SUNDAY SCHOOLS
State Association Pro-
gram is Announced.
The Twenty-first Annual Session in
Greensboro in Smith Memorial
Hall on 26th, 9th and
28th of april.

If present indications mean anything
the coming State Sunday School Conven-
ton will be one of the largest and most
representative gatherings of Sunday school
workers ever assembled in the State
There has been great development along
Sunday school lines during the past year
From the few partially organized counties
reported at tho Kinston convention one
year ago the State Association has grown
to an organization of forty complete coun-
ty associations At that convention there
was no one in the field, now The Associa-
ton has four persons devoting their entire
time 10 the work then the association had
no home and practically no head, now it
has an office in Raleigh and Central
Committee that meets every month. For
these and for various other reasons the
coming State Convention will be n great
one. Every Sunday school worker who
can possibly do so should attend. The
motto for the year is Still Greater Eff
fort" and the workers are striving TO
make this a reality.
The programme, emitting the many de
votional exercises is as follows:

Talks with Farmesr

A good joke is told of certain pro-
fcssor of agriculture who wrote an arti-
Gle in local farm paper in regard to
the neglect with which the farmers
treated their back yards. One lady in
the country got so stirred UP that she
had her back yard put into tine order
at once. A day or so later she visited
the aforesaid professors wife. and took
advantage of the chance to look at his
back yard, and much to her surprise
she found it in worse condition than
hers was. and came to the conclusion
chat people who advise others would do
we'll to begin at home.

1t is to be hoped that the bill for in
creasing the funds of the Experiment
Stations Will be passed. The present
appropriation of $4,000 is too small for
good work, since a large part of it is
necessarily used for salaries, and to get
good officers fair salaries should be
paid. One feature of the bill. placing
the new funds under the direction of the
Secretary of Agriculture, is altogether
wrong. 1t is impossible for the head of
the Department of Agriculture in Wash
ington to know the needs of each station
scattered over the country, and there is
no reason to suppose that the new funds
will not be as wisely used as those that
that the stations already get. The super
vision already exercised by the Depart
ment in y, ashington is fully sufficient to
prevent any misuse of the funds.

The Next Congress.

The fight for the control of the
next house of representatives will
commence in earnest within a week
or two.
The membership of both the con-
gressional campaign committees has
been completed and there only awaits
the election of the chairman.
Representative Babcock. of Wiscon-
sin, will be reelected chairman of the
republican committee, and represen-
tative Cowherd, of Missouri, will prob
ably be chosen chairman of the DEM
ocratic committee.
There is nothing in the present
outlook which threatens the loss of
control Of the house by the republi-
cans.
In order for the democrats to win
they would have to hold every district
they now command and win in eigh-
teen districts now held by the repub.
licans.
The fight for congress will be
waged not by states. but in individual
districts. The republicans do not ex-
pect to do anything in Maryland but
hold their own. In Indiana they
may pick up one or two districts.

Treat high and Low Alike.

1t is encouraging to the cause OF
justice and to the instincts Of society
to protect itself against plumber, NOR
al and material, that the district
court has ruled that Tyner and Neph-
ew Barrett must stand trial for con-
spiracy as indicted. The case needs
little exposition. Tyner had been
practically for the whole Of his adult
life Government officer, in places of
trust and responsibility. He had sat
in the cabinet. both as assistant and
in his own right. 1t is to the point
to urge that sentiment about an old
man and so forth and so on is mawk-
ish sentiment. He was not so old as
not to know that it was good for him
to conceal certain papers. We mean
to say that if there is to be even-han-
ded justice here is a case to show it.
Do not punish the little fellows and
weep over the big while letting them
go free. Mr.. Tyner should have a
full, free and fair trial, and il found
guilty should be punished.-Indian-

An Interesting Experiment.

The recent municipal election in
Chicago was remarkable In many re-
SpectS. So far as politics is concer-
ned it had no significance. the alder
men elected being pretty evenly div
ided between the two leading politi-
cal parties, but the overwhelming
majority in favor of public ownership
of street railways is the surprising
thing.
Chicago is peculiar city, and
things are dvne there that are done
in no other place. 1t is tickle town,
too, except in its devotion to money,
and in year from now it may be as
strongly opposed to public ownership
as it is strongly in favor of it now.
However if the experiment is made
the result will be watched with great
interest. Municipal ownership has
been attempted only on small scale
in this country, and while it has been
practiced extensively abroad, condi-
tionS in other countries are so differ
ent from those here that satisfactory
conclusions can not be drawn.
But the Chicago plan is big enough
to show to certainty whether munic.
ipal ownership is practicable. And
Chicago will have to pay the bill.-In-

Legal Advice While You Wait.

