MORE MONUMENTAL CHEEK AND
GALL,

The Raleigh News and Observer is
now trying to blame the Republican
national administration for the fail
ure of the Democratic State Govern
ment in North Carolina to enforce
that prohibition law.
It is VIGOROUSLY known to every
one that the Democratic officials gen.
orally have made no honest or seri-
Gus effort to enforce this law. Even
when the Ward and Watts law, which
preceded the present prohibition law,
were on the statute books, it Is we'll
known that not single Democratic
sheriff in the State attempted to APP
prehend the moonshiners and illicit
whiskey dealers, and that the only
efforts made to break up such illicit
whiskey traffic was by the officers of
the Federal Government.
The cheek and gall which the ed
itor Of the Democratic organ here at
the State capital shows in attempting
to call attention from Democratic in
competency and to charge the same
to the national Republican admins
tration is equal to it's conduct in get

With Some Hot Shot at Some DEM

represented Him.
For some time there has been talk
that Speaker Champ Clark, OF Mis-
souri,, would be in the running for
the Democratic nomination next year
for President. Champ has been
speechifying great deal, but had
not declared himself a candidate I'M
til some Of the Democrats in Mis-
souri, intimated tht Clark was not
really working for himself and then
he picked his flint and went after
them, as the following special from
Washington to the Baltimore Sun
will show:
Several days ago the Kansas City
Star published a story to the effect
that Champ Clark was in the Presi-
Dental race simply as a stable mate
of Judson Harmon and that after he
had pocketed the other contestants
he would quit in the quarter-stretch
and leave the running to the Ohio
entry.
THE statement was given on the
authority of one of Governor Folks
chief boomers, and this interesting
bit of gossip made the Speaker rip
ping mad. He did not like the i'm
plication of bad faith and insincerity
so he sat himself down and wrote a

n IMPORTANT DEFECT POINT
ED OUT.

The Greensboro Record points out
one great defect in the course of
study in the public schools. 1t is in
not having the constitution taught,
and that paper emphasizes the seri-
business of this neglect by calling at
tention to the fact that the educa-
tional qualification provided to deter
mine whether or not man can vote,
requires him to write and explain a
section of the constitution. We
quote from the article in the Record
as follows
Some astonishing things hap
pen. The other day a countryman
met a prominent educator in
Greensboro. L believe the law
says a man coming of age must
be able to read any section of
the constitution of the State and
Of the United States and explain
it, he said Is this correct?'
He was told that 1t was. Well
said the man, why don't you
teach the constitution in the
schools? You may teach it in
town, but they don't in the coun-
try. I know because I have in
vestigated it. Boys are growing
up in ignorance of these import
ant things, yet the law says he
cannot register unless he can
read it and explain it,
Everyone knows that our public
schools are about the poorest that
exist anywhere in the United States
and yet every poor boy in the State
| must depend upon these public
! schools for all education he will ever
have, and which will determin,

Each member of the cabinet is sup

prime minister. At any particular
crisis, when important papers reach
Downing street. the premier, after
perusing them. places them in the dis
patch box and hands the box to spe-
cial messenger, who takes 1t round to
each member Of the cabinet in success
sion. Each member opens 1t with his
key and relocks 1t after he has read
the documents it contains. In this
way the papers are prevented from
falling into the hands Of strangers or
members of parliament who are not In
the cabinet
Now and again 1t Is found necessary
to print copies of "secret" which
comes up for discussion at a meeting
Of the cabinet. The document is cut
up into many small pieces and dis
tributed among goodly number Of
compositors In the government print
Ing works, each of whom sets up his
little piece, and the little piece may
represent only dozen lines of type.
When all the fragments are In type a
highly trusted official collects both the
copy and the type and puts the latter
together The printing of the docu-
ment is then done in secret under the
eyes of this official, and the men who
work the printing machine are for
bidden to handle any of the paper after
1t is printed upon.-National Magazine.

