HOW TO BE LUCKY.

DR.. Henry Wallace, from whose edi-
torials in Wallace's Farmer we so Of
ten quote, tells in the last number of
that paper how to be lucky. We really
believe that the prescription will do
all that the Doctor claims for it, and
as it is not patented, we take the iber-
ty of passing it on. Here it is:
"Go to sleep at ten, wake at six, and
get up when you wake. Eat what is
set before you and don't grumble. Do
the work that lies before you in the
very best way you can, all the while
thinking how you can do it better.
Until you are forty do more than you
ask pay for; after that you will get
pay for more than you do. Don't
wobbfe either in your walk or your
purposes. Don't learn to chew or smoke
or drink. Don't allow yourself to lie
or swear or take advantage of the nee
essities of the unfortunate. Look
habitually on the bright side of things,
but don't fear to look on the dark
side when it is turned toward you.
Believe that God intended you to be
a credit to Him and that nothing
really bad can happen you so long
as you trust Him. Be economical
without being stingy, plain spoken but
not rude. Be as shrewd as you can
but honest by all means, for no one
wants to employ shrewdness without
honesty nor diplomacy without sin
cerity. If misfOrtunes come, make the
best of them and don't cry over split
milk.
off you do all these you will be
lucky, for you will be the sort of man
always in demand everywhere in all
this wide world. A job will always be
waiting for you and the older you
become the more profitable will be
your job"

The post-check currency scheme,
which has been explained in preceding
numbers of The Progressive Farmer,
failed of passage at the session of
Congress just ended, but it's promoters
are still working energetically and are
confident of success next winter. The
post-check will be a great convenience
to all classes of people, especially to
farmers, and it is not strange that the
measure sprung so speedily into popu-
larity. As Wallace's Farmer says, the
people have decided that they want a
postal currency and Congress should
understand now that they will not give
up the fight until they get the post
check or something better.
The progressive farmer., 1902-07-08

Congress voted to make good at the
public expense the losses sustained by
the Charleston and Buffalo Exposi-
tions. The Buffalo people claimed
that the Mckinley tragedy was re-
sponsible for their loss; the Charleston
people said, eff you are to give Buff
falo $5OO,OOO, pay our little bill of
100000, too" We are glad to see the
action of Congress in this matter al
most universally condemned. It was
a misuse of public money. Moreover,
we fear very much that a precedent
has been set that will force the as
sumption of the debts of the great St.
Louis Exposition in 1904 And then
where will the matter end?

WHAT CAN YOU DO FOB THE EDUCA
TIONAL REVIVAL?
What can you do?

\ What can you do!
Do somethingI There are so many
things to be done, calling for simple
service that I hardly know what to
suggest.
There is not a woman here who can
not help improve some public school
house. There is not person here who
cannot make"some family send child
rem to school, where heretofore the
children have remained out of school.
There is not a citizen who cannot
convert some voter to an active belief
in improving the public schools by
voting special local tax for the great
est special local good. There is not
one of>us who cannot teach the follow
ing facts:
1. That no community on earth has
a satisfactory system of schools with
out a special local tax for that pur-
pose, illustrating by every town of
Importance in North Carolina and By
ever prosperous rural community in
the United States.
2. That intelligent enterprising peo-
pie favor the tax. ulustration-near-
ly all people who are changing resi-
dence in the State are going from
where taxes are low to where they are
higher and for local purposes and es-
pecially for schools.
3. That taxation is a necessary part
of civilization. The savage pays no
tax. His government is the only one
where there is. universal tax exemp-
tion. He is his own sheriff, and court,
and gallows, and road builder, and he
would consider public school tax as
an abridgement of his liberty.
4. That thirty cents on one hundred
dollars of property means only $1.5O
on $500 and that from three-fourths to
six-sevenths of the taxpayers of
North Carolina are assessed for less
than $500.
5. That North Carolina cannot
reach its fullest stature of manhood
and womanhood so long as its citizen
ship is trained in our present school
houses and SO long as those who are to
teach and inspire them are paid less
than is paid to cotton pickers and to-
bacco emmers.-From Address by

