Secretary Dickinson on MIR. Taft.
Fran vile (Va) Herald.

FramviIe (Va) Herald.
In speaking recently about Presi-
dent Taft and his policies, Secretary
Dickinson said:
''It is fortunate that the leader of
the party now in control Of our M
tiOnal affairs is earnestly and warmly
sympathetic with US and understands
our convictions and the reasons for
them. He appreciates the extent of
the agitation that has come from ap-
pointing negroes to offices in the
South. He understands that there
is "A broad. deep seated race question
which cannot be ignored or argued
out OF existence, and that for the
peace OF both races. it is the part of
wisdom that such appointments
should not be made
"President Taft has gone further
than any Republican President to
meet the wishes Of the South in es-
tablishing a policy looking to the
promotion of peace within her bor-
ders Itwould be a calamity if his eff
forts should be nullifed, and his good
will alienated.
"No question Of the South giving
him political support is involved. The
South can cooperate with him in his
great work of Cancellation and pro-
noting peace and harmony, and yet
cast every one Of its electoral votes
against him it he should become a
candidate for reelection"
Al. l.
ocrat(?) in face of the fact that Mr..
Taft opposes "restricted suffrage" in
the South. Away with such bOsh.

Negro Education in North Carolina.
Raleigh State Democrat,

halelSh state democrat,
At an educa tiOnal meeting in At
lanta, Prof c. L. Coon, of Wilson,
read n paper purporting to show
that so far from the negroes receiving
more than his share Of public school
fund he was in reality receiving less
In North Carolina. he claimed the ne
gro's share would have been $429,-
1917, whereas he received, so far AS
Mr.. Coon could make out. only $4O2,-
65S. In counting the negro portion,
Mr.. Coon assigned him part of the
taxes paid not by individuals, but by
railroads and other corporations.
Superintendent Joyner SAYS Mr..
Coon's figures are not correct, SO far
as this State is concerned, that the
negroes received from the public
school fund about $4,000 and
paid into it. at the highest estimate,
about $26O,OOO; that the actual
amount paid by negroes was much
lower since most of the insolvents
belong to this race. As to a portion
OF the corporation tax belonging to
the negro We may say that is only a
specious argument. No negroes own
much stock in corporations; it is the
whites who own them and whose in
dustry and enterprise support them.
Hence the argument based on tli-
vision OF taxes from corpora ion~
between the races according to pop
ula'ion is not very honest.

Mr.. Barton W. Currie, of the New

he had spent the day at st. Paul's

messages to affect Cooks home com
ing statement. He knew Of the elab-
crate preparations for his entertain
nent and yet sent no message. The
people who had arranged to do him
honor were in no pleasant mood. The
principal evening paper of Sidney
prints IL statement from three Cape
Bretoners who were twice in the Arc
tic with Cook and once with Pear.y
in answer to the question: (which OF
the two do you consider the more
competent MANI" Here is the an
swer:
'1n II way they are not compar-
able. Both are equal to anything
that can b. done by man on polar
ice. Both have pluck. endurance
and the stamina to resist the uwful
depression of Northern sOlitudes. But
in disposition and temperament the
two men are entirely dissimilar.
Cook is genial and Open-hearted un-
der ali conditions. He is always the
same, affable. genial and untiring.
Peary is more reserved and carries
the habit of discipline and conquest
with him. When we were with him
we could not take picture. converse
with the natives, or pick up walrus
tooth without his permission. In
his mind he owned the road to the
Pole; he appeared to own the ma
tives, the dogs, the game; the whole
horizon was his and all FOR his own

Peary's surly conduct bears out
the last statement that he thinks he
owns "the road to the Pole and
''the whole horizon" and "all for his
own glory"

The Farmer Boys Life.
Superintendent Blair OF Illinois.

