and certincated and that the total reclamation
thereon was 81 42O 25 or less than three cents pcr

system Ia applied to all contract deliveries the In

The Way Il Reads.

ave hold these truths TO be
self.evident: That all men are
created equal that they are en-
lowed by their Creator with certain
inalienable rights; that among
these are life, liberty, and the pur-
suit Of happiness; that tn secure
these rights, governments are in
stituted among men, deriving their
just powers from the ooucent Of
the governed; that whenever any

tructive Of these ends, it is the

AN OBJECT LESSON.

A modest little paragraph found
in the Shoe and Leather Gazette is
of more than passing interest. 1t
says: "At the recent sale Of the
former real estate holding Of Al
bert Dodge Of Dolgeville, n. Y,
property valued atSl50, 900 brought
under the hammer sS600."
Dodge was a felt manufacturer
employing hundreds Of workmen
in his factory. These workmen
had been provided by him with
homes in the neighborhood OF the
factory and constituted the little
town of Dolgeville. Then came
the felt trust and wanted Dodge to
join it. Dodge refused, so the trust
made war upon him and pressed
him to the wall. The factory went
under and with it the hundreds OF
prosperous workmen who no longer
had a means of subsistence and
were compelled to leave d olgeyill'
Then came the creditors and al
tached all of the property, valued
at $4,000, and the sheriff prompt'
ly sold all Of said property undel
the hammer for $4,000.
The factory has not been agar
opened and probably never will be

which supply the demand. TIT

A Good Law.

The law passed by the recent
state legislature vesting the gov
eminent Of the A. and NJ. College
in a board Of eight directors to be
appointed by the Governor with
the advice and consent OF the
Senate, two members of which
shall be appointed at each session
of the Legislature, is a wise meas.
use, intended TO avoid the contin-
gency Of an entirely new board at
the pleasure of the Governor. I'M
der this law there will always be a
majority Of the board equipped
with two or three years experience
and presumably with a better
knowledge Of condition and needs
of the college than new men could
possibly have. Equally important
is the protection which this Law
affords against the appointment o
a full board from the ranks Of pc
litical friends Of the Governor, as I

Aguinaldo has declared himself
dictator, it is said, in order to be
rid of his congress and sue for
peace. On this side the president
didn't exactly declare himself
dictator, but his policy of taking
the Philippines without consulting
the people was pretty nearly the
same thing in effect. A dictator
by any other name is just as bad.

The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1899-05-30

It's beneaciaries talk of the cheaper
ing of products by organization, but a
monopoly means that the monopollst
will fix the prices at both ends, and
that is as much tyranny as though the
government sent its tax gatherers into
every home to levy tribute for base
and infamous purposes. To the student
of economics every temptation will
be offered to induce him to the
side of error. The future will require
a higher class Of craftsmanship, a
sturdier citizenship to meet these con
ditions. The weak must be protected,
for all men are not born equal. We
believe for example, that the white
man was created the superior Of the
negro"
And of that important question, the
necessity of preserving the absolute in
dependence from outside control Of
our educational institutions, the
speaker said:
The most solemn duty of man from
an intellectual standpoint is honesty Of
thought and freedom of speech. Moth
ing ia m 0re noble, nothing more useful.
This institution should be kept in a
position to teach these things in the
future as it has in the past. Do not
misunderstood me, but when I see the
Influences gathing around some insti-
tutions of learning / tremble for right
and truth and justice in the future OF
this country. It institutions can &C.
cept vast sums from men without COM
ing under their influence it is a bless
ing, but upon the minds of every
faculty and every board Of trustees I
would impress these two passages of
Scripture: "A mans gift mRketh room
for him. and A gift blindeth the eyes
of the wise.'"
The essays Of the graduating class
we're helpful and hopeful evincing a
disposition to deal with live, practical
questions rather than with dead issues
and ancient subjects.
