THE TRUST BILL.

The Bowl Manning
substitute for the Loekhart anti
trust bill, which passed the Sen
ate last week, was adopted in
the House by a decisive majority,
and is now the law. Mr.. Koonce
of Onslow, offered the Texas law
as a substitute when the bill
came up for consideration in the
House and a majority of the
democratic members supported
it, but the twenty-seventrepubli-
cans voted in the negative and
the amendment was lost. Advo-
Gates of real anti trust legislation
contended that the Texas law
had been tested and proven
effective. Under it the Standard
Oil Company had been fined
81, 600, 600, which decision the
United States Supreme Court
sustained. Thus it will be seen
that this law would have reached
the evils which the democratic
party, in convention assembled,
pledged itself to destroy. But
instead a measure of doubtful
value, called by some, a Sub
.terfuge" still encumbers our
statute books.
The friends of the new law
.persistently claim that it fully
meets the platform declaration
and is the medicine needed to
put private monopolies out of
business in this State. Let US
hope that they are right. This
paper has had no choice in the
bills proposed, but wanted the
most effective one enacted into
law. 1t believed that the Lock-
hart bill fully complied with the
platform declaration, besides
getting under the hide" of the
trust now operating in North
Carolina. A majority of the
democratic members of the
General Assembly share in this
belief, but the solid republican
vote defeated it and passed a
bill of doubtful character yet
claimed by it's advocates to be a
real trust buster" We hope
their claims are we'll founded and
that the operation of this new
law will sustain the contention
they have been making concern
ing its effectiveness and the init
macy sustained by it to the anti
trust plank of the democratic
platform. Time will tell.

bill less acceptable to the advo-
Gates of child labor legislation
and then it was defeated, some
Senators saying that as the bill
had been changed they felt at
liberty to vote against the bills
though they felt bound to vote
for the bill as it came from the
House. Mr.. Long, of Person, a
large cotton manufacturer, said
on the floor of the Senate that,
while personally he would not
have favored any law, he felt
bound by the agreement to vote
for the law as it passed the

The General Assembly has
been conservative" bordering
on the limit" it's proceedings
showing not the remotest con-
tamination of "radicalism." The
members proceeded all the way
through, as if they were walk
ing on eggs" Evidently fright
ened, on account of the slump in
the democratic majority at the
last election, every precaution
against hurtful legislation has
been taken by a large proportion
of the majority members. It is
we'll to be cautious, but no brave
man ought to shrink from what
ever he thinks is right. The
world loves a fighter, (who does
not strike below the belt) and
hates a coward. The News and
Observer says that if the recent
Legislature has sinned at all, it's
chief sins are those of ommission
rather than commission. Let us
hope this conception of its work
may turn out to be- the correct
one.

The legislator who undertakes

The legislator who undertakes
to punish political opponents in
stead of representing the people,
usually ''gets it in the neck %
and deservedly so. No pet
schemes" ought to come in con-
tact with the wishes and interests
of the general public, and the
individual who persists in i'm
posing his personal views upon
an unwilling constituency has nc
just cause for complaint, if he
finally comes to grief. The PEG.
have a right to be heard and
their wishes are entitled to re-
spect- always. The good ole
democratic doctrine "Equa.

RAMBLING REMARKS
By G. 0. Blake

Readers OF this paper know
from things have heretofore
written under this heading that |
am somewhat of an iconoclast in
matters political and theologi
cal. and will understand that the
editor OF the paper is not to be
held responsible. unless he
chooses, tor what is said in this
space which he permits me to
occupy.
IL requires some time to inter
es, the federal government in the
matter of reclaiming our arid ter
riiory. The east, which had al
ways received at the expense OF
the whole people all the benefit
of the omnibus steal cal cd The
River and Harbor Bill" opposed
IL, They of the east had no arid
territory to redeem. This oppo-
sition continued tor a time until
great light broke upon our
kings of finance" A reclama
tion bill was passed. Observe
its provisions: The land redeemed
shorld pay the cost of ITS redernp-
ton. no tax on those dear eastern
wards of Uucle Sam. Secretary
Garfield started 70 carry out its
provisions. The people soon
found that as the land could not
be taxed until water was turned
on that there would not be funds
on hand to build the bitches.
The people then said to Uncle
Sam: I'VE shall have to pay for
this work. so we will just d, the
work ourselves under your direc-
til n and you can & We us ccriih
Gates for our labor and credit il
ON what you charge us for the
water. That proposition look, d
all right to Secretary Garfield and
he said it was go. Some OF
the people over in the Uucom-
pahgre valley went to work in
earnest to insure the completion
of the bitches by the time the
Gunnison tunnel should be opened
and thus get the benefit immedi-
-atcly. But new secretary took
office and another great light
broke upon those same kings of
finance" Secretary Ballinger
discovered that this partnership
with the farmer was entirely with
out authority Of law. Uncle Sam
can have no partners. he must
build those bitches himsclf-and
he mustn't do It until he has the
money in hand to Lay for it
Well, since the money must come
from the land redeemed after its
redemption, it looks very much as
though there was no way to get
1t redeemed at all. Not so. Our
bcnehcent kings of finance" saw
way. Uncle Sam can just issue
his bonds and borrow the money.
Wasn't hat good of them1 OF
course the bonds will be PAID
no, not that-the lands redeemed
The newspaper., 1909-12-31

will pay interest on those bonds
unlil the work IS complete and
then enough to pay the principal,
but the principal will NO, be used
10 pay the bonds, not at all Our
kings OF finance have use for
those bonds in their business and
will have them kept for invest
men" and the whole people
will keep up the interest ever
after. OF course there is an en-
thusiastic sentiment in the east in
favor of helping out the reclama
ton projects by the bond system.
Oar good president says he favors
it and of course it will be done
Our currency system needs
fixing" anybody can see that.
Now that great statesman and
patriot. Senator Aldrich. has per.
fected a scheme which will fix"
It. A great central bank is to be
established which can regulate"
the money market. and-would
you think it-Uncle Sam can just
issue his bonds for 100000. 900
to back up this central bank. OF
course the people would have to
pay little interest on these bonds
ever after. but isn't il a wonderful
invcntion, What should we do
If our kind. thoughtful and r.
sourcelul friends. those kings of
finance" did not take care of our
"iutercsts?"
Ii occures to me that no peo
pie were ever more incompetent
to use the powers they have than
the American people. II is said
that a government is as good as
its people and guess that is
about the truth Certainly we
have no kick coming" so long as
we do not use the power we have
to make things 60 our way.
There arc several other thing,
which provoke remark, but
can't have the whole paper at one
time. SO shall have to wait until
more convenient" season. Pos
sibly shall have forgotten the
provocation by that time and you
will escape the remarks altogether.

TESTIMONY ALL IN.
The Jury Delighted That End of the
Trial is in Sight Give a Big
Cheer.

Nashville, Tenn. March 6.-After
a short session today both State and
defence closed in the case against Col.
D. B. Cooper, Robin J. Cooper and
John D. Sharpe for the murder Of
former Senator E. ". Carmack, and
the end of the famous trial is now in
sight. The case should be in the
jury $ l1allds by the end Of next week.
Capt. Fitzhugh, Of Memphis, will

lowed by Gen. William Washington
for THE defence. Gen. J. B. Garner
Will speak for the prosecution. Then
will come Gen. Meade and Judge An
derson, of the defence, while Attor-
rey General MeCan will make the
CLOSING argument. There have been
fourteen days of actual testimony,
but nearly five weeks were spent Sc
lecting the jury, so that the trial Is
nearing its seventh week.
The session today was very unlnter-
esting and little evidence was heard.
