Some Legislative Appropriations

SOmc Legislative appropriations
Mr.. Editor:-We have the follow
ing opinion of some of the appropri'
alton bills before the State Legisla-
ture now in session:
One to establish agriculture exper'
iment stations all over the state.
Now we have ut least three or four
such station schools, which ought to
be able to keep US posted on all new
matters in farming and stock raising.
If a young man would learn farming,
why not work year for some pro-
gressive, practical farmer, keep his
eyes wide open and 40 learn to do by
doing2 Othor things being equal we
would risk such a person against any
graduate of the state schools. If such
schools could reach the people that
ought to be reached and teach neat
ness, refinement and sanitary copdi-
tons they would be desirable, but
they could not. We must depend
upon the common schools to DO .such
things.
Another for State Normal Schools
of which we now have five, which are
enough for any state and mere than
the states Of Illinois, Indiana aud
Ohio have, taken together, (un'ess
they have established some within a
few years.. Ohio, which is sovers'ock-
ed With presidential timber, has no
state normal. unless very recently es.
tablished. DRAW your own infer
ence). We believe in having some
state normals, even if they do not de-
velop material for statesmen. Auoth
er large amount for buying land
around the new Capitol Building.
This is probably for the benefit "f
the land owners-not the people.
The principal business of IN hon
est legislator is to prevent the food
of needless appropriations, and 20
check the everlasting increase of
taxes.
Suppose we slow up little with
all state institutions which generally
ask for twice as much ss they expect
to get, and three times as much as
they need. G.. W. Dealand.

Syracuse, N. Y, June 15.--Chancel.
lor James r. Day of Syracuse univer-

to President Roosevelt's plan for an
Inheritance tax as a remedy for

"Sequestration of fortunes is the
lunacy ofssocialism.
Anything that makes the rewards
of lawful investment. uncertain is de-
struction of commerce, impoverishes
the laboring man and blights the am
bition of young business men.
Rescue the land from the agitators
and rdemagogic tinkers and there are
no bounds to its progress, no limit to
its development in every good thing.
1T is not the business Of govern
ment to make holy, but to keep men
free and to enable them to exercise
their largest powers for the greatest
lawful acquisition.
I'VE cannot make little men great
by making big men small, nor poor
men rich by making rich men poor.

Caldwell Butted In

Caldwell, whose home is on Staten
Island, again came forward last
summer, this time with an affidavit
bearing on the contest for a duke
dom. For several years heirs of T. L..
bruce have alleged that their father
was really the fifth Duke of Portland,
who had led a double life. Cald-
wells affidavit declared that he knew
the late Duke of Portland intimately;
that he had successfully treated him
for an affection of the nose, and
had thereby won his everlasting graft
tude.
Caldwell then swore that he knew
the Duke of Portland was living a
double life, and that the Duke finally
became tired of it and asked Cald-
we'll to help him out of his predica-
ment Caldwell swore that he fixed
up a mock death and funeral for
bruce; that he personally placed
in the coffin a sufficient quantity of
lead to make it of the same weight
as bruce, that he superintendent the
funeral, and that the coffin contain
ing the lead was placed in a vault,

Mr. MaxwelI a WaIhalIa BOY.

The sad news of the tragic death of
IS. Earle Maxwell was received in Wal
hRlla late Sunday afternoon. It was a
terrible shock to his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. G. K. Maxwell, and their family,
who have the deepest sympathy of many
friends in their hour of sorrow.
Mr.. Maxwell was born near Fair Play,
this county, on February 20, 1870. When
quite young his parents moved to Wal
halla, where his boyhood days were
way service. In February, 1905, he was
happily married to Miss Myrtle Meecham,
of Raleigh, N. c., who, with an infant
son, survives. Mr.. Maxwell's untimely
death recalls the death of Mr.. Meeoham,
Mrs. MaxwelPs father, in North Caro-
lima, less than year ago. He was in
stantly killed by a train in the railway
yards at Raleigh.
Mr.. Maxwell stood high in the estima-
tion of his division officials on the Sea-
board road, and Is remembered for faith
full aud excellent service during the time
he was employed on the. Southern srsil-
way. Brave and fearless, no personal
danger could sway him from what he
saw to be his duty, and he died as he had
lived, ready to sacrifice himself rather
than jeopardize others. No news has
shocked our people aud brought forth so
genuine an expression of regret and SYM
ps tily for the bereaved as did the an
nouncement of Mr.. Maxwells untimely
death
His father and mother and family, ac-
companied by Mr.. and Mrs. j. r. Hughs,
left Monday morning for Raleigh to at
tend the funeral services, which were
held In that oity yesterday. In their
sorrow they have the sympathy of hosts
OF friends all over the State.
