REPUBLICANS VERY BLUE.
Appointment of Judge COnnOr Goes
Hard With Them.

aAN Et4UA MN
Raleigh News and Observer.
When the news reached Raleigh
yesterday that Judge Conner had been
named to fill the vacancy on the Fed,
eral Court bench Republican politi-
clans in Raleigh began to blue the
air with hot words and let fly .sone
expressions that "be id if we vote
the Republican ticket again"
Last night various Republican poll
tician groups, sac and disfigured look
ing, were talking matters over, and
their expressions were vigorous. Said
one: "That appointment by Presi-
Gent Taft is an outrage on the Repub-
~ an party. If we were good enough
to vote for him, we ought to be good
enough for him to give us the Office.
By his appointment of a Democrat he
says that Republicans of North Caro-
lima are not fit for the highest posi-
ton in this State in his gift. He has
licked us and kicked us hard"
The Republicans hat are on the
lookout for office and crumbs of pie
are careful not to talk in public, but
on the quiet they are making the air
blue. They will cool off after awhile
and ask for more pie, but those who
have principle resent the action OF
the President in finding no one fit in
the party.

THE WARSHIP CRAZE.

Germany, Russia, Great Britain and
the United States are striving to build
more and larger Dreadnoughts, and
Japan and Italy and France and the
lesser nations are striving to keep in
the procession, even if they cannot
keep up with it.
Strangest of all, Austria proposes to
become a sea power, although she has
only two good ports. She is to build
seven Dreadnoughts instead of four.
Austria has not at present any sea
rating, but she starts on an almost
even footing with the other nations
simply because the Dreadnoughts
have disqualified all the lesser ships
so far as the fighting line is con-
cerned.
This new burden of the warlike ma
lions is heavily felt, especially in Eng
land, and it was England that first
devised the new Dreadnought class.
These modern ships are extremely ex-
~pensive, and the life of one does not
much exceed ten years. The new wa
equipment goes on among The fore
most nations, and yet it is IN affront
and a libel on their boasted intelli-
and civilization. Germany is
the chief offender, and all the other
nations are striving to keep the Teu-
tons from becoming masters of the
sea.

JUDGE COMMON.

In the appointment of Hon. Henry
Groves Conner, of the State Supreme
Court. to the life position of Judge of
the United States Circuit Court of the
Eastern district of this State, as an
nounced in Wednesdays Argus, Pres1-
dent Taft has done violence to party
precedent and wofully discredited
those of the legal profession in this
district who are adherents of the Re
publican party, and thereby sustains
the longtime contention of the De-
mocracy of the State that Republicans
in this State are not such as to be
honored with high Office.
This act of President Taft should
go far towards sustaining, without
further controversy, the integrity OF
the Democratic party in it's character
istic policy of putting only good men
and the best men-in Office.
And how proudly do we look-we,
as a party, look the world in the face
as the appointment of Judge Conner
is heralded abroad, feeling-knoWing
that Judge Taft has honored himself
and the Federal bench in this selec
ton and that the legal profession, as
such, will feel a thrill of satisfaction
that Judge Conner is to preside over
so important a court for life.

PHILIPPINE TARIFF BILL.
House Committee Tells Why Changes
i'm Measure Are Made.

Washington, D. c., May 1O.-The
principal changes made by the House
Committee on Ways and Means in the
Philippine tariff bill are explained in
the report submitted to the House to-
day by Representative Payne, of New
York. 1t is stated that the new tariff
for the islands becomes necessary on
account of the free trade provisions
of the Payne bill, which will deprive
the insular government of about one
million dollars of revenue.
The export duties on Manila hemp,
copra, tobacco, sugar and shells,
which yielded a revenue of $743,988 in
1908, are re-enacted in the new bill,
although, as Mr.. Payne states, an ex-
port duty is foreign to the policy OF
the government of the United States
and is prohibited by the constitution.

New Bern's Paper Industry.

New Bern Journal.
Readers of Sundays Journal noted
with interest that it was printed upon
news paper of home production. The
fact that the pulp was not made alto
gether from local products cannot
take away from the interest of this
manufactured product, whose ingredi-
ents were SO carefully compounded,
resulting in a news paper that was
The Carolina Paper Pulp Mills has
reached it's present stage OF develop
ment after several years of energetic
work, with many adverse conditions to
surmount. The confidence in this
plant is best judged by the fact that
its stock is owned in majority by citi-
zens of New Bern. This control of
ownership in a mill that is to employ
local products with which to secure
it's manufactured article is a change
in sentiment hat If ~persevered in will
prove of immense benefit to New Bern
and it's material and industrial adj
vancement. 1t is the beginning of
local enterprises that cannot but
prove of inestimable commercial value
to this city.
The gentlemen who have taken up
this paper mill industry have b full
est confidence in the outcome of their
venture. They r sparing neither
money nor the needed skill of men
and machinery, in bringing to full
manufacturing power this paper in
dustry, and its success means more
to New Bern than the mere profit up
on the investment that it's investors
expect to realize. It means industries
to follow.
again, the Journal desires to cal
special attention to the quality Of
news paper that the Carolina Paper
Pulp Mill people supplied the Journa
with for it's Sunday edition. It is
notable exhibit, and the Journal
which has advocated and preached
local industries" for than
quarter of a century, is proud to b
able to use this home-manufacture'

MRS. ROWLAND BRoADHuRsT.
Buried Amid Widespread Sorrow in
Her Home Town.

