cance when the people of this coun-
try are brought face to face with q
question like this, which lies at the
root of honest and decent govern
ment. On this question, and on all
others like it, we can afford to have
no division among good citizens. In
the last resort good laws and good
administration alike must rest upon
the broad basis of sound public
opinion. A dull public conscience,
an easy going acquiescence in cor
ruption, infallibly means debase
ment in public life und such debase-
ment in the end means the ruin of
free institutions. Self.government
becomes farce if the representa-
tives of the people corrupt others or
are themselves corrupted. Freedom
is not gift which will tarry long in
the hands of the dishonest or of
those so foolish or so incompetent as
to tolerate dishonesty in their public
servants. Under our system all pow
er comes from the people, and all
punishment rests ultimately with the
people. The liberation of the wrong,
not the exposure ofthe wrong, is the
real offense. ."-Pueblo Chieftain.

How Cheap Baking Powder Is Mad,

'o" SuOup 00NbUH to"uOt 70 "ooo
A recent seizure of lot of Cheap
baking powders by the authorities Of
neighboring city has exposed the
character of the low priced brands of
baking powders which many manu-
facturers are offering throughout the
country. The price of the powders
first attrated attention to them. Sam.
pies were taken and analysed The
official report of the analysis showed
the stuff to be "alum powders" com
posed chiefly of alum, sulphuric acid
and pulverized rock. The powders
were declared dangerous to health
and several thousand pounds were
confiscated and destroyed.
Physicians have frequently eau
toned consumers against mixing
food with these so called Cheap
baking powders. They areall found
when analy sed, to contain large per
centages of alum and sulphuric acid
to which are added various sorts OF
filing matter sometimes both injur-
ious and nasty.
The high class, cream of tartar
baking powders, are the most eco
nomical and wholesome and should
always be selected for use. They
will be found cheaper in the end, be

healthful.

The Dowie Hum bug.

Zion is financially embarrassed.
The prophet is making frantic ap-
peals to bis addle headed followers
to dig, dig, dig up more of the pre-
cious coin of the republic ere tn 9
house he has reared falls about his
ears.
But they dig not, neither do they
spin, and bankruptcy is staring the
coarse, vulgar and sacriligious old
humbug out of countenance.
Dowie has many elements of the
leader which appeal to the religious
fanatics among the weaker minded
of the human family. His career
has demonstrated once more the
utter lack of common sense and clear
reasoning faculties which affiict a
large number OF the human race WHO
ordinarily pass as sane and intellI-
gent.
The success of such faikrs as
Dowie, even in a small degree, serves
to emphasize the truth Of the asser
tion that, after all, the marvellous de
velopment of the human intellect
has not carried it far beyond the saw
age state in the matter of supersti-
tons and love of humbuggery in gen.

the Rubber Industry In Colorado.
Colorado has drawn the eye of the
rubber trust. The state has already
made its name in the sisterhood as
one producing as many of the essen
tials to comfortable existence as are
produced in any other state, but it is
not unlikely that within a compare
lively short time there will be an
other industry included IN the list of
those active in Colorado which is not
yet much thought of.
During the past week Mr.. j.
Wharton King of New York City, a
representative of the American Rub
her Company, otherwise known as
the rubber trust, has been visiting
the state.
Recently the announcement was
made that the roots of a weed that
grows on the hills and mesas of the
state where grass would not think of
trying to thrive, had been found to
yield rubber when reduced to pulp.
This story interested the rubber
trust Immediately because it meant
a competitor. A week ago a carload
of the plant reached Denver from
Buena Vistn, and more OF it IS to be
shipped.

T CHILD o

Our opinion is that the age limit for children
working in factories should be fourteen instead
of twelve years. The following extract from the
recent opinion of our State Supreme Court in the
case of Fitzgerald VS.. Furniture Co., shows at a
glance what other States and Countries have done
in this important matter:
"Tt is Illegal to employ in a factory any children
under fifteen years of age In Florida, Rhode Is
land, Washington and Switzerland; or under four
teen years of age in Colorado, Connecticut, Hi
nois, Indiana, Massachusetts,, Michigan, Minneso-
ia, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New York, Okla
homa, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont, Wis
consin, Wyoming, New South Wales, New Zea-
land, Ontario, Queensland and Sweden. In Man
itoba it is illegal to employ children in any fac
tory under sixteen years of age; in Ohio it is
illegal to employ in a factory girls under sixteen
and boys under fifteen. In Louisiana, New Jer-
sey and Quebec the age limit is, girls fourteen,
boys twelve. In Pennsylvania, France, Germany
and South Australia, the age limit is thirteen.
In the following it is illegal to employ children in
any factory under twelve years of age: Califor-
MIA, Maine, Maryland, North Dakota, Austria,
Belgium, Denmark, Great Britain, Holland, Nor
way and Russia. During the present year, Ken
lucky, Maryland, and perhaps others, have en-
acted similar laws, making under fourteen years
the limit, and Virginia has adopted the twelve
year limit. In Porto Rico, children under six
teen are prohibited by law from working in fac
tories more than six hours in twenty-four, and in
Great Britain, children under fourteen years can
work only seven hours per day, and all under
twcnty-one are prohibited night work.

