eFcss will not adopt any measure pro-
vidIng for the exclusive control Of any
part OF the range by n few stock grow
ors.
The public range belongs to the pub
lie. and all stock growers have an equal
right to occupy it. The owners OF
small herds fear that if a leasing sys-
tenn were adopted this right to occupy
the range would be taken from them
and that it would be absorbed by the
owners of large herds and enormous
capital.
It has been said that the present
system leads to o~vercrowding. and
hence to the destruction of the grass.
Possibly there is a S of truth
in his in certain localities; but the
answer is that if self-interest does not
induce stock growers to protect the
public range from destruction the grass
viii have to be trampled down.
The small owners fear that they
would be crowded out in either event,
and they have a right to be protected
in their occupancy as well as COM
panies that own thousands of cattle or
sheep, and hence would secure control
of thousands of acres under a leasing
system.
The whole policy of the government
has been to prevent a monopoly of the
range, and this can only be done by
preventing strong and wealthy stock
companies from obtaining rental rights
to vast areas of land. AS for the ulti-
mate effect upon the range, it may be
left with other questions of a similar
character respecting the public domain
tC the solution that will come in time
Whatever that solution may be, it will
certainly not be more disastrous to the
small stock grower than a leasing pol
icy which would give the wealthy com
panies a legal right to drive him off

A Scientific Discovery,

Kadol does for the stomach that
which it is unable to do for itself, even
when but slightly d%isordered or over
loaded. Kodol supplies the natural
juices of digestion and does the work
of the stomach. relaxing the nervous
tension, while the inlamed muscles of
that organ are allowed to rest and heal.
Kodol dlgests what you eat and enables
the stomach and digestive organs to
transform all food into rich, red blood.

Advertising is not different from 9TH
er matters pertaining to business. 1t
demands attention. A merchant should
never fake the public in any degree
whatever. Every advertisement should
be true and should be lived up to just
as religiously as a bond. To attract
the attention of the people merchants
should endeavor to present something
unusual in an unusual manner Old
commonplace methods must be avoided
If results are to be obtained. Special
ties should be brought out with promi-
hence and extraordinary bargains given
first place. In advertising clearance
sales prices should be given in plain
figures and the sales should be genuine.
The people can be fooled once but
the second time they are skeptical.
Merchants who give care and attention
to their advertising make it a very pro-
fitable investment.

One of the first clients that Mr.. Reed
hou ne lClilSu lloLl Soh6leoo anu
took up the practice of law in New
York, was a big railroad company.
Reed fought the case and won it. Then
he sat down and wrote a letter to the
president of the company. The let
ter inclosed a bill for $4,000 and was
semi-apologetic in tone, because of
what seemed to Reed to be the huge
ness of his bill. The former speaker
always valued his services at a lower
figure than did those whom he serv-
ed.
A few days later he received a letter
from the president of the railroad com
pany.
I'VE return your bill for $780,"
said the letter. I'VE do not think it at
all in proportion to the services rend-
cred and are surprised that you do not
appreciate its value of legal services.

Giles is colored man who was de-
MED the privilege of registering as a
voter under the new constitution of
Alabama, and the case was brought
to test the validity Of the portion Of
the State constitution bearing upon
this question. The relief sought
was denied on the ground that the
case is political.
Justice Holmes, who delivered
the opinion, said that for he to in
terfere would be unheard of relief
in cases presenting only political
ques ions. The court as a whole
did not pass upon the question of
jurisdiction, which was the question
certified by the Circuit Court for
the middle district Of Alabama, and
Justice Harlan dissented on the
ground that the court should have
declined to assume jurisdiction.
Justices Brewer and Brown uni
ted in dissent in which they up.
held the jurisdiction of the Federal
courts on the ground that as Giles
was denied the right of voting for a
member of Congress by the refusal

question was involved.

The Raleigh Times of April 23rd
contained the following pertinent
editorial observation:
at is not a popular mission the
corporation commission is on, in
structing tax-listers az to the re-
cent laws for taxing property, with
the ultimate idea of raising taxes on
real estate.
Well we should say not, and we
opine that the mission referred to
will grow more and more unpopular
as the weeks and months go by. And
why should it not be unpopular?
Think of commission being sent
out from Raleigh at the expense of
the tax Payers with the express OBJ
ject of devising ways and means
whereby to wrest from the people
more taxes to pay for democratic
folly and extravaganza such as en-
acted by the last legislature! And
then think of the enormous debt
hanging over the state? and how, by
whom and,for what ignoble purposes
this debt was created! The idea of
sending three ringsters on such a
fannt NJ n NJ &hio 90
the year in order to teach the as
SCISSORS what valuation to place upon
real estate in the different sections
in order to raise a certain sum of
money, is new to the people of
North Carolina. 1t looks like
"sizing the pile" and taking III
whole business, and this appears to
be the ultimate aim of the crowd in
control-It will be fine recreation
no doubt for these honorable gentry
to ride over the state and have their
expenses paid out of the peoples
money, but where's the man who
feels that lac is so grossly undertaxed
as to nece ssitate such measures, and
where's the person that believes 6
man from Raleigh knows more
about values in any rural section
than three competent men living in
such locality?
