YES, WE SHOULD THINK OF IT

Charlotte Observer.
People complain OF the unreasonable
winter, talk of being oppressed by their
f1anneis and their outer chothing, and
wish for change OF weather and a
touch of winter. They should, instead
think of the beneficence OF the winter
to the poor, who have not had to en-
dure its customary visitations of suf-
faring, and of those who are above the
level of pure poverty, but to whom
every dollar saved from wood, coal and
extra clothing is an object. To these
classes God has been peculiarly good
this season.

TEE GOFEREOR'.S MESSAGE.

Governor Gleen swept by the custom
in North Carolina, and following tbs
lead Of Governors in some other States,
read his message in person before the
General Assembly last week. He gave
coed reasons for wishing to do so, ore
of them heing that he wished to en-
ph&sIzs eo5ne things more than others,
and he thought he could do this better
with his own voice than he could
thorugh TIC reading OF another.
The message was clear and strong
and showed that the Governor has
studied we'll the conditions in North
Carolina 2nd feels the deepest interest
IN the wel=are OF this great State TOR
which he is making such noble chief
executive.
The first subject discussed in TIE
message was taxation and ON this it
rings clear in advocating a stricte- rule
IN !istlng and yalulng property. 1t is
pointed out that the assessed valuation
OF property in North Carolina is less
than five hundred million OF dollars
but the Governor makes bold to say
that IT ''parsonal property were fairly
given in, and rsaIty justly assessed and
railroads and other corporations Justly
taxed" the actual value of the States
property would be billion dollars
which would enable us to have much
lower rate Of taxation and yet give III
revenue sufficient to meet all the needs
of the State.
AS this paper has said before, i
property were properly listed and as
seseed and the taxes closely collected
there would be little or no need O
public Indebtedness in North Carolina
and il the suggestions ON this subjec
In Governor Glenn's message are heed
ed aDd put into practice it will prov
one OF the wisest and best utterance
in the able paper which lie read to th
General Assembly.
Other things which Governor Glee
discussed We can rot review now, bu
from time TO time hereafter.

R4JLROADSAND NEWSPAPERS,

The newspapers of North Carolina
are known 10 be the faithful and per-
sistent defenders Of the peoples rights.
They stand ior the best government,
and in the favorite pbraseology of the
times, they stand tor square deal to
every man and every interest. And
as touching the railroads they ale
ready to commend tor things commed-
abe and equally as ready to censure
for things censurable.
In the proposed legislation by the
General Assembly Of North Carolina
in matters OF railroad fares and passes
there seems to be an indication that
the newspapers may be Disseminated
against.
Heretofore, the railroads have hac
the privilege Of making advertising
contracts with newspapers, giving sc
much mileage transportation for sc
much advertising, which Is legitimate
and right; and when a newspaper edi
tor pavs his fare over a railroad witt
which be has contracted to do GER
y,,1 fo1s ,o, 7o1
mileage, hG is not riding on a "fret
pass" but is paying full fare as mucf
az the man Who buys ticket with 1
gold dollar,
And whatever legislation may be en-
acted which will restrict the railroad
in the issuing of free passes, shoul'
not 2pply to newspapers.
The newspapers and the railroad
ought to be considered capable OF max
ing their own contracts; and if th
railroads see proper to barter transpo,
ta.i0n for advertising space which
newspar,H has Tor sale, there should b
nc hlnGr~.ic8 against it. A merchan
oas cal;c q sell and the good countr
tousewis4 has eggs to sell. VII
should &" that the merchant sha
not give ne good housewife calico al
take her e@Ss ior pay?
No nlo3c should railroad be hil
dered from is+uing to newspaper ed
TOR ticket for transportation (not
Gree nass') and take for it advertiser
space III the editors paper.
TO prohibit this is to put a chec
2lnon the fret law Of barter in tra(
and commerce.

TAKE THEM OUT
Or Feed Them Food They Can Study
On.

When a student begins to break
down from lack of the right kind OF
food, there are only two things to- do;
either take him out of school or feed
him properly on food that will rebuild
the brain and nerve cells. That food
is Grape-Nuts.
A boy writes from Jamestown, N. Y,
saying:."A short time ago I got into
a bad condition from overstudy, but
Mother having heard about Grape
Nuts food began to feed me on it. 1t
satisfied my hunger better than any
other food, and the results were mar
velous. l got feshy like a good fell

disappeared, and ! found l could
