An editor cries out, "Men
are going forth in the world
to corrupt our schools and
churches. Will our schools
resist; will our churches not
be corrupted?" And he gives
no hint of a negative answer.
The implication is clearly
that he thinks they willyield.
That is what the average
man will understand. He
makes the question general.
He denies all particulars; but
the people think in particu-
lar. Speak of our colleges
and the people think of Wake
Forest; speak OF our church
es, and the people think OF
Baptist churches. Is it not
so? When a man makes so
grave an insinuation, manli-
ness should impel him to
name the church and college.
1t is not right that all should
suffer because of his suspi-
cions and alarms, 1t is not
enough that he declares,
when he is challenged, that
he does not mean Wake For
est! He owes in honor t to
guard other good institu.
tiOns with the same scrupu
lons jealousy.
1t is really amazing to see
an editor write such a ques-
tion and then claim that his
only purpose is to denounce
"Trusts and Trust methods
You cannot pass that. There
are two parties to every bar

rupting, and you charge some

How to Throttle Trusts.

The Verdict.
Folk, divers and sundry,
write inquiringly to The Yer

you do away with trusts?"
There are three remedies to
be clapped poulticewise on
these cancers. Cut down the
tariff that sucklcs them. COL
lect by Income Tax what be,
fore you collected by tariff
Steepen and deepen your in:
come tax with the growth OF
the income levied on. In brief
revise your tax schemes nm
til you tax what folk have,
not what they have to have.
AS a further step, accurately
and in twenty words define
the trusts. And then adopt Il
law invalidating every con-
tract it makes, and refuse it
the nrOceSS of the cOurtS to
collect it's debts. There is no.
thing wrong in such propo-
sal. Why, man, a trusts a

complete his iniquities? One
is either fool or knave who
says the law can't get to the

by the same hand your trust

'To Look After the legislature"
News and Observer.
The legislative committee
that is now investigating the
agricultural department is
discovering some mighty in
teresting" facts that will
make the people glad that
they went into the political
revolution that succeedcdlast
November.
We have heard of all sorts
of appropriations for "sun-
dries" and "extras" and the
like, but the newest thing is
an appropriation made last
November OF one hundred dol
lars to j. G. Logan Harris
"to look after the legisla.
ture."
II is to be hoped that the
committee will demand a full
er bill Of particulars and re-
quire Mr.. Harris to tell in
what way he was employed
while "looking after the Leg
islature." Did the money 90
for Il bottle and a cold bird?
Or was it used to hire carria.
ges to drive the members a.
bout the city? Or was it used
to hire eloquent lobbyists to
tell of the fitness of John K.
and the fragrance of "the ma
nure pile?"
When Loge goes on t h e
stand and tells us exactly
what he did to earn that one
hundred dollars "to look af.

pie ought to be let into some
inside history that will re-
vive the .Odors of "the ma

The Virile South.
Age OF Steel.

| hSo VI OUccl'
The industrial progress OF
the South during the ] a 8 t
twenty years is one OF t b e
bright chapters in American
history. 1t has been a case
of rally and renaissance. At
the close of the war the coun-
try was practically a ruin.
It's fields were bare and DESC
lace, it's credit bankrupt and
it's ante -bellum enterprises
strangled. The pick of it's
manhood went down before
the scythe Of war. multitudes
of men were manned or debll
itated for the rest of t h e i r
lives, and thousands of 9TH
ers migrated westward and
northward. These were grim
conditions, and recuperation
therefrom could only be a
matter of time, patience and
indonitable fixedness of pur-
pose, TO a degenerate race,
the South at the close of the
war was a dead apple and a
dry .cinder. 1t needed stamina
and all the virile virtues of a
stout-hearted and never-say.
die people to reconstruct a
new South on the ruins of the
old. These qualities were not
missing, and the specter OF
the shambles at the close OF
the sixties has grown into an
industrial giant at the close
of the nineties. ~ With its
en- Ormous resources of coal,
iron ana timber, it's cotton
producing qualities, it's eli
mate and geographical ad-
vantages, it's water ways and
seaports and itsroomy acres
for a dense population, tie
march of progress has as yet
but just begun. In the iron
and related industries, in mi
ming, agriculture and wood
working enterprise, the pro-
gress of the South will be one
of constant expansion.

When a Southerner Will Fight.

The Southern Pines editorial cor
respondent to the Lyndon, Vermont,
Union says:
From conversations here and else
where, learn that Southerners have
great respect for Northerners, and |
happened to know that since the war
Northerners have a great deal more
respect for SouthernerS than they had
before, when they were going to
Lick 'em in three months" The
Southern man, like Northern man,
is an American and does not click"
easily. Moreover the Southerner does
not fight unless he believes he is right,
and under that conviction, you get
all the fight there is in him. Had
they known each other as well before
as since the war, there would have
been no fight, but the irrepressible
conflict would have been settled by
the purchase of the negroes. which
would have distributed the expense
over the whole country. instead a>
fastening it upon a part.

And @isSti gass her worship as the God of

And gave it glory as the God of grace

No unseen artist fills the soul with awe;
