DO YOU WANT $500 IN CASH?

To contribute to the Polk Monu-
ment fund? Send us club of ten
subscribers for one year each and we
will give you $1.OO to place to the
Polk Monument fund. In this way
you can contribute to honor the
memory of our late beloved Presi-
dent, and at the same time help to
push on the great work for which he
gave his life by extending the circu-
lation of The CAUCASIAN. You can
aid in both of these great objects
without it costing you a cent. You
can do it by simply following in the
line of duty marked out by the la
mented Polk. By giving The CAU-
CAsIAN 10000 more subscribers you
will pile up a fund of $1,000 for the
monument. In short the friends of
THE CAUCASIAN can build the
monument in this way alone. Let
every one put the ball in motion and
the work will be done. By the time
the monument is built the great
principles for which Col. Polk gave
his life blood will be ready to sweep
North Carolina, if not the whole
country: u:

There is a great difference of OPP
inion in regard to Sunday works.
Some things cannot be stopped,
such as railroading, hotels, resta-
urants, etc. And we all know
that Sunday employment in the
cities give work to many that
could not manage to exist if it
were taken away from them. In
printing and barber trades is this
especially so. The extra men
that are employed on Sundays in
these two trades would go hungry
if Sunday labor is taken away
from them, and those that are in
strumental in inforcing this law
sin greater than the Sunday la
borer.

SOME time ago we read a mod
ern parable that shows the parti-
atty of the national banking sys-
tenn. Two men named Jones and
Smith were possessors of United
States bonds for $Ioo, 900 each.
Jones concluded to start a nation
al bank and so took his bond and
went to the secretary of the treas
ury and informed him of his re-
solve and presented his bond.
The secretary took the bond and
gave Jones 500, 600 in bank
notes. Jones was to pay I per
cent for the 500, 900, and yet he
was to receive 4 per cent for in
terest on his bond. Now he knew
that he could loan his 500, 900
out for about IL per cent, making
him have $Ioo, 900 loaned out at
an average of u per cent, when
in fact he had but $Ioo, 900 capt.
tai. Now Smith hearing of Tones'
deal with the secretary thought
that it would be a grand thing for
him to make the same deal with
the secretary and take the bank
notes and put up houses for the
poorer classes of working men in
his native city to rent at small
cost. Accordingly he went up to
Washington presented his bond
and told the secretary his plans
and called for his 500, 900. But
to his surprise the secretary told
him that he could not do that.
That the laws permitted him to
SO loan out money to the banks,
but not to any other kind of insti-
tutions. He then advised Smith
to go back home and borrow
money on his bond of tones
at IL per cent to carry
out his philanthropic ideas.
Whether Smith did this or not is
unknown to us, but the moral

THE adjutant general of Colo
RADIO, who has just returned from
the Navajo reservation where he
was called by the late trouble al
ong the border reports that the
Navajoes who have been hereto
fore self supporting, are likely to
become pauPers upon Uncle
Sans hands. He blames the In
dams mistaken idea of wealth
for this. Instead of raising sheep
and cattle the Indian has let his
herds of these animals suffer and
have put in his spare time raising
horses. These horses when in their
prime are worth about$25 a dozen.
And yet poor 10 imagines that he
is we'll fixed if he has a big band
of worthless cayuses on his hands.
He probably has not tumbled that
a person can become horse poor.
The Indian question is a hard nut
to crack, but the idea of support
ing them and their descendants
for ages to come is folly. Make
them work or let them starve.

NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN

Il am beginning to believe
that there is nothing new under
the sun, but that every thought
is a revival or an imitation Or a
downright plagiarism of someone
that preceded it years and years
ago." said Calvin S. Southwood
as he warmed his feet against a
heater in the rotunda of the Lin
dell. Even the inventions that
appear so brand new may have
existed or their possibility been
suggested away back before the
dawn of history. At any rate
this is evidently true in the realms
of literature. In this line, if in
nothing else, history repeats it
self and the world runs in cycles.
/ attended church Sunday-fact,

guished gentlemen use a metaphor
as his own which l at once recOg-

Wendell Holmes, and which in
different form l once ran across
in an old book containing the
Canterbury Tales. Yesterday l
read in a magazine an article by
a writer of national reputation,
who used as his own the express
ion, Pride that dimes on vanity
sups on contempt.
This expression was evidently
taken bodily from the Poor Rich
ards Almanac of Benjamin Frank
lin, and this distinguished philos-
opher 1 feel sure borrowed it con-
sciously or unconsciously from an
old German book full of folklore.
Many of these old thoughts in
more recent writer's are uncon-
sciously reproduced, and in their
new dress can hardly be recog-
nized. "A guilty conscience needs

A NOVEL EXPERIMENT.

