Thé ‘allies;although making no dramatic attacks on the German lines,are steadily hammering away with their artillery and when oppor- tunity offers,push their lines a fewyardsforward.<A Frénch eye-wit- ness describing battles from Decem- ber 16 to 24,gives a good idea of the fighting and records gains,which, while each is only in yards,amount in the aggregate to a considerable advance at many points, A’feW'hbundred yards im:Flanders were taken by priniitive “methods. Having the breeches of their rifleschokedwithmud,the allies used-them as clubs and in many cases fought the Germans with their fists.j With the defeat of the Austrians in Galicia and South Poland and the re- tirement of the Germans across ‘the Bzura,Petrograd believes the turn- ing point.has been reached in the bat- tle of the Polish rivers.The chief fichting now is taking placezon the Pilica,where the Germans still aré onthe offensive and have brought up big guns. “Losses in these battles have reach- ed enormous figures in dead,wound- ed and ‘ptisoners and:niust/have'been of men fought under dreadful climatic conditions and ia mud for which Po- land is notorious. The airmen of the belligerent coun- tries spent a busy Christmas holi- day.While a solitary German flew over the Thames estuary,in Eng- land,and dropped 2 singlé bomb which fell in a toadway and did no damage,a convoy of seven British raval seaplanes visited the German naval base at Cuxhaver and dropped bémbs on shivs and the gas works. WY but one of the British airmen re- turned safely to the ships which con- voyed them.Similar activity was displayed along the battle front,Ger- man airmen paying a surprise visit to.Nancy;French aviators to Metz; British to Brussels and other Bel- zian towns ocehpied by the Ger- mans,and German airmen to Polish cities. ods usual,aacourts:of.theyvdurmoege tone ©differ.While bombs were drop- 3ed during these flights,most of the fights were for reconnoitering.A dispatch from Petrograd,Russias says.8 persons were:killed-and-over 100.were.wounded in’thé”town of Jochaczew,Russian Poland:by yombs thrown down from five German aeroplanes..One bomb dropped in the middle of a crowd which was.watch- ‘ng,the aviators and in exploding it ‘riled or wounded’virtually the eritire vathering.The market place in 3ochaczew aid a number of wooden houses wére jset.afire and destroyed: Two people were reported killed at Naricy.mieavcrins Basketball Games. _Large crowds attended.the _holi-lay basketball games and the inter- si in the ‘sport is apparently una- yated In the game with Salisbury “*hristmas Eve the.Statesville team von by a score of 28 to 24,and in 3aturday,night’s game with the Y.

Judge Whedbee,who can probably “dispose of court business more rap- idly.than any judge on the Superior Court bench,expresses the opinion that lengthy charges to grand juries 4a time wasted.In this age when there is a more general diffusion of information and grand jurors are |Supposed to have some knowledge of their duties,the old custom of a -judge taking up two hours or more, _talking to them,is probably a waste| of time.A’concise statement of the things they should bear in mind is “* bee,by the way,would render the State a service if he would impart his views on grand jury charges to Judge Bond.The latter.takes ad- vantage of the opportunity to make *a stump ‘speech.discusses _wo- man suffrage,the initiative and ref+ eretidum and other things that have no part in the court —proceedings, states his position on these matters and argues.them..To.read one of »Bond’s charges one might think he was running for Congress.If he doesn’t know the impropriety of this -sort of business somebody ought to -*tell him. ~The Union Republican thinks “the International Boundary Commission, _-ealled by the irreyerent “The Lame Duck Roost,”should be abolished or -consolidated with some other’depart- ment in the interest of economy.The Landmark has expressed the same opinion,but the Republican is care- ful not to tell its readers that this “same “Lame Duck Roost”was”es- tablished,by the Republican adminis- tration in 1911 for the purpose,it is charged,to provide places for office- -seekers—usually members of Con- gress who had been defeated.The ~Democrats have simply continued the institution as they found it and ‘put their folks on the job.If the commission isn’t worth while,as seems .to.be the prevailing opinion, “the Democrats should abolish it.The *fact that the Republicans establish- ed it.does not excuse the Democrats in continuing a useless institution,ifitisuseless.But was the Republi- ean zealous for the‘abolition of “The Lame Duck Roost”before the roost was filled with Democrats?An’une- ~quivocal answer will be appreciated. :|stance ERE NOTRE SETDUA PREETI SAE Since the beginning of the war there has ‘been a great increase in the amount of money deposited in the postal savings department of the Wadesboro ‘postoffice.August”Ist, 1914,there was on ~deposit $300. January 1st,1915,the deposits had ‘grown to ‘$1,600.Reports from all sections of the country state that the postal savings deposits have “been largely increased within”the last five months,especially in,sec- tions where there is a considerable .foreign element.