There is a possi- bility, however, that the build- ing will not dry sufficiently to apply any paint before the dedication. The committee Is ready to proceed if Old Man Weather will permit.
 The rainy weather of late has confirmed one fact and that Is that matched roofs shed water as well as the mod efn singled roofs. They dry almost as quickly, too. There are four thatched-roof cot- 'tages at the settlement - Irish. Polish, Lithuanian and Russian.

GOVERNMENT BY PRESSURE

-. ~. !: L II {.
. In the congress at Washington is a hue and cry
about lobbyists and propaganda There is no ques-
ton that there is plenty of both There is no ques
ton that great deal Of the propaganda is skill
fully handled by officers of government The worst
of it is that the threat of pressure is voiced not
always discreetly Because of this pressure bills
which are unconstitutional continue to pass through
the hoppers of the legislative machinery in Wash
ington. 90 -. .''. is-.
Most of the members of the American congress
believe that their constituents look to them for re-
suits and by results they mean gifts, grants and
loans from the United States treasury. The much
lambasted "po'k barHs' of other years pale into
sickly insigniicance beside the New Deals hogs
heads of oozng fat. Most of the congressman are
struggling to get maximum out of these hogs
heads Out of these hogsheads come pressure. Vote
wrong and draw nothing.
The American political system at this time is
Ubiquitous. The congress does as it is told to do
however opposed the majority is to many Of the
schemes The majority lacks the courage to resist
the pressure 1t fears for the political effect on
itself. 1t does not bother to learn whether meas
ures are constitutional; it nothing that they
are unconstitutional. 1t has been told what to do
and it strives to please.
This American constitution is no perfect docu-
ment 1t has many imperfeetions, butt patched
though it may ge, it stands between the average
citizen and tyranny between surviving rights and
government by PRESSURE Politicians with the itch
for complete power would do away with the con-
stitution They much prefer to go forward with
government by pressure Lawless legislation breeds
a awless people. Government by pressure is law
less.-Charleston News and Courier.

COVERING UP ATTRACTIONS OF THE
LAW go,

GoldsbOrO NewS-ArguS tells about /
prominent man of that city who was locked
in jail. No report of the matter appeared
in the paper, for which its management IS
being criticised.
The News-Argus explains that no case
was made against Mr.. Prominent Citizen,
no official record was made, and no for
NAL action was taken. The newspaper
would have been taking chance on IL
bel action, probably, if it had handled the
matter in its news columns. City officials,
who appear to have been attempting to
shield Mr.. Prominent Citizen from the con-
sequences of violating the law, would be
slow to back the News-Argus in a case OF
that kind, which if established in favor OF
the newspaper, would certainly carry dl-
rect condemnation of the action of the Of
ficials.
The News-Argus was simply taking a
prudent course in refusing to make an
opening for a libel suit. The responsibility
rests upon the officials, and not upon the
newspaper. If Mr.. Prominent Citizen vio=
lated the law and was locked up, ne should
have been brought into court, tried and
punished. 1t was the duty of the city's
officials to see to that, not the duty OF the
newspaper.
Newspapers frequently have trouble IN
getting news for publication, where there
is the purpose to cover up and keep it out
of the papers; and, some times, public Of
fcials have been known to connive VITA
law-breakers in the attempt to circumvent
the reporters. Some times the effort to
show favor to an individual is similar to
the Goldsboro case; in other cases it IS
merely an attempt to prevent the publish
ing of court news. In either case the effort
is not always made in behalf of Promi-
nent Citizen, but is frequently in the at
tempt to show special favors to citizens Of
little prominence-hut, of course, there is
always a reason for such action by public
officials.

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
SENTIMENT NOT so CHANGED

Tho News and Observer did thorough piece
If reporting in its Sundays issue which published
the result of the elections in the nine Eastern
Carolina counties. These nine Joined six more that
had voted wet and will have what is commonly
called the controlled sale" of liquor.
The News and Observer dug up returns from
the 1882 statewide referendum. Every county thst
voted wet last Saturday had voted 'for repeal" in
1882, except Nash In other words there has not
been the change of sentiment with reference to
liquor that many people suppose. The nine coun-
ties that joined the wet column last Saturday are
only voting as they did in 1882 when the state
Republicans and Democrats participating in the
referendum, voted dry by $4,000 majority
The shift of sentiment in Nash which voted dry
in 1882 and wet last Saturday is explained by the
fact that Edgecombe had already voted for liquor
stores and these two counties are contiguous. TIE
largest city in the two, counties is Rocky Mount
Through main street runs the county line. Legal
liquor stores had opened one side vi the street
but across the street was dry territory .'.
There has been some change of sentiment with
reference to the, liquor problem in North Carolina
but not a complete reversal The East has been
wet in sentiment, the West maintaining dry at

