GRADE CROSSINGS.

1he County Commissioners of Wake
nave made a good beginning by re
curing the Seaboa.d Air Line to
change three grade crossings of pub
lie roads-two nea Raleigh and one
near ApeA-to overhead crossings.
Massachusetts, Connecticut and some
other states have passed acts %requir-
ing the abolition of all grade cross
ings. In a recent speech in Congress
Senator Lodge said:
For instance. this one single item
Will SHOW that I mean. When the
railroads began in Massachusetts ami
IN New England generally thev ran
at grade crossings everywhere. The

APPROPRIATE SENTIMENTS.

Every GEAR the Hamilton Club OF
Chicago invites a Southern man as
one Of its speakers, and it invites a
real Southern man without amy frills
who represents the best and the
dominant sentiment in the South.
This year Hon. Claude kitchin, Of
the second district was their guest.
Imagine a Thomas jefferson Demo-
crat addressing a Hamilton club. But
he was equal to il. IL gave express
sion to two sentiments that viii be
approved. He said:

the South with one voice. would pres
emf TO our flag his sentiment. The
air brcathed by slave or subject IS
not pure enough TO loaf the American
flag"
Congressman kitchin then turned
to the negro question, and declared
that it was the only spark that could
over again cause a resumption Of sec
tional animosity. He told of the
work being done to educate the col
ored race, and in conclusion, said:
"Our step in the slow march Of
the successful adjustment of the negro
question would be less imDcded if the
politician. North and South. could
be controlled by the conviction that
sectional harmony throughout our
common country is worth more TO the
peace and progress Of the Union than

should present him with Il COPY OF JET

ther instruction and be ~reconvertad to
hostility to eveIy subsidy, whether it
comes u way" or goes to the ship

Not a dollar Of the subsidy comes
South Or he1p the South. It goes into
j. Pierpont Morgan's Golfers and the
pockets of other holders of watered
stock of the Southern Railway, to be
used to pay big dividends on water,
fancy salaries, and none Of it Will go
to replace rotten cross-ties, to give bet
employees better wages.

The vote Of Mr.. Small, Mr.. Pou and
Mr.. Gudger, of North Carolina gives
j PieIpont Morgan & Company a gift
Of $l42,7zS per year. That sum would
establish 1913 free rural delivery
routes that are badly needed. Is ii best
TO give the money 10 the transpofta-
ton monopoly or to establish rural de-
livery routes that help the people? The
money spent in free rural delivery
would help the South; the money vot-
ed to j. Pierpont Morgan Will never
get South of New York city.

ity after work by the strongest lobby

by the vote of three North Carolina

A r.EAT DIET.

Lincoln Journal:-People must still
eat, If not meat, then something else
Whatever that something else may be
must be furnished by the farmers, ana
except for the expense Of REIMBURSEMENT
the farmers would not suffer material
ly, taken as a whole, from DRIFT 10
vegetarianism resulting from the loud
packing house stencil that now fills
the land. But there will be no marked
drift to vegetarianism, nor will Eu-
rope long refuse to eat American
meat. The packing magnate who says
to the contrary is excited and inter-
ested excessively in creating senti-
ment against the exposure of packing
house conditions. These hot days
many people will undoubtedly decide
to do without meat. People always
do that on hot days, but they seldom
keep 1t up past the first turn in the
mercury. Despite the arguments or
the vegetarians, the Great bulk of peo-
pie are mistaken In the belief that
meat diet is essential to dominant
people. 1t seems fairly clear that the
races that have adopted vegetarian
ism have done so from necessity, that
they change to meat whenever they
have a chance, and that those not
having meat tended to come under the
whip of those who do. Occidental peo-
pie who from choice try to get along
on vegetable food almost invariably
consume great quantities of milk,
eggs and cheese, all animal foods.
Should meat and pork become less In
demand the stock farms will have an
extra demand for the products of the
COW and the hen to offset it. 1t Is to
be observed that people do not stop
using milk because occasionally a
dairyman is convicted Of supplying I'M
clean, adulterated or embalmed milk;
hardly more will they long turn away
from meat here or in Europe because
like methods have been resorted to by
some of the meat dealers.

vention than at any other time in his
long career. but democracy passed him
by and took up Alton b. Parker. Cor
man went to the Chicago convention
In 1892, but undeclared. 1t was Hi]l
whoN stood In Gorman's way at that
time: II the New York delegation
could have gotten away from It's in-
structions and dropped HILL said
Boss" Croker once in discussing that
convention, 1--WE could have beaten
Cleveland and nominated either Cor
man or Morrison. But Hill insisted on
the delegation wasting itself on him"
1t was In Cleveland's last adminis-
tration that break occurred between
the democratic president and the lead
er OF the party in the senate. In q
speech which always will be remem.
bered by those who heard it Senator
German severely arraigned the presi-
dent To this opposition the defeat Of
Senator German few years later Is
attributed, although his party lost
Maryland In the silver campaigns. AS
soon as the democrats regained con-
troll of the state he was at once re-
elected to the senate. 1t was tribute
to his leadership that as soon as he
was again in the senate he was made
leader of the minority and, although
the seniority rule is strictly enforced.
German was given committee places
after long continuous service.
Every summer Senator German went
to Saratoga for several weeks. Ono
evening Judge Grub of Delaware re-
marked: Senator German, you and I
have been coming to this hotel now
for nearly a dozen years, and every
summer when I get back home hnd
that l have told you everything know,
whereas you never tell me thing
nd
about him, for they appreciated that,
the judge had given a capital descrip-
ton Of Mr.. German.
There was something alert and dap
per about German, even until his last
illness. He was man of small stat
ure, with a strong, pleasant, smooth
ly shaven face. Evidently he had
plenty of physical strength with which
to support his mental labors. In tho
fierce campaign of 1892, which results
ed In the election of Mr.. Cleveland, ho
performed tasks beyond the mind musA
Gle and body muscle Of ordinary men.
From Its inception to It's close he waA
the informing and dominating spirit
of that struggle, arduous. constant,
sleepless, steady. calculating and In
vincible. Two weeks before Its close
he unhesitatingly announced demo-
cratic victory to the press men and
called the name of everv state that
would go for Cleveland except one,
When he claimed Illinois he was greet
ed with laugh of denial. "Go slow,
senator" said one newspaper man.

been since the birth Of the party" "It
Is republican state now" said Mr..
German, "but 1t will go for Mr.. Cleve-
