ated in a measure by the local post

by Jews in this country, and many
Of these money orders have been re-
turned to the senders with state
ment that they could not be cashed.
The letters accompanying the re-
turned orders cite various reasons
for their being dishonored, one of
which is that orders have been issued
from st. Petersburg to refuse pay

for the purpose Of aiding the 1evo-

THE FORAKER AMENDMENT,

The Statehood bill which passed
the House some days ago has not
been voted on in the Senate. Sena-
tor Foraker has proposed an amend
ment which provides that on the
twelfth Tuesday after date of the
approval Of the act the Governors
Of Arizona and New Mexico shall
call special election, at which the
question to the voters of each Terri
tory shall be: ''Sha1 Arizona and
New Mexico be united to form one
State ?" If a majority of the voters
in each Territory shall vote in favor
of joint statehood, then the pro-
visions of the bill authorizing the
creation of Arizona are to go into
effect; but if majority in either
Territory vote against the union, the
succeeding sections of the bill are
null and void" Whether the bill
will pass the Senate as it came from
the House cannot be predicted, but
it is known that several of the Sena.
tors have amendments they wished
tackled on to the bill.

The Adams whipping-post bill for
wife beaters in the District OF Co
lumbia, which was defeated in the
House Monday, may have smacked
of barbarism, but when it becomes
necessary to deal with barbarous
men then it requires severe measures
to mete out justice to the offenders.
A man who will beat his wife is a
brute and should be treated as such.
The whipping-post may not be the
best method of Furnishing wife beat
ers, but the law regarding such men
should be more stringent and then

Flagler, who has made something
less than a hundred million dollars
in Standard Oil, and who has spent
a few of them in the building Of

railroad engineers to devise feast
BILE scheme by which through trains
over the Florida East Coast system

without change Of cars.
Mr.. Flagler believes that boats,
constructed somewhat after the
model of ferryboats, can be built
with train carrying capacity, and
at the same time capable Of navi-
eating the Gulf in all weather. If
it is found that this scheme is prac-
ticable, orders will be given in a
short time for the building OF
enough boats to carry all through
trains over the Florida East Coast
Line.
If the scheme goes into effect il
will mean that people desiring to &c

for elsewhere, would be removed, to
make room for all the INDECENT in

notified to provide for them else.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS

During the last two campaigns in
this State the Democratic politicians
promised to lengthen the term of
public schools, if they were elected.
Now the democratic papers are
urging the taxpayers to vote a spe-
cial tax to lengthen their school
terms and to build new school
houses. In many counties two dis
tricts have been consolidated in Or
der to give one school longer term,
and still there are 90 counties that
haven't four months school term
as was promised. In other counties
the people have been forced to vote
q special tax in order to secure an
education for their children. Why
haven't the 'sgood government"
crowd carried out their promises ?
If they didn't have the money why
didn't their legislature appropriate
a sufficient amount? What has be-
come of the 100000 surplus that
was on hand a year ago? The dem
ocratic politicians can always find
time to create new offices and in.
crease salaries Of party pets, but
they can't find time to provide for
sufficient terms to educate the poor
white boys of this State whom they
will disfranchise after 1908.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
ADVOCATES OF THE RATE ELL
ANXIOUS TO GET MEASURE
BEFORE SENATE.

Amendment to Limit Hours OF Canal La

ker Offers an Amendment to Statehood
Bill.
From our Washington CORES oondsntl
The advocates Of the Hepburn
bill, for the regulation Of railway
rates, In the Senate are growing
anxious over the situation. Ii Is
being talked in Washington that the
railroads are satisfied with the bill
and this fact has caused many Of the
Senators to be suspicious. But if
any Of the great railroads of the
country have made such statements
it is only in the hopes Of getting
a new bill and one On which the
Senate and House might not agree.
It will be remembered that the rate
bill passed the House with only
seven dissenting votes, and if it
passes the Senate in lis present shape
the people will be satisfied, and if
the measure is satisfactory to the
railroads, 30 much the better.
DEFICIENCY BILL PASSES SENATE.
The urgent deficiency bill passed
the Senate Friday. While the meas
ure was being discussed several of
the Senators took occasion to ex-
press themselves freely on several
phases of the Panama Canal ques-
ton. The bone of contention was
that of prescribing an eight.hour
law for all classes of workmen en-,
gagged on the canal, but the amend
ment was lost as it was claimed not
to be fair to the wOrkmen, since
they were to be paid by the hour
instead of by the day. The def
cheney bill, which carried an appro.
prirtion of about SIG, 100000, pro-
vides an appropriation Of $4,000
each for the widows of Senators
Plat, of Connecticut, Bates of Ten.

WOULD HURT SIMMONS.

The Executive Committee of the
North Carolina Anti-Saloon League
met in Raleigh Wednesday night.
1t was stated in the meeting that
political leaders are favorable to the
Temperance cause. These ''political
leaders" referred to are in favor OF
Temperance so long as Temperance
means democratic dispensaries and
democratic control of the whiskey
traffic in this State. When the Anti
Saloon League was organized it was
composed of some of the best peo'
pie of our State. Men who were
sincere In what they advocated.
These men are still sincere, but ever
since the league first met in Raleigh
the democratic politicians have been
getting az many Of their henchmen
as possible allied with the league go
they could turn it over to the demo-
cratic party. Two years ago 1t was
stated that the league was for ulti-
mate prohibition. But what condi-
ton of affairs do we find today?
Read the following which is taken
from report of the last meeting in
Raleigh:
at is understood that several MEM
bers of the committee urged that the
league fight this year for prohibition,
but this was voted down on the ground
that it would net be fair to Senator
Simmons and others just on the eve of
his campaign for reelection to the
Senate"
And 80 it is more important to
play politics than to carry out the
purpose of the league this year? 1t
looks as though the politicians have
succeeded In getting enough Of their
men in the league to capture it and
run it as side-line to Simmons
campaign for reelection this fall. Is
this course just to Gov. Glenn who
has already declared himself in ia
vor of State prohibition? Have the
democratic politicians set down on
the Governor in favor of Simmons u?
The question is, when will the poll
ticians be in favor of prohibition |?
If they can't advocate it this year,
they cannot two years hence, with
out showing partiality to Mr.. Sim
mons, as Senator Overman will come
up for reelection in two years.
It is simply another scheme to
fool the prohibitionists and try to
capture their vote for the demo-
cratic machine.
We have no axe to grind. We
simply think it our duty to warn
the real prohibitionists of the trap
the democratic machine has set for
them, just as we would warn any
one else whom We thought were
being deceived. So far as the writer
is concerned we believe in giving
the people what they want in other
words, we believe in local self:gov.
