PROTECTIVE TARIFF LEVIED
UPON IGNORANCE AND ILLITERAcY.
This is the Phase Of the Tariff Question that
supt. Joyner is Discussing in His
Speeches.

Prof. j. Y. Joyner, Superintendent Of
Public Instruction, returned yesterday
morning from Jacksonville, Onslow coun-
| ty, where he spoke Monday afternoon,
| making an educational speech to very
good crowd He will speak at KenIy
Thursday morning, and in Mangum town
ship Durham county, on Saturday.
Although Prof. Joyners speeches are
educational, he is discussing the tariff
question, too. He is dwelling forcibly on
the unavoidable protective tariff that
education and intelligence Ievies upon
ignorance and illiteracy. That's the
phase of the tariff question he is dis
cussing.
Talking along this line yesterday with
a News and Observer reporter, Prof Joy
rer said: 1T is protective tariff that
exists becaIse of the laws of God and
of nature, and for which no remedy is
to be found in legislation. The only REM
edy is universal education.
ITO illustrate this the States that
have been educating all their people for
several generations have been levying a
protective tariff upon those States that
have allowed the great masses of their
people to remain in d state OF compare
tive ignorance and illiteracy; for exam
pie, New England and the South. Massa-
chusetts and North Carolina
THE great masses of our folks are
paving with hard labor at IS cents Gay
for improved machinery invented by edu-
Gated brain and manufactured by trained
band at not less than four or five dollars
day. There is tariff of 1925 or $4.2a
levied upon lis by education. We work
at Is cents a day to pay for a thing Tie
makers of which get 81. or IS a day fol
their work.
"All tho wealth of uneducated India
and of ignorant Africa, with all their
wonderful natural resources, has been
poured into the lap Of little, educated,
free trade England. 1t is a protective
tariff that free trade England levies
through its education and civilization
upon ignorance.
The protective tariff that we are most
interested in today in North Carolina is
this tariff that is levied upon the great
masses of our people by the States whose
masses have been better educated and
trained 1t must continue TO be true thar
the uneducated and the unframed viii
be doomed to furnish free raw material
and pay for the brains that must be
mixed with it to transform it into forms
of value and usefulness, not by legisla-
ton, but by the laws OF God and nature.

merely sought their God in delaying
vegetable matter now seek him beyond
the stars.
Sir Henry Thompson, after 20 years
of investigation and thought devoted
to the subject, has just come out with
an article in which he states that he
has arrived at a belief in a God Of
infinite and eternal energy, power and
knowledge. 1t was just as much to be
expected today that he should have ar
rived at the conclusions he did as 1t
would have been certain had he made
his decision rs years ago, that he. would
have arrived at the negations Of Hux-
ley or Spencer. Sir Henry refuses to
accept revealed religion and believes
that the Deity does not interfere In the
operations of nature or any other af-
fairs of this world. He speaks Of 1.-THE
Unknown God" He has arrived at the
altar which Paul saw on the Acropo-
lis, when, standing on Mars Hill, he
proclaimed to the Athenians. Whom
therefore we ignorantly worship, Him
declare 1 unto you."-New York Press.

VALUE OF TIME.-The value Of odd
minutes Is illustrated by a story told
in a curious little volume Of advice
printed in England. A large firm re-

applicant. He arrived at five minutes

exaggeration the chairman explained
that each director had wasted five
minutes and that made an hour in all.

PULLED ELEPHANT TUsK.

Several Horses.
"I think the most novel thing I ever
saw was the pulling Of an elephants
tusk." said a travelling man at the
Honing hotel to a Cincinnati CONNER
cial Tribune reporter.

while I was in the City Of Mexico.

