In this issue of the U ionwe pub
lish a portion of a paper read at the
State hardware Dealers association
at Duluth on the value of advertising
in the country papers. The paper was
written from the standpoint of q hard

paper will apply with equal force to
the advertising policy of most any

President Roosevelt was inaugu.
rated as the chief executive of the
nation last Saturday amid scenes un-
parallel in the whole history of the
country. Representatives from our
foreign possessions were present,
many of whom had never seen an
American citizen made the head OF
Greater America. Here is man who
has stuck in the saddle while the
bucking capitalists and trust promot-
ers tried to throw him.

Playing the Baby Act.

Minneapolis is playing the "baby
act' with. regard to taxes in a manner
that ought to bring the blush of
shame to the cheeks of it's citizens,
but State Auditor Iverson called them
down in good shape last week when
he showed that they were not yet pay
ing their proportion of the State tax
as compared with other localities.
The climax was reached at a banquet
to the Legislature last week, when the
toast-master, prominent jobber of
that city, referred to the State board
Of equalization as the "board of in
business and assassination. The
statement of Mr.. Iverson the next
morning came in quite pat in refuting
this base SANDER. He says emphati-
cally that the State board did not
add a dollar to the county, city or
| local taxes of that city. The main
cause of complaint with the saw dust
city seems to be in the matter of
household furniture which was in
creased by the board about fifty per
cent, but it was increased in other
counties of the State from twenty to
200 per cent, and they are taking
their medicine without making specta-
Giles Of themselves. But we suspect
the whole trouble lies in the fact that
the public service corporations were
boosted quite considerably, and the
hue and cry is probably raised by
agents of these interests who seem to
have succeeded in making the business
interests think they have been dis
eliminated against, when as matter
OF fact they are not yet paying their
proportion of State tax as compared
with farmers throughout the State

A bill has been introduced in the
Legislature to legalize expenses incur
red by village councils for free musi-
cal entertainments. A good bill,
push it along. A village council
ought to encourage band concerts by
liberal appropriations each year.
There is nothing that the people of a
community so much appreciate as
open air concerts and village bands
should be given every encouragement
in this line possible.

Tom Lowry's palatial private street

Governor Johnson and his friends,

Garfeld's report on the beef trust
does not fill the bill and is not what
the people expected. It reads like the
report of one of the members of the
clerical force of the beef trust. If this
is the best that can be secured by the
government better call off the investi-
cation Of the Standard Oil trust. The
development of these big commercial
organizations is one of the natural
results of the commercial evolution
of the age, but the encroachments OF
these concerns on legitimate trade and
the throttling of competition is unjust
and contrary to the spirit of our gov.
eminent. The series of articles on
the beef trust now running in Every.
body's Magazine show up the true
state of affairs of this octopus. bene-
fetal in some respects and yet in it's
uninterrupted sway securing an abso.
lutte control of the beef and provision
trade and all auxiliary trades of the
entire country. The people are read
ing these articles in the magazines and
getting posted. The big packers have
swallowed up the refrigerator car
system of the country and today have
absolute dictation over the fruit trade
of California and many parts of the
country. They have waxed so fat
that they compel the railroads to sub.
nit to their dictation in many ways.

over a new leaf. IA & 6

Rev. E. E. Madeira preached a
sensible sermon to his congregation
in Christ's church, St. Paul, last Sun
day evening. Among other good
things he said: ILL.,.
"In it's broadcast sense, an honest
man is one who is true in all his
obligations, rendering to everybody
his dues, his money dues, his dues of
reputation, his dues in every circum-
stance and relationship of life.
~" Tribute to whom tribute is due, ,
summarizes the whole thing. This ad-
dressed to the taxpayer calls his at
tention to what he owes the govern
ment under which he lives. It tells
him that to evade that obligation is
| not honest; that to list half of his
property and set it down at half it's
value, withholding tribute where
tribute is due, is not honest. .
sit says Honor to whom honor is
duue'-so that a man who reviles an
honorable official, seeking to break
down his reputation simply because he
does not belong to the same political
party or any fellow man because he
is envious of him or has some per-
sonal grudge against him, is not
honest.
'We should also be careful not to
rob a man of his good character.
That is the dearest thing he possesses.
TO rob man of his reputation is the
most inexcusable of all forms of rob-
berry, for it brings the robber no en-
richment.
"Don't be knocker. The world
is too full of knockers men who seem
to hunt around like scavengers in a
garbage barrel. They may really
have no cause for knocking, but they
must do it. I believe God hates a
knocker. The world ought to, for he
is highwayman who is often pub
lie assassin, and he ought to be put
out of business by honest men, -

