Lessons Taught by the Business

Concord Tribune.
The business depression through
which we have been passing has
proven ours a substantial country
and ours Il people of strength and
character. We havei ibeen taught
lessons, and our people and our
wonderful resources will early re-
establish Us on most permanent
basis. Through this so-caled de-
preston our people have stood up
we'll. Business has been dull, but
employment has been pretty general
and the foundation of our prosperity
has been mistaken. We are in fine
form to 60 forward and with a re-
vival of business and splendid har-
vest We will soon forget troubles that
are but for a day. Our condition
today argues much for the land in
i'll which we live and for the character
OF our people.

The predicament of the editor of
the Industrial News with reference to
the candidacy OF Mr.. j. Elwood Cox.
as set forth in n news article in the
Landmark today, illustrates the
troubles of the editor of party
organ The editor of the Industrial
News was SO much opposed to Mr..
Cox-because, it is said, the High
Point citizen didn't put up as much
money for the paper as the editor
thought he shoud-that he refused
to print communications favorable
to his nomination for Governor,
written by stockholders of the paper.
Furthermore. the editor is declared
to have put it sin black and white
that if Mr.. Cox was nominated he
would not only not support him but
would vote for Mr. kitchin. But the
supporters of Mr.. Cox had enough
influence to make the editor change
his mind.
During and since the Democratic
gubernatOrial contest, the News edi-
tor has written much about the
subserviency of certain Democratic
newspapers and has taunted them
with ''eating crow" The News edi-
tor having consumed a large dish oil
crow last week is now in position to
see how it tastes.

Not Calculated to Increase Public
Respect for Him.

Statesviie Landmark
If this paper were a thick-and-thin
partisan, allowing itself to see only
one side OF most public questions, it
would denounce Mr.. Taft severely for
laying his speech of acceptance before
Mr.. Roosevelt. 1t would declare him
guilty of rank subseryiency and syc-
ophancy. Not being thus resolutely
blind, however, it feels bound to rec
ognize that under the circumstances
consultation between these gentle
men was eminently proper; and it
positively admires the always frank
sometimes clumsily frank-Mr.
TAFT for his downright honesty in
personally making the trip with an
nounced intention instead of using
the mails ora go Observation-Disclosures
Observer.
1t is not unusual for men who have
to make important utterances to
submit their remarks in advance to
friends in whose Judgment they have
confidence. Ordinarily, therefore,
there is nothing improper in Mr..
Taft's asking MIR. Roosevelt's iudg-
ment on his speech OF acceptance.
But in view of the fact that Mr.. Taft
is Mr.. ose7elt's candidate, his
nomination being forced by the
President, this additional evidence
OF the candidates subserviency to
! his creator is not calculated to in
crease public respect for him. While
Mr.. Taft's candor is to be admired
we can't say that it was best under
| the circumstances.

A CONGRESSMAN WHO Is EARN
ING HIS SALARY.

The following editorial from the
Asheville Gazette-NeWs of Monday is
printed with pleasure, because the
commentator ofCongressman Small
is we'll deserved:
Weldon express, perhaps, as often
and emphatically as we should, our
admiration of Hon. John IL. Small,
representative in Congress from the
First district of North Carolina; con-
sidering the amount of admiration
we feel for that gentleman. We take
pleasure in presenting all appraisal
of Mr.. Small-who has recently been
re-nominated by the Democrats OF his
district-which appears in the Aug
ust issue of the National Magazine.
The article in question which has
reference to Mr.. Small's efforts in
promoting the Inland Waterways
scheme. will be found Oh the first
page of the GOLD LEAF this week.
Continuing our contemporary says:
1t is n vast project, gigantic ell
terprise. Others have helped the Tor
mitive work, one way and another;
but Mr.. Small has led, he has persist
emily attacked the task: never los
ing sight OF the great difficulties, he
has held up constantly to view the
greater rewards: and when the III
land waterway is completed, AS it
will be. sooner or later, it will be
largely Il monument to John II.
Small.
Here is a man who has dared to
take seriously his obligation to the
nation; a broad view OF his duty to
his constituency, to his State, and tC
the whole people. We hear OF him
from time to time, in connection
with the routine duties as a Con
gresham and party man. Because
| he is engaged in great work, there
| is no intimation that he has neglect
| ed minor affairs. But in the seeth-
inc sort of politics now and fOryeari
past i'll vogue, we see no mention o
| his name. We do not know that ne
| has ever threatened to destroy any
thing. or put anybody in Jail. We
| do not know whether he has ever de
voted a lick of work to saving the
cOuntrv-it is Just possible that Mr.
| Small is not aware that the country
is about to be lost.
But he has been working out I
| plan for Il vast economy III water
freightage, vast precaution in cast
OF war, a great saving OF the lives o
those who go down to the sea II
ships. An estimated yearly saving
of 5000, 900 is part of this plan

AFTER THE BAD DEBTORS.

