The Source Of Law.

Gov. Woodrow Wilson has a
remarkable faculty for putting
the heart of a problem in a
compact phrase.
In his latest speech he says:
The fundamentally important
thing is the source of the law"
And that is precisely the one
truth that the selfish interests
most wish to obscure and keep
from the thought of the people.
The whole question of gov.
eminent is as simple as this:
Shall law, which is for the gov
eminent of all the people, have
its source in the people it is to
govern, or in a board of direc.
tors plotting in dingy Wall
street office the plumber of the

When "business" utters it's
hysterical shrek about "mob
rule" every time the initiative
and referendum is mentioned.
just remember, Mr.. Voter, this
80 called "mob rule" is your
rule.

A GOOD EXAMPLE.
Two North Carolina Farmers Arc Con-
stantly Dragging Roads.

Two North Carolina Farmers Are Con-
stantly Dragging Roads.
An example worthy of emulation Is
that set by Grimes Bros, farmers and
millers, Of Lexington, N. O. These
gentlemen own a big farm north Of the
city, touching the city limits. A short
stretch of the road through this farm
has been macadamized, but so well is
the whole kept that it is impossible to
tell without very close attention just
where the nine foot strip Of macadam
ends and the clay begins. The road
for more than a mile north of the city
is almost perfect, smooth, level and
dry in all sorts Of weather, and the
secret Of its fine condition is the road
drag. After every hard rain a team
and drag go owe the road, and It is
thereby kept In almost perfect condi-
ton.
In striking contrast to this road is
the road just beyond the farm OF these
good citizens. Ruts and holes abound,
and travel ceases to be a pleasure and
becomes a positive discomfort TO man
and beast. The road drag did It all.
All Of this work has never cost the
county or township a penny. These
gentlemen have furnished the labor
and teams and have done the work
without reward or hope of reward"
1t is their hope that the example which
they have set will spread-Southern

In the southwest corner Of Reno

population Of 6l2. Some eighteen
months ago a commercial club was

From Headquarters.

Taft vetoed the Farmers Free
list bill because he wants de
lay That's all any rock-rib-
bed, stand-pat pretectionist
wants.
The Chicago minister says the
the devil is the biggest liar the
ages have produced, The next
thing to do is to identify him in
Hadley's newspaper cabinet.
The Standard Oil company is
beginning to disintegrate in con-
fOrmity with the terms of the
recent decree, but the price of
oil seems to remain intact.
Taft still wants revision of the
tariff downward, we suppose.
And yet his veto of the tariff
bills passed by Congress would
indicate that downward" meant
upward" with the President.
For a three hundred FOUNDER,
Taft wobbles woefully. His
speeches and actions on "wool
schedule K" for instance, "wrig-
giles in and wriggles out and
leaves the mind all in doubt
whether the snake that made the
track is going south or coming
back"
1t is said that Charley Moor
ris, of st. Joseph, chairman of
the Republican state committee,
has been begging Hadley to let
him run for Governor. But the
King-Pin still refuses to consider
enybody out of it but Mckinley.
1t is perfectly reasonable for
Mr.. La Toilette to have a slight
swelling in his chest as a result
of recent legislation. But least
it extend to his head it may be
observed that there's many a
slip twixt a legislative coup and
a presidential election.
Taft surrendered to the wooden
mill trust last week and wrote a
veto defending what he formerly
called the ''indefensible" tariff
on wool, known as schedule K.
1t ought to be easy to elect a
Democratic president next year
viii carry out his campaign
pledge.
The Democratic house reduced
the wool schedule to a flat rate
of 20 per cent ad valorem on
raw wool. La Toilette stood
for IS per cent. The conferees
agreed on % per cent, thinking
half of a Democratic loaf better
than no loaf at all, but Taft
wouldn' t even stand for that.
Taft says that there are a mil
lion people financially interest
ed in the growth and manufac-
ture of wool, and that his vote
speaks for them. But who is to
speak for the ninety million of
people financially Interested in
cheaper blankets, clothing and
wooden goods of all kind.
The legislature appropriated
$1,000 to pay for the necessary
printing in the game commiss-
toner's department during the
next two years, knowing that it
would be ample funds for any
commissioner save Jess Tolerton,
for whom no appropriation was
made. The Republican supreme
court, however, appropriated the
money for the Rajah in the
Republican circus and jess blew
in the $1,000 in thirty days, and
the printing account is already
overdrawn. One item calls for
fancy pictures Of pheasants and

partridges, done in seven colors
for which Rajah had the state
treasurer dig up $3.50. 1t would
take at least 100000 to pay for
all the printing that Tolerton
could order in two years. The
rlotous waste of the peoples mon
ey in the game department
is something that makes extrav-
agance look like economy in
comparison. If it wasn't for
honest John P. Gordon standing
with his back to the treasury
door fighting off this hungry
horde they would bankrupt the
state in a couple of years.
Last week the Borland bill
authorizing the st. Louis and
Kansas City electric railway to
construct a bridge across the
Missouri river was called up in
the house and laid upon the Ia
BILE. The senate bill was substi-
tuted and passed the house.
This will will now become a
law as soon as signed by Pres
ident Taft. This will probably
be done before this paragraph is
read in the paper.
President Taft says in his
veto of the wool bill that he still
wants a reduction in the tariff
tax Of the ''indefenSible schedule
X" but does not want it now.
The high protection trust plum

II he honestly wants a revision
OF the wool schedule "down-

The Democratic house and the
Republican Senate said that
the farmers of the United States
were entitled to buy their wire
for fencing, farm tools and a
hundred others articles in use
every day on the farm, free of a
tariff tax. But the President
says NAY, nay, Pauline" All
that he is willing to give the
farmers is a Canadian market in
which to sell their products.
By his veto he tells the American
farmer he should be contented to
pay tribute to the Steel trust,
the Farm Machinery trust and all
the other trusts that plumber

Lumber Bears
Comparison With
Other Commodities

Notwithstanding the argument
sometimes heard about it being
too high priced now to permit
of home building, Comparing
it with wheat and corn we find
that on
JULY Is, 1907,
100 bu. of wheat would buy
2433 #. com. lumber; 100 bu. of
corn would buy l347 #. com
lumber and on
AUGUST 10, 1911,
100 bu. of wheat will buy 292O
it. com. lumber; 100 bu. of corn
will buy 220O #. COM. lumber.
Fact of the matter is that now is
a good timd to build because
every year the standing timber
of the United States is becoming
more scare and the population
is growing larger. You don't
need any help to solve this
problem, but when you need
