forty-fibst volume.
With this issue the Timks enters
upon its forty-first volume. For this
long period it has exerted its every
effort for the upbuilding of the town
aod_ community and we t re pleased
to sathat its efforts have been appreciated
by the merchants who
have given us a liberal patronage,
and also by the maDy readers who
are always speaking in its praise,
To the litter we will say we
have not spared either time or money
? in trying to give them one of the
most live publications issued in the
stale, and with your continued
patronage and support we propose
to enlarge our efforts in this derection
the coming yeat. W e hope to

will be a great interest to all our
country readers, and invite you to
assist in malting tbe Times a record
of all happenings.
To our advertisers we ^xtend our
thanks for their liberal support in
the past and most sincerely solicit a
continuance of the same. It is by
your support that our fight for the
advancement of home has keen
made effective and with a united
support in the future we can push
forward at a more rapid pace this
year. There is no doubt but that
the merchants of Louisburg have in
the Times one of the best local advertising
mediums in tbe slate as
only few papers enjoy a circulation
equal to ours.
For the cotningyear we propose
to follow in the footsteps of our
_ past as best as we can. It shall be
our purpose to "consider the home
and interests of our readers in the
selection of the matter that goes
into our columns, both advertising
? and reading, and, with their help,
propose to guard our merchants in
tbe intrusion of the mail order bus
iness, by keeping our readers informed
as to the real conditions. It
is no hard matter to fill our columns
with advertising but when the interest
of our readers and home are
taken into consideration it is quite
an expensive proposition.
Since our last birthdav we have
added, as you have dfeen, a comic aec
tion, which we expect to continue
monthly.^ Thia ia an expenaive addition
and we hope onr many readers
wilt appreciate our efforts in aecurlog
the latest tUHtUiei (ui llieii benefit
and pleaaure.
W iahing each of you a moat prosperoua
year and assuring yon that it
abali be onr aim at all times to give
our readers the largest amount of
the best reading we can get, and
our advertisers the largest possible
circulation and lelurns for their
money we hope to remain
Yours to serve
A. F. Johnson,
Editor and Manager.
President Taft is being all his
power to get the Senate to ratify
Canadian reciprocity, which makes
the old standpatters squirm.
Republican forecasters are eerT
tain tbat we have a big tariff Storm
coming; but they may be no more
*. accurate than the veather bureau
and the ground bog.
kfe "=='
Colonel Roosevelt says: "Tb%
Republican party mutt be progreeaive,
otherwise it haa no warrant
for existing at all." list's wipe the
G- O.vP.Tjnt of existence anyway^
it has long since passed iu usef ul
ip" ^ ttt
Tbk Republican party leaders in
Congreea are becoming more (actional
day by day, so that not eyen
a party eauaua will hold them down
to the party agreed upon.
The great growth of the United
States has been mainly due to the
free trade between the states; so
why not reciprocity?modified free
trade?between United States and
Canada ? >
Tnt Baltimore Republicans are
helping the Democrats secure the
next Democratic national convention
as they don't expect to save anything
cut of the wreck of their own
party.
Tub Massachusetts Senate baa
endorsed the Canadian reciprocity
treaty, and the standpat llome Market
Club of Boston advises rejecting
it. What will Senators Lodge anil
Crane do ?
Skkxtok Coumins as left some
j of the ineutgents iTT the torch by declaring
that he will not only vote for
extending the treaty to manufactured
products. Cummins always
did keep 'em guessing.
Somehow, one hardly " feels like
trusting the future financial destiny
of the United States to Representative
Vreeland, although he was selected
by Senator Aldridge as deputy
chairman of the Monetary Commis
aion, for he has always been too much
wrapped up in the doings of the
frenzied financiers of Wall street.
That good old farmer, James Wilson,
Secretary of Agriculture, strikes
back of the partisan Republican
Grange leaders by declaring that
Canadian reciprocity and free trade
will be of great benefit to the farmers
of the United States. It was
not very long ago, however, that he
preached a different doctrine.
President Taft has one argument
for free trade in tarm products
that cannot be gainsaid: that "the
cost of prod uction in Canada is about
the same as here," and we all know
that the elevators handling wheat
get a fair profit, if not, more; so, reciprocity
is not oppose^ to the tariff
plank of the last national Republican
platform.
Representative Fordnet, of
Michigan, one of the shining lights
of the ultra-standpatters and a member
of the Ways and MeanB Committee,
says he "will openly criticise
Canadian reciprocity in his next
campaign as un-republtcan, as tt
i takes down the bars of protection."
| Perhaps by that time bis conatitu
| ents may become awake fenough to
I criticise Fordney.
The Grange leaders seem to be
I out of touch with the resolutions
| adopted at the last annual meeting
ot the National Grange, which specifically
declared that it favored 'the
negotiations ot commercial treaties
: which will open up new markets for
' American pruUuutn ami do?away
with the tariff wars'which now shut
our farm products out of many foreign
countries."
THE LEGISLATURE.
The workings ot this branch of the
State's government seems to have
been about the same the past week
as heretofore?not taking up much
time with matters of general interest.
The time for considering the
Torrens land title system has been
postposed indefinite)v. .We notice
among; the local bills that have
been introduced and passed different
readings, affecting home and
adjoining communities, the following
:
To allow Vance county to improve
pnblic roads.
To allow Louisburg to issue bonds.
To fix compensation of County
Commissioners of Franklin county.
To provide for good roads in
Nash comity.
The committee adjourned before
taking action in the matter of Hanson
and Jarvia counties.
TAXING THE MAGAZINES.
Everyone knows that PoatibasterGeneral
Hitchcock is a Republican
partisian of the type that . is. known
Ilk.,,,.
- * w;tt wxr-yqprr *
| as a "prartKStd politician." He n f
stalwart and, therefor*, opposed tt
all grades of insargents, near-insur
gents, or progressives. When In
was managing the Taft campaign, a
chairman of the National Kepublicai
Committee, the critioism and pro
gressive utterances of most of thi
popular magazines on the tariff ant
other political issues were gall sin
wormwood to Hitchcock. He sough
for an opportunity and an excuse tt
hit back at these magazines and a
the same thne crush oat inBurgenc
in the Republican party. He fount
the excuse in the laudable object o
reducing government expenditure
and putting the poBtoffiee do, art
ineni on a self sustaining bu. is.
Therefore Mr. Hitchcock or somt
| of his subordinstes conceived tbt
j idea of taxing the popular mag ;
i zines out of existence by charging 4
cents per pound postage on the ad
vertising pages, but retaining th<
the one cent a pound rate on thi
pages containing reading inattei
only.- As most of the magazines
have many more pages of advertis
than reading mutter, the 300 pel
cent increased!! postage rate would
be prohibitive.
It is charged iu a special article
sent out by tbe United Press thai
the object of tbe increased and discriminating
postal rate is political:
"it is a carefully matured plan of the
| Taft Administration to stamp out
I the Progressive Republican movement
by depriving it of publicity
and its medium for the spread ol

1 throttle a free press succeeds, we
may expect other methods will be
| tried to curtail the circulation ol
Democratic and other newspapers
that oppose Republicanism and "the
interests" it serves so well*
Opposition to the plan should be
united and overwhelming on the
| broad grouud of liberty of the press,
tail play aud honest politics. No
press censor will ever be tolerated
by a free people.
