MORALS, NOT BUSINESS.

In the powerful plea for the over
throw of 1.-THE Greatest Trust in the
World" in the August Everybody's,
Mr.. Charles Edward Russell con-
cludes his strong series of articles.
For the Beef Trust and it's evils
there is no remedy" he says. unless
we are willing to look upon the issue
as essentially an issue of morals and
not of business. We shall have to
come to a state of mind in which we
oppose such combination as this, not
because it compels us to lose dollars,
but because it means high treason to
the republic and all the republic
stands for. Until we are willing to
admit that what is involved here is a
principle vital to human liberty and
progress, and until we are willing to
make sacrifices for that principle and
TO stand for it through any chance of
personal loss, we do but waste time
to cry out against any trust. Oppo-
sition based upon balance sheets is
mere foolery. At any moment slight
change in market conditions sweeps
such an opposition from existence. We
have seen the fight against the Beef
Trust staggered before the temper
airy increase of $3.50 hundred pounds
in the price of cattle. Courts may
order competition until they are blue
in the face; Congress may pass any
kind of legislation it may see fit to
amuse itself with the President may
send many eloquent messages; indi-
viduals may complain and conventions
may resolve; the present conditions
will go on unchecked. A thousand
statutes will not be worth the paper
they are printed upon until the coun-
try gets ready to have them enforced
and is willing to endure the results
of the enforcement, whatever the re-
suits may be. 1t will come to this and
nothing else; for the moment we adj
NIT that there can exist a power like
the Beef Trust, greater than the Jaw,
independent of the government, and
inimical to the general welfare, that
moment there is no more republic
but only an irresponsible and arbitrary
oligarchy against which. logically, no
citizen can have protection or any
certainty of his rights

True. Mr. Hyde asserted that the

millions 20 millions is merely the re-

leaving the actual surplus on the
books of 10 millions-which, however,
may be radically affected by investi.
cation and reappraisementS.
If the surplus should turn out to
be so millions and this belonged to
the stockholders the Hyde Ryan
shares would manifestly be worth two
and one-half millions and more. But
superintendent Hendricks has pointed
out that the Equtable's charter and
it's sworn statements to the lnsur-
ance Department declare it to be
conducted on the mutual plan
and that its surplus belongs to the
policy holders: and the same state
ment has been yearly made under
oath TO the Commissioner of Taxes
and Assessments of this city-that the
surplus does not belong to the stock
holders, but is held for the benefit of
the assured and is free from taxation
Why, then, should the policy-hold-
ers in order to retire the stock pay
fifty times it's face value?

TINT REAL NEWSPAPER.

There are various notions about
what a newspaper should do. In the
old times. when Wilkes was sent to
Jail for criticizing Parliament, the idea
was prevalent that a newspaper that
dared to critisize Parliament ought to
be suppressed. There are some anti
quated lawyers and judges now who
think a newspaper should be criticized,
if not shut up, If it prints the news
with appropriate comment upon such
crimes in Raleigh as have recently
shocked the State.
Mr.. Grout, Comptroller of New
York. has sued the American and
Journal for s550,0O0 damages for al
legged libel, growing out of criticism of
his public acts. He has also caused Il
criminal action to be brought against
Mr.. Arthur Brisbane. who wrote the
article of which Mr.. Grout complains.
A newspaper that falsely assails a
public officer and refuses to correct
any wrong statement about him ought
to have to suffer for it, but in ninety
nine cases the newspaper errs in with
holding deserved criticism where Il
errs one time in unjust or unfair cri-

1t was right and proper, of course,
that Messrs. Rogers and Sorrell should
have been punished for their action in
trying to influence Wake county Jurors
in favor of Messrs Duke and Kilgo
While their action may have been
more in the nature of indiscretior
than of anything else still the offensy
was one that could not be overlooked
The question arises. Why did Messrs
Rogers and Sorrell take the action
they did? Was it merely out OF
friendship for the defendants? Were
they requested by some one to do it
Or why? We have no idea that the
defendants themselves had anything
in the world to do with it,. However
there are some questions in connectio
with the case that should be investi-
gated This thing of tampering with
Jurors should be stopped and The
persons guilty should be made TO real

"YOU TAKE THE BUZZARD EVERY
TIME"

Some people are slow to understand
the plan upon which the Standard Oil
Company operates-sell oil for moth
ing to drive out all competitors, and
make folks pay for the losses when
they buy in markets where there is
no competition. Rev. DR.. I. n. lvey,
who has been travelling through Kan
sas makes this observation in letter
to the Christian Advocate:
coil is the chief topic in Kansas
now. The Standard Oil Company is
the object of universal censure, indie
pendently of political parties. Oil is
very low now, and the Standard OIL
Company is held responsible"
The Biblical Recorder which seems
not to understand the situation, copies
the above and makes this comment;
isn't that a commentary. While
the Standard Oil Company on account
of the high price of oil, Kansas is mad
because it is very low!"
Until the people of Kansas STRUCK
ile," the price of oil in that State was
as high in Kansas as in North Caro-
lima. Suddenly the Kansans discov-
cred rich oil deposits. They declined
to sell out for song TO the Standard
Oil Company, whereupon the Standard
set in to make them smart. The, Kan
ever, to submit to be crushed without
fight, and the legislature then made
provision for the State to protect this
new product by establishing a refinery.
The Standard Oil Company put the
price down to such a low price that
Kansas was in danger of being inn
poverished instead of being enriched
by the discovery of oil The Supreme
Court came along and declared uncon-
stitutional the law that enabled the
fishing refineries, and the outlook in
Kansas for the oil section is anything
but bright, thanks to the exercise by
the Standard of its monopoly which
itu ses to put crude oil down next to
nothing. The Standard is determined

