Spirit of the Press
Interest of Users to Prevent Monopoly
i'm Tobacco.
Wilmington Messenger.

Wilmington Messenger.
Anyway, this proposed movement OF
the tobacco trust is most outrageous
1t already has the producer OF the raw
product at it's mercy and now IL IN
tends to destroy the business OF the
dealers in the manufactured artlcle.
If it establishes the tobacco stores Tor
the purpose of closing out the business
of it's competitors, it will be able TO
do so by reason of it's immnese wealth
unless the people by unanimous con-
sent refuse to purchase from its stores,
and this is just what they should DO,
even if they have to pay higher prices.
The additional cost to each individual
consumer would be small in the course
of q year, and it must be remembered
that the people, if they enable the
trust to run-out of business these IN
dependent concerns, will then have
but one concern from which TO pur-
chase, and it will regulate prices to
suit itself The cut prices will not
continue after the monopoly is eS-
tablisbed In fact, it will, most prob
ably: then advance figures beyond
what they were before the war on
the independent dealers began, in or
der to recoup itself for the losses m"
Cured in driving out it's competitors.
If the trust undertakes to establish Il
monopoly of the sale of manu- aCtured
tobacco it will be to the interest o.
the users of the article to stand by
the Independent dealers. r. will pay
them I'm the end.

MORE RURAL DELIVERIES
NEEDED.

Several years ago, at the great Goou
Roads Conference in Raleigh, Mr.
Nachen, then head of the Free Rural
Delivery system, spoke in Raleigh and
said that the bad roads in North Caro-
lima were responsible for the compar-
atlvely small number of free rural de-
livery routes in the State. This paper
then declared that we ought to build
good roads, but we ought not to suo-
nit to a denial of our just share of
free rural delivery routes until the
roads had been improved. Attention
was called by this paper to the fact
that at that time the Republican
State of Wisconsin, with about the
same population and area of North
Carolina, had four times as many
routes as had been established in this
state, and We called upon our mem
bers of Congress to insist that the dis
elimination against this State should
cease.
Since that time many new routes
have been established, particularly in
the counties having the largest cities,
tenth as many as are needed. The
Sanford Express says that there are
seven hundred and ninety-eight routes
in North Carolina, with only two in
Moore county. That is a just griev-
ance and ore that needs attention. Mr..
Page has been insistent in urging the
establishment of more routes IN his
district, has obtained quite a number
CT mex ones, but not half the number
tp which his district is entitled.
Let the North Carolina delegatian
compile statistics and show the de-
partment how this State has been dis
eliminated against in this matter. AMI
bring the matter 70 the attention Ct
Congress. They have been alert and
active in urging new routes. Now let
them make their demands and enforce
their demands by proof that they are
not receiving their just proportion.
The agricultural States need more
,outes than the States that have urban
industries. In fact the suggestion OF
free rural delivery routes came from
Southern agricultural districts. and
yet these districts have been given
fewer routes than those States not SO
wholly agricultural.
LIN Washington city, when our Con-
gressmen complain that North Caro-
lima is not given it's fair share of
routes, the pat answer is: The bad
roads make it impossible to establish
many routes applied for" That is
given as an excuse. 1t is not a reason
The carrier furnishes his own horse
and buggy and it does not concern The
government whether the roads are
good Or bad. If the governm ant paid
CIR the horse and buggies, it might,
-Hith some reason deny application for
new routes because of bad roads, int
inasmuch as the carrier furnishes his
own conveyance. it cannot matter
whether the roads are good or bad to
the Washington officials At the last
session of Congress, Hon. Nv. w.
Kitchin offered an amendment that
would prevent a further giving this as
an excuse for denying routes in this
State, but it was voted down. In the
conference Senator Simmons sought
t. have it Incorporated, but failed.
However, the officials gave assurances
that with the new appropriation the
matter of roads would not be used to
deny North Carolina more routes.

CAPTAINS OF PROGRESS.

The city of Raleigh is glad to well
come to the States capital the nine
ty-seven Captains of Progress in
North Carolina-the men who stand
at the head of the public school in
terests of each of the ninety-seven
counties in North Carolina. They
are here literally from Murphy to
Manteo, coming to touch shoulder
to shoulder. to exchange views, to in
terchangc ideas. to take council to-
gether and to plan for the further
advancement Of the public education
al policy of the State.
There are no men in North Caro-
help the State iii the most important
and far-reaching maner than the
county superintendent of schools.
They go into every school district in
every county in the State. they know
the actual needs and conditions, and
they are leading to better schools and
to a better public sentiment. The
State viii never be rich as long as SO
large a percentage of its population
lack educator. Therefore these sup
jerintenderts. who are giving their
lives and their talents to improving
public schools are North Cardinals
true Captains of Progress.
1t is a reflection upon the public
policy of the State that it does not
give proper recognition and compen-
sation to these leaders in it's highest
interest 1t is a fact-and a fact that
shows how little we have appreciated
the work they are doing-that in
nearly every county the county
treasurer is paid more than the coun-
ty superintendent of schools. The
position of county treasurer calls for
honesty and capacity, but is not to be
mentioned in importance when COM
pared with the delicate and import
ant office of county superintendent.
He must, of course, have honesty and
capacity, but he must also have edu-
cation, zeal for the spread of popular
instruction, leadership, tact and en-
thusiasm. AS long as we pay larger
salary for merely taking care of coun-
ty money than we pay for education
al leadership and direction in a coun-
ty we will fail to give that first place
to education necessary to educate all
the children of the State.
