been requested to contribute the sum
of $3.50 towards the fund for the

The fund is growing, but the time
is short before the contributions from

the memorial committee. The I'M
yelling and dedication of this tablet,
August 25 Of this year, will be a
noteworthy event in North Carolina.
Names quota towards the project Is

SOME PAGES FROM \ MODERN ATHENS

The St, PeterSburg, Ia, llTles u Sunday, March 22, is at hand. Only 172 pages, or 1876 columns, count em. A "Festival of the States" was to be given In the coming great city of St. Petersburg and the news paper naturally took leading role in the effort to show the world what St. Petersburg could do.
 Those who studied the geography of Florida 80 years ago will be sur prised to note some vivid changes. "A City of Beautiful Homes, Broad Avenues" is one S-column heading. Another: Tourist Groups Playing Big Role in St. Petersburg Life'' Another: "Floridas Baby City Seems Destined to Become Great" -- and from this we learn that MT. Bab- son. the famous statistician, has sliced a nne park out of Polk county, which striking headline informs us is the richest, per cap ita, in the country
 Another bit of information via the headlines shows that bathing' hoating and fishing lure northerner6 who need thawing out, snappy pie fures of bathing girls in one-piece costumes helping to attract the eye to the story A birds eye view Of the city is captioned by the opu- n,istic flare that "$1&5,000,0OO in BuiIding is Predicted for FlVe yaars" - indicating that the Bab- hits of the town look ahead and can see further than the turn in the road, The social page tells us that "Dahios Thrive in Healthy Climate of Sunshine City" thus eNertLng a lure to the women folk. An intrigu- ing headline says Open Air Post office Attracts Nationwide Com ~mcnt" - although this is the first lime if bae been heard of in Ne" Britain. The Chamber of Commerce annoars 10 he one of the biggest industries in the town, and We learn that inc St. Petersburg chamber Is "Onc of Five Largest in the Ma lion" Among the pictures which e,hov each other underneath the headline is that of the woman secre' tary.
 The finer things of life are not forgotten. either big heading lJazoning forth that "l925 Will be Greatest Year in City Religious An nars" and that Church Ediaces Second to None Are Being Built. Pictures of a vast new Baptist iem' ,,o and Catholic church indicates that there is considerable to the claims put forth.
 A fly in the ointment of this nn' cxampIed prosperity however a.p' hears on the very first page of tho nublication.

THE INDICTMENTS AGAINST WHEELER

If Senator Wheeler Of Montana has been guilty Of illegal conduct in connection with oil leases in Mon tana he most certainly Is entitled to punishment. But the proceedings tnstigated in Washington by the Department of Justice will be looked upon by most observers with suspi- cion--at least the tendency will be to regard the department as much on trial as the senator. If the de- partment fails 10 sustain It's case the public will conclude that the in- dictments were brought out of a spirit Of malice or punishment.
 The indictment of yesterday comes in spite of his exoncratlon by the Senate following an investigation recently. The public naturally will conclude that either the Senate committee white washed him or the department of justice is playing poli- ties In pressing the charges after what has transpired..
 Such charges should not be made upon any flimsy foundation. It costs the officials of the department of justice nothing to indulge in play boy judicial politics; it will cost the senator fair slice of money to de- fend himself.
 The evidence at the trial and the result thereof will give a fair indi- cation whether the department is sincere in its offensive against the Senator. If the government shows itself to have chased a red herring the public will know what to think Of the new attorney general to sup pement what it probably already thinks of the methods Of the De- partment of Justice from the time Daughorty gave it the black eye.

REGULATING THE PARKING
 OF JITNEYS

Chief of Police Hart doesn't think the jitney and trolley nuisance at the Center is acute, according to his statement 10 city officials. This is altogether a matter of opinion Doubtless the chief thinks the traffic squad has the situation well in hand, and from this point of view there is not yet a caamitous tangle at the city's heart. But some of the city officials, in common with some others. have been alarmed at the conditions-which might be worse and also better-and have been at tempting to think up improvements In these efforts they are to be com mended. It is not question of how good the traffic squad is performing.
 It would appear from the state ments of several merchants that they are not averse to having jitneys stop for short intervals at designated spots in front or near their places of business, which removes what was occasionally deemed source oi possible objection. One can readily understand the merchants view point. A jitney using the space in front of a store as a terminal brings people into contact with the store windows. They cannot help noticing the displays; and it is good adver- Using to have it said that a certain titney parks in front or near ccr- tain store or stores, Where m'r- chant, city, and the public arc sa'is- fed respecting such an expodient there is little additional 10 be said except that traffic difficulties are not eliminated.
 The plan 10 cut off piece ot lh' west side Of the Center happily seems discarded. The idea Of a gen eral terminal or shelter for patrons Of the transportation systems ap' pears to meet with unanimous ap' proval, except nobody knows where to nut it. Unfortunately this is tho crux of the entire difficulty and witt it unsolved no amount of agreement on other details will avail The ac count of the Springfield system a! carried in these columns yesjerda! should at least be mildly suggestive for a future blending of the wish '' nerform and the ability 10 execute