—Wadesboro Mes- senger-Intelligencer. -One can understand why foreign- ers deposit their money in postal savings banks—they naturally think a government institution is safer.why North Carolina folks should! ‘increase their deposits in the postal savings banks on account of the war; or why they should d@posit with Un-! ~~cle Sam at any time when a local bank ora building and.loan-asocia- tion pays a much better rate of in- 'terest and the deposits in these in- ‘stitutions are of lucal benefit,is a mystery to The Landmark. Glory to Federal Judge ‘Landis! ‘The ties of friendship and the prom- inence of.defendants does not influ- ~ence judgments in his court.,When_the son of a family with whom the judge was on intimate terms was ght before him for sentence,ef- fort:was made by prominent citizens to secure a modification,but in vain. With the proper tonception of the _duties and responsibilities of his of- Bee,Sudge Landis passed on the son of liis’friend as he would on an un- stranger.That is the prop- bneeption of the judicial relation and ail other relations in which jus- tice and right are involved.Judge Landis did only his duty.But there ‘are many judges who are influenced ~by the prominence or the connection ‘of the people who come before them. ‘dredellwillhave a dog law by and by.The county Farmers’Union has »to the aid of The Landmark ‘and others who favor this measure .the time another election ofnes along,perhaps,the_politi- sant, under ‘the idea wnat onlya favored it,will be shout- as if it were an original with them. 0 have been ridiculing the * THE ..GOVERNOR’S MESSAGE, “The ‘Landmark is*printing”the major part of the Governor's mes- j sage and the reader who would keep posted on the affairs of State will find it a document of interest, The Governor gives much atten- tion to property assessment and ‘tax- ation,which is by far the most im- portant question the Legislature has to consider.“The tax commission,” he says,“should be clothed with ple- nary powers to enforce the listing of all properties for taxation and to en- force the uniform and just valuation lof all property.”It may be asserted lwith safety that if somebody outside ‘the zone of local influence isn’t:given |authority to compel:the just and equitable assessment of property and ‘tu force all property.on the tax books, any scheme will fail.;r The recommendation that:the State Treasurer be required to give bond in a gurety company and place the State’s.money with banks that will pay interest on deposits,ic»sim- ply a matter of business‘about ‘which there should be no’dispute.~: On_the primary elections the Gov- ernor rings clear in accordance with the platform promise,and he’adopts the recommendations of the insurance investigating committee.Certainly the Legislature should not do less than is recommended to check the insurance.trust.‘ -The Governor would have the Governor and council:of State re- lieved of any responsibility in the placing of ‘convicts,and he can’t be blamed for that. One is:left in the dark as to the Governor’s exact meaning”about the State Tuberculosis Sanitarium,but he-indicates that he favors abolish- ishing it.The Landmark hopes:this will:not be done but that it’s work will be enlarged.= The Governor recommends ‘that all the State institutions,except the State prison—why the latter is:ex- cepted isn’t .clear—be put under the management of a single commission of five.If it can be shown that the State institutions»are badly managed under the present arrangement,that the new plan would mean greater business efficiency and economy,then it should’be adopted.But it’is im- portant to know something about the cost now and where the saving is to be effected,which willof course be brought out if the matter is pressed: There can be no objection to Having the institutions ‘make daily or week- ly or monthly reports.to the Gov- ernor,if the reports will be .worth anything.Under the present ar- rangement the books of the institu- tions are audited andthe institutions are examined by two or three differ> ent boards in addition to the super- vision of their own-boards of direc- tors.‘ The Landmark hopes no western training school or any other State educational institution will be estab- lished at this time.The State has about as many institutions,especial- ly educational institutions,as it can gay grace over.,: The recommendation that the Gov- ernor should appoint’all the State of- ficers except those named in the con- stitution—Secretary of State,Audi- tor,Superintendent of Public Instruc- tion and Attorney General—is some- thing for consideration.The major- ‘ity of The Landmark’s mind favors the Governor’s recommendation. The Broad Street.Bylletin’is the name of a publication that is to be issued quarterly.by.the board...of stewards of Broad Street Methodist church,The Bulletin gives the names of the officers of the church,Sunday school,Epworth League and mission- ary societies;the names of the ush- ers,members of the choir and church committees;facts about