Corruption By The Rich.

Every great cause needs a great
leader. and it is of immense import
ance to the Americans who are en-
gagged in trying to save the country
from graft in. politics and in business
to know that they have an uncompro-
missing enemy of graft in the President
of the United States. 1t is an inSpir-
ing fact that he has made the cause
his own, and in utterance and action
proclaimS his persistent determine
ton to make war upon unrighteous-
ness.
Nothing he has said upon the sub
ject is more fOrcible and notable than
his declarations at the Harvard COM
mencement last week. There he in
sisted that the rich man who conducts
his business dishonesty cannot square
himself with a Wronged community by
giving lavishly of his crime begotten
wealth. He insisted upon the faith
funess to a hioh trust of the lawyer
"who employs his talent and his learn
ing in the task often enabling
a wealthy client to override and cir
cumvent the law" and he declared
that the community is not to be eX-
cused if it does not develop a spirit
which actively frowns upon and dis
countenances" the rich criminal.
The conniving lawyer and the silent
ly acquiescent citizen in this view are
alike to blame for the movement of
the dishonest millionaire along the
pathway of unobstructed success. In
a free community not only is such a
man every mans enemy but every
man. as an owner of the government,
and having a vital interest in the SUI
premacy of justice, is under an OBJ
legation to offer resistance.
This he cannot do by folding his
hands and remaining silent and pas
sIve; mis- duty is to make vigorous pro-
tests. He will not fulfill his obligation
if he shall consent to receive pOr-
uon of the plumber for. religious pur-
poses in which he is interested or for
educational enterprises that are in
need. or shall agree to share in the
spoil by accepting ground floor favors
in the allotment of stock that has II
faint upon it. Every honest man to
the limit of his opportunity and his
capacity should make unceasing war
upon 4 the wealth grabbing bandit
whose life is spent waging war upon
the products of the nation.
If great thief visibIy prospers the
little thief has a strong hope born
in his soul. If one law may be
trampled underfoot by big and bold
rascal. why should any man with ras-
cally propensities pay respect to any
law? 80

Spirit of the Press.
Three Types of Ability.
arper's Magazine for July.

harper Magazine IOr July.
Three types of ability are in con-
slant demand for the more important
position in the business world-the
ability to organize direct and man
age; the ability to create new mar
kets, either by advertising or personal
arguments; and devise labor and time
R4Ting devices. For these abilities
employers arc willing to paw salaries
that formerly would have been con-
sidered fabulous 1t is the possession
or lack of one or all of these types
which devide men into three great
classes. At one extreme are the ex-
traordinaries, capable executives,
statesmen and detail men; at the other
extreme men who possess none of
these qualifications but are fitted to do
manual labor or automatically per-
form routine clerical duties. Between
them comes a large clasS-the medic
ere man, too proud to work
with his hand and with only a limited
amount of executive, selling or detail
ability. The question of salary be-
comes secondary consideration when
employers see the man that they
want. We do not care how much we
pay said the president of a million
dollar manufacturing company, pro
vided we can get man who can man

ed to a conclusion that is not correct
He is entirely right in his fundament-
al position that "if it is wrong to put
the price of cotton down against the
natural and economic laws, 1T cannot
be right to put it up In disregard OF
the same laws and the farmers have
not attempted to do that and, in our
judgment, will not attempt it. Their
fight is to protect themselves against
the methods that have destroyed the
natural workings of the law of supply
and demand.

SPEAKS WE'LL FOR VIRGINIA
VOTERS.

The people of North Carolina took
deep interest in the recent Virginia
primary, particularly in the race for
State Superintendent of Public In
struction for two reasons:
1. One of the candidates, Mr.. J. ID.
Eggleston, Jr., was for some years a
resident of North Carolina, and was
superintendent of the Asheville graded
schools.
2. Mr. Eggleston had discovered
and exposed graft in the department
of which he has now been chosen the
head, and otherwise shown his abil-
ity and fitness for that important posi-
ton.
The returns from Virginia disclose
the fact that Mr.. Eggleston was elect
ed by a majority of thirty thousand
the largest majority received by any
candidate That large majority speaks
we'll for the voters of Virginia. 1t is
too often true that the courageous man
who exposes graft is refused honors,
and, while his brave action secures the
removal of the derelict official, the
place is too often given to man who
lacks the civic courage necessary to
expose wrong doing That is so often
the fate of the public spirited reformer
that it is a matter for congratulation
that the Virginia voters have honored
themselves by the significant majority
they have given Mr.. Eggleston.
The election of a man like Mr.. Egg
gleston to the head of Virginia's sys-
tenn of public instruction is matter
for congratulation for better reason,
for he is a man whose faith, ideals,
beliefs. and capacity eminently fit him
for the great office. In our newer ed
ucational activities, the chief Office In
every Southern State except the Gov
ernor is the head of the public school
system. Too long we have regarded
that office as secondary to the custo-
dian of funds, or the keeper OF the
great seal or the law official. we
have learned better now and In all the
Southern States the wisest citizens are
attaching more Importance to the
head OF the public school system than
any other official of like degree. Mr..
Eggleston is brilliant and progress
siye educator and will rank with
North Cardinals superintendent and
the other progressive men who arc
leading in the most important work
that touches the present and future
glory of the State.

We had not understood that the
purpose of the meeting at Asheville
was to Elk the price of cotton and
cotton seed" The Cotton Growers
Association was organized when the
manipulators. aided as since shown
put down the price of cotton to a level
that left no margin of profit to farm
ers. 1t was apparent then that if the
farmers planted a big crop and sold
freely at the prevailing prices the re-
suit spelt Ruin to the South. In that
emergency, the farmers, merchants
and bankers organized at New Or
leans to urge the farmers to reduce
their acreage and sell their crop
gradually instead of rushing it on the
market. There is nothing wrong in
giving advice Of that character any
more than in advising real estate deal
ers to hold their land upon d probable
rise in values due to a probable in
crease of population. The Southern
Cotton Association has no power to do
anything except to advise farmers as
to the probable price of cotton. The
farmers are studying cotton conditions
and organizing so they can get accur-
ate information. There is surely moth
ing wrong about that. Only a por-
ton of the farmers belong to the AS
ISOLATION and their views have no
binding effect upon the mass of cot
ton growers.
1t will be we'll enough to wait until
the farmers seek to Elk prices ana
destroy the law of supply and de-
mand before the press criticizes their
action. SO far the work the Asso-
citation has done has been legally and
morally right and has won the admir-
alton of the world. II they attempt
to make a trust, they will fail and
ought to fail and the press of the
South will not be dumb. But so long
as the Association goes on in it's pres
ent course of getting accurate infor-
nation and urging farmers not to sell
at prices that have no relation to the
law of supply and demand, just so
the cooperation and support of the
press.
