IGNORE FINDING OF EXPERTS
Democratic Leaders Have Their Own
Ideas as to Revision of the
Tariff Schedules.

Democrats In the house of represen-
tatives are making no secret of their
purpose to proceed with their revision
of the tariff without any regard to the
expert information on the subject fur
nished and to be furnished by the tar
LII board. In accordance with this
policy the ways and means committee
has postponed its consideration of the
WOODEN schedule in order to allow time
for the facts and conclusions present
ed by the board and communicated to
congress by the president to pass
from the public mind, and Is now busy
Ing itself with other schedules, with
regard to which no undesired and in
convenient enlightenment has been re-
ceived. Chairman Underwood and his
Democratic colleagues feel that they
can get along better. that they can
make more rapid progress and accom-
plish results more satisfactory to
themselves when they are not burden
ed with too much knowledge They
do not experience any need for infor-
nation. They can concoct tariff
schedules out of their own inner con-
sciousness. and that is what they pre-
fer to do.

Where Does Money Come From Used

(From the Detroit Free Press.)
Governor Wilson, of New Jersey,
has now four headquarters, in Tren-
ton, New York, Washington, and Chi
cago. The up-keep Of such estab-
lishments is costly. Offices must be
rented, managers and clerks must be
paid, printing and postage bills must
be met. Dr. Wilson is certainly not
rich. It is only a short time since
he was seeking a Carnegie pension.

Raleigh was visited Saturday night
with the deepest snow Of the season.
In fact it was the deepest snow that
has fallen in this city since the mem
orable snow of February, 1899. 1t
measured seven to eight inches but
began melting rapidly with the rise in
the temperature. 1t seems that it
showed in streaks over the State.
Greensboro and Reidsville reported
no snow. Washington, n. c., report
ed twelve inches, and Waynesville re-
ported a heavy snow with the temper
ature below the freezing. The far
mers say this heavy snow and the
cold winter will mean a good crop

in time. The Queen ov England
lands at the captured French city an
at once visits her husband, the King.
She learns awl about the six con-
demned men an their impendin' fate.
Addressin her husband, she said:
The question is not the lives ov six
men-it respects the honor OF the
English nation, 1t respects the glory
ov my Edward. my husband, my
King" Continuin' along the same
line, she declared that the stage upon
which the men would suffer would
become a stage Of honor TO the men
but a stage of shame to England an
an indelible disgrace to hiz name.
Instead, let us put them to confus-
ion by applause and bury them under
a shower of gifts
BE it So" said the King. Bring
them before us at once. The con-
demned volunteers were brought an
the Queen gave them the glad tidings
that their lives would not be requir-

Rivals for fame, but always friends
to virtue, we wish that England were
entitled to call you her sons" The
brave st. Pierre, the first to volun-

Liquor Law Not Enforced In Durham
Durham SUM-

Durham SUM-
Statistics compiled and published
in the News and Observer Friday on
the status of prohibition in this
State, shows a shocking state of af-
fairs for Durham. Instead of drunk
enness decreasing here the record
proved that prohibition had not been
effective in Durham, the number of
drunks being trebled of the year pre-
vious to the enactment Of the new
law. There is no doubt but that the
law is being enforced here as well as
in many other cities of the State, but
a larger amount of whiskey is shipped
to Durham each day.
