THE EYES OF THE STATE
ARE ON THE SCHOOL BOOK
COMMISSION.
Most Important Work of the Re-
cent Legislature Was Enact
ment of the School Book
Observation-Disclosures
Now in Session.

The most important work of
the recent Legislature was the en-
actment of the School Book law,
providing for State adoption of
books for all public schools.
Ii the school book commission
does lis duty the children of North
Carolina will get better books and
cheaper books Than ever before.
The sub commission is now in
session IN Raleigh for the purpose
of examining the books. and after
this examination their report will
go to the State Board of Educa-
ton, of which board the Governor
is chairman, and the State Board
will enter into contracts with the
publishers of the adopted books
for five years
This school book law has been
discussed on the street corners
and in every country neighbora
hood. The people thoroughly un-
derstand how the Book Trust has
had them by the throat, and has
done all in It's power to shut
out competition and keep in use
inferior books at high prices.
Many of the books that have been
forced upon the people of this
State under the former system,
dominated by the book trust, are
ANTICIPATED as we'll as Inferior. In
fact, North Carolina, under the
former school book provision,
has been made a dumping ground
! for refuse stock-boOks that ha6
been discarded by other more
progressive States and could fin6
no sale elsewhere, at any price;
and yet they were put upon US al
outrageously high prices.
But this is familiar knowledge
and has already been thoroughly
ventilated in the columns Of the
ARGUS, which has been fighting
the book trust without cessation
ever since it's fangs were frs
fastened upon the people Of this
State. It is but natural, there
! fore. that, now that the law has
been changed-in spite Of the
most powerful book trust lobby
that ever assailed a legislature
the ARGUS should be concerned
!. to see the purposes of the Law
prevail, and wholesome, superior
cheaper books secured for the
children of North Carolina.
| The legislature has done it:
whole duty in enacting the schoo
book law, and the people are
, now looking with full confidence
to the men into whose hands thi:
y sacred trust has been committed
May they do their work we'll

and c~allOusness observable In
this country, ia respect to every
thing that goes on in the Philip
pines, as we'll as in Cuba and
Porto Rico. The newspapers are
tired of the whole thing, the peo-
pie will not talk about it, any,

the crueities committed in the
name of liberty is voted a bore,
or that awful being, a pessimist.
The American people are opti-
mistic, we are given to understood.
So they are, as respects all this
business, but it is in the sense of
Candine's famous definition of
optimism "a mania for maintain
ing that everything is well when
it is really i'll. Our invincible op-
tlmists do net want to be bothered
with tales Of wrong from our far-
away possessions. Every man is
busy with his farm or merchan-
disc, and will not listen when you
tell him that we are now doing
what we raved against the Spans
iards for doing. 'Oh, nonsense; l
don't believe it! Anyhow, it's dif~
ferent. This is not the reconcen-
trado policy; this is pacifcation.
Besides, don't you see that the
dispatch says that the inhabitants
favor a ''drastic policy" towards
the insurgents? That makes it all
right. Yes, that's what Weyle1
said In Cuba. He did what he did
at the special request of the Gu
bans. We know, however, that
the truth was not in him; but il
you say we ourselves are lying
about our RECOMMENDATION, you are
not a good American"

dangerous to even suggest that oul
government is not engaged in tn
hottest raj ever waged.
