Milton, Jan. 14.-The pruning
season for fruit trees has begun in
this vicinity, and hundreds of the
growers are now busy. This will be
followed by the first spraying for
Goblin moth. Spraying will be more
thoroughly done than ever before on
account of the good results of last
year. Large additions are being made
to many of the orchards. The vari-
cites of apples will be mostly the
standard sellers in the future, such as
Winesaps, Roman Beauties, Spitzen-
bergs, Grimes Golden and Premiums
Red.
Many of the people about here
will go to Walla Walla the latter part
of this week to attend the meeting
of the Northwest Horticultural asso-
citation, which meets there. Milton
will be we'll represented and there
will be a fine exhibit Of fruit there

THINKS ROOSEVELT ovERIDEAL
Judge Grosscup Says Americans Go
Too Far I'm Their Hero Worship.


Chicago, Jan. 13.-Peter s. Gross
cup Of the United States district
court, thinks that President Roose-
welt may be an "overideal."
In a speech at the 21st annual
banquet Of the Beta Theta Pi frater-
nifty at the Congress hotel, Judge
Grosscup said:
'I may not be sure but what Roos-
evelt is an over IDEAL We must not
go too far in ideals. We must not
overemphasize them at the expense
of the practical side of life. They
go hand in hand and accomplish
something more than dreams. Ideals
are often overdrawn and we may
carry them too far. 1t Is in this re-
spect that l refer to the president.
I'VE should not devote ourselves
in this commercial age to mere ideals
but should look further"

THE REPUBLICAN CAUCUS

The News and Observer denouness
as SILLY in the extreme, not 20 use a
stronger term" for the republican leg
islative caucus to put itself on record
as opposing the state receiving from
the railroads a certain sum of money
to be used in defraying the expenses
of the legislature and the costs of the
suits between the state and the rail-
loads on the rate question. There
is where the republican members of the
legislature were showing themselves
truer North Carolinfans and less po-
litical tricksters than The News and
Observer editor VINO tried to belittle
their action. We do not believe the
people of this state, without regard to
party, will endorse The action of the
governor in agreeing to accept money
from the railroads TO help defray the
expenses of the special session of the
legislature and the costs of the suits.
The governor has never denied that it
was his intention at one time to use
part of that fund TO defray the ex-
penses Of the extra session. On the
Other hand, it is said, he has on more
than one occasion expressed his de-
termination to use part Of that fund
for that purpose. This fact was set
out in his letter to the people which
accompanied his proclamation conven-
ing the legislature. If he has been
misunderstood let him give the full
correspondence. That will set him
Alright. With the lights before it we
think the action Of the republican leg
islative caucus was commendable.

LET'S HAVE THE CORREEPON-z
DENCEs- =


Because of conflicting statsments
which have been made asFt to the terms
of that clause of the compromise agree
n.ent between the governor and Ger
tain of the railroads OF the state in
reference to the proposed payment By
the railroads TO the state Of the sum
OF SIT 500, we suggest to the lesisla-
ture, if we may be pardoned for such
boldness, that that body. IN order to
settle the dispute beyond al contro-
versy, adopt joint resolution calling
on the governor for the correspondence
in full between the governor and the
states attorneys in the rate case on
the one hand and Of all the attor-
neys and the railroad officials on the
other. Let the governor be ask ed 10
lay before the legislature all letters he
or the states attorneys have written
on the subject to the railway officials
or attorneys and the replies that have
| been received. The making public OF
this correspondence would clear away
| the doubt as to what the proposition
| was which was originally made, sub
seQuently modified and finally accept
ed. We do not suppose the governor
or any one of the railroad officials
| would object to such correspondence
| being made public as it was all car
ried on in the interest of the state.
We are rather surprised that the gov
| ernor, considering recent developments
and the apparent misunderstanding oI
his attitude regarding the intended
use of this money to be paid by the
! railroads, has not rendered to the leg
| lslature and, through it, to the peo-
! ple of the state, a full statement of
! what actually occurred between him
/ ard his attorneys on the one side and
the railway officials and attorneys ON
the other in tie way of full publica-
ton of oil the correspondence.
! As the governor has not seen fit TO
turn on the light as to this matter We
think it is due to the people that the
legislature request him to make the
revelation. Surely, that the governor
has not done this already has been an
oversight on his part, and now that his
attention has been called to the mat
ter he will not hesitate to give his
people the desired information. He
could not object to such a resolution.
Even if he does object it is right the
people have TO demand of him Will
he refuse?

A PECULIAR POSITION.

That was peculiar position taken
by Mr.. Buxton in his speech in the
senate on Monday. He said that every
body knew that the legislature was in
session now TO correct a mistake
made by the legislature of 1907" The
irst correction, hs said, was made by
the state supreme curt and that the
legislature had met - maze the second
correction. He expressed the BELIEF
that the railroads could win the pend
ing suits, thereby admitting that in
his opinion the state was in the wrong;
at the same time he favored the state
receiving from the railroads the sum
states costs in those suits. The only
reason he could give for favoring the
payment by the railroads of the cost
Of these cases is that the railroads had
in their proposal of compromise"
agreed to make such payment to the
state. He does not even make the
excuse that the governor does-that the
railroads by taking the cases to the
federal court had put the state to ad-
ditional expense-but he wants the
state to take the money because the
railroads had offered to pay it in or
der to get better terms out of the state
This, we think, Is more censurable
than the position taken by the govern
or. He wanted to take money to help
the state out Of debt he claimed.
the railroads had forced on it. Mr.
Buxton admits the railroads were
right in their suits, but still wants
them to pay for getting relief he ad-
mits they are entitled to.

