MACLAY MUST 60.

The minds of great men often run in
the same channel In an editorial in
Yesterdays News and Observer the i'm
mediate and unceremonious kicking out
of Maclay was advocated. Shortly af-
ter breakfast one of the most distin-
guished preachers in the State called at
the News and Observer office, saying he
had come to warmly commend the edi-
torial.
Yesterdays Washington Post, which
went to press the very same hour that
the News and Observer did, had brief
editorial on the same line, saying:
There is only one way in which Mr..
Maclay should be revised, and that is
with the toe of the official boot And
the job should be SO thoroughly done
that he will prefer to stand up in case
he goes way back"
The administration ought to act be-
fore Congress .compels action. The
fragrant wrong of unlawfully keeping a
man in position which he abuses ought
not to be permitted longer than the Of
fetal boot toe can be effectively used.
Here is place for strenuous action,
Mr.. Roosevelt.

IT is SIGNIFICANT.

1t is significant that the Southern Cot
ton Spinners Association at its recent
session in Atlanta did not pass resolu-
tions endorsing ship-subSidies and reel
procity. Such resolutions were offered
but, after some debate, were Withdrawn.
This is significant We hope it means
that the majority of the cotton mill men
are opposed to the dangerous doctrine of
favoritism and special privilege contained
in both these pending propositions. There
is no argument that can warrant the ship
subsidy except the power to take money
out of the tax of many to enrich the few.
AS to reciprocity, there may be reciprocity
treaties that would be highly advan-
tageous, but to substitute that method
of tariff taxation is to give to the Sen
ate and the Executive functions of gov
eminent that belong primarily to the
popular house of Congress. The reci-
procity that at present is being pressed
is a nondescript sort of lodging the re-
with the view of helping certain powerful
interests.
The cotton mill industry OF the South
has grown and prospered without special
privilege. 1t is no pampered ''infant in
dustry' that has thrived at the expense
Of others. 1t has fourished because of
wise business methods applied to favor
ing conditions. 1t needs, not special priv
ilege, but the unrestricted markets of the
world-not alone the markets of the half
clothed Filipinos and other inhabitants of
the tropical countries, but as we'll of
Europe. South America and all portions
of the world. The day is not far dis
tant when the cotton mill manufacturers
will see in tariff for revenue only the
only sure and permanent legislation that
will give them the markets they need for
healthy expansion.
We are glad that the advocates of sub
sides and selfish and contracted recipro-
city cannot quote the convention of South
ern Cotton Spinners as supporting these
unwise and half baked measures.

At the meeting of the stockholders,
the reports of the president and vice

the other officers. The features of these
reports were that the line earned during
the year 5000, 900 more gross and Sa5, 900
less net. The company ordered 10, 900
tons of rails during the year, and 300
tons for forty-ive miles of the Peters

The company has spent the sum OF
100000 on equipment and various i'm

FREE RURAL DELIVERY GROW
ING

q +. AZ ft 10 = "a <. y Ia
The Postmaster General will ask Con-
gress to appropriate six million dollars
forT free rural delivery during the next
fiscal year. The present amount is three
and half millions. This new and mod
ern. system will abolish fourth class post
Offices and the Star routes, and the au-
therities say it costs but little more than
the old slow coach methods that prevail
under the Star route" methods which
gave the farmers the poorest sort of mail
facilities. The increased purchase Of
stamps and the use of the mails which
follow the establishment of free rural
delivery give promise that it will within
few years be self-supportng, but wheth-
er supporting or not the system
ought to be universally extended. 1t has
a great educational value and will do
much to add to the comforts of living
on the farm. The trend of population
away from the farms does not auger we'll
for future citizenship and every agency
tive to the youth ought to be employed.
The Postofice Department has never
been self-supporting. 1t ought not TO be
the main idea to get enough revenue to
pay the cost. The main idea is to give
first class mail facilities, upon the known
theory that with every additional facility
there will come additional revenue. When
the country, is thickly populated, the
revenue will be ample, but until that time
sufficient appropriation should be made to
provide free rural delivery in every neigh
borhood in the country.
AS far as North Carolina is concerned,
it only has about score or so Of routes
Three fourths of the counties have no
routes at all, and only in Wake and a
few others is there more than one route.
We hope that Mr.. Pou will make motion
to increase the appropriation for free
rural delivery ten million dollars and then
that he and the eight other North Caro-
lima members of the House, aided by the
two Senator's, will demand that North
Carolina be given its just quota.
