AZ The Progressive Farmer, of recent

Roosevelt in paying for his special
train used by him on his recent trip(?)
takes occasion to say the following Of
our honoTed Senator: I'VE honoi
Senator Turrcntine in our North Caro-

a supper given to the Senators by d
great railway official in Raleigh last
winter. And with equal feeling we

pie, but really the paid attorneys and
hirelngs of other masters The Sem
ator in question says he would have
accepted such an invitation as quickly
from this man as from any other
friend, and would not have been afraid
of being called a paid attorney" or a
"hireling." The Senator is made or
stuff that can't be bought and has the
sense of honor to feel that he could
sit down with a body of distinguished
gentlemen without feeling that he was
in danger of being bought"

PLAIN ATTEMPT TO EVADE.

When a town or city votes license
the people have a right to open sa-
looms under such rules and regula-
tons as the majority wish to have i'm
posed. No temperance element in the
minority should seek to prevent sa-
looms in proper places conducted in
proper hours.
When a town or city votes "prohi-
bition" the people have a right to de-
mand that the law shall be enforced.
The public official who does not do his
best to enforce it ought to get out
of office and let officials be chosen
who will give the law a fair chance.
More than that, the individual citi-
zen ought to acquiesce in the law and
not seek to negative it by such trans
parent evasions as the proposed
"corkage" establishment that is to be
opened in Greensboro. All men who
believe in fair play should frown
down upon the transparent attempt
to defeat the law. The Greensboro
Telegram makes this appropriate COM
ment:
1.-THE news about the proposed open
ing of the cOrkage establishment as
mentioned yesterday morning is very
disappointing to those who hoped to
see prohibition given a fair trial in
Greensboro. We sincerely hope that
some means may be devised to pre-
vent such a business from being con-
Quoted in this city. The people of
Greensboro have indicated decisively
that they wanted to see how the town
would get along without saloons 1t
may be contended that the proposed
corkage concern is not a saloon, but
no one will deny that it does one of
the very things that prohibition as
voted by the people is particularly
aimed at-that is, it facilitates ana
makes alluring the practice of drink
ing. Thus the spirit, if not the let
ter, of~the law will be violated, and
this will constitute direct and fragrant
defiance of the will of the majority
as expressed at the -colls last July.
We earnestly trust that the project
will be abandoned or that it can be
shown that to conduct it will be, %
violation of law
IT is fortunate that Greensboro has
a mavor and board of aldermen who
have the mind to prevent the evasion
of the law. and there is no doubt
they will have the judgment to prop
erly prevent the operation Of a cork
age establishment" even if technical
and stick-in- the-bark lawyers advise
that it is no evasion. The courts of
North Carolina could not be hood
winked by any such evasion sup
ported by special pleading.
Greensboro voted for prohibitions.
Every law-abiding man in Green's
boro, whether he believes in prohibit
ton or not. is opposed to shams and
frauds and evasions. The "corkage es-
adjustment" is nothing else. If it is
allowed to stand. then prohibition is a
farce

We do not know where the chief

the chief sinner, or with the railroad
for not securing the cars, but there is
one thing that does not admit of
doubt: Somebody ought to be forced
to pay the growers for every quart of
berries that rotted for lack of rapid
transportation facilities.
There was sufficient notice that the

the shortage of refrigerator cars and

SOUTHERN BOYS TO THE FORE,

Referring to the results of the re-

ously says:
1.-THE names of five young men, th:5

out by the authorities of tire academy
as star men. They have achieved all
round excellence in their final eXami-
nations, and they stand at the head OF

men is from Michigan and another
from Oregon The rest are from the
South. The first man on the list IS
Jones, of Georgia, the third is Graves
of North Carolina, and the fifth is Rid
ley of Maryland.
1.-THE dfsappoin tment that may be
felt because eastern men are not rep
resented in this honor roll of the edu-
cational institution which Americans
love best is compensated by the
thought that the part of the country
which has given America a race of
brave soldiers and great generals from
George Washington to Fitzhugh Lee.
is still able to furnish it's quota of
able and loyal young Americans to
take the prizes at West Point"
Before and since the war, the South
was justified by her territory of the
young men who have gradu-
ated at the top from both the Military
and the Naval Academies. The
war with Spain indicated both the
patriotism and the exception
al value of the Southern graduates
to the country's arms of defense, as
we'll as showed the fact that the South
remembered the struggles of the six

than that which glories in race tradi-
ton.

