That President Taft favors the War

Civil War" as part OF an inscription
OF soldiers memorial at Yale Il a
fact brought out to-day by the de-
tails OF the plans OF the Yale eol-
diers' memorial committee The

tee is a series Of tablets with artistic
adornments at the inner entrance OF

All military titles OF the fallen
Yale soldiers will be rejected and
only the full name and classes Of the
men who fell on both sides used.
Deaths before the end OF the year
1855 will limit the names on the
tablets. The committee will report
to the Yale corporation next June

That Democratic Free Sugar Fraud.
The Democratic House OF Repre-
sentatives has been striving ever
since the beginning OF this session
TO make political campaign capital
for their party. They appointed 3
large number OF investigating COM
mittees TO try to unearth frauds or
rottenness in the Republican admin
istration. They have completely
realized that everything else they
have done through their hypocrisy
economy plan has lost them votes
with the people.
In their desperation they have
now turned to try to get up some
pop-gun tariff bills. which they know
will not pass, for campaign thunder.
The last one which they have
brought forth Is a bill declaring for
free sugar. Their action in doing
this has caused a broad smile on the
faces Of all politicians who can see
80 clearly through the transparent
piece Of hypocrisy.
In commenting upon it, every one
says that IL they wanted to reform
the tariff why did not they offer a
bill making substantial reductions on
certain important schedules which
they know would be adopted by the
Senate and approved by the Presi-
| dent. 1t Is noticeable that the Dem
ocrats have been careful not to offer
| any such tariff reduction bill.
The Washington Evening Times,
in an editorial commenting upon this
| Democratic free sugar bill, says that
it will fool nobody, and 1t is clear
to everybody that 1t Is done for cam
paign thunder and not with a view
| to getting it passed. In concluding
| it's editorial, the Times, which is a
progressive paper and in favor Of
tariff reform. says:
'It will please the sugar trust
andthe beet sugar people because
1t will make impossible any
change at all. So long as they
considered plans that were in
tended to have a chance of be-
coming a law and giving the
people real advantage, they were
hopelessly unable to agree. 1t
was only on fantasies proposal
that could not possibly have a
ghost of a show of enactment
that the Democrats could get
| together"

CIV. W. Fisher, in Clinton News
Dispatch.)
Ever since God made the world
and placed in the armament above
the great Solar System, there have
been systems of every variety, but
never in all the tide of time has
there been a system SO absolutely
base, or incredibly corrupt as the
present public school system of
North Carolina.
You may advocate the election of
United States Senators by a direct
vote OF the people, or any other is
sue that may present itself but so
importan is the education of this
generation that it Is better for you
and your posterity that your Sena-
tors, your Congressman, and even
your Governors be appointed by some
outside power, If it would only re-
store to the people the right to select
the men to manage the great public
to the poor boys and girls OF the
State
The State Textbook Commission
is granted the exclusive right to
panies, and to secure BOOKS best
suited to the public schools of the
State; the teachers are required to
teach the books adopted by this Com
mission or receive no compensation
for their work, then II the publish
ers do not publish the books until al
most a year after they have been
adopted by the Commission (like they
are now doing), what can the
teachers do but stand about in idle
ness until they perish, and let the
poor children grow up in ignorance
and illiteracy, or ignore that section
Of the public school law? And If you
can ignore one section, you can ig-
more it all, and the whole public
school law is not worth the paper
it is printed on.
But the greatest and most serious
defect of the Textbook Commission
Is the acceptance Of textbooks from
publishers without any regard to the
merit or intrinsic value of the books.
A sufficient proof of this may be
found in a careful investigation of
the textbooks now in use throughout
the public schools Of the State. Sec
tion 4167 of the Public School Law
of North Carolina says: That the
failure of any teacher to attend the

estimated that 700 sat down to a
magnificent dinner and there waa
