Fool Talk on Both Sides.
Statesville Landmark.

There are those who say the Dem
ocratic administration is to blame
for the homicides that have occurred
in North Carolina. How ridiculous
the charge is may be seen when it is
remembered that possibly half of the
creatures who have committed muir
der hardly know whether a Demo
cratic or Republican administration
is in the saddle What does Bohannon
know about State politics? What
do the murderers of the Lyerlys know
OF it? That an effort is made to
show q connection between murders
and the fact that the Democrats are
running the State simply shows how
short of real argument the foes of the
Democratic party are.-GreensbOrO
Record.
This is correct, of course, but when
we were trying to redeem the State
from the fusionists in 1898 and 1900
Democratic speakers and newspapers
charged that the prevalence of crime
in the State was due to the fusion
government, the criminal classes
believing that they had friends at
court, SO to speak. The argument
was plausible one and was honest
ly made by many people. But now,
when there is an unusual preva-
lence of crime. Republican writer's
are paying us back in our own coin
by turning the tables on us. This is
the truth and we had just as well adj
init it.

Strictly Germ Proof.


The antiseptic baby and the prophylactic
pup
Were playing in the garden when the
bunny gamboled up.
They looked upon the creature with q
loathing undisguised-
1t wasn't disinfected. and it wasn't ster-
ilized.
They said 1t was a microbe and a hotbed
of disease;
They steamed it in a vapor of a thousand
odd degrees:
They froze it in a freezer that was cold
as banished hope
And washed it In permanganate with
carbo!ated soap.
In sulphuretted hydrogen they STEPPED its
wiggly ears:
They trimmed its frisky whiskers with
pair Of hard boiled shears;
They donned their rubber mittens, and
they took 1t by the hand
And 'lected it a member Of the fumigated
band.
There's not a micrococcus In the garden
where they play;
They swim in pure iodoform a dozen
times a day,
And each imbibes his rations from q
hygienic cup
The bunny and the baby and the prophy-
Tactic pup.

present cost OF express matter aS
carried by the Express Companies,
and what it might be with il Govern
ment Parcels Post.
The Chicago Dry Goods Reporter
is the authority for the statement
that Parcels Post law has been pre-
pared proposing that the government
carry up to eleven pounds packages
anywhere in the United States for
twenty-five cents. The present ex-
press charge is ofcourse vastly great
or than this.
The suggestion that the govern
ment 90 into the express business,
under the guise of Parcels Post,
naturally diverts public attention
from the real promoters OF the scheme
namely the great dry goods hous
and 1thnr trn1o houses IN the lar. r.

consumers III every part OF the cOun-
try whatever they might want at
prices which could not he met by the
retail dealers in the smaller cities,
towns and in the country, and which
would eventually lead to the elimina-
ton of all dealers except those in the
big cities.
The argument that the express
companies are making a big per cent.
on the present system, isnOt an argu-
.nent favoring government confis-
cation of their business, which q Par
cells Post would mean. 1.-THE express
companies charge in excess OF the
rights of the public they can be check
ed by the law as public carriers, but
let not the people be deceived into
believing that the government needs
the revenue, and so favor, Parcels
Post. It's the big Departmental stores
in the great cities OF the North that
seek the establishment of q Parcels
Post, and these would be the real
beneiiciaries under the establishment
