ladies on the program and to
Mrs. Baker. Many numbers were
encored, but the most vigorous re-
call. was that given the Concert club
with Miss Grace Kohn and Mr.. Scott
Gibson as soloists, the selection be-
ing the Misereri, from II Trovatore.
Miss Kohn has a beautiful soprano,
lyricaily pure and true, beautifully
trained and -charmingly adapted to
opera. And she is so pretty to look
at and her stage presence is SO
charming, and it means great deal
to a singer to be pretty, for beauty
has ever been a power before the
footlights.
Mr.. Gibson whose fine tenor is be-
ing richly developed under Mrs. Ba-
ker, sang the duet with Miss Kohn
with marked beauty and effect.
The Concert club is only few
weeks old but in the way it intro
duced itself Thursday night one
would imagine it old at the game. 81

MANY SENATORS
FACING DEFEAT
Seventeen Republicans May Fail of
Reelection
Hugh w. Roberts in The State.

Hugh w. Roberts in The State.
Washington, May 17.-Of the 19
Republican senators who must face
their constituents in the elections this
fall, all but two of them, Hiram john
son of California, and Robert NJ. La
toilette of Wisconsin may suffer de-
feat.
While the Republican national
committee does not admit that either
of the 19 who are endangered will
actually be defeated, no attempt is
made to deny that all of them have
serious opposition. This state of af-
fairs, which from the Republican
standpoint is lamentable, has dis
tressed the administration, and has
prompted the president, it is said,
to abandon his first conceived idea
of remaining in dignified seclusion
as the issues are joined.
It is said that the president is not
mollifed because two of the 19 Re-
publican senator's are said to be GER
tain of reelection. Because, to the
wing of the party which the presi-
dent heads, johnson and Lefollette
are more often liabilities than assets.
1t is now taken for granted that
the president will be a factor in the
forthcoming campaigns. Of course
he will not take the stump, and he
may even refrain from making per-
sonal appeal in some of the states
where battles rage. But it is no long
ed doubted but that he will express
his appreciation Of the support of his
endangered friends and ask, when re-
quested-and to be requested is easi-
lily brought about-that they be re-
turned to congress.
AS matter of fact, the president
has already entered the lists. In At
lantic City, before repairing to the
golf links, he spoke to an assembled
multitude in behalf of Senator Ere
linghuysen, who seems to be actually
cup against it" in his struggle for
reelection. Mr.. Harding declared
that Senator Frelinghuysen was one
Of those stalworths on whom he de-
pends for the enactment of legisla-
ton deemed essential to the country,
and by adding eff you knew how nee
essary he is to me" and other similar
phrases, made what might be termed
an impassioned if not fearful appeal.
The president depends" some
times on Senator Frelinghuysen for
companionship and entertainment.
But as legislator. Senator Freling-
huysen is not and never has been
effective.
So ineffective, as a matter of fact,
is Senator Frelinghuysen when COM
pared to other "reactionaries," such
as Smoot, Lodge, Curtis, and Len
rott, that the presidents appeal caus-
ed merriment in Washington.
He has the virtue, however, of fol-
lowing the bell-weather in and under
all circumstances, and to that ex-
tent and for such reason, is. of value
to the Republican majority. His i'm

ATHENS, Dec 14.-The losses of the Armenian community in Smyrna total SIS, .000 according to a tabulation made by committee under the direction of the Bishop of Smyrna.
 Sixty million of this total is in real and personal property. and the remainder in intangible assets like stocks and bonds in Armenian com- panies operating in Asia Minor The annual income of 5000 Armenian families in Smyrna used to be ST. 800. .000, whereof 15 per cent was given to charities and to the church.

Washington, Mon tana and other states must be turned away from the Salem Indian school. according to Superintendent Harwood 9Tall. because under the government regulations they do not possess the educational qualifications that en- title them to admission to Indian schools.

CATERPILLAR SLED
 GUSTS DOG TEAMS

The day of the dog team will be numbered if a caterpillar sled can be found ito do the work of freight ing over the ice successfully, is the opinion of J. H. Yorke and w. Strong, who left for the Taku country yesterday on the gasboat Iowa, Capt. H. D. Macleod. The men are taking with them a 16-foot caterpillar sled, equipped with a 12-inch belt and a 30 horsepower Overland automobile engine.
 The sled will be used to tow trail CTS, carrying the supplies.
 No trial was made of the sled in Juneau, there being no snow and ice. Yorke and Strong are confident the sled will work successfully over the ice up the river. They have three sled dogs with them to haul freight in case the sled is not a success.
 They are going 75 miles up the Taku to their camp and expect to remain there until February

FUND IS FAVORED TO
 ERECT CAPITOL
Delegate Wires that House Committee Favors Local
 Appropriation.

The House PuDnc Buildings Com mittee is favorable to including an adequate allowance in the next pub lie buildings bill for the construc- tion of a Territorial capitol building here, accroding to telegraphic ad- vices received from Delegate Suther- land by Gov Scott C. Bone, but there is some uncertainty about the introduction of an omnibus measure during the present session of Con- gress, he said. The matter, he added, will probably be definitely decided within the next ten days.
 The House Committee, according to the Delegate, is overwhelmingly in favor of bringing in a public buildings bill. It has been indicated, however, that President Harding might ask that it defer action and a conference is expected to be held by Administration leaders within a short time to decide on a policy.
 The Delegate indicated that there is no hope that the appropriation already authorized for construction could be obtained under the existing circumstances In order to secure that fund, which amounts to S155,- GOO, he said it would be necessary to get a special act passed. This, he added, is not possible at the present time.

Skull Pierced; Woman
 Is Still Alive; Freak

NEW YORK, Dec. 14. - A half pound screwdriver which rolled of window sill on the nineteenth floor of building here landed in the center of the head of Mrs. Ella Coleman, 33 years old, and mother of five children, who lives in The Brcnx, piercing her skull and brain.
 The impact hurled her to the side- walk and her left leg instantly be- came paralyZed. But half an hour later in Bellevue Hospital she still was alive and conscious. Attendants there said her death was only mat ter of short time.
 Ernest Ray, 23 years Tod, was re- pairing windows in the building. He placed the tool upon the win dow sill from which it rolled
