APPRECIATED BY THE PEOPLE.
Statesville Mascot.
The Carolina Mascot is glad to see the
great prosperity of the News and Observ-
er. 1t is not only far in the lead with its
numbers of subscribers, but it is in the
lead for Democracy, good morals and
white supremacy. And in this day when
an element in the Democratic party that
calls itself independent, and is aiding and
abetting the Republican party, we are
glad to see that the News and Observer is
waging war on these forces and it is being
appreciated by the people more and more
every year by their patronage and sup
port. Whatever enemies may say, Joe
Daniels stands today one of the most pow
erful men in the South, who yields the
power Of an editorial chair. With a life
beyond reproach, unfaltering courage, and
his eminent ability, he has made record
for which he and the State may well be
proud. He has scourged the enemies of
Democracy and white supremacy fearfully
in many a well-fought battle, and Rus
sell and his fusion gang will bear true
testimony to this, as well as Prof. Bas-
sett and his followers. The independents
in North Carolina might be heard also
with interest in testimony on this point.
We hope the News and Observer and its
editor may be spared for many useful
years yet that they may continue their
fight as they have done in the past

THE DEMOCRATIC FOREIGN
POLICY.
Richard Olney.

In matters of foreign policy the Demo
cratic party will stand for international
morality and decent international con-
duct; for observance of treaties and ODE
dience to international law; for respect
for the rights of every nation, however
SMALL for the refusal to take by stealth
or by robbery what we have no right to
get except by consent of the owner; for
continuing our traditional role as the de-
fender of the weaker States of this hemis-
phere, instead of becoming their spectator;
for minding our own business generally,
without meddling with the internal affairs
of foreign countries and without making
rumors and trivial events the pretexts
for military demonstrations in foreign
ports.

DISCREDlTED PROPHETS.

The forty thousand holders of half a
billion of steel stock will get nothing.
The dividend on the common stock has
been cut off, while the preferred. held by
regular interest. recent statement says
that earnings fell off twenty-five million
dollars in 1903. Hudibras must have seen
the present dav when he said:
"Ah me- what perils do environ
The man who NEEDLES with cold IRON
Three or four years ago, Morgan and
other trust promoters got together steel
plants worth six hundred million dollars,
held a meeting. and issued stock on these
plants for a billion and half dollars.
They promised per cent on the preferred
and per cent on the common stock. In
March, 1901. Mr.. Morgan said:
81 think steel preferred a good invest
ment 1t should have a value about $50
a share higher than the common stock.
think 40 for the common and 80 for the
preferred is about the right proportion"
In the official statement were these
words:
Earnings Of the first nine months of the
company have been large enough to pay
dividends for the entire year on both
classes Of stock and all bonds and still
leave more than $5,OO0,O0O surplus
The employees were induced to invest in
the stock. widows purchased it on the
faith of the declarations of Mr.. Morgan
and the official report. Now they are
reaping the whirlwind and the former
financial prophets are discredited

THE LOVERS SONG.

Above the queenly Katharines head
The holly berries are cleaning red,
And fair the folly is to see,
But gives no CLEAN of grace to me;
For here, where music hath sweet sway,
All save my heart hath holiday
heart betrayed by Loves sweet kiss
A heart which thrall to Katharine Is:
0, turn, my Katharine, turn thine eyes
And light the stars in wintry skies.
Turn to thy lovers pathway dim
And make the morning shine on him:
And lead him, Katharine, sweet and wise
To the glad morning of thine eyes!

POSITION OF THE DOCTORS.
Wilmington Messenger


The last Legislature passed an amend
ment to the license law, defining the prac-
tice of medicine and surgery, which law
required all applicants for license to pass
an approved examination before the State
Medical Board Such law was consid
cred very wise one. There are ex-
cellent reasons why other professional
men, such as lawyers, druggists, dentists
are required to pass an examination be-
fore they are qualified to do business,
but the reasons why doctors should pass
an approved examination are more forci-
BILE than the others. The public is more
interested in the proven ability of physi-
clans than, in that of the other professions,
and the reason is plain-the public health
is dependent upon competent men in the
medical profession.

which fathered the amendment to the Ii

writes letter in the Wilson Times saying
that the next Legislature should enact
laws by which the State should insure

says that it would keep many thousand

many other ways There have been not
few able articles written advocating
State control of insurance by those who
regarded it as necessary as the conduct of

cense law, is this: the practice of med
cine can be fairly construed to mean the
cure or alienation of disease by any
method, and no person should be allowed
to treat sick people until they are able to
pass the examination before the State

competence. This is considered a very
reasonable view.

And we welcome the sigh and falling tear
When over the river is rest, my dear!
