"a Solemn Protest Of The Bar O
North Carolina Against judicial

North Carolina Against judicial
Interference in Political
Affairs.
'orhe undersigned, present or form
err members of the bar OF North caro-
lima, have witnessed the late public
demonstrations of political partizan-
ship, by the Judges of the Supreme
Court of the State, with profound re-
yret and unfeigned alarm for the purl-
ty of the future administration of the
laws of the land.
active and open participation in
the strife of political contests by any
Judge of the State, SO far as we recol-
Iect, or tradition or history has in
formed us, was unknown to the peo-
pie until the late exhibitions. TO say
that these We're wholly unexpected,
and that a prediction of them, by the
wisest among us, would have been
spurned as incredible, would not ex-
press half of our establishment, or the
painful shock suffered by our feelings
when we saw the humiliating fact ac-
complished.
''Not only did we not anticipate it,
but we thought it was impossible to
be done in our day. Many of us have
passed through political times almost
as excited as those of today; and most
of us, recently, through one more eX-
cited; but never before have we seen
the Judges of the Supreme Court,
singly or EN- masse, moved from that
becoming propriety SO indispensable
to secure the respect of the people,
and, throwing aside the ermine, rush
into the mad contest of politics under
the excitement of drum and flags.
From the unerring lessons of the past
we are assured that a judge who open
ly and publicly displays his political
party zeal. renders himself unfit to
hold the balance of justice and that
whenever an occasion may offer to
serve his fellow partizans, he will yield
to the temptation, and the 'waverinS
balance will shake.

A CASE OF % NOTHING.

President Roosevelt has struck
a great big snag. Sargent
Smith, ambulance corp, 42nd
Artillery, Fort Mot, n. j., was
so incOnsiderate as to marry a
negress not long ago and Gen.
Grant was equally as incOnsider-
ate in recommending his dis
charge for the good Of the
service"-all just before election,
and now it is up to- the Presi-
dent. If he discharges Smith
he will lose the negro vote in the
doubtful States, and if he does
not, he will ALLEVIATE thousands
of white voters, wherefore he
will solve the perplexing problem
by doing neither until after
November 8.

the Nebraska leader still posses

He has argued with the people
with his usual cleverness that
while he is still a silver man,
while he disagrees radically
with Parker's gold telegram,
and while he does not like the
Influences which surround
Parker in New York, still Parker
stands for some things in the
Democratic platform which
Bryan stands for.
Bryan is making the issue
that he loves Parker not more,
but Roosevelt less, and this issue
is taking with the old Bryan free
silver Democrats. He is keeping
them in the Party, and his visit
to Indiana is worth at least TO-
600 votes to the Democratic
State and national ticket, and
possibly more"
OF course, the correspondent
of such a stalwart Republican
paper as the Tribune naturally
predicts that Roosevelt will
carry the State, but by a reduced
majority. When it is remem-
bered that McKinley's majority
in Indiana in 1896 was Il 5000,
while over 1000 Democrats voted
for Palmer, and many more
voted with the Republicans on
the gold issue, and a still larger
number did not vote at all it can
not be doubted that Judge
Parker has a good prospect of
carrying the State. Certainly
the situation must be very in
teresting to elicit such criticism
as that given above in the interest
of the Republican candidate.

tenn of education is not generally
recognized, partly because few
parents visit the schools and
partly because fewer still think
anything about it. Of course.
we all know that there can be
no school without a schOOlhOuse;
but as to whether it makes any
difference whether the house is
a barn or a palace, many of us
never stop to consider. But we
should. The effectiveness of a
child's study is inversely proper
tiOnal to his state of comfort.
The more uncomfortable he is
the less he con accomplish. To
reach best results the school
room should be kept at the
right temperature. be properly
lighted, and thoroughly venti-
lated, and the furniture should
be of a kind to meet his physical
requirements. Beside, the room
should be constructed and
adorned to appeal to his artistic
sensibilitieS. It takes more
than book learning to educate,
and the right kind of a school
house supplies some of the
essentials. Unfortunately there
are thousands of buildings used
for schools over the State which
are not alone a poor substitute
for a schoOlhOuse. but are alb
solntely unfit for the purpose.
Our legislators, recognizing
this bad state of affairs, at their
last session passed a resolution
submitting an amendment to the
constitution authorizing the
issuance of 81, 900 600 bonds to
build schoolhouses, provide
equipment and purchase school
sites, and now it is for the people
to decide whether they wish to
do their part.
In reaching this decision we
must carefully consider whether
it is advisable to borrow money
and pay interest to build NOW, for
undoubtedly with the present
awakening in educational matters
better houses and more houses
are sure to come in the course
of time. The real question is,
shall we await this slow develop
ment or hasten it and secure for
the growing generation the
educational advantages which
will fall to the lot of those sue
ceeding? The answer depends
largely upon the expense. Let
us consider it. We may leave
out the $1,OOO,O0 principal, for
the schoolhouses represent that.
1t is the interest at $780, 900 a
year, amounting to $75O,OOO in
25 years which we must take
into account. Will the results
achieved by anticipating the
certain but slow action of the
people fully compensate for the
expenditure of such a sum? We
believe they will, fully and com
pletely; for every dollar spent in
educating a child in a modern
building will equal in value two
dollars spent in a barn; thus
practically doubling the present
school fund, which in itself will
far exceed the $50, 600 a year
interest.
Further, with more funds the
school boards can build addi-
ti0nal schools bringing enlighten-
ment to thousands of children,
making their lives more worth

