One of the richest men in North
Carolina died not long ago. lie was
a millionaire, but he didn't put on
any frills about it and he lived in a
manner singularly unlike the ordinary
mans conception of the millionaire's
mode of living. He lived the simple life.
1t was so simple, indeed, that 1T would
have been painful to almost anybody
who believed to any considerable extent
In the maxim, "Live while you live"
This wealthy man of North Carolina
occupied a farmhouse of primitive de-
sign. The house furnishings were
severely plain. There was barely
enough furniture for actual needs. The
floor was without carpets and the win
dow was without curtains. Most Of the
window panes had been broken out
wears ago and none of them had been
replaced. The little special telegram
which chronicles these facts does not
on much deeper into details, but all of
ne have seen farmhouses of that sort.
THE front gate Says on it's rust-eaten
hinges. the chimney is ragged and
moss-erown and "the roof lets in the
sunshine and the rain" 1t is hard to
conceive of a millionaire living and
diving in that sort of a house, but we
occasionally hear of case of that
character ,,4
The North Carolina Croesus didn't
have any motorboats or automobiles.
He had no bathtubs in his house.

~A preference of the Southern Pa
cific machine among the five Repub-
lican aspirants for the party's NOM
ination for governor, processes to dis
Germ no insurgent undertow in Cali
fornia as he journeys about the state
He tells the San Francisco Chronicle:
L find absolutely no insurgent
sentiment in California. There are
"antis" who would be against the
things that are, and one lot of men
will be anti for that reason, and
another anti" for that, but as |
stated before, there is no under
lying discomfort because of the re-
Gently enacted tariff
If Mr. Anderson thinks the tariff is
the only thing that has made insur-
gency or that there is none because it
is not making great noise he is show
ing himself a singularly bad politician,
rs bad as those who were utterly sur
prised when the Brookline, Mass, dis
trict overturned a Republican plurality
of about 10000 ami elected Eugene
Foss, a Democrat, to congress. The
insurgency now abroad in the land is
not of the megaphonous kind. 1t is
related of the Foss campaign that when
Senator Lodge had concluded long
and elaborate defense of the new tar
iff law and of the ruling crowd in con-
gress he left the platform without Il
single handicap. There was no dem
onstration either of approval or dis
approval but subsequent events proved
that a heap of thinking was going on.
If Mr. Anderson is looking for open
dissatisfaction with the tariff as the
only sign of insurgency he is afflicted
with bad case of political purblind-
ness. The absolute domination of ma
tional legislation by Aldrich and Can
non, the weakness of Taft, the sub
serviency of California members of
congress to those eastern party bosses
whose O. x must be secured before
any legislation can be secured for our
state, the alliance between big bust
ness and politics, the arrogance of
corporations made secure by control of
the political parties, the Guggenheims,
the Ballingers, the Iormers-all these
are making insurgents, and of those
least suspected by The party managers.
We see that sunny jim" Sherman,
erstWhile a trusted henchman for Uncle
Joe Cannon, and still of his political
kind, has got back to Utica and told
his folks that insurgency is on the
wane and he finds few signs of it any
more. Uncle Joe himself still snaps
his fingers at the movement and re-
fuses to regard it seriously. The only
explanation of the faulty of the Can
mons, Shermans and Andcrsons is the
scriptural one, that long SHINING has
hardened their hearts and blinded their
eyes so they cannot see. They will
know when the avalanche rolls over
them.

WANTS ANSWERS 70 SOME
QUESTIONS ABOUT RATES

Editor Herald; | have been interest
ed in the electric light controversy and
wish to express my very great sym
pathy for the poor corporations, who
have been investing their money for the
public good and now are having con-
fiscatory rates thrust upon them.
Some things, however, VIC would like
to know have not yet been explained.
l don't think it matters to us what
other cities pay, the question concerns
US. First we would like to know If
the corporation, in selling electricity
to the electric railroads at u of cent,
is selling below cost, for to the average
man it Is very doubtful? If they are
selling below cost, then the rate is
9 cents for the public to pay the diff
fefence and the electric roads get it go
ing and coming.
If q of a cent is within the cost then
it would seem that the people are be-
ing held up a little too high, and it is
time for them 10 get square deal. l

The buggy needed paint The horse
would have looked BETTER if he had

doubtless would have felt better for

his master didn't believe in wasting

When the old man went to the coun-
try town he drove thither in his rick
ETY. buggy, and he carried his dinner
with him in a tin pail, not omitting to
take along few ears of corn for the

from his appearance that he was worth
a million. He would have been about
the last man on earth to be shot by
an anarchist who cherished a blood
thirsty prejudice against millionaires.
Nevertheless, it was ascertained when
he died that he owned stocks and bonds

CALIFORNIA THE PLACE

EEAT EW ORLEANS has the better
claim as the site for the Pana-
~ ma exposition to celebrate the
opening of the interoceanic waterway.
California is beyond the reach of the
average easterner and resident of the
Ohio valley"
This is the view expressed by the
Evansville Qnd) Courier Let us see
how sound the argument is. From far
off Boston to the Pacific is now only
five-day journey. The exposition Wis
itor could come from there, have ten
days in which to see the exposition and
Gods country, and be back home in
twenty days In the summer he can
take a cool northern route. escaping
the sands of the Arizona desert and the
tropical heat of malarial Louisiana.
The fact that he can travel clear across
his own land in comfort and style, at
special rates within the reach of every
pocket will cause many one to see

south in a hot sleeper.

get the crowds that cannot come at
other times. New orleans is an inferno
in summer. Its muddy Mississippi
breathes a constant miasmic breath as
from the mouth of dragon, while the
city's drinking water, taken from this
same river betrays its origin by its
color and its serious effects on the
''innards" of most of the visitors who
are compelled to drink it. In summer
the pavements of New Orleans hurl
back the blistering rays of the tropic
sun with the force of a blow to the
unacclimated.
Against the only real attractions of
New Orleans, the Creole maidens, the
absinthe frappes, the Sa2erac cocktails,
and breakfasts in the French quarter,
California offers the oxygen of the Pa
cifc breeze, the rose-trellised gardens
of southern Italy, the rugged crags of
Switzerland, the lochs of Scotland, the
carpeted fields of Ireland the incom-
parable forests of the Yosemite.
The visitor to california regrets that
he did not come before; the visitor
to New Orleans regrets that the out
going train does not leave sooner. The
oozy molasses of Louisiana and the
taunty uodding poppy of California
typify the difference between the sum
mers in the respective states, Let us
hope for the sake of the country that
the country is not forced to go to the
Crescent city to celebrate the opening
of the canal.