NAMES AND FACES.

stephen A. Douglas had the most
remarkable memory for faces Of any
man in public life," declares a corre-
spondent. Upon the occasion Of q
visit to Washington on election day in
1880 the late Colonel John w. Forney
was discussing the election of Garfield
over Hancock with Colonel Harmon of
Detroit. Colonel Harmon had been
mayor of Detroit and prominent in ma
tional politics. Harmon and Forney
got to talking about earlier politics,
ana Harmon related the story of
meeting with Douglas in New York.
Douglas had been nominated in Balti.
more by one faction of the Democratic
party. Breckenridge was chosen by
the other faction in Charleston. When
he heard OF his nomination Douglas
was in New York. He entered the
Astor House, then the headquarters
for all politicians and the principal
hotel in New York, and Immediately
was surrounded by his political admir-
ers. Among them was Colonel Har-
mon. The latter, according to the
story he told me, put forth his hand
and congratulated Douglas on his nom-
inatiOn.
"'Thank you, Colonel Harmon re-
piled Douglas.
Harmon was amazed that Douglas
should have remembered his name, for
he had met the little giant but once,
fifteen years before. and then for but
brief period After time he return
ed and asked Douglas how he was
able to call him by name.

was provided that the management
should be vested In board Of nine di
rectOrs of three classes. three being
elected each year for period of three
years, they to elect a president, vice
president. secretary and treasurer.
Among the permanent committees pro-
vided for the most important was Il
committee described as follows:
An, outdoor art committee. whose duty
1t shall be to promote by action and in
fluence the establishment of sanitary and
beautiful conditions in and about the COM
munity, particularly by fostering an in
terest in the planting and preservatio OF
trees. vines. flowers and shrubs and the
beautifying of our homes. highways and
public places.
1t must be confessed that the sup
port Of the society at the start was
limited to a small number Of enthusi-
asts. and until they demonstrated by
good works visible to everybody's eye
what even a few devoted people could
do the society did not gain In mem
bership. o.
The first job tackled was the prob
lem of making an attractive entrance
to the town at and surrounding the
railroad station. Flower beds and
shrubs were set out. and an unsightly
piece of land. partly public and partly
railroad property, near the tracks op-
posite the station. was taken in hand,
filled in. graded and drained and then

New York, Nov. 1O.-Cotton futures
opened steady at an advance of to II
points in response TO higher Liverpool
cables and renewal of covering and bull
support. Offerings were heavy around
the initial figures, with much of the SELL
ing attributed to the South and the mar
ket eased off or l points from the best

aggressive and the tone later became
nervous and irregular.
Offerings were very steadily and readily
absorbed on the early reaction and the
market later developed renewed strength
with many early sellers covering, while
there was continued support from bullish
sources, which was doubtless encouraged
by private advices from the south fidi-
eating very firm interior holders and also
reporting that bad weather was interfer-
ing with picking and ginning. Prices
sold up into now high ground for the
movement late in the forenoon or about

GOD COMMANDS AND
CALIFORNIA MAN oBEYs
BY Associated Press.

Pasco, Wash, Nov. 10.-Deciaring
that God had called upon him to give
up the practice of medicine and to
travel about the country healing the
sick by the laying on of hands. DR.. F.
e. Yoakum, of Los Angeles. a brother
of B. F. Yoakum, president of the
Frisco Rock Island system, is holding
meetings in southwestern Washing
ton.
Nightly his gatherings are crowded
with sick people, as well as by the
casually curious. Some of the ailing
claim they have been given relief by
DR.. Yoakum, who makes no charge at
all for his ministrations, and who is
defraying his own expenses.
DR.. Yoakum is a graduate of the
medical school of the University Of
California, and for years was a prac-
ticing physician in Los Angeles. Later
he gave up medicine to become a
Methodist preacher, and while thus
engaged was stricken with paralysis.
According to his own statement, thir-
ty- two physicians endeavored to cure
him but failed. He then was restored
to health by what he calls divine
faith" After this he determined to
" orld curing others.
The healer makes no pretense of
having Divine personality, and as all
his work is absolutely free, many
people are convinced of his sincerity.
He goes from here to Toronto,
Canada
