The POSTMASTER, after having de-
clared the race question settled. went
on to say 'tlet us have political free
dom in North Carolina" as if we had
been living under what Yerkes called
political peony" in North Carolina
Bancroft said that the early North
Carolinians were 1.-The freest of the
free" and that has always been. the
distinguishing character of the State.
1t is as true today as it was in 1916 or
1876-two notable years of declara-
tons for freedom in North Carolina
There has never been a period when
we did not have political freedom in
North Carolina. In 1868 the State
was almost solidly Republican in it's
government. In 1870 the Republican
Legislature was swept out of existence.
In 1872 the Republicans elected their
State ticket. In 1880 the Democratic
majority was dangerously near a min
GRITTY. In 1886 the Democrats lost the
House of Representatives. In 1894.
under an election law made and exc
cuted by Democrats and with nearly
every office in the State held by Demo-
Gratis the Fusionists made almost
clean sweep in the State. In 1898.
under an election law passed by the
Fusionists and with nearly every office
held by Fusionist, the Democrats
made almost as clean a sweep as the
Fusionists had done in 1894. These
remarkable changes prove that the
people of North Carolina have ever
had political freedom and exercised
it.
During the years when the negro
vote stood as menace, men who
wished temperance legislation and
other good things that threatened a
division of the white vote. repressed
their wishes, preferring to forego some
good changes to opening a Pandora's
box of ills. Instead of that repression
being a subject of criticism it is worthy
of the highest praise. This is recog-
nized by the Biblical Recorder which
says:
I'VE have. been in the midst of an
all-engroSSing situation in which it
was impossible-and entirely unwise-
to address ourselves to any other mat
ter. That is not to be ashamed of,
much as it may be deplored. Nor is it
to be apologized for. To have done
less would have been wrong. would
have been weak, would have been un-
manly.
1T was not, then. we insist an arti-
fetal restraint upon our liberties: but
a deliberate. voluntary, wise abandon
ment of other matters in order to
properly treat another closer home.
This happens in every State. and in, all
periods: We surrender our minor
choice to a paramount issue, choice
or necessity. This surrender was not
forced upon us by political party.
Rather a political party put itself in
position to get the benefit OF it and
another put itself in position to get
just the opposite. This was reason
able and right. Nothing else could
have been expected

The mildly alcoholic fumes which arise

Just as in certain parts of the west

Marriage and Divorce in Japan.

They marry early and often in ia
pan. A man aged forty, living in the
province of Bizen, has married an6
divorced thirty-five wives, and is now
married to a thirty-sixth. The reason
he assigns for his extraordinary tickle
ness is that he has a younger sister OF
extremely rancorous and jealous dis
position, who, from the moment a new
bride enters the house, Institutes a
system Of persecution which soon
drives the unhappy woman to ask her
husband for a divorce, which is an
easy and inexpensive process in the

Verse.
To talk with the wild brook Of all the
long ago;
To whisper the wood vim Of things we
used to know
When we were old companions, before
my heart knew woe.
To walk with the morning and watch its
rose unfold;
To browse with the noontide, lulled on it's
heart of gold;
To lie with the nighttime and dream
the dreams of old.
To tell to the old trees, and to each list
ening leaf,
The longing, the y%earning, as in my boy
hood brief,
The old hope, the old love, would ease my
heart Of grief.
The old lane, the old gate, the old house
by the tree,
The wild wood, the wild brook-they will
not let me be;
In boyhood l knew them, and still they
call to me.

what Christianity Is.

Christianity is that historic religion
founded by Jesus of Nazareth, and
having it's bond of union in the re-
demption mediated by Him, in which
the true relation between God and man
has for the first time found complete
and adequate expression, and which
throughout all the changes of intellect
ual and social environment which the
centuries have brought. still continues
to maintain itself as the religion best
worthy of the allegiance of thoughtful
and worthy men.-Sclleiermacher.

Modern Schools Criticized

Prof. H. c. Annsling, in a recent
address in London, said that school
and college education were mostly de-
structive Of common sense. The clas-
steal school was not a school of
thought, but of prejudice, and under
the present unfortunate system of edu-
cation it was chiefly the games which
promoted a%lertness, individuality and
common sense.
