INCREASE IT'S SCOPE.

The House has before it the opportunity to
add to the scope of the State wide primary bill
which has passed the Senate. If there were no
counties excepted from the provisions of the
bill it would effectively answer the de-
mand Of the people for a primary law which
is really Statewide.
The members of the House whose counties
have been exempted should put them back in
the bill The measure it stands is a good
one, but it be made better one The
House is invited to the task of improving it.
In part it meets the need for legislation in be-
half OF the rule Of the people. 1t should go
the full length.
North Carolina has too long Jagged in the
of the procession III the important mat
ter Of legalized Statewide primary The
House has the opportunity in its hands to give
it one. 1t should seize upon it,

RELIEF THAT SHOULD BE GIVEN

The Senate can well afford to follow the Hous.
in passing the semi mi-monthly railroad pay bin
Such bill will work hardship the rai!s
roads and it will be Of great assistance TO tha
employees concerned. Under the present rules
the railroad workers have to wait longer for
their pay than they can reasonably be expected
to wait.
But they not the only ones interested IN
the bill. Business men in the places where rails
road men live also join in the request for the
passage of this bill. It would be better for them
as well As better for the men themselves for
semi monthly pay to be the rule.
There is understood to be no very serious ORR
lection to the bill the part Of the railroads,
for the employees in making their plea seem ID
have q strong case, the force Of which
it is difficult to overcome This relief should be
given to the men who toll in the railroad shops

EMMETT r. WOOTEN.

It is the death of Emmett K. " Wootei' 'n7

Speaker of the North Carolina House of f'ep-
resentatives has been ushered into the unkho"h'
though the death Of SO high an o1fclai ot tiie

is the death OF the himself whose untiinely

Representatives at thirty-six years OF age one

From, any cause the death Of Emmett Il.
Wooten Of Kinston would have caused pro-
found grief, but that it resulted from an acci-
dent while he in the very strength OF his
splendid young manhood increases the grlef
which is felt by all His going away has taken
from North Carolina who loved the state
devotedly, a whose life had been Of service
to it. And the State grieves the great heart

Worda are but cold vehicles in such hours Of
sadness, but there are hearts in North Carolina

May the love and tenderness Of Him who bore
suffering and for humanity's sake bring

Emmett l.. Wooten sleeps the last sleep. The
Senate and the House in all their membership
mourn, the State SORROWS, close friends greve

must be that upspring il the hearts of all that

PROGRESSION BACKWARD

There should be no tinkering by the Genera?
Assembly with the divorce laws OF North Caro-
lima, unless it be made more effective for the
ending Of divorces. Let lis not make progress
backwards.
The bill which has passed the House cutting
off fifty per cent i'll years Of the period in which
couples who live apart shall be allowed to Sc
cure divorces opens the gates. 1t tends 10 make
easier divorce getting in North Carolina
The Senate should come TO the rescue and
vote down the bill. The period Of ten years of
living apart should not be reduced to FIVE years
The Senate should see to it that this change IS
not made in the law.

MAKE IT PROHIBITION.

The Senate is tomorrow night to take up the
anti-jug, anti-liquor- shipment bill which passed
the House by majority which should overs
power all opposition to it.
The bill passed by the House meets the needs
in North Carolina. The Senate will be doing
the right thing in making the bill into the law.
North Carolina must not stand still on this
great moral question. We must go forward
The people demand it. The Senate should heed
the call which comes from them and pass the
bill to add to the effectiveness of that prohibi=
tion written into the law by a-majority Of over

Joseph Letter, noted wheat operator, testified
IN the New York State inquiry into the in
creased cost of bread that American farmers
hao long been selling wheat for less than pro-
duction cost The farmer, he said has nothing
TO say about prices. Which has been the opinion
OF many all along. The terminal market he
says hxes the price and what can be done in
the terminal market he indicated by describ-
ing his own efforts to corner the market in
1897 and fix the price at anything he might
decide. The spectators use any sort of excuse
TO boost or depress the price of wheat and there