lone day one Of the animal men re-
ported to the Orrins that the big ele-
phant was acting strangely. A surgeon
was sent for, but he could not discover
what was wrong. The keeper the next
day reported that the animal would
not eat. The surgeon was sent for
again, and he found that the elephants
tusk was decaying at the root. Cocaine
was injected and other medicines ap-
piled to ease the pain, but the big fel-
| low seemed to suffer more each day.
So It was decided to pull the tusk. But
how to do it was another thing. The
surgeon with his assistant, however,
decided on a plan. I was invited by
the agent to witness the operation.
1.-THE big elephant was led into the
middle of the menagerie, where the
stakes were driven. He was then
chained to the stakes and pulled back
on his launches. His big trunk was
strapped up over his back. Animal
keepers were stationed all around arm
ed with hooks to fight him If he be-
came mad during the operation. The
doctors then began work. Almost a
bucket full of cocaine was injected into
the gum and side Of the head. The
doctor, being satisfied that the big fel-
low was dopy, took an augur and bored
hole through the tusk near the gum
This took a long time, but every now
and then more dope would be injected
After the hole was bored through the
tusk a steel rod was showed through
the hole. To this a strong rope was
attached. The long rope was then COW
cred with tar and the rope was wound
around the tusk. The rope was then
run through a pulley attached to seve-
raj stakes. A team Of four horses was
in readiness and the rope was attached
to the traces. When everything was
in readiness the horses were whipped
up. 1t was a long, hard pull, but out
came the big tusk. The monster ele-
phant, however, fought and tried to get
away, but he was chained so we'll that
he was powerless. After the tusk came
out the big fellow was released and he
went back to his quarters, evidently
more satisfied than any one with the
operation"

AT THE ALTAR SEEN BY PAUL.
The Scfentists Coming Round to the
True Faith.

True Faith.
It Is not many years since the teach
ings of Darwin and Huxley. of Tyndall
and Herbert Spencer, caused people In
large numbers to give up God for biol
ogy and replace the New Testament
with a chapter culled from Synthetic
Philosophy. While the most numerous
followers Of the movement were peo-
pie Of imperfect education and limited
mental training, it also swept along
with it for the time being many mature
and cultured minds. The scientific dis
coveries of the leaders Of the school
were so great in Importance; what they
could prove seemed to imply so much
more than they could prove; our know
edge of the material world and of Its
life principles was so wonderfully in
creased and facts so skilfully made the
servants of hypothesis. that the mind
was easily and naturally led away
from the conception of God as all-con-
trolling. rational, personal intelligence.
Huxley called upon us to worship the
material universe and Spencer's deity
was an unknowable energy, "imperson-
al, unconscious, unthinking, unthink-
able"
A few years have passed, few tides
have ebbed and flowed, a few times has
the promise been made good that seed
time and harvest shall not fall from the
earth, and there are left only scattered
remnants Of the great party of scienti-
fic negation. We can read Tyndall and
Huxley and Darwin now without hav-
ing one jot or title taken away from
our faith; nay, can sweep all their
scientific investigations and discoveries
together, and as DR.. Zahm has done In
his Evolution and Dogma" turn them
to a helping of our belief in the God of
the Christians. The more science had
advanced the more the path which at
first seemed to lead directly away from
God has turned in His direction. We
have the palmetto spectacle Of Herbert
Spencer, old, almost forgotten, await
ing death and acknowledging the
breakdown of the philosophy to the ex-
position of which he has devoted his
life, from the necessity which he sees

BEYOND BELIEF.-When Abraham
Lincoln was young man, his prodlgl-
Gus strength and his skill in wrestling
were matters of note throughout CEN
trail Illinois. Few indeed were the men
who could boast of having laid him on
his back.
Somewhere along in the thirties there
was a case on trial in one Of the cir
cult courts in that section in which an
effort was made to impeach the testi-
mony of one of the witnesses. The evil
dence was conflicting. Some would be-
lieve the witness on oath and others
would not.
At last a middle aged man with a
determined expression of counterance
was called to the stand. The usual
question was put touching the reputa-
ton of the witness for truth and verac-
ity:
would you believe him on oath?"
mo, | wouldn't" he answered, and
before the lawyer on the opposite side
could interpoSe he gave his reason:
Il heerd him braggin' onct that he'd
throwed Abe Lincoln in fair an
square raSSle."
No other witnesses were called. The
attempt TO impeach was successful
