Blames it on the Women.

A Chicago professor, according to
an exchange, blames women for much
of LIES evils, claiming that the fair
sex are extravagant and unscrupu-
lous. Hear him:
"WOmen always were, are now and
probably will remain extravaganza,
socially ambitious, INSCRIPTIONS,
and generally responsible for large
part of the evils of life," said Prot.
Herbert L. Willett of the University
of Chicago Divinity School in a lee
ture on ''The Social Teachings of the
Prophets.
'"The moral levels OF a nation can
never rise higher than it's woman
hood" said Professor Willett. cit
was truein times of Amos and Hosea
and it is true today. Many of the
evils of society have been and are due
to the social aspirations and extrav-
agance of women.
Gin the times of Amos the women
were willing to take money obtained
by bribery Bribery was one of the
commonest evils of the day. The
brides were used for luxuries for the
women. The women insisted on hav-
ing the luxuries. Amos denounced
luxury and extravaganza.
even today innocent and high
minded women drive the poor to
greater distress and rich to greater
recklessness by their ideals. They
must have money to carry forward
their social plans.
"Hosea's greatest contribution to
literature is his terrible diatribe
against afinities, which were COM
mon in his day. He was himself a
victim OF the affinity craze.
"Amos had a pure food law that
was rendered void by graft and brib-
cry: Women have not changed in
$500 years."

Tar Heel Democrats Get No Census
Jobs.
Beverly, Mass, dispatch, Sth.

Beverly, Mass, dispatch, Sth.
The President has fixed upon the
policy he will follow with reference to
census appointments from the South.
In the States which are solidly Dem
ocratic the President will divide the
appointments equally among the
Democrats and Republicans. He will
insist that the appointees shall not
be active partisans, however, but
capable men.
From the so-called "solid South"
the President has picked out North
Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky and
Missouri as debatable States and
will treat them on the same footing
as Northern States, giving all of the
census Jobs to Republicans. He will
insist, however, that in these States
the same standard of efficiency and
character of men shall obtain. The
States in which the division between
Democrats and Republicans will be
made are: Virginia, South Carolina,
Georgia. Florida, Alabama, Missis-
sippi, Arkansas, louisiana and
Texas

Charles M. Busbee.

OF Mr.. Charles Manley Busbee, the
eminent Odd Fellow, successful law
yer and peerless gentleman who died
at his home in Raleigh last week,
The State Democrat Gays: a
The death of such a man as G. n.
Busbee is a distinct and permanent
loss.
The writer was not on intimate
terms of acquaintance with him
only saw him and spoke with him
occasionally. And yet these Incl
dental relations did not fail to give
him distinctive opinion as to the
worth of the man. He would hardly
be classed as a man of a popular
turn, in the common acceptance of
the term. But his high character,
his Old-fashiOned sense of honesty,
his sensible and conservative posi-
ton on public matters, made for him
large number of friends, from the
choicest spirits with whom he came
in contact. About the time he
reached his best development as a
professional man, his health became
impaired, which fact circumscribed
his reputation for a learned and
forceful legal advocate. His meth
DDS of conducting his business were
not to be criticised, and younger men,
who are ambitious to live up to the
highest ethics of the profession, can
find no better pattern than C. NJ.
Busbee.
His position on public questions
was always liberal. conservative and
safe. A desire to do what was right
and to be useful to his fellow man
seemed to be the guiding principles
which actuated him in all his rela-
tions of work and of business. TAX
ing it all, and in all, it is doubtful If
the State has produced a better char
acter than C.. NJ. Busbee.

Gets Himself Deeper into Trouble.
Charlotte News.

Charlotte News
In the course OF statement issued
by Representive Cowles, we find this
paragraph, quoted from the Green's
boro Record:
Our Governor is not in sympathy
with us and in the last campaign he
was quoted in the newspapers as
having declared in a public speech
that Republican had as we'll deposit
his ballot in a rural free delivery box
as ballot box; that if they wished
their votes counted they had better
vote for him."
Any man with an atom of gray
matter knows that Gov. kitchin
made no such statement as that, un-
less in a joke. No one knows this
better than Cowles himself. 1t seems
that the young law-maker from the
Eighth District puts his foot in the
mire deeper with every step.

Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta Constitution.
Old Virginia, the stately "Mother
of Presidents" has sent to Washing
ton fine-wrought statues OF George
Washington and Robert E. Lee. Side
by side, they are to go into the ma
tional Hall of Fame, there to look
down during the decades upon the
children of the men who fought at
Yorktown and Kings Mountain, at
Bull Run and Gettysburg, in Santa
go Harbor and upon San Jaun Hill.
Regarding Washington, there had
been no misgiving. When Virginia
gave his name in nomination, the ma
ton hailed the choice as the only one
compatible with historic accuracy.
But the proposing of Lee brought IN
easy questionings. The final test OF
the reconciliation of the sections came
with the plan to place in the capitol
of the republic statue of the man,
after Jefferson Davis, most conspicu-
ously identified with the great move
ment that for time threatened the
dissolution of that republic.
Within few days, the two statues
will be unveiled, and this is how The
Baltimore Sun, very accurately, ex-
presses the sentiment of the country
concerning the right of Lee to rest
by the side of the first president:
Today throughout the North not
protest is heard against the acceptance
of the Lee statue by the government. In
stead of this, it is accepted with enthusi-
asm, as "erasing the last line OF the civil
war" Ever since Appomattox the fig
ure of Lee has been looming up larger
and larger with the years, until to-day,
he is recognized as one of the greatest
leaders of the English-speaking race. He
typifies all that was best of the old
South and is the inspiration of all that
is finest in the new. His great genius as
military commander is at last universal
ly acknowledged; but it has been eclipsed
by his personality as the knightliest man
of his time.
The estimate is just and final. We
need entertain no more apprehen-
sions respecting the solidarity of the
nation, the lasting obliteration of
ancient bitterness and whitening hat
red, when reunited country acclaims
with universal approval the signal
honoring of the man whose devoted
genius gave it the greatest hazard of
it's existence.
Here and there, of course, will ling
er the occasional spitespuer, the NOR
bid irreconcilable, on each side of
the Cline" His voice is drowned by
that mightier chorus that celebrates
the re-birth of nationality of spirit,
with all that means of expanding ho-
rizons for the future.
And it is POLITICALLY fitting that
Virginia, that gave to the nation it's
first president, should give also to
the nation the dramatic incident
that attests the ultimate reunion of
a great people-once devided.

The Right Spirit.
High Point Enterprise.

High Point Enterprise.
A crowd of North Carolina school
teachers assembled in the lobby OF
the Brown-Palace Hotel in Denver,
COL, the other day and "sang Caro-
lima with much fervor and applause.
That's the right spirit which will
push the Old North State into the
front rank of all the States. It needs
just that same spirit here at home to
start the wheels of factories all over
North Carolina which will transform
the raw material of dozens of articles
ofcommerce into the finished product
it needs just that same spirit to
crowd our seaports with American
vessels carrying this same finished
product into every port on the face
OF the globe. American ships mann
ed by American sailors-loaded with
American manufactures, that's what
we want and that's what we'll have
when the whole South is permeated
with the same spirit which sang
'Carolina'' in the far off Colorado
hotel lobby.

Dogs and Sheep Raising Won't Go
Together.
Greenville Reflector.

Now and Their some paper talks
about sheep raising in North Carroll
ma. The intention is all right, for
the subject is a good one, and sheep
raising would be profitable under
certain conditions. But you cannot
do much at this industry in a State
where dogs have as many privileges
thousands of NANCY dogs in this
State whose owners think more OF
them than of their own children. And
every legislator is afraid of the man
who owns dogs. Let dog killing
precede sheep raising if the latter is
to he made profitable.

Invention to Displace Pneumatic
Tires.
Stateseille Landmark.

Mr.. d. NJ Coiner, Of Statesville, has
invented a spring wheel-or a spring
for wheels-that is designed to dis
place pneumatic tires. Springs are
placed in wheel, radiating from the
hub and so arranged that they take
the place of pneumatic tires and will
give better service. The invention is
designed primarily for automobiles
but can be used on other vehicles.
Mr.. Coiner has applied for patent
and if his invention proves a success,
as he believes and his friends hope it
will, it will prove valuable one and
should bring Mr.. Conner large sum.

Will You Pay For Nitrogen or Get
1t Free.

Progressive Farmer.
1t is a question whether the farmer
will let nitrogen impoverish him or
make it help enrich him. Can any
one conceive OF any good reason for
buying at 20 cents per pound what
he can get for nottingham even get
paid for taking? For the legumes
not only supply nitrogen, they make
the finest feed for all sorts of stock;
and if one-third of the land planted
in cotton were each year devoted to
leoumlnous crops, in FIVE years there
would not only be more bales of cot
ton made at a much smaller cost per
bale, but there would also be more
and better live stock in the South,
better crops of all kinds, fewer bills
to paw for feed and supplies" more
money coming in and less going out,
richer farmers and a more prosperous
country.
The most prosperous farmers of the
South, almost without exception, get
their nitrogen by growing legumes;
the poorest get theirs from the fer
tillizer bag. One way leads to power
ty, the other leads to prosperity; and
it is for each man to choose which
path he will travel

That WAS n most unfortunate affair
at Black Mountain Friday night, in
which one man lost his life and an
other was seriously injured. The
tenor of the evidence indicates that
the shooting was unnecessary; that
the policeman was too ready with his
pistol. But to go back to the be-
ginning, it is proper to say that if
the victims of the officers pistol had
not raised a disturbance the officer
would not have been sent for and
there would have been no shooting.
Their offending does not appear to
have been so serious, but it precipi-
tated the trouble that had a serious
ending.-Statesville Landmark.
