Josephus Daniels, Ambassador

President Roosevelt made a
good selection when he appoint
ed Josephus Daniels Ambassa-
dor 10 Mexico. We are conf
dent that, whatever negotia-
tiOnS have TO be conducted
with the Mexican government,
Mr.. Daniels viii conduct them
with skill and tact, and that
in him will be personifed
the fair and friendly disposition
which the United States should
preserve in its dealings with the
neighbor republic beyond the
Rio Grande.
We quote with approval pass
ages from Gerald johnson s ar
ticle in the Baltimore Euening
Sun last week:
"Ambassador Daniels will take
.orders from his chief in Wash
ington and faithfully execute
them to the best of his ability.
But he will stand no hint Of die
tation from any other living be
ing on Gods foOtstool, He I'M
Iderstands discipline SO we'll that
he will carry out an order from
Washington even if he knows it
is a mistake. But let some un-
authorized person attempt to
give him even reasonable order
and he will be as stubborn as
Missouri mule.

Harbin, Manchuria, is famous

China, and most of them are
Russians.

DR.. Abernethy was respected
for his ability as physician,
and his friendly and generous
nature won him the affection Of
the people Of Chapel Hill. We
recall hearing a neighbor Of ours
say once:
When ! am sick I want DR..
Abernethy, first, because he is
good doctor and I am confident
he can make ne well if anybody
can. and then because he brings
cheerfulnesS into the room. He
treats me not merely as pa
tent but as friend
He lived in Chapel Hill nearly
80 years, and nobody else in the
village had a more intimate ac-
Quaintance with all phases Of
community life. People called
upon him to cure theiy bodily
ills. and they called upon him,
too,-knowing they would get
ready and willing response,-for
public service He did faithful
duty as health officer and mem
Der Of the school board, and he
was one Of the leaders to whom
his fellow citizens tura&d for aid
in any civic emergency He
possessed rare gifts as racon-
teur, and one Of the treasured
memories Of him is the memory
Of the pleasure that he gave, at
social gatherings, by his vivid
and humorous anecdotes about

I'm short, Josephus Daniels will
make an admirable Ambassador
to Mexico provided one condition
is met. The condition is that
the man in charge of the Mexi-
can Foreign Office shall be a per-
son Of discernment and with
touch Of hunor.
whether Daniels is in Ra-
leigh. or Washington. or Mexico
City. or Zanzibar, he will be a
Tar Heel still. He has expert
ence Of the world enough not to
thrust his ideas upon unwilling
people. He is no boor. But as
far as his own conduct is con-
cerned, his own ideas suit him
and he will follow them though
the heavens fall. He was, and
he remains, a Bryanite Demo-
crat. He was, and he re-
mains. a man Of simple tastes.
He was, and he remains, a
Tar Heel through and through.
and if the Mexicans. or anyone
else. don't like it. 50 much the
worse for the Mexicans, or any
one else.
IF honest men deal with him
honestly, he viii not only give
them square deal himself, but
he viii plead their cause passion
ately with his superiors. But if
any unscrupulous person devel-
ops the idea that because nan-
lels has the appearance Q.
simple cOuntryman, therefore
he is a Rube, that person will be
destined to rude and painful
awakening. A man doesn't run
a small-tOWn newspaper and do
battle constantly for a genera
tion against the most powerful
| financial interests in his state if
he is a simple, confding child.
JOsephus Daniels has done bust
ness with some Of the shreWdest
crooks in America and come out
unstung And once he gets the
idea that a man is trying to burn
him, then he becomes a bitter,
relentless and dangerous enemy
Of that man.
"Given half a chance, he will
make an excellent Ambass ador
in all that concerns the business
Of the office. But the embassy
might as well prepare to be dom
/ mated, during his tenure Of the
post, by the ideas, manners and
morals Of North Carolina. For
being an Ambassador isn't going
to change Josephus a whit; and
any white-spatted young orna-
ment Of the diplomatic service
who conceives the notion that
he can handle and direct the old
man is going to have rough
spin-oh, an exceedingly rough
spin"

Commencing the proposal to
lay an ad valOrem tax on for
eign" stock, O. J. Peterson says
in his paper, The Stdte'S Voice,
that the present law has
caused the investment Of so
much North Carolina money in
other states" ." But what about
the money from other states
that has been put into enter
prises in North Carolina? ?
Would it have been to our ad-
vantage if other states had en-
acted laws to prevent the in
vestments of their citizens
funds here? A large part Of
the money that has gone into
the upbuilding of our roads and
schools and factories has been
supplied from outside. North
Carolina has received far more
money than it has sent out. Why
should walls be raised to pre-
vent the free flow of capital
from one state to another?

