MONEY PLANK SUGGESTED.

A mistake occurred in printing the
plank Col. S. A. Jones, of Haywood
desires the Democratic State conyen-
ton to adopt next week. The plank
he proposes reads thus:
THAT the Democratic party OF
North Carolina adheres to and pledges
itself to labor for the re-establish-
ment of the honest and sound money
basis for the United States, planned
by our forefathers and founders OF
this government, and established by
act of Congress in 1892"

IT MUST BE THWARTED.

In certain State of this Republic,
not many years ago. after a long
struggle, the people succeeded in Sc
curing the passage of law creating
a Railroad Commission After the rail
roads had failed to defeat the com
mission bill, they set to work to make
it worthless. 1t so happened that the
Governor OF that State had the APP
pointment Of the Commissioners, and
the Governor was under the control
of great railroad corporation. When
he came to make the appointments.
the Governor issued commissions to
the men named by the railroads.
Sometime thereafter, at a gathering
of railroad officials, one of them said
to the leader of the fight against the
creation of the commission, II see
that you got beat in the Legislature
and that you are to be governed by
a Commission" The official replied:
''The people got the Commission, but
we did better. We got the Commits
sioners. Let me name the Railroad
Commissioners and / care not who
writes the laws regulating railroads.
Today in North Carolina those rail-
road corporations that are in politics
have determined to control the Cor
poration Commission. They now
have one member, DR.. Abbott. If they
can name one other, they can con-
troll the Corporation Commission. If
they can name two, they can have har-
mony in the body that executes their
DEGREES. They have organized to con-
troll the commission. We state this
upon evidence that is indisputable. If
y
plans, the Democratic convention next
week will nominate two men who will
pursue a course marked ont for them
by the railroads, the tax assessment
will be reduced, and the Commission
in North Carolina will become as
much part of the great railroad sys-
TENS as one of their vestibule trains.
The people will pay the bills, and the
railroads will reap all the benefits.
This purpose known to exist must
be thwarted. 1t can be prevented if
the people generally know that for
weeks certain well known agents,
political and otherwise, have been go
ing about the State organic
ing to pack the Commission
with men who are under
such obligations to the railroads that
they would do the bidding Of its Off
GERS. Unless the honest men of the
State, who wish just and fair Commits
sioners to execute the law, are arous-
ed the conspiracy to defeat the pur-
poses for which the Commission was
created will be successful. 1t will
utterly fail if the people come to
Raleigh with a knowledge of the
conspiracy. Corporation domination
succeeds only where it works by in
direction or corruption. The last eau
not win in North Carolina. The first
cannot when the conspiracy is brought
to light.
Let the delegates to Raleigh be pre-
pared to nominate none but high
minded, honest men who will deal
Justly by the railroads and the people.
The conspiracy must be thwarted.

FAVORS THE BOERS.
Ex-President Harrison Declare
lie Opposes England in War.

Washington, Feb. 19.-Public men
who have been in Indianapolis recent
ly report that former President Har-
rison minces no words in expressing
his sympathy for the Beers in their
struggle, although the general per-
sistently refuses to be publicly inter-
viewed, lest his words embarrass the
administration at Washington. Gen.
Harrison contends there is no occa-
sion for gratitude on the part of this
government towards the British. He
thinks the British were guilty of some
inhuman practices during the revo-
lutionary war, that their attack on
this nation in 1912 had no justifica-
ton from any international stand
point, while their conduct towards
the union during the civil war was
also reprehensible. He sees no occa-
sion for unusual enthusiasm over the
friendship of the English during the
war with Spain, as it was war
against cruelty and clearly for hui
manity. There was no reason why the
British or any other enlightened ma
ton should not have been with Amer
lea on this proposition. If the Brit
ish were suppressing cruelty in South
Africa or remedying conditions that
interfered with humane government.
the United States would be justified
in lending it's sympathy. On the con-
trary, Gen. Harrison thinks, here is
a republic fighting for its homes and
it's own government, a cause as just
as the Americans had in their great
war of the eighteenth century. From
time to time these Boer farmers have
been driven from their homes by the
British, back into the wilderness, and
each time they have meekly gone, till
now, Mr.. Harrison thinks, the oppres-
sion has become too much to further
endure

PLEA FOR SHIP CANAL.

ton Urged.

Washington, Feb. 10. - Chairman
Hepburn, of the house committee on
interstate and foreign commerce, has
submitted the report of the commit
tee in favor of the Hepburn bill for
constructing the Nicaragua canal.
The report details at length the adj
vantages that would accrue to the
United States by the building of the
waterway and then takes up the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty. This conven-
ton is held to be voided and consid-
cred a dead letter from the date of
signing to the present day. The con-
tention is made that Great Britain by
securing control of the Suez canal Sc
cured a short route to the east, thus
violating the agreement made with
the United States.

escape pipes are situated upon the in

and breathing in the hog are his princI-

very warm the hog will open the
mouth and breathe through that chan

The horse can perspire through all
