good reason why the great highways
should not belong to and be fully
manned and handled by the govern
ment as we'll as the by. ways and bride
paths.
The evolution of the railroad and it's
acquiring the first place in Importance
ia a great system of highways has been
rapid aud logical. We see no reason
why, after a company chartered to
build and operate q road for a number
of years, that when it's charter runs
out the State or General Government
should not pay the parties a fair
amount for their invested capital and
continue the highway service.
There will be objection to this view
as an arbitrary act taking property
without compensation or consent of
owners. We have heard phases Of it.
But the great property value of the
road does not belong to the individuals,
or corporations, who have invested
their money only in road bed, and
moving stock, and terminals. The
value which lie greatest is that Of the
community of interests which Gays to
the individual you must accept a com
~pensation and allow the road to 90
over your property. For the benefit
Of Whom9 The builders No, the pub
lie who expect to travel over this high
way, otherwise no road could be built,
no charters would be granted. The
precedent for all we would propose for
government railroad ownership, and
more, has long been a matter Of his
tory. 1t will be noted that no prop
erty is to be ~confscated in the plan of
paying the companies whose charters
are about to expire what their running
stock and roads are actually worth.
This is doing them agreat favor over
and above established history-whera
in turnpikes and toll bridges have been
converted in public property by vote
to not renew a character. There is the
precedent grown to enormous proper
tions but of like kind in creation and
use. Both were and are for public use
both have been granted the public
rights to operate and take tolls for a
number Of years. and when thoseyears
are ended justice demands that the
large corporation as well az the weak
old turnpike or toll bridge company
should gracefully surrender its fran
chises and retire to the enjoyment Of
what it has been able to lay by rather
than to a divine right Of property in
the public franchise it has enjoyed for
the development by and with the pub
lie consent. FRANK Il. EMERY.

rob. The next day a man attempted
to rob him, w~heFeupon the priest at
tempted to moralize and teach the man
what a great Elm robbery is, especially
robbery of q priest. The man pro,
duced his indulgence and the priest
yielded his money to save his life, so
the story goes.
The government is the priest, the
license the indulgence, and the retailer
of spirituous liquors the robber. The
public school teacher, the governments
representative, spends a portion OF his
time teaching his pupils the immoral
ity of drunkenness, and then pockets
the money which the liquor dealer
paid in for his license to make drunk

the worth and merit OF this distin-

and Of whom our State is justly so
proud. He showed himself to be mas

Among other things, he points out to
us the-error Of the private ownership
OF railroads in a clear and logical man.
ner that admits Of no denial, and cor
roborates his statements by statistics
Of other countries.
He reflected honor and credit upon
his native State, and I would that
North Carolina could be filed with
such statesmen-men who grow larger
than the borders Of their counties and
State, and make themselves and their
influence felt In this great Union of

correspondence Of the Progressive Farmer.
I am glad that you offer your col
umns to the people for discussion of
the Constitutional amendment
am confident there ia a good result
to be accomplished By rational discus
sion Of the race problem.
! believe that the Caucasian race is
the only race that has yet developed
the principles Of q highly successful
republic. I also believe that there is
suhOient evidences of the deficiency Of
the negro race to convince us that he
does not deserve the right Of the ballot
in his own hands in our country. The
races would both be far better satisfied
if the negro race had never been allowed
the obligations Of outrage in the South.
It has contrasted the races rather than
equal z ID them,
II the amendment had been a square
and honest provision TO secure unre
stricted rights of suffrage to all eau
casian citizens of age, &c and pro-
hibiting all other races from voting, it
would have been, in my opinion, more
admirable than to frame a dodge so
apparent and acknowledged as the
proposed amendment is.
But if it is constitutional it is not to
be one moment consIdered effective or
sound. for it is we'll known that there
are a great many, and I believe, q large
majority of the negroes Of North Caro-
lima that are Over twenty.one years OF
age that can read and write. This
amendment then, at best would only
''cripple the bear"
Is there not at least as many white
people in North Carolina that cannot
read and write as there are negrcas
that cannot read and writaY Yes,
Then is there q prospect that there
will be as many white people after
1908 that cannot meet the requirements
OF the amendment as there will be ne
gross that cannot. There ia great
probability that there will be. Then
this much disturbed negro question"
is not touched by the proposed amend
ment of the Constitution.
There is no race consideration to be
mentioned in this amendment after
1905
1t is a blow for the poor man. It
falls upon the illiterate man, white,
black or yellow.
I have too much respect for those
signers of the Declaration of Independ.
ence who could not write and only
made their mark on that immortal
document. Ihave too much reverence
for Anglo Saxon manhood; / have
more faith in the Caucasian race than
to desire TO abridge his just right and
heritage Of s0vernity, destroy his free