Advocates OF laying al FdlOr-
EN- taxes on 4foreign' stock
that is, stock in corporations
outside Of North CaroIina-at
the same rates as apply to real
and personal property held with
in the state, are aiming pri-
marilv at the possessions Of the
rich. But the levy would be
cruelty oppressive upon people Of
smalls means who happen to
have some or all Of their savings
invested in corporation shares.
We explained this in our issue
Of last week. and we will not
here repeat the explanation at
length. But, for the purpose Of
clarity, let US present again the
suppositious case Of a North
Carolina citizen who draws $500
year from an Incorporated mill
in Virginia. If his shares in the
mill are assumed to have a value
Of $4,000 and if he draws $500
a year in dividends. then, under
the proposed law, he will be sub
jected to a tax of from 5000 to
$3.50, depending upon the rates
in the town and county where
he lives. If he lives in Chapel
Hill, where the combined town
and county rates come to 1922
on the 800, the tax will be 1922,
equivalent to an income tax of
around as per cent on his $500.
The levy will be much heavier in
some North Carolina communi-
ties, where the tax rates are
higher. This, while the mill in
which he owns a share is all the
while paying -ad valorem taxes in
Virginia. In short, he is rob-
bed by double taxation.
A person who has listened to
pleas for the ad valorem taxa

not given the subject much
thought, may ask the question

SIX MEN ARRESTED
IN $1,000 SHORTAGE
Tobacco Company Charges
Series of Thefts Covering
,TW0.Year Period.

Police were holding six men today in
connection with the loss of approxi-
mately $4,000 during the past two years
by the Washington Tobacco Co., 900
block Massachusetts, avenue. The loss,
police were told, was due to a system of
manipulating and destroying order
slips, thus keeping from being placed
on the company records sums of money
collected.
The six men taken into custody yes
terday are Adolph Deitz. 26, 1900 block
lespie, "a, HOO block Of Massachusetts,
Pleasant, Nd; Malcolm C. Miller, 26,

George E. De Chard, 81, 1900 block Of
Sixth street, and Floyd J. Stoner, %,
400 block of B street northeast.
Detective Sergt. H. E. Brodie said it
had not yet been decided what charges
would be placed against the men.
Stoner Is billing clerk, Brodie said,
while the five others are delivery men.
An average loss Of $50 a week during
two years has been suffered by the
company, according to Brodie. Through
the system worked out, the detective
said, certain order slips would be de-
stroyed and the money represented by
these slips not turned IN to the COM
pany. Thus, it was explained, the slips
which were turned in to the company
would check with the actual amount Of
cash turned in.
Detectives have been working for
some time in an effort to check losses
by the company. The first Of the ar
rests was made early yesterday after
non and the others followed later in
the day. Besides Brodie, other detec-
tive sergeants working on the case in

SPlEND0R OF CZARIST
REGIME IS DESCRIBED
Princess Cantacuzene Tells of Ad-
vancement of Culture Before
Geographic Society.

The splendor of the Russian imperial
court, the advancement Of Russian cul-
ture, and the happy home life of the
peasants under the Czarist regime were
described to members of the National
Geographic Society at the Washing
ton Auditorium last night by Princess
Cantacuzene, who was introduced by
DR.. Gilbert Grosvenor, president of the
society,".
Princess Cantacuzene, who was born
In the White House during the incum-
bency Of her grandfather, u. S. Grant,
married Prince Michael Cantacuzene
and spent% nearly 20 years in Russia,
where she was q close observer OF po-
ntical and economic conditions. She
made her home in the Crimea, where
her husbands family had q splendid
chateau and vast estates, until the
wholesale massacre Of the nobility and
intellectual classes took place.
A striking change has taken place
In the costumes Of the peasants since
said. The quaint costumes that once
tionS of the country, been discarded for
Western fashions, and many Of the
native home industries have been all
but destroyed Under the new regime.
Contrary to recent Soviet propaganda,
she declared, Russian farmers used
modern farming equipment in Czarist
days and many factories were equipped
with modern machinery.
The princess remarks were illustrated
by motion pictures and lantern slides
Pictures taken 20 years ago showed the
old splendor Of Leningrad, Moscow and

One.Wheel Landing
At AnacOstia Saves
Damaged Airplane
Marine Lieutenant, Re.
Gently in Nicaragua,
Ignores Parachute.

Choosing to ride his damaged plane
to a possible crash landing rather than
take to his parachute, Lieut.. William
c. Lemly, U. s. M. c., recently returned
to the United States from combat duty
in Nicaragua and now on duty in the
Navy Department, yesterday afternoon
made successful one wheel landing at
the Anacostia Naval Air Station.
Lemly was uninjured and his plane
escaped with nothing worse than slight
damage to the lower right wing tip,
which dug into the ground as the weight
of the plane fell on the damaged side
OF the undercarriage.
Returning to Washington from New
York in fast fighter, Lieut.. Lemly ar
rived over the local field when he re-
ceived frantic signals from the pilot OF
another Navy plane, who flew alongside
pointing downward.
Lieut.. Lemly discovered that q pin
had been sheared off or pulled out OF
the main landing gear strut on the
right side, allowing the whole side of
the undercarTiage to drop out Of place.
The flying field was cleared and prep
arations made for crash landing as
Lemly flew over the station several
times to give warning of his intention
to land.
Lieut.. Lemly landed with the left wing
low so as to put all the weight on the
uninjured left side Of his undercarriage
As the plane lost speed, however, the
right wing dropped, dug into the ground
and threw the plane into fast ground
loop" Lieut.. Lemly had handled the
landing so skilfully, however, that he
had killed great part of his forward
speed when the wing struck and the
plane did not turn over.
Lieut.. Lenly returned to his desk in
the Navy Department today, but said
nothing about the incident, which was
unknown to Navy officials until a re-
port was received from the field.