A committee of prominent resi-
dents of Union Springs, N. Y,
including several clergymen, who
are to assume the exclusive sale
of liquor, have issued the follow
ing statement:
owe will allow no man to pay
for another mans drink. We will
permit no drunkenness, nor any
approach to it. We will allow
no one apparently under legal
age within our doors. We will
sell to no man if by the prop
er persons we are forbidden to do.
To certain other persons, their
names to be passed upon by a
majority of the committee, we
will not sell to at all. We will
not sell spirits in larger quantities
than single glass, except on a
physicians order. and of all such
sales we will keep a record.
These and such other wholesome
rules as from time to time we may
deem desirable we will enforce.
Our entire profits, which will be
large, will be handed over as fire.

the same law hold good to banks

WHILE the dedicatory services
were being held in Salt Lake over
the Mormon temple, the man who
staked his all to publish the first
edition of the Mormon bible, and
who never received a penny for
it, lay dying in poverty at his
home in Palmyra, N. Y, the ear
ly home of Joseph Smith and in
the neighborhood in which the
sacred plates of Mormon were
said to have been found. Joseph
Smith might have been under de-
vine influence and a saint, but in
the words of one who had known
him long, "he was a d-m poor
specimen. The trickery, cheat
ing and swindling which has been
carried on in the Mormon church
for years still exists, but this creed
is still growing and assuming gil
gantic proportions notwithstand-

it comes to religion is something
remarkable.

THE FAIRS TIME-BALL.

The 5-foot time-ball to be
dropped at the worlds fair will be
made of canvas on steel frame.
1t will be wound up each day to
the height from which it is to fall,
and it will be set and electrically
connected in such a manner that
the breaking of the circuit at IL
noon will replease it.
The cable by which it will be
controlled has been laid, connect
ing the new observatory with the
entire Western Union telegraph
system, the touch of a button at
the Washington end of it instan-
taneously transmitting notice of
the hour over $50, 900 miles of
wire.
When that button speaks the
whole country will listen and the
hands of 70, 900 electric cloaks
all over the country will point to
the correct minute and second.
There are 1000 such clocks in
New York city alone. All rail
ways, factories and industries of
every kind pay attention to the
signal. Three minutes before
noon each day all Western Union
lines are cleared of business,
every operator takes his finger
from the key, circuits are opened
and at the instant when the sun
passes over the 18TH meridian the
spark of intelligence is flashed to
all parts of the country. 1t re-
quires less than one-ffth of a sec
ond to reach San Francisco.
The II o'clock signal sent from
Washington indicates II a. m.
for Chicago, 10 a. m. for Omaha
and 9 a. m. for the Pacific coast,
the United States being divided
into four perpendicular strips,
and each strip setting its clocks
by the time of the meridian which
bisects it from north to south
Thus each strip is only one hour
earlier than the next strip to the
east.

ing any advantage calculated to i'm
prove speed and give that luxury, safety
and comfort that popular patronage de-
mands. Its equipment is thoroughly
complete with vestibuled trains, mag
niticent dining cars, sleepers and chair
coaches, all the most elegant, and of
recently improved patterns.
Faithful and capable management
and polite, honest service from en-
plOyes are important items. They are
q double duty-to the Company and to
travellers and it is sometimes a task
difficult of accomplishment. Passen-
gers on this line will find little cause
for complaint on that ground.
The Importance Of this Line can be
better understood if short lesson in
geography be now recited.
What is the great Eastern termini of
the Rock Island ROute?-Chicago
What other sub-Eastern termini has
it?-Peoria. To what important points
does it run trains to the Northwest
St. Paul and Minneapolis, Minnesota,
and Watertown and Sioux Falls, Da-
kota. To what important Iowa and
Nebraska points?-Des Moines, Daven-
port, Iowa; Omaha and Lincoln, Ne
hraska.
REMEMBER
The Great Rock Island Route runs all
regular trains to Englewood suburban
station, close to Worlds Fair grounds,
and you can save time and trouble by
getting off at that point and avoid the
crowd in the city.

A REMARKABLE ADMISSION.

Did the reader note one thing
in the associated press reports
from Washington in the Journal
yesterday morning? 1t was the
following in the dispatch relating
to the action of the treasury Off
Gals as to the gold situation. 1t
was in these words:
Among the officials of the treas
ury department not the least fear
or apprehension is expressed of
any financial embarrassment
growing out of the gold ship
ments. They are satisfied, they
say, that the shipments are being
forced by those who would be
benefited by the issue of bonds,
and that as soon as brokers and
bankers are positive that their at
tempt to force the issue of bonds
will be useless, just so soon will
the gold shipments cease.
There is the whole matter dis
closed-a conspiracy of brokers
and bankers to force monetary
crisis in order to put the govern
ment in debt several million dol
lars in order to meet the effects
of the conspiracy.
The people must be very bigo-
tedly blind not to see the fact,
and insensible to the remedy if
they do not prevent it. What is
the cause? Simply that our laws
recognize as money that which
we do not and cannot control.
Instead of national money we use
usurers money. And these con-
spiracies are always possible and
always to be expected.
What is the position9 By bad
speculation a couple of years or
so ago, these money owners lost
immense sums in South America,
and it cost many millions to get
out. The United States and In
dia are fat geese, and they must
be Plucked until these lost MILL
ons are made up. This is just as
natural as that the people who
lost own the gold. They are now
making up their profit and loss
account.
Some day the legal tender note
of the United States which the
supreme court has made constitu-
tional forever, will be used to
wrest the power over values from
the hands of the individual usurer.
Were that power in the statue
today, we should never here of
panic, never see a crisis, never
know what a financial disturb
ance means.
We know that all this power
over money is only from the ex-
ercise of control over that which
is recognized as money by the in
dividual, through permission or
direct comforting by society. The
remedy is for society, or the peo-
pie, to resume this power to
themselves. And it will yet come
to that.-Kansas City Journal.
