Japan Is Thoroughly Ready.

The Tokyo correspondent Of EIy paper

THOU SHALT NOT STEAL"

The Norfolk Public Ledger publishes
in full sermon preached on Sunday by
Rev. A. r. Shaw. pastor of the First
Presbyterian church in Portsmouth, on
THE Eighth Commandment" emphasiz-
ing debt Paying" 1t is an able. strong
and vigorous sermon and created a
marked impression. We regret that we
have not the space to reproduce it. From
the sermon, we make this timely ex-
tract:
mo one who rightly values civil and
religious liberty can view without alarm
and indignation the formation of trusts,
greedy corporations which have been
justly styled commercial cormorants
and political corruptionists." To these
trust promoters the command, Thou
shalt not steaI,'' is an empty, meaningless
injunction. While it is maintained that
these vicious combines exist and thrive
under legal sanction, it is undeniable
that when regarded from a moral point
of view they are rotten to the core. 1t
is not my purpose, neither is it my pro-
vince as a minister of the gospel, to dis
cuss the tariff as a foster OF trusts. |
advert to the subject as illustrative Of an
inordnate, overmastering desire for the
quick accumulation of wealth.
In enumerating the ways in which
people are guilty of theft We make room
for only two, the two that are altogether
too common among people of wealth and
rV.l< I>xy
Mr.. Shaw ought to be read and needed:
Listing property for taxation at far
less than its real value. The maintain
ance of Government necessitates taxa
ton. The under valuation of property
for the purpose of evading the payment
of equitable tax is a species of crooked
ness which many influential citizens and
church members do not scruple to adopt.
In the matter of listing property for
taxation we should be extremely guarded
lest we lay ourselves liable to the charge
of theft and perjury.
Failure to purchase a half-fare rail-
road ticket for child over five years OF
age. How frequently do we hear persons
exulting over their success in passing
such children over the road without a
ticket. The railroad does not compel our
children to board it's trains but it does
announce that if children over five years
of age ride on the trains they must pay
half fare. AS the conductor comes to
collect tickets, to advise the child to
shrink up and keep still, or to misrep-
resent the age of the child when ques-
toned on this point, is not an honest
procedure. While some roads may prac-
tice eXtortion on the people, it is evident
that the public conscience has not yet
reached a very acute stage in dealing
with the roads. To defraud railroad is
thought by many to be a legitimate piece
of business. In it's application to rail-
roads the command, Thou shalt not
steal" has not been annulled."
Mr.. Shaw is a North Carolinian. a
brother of Judge Shaw, of Greensboro, a
preacher of the gospel who proclaims the
practical truth in way to make men bet
ter. He doesn't grovel at the feet of the
trusts. 40 80

Here is the way q prominent Repub-
can puts it: ~There are 10000 negroes
who can register and vote. There are
about 10000 white Republicans who are
not ashamed to be called Republicans.
This gives 100000 votes as beginning
for a strong minority party. If we en-
a ourage the negro to register and give
him our moral support in time $4,000
nes roes will vote and we will increase
our white vote to 100000, and who shall
savlNe may not in our own name and
adyoca ting Republican principles win a
victory in North Carolina in ten years?
Will we ever win if we look to buy our
recruits with office? Does not ex-
perience demonstrate the fact that the
men to whom we have given the biggest
offices in the past have brought the Re-
publicans othing in the way of increased
votes"

in transportation. If one remedy fSa l.
others can be applied. In railroads as
in other business it is true that at all

LIQUOR OR NO LIQUOR.

