PROGRESS IN FAILURE"

A leading preacher and pastor in a large and
leading religious denomination in one of the great
cities of the country has resigned his office and
retired from the miniStry-as protest against the
prevailing methods of the churches of the order 20
which he has belonged
We do not need to identify either the IN OF
the church organization He and the step he has
taken are typical of what men in his position ami
under the influence of strong conviction OF right
and the need of the hour have been doing, in one
way or another, all down through the ages ever
since there have been churches.
This preachers conclusion that 1.-THE Gospel has
not failed. but the church has failed,' has been
repeated in the minds of men of many sorts thru
full nineteen centuries.
But while it undoubtedly means stern conVc-
ton of desperate need. it is probable that, along
with what these men have been moved to do from
time to time under the influence of that convic-
ton it means still more the steady growth and
progress of the church toward its great objective
the salvation of the race from the evil within.
Whether resignation and withdrawal is the pro-
per method of protest in such case does not par
ticularly concern us. Reformation, however, ant
cure must come from within
But whether one stays within or without the
church the question of the success or failure OF
this great organization for the promotion Of the
moral and spiritual life of the people is Of vital
concern to all of us-Goldsboro News-ArguS.

port. The evidence is convincing. By way of sum-
mary, The Journal declares that whatever the re-
action elsewhere, and irrespective of any question
of whether the change is natural and permanent
or artificial and transient the facts unmista!-
able that 10 months of the New Deal have wrought
a revivifying transformation on 2OOOO,OOO persons
making up the population of the South, especially
on the 10000, 900 directly dependent on the raw
cotton industry
The reports to The Journal were Unanimous
to the effect that 100000 cotton farmers of the
South raised their cotton cheaper in 1888. got
better price for it, borrowed less money to make
the crop, and for the first time in probably more
than decade have had cash to call their own and
to spend accordingly. In Texas this available cash
amounted to $3.50
The Journal heads its report with one from
Charlotte, which paramounts as factor of ma
terial benefit in improving general business in this
section the improved cash position" of the farm
erS particularly the cotton farmers. 1t Is estmat-
ed here that farm incomes are approximately twice
as great as they were last fall This has ALREADY
been reflected in increased retail buying by the
farmers President Roosevelt always had in mind

INCREASED NEWSPAPER READING

Newspaper reading, along with that OF maya
zines constituted the chief diversion Of 5000 per
sons to whom a QUESTIONABLE was sent by the Ma
tional Recreation Commission to ascertain what
they did with themselves when they were not work

In other words. what form of enterprise took
shape with them during the period when they were
utilizing what once may have been falsely termed
the waste-tme of the idle.
That they are reading the newspapers IS heal
thy and wholesome sign, provided they are reading
the right sort.
The high-minded modern newspaper Is worthy
of their devotions and meditatons 1t will give
them profit during their leisure hours, for 1t Is
nbundantly filled not only with the historical mar
ratives of contemporary society, but with reading
material and features of such muItiform phases
that their appeal today is increasingly more uni

And so it will be in the future to a much greater
extent than it is even today. The newspaper Will

Cottage OF Poe
Becomes Shrine

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. II. -
CUP). - The little rose-covercd
cottage where Edgar Allen Poe
write many Of his stories is fast
becoming a national literary
shine.
Restored to the condition it
was in when Poe lived in Phila-
delphia through the generosity Of
Richard Gimbel, the little house
on Seventh street is attracting
hundreds Of lovers Of Poe.
The cottage, occupied by sew
cIal tenants since Poe's time. was
purchased several years ago by
Gimbel. He had the electrical
fixtures removed and all the i'm
provements Of the 10th century
taken from the house. Old furni-
ture, used by Poe and his girl
wife, Virginia, replaced the. mid
Victorian furniture OF "a later
date and gave the cottage the APP
pearance Of the days when the
brilliant writer toiIed over the
script Of "The Raven "The
Gold Bug" "Annabelle Lee"
"Murdcrs in the Rue Morgue"
and others Of the stories which
gave him a permanent place in
the literature Of the world.
Even the rose garden in the
rear has been restored, replanted
with the same type bushes and
flowers that bioOmed when Poe
lived there.
Poe'S desk, a makeshift affair,
gives mute testimony to his pow
erty. 1t is crude and appears to
have been an Old table with pig
con-hoieS and a back added from
packing boxes.

