bound brown paper strips around the
trunks of apple trees and tackled them
together upon the upper edge at point
of contact by driving a small nail into
the bark. The codling moth cocoon
would be deposited under the paper,
here and there and everywhere, through
out the orchard.
Then came the investigating com.
mittees of birds. The woodpecker, the
s%ap-sucker and the bluebird each began
looking at and into the brown paper
belly-bands. Instinctively they would,
with unerring Judgment, strike their
bills into and through the paper at pre-
cisely the spot where a cooling moth had
deposited it's eggs and the grub had been
formed. They never made any mistakes.

A TRUE ISSUE.

question before the
people is the constitutionality of war.
This question includes the control of
the government owe the lives and
property of the people for wal purposes.
On hat issue the constitution but speaks
the language of Nature-war for the
common defense is constitutional. No
others. Common defense does not mean
wars of aggression, for humanity or any
other purpose. The fact is that our
present war began as a hypocritical
aggression. 1t never was for humanity
any more than it is now. 1t was for
political purposes. Nothing else. The
trouble with the anti -imperialists is that
they are emotional humanitarians and
have taken the president land his party
at his word. The trouble with the
people is that they do not believe either.
AS a body the people do not care an
iota what becomes of or what we do
with the Filipinos. National vanity
blinds a few, personal Indifference the
many, to the true question. That ques.
ton is not what becomes of the Filipinos,
but what it costs to kill, conquer and

would wake up to the true issue there
would be no question as to the burial of
McKinleyism at the next election.

bonds of over
capitalized corporations have warped
and shriveled in Wall Street and "the
money power" about which our fusion
friends rave, has beer wounded among
it's friends. But beef, pork and cereals
in the hands of the down.trodden
farmers of Nebraska have not been
lessened in value by the Wall Street
mob. The staple products of the farm
are panic proof. No one ever saw them
without any market value whatever,
though the common stocks of some
trusts have been marked down below
zero. The money power seems bent
upon wounding itself and it's lamenta.

ONLY PROTECTION.

The tariff trust
letter which we
print today is by Mr.. Bolton Hall, a
prominent lawyer, writer and econo-
mist of New York. 1t contains interest
ing information concerning the iron
ore trust which has just doubled the
prices of ore and which, for years, has
been arbitrarily fixing prices and re-
stricting production to limit supply to
demand at the artificial prices.
Mr.. Hall explains the power of these
ore producers to fix prices. He does not
think that all, or even most of it comes
from the duty on imported ore, but he
is certain that a part of this monopoly
power results from tariff duties. How
ineffective are anti trust laws to reach
and to suppress trusts is shown by the
fact hat these ore producers are ap-
parently disregarding the decision of
the United States supreme court on
December 4th which declared that a
similar combination of pipe manufac-
turers was a trust and was therefore
illegal. Nearly all previous national
and state court decisions have been

adverse to such combinations and yet
trusts now flourish as never before. Mr..
Hall is right in saying that remedy for
the evil of trusts does not lie in laws
and courts, but rather in the repeal of
laws which grant special privileges-the
foremost of which is our tariff law.

American newspapers were discussing
the beginning and ending of centuries
just as they are today.
The Norfolk Virginia) Herald of that
month and year contains the following
from a person peculiarly interested in
knowing when the nineteenth century
will begin, together with an answer by
Mr.. William Cobbett, the author Of the
then famous "Porcupine Papers"
THE CONSERVATIVE again reproduces
them as germane to present debate as
to when the nineteenth century will
end and the twentieth begin.
"In the Norfolk Virginia) Herald ap-
pears the following advertisement, by a

that, without further ceremony, I pro-
coed to offer you the best, which it is in
my power to bestow.
And, first, my sweet Violet, I think
you have applied to the wrong source;
for one principal part of a lawyers pro-
fessional skill consists in knowing how
to procure delay and, I assure you, that
all the gentlemen of the bench and the
bar, whose opinions I have heard on the
subject, have decided the point against
you. I resided, some time ago, near a
small village, which was honored by
being the summers retreat of a lawyer
and a Judge. The former of these might
not, indeed, have been much accustomed
to the Christian calendar but be that as
it may, they both said land I believe
they swore) that the eighteenth century
should not end till 1901. Preposterous

GOV. MARTINS TESTIMONY.
Wilmington Messenger


While we'll informed North Carroll
mans who have studied the cues ion
with something of thoroughness accept
without doubt the fact of nj Mecllan-
burg Declaration of Independence on the
Goth of May, 1775. there are few
skeWtics here and there in the State
perhaps, and many outside who know
really but little if anything of the great
array of evidence ian favor of the fact
of such a declaration. We were once
among the dollbters, and rather leapt
towards the side of the attacking crit
les, but a patient study of all the facts
and evidences cured our doubtings, and
made us earnest and resolute in orr adj
yocacy of it. The truth is it is estab-
hshed by an array of evidence that
should remove all doubt from the minds
of fair-minded inquirers and searchers
after the truth. lit is a great credit
to North Carolina THAT over thirteen
months before the National declaration
ut Philadelphia the patriotic and resolute
men of MecSlealburg met and declared
their independence of their mother coun-
try, Great Britain. We refer to this
now because OF q recent extract we saw
from letter i'm the Baltimore Sun,
written by DIR. George w. Graham, of
Charlotte who is well up in the matter
of declaration and has given special
time to it. He writes and what he says
is helpful and instructive:
some badly informed historians
have denounced the Mecklenburg De
claration of Independence as a legend
and myth 1T is probable that they
have never read the statements Of Gov
ernor Martin regarding it. He was the