Political Situation in Indiana.
Picayune.
OF course, the Presidential
election must depend on what
are known as the doubtful
States. They have sometimes
gone Democratic and sometimes
Republican. Whatever may be
their outcome in the November
election will settle the matter
one way or another.
These States are New York,
New Jersey, Connecticut, In
diana and West Virginia. The
Democrats are counting almost
with certainty on New York,
and they expect to get the
others. As to Indiana, Raymond
Patterson, the intelligent and
usually well-informed correspon-
dent OF the Chicago Tribune,
telegraphed to that paper from
Indianapolis under date of Oct.
18. the following:
Bryan is saving thousands of
votes in Indiana, but he is not
making any. He has been in
the State since the middle of the
week and has had extraordinary
receptions everywhere. His
crowds have been the only ones
of any magnitude during this
campaign. He is doing the work
for which he was brought to
Indiana. and doing it we'll. That
is to say. Bryan has stopped the
landslide against Parker among
the old silver Democrats. He
will. in all probability, hold the
Democratic vote about to the
normal figures. and has put an
end to the intended slump to
Watson.
The wisdom of Tom Taggart
in bringing Bryan to Indiana
has been fully justified. because
enormous audiences all over the
country have demonstrated that

Franchise Tax Law.

The attention OF the general assem-
bly, was directed two years ago to the
fact that the revenue of the state Is
not increasing in proportion to the
growth OF necessary expenses. When
the annual appropriation for pensions
was increased from $150,000 to $780,
900, the state fell behind in meeting
it's expenses, for it was this same year
that $4,000 was given to the Charles.
ton exposition.
The legislature appointed COM
mission to look into the matter of the
states revenue, and this commission
was empowered to sit during the re-
cess and report by bills or otherwise.
That commission introduced three
revenue" bills, only one Of which be-
came law. The bills which failed
to pass provided for a change in the
entire machinery Of the tax depart
ment. The act which became law is
the only one which seeks to bring in
taxes from new, quarter.
This act to place tax on franchises,
kind Of license tax. became a law,
but was imperative during the year
just ended as it provides that corpora
tions must report during the month OF
February, and the act was not ap-
proved until 1t was too late for the
corporations to make such report for
the year 1904.
Mr.. A. w. Jones. the comptroller
general Is now working on set Of
blanks to be filed out by the corpora
tions upon whose franchises this tax
will be levied as a license. The act
will be Of force next year and may
bring in over $4,000 in addition to
the revenue now received from direct
taxation.
All home" or domestic corpora
tions will be governed by the following
section of the act:
Every corporation organized under

white and light-colored silks. Smooth
the silk out well on the ironing table,
place an old handkerchief or a piece
of thin muslin over it, and iron with a
moderately hot iron. When partially
dry remove the covering, iron the silk
with the bare iron, and In the case
of scarf or handkerchief, first on
one side and then on the other to pro-
duce gloss. If the silk should feel
in the least stiff or hard, shake 1t out,
rub it between the hands and iron
again. When finished 1t should be az
smooth and as soft as when new.
Some silks, such as ribbons and
corded silks, are better kept covered
all the time, as the iron gives them
n glaze which is not suitable; discre-
tion must be used in this matter.
When ironing bright-colored silks put u
piece of muslin or old linen over the