LIQUOR OR NO LIQUOR.
Statesville Mascot.
The Mascot from its foundation to this
good hour has been a prohibition paper
and wishes to announce that its editors
will circulate petition in the near fu-.
ture in Iredell County and the city of
Statesville asking two things:
First, that the members of the LegisIa-
ture from this County be instructed to
pass an act prohibiting the manufacture
and sale of spirituous liquors in Iredell
County outside the city of Statesville:
Second, that the members of the Legis-
lature from this county be instructed to
pass an act granting the voters of the
city of Statesville an opportunity to say
on the first Monday in May, 1908, wheth
er or not they want to prohibit the sale
of liquor in this city from and after that
date.
We will also advocate an act by the
Legislature prohibiting the manufacture
and sale of liquor in the State. The
writer of this article has all his life
longed for this opportunity which now
presents itself Of fighting this traffic be-
fore the white voters of this county, and
now that the amendment is in full force
and effect with the first election held UNI
der it, from this day on, survive or
perish, will never let up the fight on the
whiskey traffic until victory comes and
the nefarious business is stopped.
The whiskey traffic is the great curse
of this nation and is doing more against
the church and the Christian religion and
is making more widows and orphans and
is sending more souls to hell than any
other evil known. 1t blights the life of
the youth of the land and cuts them
down in their early manhood as cumber-
ers of the ground.
1t runs the criminal courts and fills
UP the iails and warehouses and peni-
tentiaries and levies a heavy tax upon
the whole people to pay the costs of the
acts of it's victims. 1t erects its hydra
head wherever permitted in every civil
lied community and boldly casts its
lurid light of temptation in the pathway
of every man, but The Mascot from this
day on proposes to challenge its further
progress in this community and appeals
to every man and woman in this town
and county who wants this business
stopped to give us their assistance.

THEY ARE ALL BANDITS.

They say that John w. Gates, the new
Wall street Spectator, who made mill
lions on the l.. & n. deal, has lost SIS
600, 900 through the Rockefeller and Van
derbilt combination in the Northwestern
deals He is very wrathy and calls them
bandits" The whole outfit of stock
gamblers in New York are gamblers pure
and simple, each trying to do" the 9TH
ers. A few months ago Gates was the
bandit that did UP Belmont; today
Rockefeller and others "do' Gates. And
so it goes-the mad rush for getting rich
quick. Necessarily, the man who sue
ceeds gets what he has not earned and
takes it from some one who probably in
his turn was a bandit" on smaller
scale.

One of the most notable speeches at
the American Bankers Association was
to the branch bank proposition. 1t would
result in a mighty bank trust and con-
vert all local banks into mere agencies
of the great bank trust with headquar-
tiers in New York. The bankers of the
country at large approve Mr.. Dawess
position.

to betray their birthright for mess of
pottage, but they were few in number.
The day they accepted office at the hands
of Pritchard, who was known to be dis
tributing offices as bait to land Demo-
Gratis on the Republican string-from
the hour the first dollar of the salary
burned their pockets, not one of the
Federal office-holders had any influence
in controlling votes, and he was as dead
as a political factor as last years bird
nest. 1t destroyed him among his
neighbors, root and branch-and his in
fluence will never be restored.
The spectacle of man of ability,
known as a county or State leader in
the Democratic party, accepting a Fed
eral office-and thereupon either advo-
eating Republican policies or sowing the
seeds of dscord in the Democratic ranks
tends to encourage the Qugald Dalget-
ty spirit in politics. The religious and
moral leaders, if they wish to keep the
fountain of political life free from pol
luton, must hurl their anathemas
against the acceptance of brides in the
shape of office by men high up in the
world of politics or business. If the
man of education and leadership sells
his influence for an office, why may not
the humble and illiteratc citizen sell his
vote for dollar or pint of whiskey? 1t
is a thousand times worse for leader, a
man who has enjoyed advantages of
education and position, to sell his infiu-
ence than for man denied such ad-
vantages to sell his vote. How can the
follower be expected to resist the
temptation to satisfy his desire for
money or drink by selling his vote when
he sees preachers and others condone or
applaud the editor or lawyer or leader
who has sold his influence for an office?

A SIGNIFICANT EDITORIAL

N. c. Baptist.
Under the caption prohibition in
Cumberland, the News and Observer
discusses in it's leading editorial of No
yember 7th the recent election in this
county. Mr. Daniels says This is the
most significant election held in North
Carolina this year" That is comprehen-
sive, but is every word the truth. Our
election in Cumberland is the first Local
Option election held in the State under
the amended constitution and 1t shows
what can be done if the people of the
saloon counties will use the present OPP
portunity and strike while the iron is
hot" The people of Cumberland had an
opportunity to see the blessing OF being
without saloons, and even with law not
as strong as it ought to be- and VIII De
made, they said emphatically that they
did not want either High License or Low
License.
Anti Saloon League Committees work
ed increasingly and judiciously from the
beginning to end, and as we review II
now, it does not seem that at any point
the campaign could have been strength
ened.
Indeed, this is the golden opportunity
all over the State Let those in saloon
counties, who are opposed to the Saloon
get together and lay plans Tor cam
paign to run the saloon out. The hour
has struck in this State when we can
defend our homes and our institutions
from this traffic, which destroys and
curses. Let those who, under favorable
conditions. have fought the saloon with
o,,t xric+orv All these wears use the pres
emf. when the anti-saloon sentiment is
rising to high tide, and strike down this
monster of inquiry

