Plana for the reorganization and
perpetuation of the Progressive party
as a National political organization
were adopted at Indianapolis, Ind.,
Thursday, at a conference of Bull
Moose representatives. The con
ference, after a heated discussion,
decided it would be impracticable to
reassemble the Progressive National
Convention and fill the vacancy on
the national ticket caused by Theo
dore Roosevelt's declination of the
nomination for President. Instead
the organization will put up au elec
toral ticket in every State where there
is the nucleus of an organization
left, bearing the naino of John M.
Parker of Louisiana, noiniueo for
Vice-President, in the hope of, per
haps electing enough presidential
eloctors who might prove the bal
ance of power in the event of a close
contest between the two parties.

in New York.
Iu North Carolina the revenue
from inheritances in 1!'14 was
$11),89'.i. Thirty-two States de
rived a larger revenue from this
source. Six of these were South-
i«rn States, an follows: Viiginia
$42,000, TOXIIH $411,000, Oklahoma

It (IOOH not yet amount to much in
North Carolina.
In Kansas, Nebraska, Ohio, and
Wyoming the inheritance tax
revenues go into the county treas

In California $260,000 of the in
heritance tax money went last
year into the public school fund,
$176,(*00 into the pension fund for
teachers, and the balance,
1175,»(>«) into the general fund of

The first Slate to levy a tax on
inheritances was Pennsylvania
290 years ago.
Only six States have no inherit
ance tax; South Carolina, Florida,
Alabama, Mississippi, New Mexi
co and Khodc Island.
These details of information arc
gleaned from a speech in Con

REFLECTIONS ON THE FLOOD
Chapel Hill News Letter.,
Most of us would never do any
thinking at all, if we were not
started out of a vegetative exis
tence by massive and spectacular
events.
The recent flood disaster in our
mountains are an illustration in
point. They are so appalling and
appealing as to arrest popular at
tention; but commonplace, cum
ulative cause have been for years
setting the stage for this tragedy
and no warnings whatsoever have
beeu sufficient to arouse general
public interest and set in play
policies for adequate prevention
and protection.
But enormous losses have now
overtaken railroad , authorities,
hydro-electric companies, and
mill and factory owners. Capita)
is intelligent and sensitive. In
vestors have been a keen sense of
futurity, and dividends must bo
insured against calamity. The
industrial development of our
Hill Country is at stake,|and flood
devastation like this must never
occur in this if it cau be humanly
prevented.
Had Farming and Had Forestry.
The commonplace causes are
two: (1) bad forestry methods on
the pai;t of our timber companies
and (2) bad methods on part of
our farmers. Together they have
decreased the amount of slow and
safe underground drainage that
is promoted by wooded areas and
year-around cover crops.
The lumber companies have
savagely stripped our mountain
slopes bare of timber and left the
slashes ready for forest fires from
any chance spark. Our Hlil
Country farmers have failed to
make this region what nature in
tended it to be—a pasture land
paradise, an area of ham and ba
con, beef and mutton production,
a dairy farming region filled with
silos, cheese factories, creameries
and condenseries, a live stock re
gion protected by permanent pas
tures to the mountain tops, and
by well built terraces for crops
that r»quire clean culture.
Inevitable Penalties.
These are the causes that have
decreased underground drainage
iu this region and increased the
swift, destructive, overrun in sea
sons of heavy rainfall. Asa resnlt
crops are destroyed and iu cer
tain areas the people face starva
tion. But also*!ho hill side farms
are gone and unprotected spaces
set iu clean cultured crops are
bare to the rocks below. Bottom
lands are covered with silt, sand
and debris. Power sites are de
stroyed; mills, factories and
bridges have floated off like straws
and Improved pnplio highways
ami railroad tracks have beeu
torn up for hundreds of miles; in
dustries have been crippled or an
nihilated; an a heavy burden laid
upon the shoulders of taxpayers
j for years to come.
I)iltn»lve Intelligence.
HUM not the time couio to regu
late our timber companies with
reiiMouable statutes ami adequate
supervision, and to develop a well
supported, effectivo forestry poli
cy? If ton million dollars in bond
issues will prevent a repetition of
such a disaster it would be a wise
investment.
And intelligent,self-interest will
surely bring organized big busi
ness uito co-operation with the
utfiuntaiii farmers, to establish a
proper system of hillside farming,
and to reward them with abund
ant market facilities and reason
able profits in the required new
order of mountain agriculture?
Farm and homo demonstration
agents are needed in every moun
tain county; baby-beef clubs, pig
and poultry clubs, ham and bacon
factories, cheese factories, cream
erica and condenseries, s'ock
breeding associations, county
fairs, cattle shows, improved high
ways, co operative market and
credit uuions, roil road facilities,
conveniences, and advantageous
rates.
Ilobsoii's Choice.
All those forms of agriculture
can tlourish in our
gions; but not, unless the farmers
can market their products at a
fair price and profit. Which is to
say, a proi>er hill country farm
system waits upon the intelligent
assistance of organized big busi
ness—railroad companies, powqt
companies, timber concerns,
hauks, mill and factory owners.
If we do not revise our systems
of forestry and farming in the
mountain country, every dollar
that big business has invested in
this region is increasingly in peril
year by year.

