THE WILSON'S CASES


pointed to consider the testimony in
the case Of the Wilson's, (former rail
road commissioners), have, in q very
lengthy report, recommended their
reinstatement. The News and OBJ
servers review OF the testimony and |
findings of the committee is, in the
highest degree, characteristic Of the
editor of that paper; and it is safe to
say now in advance of the action of
tho Legislature on this highly i'm
portant matter, that whatever may
be the decision the News and
Observer will be on the winning
side.
This is noteworthy and con-
spicious characteristic of that paper.
Without doing so boldly and frankly
the News and Observer in the fol-
lowing extract endeavors to bolster
up the claim and contention Of Maj.
Wilson for reinstatement
"When Major Wilson was origi-
nally chosen on the Railroad com
mission it was known that his life
work was such as had fixed in him
the habit Of looking at questions of
railroad reg ulation more from the
standpoint o! the railroad manager
than the shipper. 1t was argued in
1891, when he was first chosen, that
it was only fair to elect one man IA
vorable to the railroads and two men
who would be looking at the ques-
tions from the shippers standpoint.
Ma or Wilson, from his training as a
railroad man, has always been slow
to make such reductions as the ship
pers and farmers de handed"
The people of North Carolina want
reduction of the excessive freight
and passenger rates to a figure cor
responding with the prices paid for
agricultural products and the pur-
pose of the ablishm ent of the rail
, road commission was to do justice
both to the people and the railroads
The News and Observer in the above
extract admits that Maj. Wilson was
more Sin the habit of looking al
, questions of railroad regulation more
from the standpoint of the railroad
manager than the shipper Oh
course if the railroads can dictate
: the appointment of mon to enforce
t the law they can destroy absolutely
. the purpose of the law. And seeing
t that the purpose Of the law creating
the commission has been prevented
' the Peoples Party declared in it,
4 platform for the election of the com
Q missioners by the people as the only

Q commission by the railroads. If tn
0 railroad commissioners had carriet
9 out the wishes of the people, freigh
I and passenger rates would long since

WILL THE ADMINISTRATION FORCE
AN EXTRA SESSION?


AN EXTRA SESSION?
It is generally understood that the
Senate is opposed to the Hull army
bill, creating standing army of one
hundred thousand, which passed the
House recently. 1t was semi-of6ci
ally given out from the White House
few days ago that unless the Sen
ate passed this army bill, that an ex-
ira session would bs called to pass it.
It is we'll known that the administra-
ton does not desire an extra session
of Congress for many reasons. So
this semi @ fiji cial announcement from
the White House would seem to be
in the nature of threat which is q
bluff. But however that may be, it
is certain that no bill can pass the
Senate as 1t is now constituted pro-
yiding for a large permanent stand
ing army. 1t will be interesting to
watch the developments of the next
few weeks to see whether the admin
istration will surrender it's demands
for large standing army or wheth-
or it will force an extra session of
Congress for that purpose, with the
attendant ADVERTISEMENTS that will
be sure to accrue from it.
The United States has no use for a
large standing army. Our volunteers
can whip the trained soldiers of Eu-
rope and the world. We do need a
large navy. Indeed, it may be ad-
mitted that we need the largest navy
in the world, but at the same time it
must be admitted that we need the
smallest army of any nation of i'm
portance.

To be Prepared

For war is the surest way for this ma

opinion of the wisest statesmen. 1t is
equally true that to be prepared for
spring IS the best way to avoid the pc

and sluggish, the millions begin to

THE TWO ONs-GOLDBUGIsM
The new proposed election law
provides for two elections-one in
August for the election of State and
county officers, and the other at the
general election in November for
President and Congressman. This
will be heavy expense to the tax
payers of the State. Let's sec if it
will not: When the last Legislature
passed law to hold an election in
the State, giving the people chance
to say whether they wanted longer
and better public schools or not, tho
Democratic papers squalled them
selves hoars and black in the face,
saying it would cost the DEAR TAX
PAYER MORE THAN HE WAS ABLE TO
BEAR. Did they mott Now what :
Why, these same bowling papers
have become so generous that they
now want THESE SAME DEAR TAxPAY-
Frs to be taxed to hold an election,
not for the masses, but to put some
fellows in office-give them some pie.
It was too bad to spend so much
money to hold an election to give the
poor children of the State larger and
better schools, out it is all right and
does not take too much money to
hold an election to put few party
pets or pie hunters in Office! You
poor men who have to depend upon
the free schools to educate your chill
dren, can see the logic of this kind
of thing. 1t is an insult to your in
telligencs. If the Legislature of go
committed a crime in spending mon
ey to hold an election for all the
children of the State, pray tell us
what this Legislature will commit in
spending money to hold an election
for tho Office seekersi We.called at
tention to this IN the last campaign,
and no Democratic lawyer would
dare attempt to answer-he could
not do 50 before the people. In the
next campaign We will call attention
to it again, and the people will force
him to answer.
But let's see their logic for it: They
say they are going to separate the
State and national elections Ito keep
Republican money from carrying the
State. WHAT Why, We thought
you were going to disfranchise the
negroes so the Republicans could not
carry the State! Now, if you dis
franchise the "nigger'' as you say
you are; if there are no more white
Republicans in the State than you
have been claiming, and if there are
as many white men IN your party as
You claim. you could carry the State
il every Populist in the State should
vote the Republican ticket. which We
know they will not do. Then why
are you afraid of Republican money!
Are you afraid that Republican mon
ey would buy all the pie hunting Dom

WHY BRYAN WILL FAIL.