other counties to follow

These are a few samples of the way
the Republican party has gained strength
by giving offices to former Democrats.
1t has not paid very handsome return on
the Investment up to this hour. There are
some Republicans who believe it would
pay better to reorganize the Republican
party upon the basis of giving offices
only to men who will support the party
openly and not be ashamed to be known
as Republicans. Having tried the policy
of getting Republican leaders by giving
Offices to disgruntled Democrats, and
promising offices to any Democrat who
would run for office on a so-called In
dependent ticket, they say: Why not try
to build up a respectable Republican
party of Republicans by Republicans and
for Republicans?

BARITES.
Sometimes Called Heavy Spar, Pure
and White.

Barite or Barytes is very heavy
white mineral used largely in the adul
teration of white lead
1t is scarcely ever found without its
being somewhat stained or discolored
from its connection with earthly or iron
substances.
The mineral is carefully assorted,
crushed and treated to a sulphurc acid
bath to remove these stains.
1t is then ground to an impalpable
powder foated on water or in air, the
residue being reground and again feat
ed.
The fine material is packed in barrels
and sells at about $1,000 per ton in
Chicago,
The crude barites, when fairly free
from iron Stains, is worth about g 90
per ton at st. Louis.
That city is the great barites mar
ket Of the country.
1t handles the great deposits OF Mis-

Just south OF Mexico on the Illinois

OCHRES AND UMBERS.
Unusual Advantages offered to MANI.
facturers.

Ochre and selma earth, native earths
tinted with iron, are in abundance.
Calcining these earths expels the
water and changes them into red oxide.
The nature Of the associated earths also
influence the color assumed by an ochre;
with aluminium compounds 1t develops
red or violet tints, while the calcareous
varieties take brownish red and dark
brown hues.
The principal mineral reds owe their
color to oxides Of iron which is in great
quantity throughout the Western and
Southern portion OF the district. These
reds are closely allied to the yellow
ochres,
Tints passing from orange to deep
purple reds are obtained by the calcin-
ing of the yellow ferro oxide, or rather
the yellow ochre so prevalent with us.
Rouge, or Mars Red, Crocus, Indian
Re and Turkey Red are all pure ferric
oxide varying in depth of tint fro the
burning or calcination in different de-
grees of heat. The other iron reds are
all of the nature OF ochres.
Iron and manganese, two minerals
found in abundance here, are the
sources OF the principal brown pigments
Some OF these browns are intermediate
products between yellow and red ochre;
these colors may be heightened or other
wise by burning.
Vandyke Brown is a pure iron oxide
and iron earths Of clear brown hue.
Many shades Of FELLOWS, reds and browns
can be prepared from these earths by
mixing and by different degrees of heat
used in burning or calculation.
Baryte White has been alluded to in
special article in this issue
The district offers unusual advantages
for the manufacture OF these colors, low
priced coal, cheap lands and an album
dance OF raw material.
The market price OF yellow ochre in
New York is $500 to $1,000 Ier ton; OF
lumber $1,000 to $500 PER ton

Clay near the Ohio river at Tolu, six

Of galena have been mined that weighed
800, 900 and the largest 400 pounds.
Great quantities OF galena are found
in kidney form and among fiuor spar.
Thisis notably the case in the Cullen,
the lsndell, the Hodge, the Columbia,
the Franks, the Morning Star and the
Tabb mines.
The smelted lead is exceptionally soft
and is much sought after by white lead
manufacturers who pay premium for
it above the market price.
1t is a rare thing elsewhere to find
galena in matrix or gangue that is
marketable at good profitable prices.
No such conditions exist anywhere
else in the world.
