DIR WINSTON IS RIGHT.

The following is from the Philadelphia
Record of the 14th inst:
There are few more notable examples
of latter day pessimism than the pa
per read before the American Academy
of Political and Social Science yester-
day afternoon by President Winston, of
the North Carolina College of Agricul-
ture, on the Southern negro. He finds
that for the first time in our history the
negro is friendless. This probably
means that the negro in the South has
ceased to be factor in politics. But is
there not some reason to consider this
as fortunate and promising for the
black race? AS Booker T. Washington
has affirmed, the negro may now work
out his own salvation. and, indeed he
is bound to fit himself for the struggle
for existence or go down before compe-
tition. He is capable of industrial and
agricultural training, and now that he
is no longer supported by interested poll
ticians he is likely to submit to the dis
cipline which Mr. Washington has i'm
posed on the young within his influence.
There is no reason to doubt that the ne
gro will find friends among the Southern
whites when he shall become industrious
and thrifty and cease to look to politics
for his support.
1t is amusing to read the above eriti-
cism of Dr. Winston's address. The critic
of the Record has evidently read only a
sentence or two of that address; for he
gravely says, There is no reason to doubt
lat the negro will find friends among
le Southern whites when he shall become
ldustrious and thrifty and cease to look
,spolitics for support.
President Winston's whole address cul-
mates in advising the negro
l. To quit politics.
g. To become more efficient as laborer.
President Winston is right. The negro
as lost his political friend, the North;
nd he is in danger of losing his old
me personal, social industrial friend,
he South But, if he will follow Presi-
ent Winston's advice, he will regain and
I'D his Southern friends more securely

WHY WE DON'T WANT CUBA.

If Spain in 1S48 had accepted the $780,
North Carolina, then Minister to Spain,
was authorized to offer for Cuba, we
would not now be on the eve Of an an
nexation problem. Before the war, the
Southern statesmen nearly all favored
the annexation of Cuba because they
thought it would strengthen the position
of the defenders of slavery. When the
negro was not a voter, advocacy of this
method of settlement was widespread.
In 1923. Mr.. Jefferson wrote to President
Monroe:
Il candidly confess, that / have ever
looked on Cuba as the most interesting
addition which could ever be made to
our system of States. The control
which. with Florida Point. this island
would give us over the Gulf of Mexico,
and the countries and isthmus bordering
on it, as we'll those whose waters flow
into it, would fill up the measure of our
political well-being."
There are now two obstacles to the
secretly cherished intention of the adj
ministration to take Cuba that did not
exist when Romulus Saunders offered
Spain 100000, 900 for it, or when Mr.. JEFF
ferson said it would fill the measure
of our political well-being:"
/. We have solemnly promised not
to take Cuba. While our national prolll-
Uses have been going to protest by the
score, none of them were as solemnly
and publicly made as the pledge not to
take Cuban territory. The European
nations said at the time that the pledge
was made for buncombe and would be
broken We staked our reputation upon
preserving it, and to annex Cuba now
would be an advertisement Of national
dishonor.
2. The spirit of our government is
against subjects. The Cubans are not
fit to be equal sharers in American lib
erty. We have tried in the South the
experiment of giving the ballot to the
negro. Has it worked so we'll that we
wish to endanger our civilization by
giving the ballot to many thousand
more negroes and half breeds? The Re-
public cannot endure half citizens and
half subjects. Comforting the ballot
upon men who are not capable of exer-
cising it would result in evils like the
contested election in 1876 when the
Presidency was settled by bayonets and
fraud.

THE FRANCHISE TAX.

For years this paper has advocated
the principle of separate franchise tax
for all quasi-pubiic corporations, such
as railroads, express, telegraph and tele-
phone companies. The tax ought to be
increased as the value of the franchise
is increased. The Legislature of North
Carolina in 1901 for the first time, re-
cognized this tax in it's revenue
law and levied a franchise tax, founded
on mileage and earning basis. The tax
is very small--far too small when the
have secured the incorporation of the
principle of franchise tax in our revenue
laws. Subsequent Legislatures may in
crease the tax as the demands of jus
tiee and equity distate.
In recent address, Mr.. NJ. e. ingalls,,
president of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad thus states his opinion as TO
the franchise tax:
Our system of taxation is the crudest
on the civilized earth, with possibly the
exception of Turkey and some of the
Oriental countries. The laws of every
State are different. and, by means OF
this large aggregations of capital avoid
paying their share of the cost of govern
ment. We are just learning that a
franchise tax is the easiest collected of
any, and probably one of the fairest
ways of raising revenue. OF course.
those who manage corporations will OBJ
ject, as everybody does, to paying taxes,
but nevertheless it is right and proper.
Those that have the protection of the
State should bear their share Of it's bur-
dens."

