TAFT AGAINST HOME RULE.

One can imagine all Alaska singing just now: "we will hang Bill Taft on a sour apple tree" It is none of our affair. really, and yet it is for the reason that Alaska Is only just over the backyard fence from Yukon and we have large numbers of Amer lean readers on both sides of the fence. It is but a few days ago the News was asked to express itself on the question of home rule for Alaska. This was in company with Alaskan newspapers, mayors, boards of trade, chambers of commerce, and so forth. Mir. wlckersham, the Alaskan dele gate to congress, collected all these expressions of public opinion. which were practically unanimous, and laid them before President Taft at Seattle.
 Just as lf such representations had never been made the president start, ed out by saying that a territorial government for Alaska was inadyis, able for the present. The disappoint, ment Is that he didn't say who told him so. for he himself has never seen any part of Alaska. Was 1t Hog, gait. the late lamented, or was it the more sorely execrated Brady, who en- deavored to spend the whole of the appropriation for Alaska on his pet Indians and not a cent for schools for white children? We wonder.
 While Alaska has been struggling for years for some sort of autonomy Taft turns it's people down by sug. gestlng that the best form of govern. ment is a federal bureau at Washing, ton. Thus, for the term of Taft, the Alaskans may give up all hopes. They are now in a worse position than ever before. In the early days they were a political appendage Of the state of Oregon. All the carpet-bag politicians of that state out of a job were unload ed on Alaska. and many of them were sorry specimens Of humanity to the hardy. honest pioneers of the north. Then Washington, California and other northwest Pacific states got Into a fight for the patronage of this new country. All of them were desirous of sending their cast off statesmen into these wilds. Then there was a change. Alaska really offered opportunities, and the fight for It's offices became all the more bitter. That is how 1t was, and prac, ucally how 1t is, except Alaska has now an able and energetic delegate ir congress.
 And President Taft has the audaci, iy to propose that the best way of governing Alaska is by appointing a clerk 70 a desk In the anteroom of the department of the interior-pos' sibly a cultured colored man from Florida. We offer our friendly neigh. hcrs of Alaska a syrpS'hy the most distinguished. as they say in France. Dawson News.

BILL PASSES SENATE.
Tariff Measure Finally Disposed Of. $40
Amendments Moved.

Washington, July 8. The tariff
bill passed the Senate just after
II o'clock tonight by vote Of As
to 81. Republicans voting in the
negative we're Beveridge, of Indi-
ana; Bristow, of Kansas; Brown
of Nebraska; Burkett, of Nebras-
ka, Clapp, of Minnesota; Craw-
ford, of South Dakota; Cummins,
of Iowa; Dolliver, of Iowa; La
Toilette, of Wisconsin, Nelson, Of
Minnesota. McEnery, of Louisi-
ana, was the only Democrat re-
corded in the affirmative.
As it passed the Senate the bill
contains almost 400 paragraphs.
The Senate made $40 amendments
to the House provisions, many of
which we're added to-day.
The closing scenes in the Senate
chamb bar we're tame indeed Mr..
LaFollett's three-hour speech to-
might was earnest, but not espec.
tally animated. He had a slim
audience. Senators remained in
their seats only when required to
be there to vote.
The results of the vote on the
bill had been long discounted
There was no doubt # it's passage
by the usual finance committee
majority.
Following several hours of
monotonous iscussion of the gem
eral features of the tariff bill, the
closing hours were characterized
by spirited controversy between
Senator Aldrich on the one hand
and a number of the insurgent
Senators on the other as to the
standing of Republican Senators,
VIII, might cast their votes against
the bill.

STATESVILLE AND IREDELL COUNTY.
Sale Of Near Beer Discontinued. Wheat
Turning out Worse Than was Exueeted

Turning out Worse Than was Expested
statesviIle Landmark, July 9Th,
1t Is understood that the near
beer dealers in Statesville will
make no attempt to test the or.
dance imposing a license tax of
500 a year. The sale of the
beverage has been discontinued
here. A test case may be taken
to the courts from some other
town and the decision will settle
the matter for the whole State.
Farmers who have threshed
wheat generally report that the
yield is smaller than anticipated,
the crop not being an average one.
Where the crops have been worked
out since the rains cotton and up
land corn are looking we'll. Cot.
ton is small for the time of the
year, but a good season for a
month or so will bring the crop
out amazingly; and with good sea-
sons and late fall the yield of
corn and cotton may be much bet
ter than expected
A Statesville lady whose hus-
band refuses to 60 to church be-
cause the headgear of the ladies
often obscures his view of the
preacher, suggests that ruling
be made compelling the women
who wear large hats to take back
seats and the men the front seats
of the church. 1t is true this plan
would solve the problem to some
extent, but most men prefer sit
ting beside their friends of the
fairer sex. The plan would also
be of convenience to those women
who spend most of their time in
church inspecting and comments
ing on the attire of their fellow
mon. It makes little difference
to this class whether they see the
preacher. They are more interest,"
ed in hats and dresses.
The Iredell County Farmers
Union held a meeting at the
court house Saturday in the in
terest Of county warehouse, but
no definite action was taken. It
will be brought up again at the
regular meeting the first Saturday
of next month and at this time
the farmers expect to be able to
make definite arrangement for the
warehouse. They purchased a
site for the warehouse some time
ago.
A "home wedding" will take
place this morning at 8 O'Clock at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. J. H.
Owen, on east Bell street, when
their daughter, Miss Juanita Flo
renee Owen, and Samuel Everett
Woods, of Athens, Ca, will be
joined in wedlock. The ceremony
will be performed by Rev. J. F.
Mitchiner in the presence of a
limited number of guests, aud i'm
m"diately after the ceremony the
bridal party will drive to the rail-
way station, where Mr.. and Mrs.
Woods will board train for
