people are pleased. Everything is
found Just as it is advertised. Mr..

nothing but new goods in the store
after that date. He will try and
close out in a lump all not sold to the
public by that date. You can lust as
well secure these great bargains as
some other clothing dealer. These
goods will be closed regardless of cost.

SERIOUS CHARGE.
That the Secretary Of War
Sold Mining Concessions
SECRETARY ROOT
Will Undoubtedly Be Able to
Satisfactorily Explain.

Washington, March 22.--Soon after the
senate convened Mr.. Turner NWash.) of
fered resolution directing the secretary
of war to inform the senate. whether any
concessions to cxcavate the gold bearing
bed of the sea in the vicinity Of Cape
Nome, Alaska, or in other Alaskan wa
| ters have been made to any individual or
corporation or association by the secre-
tary of war or any other war department
! officials, and if so upon what theory of
authority such grant was made.
| In response to an inquiry as to the in
formation which had prompted the reso-
luton Mr.. Turner said he had been in
formed by the governor of Alaska, who
was now in the city, that the war de-
partment had granted exclusive rights to
certain persons to mine the bed of the sea
near Cape Nome.
1.-The secretary of war;" said Mr.. Tur-
ner, has jurisdiction over the navigable
waters in the rivers and harbors of the
United States and at various times has
given to private individuals authority to
excavate the bed of such waters for
proper purposes Now, If this authority
has been stretched to cover such a con-
cession as that mentioned in the resolu-
ton, it is shame, reproach and
scandal. My resolution, may say, is
for the purpose of eliciting such informa-
ton as the secretary Of war may have on
the subject"
Mr. Wolcott (Colo.) said that in view OF
the extraordinary statement Of Mr.. Tur-
ner he thought the secretary of war
would be anxious to answer any proper
inquiry touching it. If such concession
had been granted, it was clearly viola
ton of law.
Mr. Carter said it certainly could not
be in contemplation Of the secretary of
war to give mining leases without sem
blance of law. II think the resolution
should be adopted said Mr.. Carter, Gas
I'm satisfied the response will show the
secretary has not arrogated to himself

70 TRUSTS.

correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
The trust problem is the greatest
now before the American people.
If Congress really wants to destroy
monopolies and is seeking a drastic
measure which will not only give the
campaign orators and party writer's
a chance to expand their lungs and
display their adjectives, and which
will be both practical, constitutional
and effective, let it use the taxing
power. Over capitalization is the
public bane of all corporations.
It is through its agency they become
ministers of extortion and oppres-
sion. Destroy that feature and the
incentive for the organization of
trusts will be removed, and the prin-
cipal objection to corporations taken
away.
Congress can easily make the tax
ing power effective and accomplish
this end by levying a heavy per cent.
tax upon the capital stock of all cor
porations doing an Interstate bust
ness, using the mails, or using inter
State railways, excepting from such
taxation the assessors valuation of
all tangible property upon which the
corporation actually pays taxes to
State, county or municipality.
Such a measure would operate like
Uncle Rastus' coon trap. 1t would
work both ways, "catch 'em comm
an catch 'em goin'." If they evaded
taxation in the usual way, by pre-
senting false schedules, Uncle Sam
would catch "'em," and if they tried
to evade Uncle Sam by magnifying
the value of their real property to
justify a large capitalization the
State would catch lem" Thus two
evils would be done away with at
ore and the same time. The result
would be honest capitalization based
upon actual value. Such a measure,
as will ae seen, would strike at more
than industrial monopolies.

NEGRO HowLERs OUT OF A JOB.

The Man Who Would Get the Ear of the Peo-
pie Hereafter Must Discuss Live Issues.
We have been made tired of TRADES
against negro domination. For a
generation or more it had been the
burden of Democratic speech-mak-
ing. The same old speech did ser
vice from campaign to campaign.
That great election last Thursday
DISTINGUISHED both the negro and
many a tiresome old speech. Some
familiar speakers hitherto will now
disappear. 1t is hard for old age to
learn new tricks. Those who have
with their one speech kept them
selves prominent for thirty years
will scarcely find themselves equal
to the ~eXigencies of the era of new
speech-making. A full and free dis
cussion of public issues on their
merits by many new men may be ex-
pected hereafter. The debates will
be cleaner and on a higher plane.
More thought will be called for in
argument and a wider range of in
formation will be necessary in order
to meet the demands of the people.
Last Thursday was epochal. We
have entered upon an era when he
who would win popular favor must
work. The old negro in the wood
pile speech has been disfranchised.

