A FAILURE OF THE ALLIES Tho failure- of the allied forces In their campaign ugainst the Dardanel les has caused u mighty undercur rent of dissatisfaction among the people back ut home, and tiio propo- j Billon hnB boon seriously made In thc houae of lords ul London to abandon the siege'. The struggle there haB been gol":.' on for many months, und no substantial results buvc been ac complished although thc loss In kill ed anti wounded to thc nilled armies bus been more than un?: hundred thou sand, tn say nothing of thc immense money cost ami thc loss of valuable battleships. Tlifrc ls a belief nt home, especial ly muong the people from whom thc HO url fleed soldiers were recruited, ihat tiie lives of the men in the army were In many cases uselessly wasted, and not u little Indignation has been expressed against thc British general in command of the campaign, who has nov/ been recul led. Admiral Malian, ono of thu greatest ..unitary experts of the world, years *KO laid down this principle uf naval .iirntcgy: "Oblps are unequally matched against forts. Just as cavalry and ln 'antry arc not equal, either to the ?tiler, in the other's proper sphere. V ship cnn nu moro stand up against i fort costin;; tho samo money than '.lie fort could run u ruco with the ?hip. Tho quality of the ono ls pon .'erou'MicBB, enabling great passive strength; that of tho other is mobil ity." Tho correctness of tho opinion of Admiral Malian, whose services havo 'jecn of great value to tho United rftatcs, has been amply proven In nvontY of the present war. Much was expected of tho mighty armada, sent igainut the Dardanelles and headed by ?hu Bupcrdrcndunught, Queen .Eliza beth, but tho big guns of tho naval licet have done comparatively little in reducing the Turkish forts. Tho vos sels have been hampered, too, by Hoot ing mines. In fnct, tho importance of Ibcso floating minc fields tc the routonlc cause cannot bo well over estimated, for, without, their menace, tho forts might not havo proven im pregnable to tho assaults of tho big naval guns. Whuiioycr thc ships havo tried lo dash In and Inflict hoavy dain SjjSriJicy have met resistance, and frequently* destruction, by floating mines. *"""* In tho ul?go of Port Arthur during the tljt bet ween Russia and Japan, nnd .also In thc capture of Santiago in cur war with spain, lt was shown (lint coast fortresses^'ar? in"greater ?langer, of. capture by land forces than foy tho-* ' ?rom tho sea. It lr, easy to seo that no vessel, however large, con ?;nrry nu heavy ordnance and a3 for ailluldc armor OB the land defense. Th's inequality has been mado great ar tinco that time by tho addition of thc submarino monaco to. battleships, .md so lt ls hardly probable that tho mips now arrayed ugalnst the forts encircling tho Dardanelles ran do any grout good in breaking the stubborn resistance. With tho failure of tho licet, tile strength of thc army will bo lessened, md so tho tldo of resistance all along tho allied line will begin to ebb, it is roared. The failure of tho Dardanel les campaign will bo heightened now by tho necessity of deflecting many troops to tho Servian front whoro the ?cod IB greatest. The Teutonic pow ita aro not tho only ones who havo reached a critical point In the war. ?'he other side Is fucing tho same .risls, and it looks as if events are rapidly shaping themselves for some thing vory decisive in this unparal leled world struggle. TUE GRAVEYARD OF AMBITION It has been a tradition of 'American million that tho United States cell ito is tho graveyard of presidential is>d rations, and tho experience ? of statesmen in tho past who have .ought to reach ihe presidency ty ivny of the upper house of congress jives strength to this argument. Tho inly senator who evor achieved his unbition in tho last half century was um j ami n Harrison, and ho received lis nomination in 1888 as a dark misc in a field crowded with favorite ions. This old tradition has evidently lost mme of its power to discourage hopc '?t..; aspirants, for nearly all the . Re publican .candidates mentioned for tho presidency aro either in the sonata or hoy ore trying with might and main b get.there. Weeks of Massachusetts, smith of. Michigan, iSherman ot 1111 lois, Borah of Idaho, Cummins of 'p^^'!;ara'oH members of tho senate md aH these noted gentlemen have hfcir rods 'np for the presidential ightnlng. Ol tho other names promi lently mentioned, Root of New. York ind Burton of Ohio dropped ont of the icnato last.March, driven out by the fear that they could not bo reelected. Fairbanks of I juliana, another likely candidate, baa Been service in the sen ate, and HO baa Knox of Pennsylvania, who was lifted om of the ucnato to becomt TV.rt'H secretary of ?tate.

