All the mellow sweet ness Of ripe
old sge l. written into Sarah Orne
Jewetps story IA Spring Sunday"
in the May McClure's. An old cou-
pie looking back over three score
and ten we'll spent years are prompt
ed to visit the old home, the scenes
Of their childhood, courtship, their
marriage. their start in life. Tender
memories of the days of auld lang
syne come flooding over them and
once again they stand together look
ing out on life as when the glory of
the morning streamed DER all the
earth. There is beautiful appre-
citation and understanding of both
nature snd human nature reflected
IN the Story that makes a deep ap-
peal.

The Democratic campaigner this
year will have a hard road to travel
How can he make a satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION of the States manage
ment of the A. & N. @. Railroad
when 1t has run in debt under
Democratic management, what will
be his reason for the large deficit in
The States Treasury, how can he ex-
plain the necessity for the great in
crease in taxes and what reason will
he give for the great scarcity of
farm labor in the State? And
there are many other mountains
that he will stumble against and
find that he is not able to pass over
them.

There is surplus Of money in
the United States Treasury and this
fact seems to prey ON the minds of
the Democrats. The following is
from the Raleigh Times Of last
Tuesday:
"What difference does it make if
the present fiscal expenses Of the
government should exceed its in
come when there is big surplus OF
the peoples taxes piled up in the
treasury at Washington to make
good the deficit?"
Where is the deficit? For the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1897, the
last year of President Cleveland's
administration, there was a deficit
of 100000, and since this time
this deficit has not only been over
come, but for the current fiscal yea,
- - (TN~-~- a.
thority) that there will be surplus
Of $14,0O0,OOO. Now will the
Times tell us how much surplus was
in the States Treasury when the
FusiOnist turned it over to the
Democrats and will it go little
further and tell us how much sur
plus there is in the States Treasury
today, after four years of Demo-
cratic ''gOOd government -? There
was surplus Of several thousand
dollars when the democrats took the
States finances in charge, but today,
after Increasing the peoples taxes
and after having issued thousands
and thousands of dollars in bonds
the State is woefully in debt. When
the voters of the State put the De-
mocratic machine In Office it is
worse on them than giving a chattel
mortgage on their land and house
hold and kitchen furniture, for they
have to pay for their folly in taxes
In the fall, not to the merchants.
but for the support of democratic
officials who are responsible for the
deficit in the State Treasury, for the
scarcity of labor in the State and
for many other things too numer-
GUS to mention,

1t is quite amusing to see the in

to elect the commissioners and
magistrates by the popular vote,
but rather have them appointed by

amusing to sit on the fence and see

is, that there will soon be a battle

WHY NEGROES ARE LEAVING THE
SOUTH.

WHY NEGROES ARE LEAVING THE
SOUTH.
We publish elsewhere in this is
sue an article from Jackson, Mis-
sissippi which states that the scar
city of labor in the South is due to
the agitation of the negro question.
Farm labor and in fact labor of
every kind has never been so scarce
in North Carolina as it is TODAY.
The negroes are continually leaving
this State and going North to seek
q more congenial cline and where
they think their rights as citizens
will be respected by the law. Several
farmers have told the writer that
they are unable to secure labor to
work on their farms. AS a result
the farmers sons must stop school
and go into the fields to do the
work.
The two red-shirt campaigns in
this State are what have caused the
scarcity of labor here.
The farmers and their wives can sui:
fer for the lack of labor, cooks and
nurses, and the young white boys
may have to stay away from school
and be deprived of an education and
as result be disfranchised after
1908 and it will not worry Simmons
and his red-shirt machine since thew
have gotten all the offices in the
State, which was all they were after.

Misconduct OF a Juror-2O Years for
/ Horse Stealing
Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1904-07-11

Despite the thousands OF immigrants
that are pouring into New York and
other Atlantic ports New England
paper says: There Is a great demand
for farm labor. and prices have gone
up, as the supply is far short of the
number required. II Is asserted by
competent authorities that of the 6,0O0,-
900 farmers In the United States, at
least 100000 would hire another man
IL he could get competent farm help.
The problem becomes more serious as
the haying season approaches. Then
a good many of the farmers find them
selves unable to harvest their crop
without considerable loss, as the sea-
son must be prolonged owing to lack
of farm help. The cities are teeming
with idle men, but they are not gener-
ally of the class who would care for
farm work. or who would be OF much
practical assistance to a farmer" The
great difficulty with the present day
immigration is that It will not go where
II Is wanted. and too much of II fur
nishes early candidates for the poor

and earnings exceptionally large. Each
big company, already itself inflated,
went into the new combination at a
still larger valuation. The Carnegie
Steel Company had securities outstand
ing to the amount of 1920 ,000, 900, but
when absorbed Il figured in the new
company for s1634OO.OO0 preferred
stock. s155,2OO.OOO common and s3Oi..
900, 900 bonds. When the steel corpor-
alton was complete 1t stood for s1,404,.
100000. This was capitalization on
the basis of the earnings then show.
ing, a proposition sanctioned by law
in most States.
There is a regulator for all this. Its
name is Wall Street. The United
States Leather Company has s125, 1926.

not give 100000 for them. The
Steel Trust faunts capitalization OF
81 ,404. coo, 900. but Wall Street says the
paper is worth about s57O,OO0,00O. For
values are values, and It Is what Ger.
tificate brings in dividends and what
one can get for 1t on sale that count
and not what 1t may say on the face
of 1t. Wall Street looks at Leather
and says that s74.OOO,O00 of the noml.
nal value Is no good; at Steel and
says 1888, 700. or nearly 60 per
cent Of represented value, is no good.

as possible. As income decreases they
must strike at expense and eventually
the point is reached where the wages
paid labor are reduced. The working
man finds that he must either work at
a lower wage or quit, all because CAP

CAPITALIZATION EVILS.

In the general search for the source
of evil In the development of corpora.
tion activity, particularly the Trusts.
Secretary, now Senator. Knox recently
announced as his conclusion that "over
capitalization is the chief of all Trust
evils and the source from which minor
evils fiow".
Hawaii has had Its experience with
overcapitalization, on a smaller scale,
perhaps, than examples furnished by
the Trusts but sufficient to give the
small investor taste OF what overcap.
italizatlon means. There is no doubt
OF the evil involved. How the watering
is done, and how 1t is squeezed and
finally worked out Is told by
Gilbert Holland Montague in his
book, TRUSTS of Today. A
few instances from this publication
will furnish enlightenment to those in.
terested in the workings of high
finance" these days.
II has been general rule in Trust
formation first to capitalize the cash
value of plants, merchandise. machin-
cry, etc. by issuance of bonds and pre-
ferred stock, and then to capitalize
good will and estimated savings Of
combination by issuing about as much
common stock. There is much value
In goodwill and established trade. Mr..
Havemeyer of the Sugar Trust once
testified that the plants of his COM
pany could be duplicated for 100000
900. but good will, established trade,
and considerations OF like nature.
warranted capitalization at SIS 900 900.
That company has been able to earn
good dividends on this larger total.
hence the capitalization Is legitimate.
Here is an illustration Of the use In
comparative moderation OF earning
power as the capitalization basis. It
is this very thing that has been shame
fully abused.
Take the Steel corporation Already
there existed a number Of companies
made up OF numerous smaller plants
brought together. These later giants
combined and became Goliath, at q
time when boom was on. prices high