Americas, Ca, Times-Recorder.
The funeral of Mrs. r. S. Broad
hurst was conducted yesterday after
noon from Calvary Episcopal Church,
the building being filed to the doors
with Borrowing friends assembled to
much loved among the people of
Americas.
The service, beautiful in it's deep
solemnity, was conducted by Rev.
James B. Lawrence, whose tender
words were as a benediction.
Preceding the reading Of the ritual
for the dead, Miss Buchanan sang
with great effect Lead, Kindly Light
At the conclusion of the service the
casket, with its wealth of floral offer
ings, vas borne to it's final resting
place in Oakgrove.
About the altar the floral offerings
sent by Borrowing friends were dis
played, while the handsome casket
was completely hidden by the most
exquisite flowers.
The wealth, beauty and aroma OF
the rare plants was but emblematie
of the pure, sweet life that had thus
gone out, a flower crushed in the hour
of it's richest fragrance and absolute
perfection.
The commitment service at the
grave closed the obsequies.
The death of Mrs. Broadhurst is
fraught with more than usual sadness
stricken as she was in the flush an6
bloom of young womanhood, when al
the world bore for her a roseate hut
and offered so much to render life
here superlatively happy.
The idol in her home, of husband
and little ones alike, she had SO mucl
to live for, and prayed that she nigh
be spared to them. In her death the
stricken father and four little babes
one a tender infant of two weeks, art
bereft of the sweet and beautiful low
of wife and mother.
And to these bereaved ones, foul
of them too young to understand, t.
realize their loss, the tender sympa
thy of a whole city is extended.
Mrs. Virginia Hill Broadhurst wa
the second daughter of the late D. B
Hill and Mrs. Pauline Hill. Ten year
ago she was married to Mr.. r. S
Broadhurst, and in all of America
no happier home than theirs existed
Of charming personality, she mad
and retained strong friendships.
Besides her immediate family she
| survived by her mother, her sister
Mrs. W. D. Moreland, and four broth
ers, who have the sympathy of all il
their deep sorrow.

JUST BANANAS.

This country imports and consumes
annually $1,000, 900 punches of bana-
mas, if those punches were even
ly distributed every man, woman and
child in the and would get half a
bunch a year. The United Fruit Com
pany, a concern made up OF Boston
magnates, brings here about 85 per
cent. of the immense import, and New
Orleans handles more of these bana-
mas than any port in this country. The
independents handle about $500, 900
punches a year in the customary
commercial tanner. The banana trust
on the other hand, grows a good share
of it's bananas and WINS the ships it
uses. And yet it is only ten years
old.
This $50, 900, 600 concern own vast
plantations in Central America and
Panama and Colombia and in the
West Indies. 1t has more acres in
Costa RIGA than in any other country,
although it's holdings in Cuba are
large, and also n~PanaTaa. It builds
it's own railroads, and it already has
419 miles of track. It is a growing,
prospecting concern, and in the course
of ten years to come it promises to
rival the Standard Oil in profits as it
already does in the percentage of bus
mess transacted, both drawing the
line at 85 per cent. The independents
who are not content with a total OF
Is per cent. are marked to be crushed
out altogether.

Poor Richards Almanac.

DR.. Franklin himself in one Of the
last numbers Of the almanac gathered
together all the best sayings Of Poor
Richard, which for twenty-five years
had amused and edited the country.
These sayings are in constant use at
this day. For example, EARLY to bed
and early to rise makes man healthy,
wealthy and wise;" "Drive thy busi-
ness-let it not drive thee;" Help
hands, for have no lands;" mo gains
without pains" Constant dropping
wears away stones;" Three removes
are as bad as fire." HE that by the
plow would thrive must himself ei-
ther hold or drive" "A fat kitchen
makes lean will" Experience keeps
dear school, but fools will learn In
no other" 1t was such homely max
inns as these inserted in all the little
gaps of the almanac that made 1t so
popular. Franklin said he sometimes
sold 10000 copies in year. a wonder
full sale for that day. The first number
Of Poor Richards Almanac appeared
In 1892