Avery good argument for a reform
atory for young criminals is this item
from a recent number OF tue Michigan
Christian Advocates:
A writer in the North American
Review asserts that manual training
is almost as good a preventive of
crime as vaccination is of smallpox.
: "What per cent of prisoners under
your care have received any manual
training ?' Northern man asked the
warden of Southern penitentiary.
"Not one per cent" replied the war
den.
"HaVe you no mechanics in prison 2"
"Only one mechanics house
painter"
"Have you any shoemakers
'ENever had a shoemaker"
"Have you any tailors?"
"Never had a tailor"
"Any carpenters?

could draw straight line"

Speaking of Senator Pritchard's bill
giving ex-Confederates who later
joined the Federal Army a pensionaBle
status" the Washington correspond
ent of the Post says it will distribute
about $f,OOO,OOO, the bulk of which will
go to North Carolina" We wonder
if this is really true. Many of the
class to be benefited are doubtless de-
serving, but we are inclined to believe
that they are in the minority. "The
man who processes loyalty to two ar
mics is disloyaI to both," Texas
Congressman said, and we agree with
him.

Congress has adjourned. It did one
great work-provided for the building
of the Isthmian Canal. It has one
great stain on its record-its neglect
of Cuba. The failure of the Cuban
reciprocity scheme is especially dis
appointing to President Roosevelt,
who left no stone unturned in his eff
fort to secure it's passage. He has the
satisfaction of knowing that he was
right, and it is better to be a right
President than a successful President.

As noted in our news columns, the
House last week~passed the bill ap-
propriating $4,000 each for the erec-
tion of monuments to the North Caro-
lima Revolutionary Generals, Davidson
and Nash. The bill has passed the
Senate at several previous sessions,
but must now again be acted on by
that body. The measure has been pend

the Continental Congress, but its final
passage next winter is now regarded
as certain.

FOREST DESTRUCTION IN THE APPA-
LACHIANs,

To one who has travelled throughout
the woodless regions of the Southwest
or seen in Mexico the unhappy results
of deforestation, the movement now
on foot in the United States for the
preservation of our forests is mat
ter of great interest. A bill is before
Congress for the reservation by the
Federal Government of large forest
area in the South Appalachian region.
Because this bill calls for the expendi-
ture of what appears a large sum of
money, it is earnestly opposed by some
of the members of Congress. And be-
cause the public at large is not quite
clear of the feeling of our fathers
that a wood is an evil thing, and must
be fought with ak and fire in order to
make room for a home and a farm,
the people look upon this and others
movements TO preserve our forest
areas with unconcern. It is high time
that we should cease to feel that a
tree is an enemy. It is true that in
some sections of our country, where
there is an abundant rainfall, forests
will grow again after the hills have

1t is to be hoped that the Asheboro
Courier correctly interprets public
sentiment in the paragraph which fol-
lows. The country has suffered
enough at the hands of the class it
condemns, and they should be in espe-
cial disfavor this campaign year in
North Carolina. Says the Courier:
The day of trimmers and "toting"
water on both shoulders is over. Shif-
tiness and double dealing have had
their day. Straddlers are not in de-
mand. Courageous men of firm con-
vfction are at premium, while timid
time-servers are at a discount every
where. The man who talks to suit the
crowd he is with is not selling above
par, but he who has convictions and a
will and way of his own with decent
regard for the opinions of others is
the trusted friend in whom honest
men, confde and pin their faith to.

Judge Clark is being advertised as
a man who will stand for the people
against the corporations, and in the
manufacturing sections Ju5ge Brown
is being doomed by Mr.. Nicholson as
ga friend of small corporations" That
such is the case is discreditable to the
State and damaging to the judiciary.
AS to the character and attitude of a
candidate for judge, it should be
enough to say that he is impartial and
incorruptible; whatsoever is more than
this comethN of evil.

Incidentally, the military authori-

AS if the South had not been humil-
lated enough by the pugilistic feats of
Senators Tillman, McLaurin and
Money, last week Senator Bailey, of
Texas, made an uniustifable assault
on Senator Beveridge, of Indiana. If
the Senate had dealt little more just
ly and severely with Senators Tillman
and McLaurin, it might have saved it
self much subsequent trouble. At any
rate, the Southern people must save
themselves from further disgrace by
bringing the force of outraged public
sentiment to bear on these hot-headed
representatives of ours.
