however: nor do we see much reason
to expect that the South will receive,
even from Italian. Slav. and other
alien sources, the better and more de-
Sirable classes. We do not believe
that the agricultural peasantry OF
Southern Europe will emigrate in con-

that we shall receive as the result OF

RAISE HAY AID BACON.

Prof. Horace III. Williams, of the
University faculty, is not only mas
ter of philosophy and an able teacEer.
but master also of hog raising. for
he is rs good a farmer as meta-phy-
sician In the current Progressive
Farmer. discussing Breeding the Fest
Hogs, Prof Williams starts out by
saying:
Il take two facts as settled
First. the Berkshire is the best hog
for North Carolina.
Second, we shall soon be raising
more meat than we can consume.
1T is a shame that ever pound
of hay or bacon has been imported to
this state
When he confidently declares that
I'VE shall soon be raising more meat
than we can consume" The question
naturally arises has Prof. Williams
accurately estimated how much
meat the North Carolinians can eat
Certainly it is a consummatiol de-
voutly to be wished that this State
shall raise its own hog and hominy
and much depends upon proper breed
ing.

If the 1904 crops were equally di-
Vided every man, woman and child in
the United States would receive one
barrel of flour. 200 eggs, lao quarts of
milk more than half of Which goes
into butter; one bushel of apples and
two and a half bushels of other fruits
and berries; three bushels of potatoes
and two bushels of carrots, beets, pars-
nips and turnips: eleven heads of CAD
bage and half as much lettuce, Gu
cumbers ana caulifower: tWenty-eight
bushels of corn; usually in the shape
of beef. pork and poultry, besides sew
enty pounds of cotton. six pounds OF
wool for clothes and enough leather
for two pairs of shoes.
These raw materials at present
wholesale prices would sell for about
$50. The size of the average Ameri-
can family is IA, which would make
the family share of this years crops
cost $262.
The bare necessities of life do not
cost so very much. What counts for
more in the total expenditures are
luxuries that have become necessities
and other luxuries that might better
be done without.

OUGHT TO GET TOGETHER

The Board of Aldermen will hold
special meeting tonight to consider the
application for a charter for the Dur
ham and Raleigh and Electric Rail-
way and Power Company. The new
company proposes to build an electro
line to Durham, to build belt lines
to the mills on the suburbs of the
city, and to have a pleasure park be-
tween Raleigh and Durham-thlngs
that all Raleigh people greatly desire
and they would approve granting TINS
company liberal franchise if the APP
plying company will guarantee to give
Raleigh in reasonable time street
car system as good as Greensboro,
Winston-Salem. or any other city of
like size. But no franchise that does
not insure building without delay a
first class system ought to be granted
The Board of Aldermen should give Il
liberal charter, but at the same time
they should require such conditions as
will put in the contract or ordinance
granting the franchise every stipula-
ton necessary to the construction of q
system worthy of the city. No privi-
leges should be given to this new COM
pany that was denied to the Raleigh
Street Railway Company when they
made application some years ago. And
10 blanket franchise should be grant
ed to this or any other company. The
right to control the company in all
proper ways must be reserved to the
city.
The Raleigh Street Railway Com
pany has a charter, that expires III
1911 The best solution of the whole
matter for the city and all concerned
would be such a uniting of the in
terests of the old and new company
as will insure the extension og the sys-
tenn and giving Raleigh street cars
that will reach every suburb of the
city, and put it in close electrical COM
muncation with Durham. The offer
made yesterday by the Raleigh COM
pany to sell out to the new company
is worthy of consideration. If the
two companies can "get together" and
give Raleigh what it needs without
clash or competition, that would suit
the people of this city
We had hoped this morning to print
the recommendation of the special
committee appointed by the Board of
Aldermen. But the special committee
had not agreed upon a recommends
ton last might and will meet this
morning to formulate their report. 1t
is TO be regretted that every citizen
could not have read the recommends
tons they will make today so they
could be fully advised and be able to
give advice to the aldermen. 1t is a
matter of such Importance that the
aldermen should invite the advice of
the best men in the city, to the end
that the WiScst action shall be taken
for the city. f.
TO the two company The News and
Observer ventures to give this advice:
Get together, give Raleigh and Dur
ham, give system, and cannot Raleigh
and Durham will anelectric railway.

EDUCATION AND RELIGION.

In the presence OF an audience, COM
posed largely of New York State teachers
in Chautauqua, N. Y, Rev. Alexander
P. DOYLE, editor of the Catholic World,
made a spirited response to recent
utterance of DIR. Andrew S. Draper, re-
Gently the president of the University OF
Illinois and now commissioner of educa-
ton Tor the State of New York. Father
Doyle quoted DR.. Draper saddress TO the
graduating class at the University OF Hi
nois last month and said: "Originally
America was deeply and profoundly re-
ligious country, but the day is fast ap-
preaching when that can no longer be
said with any truth. OF two generations
now the children have been educated with
out any effort to strengthen their religious
principles, and, in fact, the whole atti-
tude of the public school has been to dis
courage and diminish interest in religious
matters as secondary to industrial or polit-
ical ambition and achievement. AS a
result we are fast losing our Christian
luedlS anu uIuIihB away INV f~o'
ism. Disaster surely is written over our
future unless we do something to inject
the life-giving principle into the blood
of our nation. The Catholic Church,
convinced of the danger, has spent $500
600, 900 in building up a parish school
system. This is her contribution to
good citizenship, and not one penny OF
it came from public or private source
Catholics are quite content with the
American policy of noninterference of
the state in matters of religion. But
where the State finds existing agencies
doing its work Of educating the children
it is matter of economical civic ad-
ministration to utilize them and to pay
for approved results. The time may
come when the State will need more than
now the strong and conservative arm OF
the Catholic Church to Danish the
socialism and suppress the lawlessness
which present irreligion is surely breed
ing"