AFTER SENATOR BYRNEs' SCALP

Col William c. Harllee, of Dillon, re-
tired lighting colonel of the United States
Marines, has announced that he will or
pose U. S. Senator James F. Byrnes for the
nomination in South Carolina. Col. Harllee
announces that he will run as straight
out, old line Democrat"
The Associated Press quotes Col. Harl-
lee at some length as to his political and
economic views and it is thereby indicated
that many present day South Carolinians
will doubtless fail to recognize or approve
the brand of Democracy professed and
advocated by Col Harllee. In fact the
Coloneps brand of Democracy is now
Strange doctrine in all the Southern States.
Be that as it may, however the interest
ing fact is established that Senator Byrnes,
one of President Roesevelt's most enthusi-
astic supporters, is going to. have opposi-
ton next year in his contest for reelection,
In fact,-even at this early date, it is per-
fectly plain that the Senator is going to
have abundance of opposition. .s
Cole Blease has announced that if the
lob of opposing Senator Byrnes is left open,
he will accept it. That, in Cole Blease's
case, is just about equivalent to definite
announcement of intentions; but it is GER
tain that Blease and Col. Harllee will be
joined by others seeking the seat of Sen
ator Byrnes.

able to Byrnes' denomination. but it can

that city.
So a privately-owned public
utility which was fighting the
bond issue, formed a large organ
ization of outside jewellers who
collectively purchased a. cheap
city lot and voted "nO" on the
bond issue.
Trickery is treated with too
much dignity and consideration in
the affairs of this nation. Fool
technicalitieS like the one just de-
scribed are solemnly permitted to
block the wheels of progress and
circumvent the operation Of COM
mon decency.
Probably there is no civilized
nation in the world except ours
that would countenance the twist
ing, the distorting, the ignoring
and the ridiculous enforcing of
laws, as we do. Common sense
and integrity seem largely to have
been discarded in the application
of law in this country. Again we
can understand what Chief JUS
tice Taft meant when he said that
the administration of justice in
the United States was a disgrace
to civilization. THE law" says
Mr.. Bundle, 'is a ass"
Anyhow, the bond issue carried

CUT OUT THE FOUL STUFF

No man of sense uses coarse and filthy words in
political discussion. In the United States are mil
lions of decent of every class and shade of
political opinion, and all of them will be disguised
with the language of Louisiana's, Senator Long
about the president. .'.'
The News and Courier holds that in this Demo-
cratic land the president is no more immune from
adverse criticism if one choose to employ it about
him than is any other citizen in office. No pres-
dent wears halo in the eyes of The News and
Courier. The News and Courier is a Jeffersonian
Democrat ,- ..' '...'.
For the use of vulgar and vtuperative language
about senator, sheriff, coroner, a president,
is no possible excuse. Every state is ashamed for
Louisiana. s.-.-~.-. .raa..-. ,-rr., ..-.. -
Discreditable facts about president, if any, or
other man in office may be put into words, often
they should be- without resort to billingsgate. AL

LET'S TRY HORSE SENSE
By WICKES WAMBOLDT

Anybody answering the phone
may think that somebody was
trying to get that number, but
was prevented from doing so by
the inefficiency of the telephone
exchange.
Now there are a number of le-
ultimate reasons why your phone
may ring and you find no one
there when you take off the re-
ceiver except the operator, who
asks you to excuse it, please"
For instance, a person may call
number, then discover he has
made a mistake in the number; he
hangs up.
A person may call a number
and suddenly decide he does not
want to talk to that number at
that time: he hangs up.
A person may call a number,
then be interrupted and not have
time to talk; he hangs up.
When the telephone rings and
there is no one on the line, it
usually is nothing to bother
about.

SEES COUNTRY RETURNING TO SANITY

If the confidence now felt is to be justified, 1t
must be by the dgnifed refusal of the American
people to be persuaded that by some magiciar's
wand the, economic laws can be reversed, nullihed
or re-enacted in some new form: l believe the
thinking people of the United States are coming,
or have already come, to clearer and wiser real
ization of their own responsibilities and their real
opportunities As rapidly as the signs of the polit-
cal skies changed in 1895 they seem likely to
change again before November, 1886. And this
change, If it comes, will not be wrought by the
eloquence of one man or the cunning devices of
any political party. It will come through the awak
ening already happily indicated and eneouragingly
manifested, Of the thought of the people, not a
mass, but as, individuals; not seetionaly by
hloes, but as all-embracing and nation-wide.-

a complete program for spending
its share; $250,000,0O0 for Ickes'
slum-clearance and housing prof.
ects-which Ickes lieutenants say
are seriously delayed since real
estate spectators were tipped off
by DAI as to probable sites.
Then there are $10O,O00,OO0 to
