WAR OF DIFFERENTIATION.

The Charlotte Observer quotes sold
iers who have returned from the Phil
irpines as saying that 1.-The natives in the
Philippines are very much like the Amer
lean Indians ana would have to be treated
as the Indians had been-exterminated.
He says the war will last for many
years yet
Exactly so. And yet when his party
stands against determination, Amos j.
Cummings makes a spectacle of himself
by an unfair attack upon his associates
ard with a more-holy than thou air votes
with the Republicans. The American
people do not believe in a policy of ex
termination. Even President Schurman,
OF Cornell, who was offered the head
OF the Philippine Commission said at tie
Reform Club in Boston this week that he
was in favor of declaration of Philip
Jinc independence. He said our motives
in taking the islands were humanitarian,
but that the liberties of these people
must be enlarged gradually and that this
will be great national question until
Sdt is settled right And he spoke truly.

SHOULD APPEAL TO ALL.

Mr.. +. c. Abbott president of the
Charlotte Chamber of Commerce, in his
recent report touched upon the need of
the State in it's public school work in a
manner that ought to be emphasized. The
cities and large towns enjoy good edu-
Koational facilities, but in some sections
the country public schools are SO in
adequate as to call for the help of those
better favored. Mr.. Abbott brought this
out in this portion of his admirable ad-
dress:
For five years before coming to Char
lotte MY home was in one Of the noun
tain counties in the western part of this
State, and l know from personal OBJ
servation the utter lack of proper edu
cational facilities in these districts.
and the very serious results which fol-
lew. | know it to be a fact that full
grown men and women can barely read
and write, some of them not at all. In
enc family in my mme neighbor-
hood, the parents, the children, the grand
children were living together in one
room cabin AMI none OF them able to
read or write. These statements OF facts
from personal observations are mild
compared with statements I have heard
made il. public addresses in Charlotte
by these more familiar with conditions
in other remote districts. 1t is such
conditions as these that reduce the aver
age of the State to such a degree that
we appear in the published statistics as
one of the most :lliterate States in tn.
Union, and We, as citizens Of this pro-
gressive, educational city OF Charlotte,
together with other progressive cities
and towns, must hear this stigma along
with the rest of the State in the eyes OF
the outside world This matter should
appeal to the patriotism and State pride
Of every intelligent citizen, and cause
us to unite our best efforts to redeem our
State from tnis stigma by joining heartily
in any practical effort made toward in
e,easing the public school facilities Of
tie State"

GRATEFUL WORDS.

In private letter, enclosing a check
for ten dollars to extend his subscription
to the News and Observer, one of the
first men in Eastern North Carolina
writes:
Long may you live that you may
continue the good work you are now do
ing for the people of North Carolina. and
may this be just the beginning of your
prosperity and happiness"
Pleasantcr words never blotted

Democracy of North Carolina upholds
this paper in its fight for the principles
. delivered at Monticello is an incentive
for more earnest efforts to preach the
doctrine in its purity and simplicity.

SILLY CANARDs.

The assistant Republican papers have
launched two silly canards within the
past few days. They were:
| 1. That there was plan on foot to
elect Governor Aycock to the Senate by
| talking up Senator Ransom, and after
working up a strong sentiment against
giving the place only to a Western man
say: Ransom is too old, but
what's the matter with Aycock?" No
body who knows Senator Ran
som or Governor Aycock gave any Gre
dence to the silly story, for
they are both men who deal candidly
with people, and they would neither
sanction nor permit any such use of their
names. They have a right to be can
didate for the Senate. Governor Aycock
has said that he is not a candidate, and
he means it. If Gen. Ransom should de-
eide to enter the race he would do so in
a straightforward way and would be no
stalking horse. The publication of the
q
both mems character and upon the in
telligence of the people. 1t was all for
the purpose of trying to injure the Dem
ocratic cause by working UP prejudice in
the West against the Eastern Democracy
But it was so bungling a performance
as to react.
?. The second performance was the pub
lication that Senator Simmons, the Dem
ocratic chairman. had declared that the
hostility to corporations. The gentleman
who wrote that was listening to mod
ern Munchausen. The Democratic party
in North Carolina could not be run on
any such issue, for it is the friend of
corporations and has just enacted a
broad and liberal corporation law that
pleases all corporations except~the few
who desire special privilege. The story
bore on it's face that fake had been
palmed off on the correspondent. because
Senator Simmons is not a fool. Nobody
but fool-and an idiotic fool at that
would have made the declaration attrib-
uted to him. 1t was hardly necessary
for the Senator to dignity it by denial.
The corporations have nothing to fear
from the Democratic party and they
know it. and the Republican propaganda
can make no Roadway by appealing to
them. The only gains Republicans evef
make in North Carolina are by fooling the
ignorant. And that last card has been
played once too often.

Republicans Are Prepared to Shape

Senator Vest is not the only Demo-
craft who sees more of party danger
than advantage in. the election Of
Democratic House next fall Mr. Vest
argues that the Democratic majority
in the House. with other branches of
the Government i'll Republican hands,
could do nothing more than block the
wheels, and merely obstructive tactics
usually bring upon party serious
weight of public odium. The judg
ment Of Senator Vest on this point,
based on long experience in Congress,
will not be disputed. The Philadelphia
Ledger" whose political position is
that of the Cleveland Democrats, re-
marks on the same subject: "Farsee-
ing Democrats will be very well
pleased if the Republicans should re-
main in control of the House by re-
duced majority, as they will then be
wholly responsible for whatever may
happen in the two years that will
elapse before the next Presidential
election
Republicans are not afraid Of that
responsibility. They court it. They
have shaped national policies for forty
years, except during a brief period in
Cleveland's second administration,
when both branches of Congress were

if law was passed at that time, but
both Cleveland and Wilson regarded it
as a misshapen thing, and the country
knows that it was a disastrous failure.
At all other periods since 1861, when
one party held the reins, it was Re-
publican era, and to them must be
credited the legislative achievements Of
more than a third of a century. From
present appearances the Republican

the truth. The census takes little ac-
count of what the farmer himself con-
Sumes. He returns his cash product
only, while in many cases he consumes
more than he sells. The meat and yege-
tables that go on to his table, the win
ter's supply of potatoes and apples and
cider and ham and bacon, the grass and
hay and fodder that are fed to the live
stock summer and winter, the eggs and
butter and milk, the peas and beans and
tomatoes, the cherries and strawber-
ries and blackberries, the wood for the
fire, the straw for bedding, the manure
for fertilizing-in short, things innu-
merable that contribute to the living,
comfort and happiness of the farmer
and his family, should all be included
in the total value Of his products; $40
00,000000 would not seem an extrava-
CANT estimate; $9,000,000,0O0 would
seem very conservative. We therefore
insist on this latter sum as the mini
mum value that should be given to our
products of agriculture 1t shows what
protection does for the farmer-Amer-