There is great satisfaction
among the Alumni and Athletic
circles of the College generally in
th» election of Mr. H. E. Atkinson
HH assistant coach and gymnasium
dire tor for next year. Mr. At
kinson lias made a splendid record
this summer as pitcher of the
Durham team and is considered
one of the best all-round athletes
in this State. Before his advent
into professioaal baseball "Big
Hoy' or "Deacon" or "Parson" as
he is indiscriminately called in

habit of pitching Elon teams to
victory in her intercollegiate
games, lie was also centre in the'

seasons, during which time th'f

over the outcome for athletics this

The next important matter that
is yet unsettled in respect to inter
collegiate athletics this year is the
pending arrangement with Yale
to play Elon in the city of Greens
boro during the Easter vacation
season when Yale plans to make
a tour of the Southern States. The
latest word from Yale's manager,
Mr. E. J. Winters, who is sum
mering at Holyoke, Mass., is to
the effect that he will conclude
arrangements with the Elon var
sity baseball squad if dates and
other technicalities can be ar
ronged. alt is not certain that Mr.
Winters will bring the represent
atives of Old Eli to North Caro

do so and says he will bo glad to
make arrangements with Elon be

"Safety Firet"-What it Means in the
Home.
Safety Engineering.
Solomon said: "Wisdom is the
principal thing, therefore get wis
dom, and with all thy getting, get
understanding." In what better
manner can this wisdom be used
than in getting a good undet
standing of the best ways in which
to safeguard our home?
A home to bo perfectly safe
should have a good foundation.
First of all, it must be built on
the principle of cleanliness. Clean
liness should be practiced by every
housewife. The house should be
kept clean. Care should be ta
ken that no decayed vegetables
are allowed to remain In some se
cluded corner of the pantry.
In a home whore there are chil
dren, care should be exercised to
keep matihes out of the reach, of
inquisitive little fingers. In a
neighboring city the mother of
two little tots left them alone in
the honse for a short time. On
her return she was horrified to
see her 3-year-old boy enveloped
in flames, from which he died a
few hours later. Had she put
into practice the principle of
"Safety First," by putting the
matches under look and key, if
need be, the parents would not
now be mourning the loss of that
little life.
The practice of filling4he gaso
line stove while burning is very
dangerous. Many lives are lost
each year in that way. The gas
oline stove, at its best, is a danger
ous convenience. The day is not
fat distant when it will be dis
carded for the electric devices,
which are being perfected in such
a manner as to make the cost of
operating nominal.
Compliance with the laws of the
by painting the gasoline can
red would prevent the mistaken
use of gasoline for kerosene,
which is another cause of the loss
of a great many livts and. the
burning of many homes.
The practice of keeping poison
ous drugs in the household medi
cine chest is another source of
many accidents. It may be seen
from the instances mentioned that
"Safety First" should occupy a
prominent place in every home.
It is as necessary there as it is in
the largest factory or shop.
BUMPER BABY CROP
75,612 Babies Reported Born in North
Carolina Last Year.
According to preliminary sta
tistics compiled Aug. Ist by the
Bureau of Vital Statistics, there
were 75,612 babies born in North
Carolina in 1915, says State Board
of Health Bulletin. This is equiv
alent to a birth rate of approxi
mately 31 per thousand of popu
lation. This birth rate is con
siderably above the average birth
rate reported in the United States
and is particularly gratifying
when we note that during the
same period, 1915, there were only
0,807 deaths reported from babies
less than one year of age, or ap
proximately 9 per cent, of the
babies born during the year.
While ordinarily this is a much
lower percentage of deaths than
would be expected in a State with
a mixed population, and while it
is much lower than that reported
by the average in the registration
area, we believe that the greater
number ot these deaths were pre
ventable and as health conditions
improve in North Carolina we may
confidently expect a correspond
ing reduction in the percentage of
baby deaths reported.
Some interesting facts about
the baby death rate are that the
counties having the highest death
rates were in general those coun
ties known to have one or more of
the following conditions: First, a
low percentage of white popula
tion; second, a low per capita
wealth; third, a high percentage
of illiteracy and, conversely, those
counties having the lowest baby
death rate in general have the
greatest per capita wealth, the
best schools and the largest per
centage of white population.
It is predicted that it will be
nearly three weeks before trains
will be running into I,enoir again,
says The Landmark.
