C, under the act of March 8, 1879. The Associated Press is exclusively entitled to the use or republication of all news credited to it or not credit ed in this paper and also the local news published herein. . ENDS THE CONTROVERSY It is to be honed that Dr. W. L Poteat stifled for all time the ob jection to his teaching1 of science at Wake Forest College by his presenta tion of the case before the Baptist state convention. He told the brctmen that "Science and the Cross are each a part of the Master plan," which ought to be enough. Dr. Potent, who knows that the world ifc more than 6,000 years old, will not tell his stu dents in biology that it is about thai old. So far as Dr. Potcat and any other scientist knows the world is millions of years old. But Dr. Poteat knows that the world made its pro gress since the birth of Christ, the Wake Forest president can interpret the Bible, and he can do it in a man ner that will satisfy the orthodox and at the same time not make him out a monkey. We are not to have a "dark age" in North Carolina. The government eventually will tax Ibonds of vairious corporations, in eluding municipalities, counties and states, and if that will hel(p to keep more money in circulation we can see no objection to it. Such a law might also stop a lot of borrowing. Tax free bonds tend to create a class who will neither spin nor weave. But we concede there is another side b the question. . Commissioner Shipman, who told the Raleigh printers that he was master of ceremonies, now joins Dr. Chas. Lee Smith in a request for an investigation of the department of labor and print ing. If Shipman and his force have been putting the "hooks" in certain print ing .establishments, the public ought to know it; and if certain printeries have been palming off inferior work on the state, it is well to know that too.

This view has generaily rrevailed in England, and explains the deep pessimism caused by Poincare's stand. He could hardly have shown more plainly that the Dariac report does commend itself to the French gevernment. This good rain today from the standpoint of people who have hydro electric plants, is due to give place to morrow to fair and colder weather. POINCARE AND THE DARIAC t REPORT - Those congressman who claim to have been "shadowed" by. agents of the department ' of justice as a result of their criticism of the attorney gen eral realize of course that they are J ho pulling old stuff and ought to be pre pared with the goods to back it up.

I' , Information has reached the Ameri ca!) government at Washington that thi economic condition in Germany is soierious jthat a collapse is imminent. We don't doubt it. German money is worthless and the country has not mad any progress in finance since the war. Gastonla has been selected as the next place of meeting of the Baptist Sta,te convention which, among other things, unanimously endorsed Dr. Po teat's administration of Wake Forest College.

Premier Poineare s insistence on -he Ruhr and the Rhine customs bar rier might not have sufficed to wreck the London conference if the sig nificance attached to these two points by Firench imperialists had not frevshly been revealed to the British by rthe feutfeation of tnc secret report prepared by Poincare's special agent in tho Rhineland, . M : Dariac. How this report came co ight has not been stated: but part of it was ipublished in German news papers in October, and on November t the Manchester Guardian printed full text, part of which is re printed elsewhere on this page. The effect on British public opin ion was very bad, but there remained ;he charitable douibt expressed by -he Guardian at the close of its stern condemnation of the report: "Hap pily there is no around at presem. to suppose that any French jjovern ment would follow the reckless ad ico offered by M. Poincare's rcck ;ess agent." The Machiavellian pro ject outlined in the Dariac report wa.-, nt repudiated by the French gov ernment, but neither was there- proof -hat the French government had ac cented it. In this uncertainty the London KILLED WILDCAT Jesse Chapman, who lives six and a half miles west of Taylorsville, was here today with a stuffed wildcat, which he shot and killed in the Brushy mountains last August. Mr. Chapman said the animal, much larger than the ordinary tame feline, made an awful outcry when he shot it, and caused a shiver to run up his back. The cat is for sale. .

It mav be thai before January 15, when a German default! will give a, pretext for ci French advance, influence may be brought to bear on the French gov ernment for a change of policy, but Poincare's uncompromising- stand at the London conference was prac tically a notification that France rs committed to a iprogram of economic imperialism aimed at French hege mony in the metallurgical industries. Through c-ntrol of the key points in the Ruhr, Dariac points out, France will be able at any time Vut terly to- disorganize" the whole in dustry of the Ruhr: "We shall thus constitute a constant menace for the 10 or 12 masters of German indu try who are in reality financial!" the masters of Germany." And by control of a sustoms barrier alorip the Rhine France would be abi w cut off a great German manufactur ing district from its raw materials and thus to hold firm "control of Ger many's industrial production." The Rhineland is to be . held permanently "under the military guard of France and Belgium."