No Water Rate Increase.

Subordinate officials in charge of
the District Water Department have
not learned the lesson taught by the
water surplus Of the past few years.
This surplus was created as the result
OF a boost in water taxes which Con-
gress would not spend. Water De-
partment oficials, in other words,
were unable to convince Congress that
the improvements they asked for were
necessary. They had gone to Con-
gresS before and pried a water tax
raise out of District residents and
then were not allowed to spend 1t.
Last year, more as the result Of
convincing arguments by citizens than
efforts by the municipal authorities
some of whom seem to have a peculiar
aversion to reducing tax burdens-the
water tax was cut, and by means Of
this reduction the surplus Of unspent
money will disappear and taxpayers
will be granted the modicum of tax
relief they deserve.
Yet in the list Of preliminary 1896
estimates just submitted to the Com
missioners there appear the same
stereotyped arguments for higher
taxes from the water rent payers, and
khe same improvements that Congress

1t is rather a shame that this city,
in which for so many years the finest
principles of what was known as
| Southern courtesy held so prominent
a place, should give in at last to the
| innate hog in human nature.
The end seat hog, once prominently
discussed. is still in existence. He sits
at the left end of the front seat Of
the modern automobile.
And, If one pedestrian can believe
other automobile drivers, he sits rather
more like a pig while driving in the
District of Columbia than elsewhere.
1t may be that the lack of the
franchise here gives rise, in many q
mind, to q sort Of inferiority complex.
which, in its turn, results in q chip
1.-THE shoulder attitude, an inner
feeling of I'll show 'em" at all costs.
Well, they show us, on every street,
at every hour Of the day and night.
And If we do not step lively, and
II we do not try to figure out what
other drivers will do-not what they
seem to be going to do, but what they
have in the backs Of their minds
we will be struck, whether afoot or
driving q car.
AS one observer sees it, there are
three elements to the traffic problem:
l. The human mind.
2. The cars.
3. The streets.
Nobody ever yet comprehended the
| human mind, in all its vagaries, that
Is why no one can exactly solve the
traffic problem by taking thought.
White cars with big loud-speakers,
and courtesy weeks, and the like, are
good attempts, but they are trying
to deal with the human mind, and
that is a problem, indeed.
It is this human mind, in the last
essence, which is driving the cars.
1t is not Jim Smiths hands, so
much as Jim Smiths mind.
You can tag Smith when he drives
the wrong way on one-way street,
but can you tag his mind?
We saw q blue-coated John Law
sitting beside q driver of small pri-
| vate express truck. He was taking
him down, evidently, for violating the
One-Way TeSuldtlOu OIl pucy 4WCACAGIAA
street in the morning.
And one knew, or thought he knew,
as he watched, that the driver was
fuming inwardly, feeling that he was
wronged by the officer.
No man is wrong, in his own mind,
no matter how much he admits his
guilt.
Well, that Is the first hurdle, and
| a most difficult one for law and order
to get over.
Then come the cars and the streets.
The streets are not wide enough for
the number Of cars. There are too
many cars for the size of the streets.
Put 1t any way you please, the way
anybody pleases. ANY way you make

The only way out Is to drive slower,
and more carefully

We can hear the big laugh at that,

the tax increase.
Improvements in the water system
may be more urgently necessary than
Congress was willing to grant. But
before higher water taxes are recon-
mended the municipal authorities
should be sure that the improvements
for which they argue can be justified
in the eyes of Congress. II they are,
then increased rates to cover these

to do 1t.
