A BLOCKADE DEFINED.

The following from the Galveston
News is the most perfect definition
and illustration Of a blockade we have
yet seen:
when the flow Of a river is stop
ped we have a troublesome accumula.
ton Of backwater. II backs up the
creeks. and from the creeks 1t pushes
into the brooks and branches and
rills and bitches, and sometimes GOV.
ers the fields. When ships to other
countries are stopped, the local craft
that carry the loads to them are
stopped and SO are the loaded trains
and even the loaded wagons back on
the farms. When one street car is
brought to standstill, see how quick.
ly the long line Of standing cars &C.
cumulates, reaching back mile or so.
Well, let US prevent something Of that
sort from coming to us because of
Germany's warning concerning the
barred zone"

for the simple reason that his obliga-
tion would be exempted from . public
charge. or duty. imposed on every
other obligation. The reason for do
ing this by means Of = constitutional
amendment IL doubtless that q con-
stitutlonal amendment would afford
investors . greater assurance against
being taxed at some future time than
statute would.
Such . law would be In the nature
of public subsidy granted to direct

feet of doing this is we'll understood.
There Is never q session Of Texas
legislature that two proposals do not
make their appearance, one to subject
farm mortgages to taxation and the
other to exempt cotton mills from tax
alton. And the paradoxical circum'
stance is that both proposals are
prompted by the same general objects
Ito promote the farming industry, in
one instance, and the cotton mill in.
dustry, in the other. That contrary
treatments must produce contrary re-
suits ought to be fairly obvious, but
that the truth is not recognizable by
every one is testified by the fact that
during every legislature taxation is
prescribed to promote one form Of In.
dustry while exemption from taxation
is prescribed to promote another
Which Of these prescriptions is the
sovereign one is as evident as 1t is
that men will prefer those invest.

turn and are made the most secure

CONVERTING TENANTS INTO
LANDLORDS. W

Hundreds Of schemes have been
proposed to enable tenants to become
home owners, some with merit and
many without merit. The Eagles
plan, while homely, IL we believe the
only sure way. and that Is to work
hard and save every penny possible
during the years necessary 70 pay the
home out Of debt. A number Of
schemes proposed, however. have
merit to them as aids to the man who
il struggling to pay for home. Like
the Galveston News, The Eagle be.
lieves the following. proposed by the
governor Of North Carolina and de-
scribed by the News, is the best we
have yet seen: H-jf
Thomas w. Beckett who became
governor Of North Carolina Q short
time ago. has as his chief, ambition
the translation Of the tenant into a
landlord to use his own phrase. That
Of itself is not very noteworthy. The
steady increase Of tenantry and the
obtrusion Of its III consequences have
forced this problem on practically
every governor in the South. and most
Of them have suggested measures
more or less practical fof stranslating
tenants into landlords What distin.
guishes Governor Beckett Id this re-
spect Il the homely simplicity Of the
measure he has proposed to the North
Carolina legislature. It Is merely that
II submit to the people q constitu.
tional amendment exempting from
taxation notes and mortgages given in
good faith for the purchase Of home
In an amount not exceeding $4,000
and running more than 20 years.
1T is not likely that Governor
Beckett has offered his legislative
prescription under guaranty that II
will translate tenants into landlords
But II he has promised that 1t will do
more than most measures OF modern
Invention to make landlords out Of
tenants. he has made a pledge which
will need no underwriting. His idea
10 merely the compound, Of two or
three elemental and obvious facts
which have fallen into'n disrepute,
probably for the reason that they are
elemental and obvious. One Of these
10 that II tenant IL to become a
landlord he must be enabled to Dor.
row money at low rates and for long
terms. Another is that II he Is TO be
enabled to do this special induce.
ment must be offered capital to serve
his needs. The Inducement proposed
by the North Carolina governor is
that the mortgages and liens given
to secure money advanced to a man
for the single purpose Of acquiring a
home should be exempt from taxation.
IL Is probable that few II any other
forms OF investments are thus favored
In North Carolina. Most evidences OF
Investment are probably subject to
state. county and municipal tax levies.
The result would be. II North Caro-.
lima should adopt such an amendment.
that the tenant seeking to buy a home
would become a kind OF preferred
claimant to capital seeking invest.
ment' II would take his obligation In
preference to the obligation Of man
seeking loan for any other purpose.

very little. He would often scream

his temperature would run up TO
hundred and three and a hundred ard
four. He never seemed to feel like
playing around at all

bottles OF the medicine have made in
Charles. Hes now eating like a pig.

back hurting him now, he sleeps all
