SHOULD THE GOVERNMENT
OWN THE TELEGRAPH?

The government ownership OF tele-
graph lines is earnestly advocated by
a great many people who seriously
doubt the wisdom of government OWN
ership of railways. For the telegraph,
an instrument for the transmission of
news, seems to be properly a part of
the postal system. This view of the
case is taken by several of the most
progressive European countries, where
government ownership is in successful
operation. And another evidence of
the pr~acticability of this reform is
furnished by the following dispatch
sent out from Washington last week:
"The telegraph lines established by
the United States signal corps in Gu
ba have been transferred to the new
Republic. Brigadier General A. W.
Greedy, chief of the signal corps, said
that the transfer was made a few days
ago. His reports show that when the
American army occupied Havana in
January, 1899, there was an expensive
and inefficient telegraph system about
1000 miles in extent. The signal corps
of the army has reconstructed and ex-
tended this system, having installed
two through wires from the extreme
east to the extreme west of the island,
and c~riss-cross with thirteen lines
from north to south. There were turn
ed over to the Republic of Cuba about
$4,000 miles of telegraph lines where
on the service has been Of the greatest
efficiency and regularity with the min
imum of charges, although the rate is
but two cents per word in each prov
ince with one cent additional for each
additional province. The system has
brought into the Cuban treasury with
in the past year some one hundred
thousand dollars in way of receipts,
and in addition has transmitted free
official business for the entire island,
which at the same rate would have
cost one-quarter of a million of dol
lars"

ROOSEVELT SLANDERING VS.
ROOSEVELT SLANDERED.

1t is painful to a fair-minded man
to see a religious paper giving curren-
cy to the false and vicious charge that
President Roosevelt once spoke of the
Confederate soldiers as "red-handed
anarchists" Not the trickiest and
most INSCRIPTIONS lawyer in the
country can twist anything that he
has ever said so as to give color to
such an accusation. 1t is bad enough
to find the narrower, bitterer sort of
partisan newspapers weakly attempt
ing it, but it is infinitely worse that a
religious paper should be deceived into
joining in the chorus. And the mat
ter becomes even more disgusting
when we recall that a large number of
these partisan papers also villifed and
abused Mr.. Mckinley while he lived;
then praised him to the skies as soon
as his life was ended by Czolgosz's bull
let.
We have already published them, but
that we may see again the ground for
the assertion that Mr.. Roosevelt re-
CARDS Confederates as anarchists, let
us read again two of his best-known
~utterances regarding the Civil War:
81 am extremely proud of the fact
that one of my uncles was an admiral
in the Confederate Navy and that an
other fired the last gun fired aboard
the Confederate ship Alabama. /
think the time has now come when we
can all of us be proud of the valor
shown on both sides in the Civil War"
"The world has never seen better
soldiers than those who followed Lee;
and their leader will, undoubtedly,
rank as without an exception the very
greatest of all the great captains that
the English speaking peoples have
brought forth-and this, although the
last and chief of his antagonists, may
himself claim to stand as the full
equal of Marlborough and Yelling
ton"

THE STATES DEBT TO JOSIAH
r

"Joe Turner saved the State and we
never thanked him for it."
This is the striking sentence with
which one of our older readers con-
cludes some "reminiscences of the Civil
War and Reconstruction. And it is
true-pitifully, hopelessly true. And
to think that the old man went down
to his grave last year, after pleading
in vain for the expunging of the rec
ord of his expulsion from the Legisla-
ture a score of years agol But we
still hope that sometime the State will
erect a monument to the memory of
this man-who had faults and made
blunders, it is true, but whose fearless
ness and straightforwardness was her
pillar of fire in the darkest hour of
her history.

BONDS FOR ROAD IMPROVE.
MENT.

Referring to the good roads move
ment in Iredell, the Mooresville En-
terprise says.
"The movement is a good one. We
need and should have better roads
throughout the county, but when this
road work begins, it should not stop
a mile or two out from StateSVile,
but extend to all points along the pub
lie highways in the county. The best
way to get good roads-roads that will
stand for generations to come, is to
issue bonds, buy material enough and
hire a force of hands sufficient to
build at once these good roads so de-
sired and so much needed. Let the
present generation get the benefit OF
such roads and let the future genera
tions pay for them"
The Landmark favors the bond Is
sue for good roads. When the Legs,
lature of 90 was in session it urgeo
that a bill be passed allowing the cOun'
ty to issue bonds for road improve,
ment. Such a bill was drawn and SEM
to our representatives in Raleigh Ou'
as the session was nearing its Gloss
they declined to introduce the meas
ure. We agree with the Enterprise u
it's position, but until arrangements
can be made for a bond issue prepare
ton for permanent road work Shou'
go on. The commissioners should OW
machinery and put the chain gang !,
doing permanent work. Too much va,
liable time has already been lost aD1
too much money spent in doing WOE
which is only temporary.-StateSVlD

GOOD CAMPAIGN DOCTRINE.

An excellent bit of campaign doc
trine is this from the Chapel Hill
News of last week. We have already
given very similar advice, but its rep
etition will do good rather than harm.
Says the News:
"We understand it to be the duty of
every man who is eligible to vote to
attend the primaries and nominating
conventions of his party and there do
his uttermost to see that men of char
acter and ability are chosen as candi-
dates for the various offices. A mis-
take made in the nominating conven-
ton cannot well be corrected at the
ballot box on the day of election. 1t
is the duty of the citizen to read or
otherwise inform himself, and to think
for himself as to the issues of a cam
paign. The man who is unable or I'M
willing to do this is unfit to vote. Now
is the time to begin to think about
these things. A Legislature and mem
bers of Congress are to be chosen this
year"

AN EDUCATIONAL TEST FOR
IMMIGRANTS.

