Buying cars on time has been en couraged so much that it has become a general practice. The number pur chased for cash is now almost negli gible. And once in posSes.sion of a car, the average owner will deprive him self of almost anything else rathei than give up his car. The clothier, the grocer, the furniture man, the doctor or whatnot, can wait, but the car pay ment must be met. It is a curious situation. Hero is one great reason why the automobile in dustry has made so fine a record in recent years—its lavish extension of credit. An obvious recourse of the makers and sellers of other forms of merchandise is to give more credit themselves. But that is a very dubious solution. SABBATH OBSERVANCE The question of Sabbath observance is a far-reaching one on which there are many varied views. More and more over the country, the tendency to commercialize the day is growing, especially in the larger cities. But this attitu^ is not confined to the •great cities, it is prevalent in the smaller communities as well, and when the subject is discussed one can easily tell how little a great many people care for Sunday by the bitterness with which they oppose its proper observ ance. Right now the question is up in the community and our city authorities have taken steps to try to improve conditions and adopt uniform regula- Joumal finds itself in sympathy with Senator Wheeler of Montana whose dca of legislation seems to be “wher ever you see a corporation head, hit ■t.’ When, however, he says that the industries demanding ever higher and higher tariff must prove their claim by their books, he is on firm ground. One of the evils of protection is that it’" tends to become a substitute for ?fficiency. “For reasons of climate we have never been able to build up a linen in dustry in this country to compare with those of the west of Scotland, Belfast or even Saxony. No industry has re ceived higher protection than the man ufacturer of woolen goods and yet people of only moderate means wear Scotch tweeds, west of England cloths, Bradford serges, cheviots and the like, because the quality is worth the dif ference in price, both in wear and ap- l>earaiice.

I have already quit and I am going to stick.” Until recently Thomas lived in Louisburg, where he was a deputy sheriff. Recently he accepted a job as a guard in the state prison here. And it is largely because of this fact that he decided to give up his job as exe cutioner, 'he states. Prison officials, however, believe that he has been un able to stand the mental strain, and ' that he has “seen the ghosts walking” as the prisoners say. Thomas at present is sick in bed, with a malady which Dr. J. H. Norman is not able to entirely diagnose. For several weeks Thomas had been com plaining, and in the last ten days or so he has lost some 40 pounds. He is 45 years old and normally weighs more than 200 pounds, with an impres sive physique.

CHAPMAN, Manager Telephone No. 2 I West Main Street The Hen and the Egg There has "been much talk and pa- j laver by the lawmen and the ignorant generally concerning that all impor tant question, vizzly: which came first, the hen or the egg,_ and this is the first time, so far as I know, that an eminent scientist has undertaken to enlighten the world at large on this subject.

The Sabbath is a religious institution and a merely formal and forced observ ance of the day will be of no great benefit to men. The laws concerning it have already been clearly defined by the Lord, they are not man’s “blue laws” bat divine laws which will pro mote man’s happiness if they are giv en a fair trial. In the final analysis, the whole law of the Sabbath is not a set of man made rules, but is comprised in the saying that it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath day. If a man is not do ing that which will benefit himself or others on that day, he is breaking the Sabbath. Orphanage Dairy Gets High Rating There was recently organized a dairy testing association with a view to improving the business.

THE EFFECT OF THE TARIFF The tariff system in this country, in actual practice, stands for the oppo site of socialism.