the finances of the church,the receipts and.dis- bursements,the assessment for each member—iname and emount appor- |tioped—p~nd other facts of interest to i the congregation and to outsiders as |well.This publication is ah innova- }tion for Statesville churches and it |seems to The Landmark that it is ls commendable departure.._The:mem- \bers of a church have a_right’to |know all the facts about their organ- \ization and the Broad Street church |has set a good example in the matter |of publicity.: Mr.Henry-Page’s idea that the |custom of committees of the Legis- l\lature visiting and inspecting State}|institutions is of no value,is sound, |The management of the institutions \is glad to have the committees;for usually a good showing can be made and-the committee ‘impressed ,with the work that is being done and its needs.But so far as any practical benefit from.the inspection is con- cemned,in the way of determining how the institutions are conducted, the visit is of no value,The institu- tions are examined’by auditors and inspected by the State board of inter- |nal improvements,the board of health jand the board of charities,all of whom make thorough examinations into the workings,which of course the legislative committee can’t do. 4 ae that helped to develop Moor®county lund that section of the State.Nat-|" urally Mr.Henry A.Page thinks oth- er sections of the State could and should build their,own railroad lines, lature to stop the State giving aid to railroad building.The Landmark appreciates Mr.Page’s viewpoint and it has no quarrel with him personally. It does maintain,however,that sec- tions of the State that have been de- veloped by .State-aided _railroads should not refuse now to allow other sections the aid they-have had.But it is just as well that this question of State aid be.settled.The Land- mark doesn’t believe the Legislature ¢an as a matter of justice take away the aid granted by other Legislatures to enterprises already under way,but) it is hoped that a definite settlement will be made.So far as the States- ville>Air Line is concerned;it has beén grossly discriminated against in ‘the matter of State aid;and.the fact that some enterprises.have been.fa- vored-over others will help Mr.Page’s plan of withdrawing State aid from all,' The bill of Mr.Allen of Wayne in the matter of contempt should pass._No judge.should have a right to;try,offentes in which ne is the complainant,unless the offences be committed in his presence in open court or are a result of a refusal to obey official orders of the court.eeeECRCRRNENNINESR “The Legislature,”says:the Dur- ham Herald,“is now organized.and will get.down to business during the last ten days of the,session.”Follpw- ing custom,that will be the way of it.

STORY OF DIVIDENDS.— —Phis~from’the Washington corres- pondent of the Charlotte Observer: \An interesting story has come to Washington from North Carolina. Several:days ago,when the directorsofa-certain large cotton manufactur- in excess of what had been antici-pated,one.director offered a resolu- tion,directing the president’of.the organization,to “apologize to PresidentWilsonfortheircomment: against the Democratic tariff.”The resolution fell by the wayside but itcausedconsiderablecommentinthe meeting.The dividends declared were quite as large as.those of any year. could not be ascertained,but it -oper- ates plants not far from Charlotte. The Landmark happens to know something about.that.It refers to a wealthy citizen of a town not a thousand ‘miles from Statesville,who controls-a chain:of cotton mills and}Who has ‘been much ‘out with’the: Democrats on account.of the tariff law.When the stockholders of one of the mills held their annual meet- ing recently it was found that the business had been good and the mill could pay the usual semi-annual div- idend_of 5 per cent.._The_man_here- inbefore mentioned,who was.dis- gruntled ‘about the tariff and ~.who was probably subjected to some badinage on account ‘thereof,held and possibly to make it appear that he was right,he ordered the divi- dend cut to'2 1-2 per cent.Later, however,.he repented himself and or- dered the full 5 per cent paid, -at heart opposed to further restric::~but—afraid—to--voice—the—senti- ment,the courage to oppose and .there’s no telling what will happen; -gnd the chief danger in the situa- _tion,as.The Landmark-sees it,is that ‘the idea that prohibition sen¥- ment is weakening may encourage the lawless and take the backbone out of many officers of the law’who ‘have enforced the law only because -public sentiment compelled.* I ssstneateataieiiiieeanadicinamabaiiieiiienidiaenaiaeen) the House of Congress,complains that President Wilson is building up @ personal machine to secure his re-»momination and that the one-term >plank’in the Baltimore platformis |to be ignored.If Mr.Wilson is do- _ing what Mr.Mann believes will -weaken him ‘before the country,then the Republican leader has no cause for complaint;but from the persist- ‘ent and ferocious attacks made by ‘the Republicans on the President and his policies,it is evident that —fear him above all other men.