Education Our First Great Work.

1 look upon the education of the children of
the South as the first great work to engage the
time and thought and labors of every lover of
his country and his kind. I I'M grateful for the
help of the people of the North, but all the work
must be done by the men and women of the South.
We understand the conditions better and can deal
with them wiser than strangers. But our people
themselves must be-taught to deal with these con-
ditions in a spirit of fairness and broad states
manship. We have two races living in the South.
These races are distinct and must remain so, and
yet they must live here together. Ny judgment
is that it is better for both that each be educated
and trained and elevated to the highest state of
citizenship of which it is capable. It is also my
judgment that the church and the school house
are the best agencies for making good citizens.
If these agencies cannot help us in solving the
race problem, then indeed we have a hopeless task
on our hands. But, thank God, I am a man of
faith. I believe in God and in my ~fellow-men,
and I believe the people of the South can solve
all problems presented to them if they will cleave
to the church and the school house; and that too
in a manner which shall make them and their
section a great power for good in the world

sects harmful, with remedies to combat their
ravages.
"In a few years these educated farmers will
largely be managing the farms of the North and
the West, and then your sons and my sons, if
they are on the farm, will feel the full force of
Northern and Western competition far more than
we of to-day do, unless our children also get
such training as will enable them to meet this
competition. This very training is the purpose
of the bill just referred to.
"The Board of Agriculture, at it's meeting
last June, ommen that an appropriation be
made at this session of the Legislature for the
purpose. At the meeting of the State Alliance
last August the action of the Board of Agricul-
ture IN recommending this appropriation was
unanimously endorsed. By our action in that
meeting we said we wanted our boys to study
agriculture, but we realized that they could not
study it to best advantage under existing condi-
tons. The mechanical and textile departments
Of the College have been provided with suitable
buildings and equipments, but the little wooden
shanty at the College devoted to agricultural
purposes is unworthy to be called an agricultural
building. 1t is too small to accommodate half
the agricultural students now present; besides it
has no equipment. If the agricultural students
increase for the next two years, as they have for
the last two, this building would not hold their
lunch baskets, if they we're to take them to school
as they do in the country districts.
Certainly we do not want the agricultural
interests of the State crippled for lack of a suit
able building. We want our boys to go there to
study agriculture, and we want them to enjoy
equal advantages with boys who go there to study
mechanical or textile subjects.
"The bill has been introduced and has received
q favorable report from the committee on agri-
culture, but it now goes to the committee on ap-
preparations, then runs the gauntlet of both
branches of the Legislature. I know as a rule
farmers are timid and aterse to writing letters,
but this is a time when duty demands they should
act. You owe it to your children and to the
State. Write to your representatives and to
your Senator; write to-day, and ask them to sup
port this bill. It is not often the farmers ask
anything of theLegislature, but now they should
ask that their boys be given a chance to improve
their own conditions and develop the agricultu-
raj interests of the State.
"There is no time for delay. Immediate action
is necessary. The Legislature will be in session
only about four weeks longer. A letter from you
to your member of the Legislature may cause him
to support this bill. Don't depend on your neigh
Dor to write; he may be waiting on some one
else. Write yourself, and at once"
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1903-02-17

It is a pitiable dissertation of such a nature as
ours to give it up to the world. Some baser thing
might have been given without regret; but to
bow down reason and conscience, to bind them to
the clods of earth, to contract those faculties that
spread themselves out beyond the world, even to
infnity-to contract them to worldly trifes-it is
pitiable, it is something to mourn and weep over.

WAY TT SELL ALBOTMENTS.
The only way that allotments may
be sold Is by the approval of the sec
retary of the interiar. Under the late
rule OF the secretary. the sale Of such
allotments, by means of which towns
have been laid out, would have to be
approved by him before title could
be given. Towns laid out without this
approval are called wildcat towns.
II is in such towns that the so-called
townsire frauds have been carried on.
Holders in such towns have no title
to their property and have simply been
defrauded. For this the government
officials are not necessarily respon-
sible. Whether the charge is true that
some government officials have investl
ed in wildcat towns | am not pre-
pared to say. have heard the charge
in these wildcat of boom towns
the government should guard the in
terest of the allottee by seeing to 1t
that townsite companies pay him full
value for his land, such as the gov
ernment would approve, and thus OBJ
tain the title before they could convey
it to any lot purchaser"
In speaking of the land leasing
frauds Gen. Porter said. There Is one
kind of lease in the Creek nation that
gets tae Indian so deep in debt that
he is practically compelled to sell MS