ture see the justness or their conten-
ton 1t is not right for the bill TO
provide that towns which have already
passed on the question of prohibition
be given the decision Of the ques-
ton as applicable to the other towns
in the state. There are only about
forty-six towns and cities In the state
in which there are saloons. All the
others have prohibition either by To-
cal vote or direct act Of the legisla-
ture Still the votars OF these towns
and all the rural districts where prohi-
bition is now in force by the Watts
law are TO pass at the ballot box On
the right of these few towns on the
question of saloons or prohibition.
There is no self-government N such
proceeding. Buncombe county voters
are to say whether Wilmington Is to
have saloons or no. and Wake county
people ar; to pass on the rights and
privileges of the people Of Salisbury
and Winston. If the term popular
election" on a question of this sort
means anything 1t means that the peo-
pie decide at the ballot box what the
conditions shall be in the whole ter
ritory in which the election Is held.
1t is absurd to call 1t choice Of the
Ieople-a species of self-government
when the voters in the ninet3-eight
counties pass upon the rights of the
citizens in twenty-3even counties. If
the election is to be popular one un-
der the democratic principle of self
government then the question submit
ted must be one affecting all the peo-
pie voting. To put 1t any other way
is farce and an absurdity.

Love Letters I'm . Tree.

In the hollow OF an old tree which
they chopped down in a field near
Richfeld, y. ]. yesterday, woTkmen
found two love letters. They were
written in June 1881 by a man and a
woman who planned to meet after
an exchange Of letters. There was
small opening in the tree about
seven feet from the ground. From this
opening the hollow. bored cut by
squirrels, ran clear to the ground. The
woodehoppers believe that the missives
fell or were dragged 10 the ground
after they had been deposited in the
.pcstoffice. alice and Jim were
probably in the habit OF leaving let
ters in the aperture, which cou'd be
taken out with the hand until Tie

A ONE SIDED PROPOSITION

What is sauce for the goose is
sauce for the gandeI" is a very old
saying, but it seems that there is an
exception to this rule as there is to all
others, and that exception is applica-
BILE to the prohibition election in this
state. AS we understand it, under the
terms of the proposed bill should the
state election go wet the status Of
dry towns brought about by previous
local option elections is not to be
changed and no matter how great
may be the majority N the state in
Guiding any of those dry towns, in
favor of saloons, still the Watts law
would prevail IN those towns and they
would remain dry. On the other
hand should the state vote be for the
The semi-weekly messenger., 1908-01-31

dry ticket, those towns now having
saloons, no matter how great the
majority in them, at the election, for
saloons would have 10 close their sa-
looms and become prohibition. In 9TH
er words the whole state is to vote on
the question as to whether few GER
tain towns now having saloons slall
be allowed to keep them, or shall be
forced, perhaps against tAe will OF
their people, to close them. If we are
to have the question Of state prohibl-
ton decided by the vote of the peo-
pie of the state. let it apply to the
whole state and not to isolated local
tiles which have not adopted prohibi-
ton under the loca: option Law. IT,
proposed act is one Of the game heads
win, tails you loose" If it is to be
a state vote on the question Of prohi-
bition let it be a vote on the question
OF prohibition or saloons for
the whole state That is moth
ing but fair. The other is
almost as undemocratic as the prop
osition of prohibition by act of the leg
islature.

IN FAVOR OF LOCAL. OPTION

Christian Fndcavor Union Sends Let
tiers TO Legislators.
The Maryland Christian EndeavoE
Union has declared in favor OF the gen.
eral local option bill which is beins
urged by the Anti-Saloon League be-
fore the legislature at ANNAPOLIS.
Through the chairman OF the state
temperance committee Mr. Charles r.
Woods, communications have been sent
to all the societies in the state urging
Upon them the necessity for decisive
action. The Christian Endeavor forces
number 275 societies, with a total
membership of 10000 young people.
In accordance with the resolutions
tee each society will send TO It's sena-
tor and delegate in the Legislature q
letter requesting him to vote In fav-
or Of the bill. A record of the vote
cast at Annapolis will be kept, and
those who vote against the bill will be
given to understand that they cannot
expect the support of the Christian
people of their community In any fur
ther political service for which they
may aspire.
The Christian Endeavor Union at
the state convention declared In favor
Of the total abolition OF the license
system, believing that absolute prohi-
bition is the best thing for the com
munity. At the same time the union
recognizes that this may not be alto
gether practical at this time, but the
right of each community TO decide this
question for itself should be accorded

Mr.. Bryan wants it to be understood
that he will receive no advice from
party leaders as to his candidacy; that
he knows what the people want and
that he will be governed by their de-
sires. 1t looks like ne might have
gotten enough Of the peoples desires
as expressed at the polls IN 1896 ano
1900. If he thinks they are more ann
iCus for him now than they were on
those two occasions let him go ahead
and play the political dog in the man
ger. He will be taught the same les
son on election day in November next.
Maybe the third time will convince him
that he is wrong 1t Is said the third
time proves the rule, and we feel sure
that his third experiment will be more
emphatic in its reputation of him by
the people Than either Of the other
two.

A FARCICAL PROCEEDING

Yesterdays Charlotte Observer pub
fishes a special dispatch flom Winston
Salem which contains the followine
telegram sent by Mr.. M. d. Bailey, Jr
of that city to the Forsyth members
of the legislature:
Business interests here condemn
prohibition bill as an act of coward
ice and for political ambition purely
They contend that if 95 PER cent. of
North Carolina has already voted
dry it is unfair to allow them to par
ticipate In election; that il is like try
ing a case before a packed jury. They
think further that is the opportunity
that Charlotte and Greensboro have
. been waiting for on account of jeal-
ousy of our prosperity. IF this theory
is made law, it will inJure interests
p here very materially. Try and get an
amendment in to allow only wec
towns to vote on prohibition.

position and it is the same as that