But if one knew:just who were the folks back home from whom the legislators hear,they could tell more accurately what the back home sen- ciment is worth..Usyally it is a few interested people,who want some- thing done or don't want it done, who make a’big noise and make the legislator think they are public sen- timent;or they are.so “influential the legislator doesn’t want to op- pose them.-The masses of the peo- ple--rarely:give public expression.to their views.about legislation,The Farmers’Union has urged its mem- bers to write a card to their repre- sentatives,telling them when they favor or oppose ¢ercain -»measures, back home and-if the folks general- ly would adopt.that coutse they might get better results."But the proper time to make your’wishes known is when'the candidates “are selected.‘ While,generally “speaking,:the legislator is elected %6 represent the ment,regardless of apparent “public sentiment.‘Thoroughly convinced of the righteousness or unright- eousness of a cause,he should vote his convictions.If Calvin Graves had voicedthewishes of his people, the North Carolina railroad .would not have been built..when it was. BUSINESS ._MANAGEMENT. “Tf an individual’s °private’busi- business.has been.conducted,”‘says the State Board of Internal Im- provements,“it would result “in bankruptcy.”And the.same.state- ment would doubtless apply to the Federal government,«o.almost any State government and to the great majority of ,;the “county and munici- pal.governments in the country. There is no reason why the .public business cannot be conducted in aj} business-like manner;there is every reason why.it,should be so conduct- ed,for all..the people are affected. But.-so:long’as men are electad or appointed”to ~office~regardless *of qualifications for the particular ser- vice they are to perform;so long as the public service is used as a re- ward fer party workers rather than to secure efficient and economic management of business affairs,just so long will the public business -_be,j| mismanaged or poorly maanged. The -idea of using the public sen- timent as an asset tor party.service is so firmly fixed that an effort ‘to change anything—even the most ap- parent abuses—usually meets =.with/, disfavor.»The politicians .always fear that changes may.affect.their interest or that an economical.busi- ness systdm once installed may’be- come so jpopular that the ‘pickings will be cht off for good. port of the board of internal im- provements brings to mind the rec- ommendations of “Governor Craig in his message to the Legislature on the -advisability of requiring the heads of State departments and in- stitutions to make rgports at stated intervals on the condition of the de- partments and institutions,”and adds that-the Times‘“has been urging such a plan for many months.”~~ _The Landmark has no doubt that all the institutions would send reports to the Governor at any time and as often as.desired..if-he-would request the information.The State Hospital at Morganton sends,every month,to. the State Auditor,a copy of every voucher issued during the month, showing not only the amount of:the voucher but for what purpose’it is drawn.The same would have been sent.to the Governor,or any addi-tional information asked,as often asdesired,if it had been asked.for. Certainly there is no concealmentaboutexpendituresatMorganton;and the same is.doubtless true of oth- er institutions.

The excuse that the Legislature ~ghould do nothing in the way of re- forming the tax laws because the tax amendment ta the constitution was '“yoted down,will not stand close ex- ‘amination.The tax amendment was +yoted down and it is no longer an is- sue.But the main,contention of those who opposed it was that .the present constitutional provision is adequate’and the remedy for our ills ©qs to enforce the tax law.“Nobody at- ~tempted to excuse or defend the pres- a ent unjust and inequitable and in- _iquitous methods of tax.assessments, nor the laxness by which so much ©property escapes its share of the bur- “dens.Instead,Chairman Travis of the’State,Tax Commission pointed out how all this could be remedied. The Legislature will fail in its duty if no attempt is made to remedy“the -glaring evils that everybody ,admits exist in our tax system.Let.“‘well enough alone”can only apply where aoe “-all is well enough;and nobody will; *undertake to-say that there is any ~**for his honesty: -justice in our,present methods of tax listing and -tax~assessments,~which somebody has:well said put a pre- ““mium on perjury,for the man “who “=makes_an honest return is penalized cancnaiacateionnepiecinia aetna atl3 zJohnD.Rockefeller,Jr.,testifyin before the Federal Commission on Industrial Relations,estimated the amount.of money -his-father had~<~“devoted to philanthropy ata quarter of a billion dollars,The witness could ~not tell,he said,“how much more the world would have benefited “if ‘this ~-$250,000,000 had,been given to labor in increased wages.”Nor could he tell, of course,how.much the general pub-}* .lic contributed to this quarter mil- 4* Jion fund under the forced levies made by the Rockefeller business system. “(4 The system holds up the folks and takes their money away from them. “Then JohnD.gives a small part of the fund obtained fromthe forced | -.levy to philanthrophy,-and hymns are ‘sung in his praise.: Objection will be made.to any State-wide-primary law that takes in county officers.Some of the coun- --ties--want—such-a_law_and some’do not;The Landmarkholds that the law should not be forced on the coun- ‘ties that don’t want it;and the sim- ple way.will be,it ‘would seem,to agree on a bill applying to.all State -and county officers and then except,| -as to county officers,such counties as do not want it.Iredell,we take it,is to have’the law for’all officers,as Senatér;*Thompson has given notice that he will introduce a bill for this _county if the State.law does not ap- ply.