With surprising unanimity the
of Representatives has voted
for an educational test for immi-
grants. This is gratifying, and it is
to be hoped that the Senate will CON
u promptly in the action of the
House.
An examination of recent immigra-
ton statistics proves the wisdom of
such a course. While the number of
immigrants is steadily increasing Cat
the present rate the number this year
will be about three times that of 1899
the character of the immigration is
just as rapidly de~teriorating. Fewer
immigrants from England, Scotland,
Ireland, Germany, etc., are coming
over, while there is a steady increase
in the stream of Italians, Poles, Huns,
etc., the mass Of whom make rather
undesirable citizens. An educational
test would exclude a large proportion
of these. It ought to be adopted.

that " a splendid group of mem !
coming to the front and one fullv o.n
able of developing Southern edna,
tional possibilities. He outlines RI,
plan of campaign Gin the Educational
Review, May) as follows:
"The idea is this: Go into a %loc.Iit,
just as the Slater board and the Ps''
body board have done, and get the peo.
pie to tax themselves. If there is mt
money enough to build a Drone,
schoolhouse, costing say $1,000, mt
$500 with what the people will raiss
and build it; then supplement what
they will pay for teachers, get better
teachers by paying more. Give the
people of a locality these facilities for
three years or four years, and when
they have had educational advantages
for that period then you may with.
draw your support; they will take carr
of it themselves after that. But a mil.
lion dollars for that purpose! Why
it is a mere trife. A hundred milliou
could be used, and a hundred million
will be used before the work is thor
oughly one."-Literary Digest.

LITERATURE, GOOD AND BAD.

"Read the Great Books" says the
title of an article on page 4, and it is
good advice. It must be remembered
that there is no virtue in mere read
ing, but only in reading wisely. Bet
ter hold your tongue than talk fool
ishly; better. read not at all than read
recklessly. The most expensive part
of reading is not the cost of the ma
terial, but the time spent in reading
and in thinking about what is read.
Still there are people who select their
newspapers and books because of the
cheapness in price, little thinking that
often it would be cheaper tS pay $25
or $50 to keep the unwholesome in
fuence of the paper off the mind and
character of the family than to pay 25
or so cents for the years subscription.
Then there is the man who selects his
paper because of its size; the quantity
is satisfactory, and he cares not
whether it be filled with foreign news,
sensational stories, or humbug adver-
tisements. He is brother to the man
who would pay more for a barrel of
bran than for a cup of gold dust.

BREAKING THE FOURTH COM
MANDMENT.

Here is an anecdote that we we're
about to put among our fourth page
jokes, but on second thought the point
made by the old preacher seems to con
tain a great deal more wisdom than
humor, for which reason we print the
item here and commend it to the con-
sideration of our readers:
The Rev. Peter Cartwright, the
famous pioneer Methodist circuit
rider, while travelling to an appoint
ment one day, saw two young men of
his acquaintance sitting idly on the
bank of a small stream, fishing. It
was a fine spring day, and the scent of
freshly plowed fields was in the air.
"Boys,"[ he said, "I am sorry to see
you breaking the fourth command
ment."
"Why, Uncle Peter" they said, with
a laugh at his expense, "this isn't Sun
day"
"I know it," he ~retorted, "'but you
are breaking the fourth command
ment. You forget that one part of it
says, six days shalt thou labor"

We are always glad to have our
friends send us articles that they think
worth publishing. Here is an excel
lent item that a Jackson County sub
scriber asks us to put before our read
ers:
"T can't is the most weakening ex-
preston in the language. Use it once,
and there is double the need of using
it the next time. Use it again and
again, and your muscles relax, and the
action of your heart weakens until the
door of death begins to yawn. Paral-
ysis is simply an accumulation of L
c~an'ts;' and, indeed, every disease in
the world is an Z can't;' and death is
but the aggregation of a life of Il
can'ts.' Exterminate the Z can't
tribe and you have destroyed every i'm
pediment in the way of your endless
progress"

A BATTLE FOR COTTON FARM
Frs.

For several weeks there have been
of a combination of the Amer
lean cotton ginning, cotton baling, and
cotton seed industries, and there is
good reason to believe that negotia-
lions of great interest to the Southern
cotton farmers are in progress. A dis
patch printed in our news columns
this week gives some of the details of
the scheme. IF the plan succeeds, the
farmers will be virtually forced to or
ganize. And they will have a much
bigger giant than the jute bagging
trust to wrestle with.

After all hat has appeared in our
columns regarding the moth catcher,
we are inclined tc think that few sales
will be made among our readers. But
we notice that the trap is offered for
sale in Greenville and elsewhere, and
to the testimony already given we add
that of DR.. James Fletcher. AS En-
tomologist Sherman said to us a few
days ago: "Such things invariably
play out before very long, but the in
ventor often makes a fortune before
the people learn" So it was with the
Limbless Cotton, and the Lipps' Fer
t~ilizers, which The Progressive Farm
er took the lead in exposing. Expe-
rience is indeed a dear school.
