Our Quest.

Today Audubon has as its guest Iowa's
junior senator, Hon. ]. P. Deliver.
We bid him welcome and say that We
are greatly honored by his presence.
He comes bringing message of good
tidiugs. 1t is true we are now in the
very shadow of great national sorrow,
but out Of this sorrow shine the splen-
did principles that have helped make
enduring the fame Of the great man
who the republic is mourning. Dolli-
yer knows those principles by heart.
He has learned and relearned the .prin-
ciples of republicanism by parental
schooling, by observation and by ex-
perience. AMI he can tell to others
the story of the political faith that is in
him as eloquently, as charmingly, as
humorously. as argumentatively, as con-
vincingly as any man in America today.
Dolliver, of Iowa, is great national
character. His nomination for the vice
presidency came very near being made
ut Philadelphia last summer. Roose-
welt preferred to remain as governor of
New York and Dolliver was the second
choice. The pressure onRoosevelt both
OF some of his friends and Of some who
were not his friends over rode his OBJ
jections, else Dolliver would now be
president.
Deliver has combination OF quail
ties that will long keep him in high
public life. He is one of the country's
greatest orators. He is also scholar
and thinker and has an original and
strong mind. He is growing man.
He has industry. His intellectual ad-
vancement in the solid parts of states
manship has kept progress with his
rapid advancement in public estimation.
His brilliancy, his eloquence, and his
irresistible humor are but aids to the
great mental attainments of the man.
Backing all TINS is the necessary quality
OF good moral character and faith in
the christian religion. Thus equipped
and with splendid physique and good
health and we have Deliver, the orator
and the statesman. He is credit to
tho great and splendid constituency he
represents. His usefulness and his in
Huence are growing with each years
added service in the senate. His term
of appointment expires with the coming
session. The Legislature elected this
fall elects both his and Allison's sue
cessors. That is great and controll-
ing reason why the legislature should
be republican. That y the greatest
reason why Auduboh's member should
be republican.

"What is yellow iournal?" asked
the Des Moines Leader the other day
and then answered its own query by
fippantly saying it was always the
other fellows journal. The Sioux City
Journal defines q yellow journal as one
that appeals to the mob without con-
science and with no other thought than
increase Of circulation, printing lies If
it was supposed they would sell papers
better than truth. The Cedar Rapids

The Chicago American is meeting
with some of the condemnation it de-
serves. It and the other Hearst papers
are going through certain rawlings in
defence of their past attacks on the
president and on the government. The
demagogue that iucites q populace to
commit acts of violence is morally re-
sponsible for the result. Hearst's papers
are anarchistic and revolutionary in
their mouthings and vaporings and de-
serve the condemnation they are now
receiving from loyal people. The way
to condemn them is to never buy them.
They would better have belonged to
the revolutionary period Of France
than to this peaceful age and country.

THE SHORT CROP.
horn Tobacco JournaE

Southern Tobacco Journal
The estimates that were made several
months ago as to the size of the tobacco
crop produced in the South in 1901 have
been reconsidered in the past few weeks
and considerably cut down. The yield, it
was first thought, would be at least as
large as that of 1900. That expectation has
been disappointed, and it is clear now
that it will turn out smaller by from ten
to fifteen per cent. This is the revised
opinion of the trade.
Bearing in mind that there was a short
age last year of twenty-five per cent, it
will be seen that the present crop is not
more than sixty-five per cent Of an aver
age. Recognizing this as fact, the man
ufacturers are showing an unusual eager
ness TO secure stock, and prices have gone
higher than known for many seasons. The
trust is doing something it has nevar done
before, the existing conditions forcing it
to buy of the dealers. Though this is be-
ing conducted quietly, it .Las leaked out
that transactions have taken Place lately
at Richmond and other points.
Under the stimulus of better prices the
farmers "tare marketing their tobacco
with all possible dispatcn, so mucli SC
that South Carolina is already about sold
put and the last pile in eastern North
Carolina will be disposed of iefore the
holidays.
great deal has been said of the pre-
vailng prices being unprecedented. The
advance is mainly in common grades, the
medium and finer classes being still rea
sonable. The average will probably be be
tween nine and ten cents 8 pound. This
is doing pretty well, but it was surpassed
in the old bright belt OF North Carolina
previous to the formation OF the trust
when trash brought twelve cents, and
one market averaged for q whole yea
eighteen cents on everything soll on the
warehouse floors.

When it is understood that family
has to pay this year 1914 for what cost
it $91.29 last year and $72.45 in 1897, it
will be seen how large is the increase
in the cost ofliving. Men whose salary
or wages has remained unchanged have
felt the pinch" caused by the increase
while all producers of food and cloth
ing have found what they had to sell
worth more in the markets except
Southern growers of cotton.
1t is better on the whole for prices to
be fairly high than at the low rate
touched in 1897, for then men could not
get employment and there was dis
tress. A mean in prices as in every
thing else, depending upon the law of
supply and demand, is better alike for
the mass of consumers and producers
and radical changes are not best.
Why have prices been "kiting'' UP

WHY CRIME HAS INCREASED.

Roanoke -Chowan Times.F
At the end of the first week of North h
ampton Superior court, now in session
at Jackson presided over by Judge Win
ston. between seven andi eight hundred
dollars had been paid over in fines and
costs by the law breakers. so Sheriff
Joynerf informs us. -. This breaks all
previous records, at least for several
years. Heretofore from $4,000 to $4,000
a year was about the amount paid over
in fines imposed by our criminal courts;
in fact one justice of the peace was pay
ing over a larger amount in fines than
the higher courts. So lenient had our
Superior and Criminal court judges be-
come in the matter of imposing fines that
the people were losing faith in the eff
cheney, of our courts. and the law was
being looked upon with contempt on the
part of a large element of our popula-
ton. Judge Winston's course in dealing
with law breakers will have a salutary
effect
The case of James G. Martin, (colored)
the ex-school teacher and ex-postmaster
Tat Severn, illustrates how the. law was
held in contempt by class of citizens
Martin moved crops off land without pay
ing rent. and when found guilty by his
manner showed contempt for the court
and the Judge very promptly sent him to
Jail for four months and gave the coun-
ty commissioners leave to put him on the
public works. Martin evidently expected
the old worn out entry, Judgment sus-
pended on payment of costs" to be made
in his case. Il is the opinion of large
number of intelligent citizens of the
county with whom we have talked about
the matter that the practice of enter
ing Judgment suspended on payment OF
costs" in most every case where the
law breaker was able to hire a lawyer
to ask the judge to do so has caused
crime to increase in the county to- a
great extent.