Gover nor Whitman of New York la the only man who baB not been associated with the acuate by actual service or by A desire to get there, but it is now conceded that his failure aa governor of the empire Btate baa knocked his boom Into a cocked hat. There remain Taft and Roosevelt, of course. Taft ls not considered se riously any more sines bia last aprlnt was such a miserable farce that lie picked up only Utah and Vermont In Ibo running. Aa for the Colonel, ho 1B a perennial candidate, a prodigy who hus broken ull traditions, and no kind of rulo would work willi him be cause he would smash lt Into splin ters "Just to he different, doncher know." After looking over thc Held and passing the Republican senatorial race horsou In review, we come back to the beginning more convinced than ever that thc upper house of congress ls tho graveyard of presidential hopes. There ia a neat little Bix-foot plot re served for them all, and wo have a most admiraba and competent Bexten In tho person of President Wilson. WORRY Worry is peculiarly au American discaso. Conditions of life hero aro diff?rent from what they aro In other countries of tho world, and one of our chief characteristics IB always to he In a hurry. Wo bolt our food at meal timo, wo rush to our work OB If we wore members of tho flro department going to a conflagration In a rube town, and wo trot and fumo through tho whole duy as if wo had a grudge against Father Time for not putting ono hundred and twonty seconds In overy minute. Tho inevitable result of a life ordered on this plan ls a continuous atatc of worry. No pcrcon cnn be utterly free from worry, for In every life there come:? now and then n time when troublo or Borrow or distress of como kind falls with crushing forco, and lt is Impos sible to throw off tho fooling. In the dark hours of night, whon peaceful sloop should have UH way undisturbed, worry stalks Into tho mind and drives ont with a lash overy wholesome thought. Tho hours seem an eternity, and tho feeling ls only relieved when tho rooatero begin to crow and thc sun comcB pooping in at morn. Wo havo heard of peoplo who could lay aside their cares and worries whon they retired nt night, much ns ono would take off his clothes aud hang them up neatly and primly against tho coming day, but wo never really believed any Buch fairy toles. The man who cnn do that sort of thing either hus no feeling or bis mind lian been dGVolopcd into a hope less machine which can be started or stopped only by touching a button. While tho grip of unavoidable worry is hard to throw off, it is a fact that most of tho worries of mankind aro such as could be avoided. Many ot thom spring out of Joalousy and envy. Wo have seen two families living sato by side, both having about thc same amount of wordly goods and enjoy ing practically tho same social ad vantages, and we have boon impressed by tho largo measure of peace and happiness they enjoyed. In trutb, they seamed aa happy and care-frco ns a healthy pup snoozing in tho sun shine. A little thing may chango In a day the relative standing of these two families. The hoad of one house buys an automobile and goes spinning around the world as if ho owned an enlarged ediUon of tho Rockefeller fortune. Thon tho chances aro that tho hoad of tho rival house begins to mope at ? once Uko a man with . a chronic casa of dyspepsia because, ho can't buy ono also, the .light of his happiness is snuffed out, and ho sis-, xl cs and aputtors through tho pro gressive stages of worry until he sof ties at last into a sullen 'state pt Wno tunk. The wife and the kiddies, too, may feel thc same way about it, and they'begin to hurl ll ttl o shafts tippe J with fire at their neighbore, and it all ends with a big spite wall erected along the lino bf their adjoining lpts and towering far. up into tho blue, blue ?ky. -. Worry deatroys happiness. Worry undermines health. Worry gets a strangle hold on character aome timea and laya ita palo and lifeless form ont Under the weeping willows. lt.you have good health, a good nam? and a crust of bread, yot^d ' better thank tho Btars for your fortune^and quit worrying about what the other fellow possesses. Il you know the truth, you might flud that ho has a white clophunl on bia hands and real ly cnvlca you after all. A LINE o' DOPE I Wearier Forecast--hain Wednes day; Thur.sduy partly cloudy.

Lassltcr of Northampton county briefly' detailed tho forest wealth of the state as follows: Nearly O?.??O.?O? acres of wood land, containing 430,000,000,000 board feet of standing timber, in which particular North Carolina ranks among the first four states of the union. An annual timber cut of 4,000,000, 000 board feet. Lumber and timber products worth $34,000,00 a yea*. ranking next to cotton and . tobacco manufacture as a sourco of annual wealth. .

The annual firewood cut is Borne 5,720,000 cords por year, equal to 3,000,000,000 board feet of lumber; which eaolly accounts for thc fact that nobody was ever known to frcezo to death In North Carolina.
