TALKING FOR BUNCOMBE.

In speaking of the manner of pun
ishment that should be meted out to
the trust officials. the News and OBJ
server says that Rockefeller, Gary
and Duke should be put in Jail.
Now, for instance, if the courts
should put Mr.. Duke in jail, who
would come to the rescue Of the
Democratic party the next time it had
a million dollars of bonds to dispose
of and could not find a purchaser?
1t will be remembered that when
the Democrats had about ruined the
credit of the State and could not
float the million-dollar bond issue
and after the call had been issued
for the Legislature to meet in extra
ordinary session to increase the rate
of interest on the bonds so as tt
make them more attractive to pros
pective purchasers, that the Amer
lean Tobacco Company came to theil
rescue and took the million~dollar is
sue at the old rate, saved the nee
essity-of the extra session of tn,
Legislature, and saved the Demo
cratic party from utter demoraliza
ton at that time. OF course, thu
American Tobacco Company coul,
have waited until the Legislature hat
increased the rate of interest, AM
then the bonds would have beel
worth several thousand dollars NOR
to the Tobacco Trust.
Now, of course, the News and Oh
server knows just as every one els
knows, that Mr.. Duke didn't throy
away several thousand dollars in in
terest just for the privilege Of bein
sent to pail.
In fact, the trusts in this Stat
do not seem to be in any danger O
even being indicted, much less bein
sentenced to Jail.
The News and Observer is jus
talking for political buncomb, that
all.

WHO HAS PROSECUTED THE
TRUSTS?

In discussing the Sherman anti
trust Law, w. ]. Bryan says:
''It took four years and a half to
get a decision in the Standard Oil
case. II it takes that long 10 find
out whether a trust magnate can be
sent to the penItentiary uder the
law as emasculated by the Supreme
Court, President Taft may be able
TO bIuf his way through another
campaign on the trust question as
he did through the law, but the blum
ought to deceive anybody who Is
really opposed TO the trusts"
Mr.. Bryan might have added that
the Republican officials kept working
on the case until they did get de-
cision-and that decision ordered
the trust to dissolve. Some was
true in the case Of the American To-
bacco Company. 1t seems that
Bryan is not satisfied, however, be-
cause some of the trust officials have
not been sent to Jail. Certainly, Mr..
Bryan has forgotten the record OF
his own party on prosecuting the
trust. How many trust officials were
put in Jail during Cleveland's ad-
ministration, when the Democrats
had complete control of the govern
ment? The Sherman antitrust law
was on the statute books when
Cleveland was elected, but it was
never used to prosecute a single
trust during his administration
Why was it that some of them were
not put in Jail then?

We are publishing in this week s

Crime of High Taxes" that we wish
every voter in the State would read

written by lady, farmers wife,

taxes have been an oppression On
her family and her neighbo The
taxes on her husbands land has been
increased to nearly four times the
amount he was required to pay ten
years ago. It should not cost SO
much to run our State government
and it would not cost so much r !
for the fact that the Democrats CO.
tinue to increase the salaries of their
officials and create new ofices, with
big pay attached, in order to reward
other party pets.
Isn't it time to take the reigns OF
government out Of the hands of the
party that causes the masses to suf-
fer in order that the politicians may
be provided with easy berths?

A PACKAGE OF MIXED SEED.

Have you any seeds of kindness

seed store.
Seeds OF kindness, what are
those?" said the scotsman.
why, in our Bible school We sing:
Then scatter seeds of kindness
For our reaping bye and bye

plant some kindness seeds"
ooh, those come in a mixed pack

big book from a shelf.

boy thought, and sure enough it was.
Let me see: I think I will find
that package Of seeds in 2 Peter,

there it is; see IL you can read it for
me, beginning with the fifth verse" "
So the boy read: ''And besides
this, giving all diligence, add to wour

edge; and to knowledge temperance;
and to temperance, patience; and to
patience goodness; and to goodness
brotherly kindness; and to brotherly

age, you see," said the man.
But aren't there any real seeds?'
said the boy. Does it just near
that you are to be kind to folks?"
"Yes, that is what it means" SAID
the man, but kindness and charity
and faith are real things, and IL you
plant them in your heart they live
and grow, just as seeds grow in the
garden"
What is the reaping by and by?'
said the boy.
1T means that IL you are kind
people will be kind to you," said the
scotsman, land, better than all, i
means that God, who is kind to ths
unthankful and evil, will be pleased
with you"

The folio wing editorial from the
Lumberton Robesonian is an insult
to the intelligence Of the average far
mer. The Robesonian says:
IF the people who endorse
high tarIn protection BY voting
the Republican ticket were the
only ones who have TO pay the
resultant exorbItant prices We
should rejoice with exceeding
great Joy; but the trouble Is,
they saddle the Internal high
prices on Democrats as well as
epublicans-thati is, on the just
as we'll as the unjust. If Re-
publicans had to bear alone all
the burdens they impose on the
country nobody but those who
have some scheme to rob the
people would ever again vote the
Republican ticket"
The Robesonian is exceeding the
speed limit for a rocky road. Almost
any fourteen-year-old school boy can
take the Robesonian's own argument
and run it in it's hole. That paper
complains because Democrats are
forced to pay high prices for articles
as we'll as the Republicans, but it
would not care if Republicans alone
had to pay the high prices. There
might be some justice in the Robe
sonian's position but for the fact the
Democratic farmers sell their prod
ucts for high prices under protec-
tive tariff as well as the Republicans.
Would the Democratic farmers be
willing to sell their cotton for five
cents a pound while the Republicans
were selling theirs for Is cents a
pound? When the Democratic farm
er was selling his cotton for four
and five cents a pound, during Cleve-
lands administration, the Republican
farmer was forced to sell his cotton
at the same low price, and both OF
them were selling 1t at less than the
cost Of production. No matter how
cheap the necessities of life may be
if you haven't "the price" you can't
| buy them. And not only does the
| farmer suffer, but the mill men sui
fer because they can't find a market
for their goods and are forced te
close down. The mill operatives are
not benefited because they are neces
sarily thrown out of employment II
has been clearly demonstrated tina
I the farmer, the mill man, the mill op
erative, the merchant, and, in fact
all classes, except the shylocks, thfivs
better under a Republican tariff thar
under free trade.

SHEEP RAISING

Company Forms at Belen
For Purpose Of In
creasing Stock

Belen, n. NJ, Nov. 6.-With an excel
lent summer for the range in this sec
ton Of New Mexico. the sheep bust
ness has taken a decided impetus. The
sheep industry, which has for years
been one of the leading industries of
this section Of New Mexico, is by no
means decreasing, except in those To-
calities where the further Limitation
Of the range has forced the herds TO
other places.
[ The newest sheep venture in this sec
ton is the PedernaI Livestock and Land
company, a concern which has recently
been organized under the laws of New
Mexico
The corporation is composed largely
Of railroad men, and considerable CAPT
tai has already been interested in the
project.
The price Of sheep in this section
seems TO be constantly increasing
Lambs, which started at something low
considerably beyond the 81 mark and
the indications are that the prices viii
be still higher in the course of few
weeks This ma6es the sheep business
a profitable one for those who have
sheep to sell. While the price of wool
was rather low last season, the pros
poets are that il viii be some better at
the next shearing season.
In almost every section where there
Is range In any quantity, the grass has
been better than usual during the sum
mer months, and this growth has tend
ed TO raise q very healthy crop Of
lambs. There is 4 decided movement TO
into this section, and with q winter
which is anywhere near the average
the sheep industry viii be larger next
spring than it has been for some time.
