UNCLE SANS REAL ESTATE
BUSINESS

A government official in a rfecent
address,( has spoken of the admins
tration of the public domain as
"Uncle Sans real estate business .
The language is fortunate because it
has become the truth. 1t is better to
be frank than to follow the example
of some high officials who discuss the
government policy toward the public
lands as though they were held in
trusteeship, subject to the call of the
course, impossible that any human
people who traverse them. 1t is, of
course, impossible that any human
policy or intention should long remain
disgised. The aim of men revel them
selves.
This Interpretation of the govern
ment's purpose, true though it be,
stands out in bold relief against the
traditione of the nation, with are ex-
pressly opposed to the relationship of
landlords and tenants between the
central government and the citizens of
the states. 1t provost the existeiee
of a new sort of federation. The def
milton 70 "Unele Sans real estate

A GAIL TO The PEOPLE.

Tb- work Of the North Carolina Just Freight
Rate Association is not ended. 1t has just begun.
Already its good effects have been seen IN what
has been offered by the railroads and in what
has been directed by the General Assembly.
The cali to the people OF the State to attend

it has work vet to do and clearly he sets this
forth 1t is call for purpose which should
bring to the meeting representatives from every
part of the State
In his call President Tate speaks OF needed
work to secure for North Carolina full considera
ton in fire insurance matters. 1t is recognized
that rates and insurance conditions in North
Carolina are not what they should be, and there
should be steps taken to remedy these matters
which are burden Upon our people. The Cen
era Assembly has directed that Commission

North Carolina and report to the next session Of
the General Assembly. The people of North
Carolina can aid in making known conditions
they exist, and there is no better time to make
start at this than right now. This is matter
which will come before the meeting next Thurs
ton is invited to it.
United and cooperating, the people Of North
Carolina can secure full relief from freight rate
injustice and fire insurance injustice. Let the
people stand shoulder to shoulder and they will
be able to accomplish great things for North

FRAMEUP FOR HUERTA,

1t is entirely possible that some Of the excite
ment over the Mexican situation has been due to
too vivid rnaginations For instance a part of
the alarm has centered around Felix Daz and
what might happen if Huerta should arrest and
imprson him.
This looked very much like crossing bridges
before getting to them. Huerta had nothing to
gain by imprisoning Daz and much to lose.
The election today will probably be a fasco
any way, and so far it's outcome is concerned,
it probably would not matter at all whether Diaz
in the or out of it, 1t will be frame
UP to suit Huerta, no matter what else happens.
1t is difficult to why the European nations
have all at once become so concerned about af-
fairs in Mexico. It is true that at Washington
the situation is regarded serious but that is
because the several European nations have need
lessy put in their Leave it to Wilson and
