RATHER SEVERE.

Newspapers have TO stand much severe
criticism. Religious papers, when trou-
bled by criticism within in the church,
''get even" by criticiszing what they call
the secular press. At the recent meet
ing of the New Jersey Methodist Confer
ence. the Rev. DIR. James NJ Buckley gave
the secular press a heavy dig by the fol-
lowing declarations: You can't rely on
the secular press to stand up for mo-
raIity that will interfere with the politi-
cal success of the party the paper repre-
sents. We have never found an independ-
ent paper, and we read 469 exchanges.
Isn't Or. Buckley too severe? He says
that he has never found an independent
paper in all his 469 exchanges. What does
he mean by an independently paper ?
Surely there are many who do not care
for the success of any party Some of
them are more influenced by the count
ing room than by political party bias.

TAX VALUE WILL BE DOUBLED.

If the State is prosperous, that fact
should appear on the tax books. The as
sessing officers will settle the question
whether all the talk of prosperity and
development in North Carolina is true.
If it is true, it will show on the tax
books, or the tax-assessing officers will
fail to perform their sworn duty. In
this connection we print the following
from the Dunn Guide:
In consequence of the enhancement
of real estate, the building of railroads
and factory enterprises, it is estimated
that the taxable property of Harnett
county will be doubled. The amount now
is little more than two million dollars"
Harnett is truly going forward in every
way-industrially, educationally morally,
progressively. 1t is a good county, popu-
lated by good people. They have long
lacked easy communication with the
world of commerce, but with new rail-
reads and great manufacturing enter
prises building and projected, it is des-
tined to become one of the most pros
porous counties in the State.
Its prosperity-the prosperity of every
other county in the State-if it is real,
ought to show on the textbooks.

NORTH CAROLINA DID BETTER

In commenting a good act much talked
about and widely heralded in remote
State it is often the case that common
datjon is withheld from those nearer
hcme who deserve it most. The Pres
byterian Standard of this week has the
following:
North Carolina will have to copy the
New York way of doing things the next
time we want any temperance legislation
The New York Assembly has just passed
law raising the license taxes fifty per
cent. on the theory that it is better to
tax liquor than TO tax land This will re-
suit in the closing of many saloons. and
Ireweries connected with saloons. But
the way the law was passed was the
remarkable thing. Sixteen detectives
were on hand to keep the liquor men from
bribing the Legislators with a fund of
$3.50, 900, raised for the purpose, and then
The party managers herded their mem
bers in the legislative chamber, kept the
liquor lobby with liquid refreshments
from getting nigh them, and so passed
the bill.
Instead of holding New York up for
North Carolina to emulate the Standard
should hold North Carolina up as
standard for New York. The North Car
Gina Legislature of 1908 increased the Ii
quor tax exactly 100 per cent-just
double New York's increase. 1t was done
almost unanimously, without much pres
sure either for or against it. 1t was not
necessary TO protect the members against
bribery or to herd them in the cham
bers. The increase went through both
houses smoothly and without opposition.
