A UToPIAN DREAM.

The man who started out to find the
fountain of youth or to make his home
in Ethiopia was a practical man COM
pared with the men who at the Phila
passed this resolution:
Whereas, The Industrial Commiss-
sion is looking into existing tariff plans,
with the idea of suggesting the revision
of the same without political agitation
to the detriment of business; there
fore, be it
Resolved, That this convention en-
dorse the action of the Industrial Com
mission as looking to the good of the
whole country through scientific solu-
ton of the whole question by this nom
partisan business body"
The man who thinks the Hannas and
the trust magnates will surrender a
cent of the swig they are getting under
the Dingley bill without an aggressive
warfare ought to be given coronation
in the Castles in Spain. For long
time there was talk of financial legis-
latl0n without political agitation"
through 'non-partisan business asso-
Citations 1t went up in smoke.
Special privilege never lets go except
when choked off, 1t is never choked off
except by agitation, and agitation is
never effective except when made
through political party. Agitation to
the detriment of business is always to
be avoided. Agitation to take away the
bonus given to trusts is in the interest
of legitimate business, but Hanna and
the rest declare that any agitation is
detrimental to business" and there
fore that the present system of trust
enriching is not to be opposed.
1t is a Utopian dream to suppose that
any reform can ever be effected out
side of a. political party in Republic
which has always been and always will
be governed by parties.

OPPOSES EXTRA SESSION.

That was a patriotic and sensible
speech made by ex-senator w. C. Dowd
in opposition to the motion in the Char
lotte Chamber of Commerce to ask the
Governor to call a special session of the
Legislature to repeal or amend the reve-
nue. law He convinced the Chamber and
the resolution was not pressed. Every
body is opposed to "the unfair assess
ment of corporate property and inquisito-
rial exposure of private business and if
the present law should have that result
it would be repealed with unanimity. But
it will not so result. Mr.. Dowd was right
when he said 'The Objectionable oaths
referred to could be Objectionable only to

THE BOSS COWARD.

The boss coward of today is a Mr. Alb
bolt, of McKeesport, a., who resigned
from the Common Council for this rea-
son, as he put it:
Politics is the most corrupt thing
have ever been mixed up in, and | an
out of it forever, and have separated
myself from it, and MY conscience is
satisfied. Others may not. agree with me,
but ! know that no Christian can 81. in
the McKeesport Council and save his
SOUL
There is no doubt of the corrupting in
fuence of practical politics, but for that
very reason the good man elected to a
public position ought to stand for better
public service. 1t is his duty to stay
and fight for better conditions; not to
surrender to the corrupt elements and
not in cowardly manner run from duty.

THE TRUSTS OWN 1T.

Convention said: "It can be depended
upon that the next Republican National
Convention will favor radical tariff
changes, and he added:
THE tariff is the mother of trusts 10 a
large extent, and a change that we would
recommend would be the putting of the
trusts goods on the free list. A trust
then would need to be world power TO
discriminate against the people"
Exactly But the trusts own the Re
publican party and it will never take
away any of the favors the trusts have
bought and paid for.

Especial to News and observer)

Winston-Salem, n. c., June 1S.-The
Forsyth County Teachers Institute
opened yesterday in the chapel of the
Salem Female College. Rev. Dr. CleW-
ell made pleasing address of welcome
Prof. w. T. Whitsett, of Guilford coun-
ty, who is holding the institute made a
fine address to the teachers. He spoke
in part as follows:
'The educational problem of North
Carolina should be we'll understood by
every public school teacher. The State
has 100000 children of school age. Of
these about 1900 are in our colleges, 49,
900 in our academies and high schools
and 100000 in our public schools. Near
ly 100000 of our choldren attend no
school whatever. The States great
problem today is how to secure an edu-
Gated citizenship worthy of the great
natural advantages with which this re-
gion is blessed. Not our water powers;
not our minerals; not our forest wealth;
not our fertile soils, but the cultured
brain and developed intellect constitute
our greatest resources.

and the PHILIPPINES: would that we had
a patriotism of peace that would en-
list all of our people in the cause of
the great army marching year after
year from unframed childhood into
the serious duties of American citizen
ship"
The value of educated citizenship was
discussed. The fact was devel
oped that the public school is the
only hope for the education of all the
people. Nine tenths of our citizens
must be trained there. The care of the
child was shown to be their chief duty
of the State.