INGALLS, ON THE INCOME TAX.

One by one the Democrats who re-
fused to support the national ticket in
1896 are coming back into line. There
were two classes of Democrats who did
not vote for Mr.. Bryan: /. The men
who wanted a chance to go over to the
party of monopoly: and 2 The men
who honestly believed that free coinage
was wrong and would work injury. The
first class have joined the Republican
party for keeps" The second class are
nearly all back and will be in the firing
line in the future They agree with the
party upon all other issues. Mr.. NJ. p.
ingalls,, president of the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad belonged to this last
class. He has become genuine con
vert to the theory of an income tax, and
recently said that the decision of our
Supreme court against the constitution
ality If such tax was one of the most
unfortunate occurrences of the age: He
added: &
1--WE should have a tax on all incomes,
large or small, eXempting moderate
amount, as most of the States exempt
a certain amount of property from exc
cution and levy. This country is so rich
that with fair system of taxation aid
economy in expenditure the tax rate
will be so low that it will not be OPP
pressive and thus you will encourage
and protect your small property hold
ers"

A COTTON MILL TRUST.

About the only big industry that has
not been lgobbled up by big trust
are the cotton mills. They have had an
association looking to the regulation OF
the product, the price, and the sale,
but so far this industry has not been
brought into the modern combinations.
How long will they escape? Mr.. Geo.
B. Hiss, Secretary of the Southern Cot
ton Spinnners' Association, says that
the association will not undertake any
thing, even suggesting trade combl-
nation, and then he adds:
THE tendency of the times however,
is toward industrial combinations Of
every kind, and would not be surprised
to see big company like the monster
steel corporation commence to buy up
the cotton mills and put them under
one management. In fact, have from
time to time received offers from finan-
ciers who had such a project in view
and only the other day such a motive
was imputed to Mr.. Morgan. / believe
that it could be done, and that just such
seasons of depressions as we are now
experiencing will tend to bring this
about. OF course when this occurs it
will be likely to involve the mills of
New England as well as those of the
South
It will be bad day for the South if
this should transpire.

Sec. 2. Civil Laws of Hawaii. 1897.
All OF the bills so far introduced in
the Legislature have the usual provis-
ion. to wit: This Act shall take effect
after it's publication"
But in Section seven OF the Organic
Act OF Hawaii, Sections two and
three. PRONUNCIATION of laws are re-
pealed.
Now the question is how and when
shall the Acts of the Legislature take
effect?
1t is competent for the Legislature,
in the absence OF constitutional limita-
ton. to fix the manner and time of
Acts taking effect, either by a general
provision. or by each Act in itself
The Organic Act is the fundamental
law of the Territory. So we must look
TO il 10 ascertain the law with respect
to the going into effect of Acts of The
Legislature.
Sections As, 46. a., As and 40 of the
Organic Act treat of the subject of
legislation, and they specify how bill
shall embrace but one subject, shall
pass three readings in each house ON
separate days, shall be certified to the
other house for consideration. shall be
certified to by the presiding officers
and clerks of both houses and there
upon be presented to the Governor.
SIf ne approves Il, he shall sign it,
and II shall become law"
So it is clear that in the absence
OF any provision in the Act postponing
the date of an Act taking effect it
would take effect Immediately. If ii
is desired to have il take effect later
n section fixing the time must be ad-
ded. An Act is said to be passed the
day ii is signed by the Governor. or.

ed. but the actual enforcement of the
law could be deferred if desired. For
instance. the Organic Act of Hawaii
became law by the signature of the
President on April 80. 1900. but it did
not go into effect, by its terms, until
''fory-hve days from and after the
date Of the approval thereof. Sec.
1O4.
IL an Act should be passed by the
Legislature of Hawaii and signed by
the Governor. which contains the old
provision that it shall take effect
after its publication. it would never
become effective as law. because OF
the absence OF any method for pup
fishing the laws. SO that the impor-
lance OF the point is evident.
So far but one bin has passed both
houses, and that contains the provis-
ion for the Act taking effect from and
after its publication. 1t has not been
signed by the presiding officers as |
yet, so thar ii may easily be corrected /
by striking out the confusing clause. |
