LATCHsTRING OUT

The hope of having President ROOSEVELT as
a fishing guest at Wilmington and Southport
is stimulated by transmission to the Chief
Executive of the Brunswick County Cham
r. REYNOLDS.
The President has frequently fished the
Caribbean, the Gulf of Mexico and the At
lantic off Florida. He would widen his ex.
perience and possibly even find a new thrill
if he tried his hand off the coast hereabouts.
And he would afford us an enviable and
coveted opportunity to show him a good time.
Incidentally, these waters have not been
fished as hard as those Of his previous south.
ern expeditions. The chances would all be in
his favor for luck and fun.

GOOD NEWS

d Two items Of news from Raleigh are well
calculated to comfort every North Carolinian.
One Is that the governor has a~llocated five
million dollars for highway work. The other
is that no highway money will be diverted
to other uses this year.
That so large a sum is to go into improy.
ing both primary and secondary roads is
gratifying. They need to be worked on, and
the need is great. The best of our highways
is none too good. Greater width is essential
because Of the increasing traffic burden,
Curves are too frequent and too sharp, as
the engineer department has said.
The secondary roads, badly damaged by
last winters storms, deserve all the work that
can be done on them. Those who dwell along
their length, and all others who must drive
over them, will welcome the program made
possible by the governors action.
1t the Old River road Is included in the
projects to be undertaken there will be loud
hozannahs from everybody in New Hanover
and Brunswick counties. The Chamber of
Commerce could do a fine piece of work by
going to bat for it.
BY removing the threat of highway fund
diversion, Governor HoEY has given occasion
Tor statewide rejoicing.

Bladen And Pender Are

KELLY, April 5 - A forest fire,
Its origin as yet undetermined,
swept a large section of the Lyon

Thursday, destroying a large area
of timber in both Bladen and Pender
counties.

pected to reach in the thousands OF
dollars.

A USELESS TEMPEST

We find it hard to get hot and bothered,
as some of the senators did, because On
tario's attorney general, GORDON CoNANT, said
in an address to his own people that Cana
dams should do all they can to "enlist the
active support of the United States in the
cause of the Allies"
Naturally Canada wants this c%ountry's help.
The armies and resources of the United
States would have a tremendous influence on
the war abroad. Possibly it would be a de.
Gliding influence, assuring victory for the
Allies.
And it is equally natural that a Canadian
official should put that desire into words.
Free speech is one Of Canada's privileges, as
well as ours. There is nothing in the fact
that a high provincial official speaks out
in meeting on a subject close to the heart of
every Canadian to stir a tempest in the sen.
ate at Washington.
Nor Is there any good reason for a mem.
Der Of that august group, particularly a
young member, still unseasoned, like Mr..
HOLT of West Virginia, to claim it stemmed
from our minister's untimely public Aeclara-
ton of sympathy for the Allies. Mr.. GROIN
WELL, like Mr.. HOLT, is new to his job and
has not learned the value Of silence. He was
guilty of an indiscretion, and was properly
rebuked. But Mr.. HOLT is equally indiscreet
and merits rebuke as much.
There is no more reason to resent MI
CoNANT's speech than to make an outcry
when the child of the family demands sweet
potatoes instead of spinach.

ihere Is an opinion in this country that the
american tradition of freedom of the mind has
peeh sorely shocked and violated by the COM
mana OF the courts that Dr.. Bertrand Russell
shall not be allowed to teach in the City Col
lege of New York.
Ans OPINION rests upon the premise that the

ously sought to safeguard this elemental prin-

FOR TRUCK FARMERS

North Carolina has a strong delegation in
Washington in the interest of truck growers.
With cooperation from senators and members
of the house, it is reasonable to expect the
visit to the national capital to be fruitful.
Complaint is made that because of the cur.
ta1lment of the tobacco acreage and more
and more cotton planters turning to new
crops, the vegetable output of the state is
in danger of overproduction, and that if there
Is no revision of present acreage allotments
the growers Of truck will go up against a
season of heavy loss. Effort is directed to
restore the 1887 and 1888 acreage and to in
crease the withdrawal payments which are
now said to be far below the rate on com.
peting crops.
Surely there is nothing in this that the
agricultural department can find unreasonable
or unjust. Certainly the department is inter.
ested in seeing all farmers given equal ad.
Vantages. It's support should be a foregone

'ne North Carolina delegation by which truck
growers will receive the sam treatment as
