Our Illogical Tariff System.

The object of a tariff is to make
work for workingmen. Otherwise they
would not have it. This is based upon
the fallacy that it is work men want
instead of the results. Men want the
results. Since they cannot get results
without work, they work, for wealth
they must have or die, and wealth is
produced by work and work only. But
they try to minimize the work in every
way possible by the use of machinery.
which shows that they really want
the results, and not the work itself.
If they import a million dollars worth
of goods from abroad, they just have
to do one million dollars worth of
work to pay for them. If they don't
they will not get the goods.
The object of protective tariff is
to employ American wealth and de-
velop American resources. And yet in
nearly every county in this country
we have in operation system OF local
taxation which is contradiction of
the tariff idea, even if it were sound,
which it is not. The holding of these
self-same resources out of use is en-
couraged by low taxes, and the en-
ployment of labor is discouraged by
high taxes upon improvements. The
whole system is one vast inconsist-
ency; it is illogical, incoherent and
ridiculous. The man who wants us
to keep all our work at home would
be in sorry plight indeed if his doc
trine were applied to himself in prac-
tice. 1t would build wall around his
country, his State, his country, his
township, and even around hiself. He
would, if he applied his fantastic doc
trine, make his own food, clothes and
shelter, cut his own hair, attend his
own birth, bring himself up, educate
himself, live alone, die unattended, GO
to his own funeral make his own coffin
and dig his own grave. If the indi-
vidual prospers with free trade, the
freer the better, so would the aggre-
gate of individuals that we call ma
tion.-Phila. Record Correspondent.

PROCRASTINATION.

The wise maxim is Never put off
until tomorrow what can be done to-
day" But there are many persons
who act exactly the opposite. Their
maxim is Never do today what can
be put off until tomorrow" And so
they are always behind. The habit
of punctuality and promptness is a
most important characteristic in any
one, and especially in business men.
Washington said to his secretary, who
was in the habit of coming to his work
late, and explaining it by saying that
his watch was slow, "You will either
have to get new watch or I will
have to get new secretary"

GOOD ROADS.

The good roads commission has been
visiting a number Of sections of the
state to look over the situation, with
the view of locating the roads upon
which the $5,OoO,00O appropriation of
the last legislature, for Good Roads,
1t is fhte most important work upon
which the state has entered in many
years, and it will tax the commission
ers to the utmost to properly locate
these roads and carry on the work.
We are sure the commissioners desire
to know, as far as possible, the wishes
of the people in the respective local
tiles. To this end the people should
hold meetings and express themselves
fully upon the subject.
In many instances, we are sure il

to state your case and let the com.
mission know what you think about it
For if even your wishes are not graft

in the work.
A meeting has been called by mum

at o'clock, at Odd Fellows Hall

When one stops to consider that no
part of the world rivals the Philippines
in the production of hemp, that the
soil is phenomenally rich and will
grow sugar, rice, coffee, tobacco, and
all sorts of fruits in abundance, that
the climate is excellent, and that there
are vast mineral resources which have
never been touched,it is apparent that,
islands or not, they are not worthless,
as is being SO generally said. Treat
them as we treat Porto Rico in re-
gard to the tariff, build railroads,
and send them capital, and in FIVE
years we will have commerce that
will open the eyes of those who,
without investigation, are insisting

Determination characterized the fea-
lures Of every man present at the mass
meeting at the opera house last night.
All realized that now was a critical
period in the history Of the city, and
not an opposing voice was heard upon
the proposition that confronted the
people.
The meeting was called to order by
Vice President E. L. Dawson Of the
Commercial club. The purpose Of the
meeting was stated and Major Angle
Of New York explained the situation
in regard to financing the street car
line He explained that his people
could not provide the necessary capital
for the street railway unless they were
allowed to finance the interurban from
here to Sulphur AS to this he was
unable to make any report as no sur
vey had been made He stated can
didly that so far as he hfd seen his
recommendations would be favorable
but that something tangible woulC
have to be before him before he coulC
report upon the interurban.
Engineer Colby stated that it woull
take about $500 to make the desired
survey
Ben F. Johnson spoke enthusiastic
ally in favor Of making the survey, dc
claring that even if the line was no
built at this time that the survey woul
be a valuable asset to the city an
could be used to a great advantage a
some future time.
Mayor Bridges stated that the conf
Gil would hold an adjourned sessio
Immediately after the mass meetin
closed and that he would recommen

money had been raised for the surve
that there would be no objections t

CLOSE SAM
COOKS PLACE
COUNTY ATTORNEX GETS lNJUNG-
TION FROM JUDGE BAILEY
CALLS IT NUISANCE

Upon petition of County Attorney
Barefoot backed up by affidavlts,
Judge Bailey this morning issued an
order requiring the sheriff to close up
Sam Cooks place, enjoining Cook from
selling intoxicants at the place and
also enjoining the owners Of the build
ing from leasing it for the purpose.
The injunction is temporary and ap-
plies only to the first story of the
building, wherein it is alleged in the
petition that liquor has been sold and
that the arrangement Of fixtures and
bells, cts, is such as to make the en-
forcement Of the law difficult, the
whole constituting a nuisance.
The order was granted this morning
and it was expected that the sheriff
would get back in time to put the
lock on Cooks doors this afternoon.

High School

The school board held two meetings
Yesterday, the subject under discus
sion being the selection of plans for
the new high school building. No
agreement was reached, final action
being passed over till a subsequent
meeting.
At ten o'clock Monday morning the
board will meet to open bids on the
sale Of the bonds to the amount Of
100000. While some technical diff
ficulues may rise, the prospects for
the sale Of the bonds are now good.
When asked what action the board
had taken in regard ia the building
program, Secretary Tatman replied.
About all / can say is that we have
decided to 60 very slowly and move
cautiously We don't want to make
any mistakes"
President Carmichael said 1t seem
ed to be the opinion Of the board that
the building Of additions to the old
buildings is impractical we have
under consideration a plan for s60,-
600 building, said he. This would
contain rooms for the high schools
and seven rooms for the lower grades.
It would give us one of the handsom-
est school buildings in the state and
we would have ample funds left to re-
pair and equip the old buildings. No
thing definite, however, has yet been
decided upon, these plans being only
tentative"
II central location can be secured,
SO that it will be convenient for the
lower grade children. it is likely that
the above plan will be adopted.