No argument remains for Bryan ex-
cept to appeal to former supporters to
stand by him SO that he can go into
next years convention with his own
state still behind him. Nebraska would
be today as strongly Republican as
Kansas II 1t were not for foolish SEN
timent about an individual, and one,
too, who has been decisively beaten.
Bryan made his best possible run in
1896. Nebraska's fusion majority was
greater that year than it has been
since. Last year the majority dwind-
led to almost nothing.
Politics in Nebraska, as elsewhere,
is worth nothing unless it rests upon
questions Of principle. Bryan's prin-
ciples have been rejected by the coun-
try and will be rejected more emphati-
cally than before IL submitted to pop
ular judgment. His advice to Nebraska
three years ago was admittedly bad
in every respect Every prediction he
made about the future has been falsi-
fed. The country would have sunk
deep in disaster by taking the road he
pointed to as the only one leading to
good times. II Nebraskans regard
Bryan as trustworthy political guide
they must be strongly constituted. The
proof of his fallacies is before them.
Nebraska was enormously benefited by
his defeat. These considerations will
occur to voters as Bryan bounds from
station to station, speaking his piece in
favor of played-out platform.-St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.

MORGAN WANTS ACTION

Washington, Nov. 6. = Congress
should at once take action in relation
to the Philippines" said Senator Nor
gan tonight. This action should he
taken in the discharge of the duty i'm
posed by Section 4, Article 4 Of the
Constitution, which provides that the
United States shall guarantee to every
State in this Union a republican form
Of government"
Asked whether he favored Congress
sional committee to visit the Philip
pines and study the conditions there
before attempting to frame system Of
government, he replied:
II think 1t would be wise to have
such commission visit the islands II
we had undertaken to frame govern
ment for Hawaii without the study Of
local conditions which our commission
made, I think 1t is probable that we
would have made some egregious
blunders. This study Of conditions and
of the peculiar characteristics and
needs of the people is even more neces-
sary in the case of the Philippines than
in Hawaii, because we knew less of
the Philippines"
In the Senator's opinion the Govern
ment of the United States should have
charge Of the external relations Of the
islands, of collecting and expanding
the revenues, and of all matters re-
lating to the islands as group, while
the local affairs should be connded as
far as possible to the people Of the diff
ferent localities.
In this connection he spoke of the
township system of the New England
States as the highest ideal of local
self-government.
The question of who should have the
right to vote would have to be deter
mined by Congress, and in this connec-
ton the Senator called attention to the
fact that in the first instance the deter
mination of who shall have the suf-
frage in the States and Territories Or
ganized under the United States an
arbitrary act, in some places men only
being allowed to vote, in others men
and women, and in others various quail
ifications being prescribed.

ACCIDENTS WILL HAPPEN.

Man wasn't made to suffer, but ac-
cidents will happen, and to meet such
cases, Nature designed the roots,
herbs, gums and leaves for the heal
ing of the nation. Natures way to
treat a cut, bruise or burn, is to
cleanse, draw and heal, and that's the
way Kickapoo Indian Salve acts-just
as nature acts. 1t acts that way, be-
cause 1t is Natures own remedy, COM
pounded from materials gathered in
Natures infalible laboratory; unadul-
terated, pure and simple. The same
ingredients found in Kickapoo Indian
Salve were in use for centuries before
the Red Men divulged 1t to the Pale
Face. They healed nations ages ago
they act the same today. Hebron

A letter will be found in these col
umns this week signed Reporter who
writes Interestingly from Salem about
the school there, the progress it is max
ing, etc. Reporter will keep us posted
in regard to the prosperity of the
school from time to time. Mehinks
we will be safe. in saying that the pres
ent development of this school is due
mainly to the tireless efforts Of Rev.
A. NJ. Sheppard, principal, who seems
to have thrown all his energy into his
work. Who can tell but what by his
actions he has set machinery in motion
that will ultimately restore the Salem
High School to the high standard which
il reached years ago. He has the same
situation which Is a good one the same
people almost to draw patronage from
but the question is can this work be
done by his and that communities
efforts alone. We say no.
That school needs the support of
part of both Greene and Perry coun-
ties. and if it is ever expected to reach
its former high standard will have to
draw on all or most of the little towns
of the two counties for students.
While the county seat should have
the preference for the selection as a
site for high school of this charac-
ter, in our opinion, Salem will be o
contesting rival from its peculiar stu
alton. There's nothing that 80 elevates
and refines as a seat of learning in
county.
BY all means let's have it somewhere.

The Western Waterways conventio

The Western Waterways convention
In session at Memphis, last week, is a
most important body, representing the
vast agricultural, industrial and com
mercial and transportation interests of
the Mississippi valley. The object for
which 1t was called and the subjects
under consideration. are all of the most
practical nature, and they involve mat
tors OF the greatest concern to the PEG,
pie CT the entire country. The Mississ-
ippi valley is the garden, the granery
the grazing ground and the cotton field
of the world. The prosperity of these
vast interests Is tho prosperity of the
entire country. Any disaster to them
would bring calamity to the people of
every state east OF the Rocky Noun
tains. 1t is capable of showing bene-
hts upon the people of vast area, and
1t can also pour out destruction upon
them. Therefore the Mississippi River,
with its innumerable tributaries, is n
proper subject for the consideration.
not merely of a great gathering of the
producers and the manufacturers OF the
vast central valley, but it demands the
attention and care of the national con-
gress, so that 1t may be made perpet-
nal dispenser of benefits, and never
again cause of calamity. The valley
contains 1, $40, 089 square miles, or for
ty one per cent of the total area Of the
United States. Nearly one half of the
population of the United States dwell
in this valley, and its soil, besi dss pro-
viding food for almost all of our peo-
pie, furnishes practically all the ex-
portable surplus of live stock and food
products. Its mines yield most of our
coal, and practically all of our petro-
Ieum, and its vast forests a great
amount of the lumber used in the