The Greensboro RecOIM says the
local Merchants Association is i'll a
fair way to make things lively
around that town. They are after
the bad debtors-the deadbeats
who make store accounts which they
will not pay. \ credit book has been
issued by the Association giving
each person a rating. But it does
not stop at this. Says the RecOrd:
Last week Il member of the Mer-
chants Association was talking with
one OF the ministers of the town
about the matter OF debt paying
and the situation among the local
merchants. 1t seems that some OF
the ministers discussed the matter
among themselves, and as Il cOnse-
quence, not paying just debt was
made the subject OF remark in at least
two pulpits Sunday. IN the morning
DR.. DetWiler, at West iarket church,
referred to the matter uSt before his
sermon and woke up some of the
brethren At the ) o'clock service at
Grace NJ. p. church, the pastor. Rev.
II. j. Ogburn, is said to have taken
the hide along with the hair on the
question of not paying ones debts.
This is a deplOrable situation. 1t is
said that the Merchants Association
has due it some $40, 900 in Green's
bOrO, most o. which it is impossi-
bile to collect. = = All over the
country are living people who dress
in the most costly garments, out of
whom not Il cent can be collected by
law But this is not the meanest
part of it. 1t is II well known fact
that such people use all manner OF
devices for obtaining credit; some of
them even 90 SO lar as to have goods
sent home for examination and keep
them. Things are getting serious
and quite likely the merchants will in
some way make it warm for those
who persistently refuse to pay their
lust debts

No country has the monopoly of

the stock and blood of course. There
may be more III the hidden influence
of the sense of personal freedom and
liberty and the Unborn dignity that
comes to Il people from a sense of
participation i'll its own government

is confirmed by the fact that the Irish,

check the determination to excel.

the great Marathon race over more
than fifty competitors, the hOnors of
the day prOperl Y went to the Italian
who fell helpless and exhausted with
IN 800 yards of the finish. Some
thing more than mere physical
strength is required to carry man
through ali ordeal like that. There
is need for courage OF the very ,high-
est kind, because when the breath
comes short and each gasp is new
agony and the reluctant limb aud
strained and aching muscles must be
driven TO their work by moral force,
when thousand voices from every
nerve clamor mistakenly for rest and
surrender and the brain is beset by a
legion of devils of cOwardice and
and weakness Offering excuses and
arguments for yielding, the man
must be a man indeed to drive him
self right on to his goal.
The Italian fell Just Il little short
OF the muscular and lung power and
the good Judgment which carried the
American to victory, but ne is an
honor to his country and his race
nevertheless, and his deed gives
cheering assurance that, however the
Latin races may lag just now, they
possess many individual instances o.
the qualities that triumphed al

THEY STOPPED THE PAPER.

The Carthage News SO offended
couple of it's readers that they stop
ped the paper-had it discontinued
to their address. But one OF them
did not have the manliness to notify
the editor himself but resorted to the
mean practice of refusing to take the
paper out of the postotfice and nave
the postmaster do the notifying
Needless to say that man owed Tor
the paper and didn't send the money
to pay for it when he stopped 1t. In
referring to the loss (?) sustained by
having to drop these two names
from it's subscription list, the News
says:
We part company with these gen
tlemen with reluctance, for they nave

this paper; in fact, one OF them was
such a good friend that he received
the paper about three years without
paying anything for it. (He was the

a most effective way to getit stopped,
and possessed the additional advan-
ta"e of being freed. h.--thus saving
our friend at least one cent. Look
ing at the matter from an economl-
cal point of view, he is certainly JUS
tilted. because one hundred cents
make a dollar, and a dollar saved is
a dollar made, therefore we freely
forgive him.
Some people have an exalted idea

well being OF a newspaper. For IN

paper, it is surprising to them that
it does not at once suspend publica-
ton. But iii this they ere mistaken