When the late A. H. Garland was
attorney general during Cleveland S
first administration he brought from
Arkansas an old friend named James
H. Ward, who was made Waterman
and placed in charge of the building
at night.
A telegram was received late one
night addressed to the Department
of JUSTICE which Ward opened and
found that the sender of the message
wanted to know whether there was
any statute that forbade the killing
of a man who was common drunkard
and a public nuisance. Ward con-
cluded that the attorney general
should not be disturbed at so late an
hour with this inquiry, and as an i'm
mediate answer was requested, sent
this reply:

Good Men for Legislature.

For several reasons 1t is important
that the republican candidates for
the legislature should be men of rec
ognized fitness for the position. They
should be something more than per-
sons of average responsibility. They
should possess distinct qualifications
for legislative work, backed by per-
sonal character.
Every member of the legislature
has double function to perform
first, to legislate for the whole state,
and second, to look out for the local
interest Of the constituency he repre-
sents. To do this satisfactorily re-
quires a high degree of INTELLIGENCE
a fair knowledge of existing legisla-
ton and CT that which is needed, suf-
ficient knowledge OF affairs to recog.
nize what is vicious and What is meri-
torious, and courage and capacity to
fight one and promote the other.-In.

There seems to be no doubt that
the Supreme Court Of the United
States is disposed to do what it can
TO restrain the rapacity Of trusts. 1t
has just decided a case involving the
right of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to inquire into certain fea-
lures of the business of the anthracite
coal roads. The roads were charged
with maintaining combination in
restraint of trade and competition.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
undertook to investigate their meth.
DDS, but the roads refused to produce
their contracts with the coal mining
companies, which they control. as.
sertlng that the commission had no
power to compel them to do so. The
Circuit Court took this view, but the
Supreme Court holds that the con
tracts should have been produced and
that the law should not be construed
In such : way Is to make an investi
CATION impossible or fruitless.

TRIAL OF WALTER BROWN.
Cashier Collins Says Brown Was Leader
In WreckIng Bank.

In speaking of the proceedings in
the Federal court at indianapolis
against Walter Brown, the Indianapo-
lis Journal says: sFearless and respon-
sive. Wilson L. Collins, guilty cashier
of the wrecked Indiana National Bank
of Elkhart, Wednesday gave forth tes-
timony in the Federal court, every
statement of which seemingly carried
disaster and damage beyond redress
to the cause of Walter Brown. who for
nine days has wlthstood prosecution
for being an alleged conspirator in the
Elkhart bank failure. Held in abey-
ance as the prosecutions strongest
witness, Collins appearance upon the
stand at O'Clock Wednesday morning
signalized the undemonstrative climax
of the Brown trial, while his testimony,
coming clear-cut aud unweighed, far
exceeded, in point of fatal import, ex-
pectationS. which have awaited his dis
closures of Brown s financial activities.
In substance Collins testified that
Brown was heavily responsible for the
wrecking of the bank, being the leader
in the Encouragement which wrecked
the institution; that he continued to
contract debts with the bank in the
face of warnings and objections by
both Brodrick and himself; that he ao-
stracted notes AMI checks from the
bank on the night of Nov. Is; that he
furnished data for and was present
when the false entries were made that
night on the banks books: that he
was at the bank on the night of Nov.
Is when the midnight meeting was
held: that he paid personal debts with
money drawn on the account of the
National Manufacturing Company,
which he managed. Collins presented
quite a different picture Wednesday
from that he made when he testified
so destructively in the Brodrick trial.
He spoke out boldly and firmly and
seemed in much brighter spirits than
formerly. He began his testimony by
admitting the different crooked trans
actions that were carried on within
the bank, repeating in part his testi-
mony given in the BrOdrick trial."

An Honest Election.

There was an interesting dispa tch
in The News of Wednesday from Shell
byvilIe, where city election is about
to be held. The candidates of both
parties are TO sign an agreement in
which they will pledge themselves
not to subscribe money with which to
buy votes or otherwise corrupt the
franchise. The agreement also pro-
vides that no one shall be paid to stay
away from the polls. Candidates are
to pay no tribute whatever, except
for legitimate election expenses, and
the election accounts are to he open to
the inspection of the two party COM
mittees. Any candidate violating
the agreement must surrender any
claim he may have on city office.
A specially-constituted committee is
to pass upon any supposed violations
Of the agreement.
We are told that this is move in
the interest of cleaner elections. 1t
is very important move in that d.
rection. There is no reason why this
method should not be used every
where: Party committees and candi-
dates have grave responsibility in
this matter. 1t is assumed that
large sums of money must be spent
by one side because they are certain
to be spent by the other. The sins
of one party are always made the
excuse for the sins of the other. But
there is no reason why there should
not be combination of both sides in
the interest of honesty aud virtue.
This is the conclusion that has been
reached in Shelbyville. city which