THE PRESS ON THE
AMENDMENT,
BETTER SCHOOLS, FAIR ELECTIONS, IN
DEPENDENCE IN VOTING, NO
!. RED SHIRT"-ISM,

Some Things the People Have a Right to Ez-
peot-And 1.-The People Have the Power to
Bring Them to Pass''-It Rests With Them.
The amendment is expected to dis.
franchise about 80, 900 negroes, and
to lay aside, if not once for all, at
least for twenty years, every posi-
bility of the dangerous influence in
politics of the negro vote, and so lay
aside the negro issue. This done, we
have several things promised us and
some others that we may rightfully
expect.
l. We have it promised that the
free schools shall be greatly i'm
proved. Mr.. Aycock and all the men
who have helped him campaign have
promised this. We shall look for no
paltry dealing with this promise, no
little provision in fulfIlment of so
great a promise. But we shall look
for such provision for the free schools
that in every county they may be
maintained at least four months in
reach of all the children and that
teachers shall be paid a sum sufficient
to command men and women of
ability and preparation. To this
end let every reader take his stand
now.
2. We have it promised that new
issues shall be introduced in North
Carolina and that every man shall
be respected in his consideration and
treatment of them. Henceforth, if
a citizen desires to vote for a Pro
hibitiOn candidate, let that man who
charges that he.i s dividing the peo-
pie for evil be discOuntenanced. If
one decides that he is bound to vote
for the Administrations present
policy In the world at large and espe-
cially in our new possessions, rather
than for IN interruption and rever-
sal of that policy, let the man who
differing with him undertakes to do
other than candidly persuade and
reason with him be regarded as the
worker of evil and unpatriotic. And
so with all issues. Let US have, first,
honorable questions. Let US, Sec
Ondly, respect each mans right to
vote his mind.
These two better things we have
had promised as from a thousand
platforms. We have the right to
demand them. Besides we have

NEEDED-LET Us have
PEACE.

Many Republicans and Populists
voted for the amendment. The
legislature is largely Democratic.
The majority, in a certain sense, is
too large. Any legislature, which is
largely dominated by one party,
walks Oh thin ice. A legislative bal
ance-wheel is always needed.
Let us now look for peace and the
burying of all animosities. Let all
citizens bend their efforts toward
promoting by wise legislation and
good citizenship the prosperity of
u common country. Let it not be
forgotten that the black man, more
than ever, demands our good will
and good offices. May all discharge
their duty in the fear of God and
with good will to all men.-Ra1eigh

BETTER SCHOOLS THE PARAMOUNT
ISSUE.

Cruelty for the State to Require an Educa-
tional Qualification Without Providing
Ample Facilities.
We have long held that a boy who
has the chance and fails to prepare
himself for the high duties of a SOW
ereign is not worthy of the suffrage !;
and this applies with equal force to
white and black. No discrimination
should be shown but every man who
allows eight years to slip away with
out learning to read and write ought
not to be permitted to vote. This
leads us to say that while we wish
all our colleges we'll, the public
schools must be the objects of the
States especial care, and they must
be made more efficient if it takes
every dollar from every other edu-
catiOnal institution. We do not be-
lieve this will be necessary, how
ever, but our legislators should go
up to Raleigh with this matter of
supreme Importance clearly before
their minds. It would be cruelty for
the State to say to a boy, "You
must read or lose your right to vote,"
and make no provision for his educa-
ton. Let our State colleges this
year not clamor for larger appropria-
tions, if they r in earnest about
the general education of the people.
We have before us a paramount"
issue sure enough, and that is the
broadening and deepening of our
public school system. We believe
another thing about the amendment,
and that is that it will deal a power
full blow against the liquor power.
Whatever else a negro voted for, he
has always, as a rule, stood solid for
liquor. May the Lord grant
with the colored Y44temnerance shall
lhHaadk5e long and rapid strides! And
may we nevermore be called upon to
pass through another campaign so
filled with partisan rancor, bitter
ness and hate.-Charity and Chill

THE PROMISE MUST BE KEPT.
The Raleigh Post Says the Negro Question
Must Not Again be Made Prominent.

The Raleigh Post Says the Negro Question
Must Not Again be Made Prominent.
The Post will take no part in the
attempt to revive the negro issue.
That was the issue upon which the
recent contest was waged and won
by the white people irrespective of
party. 1t was vital then, involving
the hOme-life and home-government
of the people. The negro submits to
the situation, and the highest die
tates of humanity, to say nothing of
other reasons, suggest that he be
allowed to rest in peace, go about his
daily vocation undisturbed, and that
every opportunity be given him to
make of himself a c~ontented as well
as a useful citizen. His opportunity
for disturbing the white people, in
the early future certainly, or the Cd
portunity for any n or power to
use him to disturb has been reduced
to the minimum. He realizes this as
fully as others, and therefore. in ac-
cordance with our promises as we'll
as the demands of higher interests.
