TAKING BUSINESS OUT OF
POLITICS

We should incline more strong
~ to that provision of the Al
orlch bill which looks to the al-
polntment of a permanent tariff
commission, (for the present it
Is only to gather information)
were 1t not for some experiences
we have had with the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
There are, we believe, about
four thousand items in the tariff
scned0les, and few of the men,
bers of Congress, other than the
committee having the bill in
charge, can know much about it.
Aiarlch, SmoOt and Payne, Aldrich
beng the master workman, have
framed the present bill. and al
most any commission which
might be named, so far as the
interests of the consumer go,
would be an improvement on this
trio.

INTOLERANCE

Intolerance is generally due to
ignorance or prejudice, or both.
1T sees, if at all, with defective
vision, and that which does not
square with it's ideas of rectang-
ularity is i'll formed, misshapen. It
has its most robust development
in politics and religion, or more
accurately in sectarianism, the
sectarian bigot believing that all
who do not accept his "doxy"
will go to He'll, and ought to go
there for differing with him,
whereas the fact that he HIM
self will almost certainly fetch
up in that land of extreme tor
ridity, but no moisture, is a most
excellent reason, if others were
wanting, why the more catholic
person should veer off from it.
The political bigot suspects the
motives of all who do not agree
with him in his particular, and
some times peculiar, notions, and
thinks that argument can be and
ought to be met with denuncia-
ton.
Bigots, sectarian or political,
in this enlightened age, are at a
great discount, and if the entire
stock of them should be gathered
together, brushed up, nicely tag
ged, they could not be disposed
Of to any profit. either as jot
lot or left overs"

A REFUSAL, A CORREC-
TON, AN EXPLANATION.

The locum tenenS may not get
into any controversy with the
Scottish Chief, or with any other,
for the short period he has con-
troll of this paper, which termi-
mates with this issue. To do so
would be like borrowing anoth-
er's Sunday o-to-meetings, and
going out and wrestling in them.
But when the editor of that
paper concludes that we are mot
altogether a farmers boy and
that we often play with the
practical business interests, "
something needs to be said.
Who told him we were not a
farmers boy? We were born in
Blue Springs township, Robson
County, on a farm in the woods,
were early impressed with the
bucolic spirit, having been sat
down on at the age of two months
by Squire Duncan B. McLauch-
lin, have been sat upon a few
times since, but thanks to our
elasticity, or rubber like resil-
iency, generally spring back into
proper position and proportion.
We know crab grass from Der
muddy" a bull-tongue from a boy
dixie pillow, have had some prac-
teal experience in farming, can
easily make two blades of grass
where one grew before, if it be not
on a lawn, and find our chief diff
ficulty in the perversity of plant
life, our corn crop showing a de.
cided tendency for lawning, anC
our lawn developing some corn,
a few peas, many wild ''in
germs" and much "pusly." Il
this does not put US in the same
class Of farmers boys" as TIL,
Chief, we should like to know
the reason why.
. When, pray, did the editor O.
The Chief become such an agri
culturist anyhow? We dare sa,
that the only hoe he was eve
behind was a Hoes press" ant
that he never got in dangerous
proximity to that when it was il
violent action.
Often plays with the prac
teal business interests" Thi,
was hardly said like Highland
Chieftain, for we count then
all, this one at Maxton, too, ou
friends. But let that pass, TO,
we feel sure our friend did no
mean it as itMIGHT be construed
No, if the practical business.
interests" wish our services il
legitimate effort, and will pay
for them, they get them, just a.
all others do there is no "play
ing" about it. We play with
children, those little pansies anc
Violets of human life, and with
those other creatures made b,
God, to whom articulate speech
has been denied, and to whom
the play, the gambol, is the We
hicle for the transference of love
given and received.

Some relaxation for the boys,
young men, and older men, too, is
helpful, necessary. If the inno-
cent pleasures are not permitted,
and provided for, the danger, al
most a certainty is that they will
go off into hurtful indulgences.