North Carolinians will be pleased to
see the name of "Graves," who is
Ernest Graves, formerly of Chapel
Hill, all-round athlete, good fellow and
soldier valiant. Before going to West
Point he was q student of the Univer-

POLL TAX TOO HIGH.

; In his inaugural as MayOrisOf Will
mington, Hon. Alfred Moore Waddell
stated that the poll tax in the city of
Wilmington is $3.50 and for State and
county purposs $2.43, making total
of $500. After pointing out the fact
that under recent Supreme Court de-
cisions the constitutional provision
requiring a proportionate poll and
property tax does not apply to munic-
ipal corporations, Mayor Waddell
said:
81 am in favor of reducing the city
poll tax to one dollar, not only be-
cause the present tax is oppressive on
many people, but because about as
much revenue will be obtained as is
now collected
Poll tax in Raleigh is nearly as
high as in Wilmington. 1t is so high
that very many do not pay it, and
many others do not pay until forced
by the Tax Collector to pay. 1t is bur
densome and unjust on men who work
for small wages. Mayor Waddell
thinks almost as much revenue
will be obtained" from the one dol
lar tax as from the $3.50 tax.
Raleigh ought to reduce its poll
tax!

WANT TO MAKE IT ODIOUS.

1t has been the deliberate policy of
many Republicans since the passage
of the Watts law to try to make it
odious. The program has been for
revenue officials and county officers to
permit moonshine sitting to go on un-
touched by those distillers who would
help the Republicans in the elections
and point TO the people who wish tenn
perance and say: The Watts law is
{, humbug. There has been no i'm
proyement." Here is fit answer to
them In the Wilkesboro Chronicle:
THE Union Republican aud the
ether Republican papers keep charg-
ing that the Democratic solicitors and
judges do not try to enforce the State
tenn perance laws. This is an unjust
ard false accusation. This law is en-
forced with reasonable satisfaction
except in Republican counties, and
some of them are trying to do their
duty. The Republican ought tC tell it's
readers that after the solicitor and
judge did what they could to have the
law enforced in Republican Wilkes.
the Republican grand jury ignored the
bills-over 80. The Republican ought
to lock at things as they are instead
of in a blind partisan way. 1T is the
Republicans who fail to enforce the
temperance laws in this section"

ideas were Endorsed by many of the pro-
testing delegates, opened today's session.
He said he owed 1t to the Supreme Council
and himself to say he was convinced by the
address of Able Lands of Nashville, Tenn,
the expert fraternal actuary, that his cal
culations were radically wrong but the diff
ferenceS were not so irreconcilable but that
a plan of modification of the rates might be
arrived at that would relieve the tension eX-
listing. The discussion between Mr.. andis
and the delegates as to plans occupied the
entire morning session.
DIR. Darrin S. Wilson of Boston, founder
of the order, stated he came here with a
sad heart and feeling that the days of the
order were numbered, because of the rates
adopted at Atlantic City. He had studied
he was utterly and forever opposed to re-
scnding the rates adopted in May. But
something absolutely must be done to re-
lieye the old men now in the order. The
spirit of the meeting seems to be 4
desire for modification of the present rates.
William Wilhelm, a protesting delegate
from Pennsylvania, stated that he was I'M
converted to the new rates and urged that
expert knowledge be not depended on, but
that some practical plan be worked out with
which the delegates could go back to the
members. They only sought what was for
the good of the order.

sion 1t Is possible another open session
will be held.