CURRENT COMMENT.

One of the most sensible pieces
of legislation attempted since the
present Legislature assembled is
the bill introduced Saturday, by
Representative Alexander provid-
ing for a maximum State and
county poll tax of So and a maxi
mum city poll tax of 81. The
bill got "a good start and there
should be no delay in making it a
law. North Caaollnians are a
tax-ridden people, as witness the
statement to the Raleigh CORES
pendent of The Observer by a
gentleman from one city that the
poll tax there amounted to SO.
In many cases the persons from
whom this exorbitant poll tax is
exacted enjoy no greater benefit
than the privilege of walking the
street.-Charlotte Observer.

In offering The WArcHMAN at
the present price, SOC, some small
explanation is appropriate. Real
ling the fact that to employ some
one to make a complete canvass
of the county,t the cost would most
probably reach SO per cent. of the
receipts, If not more, so We have
decided to give this amount to
the subscriber who comes in with
the cash, any time between now
and March 31st., after which the
price will be $1.OO. We are send
ing out some sample copies for
the inspection of those who may
receive same, which, by the way,
is also an invitation to become a
subscriber. Any one subscribing
now will get near a year and three
months for his money, SO it is to
your interest to subscribe at onte.

streets tomorrow will say.
with the exception of a few lake
and seaboard ports which show
effects of past bad weather, dis
tributive trade in almost all lead
Ing markets assumes a more favor
able aspect. This is due to the
spread of milder weather condi-
tions and the increase in the num-
Der of country buyers. Jobbers
stocks are generally reported
light, and the feeling grows that
spring trade will be heavy as soon
as reasonable weather definitely
sets in. Relatively the best re-
ports, as to trade come from the
central valleys and the South.
The general tendency of reports
as to the winter wheat crop is
that the heavy snow covering has
helped the crop, Heavy rains on
the Pacific coast have made for
good crop prospects,, especially in
California.
among the industries, iron
and steel still show relatively the
most active demand and the lar
gest turnover. Pig iron has
sold better at all markets, rails
have also been bought more free
ly, and locomotives, cars and
track supplies have been taken
more largely.

SALISBURY, N. c., MARCH 1, 100:
A REPORT CALLED FOR.

The citizens of Salisbury want a
reliable itemized report of the re-
ceipts and disbursements of every
branch of their government, in
Guiding bond issues, borrowed
money, etc. from the Goth of Nav,
1901, up to the present time.
This is a just and lawful request,
it is a request that should have
long been obeyed without the
necessity of a call. They feel that
extravaganza has out done itself
and the cry for more money and
higher taxes is unnecessary and an
Injustice to the individual, to the
city. a hinderance to prospective
enterprises and a damper to future
Investments.
Two years ago the people were
ignored and the legislature petit
toned to allow the borrowing of
money, we believe the amount vas
something like $4,000 or $4,000.
This year the request is for In
erased taxes all along the line and
the borrowing of $50, 900, or asking
the legislature to put a burden on
the people that they do not want,
are unwilling to. assume and would
vigorously resist if opportunity
offered.
If the last aud present admins
traticn have been such grand and
. glorious successes why is it neces-
sary for the people to call for re-
ports? Why r not they proud
ly exhibited? There should have
been four reports made according
to the requirements of the city
charter, one for each year. Blu.
the people have thus far called in
vain and it is not likely a correct
report will be obtained until a
change of administration is had.
We are Car riddenl