own price or starve out the men who
felt rich when they found oil on their
lands. And that is why oil is low in
Kansas and high everywhere else. If
oil should be discovered in North Car
Dina next week, the Standa~1. Oil
Trust would rob the people of this
State just as they are now getting in
shape to rob Kansas.
1t is a sad commentary upon our
Civilization that this and other outlaws
of commerce are permitted to violate
the laws and destroy the property of
citizens of the country. Some day
great man will rise who will be able
to cope with this and the other robbcr
trusts!

THEY PROTEST TOO MUCH.

Everybody who knows anything
knows that the men who are putting
up the money and pulling the strings
to secure an election for saloons are
men who expect to go into the saloon
business or have some business or po-
litical reason to wish to see the sa~
looms re-opened in Raleigh. Doubtless
there are others who will sign the pc
tition and vote for saloons But the
conception and prosecution or the
work up to date has been directed by
saloon keepers, and they arc the back
bone of the whole fight. Why? They
wish to transfer from the city and
county treasures the profits In selling
liquor into their own pockets, and to
open saloons where young men VIII
learn to drink and where old-time con-
ditions will be revived.
And vet. though the head and front
of the movement and paying ten cents
name for signers edo you want to
make ten cents?) the ex-saloon men
continue to say that prominent bust
ness men are directing the movement
and it is distinctly business mems
movement" All of which is buncombe
and bluff as anybody who
will take the trouble to in
yestigate the matter will find.
so far is distinctly a saloon fight by sal
loon men of saloon men and for sa'
loon, men.
The talk of big number of names
is also bluff. 1t is easy to put on names
but no name is worth anything unless
it is the name of a legal voter.
Raleigh wants no agitation or cleo
ton over the matter this year If you
have signed without reflection, take
your name off. If you have not signed,
refuse to do so.

CHEATHAM QU|TS|T
Leaves Seaboard to be in
Charge of Cape Fear
and Northern.

r. l. Cheathap1. Assistant General
Freight Agent of the Seaboard Air
Line, with headquarters at Atlanta,
will shortly sever his connection with
that company and move TO Durham,
where he will have offices and be in
charge of the Cape Fear and NortherD
Railway, which now runs from Apex
10 Dunn and which is rapidly extend
ing its line to Durham. Col. John @.
Angler is general manager of the Cape
Fear and Northern, which is owned by
the Dukes.
J. A. Pride. Commercial Agent of
the Seaboard. of Columbia, ). G., 1t is
stated, will succeed Mr., Cheatham as
Assistant General Freight Agent at At
lanta.
The announcement that Mr.. Cheat
ham will leave the Seaboard has
caused surprise i'm railroad circles gen
orally as it is known that he is one OF
the most popular officials of the sys-
tenn and stands high in the estimation
of the management. Mr.. Cheatham IS
one of the most prominent men In the
South and the fact that he is to be as
sociated with the Cape Fear and
Northern is additional evidence that
the Dukes really have great things in
view in the way of extensions for their
railroad.
The construction of the Durham eX-
tension is we'll under way and it Will
not be a great length Of time before
trains of the Cape Fear and Northern
will be operating through from Dur
ham to Dunn. The distance from
Durham to Raleigh via the new line of
the Cape Fear and Northern and the
Seaboard Air Line. connecting at
Apex, is said to be about five or SIX
miles greater than the present route
of the Southern Railway.

Spirit of the Press.
Southern Tobacco Journal.

Southern Tobacco Journal.
Dr. Len. G. Broughton, the Atlanta
sensational preacher, recently deliver
ed a sermon from his pulpit on the CT
sarette question. To say that the re-
marks of the gentleman were red
hot" does not express it, and to say
that they were Incorporate, to pain
full degree, is putting it mildly.
Men of the Broughton stripe always
do any cause they espouse great harm.
In their enthusiasm, prompted often
by prejudice, they frequently make
statements that are not bourne out by
facts For instance, here is one of the
Doctors gentle remarks:
But my real objection to the
cigarette is its moral and physio-
logical effects. l have often said,
and | stick to it, that the man who
habitually smokes cigarettes for
ten years will cheat steal, lie,
drink, murder, commit adultery,
any or all of these, that serves his
purpose l know some will re-
gard this statement as extreme,
but you would not if you had such
experience as | have.
Is this the truth? Does the Doctor
know many good men and true he has
slandered? Do we all not know hun
dredS of men who have smoked CT
garetteS for ten years or more VINO
are in every way honorable gentle
men? We do not want to be under
stood as advising boys to smoke cigar
cites, nor do we advise them to use
tobacco in any form until they are old
enough. All this talk. however, about
cigarettes being loaded with dope is
mere bosh, and the poisonous paper
talk is simply foolish. But listen al
another of the Doctors temperate re,
marks:
First my objection is to the
smoker himself. He looks like a
cake of tallow and smells like a
polecat. l have often said If L
were a girl | would about as soon
go to church with a skunk as
man who is soaked with cigarette
odor. Surely the poor fellow does
not know how bad he Smells