Goldsboro, II. c., June 1S.-The allan

changed the schedule of the two passen-
ger trains leaving here daily. The
morning train now leaves at 7:45 a. m.
for Morehead City, and the afternoon
train at $40 D. m. for the same noint
Now, if the Southern will put into eff
feet the train recently proposed, their
passengers from the West can make close
connection for points on the Atlantic and
North Carolina railroad If the Atlantic
Coast Line would change the schedule of
their morning train also to connect, the
travelling public would appreciate it.
James H. Slavingnauh, of Stoney Creek
township, had rather exciting experience
with monster black snake recently.
Standing in his door way he saw the
snake run under the house. and notwith-
standing the house is very close to the
ground, he crawled under after it. He
took with him an iron poker. When
within striking distance the snake turned
and sprang into the face of Mr. Shaving
naugh. In the excitement of the moment
he grappled with the snake and hurled
it from him as best he could. only to be
attacked at once from the rear This
time the snake bit him on the leg and be-
gan coiling around his limbs. Twisting
himself around as best he could. Mr..
took hold of the snake and
loosing the coil he threw it from under
the house, following quickly. Then he
soon pounded his snakeship to death.
Mr.. Slavingnaugh is not suffering very
much from the bite of the snake. but in
the scramble under the house his back
was badly skinned by coming in contact
with the sleepers.

BEWARE OF THE COLD BATH.
It Ii Enervating in Many Cases.
Where a Hot Bath Ii Really
What is Needed. 80

The cold bath in the morning is not
so popular as it was formerly. There
is much energy expended in the re-
action and just at the time of day
when this energy is at its lowest ebb.
Then, too, cold water has very little
cleansing effect. Very hot water
stimulates the nerves, which is the
effect that we are seeking from the
cold water, while It does not demand
the energy of reaction of the latter.
The duration of the morning bath
should be as short as possible-harly
longer than the mere application of
the water to the skin followed by a
brisk rubbing. However, many pre-
fer cool sponge bath in the morning,
and If this is followed by warm glow
and feeling of well-being, it certain
ly is beneficial. Many people are not
strong enough to react well. A hot
bath at night is most cleansing and
restful. General bathing must be re-
gulated by individual peculiarities.--

A Steepable Balloon.

M. SantOs-Dumont, the famous
amateur balloonist, refuses to write
of his own achievements, but has con-
sented to the publication in the No
vember Century of an article on his
invention, by Sterling Helig, in which
his views are clearly stated.
Suppose you buy new bicycle or
automobile" he says. "You will have
perfect machine to your hand but
it does not necessarily mean that you
will go spinning with it over the
highways. You may be so unpractis-
ed that you fall of the bicycle or blow
up the automobile. The machine is
alright, but you must learn to run it.
That is what am doing with my air
ship"
This is what the crowds of Parisians
who have been following M. Santos
Dumont's aerial evolutions take but
imperfectly into account: and the
readers of the daily papers in far-off
lands, who hear of his trials and mar
row escapes only by way of garbled
and hurriedly written cable dis
patches, are still less likely to APP
preciate it. Everything about the
navigation of the air is new newest
of all is the art-practised only by
this daring youth-of diving and
mounting obliquely in the air by
means of his propeller force. In the
complicated and novel task of put
ting an air-ship through its best
PAGES, much must necessarily be at
the mercy of chance details. Thus a
trial trip whose start and finish were
witnessed by scarcely twenty-five per-
sons was much more satisfactory than
the succeeding days official trial be-
fore the Technical Committee of the
Deutsch Prize Foundation and bril-
liant tout-Paris assemblage.
On this occasion (the morning of
Julp 13, 1901 y M. Santos-Du sped
straight through the air above west.
ern Paris to the Eiffel Tower, turned
round it, and returned to his starting
point, a distance of eleven kilometers
NEARLY seven miles,) in thirty-nine
minutes, and this in spite of new
petroleum motor that was discovered
to be working imperfectly shortly
after starting. The day before, while
going oyer the same course, he found
that his right hand rudder-guide had
become loose. This happened near
the Eiffel Tower. Without sacrific-
ing a cubic inch of gas, he descended
to the ground by means of his shift
ing-weights; that is to say, he pointed
the nose of his cigar-shaped balloon
Obliquely downward and navigated to
the surface of the earth by means of
his propeller. There he procured a
ladder and repaired his rudder-guide.
Then he mounted into the air and re-
sumed his course without sacrificing a
pound of ballast; that is to say, he
pointed the balloons nose obliquely
upward by means of the shifting
weights, and 80 navigated on high
again by the force of his propeller.
To those who know anything about
dirigible balloons, these evolutions,
simple as they appear, constitute M.
Santos -Dumont's greatest triumph.
They have never been accomplished
by another aeronaut.
