I will write dull but instructive para
graph. 1t begins with list of bad things,
to wit: rheumatism, govt, bronchitis, liver
complaint kidney complaint affections of
the skin, asthma, all forms of nervous all
ments, pneumonia, epilepsy, insanity
well, that will do. The question is, what
is the real cause of these ailments? AS the
children say, what "mdkes'' them? The
answer is, Poisons manufactured in the di-
gestive system. Cure the indigestion and
you cure the fruits of it. That is the
truth, and it is common sense also. Fail
to cure the cause and you may doctor
any OF its consequences through a pain
cursed lifetime, always in vain. All con-
tagious or infectious diseases select their
victims from people weakened 10y bad

the platform adopted by the Republican
State Convention. He says: lit is the
duty now of the II publican party to
elect Republicans to the Legislature and
the duty of the General Assembly TO
frame the wisest local option bill that
the Vermont Legislature can devise and
then submit it to the people for adoption

FROM CONTEMPORARIES
SHAW ON THE TARIFF.

SHAW ON THE TARIFF
The speech which Leslie M. Shaw.
secretary of the treasury, delivered Tues
day at the Republican rally at Morris
Vile, his boyhood home, has been COM
mented upon all over the country, on ac-
count of his remarks upon the tariff. lie
declared that he was not opposed to the
readjustment of the tariff, but that he
was in favor of modifying certain sched-
ules, so as to meet changed conditions,
whenever the friends of protection are
strong enough in Congress to success
fully resist the efforts of the opposition
to revise the entire tariff law. There has
never been revision of the tariff, he
declared, in the interests of free trade, or
for revenue only, that has not proven as
fatal to business as the plaques of Egypt.
The protective tariff Is not the mother of
trusts, said Mr.. Shaw, hut it is the parent
of conditions that make it profitable for
capital to combine and congenial for
labor to Standardization Phoenix.

SCRAPS.

Discussing the problem of irrigs.
ting the arid lands of the West at
public expense, Congressman siblg
recently uttered this striking sg
tence: "What justification can
urge to those farmers who alread
bear so great a burden of taxati@
when we invite still further oomR
tition against them and compel them
to pay their proportionate share Of
the cost of inaugurating that oomps
tition?"
It is a rather noteworthy bit Of
State News that of the three i'm.
portant North Carolina appointments
that our Republican President hsl
made-Osborne, Skinner and Keith
the first named is and always has
been a Democrat; Skinner was q
Democrat till 1892; since which time,
until a few months ago, he has been
a Populist, while Mr.. Keith,
80 far as we know, has never an.
himself as Republican.

WHY WE ARE POOH.

''Corn, hay and guano is' being
shipped here in car load lots" says
the. Rioh Square Times. So our
money goes. There is some excuse
for the importing of corn, but the
haby doubtless came from a State
where the yield per acre is lower
than in North Carolina, for in this
respect our State ranks higher than
it's. sisters of the North and West.
The latest figures we have show q
production of 15O tons per acre for
our State, compared with an average
of 1.S5 tons per acre for the United
States. In Illinois, it is 1.29 tons {;
Iowa and Indiana, each 1.S4, New
York, 1.O4; Wisconsin, 1.S7. And
we believe that we shall learn before
many years to keep our farms as pro.
ductive as now at half the present
expense for guano.

TALK ABOUT TAXES.

It is natural for q man to think
that his taxes are higher than they
ought to be, but when we come !"
loak at the matter fairly we VIII
readily see that the man whois Wor5D
less than 81, 900 comes nearer giving
in his property at it's true value anu
paying tax on all he has than spi
other class of mon as a rule. y
course there are exceptions on bog
sides. Some men have special taSs
TO pay and we believe this tax
right and just in the main. For y
stance, doctors, lawyers and den5SS
pay a license tax of $500 a year, 'p'
while none of Us specially relish Wv
idea of paying, yet to come down "
the bedrock principles of fairness :
taxation, it is just tax and we doD
propose to kick about it. If III"
invests 81, 900 in a farm to maze
living on it he pays tax on "
farm, then if man speDJ
81, 900 to get his education in any y
the professions and makes his hV~S
out of that, why is 1t not ju's =. =.
right that he should pay tax Oh -
money so invested, which repreS0D, !,

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Is will be years at least before the
State adopts the idea, but we think it
Is>clear that the sentiment in favor
of compulsory education is growing
IN North Carolina. The State Coun.
oil of the Junior Order of United
American Mechanics is the latest TO
declare in favor of the system.
Our sister commonwealth, Vir-
ginia, also has a progressive young
Governor. He won the nomination
in spite of the oppositson of his
party's old fogy machine, and is now
leading the movement in behalf o.
better highways and better schools
for the Old Dominion. We published
a brief sketch of his career two or
three weeks ago.
We have received a copy of the
News and Observers North Caro-
lima Year Book for 1902, "a State di-
reotory by cities and towns" 1t is
q great improvement over the 1901
edition. The North Carolina bust
ness man soon comes TO regard it as
almost indispensable. A little more
attention TO proof-reading would re.
move the only complaint that has
been brought TO our attention.

N. Santos Dumont is in no wise
daunted by the disaster of Monday

money in the hope of solving the
problem of aerial navigation. He
will contest for the $4,000 prize
offered by the S. Louis Exposition
for the most successful flying ma
chine. 1t is found, by the way, that
the st. Louis Exposition, like the
Worlds Fair, will have to be held
one year later than was originally
planned for.
The most important feature of the
Washington's Birthday Number of
the Youths Companion, is a letter
on the necessity of good citizenship,
written seven years ago by Theodore
Roosevelt, then q memb Der of the
United States Civil Service Commits
zion. The letter contains this note,
worthy paragraph: I'm political
life, whether a man acts without or
within party lines is not of very
great moment, if only he always
acts honestly, fesrlessly and effec
lively; but remember that it is nec'
essary to be both efficient and up
right, too. Parties are necessary
without association and organiza
ton, and the necessary partial sub
ordination of individual preferences
no great work can be done; but or
: the other hand, no man has right
TO condone crime, TO excuse mora
shortcomings of any kind because OF
alleged party necessity. ;"

Weldon Fawcett, writing in the
February Hsrper's, predicts that we
shall have wireless telephones in the
not distant future. The idea has not
been much talked of in the press, but
it is easy TO believe that with the
success of wireless telegraphy it will
not be long until some scientist will
adapt the principle of sound com-
munication and give as the wireless
telephone. The world moves rapidly
these days.
