CAROLINA SHOWS UP WELL.

Illinois has 81 900 public school
teachers. Fffty-five per cent of them
have had neither high school nor nor
nal training.
In this particular, North Carolina
makes a far better showing than I'LL
nois. We have 5000 white teachers In
the public schools ofthe State; 5000
of them have had normal school train
ing and nearly 1000 of them hold col
Iege diplomas.
We have less than 40 per cent to put
against Illinois 55 per cent unframed
teachers. ts67
And yet Illinois spends over 100000
600 a year upon her public schools, and
can afford to pay for larger salaries
command far higher level OF training
than North Carolina. Illinois ought
command far higher level OF training
for her public. school teachers.
The point is this: the devotion and
conservation of North Carolina teach
ers show well against the greater
wealth and larger salaries of Illinois,

TAFT ON WAR PREVENTION.

Someryille, Mass, Dec. 9.-Assump
ton by congress of authority to pre-
yent states from violating United
States treaties would do more to pre-
vent war between this nation and an
other than increasing the army and
navy, former President Taft declared
tonight in an address before the Hep
tcrean club.
"The only real possibility of war
that can foresee is the wanton, reck-
less, wicked willingness on the part Of
narrow section of the country to
crafty racial prejudice and class ha-
tired by fragrant breach of treaty
rights in the form of state law, or by
lawless violence" he said. Congress
should at once assume authority for
the national government to see to IL
that it cannot be dragged into inter.
national difficulties through such blind
seifishness, and this step would be
quite as effective as improving our
military defences. Indeed l think 1t
would be more effective to prevent the
possibility of war.
Congress could delegate power to
the national government to the presi-
dent and federal courts, Mr.. Taft
said, which would insure aliens peace
ful residence and the right to do bus
mess in this country.
While deprecating the mild hys-
tcria' regarding this country's de-
fenses, Mr.. Taft said the army should
he increased from twenty-five to fifty
per cent; the navy insured Of enough
| nen to man the reserve vessels and
new artillery, chiefly for coast de-
| lenses, provided.
"There is no necessity for great ex-
element he said. What should be
done can be done in short time and
with no excessive expenditure.
~Were we to be called into war In
an emergency we would not have
standing army of the size of the stand
/ ing armies of the nations of Europe
or Japan, but we don't need it to re,
sist their attack If we have goo0
4 navy and good coast defenses.

Pm UNDER OWL SERyICE.

Washington, Dec. 12.-One of the
most striking recommendation made
to congress in communication a few
days ago by Postmaster General Bur
Lesson, and one which will meet with
insurmountable opposition from both
the senate and house, is that urging
that all third class postmasters-
is those receiving salaries of from
$1,000 to $4,000 annually-be placed
under the civil service. This PROPOSE
ton, it was learned today, is now be-
ing considered by the house committee
on postof1ces which is holding hear

FxPRNsEs OF BRITT 3 aUDeER.
Mr.. Gudger Spent $6,s75.1O; Mr.. Britt
ss.s7 As for Seat.

Washington, Dec Congressman
Gudger today filed his final statement
of campaign expenses with the house
of representatives showing that he
spent $1,301 in the last ten days Of
! tic campaign
This with the $5,57410 which he
hid previously certified as having
spent, made his campaign cost him
| S6,875.10, probably the largest amount
spent by any congressman in the
United States, and also probably the
largest amount eyer spent by con-
! gressional candidate in North Caro-
| lima.
Of this large amount $5,424 10 was
expended in the two primary contests
against Robert r. Reynolds who ex-
pended, $3s21636. Gudger's expenses
after the primary were 1,451.
Compared to Gudger's expenses
Britt had no expense to secure the
nomination, and spent $2,037.45 to
gain his election.
Gudger was the last of the North
Carolina candidates to file his final ex-
pense account
Washington, Dec. 6.-James ]. Britt,
the republican ongressman-elecC
from the Tenth North Carolina dis
trict, made report of his campaign
expenses which is peculiar because Of
its resemblance to a carefully kept
tookkeeper's account of business
concern.
In his statement Of contributors
end expenditures made on October %,
he declared contributions received to-
falling .$1,151 90, and expenses of ST.
023 .06. In his final statement of De-
cember I, he certifies contributions Of
1882 95 additional, and expenses Of
81, 010.89 additional, which when add
ed are found to exactly tally.
He names several hundred persons
who contributed to his campaign, and
among items is James J. Britt con-
tributed $12545 which makes the ac-
count exactly balance. The account
is gotten up in a very business-like
manner and looks very much like the
W rk of an expert accountant.
Against the total of $6,875 expended
By Congressman Gudger, the latter re-
ceived contributions of $405 subscrib-
ed as follows: State committee, $500;
Charles Miller, $751; Thomas Count,
$25; William Hull, $25; ]. S. Stiles,
$50; C. A. Webb, $50; friend, $40.