Superintendent Blair OF Illinois.
Who ia that sees yearly the mir
acle of sunshine and air and water
changing into corn and wheat and
grass and clover? The farmer boy.
Who watches with his own eyes the
mystery of life as it unfolds and
breaks forth from the egg in the
nest? Who is that each spring and
summer beholds the wonderful story
of creation acted out by Nature her
self? The earth bringing forth grass,
the herb yielding seed, and the fruit
tree yielding fruit after it's kind; and
every living creature, the fowl OF the
air, the cattle and creeping things,
and the beasts of earth bringing
forth after it's kind? Who sees it all
and dimly comprehends it all? The
farmer boy. Who hears the call OF
the wild and tame alike and knows
them? Who knows where the turkey
hides her nest and the rabbit rears
her young? Who knows the smell of
the fresh earth and new mOwn hay?
Who feels the touch Of the morning
dew and catches the first breath OF
the east wind? The farmer boy.
Whose cheek shows brown from the
sun and wind? Whose hands and
feet Jingle with the Joy OF being and
doing? Whose time from sun to sun
is filed with fruitful, healthful, Joy
full labor? Whose muscles grow tired
in open air and under the blue sky?
Whose appetite is ever keen and
large and robust? Whose sleep is
sweet and deep and refreshing? The
farmer boys.
Blessed Of all boys is he whose
work is SO joyful that it seems like
play and whose play is SO useful that
it seems like work. Our congratula-
tions and blessings upon you.
But now the big school OF barn

May the big school and little school
be brought SO close together that
the lessons learned in one may help
you live the life and do the work of
the other. May the years in the little
school enlarge your appreciation
OF and deepen your love for the work
of the farm. May it add to the
country life a charm and power "to

farmer boys. May it help preserve
and keep sweet the wholesome life OF
the farm home. And may it ever do
it's part in preparing for that home
and that farm an ever better, health

WADE & COMPANY
NEW EDITION HAND BOOK ISSUE

The eigth annual edition of the
Copper Handbook, just issued by the
author, Horace J. Stevens of Hough-
ton, Mich. is at hand. 1t is an octave
volume of 1900 pages, in BREWER
type, but by slight increase in the
width and height of the printed mat
ter on each page, together with a
reduction in the leading, but with
out using as mailer face of type,
each page carries one-third more
matter than formerly, and the new
edition with 1900 pages, contains
one-half more matter than the pre-
ceding editions, which had 1928
pages.
The principal chapter of the book,
devoted to detailed descriptions of
the copper mines of the globe has
1185 pages, describing no less than
6767 copper mines and copper COM
panies in all parts of the world, COM
pairing with Apt listed in the pre-
ceeding editions. This long chapter,
which was unrevised in volume VII,
owing to fire, accident and illness,
has been completely rewritten even
the obituaries of the defunct COM
uanies having been improved by the
addition of neat verbal tombstones.
The price of the copper handbook
is So, in a strong green buckram
binding, and the selling plan is
unique, as the book is sent to any
one ordering it, from n part of the
globe, without a penny in advance,
the purchaser preparing carriags
charges and allowing the purchaser
a weeks inspection, and accepting
the return of the book in settlement
of the charge, If upon inspection. it
does not prove satisfactory. That
this plan is successful is proven by
the fact that it has been followed
for six consecutive years and that
the Copper Handbook now circulates
in every country that has a postage
stamp of it's own, and is claimed by
the publisher, without recorded con-
tradiction, to enjoy the largest cir
culation of any mining annual print
ed in any language. Anyone In
tersted in copper, or copper shares

Charges Theft
OF Horse in
East Ely
Unless a settlement is made

Unless a settlement is made is
morning, suit is promised by
P. Rumbaugh. transferman of East
Ely, to recover a horse which is now
supposedly in the possession of either
J. Fl. or H. A. Fulmer. Besides the
action for recovery of the horse,
Rumbaugh will include a claim for
damages, accrued through lsos OF
time and offense to his dignity.
According to the statement of the
affair given out last night, the u
mers %conspired to send Rumbaugh to
see a horse at the Townsite stable.
The animal was alleged to be IN the
match for a horse which Rumbaugh
uses on one of his wagons. FL. A.
Fulmer, by way of speeding the de-
parture of Rumbaugh, expressed
thought of buying the horse in ques-
ton and said that he would go look
at it at once but for the fact that
his time just then was engaged.
Rumbaugh inquired at the stable
about the arrival and was shown into
a box stall, where an 8 ounce rubber
horse occupied the middle of the
floor. Somewhat taken back but not
entirely knocked out, Rumbaugh
opened negotiations which ended in
his buying the horse, which he took
to the Fulmer building and tied it
with an improvised halter to a ring
in the sidewalk. He then reported
to the Ant1er bar, where he asserts
that J. Fl. Fulmer held him in conf
v~ersation while H. A. Fulmer, con
spring with him, went outside and
confiscated the horse and halter. III
is therefore that Rumbaugh VANITY
restitution of his property.
The damages claimed, If collected, I
will apply to offsetting in part the
bill that the transferman paid over
the Antler bar after securing the
horse, in an effort to make the deal
look alright to a considerable crowd
that had become interested in it.
