The news comes from Philadelphia
that the officials of the Pennsylvania
railroad have effected another merger,
writes a Washington correspondent.
This time it is the Philadelphia Balti-
more & Washington railroad that has
absorbed the Philadelphia Wilmington
& Baltimore and the Baltimore & Po-
tomac railroads and will be merged
with the Baltimore & Ohio. bringing
the Pennsylvania and the baltimore
& Ohio railroads under one corporate
management. With such merger
taking place in his Immediate neigh
borhood it is difficult to understand
what glory the president can take unto
himself by virtue Of his suit against
the Northern Securities company. The
virtual consolidation of the B. & o.
and the Pennsylvania systems has
been effected for some time and still
the attorney general makes no move
to enjoin the mergers. Another
phase of the new organization will con-
SlBL VA lliC sue VI aOOilOS W tliE 4eAl6ul
of $4,000, 000.. This issue, it is al
legged, is to cover the expense of the
proposed union station in washington,
but as is well known congress, by the
provisions of the bill now resting in
the house committee on the District of
Columbia, will donate lands and privi-
leges to the merged company which
are valued at nearly that sum and it is
predicted by persons familiar with the
methods of procedure followed by great
corporations that the time is not far
distant when tl1esbonds will be taken
up by an increased issue of stock
which win represent the value of the
donation congress will make to the
Pennsylvania railroad. If there is any
sincerity about Mr. Roosevelts pro-
testatlons that he is opposed to great
railroad monopolies, lie will turn his
rattention to the nefarious bill which
congress proposes to pass and to the
Pennsylvania railroad trust, the organ
ization of which is being perfected al
Iuasf before his eyes.

REAL THINGS IN EDUCATION


President Hall Of Clark university,

slang. It's good for them. Let them
use it. Slang aids the boy or girl OF
from IA to 10 years of age to acquire
fiuency."
Aw! Cheese the cultured layout;
Cut out the brainy talk.
This wise guy has it coppered,
And he wins in a walk.
Get onto education
You'll nab it in a bunch,
If. you're like old Columbus,
And follow up your hunch.
WHO was the duck that figured
This lot of grammer dope?
Oh, pass him up. He's nutty.
What us kids need is rope
We're next to all the gable
But when we're due to balk
IS when the teacher orders
A first-class string of talk.
That gazabo-- that Euclid

ENCOURAGING GENIUS.

OUR friend Manning, of the Hendsr-
son GOLD LEAF, copies with evident
State pride the poem recently fur
nished the Post by its Greensboro cor
respondent under the soul-stirring
title of The Eagle and the Crow"
the product Of a young Guilford
genius whose spring sap in the poetry
line has just begun to rise. The
touching lines went straight to Editor
Manning's heart. 1t is the mission OF
the Post to unearth the dormant
beauties OF our dear old Statc.-Ral-
eigh Post.
Our esteemed contemporary must
not overlook its own Wake county
poet in it's patriotic purpose to cult
yate budding geniuses in other parts

introducing to a waiting world the
bright particular star whose soul
enrapturing threnodv it was oul

Our esteemed contemporary the
Durham Herald says for tho ben
eft Of the GOLD LEAF that it would
not hesitate to right a wrong it had
done anyone, but it would be bit
humiliating to have to admit that it
was wrong concerning a matter about
which it had. raised SO much sand.
That is reassuring and we had hoped
as much. But the GOLD LEAF does
not look at the matter from the
humiliating standpoint-and when
the Herald knows the whole story we
do not believe it will take that view
either. Had we not 'sraissd so much
sand" we would not have accom-
plished what we have toward an
amicable understanding OF the matter
and we would rather know and admit
our own wrong than 60 on believing
wrong of the other fellow. This may
be ''humiliating" but it is honest for
all that.

PAY YOUR POLL. TAX.
(irpenville Weekly.

The election law now requires that
the voter shall have paid his poll
tax Gf liable to poll tax on or before
the first day of May in the year in
which he offers to vote, and shall. be-
fore being permitted to vote, present
his tax receipt signed by the sheriff of
the county or tax collector of the
township where he resided when the
tax was paid. The law is mandatory,
and the payment Of the poll tax with
in the specified time is absolutely
necessary. No poll tax, no vote,
therefore every Democrat who values
his vote and would not lose it,,
should, if he is liable TO poll tax, take
the precaution to pay it in time, get
his tax receipt, and put it where it
may not be lost before the day of
election.
