EDITOR 7 *? i i Tuesday, February L'4, 1914. | The Mexican situation seems to beI come more involved, instead of clear- ; i ing up. The general assembly did well in j, making Senator Mauldin judge of the > new 13th circuit* comprising tne counties of Greenville and Pickens. Senator Mauldin will make a good judge. We regret that the State board of education has lost the services of Mr. C. J. Ramage. who resigned upon his appointment as special judge to hold j i the courts, of the 12th circuit, on ac-! count of the illness of Judge Ernest Gary. Mr. S. McG. Simkins, of Edgej field, who will succeed him, will make a valuable member of the board. i It has been rumored throughout the city that the Coney Island Amusement ; mrianv would not come here next I week as scheduled 0:1 account of having been in Newberry and I^aurens where there is an epedemic of small pox.?Gaffney ledger. This is too bad, but it generally happens that when you are unfair and unjust to your neighbor it proves a boomerang. . So far the legislature has done very little, and it seems now that adjou 11ment will probably be reach.' this week with .try little mere . 1plished. We suppose it is just as well.; i Some meritorious measures have j been and are still before the general j assembly, but they seem to be having i rather rough sailing. The session, j however, has been remarkably har- j monious, for a South Carolina legislature. THE PASS The Charlotte Obsever, in speaking of "the pass," says editorially: "The R'aleisn News and Observer is not hospitable to the efforts of >?!ec- 1 retary Sherrill of the North Carloina Press Association to have the interstate bars against railroad passes let dcwn. On the contrary, that paper comes out flat-footed against passes for .editors under any circumstances. I Our Raleigh contemporary regards the "free pass*' as "an unmitigated evil," and advises the next legislature < to put an end to it in this State. Colonel Britton takes too rank a hold. T-r, o nr. oro r?rvT 4frpp" na.SSP.S_ ^ 1 i ai v uw ww x~? ? There is not an editor in North Carolina that does not give advertising space equivalent to the value of the pass he uses. We take it that what the Raleigh editor is driving at is the principal of the pass, but even that is ; open to argument. No publisher has , any call to regard the pass he bargains for as a favor. He gives val- ( ue received for it and there is no condition attached to its issuance or hv whir>h hi<? hands would be tied ! in case he should find occasion to j "jump oa" the railroads. It is a ? different proposition from the old days when any editor who so desired * c-Guld stuff his pockets with railroad passes, and under circumstances which necessarily carried a sense of i, obligation. Under the present system !, of newspaper transportation it is a; business proprositicn as legitimate as ' merchandising over the counter. The I, Observer does not believe in putting 1, the law on the pass. It should be op- j j tional wjth a puDiisner waeiner ne should accept a pass in exchange for advertising space, or pay his way when he rides and take whatever of j | railroad advertising may come his way 1 in cash." We have always looked upon this as | a business matter between the newspapers and the railroads. There seem j to be editors whose consciences will j not permit them to accept transporta- j tion in exchange for advertising. | That is all very well and good, but j they should not attempt to regulate! the consciences of their brethren, j Tbere is such a thing as carrying too 1 . far the doctrine of being your; "brothers keeper," especially in pure- ! ly business matter. Thte Charlotte j Observer has put the matter strongly j and well. Colonial Entertainment* The Jasper chapter, D. A.

Washington, Feb. 21.?Chairman Smith of the senate immigration committee emphatically declared today he never ihad told the committee President Wilson would sign the pending immigration bill if it contained the literacy test. Members 'have been much confused over conflicting reports on the attitude of the president. The committee is going abead, intending to retain in the bill the house provision for a literacy tetst. Senator Smith asserted he frankly informed the committee immediately the day after seeing the presi dent, that the president was not in favor of the literacy test! He left today for New York to make an inspection of Ellis Island with a view to aiding the committee in concluding it work on the bill. This is Extraordinary. Anything out of the ordinary appeals to everybody and is at once oticed. Some customers are not so particular and are satisfied with ordinary goods, others prefer something extra. Now Copeland ad tells the public of an extraordinary sale of new spring goods. They don't spring this o:i you as a sudden surprise, they tell you calmly, deliberately, that they have the goods and that they are going to have an extraordinary sale. Another tuning they say that is a solid chunk of wisdom and as full of truth as an egg is of nog making ingredients, and that is that "it pays to advertise when you have the goods/' These are their exaot words. They will bear reputation as they are catchy. "It pays to advertise when you have the goods." There is a great deal in that one little sentence. These who don't have the goods don't advertise?no use.
