A VOICE FROM THE DEAD
New Orleans states.l


The Book Trust is unfortunate in the
choice of it's champions. If anything
were needed to confirm the opinion the
public already entertains of this trust
and to give it a certificate of character,
as it were, that deficiency has now been
supplied. Mr.. E. S. Stoddard. who flour
ished like a green bay tree" as one of
the division superintendent of education
in the halcyon carpet-bag days of
Warmoth and Kellogg, arises from the
tomb Of Oblivion to which the people con
signed him in 1876, and draws his trusty
blade in defense of the Book Trust He
figures out the cost that a change in the
public school books of the State would
infiict upon the people, and in effect
declares that any disturbance of the
Book Trusts present monopoly would
be an outrage"
This fading Renaissance of the most
disgraceful period in the history Of Lou
isiaua. finds new life and vigor restored
into his deerepit political constitution by
the prospects of the fall of a corporation
which, in methods. so closely resembles
the whole administration of carpet-bae
government in the State. The govern
ment under which Mr.. Stoddard had the
distinction of serving bled and robbed
the people of Louisiana to an extent al
most unparalleled in human history; and

TILMAN AND MLAURIN RESIGN.

The country will BE startled to-day to
read that both the South Carolina Sena-
tors have resigned, and will appeal to
Caesar" 1t is sensation, but is the
correct course under the circumstances.
South Carolina ought not to be repre-
scented by two men claiming to belong to
the same party who vote differently upon
all the leading questions that come be-
fore the Senate. One of them ought to be
replaced by a Democrat, for both are not
Democrats.
The people of South Carolina will now
determine how they wish to be repre-
scented in the Senate.
1t was a bold act in Senator Tillman to
hazard five years term in the Senate
upon the issue, but he is nothing if not
bold. McLaurin's term expires next
March and he has little to lose.
South Carolina will vindicate its faith
in Democratic principles by burying Nc
Laurn under a load of Democratic bal
lots.

represent his church in other notable
gatherings of wise men, task which
he always accomplishes with success
and good results. Indeed, it has often
been remarked, that Bishop Galloway
must be a religious and intellectual
Hercules to get through with so much
work, and at the same time do the work
so we'll" And the most pleasant fact
is that he seems not to know this HIM
SELF which argues singular freedom
from vanity and egoism. He really
seems not to appreciate himself as
much as he ought; but this is often re-
marked of all truly great men.
AS a Bishop he is gentleman every
where; kind, wise, tender, but firm and
clear sighted His voice is round and
musical, and his preaching has just
enough of religious emotion behind it
to drive the truth into the heart of the
nearer before the nearer has time to
close the doorway. There is not a con-
ference in the connection but expresses
gladness when Bishop Galloway walks
in and takes the chair as the presiding
officer. We welcome him to North Car

Mr.. H. S. Trott is universally correct

injustice to the memory of Girard in

was quite as far from infidefty in any

IT HAS COME TO THIS.
The Willy Book Trust, as a Last Re-
sort, is Now Attempting to Play
Politics" With the State Board Of
Education.
(Goldsboro Argus, May 25th.)

(Goldsboro Argus, May 25th.)
The American Book Company and the
University Publishing Company-ge general
~ known all over North Carolina as the
Book Trust, being reduced to dire eXtrem-
ity by the Aycock School Book Law are
endeavoring to bring political pressure to
bear on the State Board of Education to
secure the adoption of their books for
use in the State for the next five years
AS a preliminary step to this end their
agents and attorneys have been in prac-
tically every county in the State and by
personal solicitation, local influence and,
in some instances, methods that are dis
graceful have secured petition sort OF
endorsement of some of the books now in
use in the State. They have employed a
large number of agents and attorneys Of
political influence and State reputation,
who are at work endeavoring to impress
upon the State Board of Education that
political necessity requires that the
books now in use in the State shall be re-
tanned. Their love for the success of the
Democratic party evidenced in this par
ticular is truly touching-especiall when
we consider that the Democratic party in
the State and nation is against trusts OF
all kinds.
The American Book Company and the
University Publishing Company, generally
known as the Book Trust, fought the
passage of this school book law, which has
reduced the price of books from S5 to 40
per cent, upon grounds of political neces-
sity''; but the Legislature was not de-
tered from doing it's duty by such a
specious plea.
The idea that political necessity re-
quires that the State shall give the book
trust the preference over other publish
ers had it's origin in professional or pc
cuniary interest. The members of the
State Board of Education are not to be
caught by such chaff. They must know
that the book trust has extortionned on
our people for thirty years; and that they
have done all that lay in their power to
prevent any reduction in the price of
books
The people of the State do not want the
book trust given the contract for any
book that can be secured at fair prices
from independent publishers.
Let the purposes of this wholesome law,
so overwhelmingly passed by the late
Legislature and so unanimously applaud
ed by long suffering book ust-ridden
people, be not thwarted now by the State
Board of Education at the behest of the
book trust and it's hired minions.

THE SCHOOL BOOK QUESTION
Hon. w. II. P. Jenkins Says People
Don't Want Them Furnished by the
Opponents OF the New Law.
Granville, N. c., May "a, 1901.


To the Editor:
AS a member of the Legislature of
1901, in my judgment, there was no law
passed that would be of more benefit to
the people of the State than the school
book law.
This law was opposed by the Univer-
sity and American Book Companies,
their representatives stating that it was
impossible to secure good books for
less money than we have maid in North
Carolina for thirty years. NotWith.
standing the opposition of these COM
panies the bill was passed and learn
that the bids of the various publishers
show a reduction of from 35 to 40 per
cent.
For many years / have been con-
nected with the public schools of the
State and have found by long expert
ence the books now in use were not sat
isfactory either in matter or price, and
no act in my legislative career has
given me more pleasure than the vote L
cast for the school book law.
1t is now reported that the Universe
ty and American Book Companies are
endeavoring to make the State Board
believe that the people want the books;
that these companies have furnished for
the past 80 years at exorbitant prices,
retained for the next five years. think
know something of the sentiment OF
the people and of the schools of the
State, and / candidly and unhesltatlng-
ly say that l believe the best interests
of the children Of North Carolina would
be subserved by changing many OF the
books now in use.
The people do not want these COM
panies who did all in their power TO
prevent the passage of the law and the
reduction of the prices, to be given the
contract for our school books.
If they have been charging us honest
prices for the past 30 years, how can
they reduce the prices now?
l sincerely hope that the State
Board of Education will not discrimi-
nate in favor of those who have ex-
tortioned on the people for a generation
and in this voice the sentiment of the
honest people of North Carolina.
