Neglect of Agricultural and Industrial
Opportunltlei a National Crime.
By Peter Radford.
There never aa a time In the his
tory of this nation when we neeuVil
statesmen more or agitators less th:iii
at the present moment. The oppor
tunities now afforded us on land and
sea demand the best there is iu stale
craft and the possibilities that are con
t routing us call lor national issues
that unite the people, build industry
and expand trade. Tho agricultural
and industrial development of lliis j
nation Iibb Buffered severely at tho
hands of agitators who have sent
torpedoi's crashing Into the port side
of business and whose neglect of the
interests of the farmer makes tht'iu j
little less than political criminals. We
want no mora of these evil spirits to
predominate in government. Too long
their hysterical cry has sent a shiver
down the spinal column of Industry, j
Too long bave the political agitators I
capitalized strife, pillaged progress
and murdered opportunity. An indus
trial corpse Is not a desirable thing,
a crippled business an achievement or j
neglect an accomplishment about ;
which any representative of the gov- ;
eminent has a right to boast. ,
Itiuea that Breed Agitators Should be !
Eliminated. i
Tba political agitator must be eliui- j
inaiea trom puuiio lire rjeiore inougm
ful consideration can be given to a
constructive program In government.
The liquor question is the most pro
line breeding ground for agitators and
whether pro or antl, the hatch Is
equally as undesirable. This article
Is in no sense a discussion of the li
quor question but deals solely and by
way of Illustration with the political
products of that issue. Other sub
jects will be dealt with in the order
of their Importance.
In the history of our government
the liquor Issue has never produced
a coiibtnietlvu Hiuteamun worth men
tioning and it never will. It has sent
more freaks to t'ongress, Lilliputians
in tlie Seiiatu and incompetents to
oilicB than any other political issue
under tlie sun.
Tlie recent experience of the Kng
lish Parliament which lashed Itself
Into a fury over tlie llq ior question
has a lesson that it is well for the
farmers of tills nation to observe; for
tlie subj ( i in some form or other Is
constantly before the public for solu
tion and outlines to the exclusion ot
more important problems to the Amer
ican plowmen
Too Many Political Drunkard!.
Lloyd-Oeorge, the Prohibition Iruder
of Europe who led tlie prohibition ticlil
in England, has declared that he will
ue.er agalu take a drink politically
and there are ninny A inn n an politi
cians pro and auti who would render
their country a service by climbing
on the water wagon or signing a pledge
of political temperance. Too otten
our legislative halls are turned Into
political Liir-rooins and many of tho
members become intoxicated on liquor
discussions. We have too many polit
ical drunkards-pro arid antl -In our
public affairs. o one who is a slave
to the political liquor habit is quits
so capable of dealing with the busi
ness affairs of government as the
sober and Industrious. We have few
public men In this day who are Btrong
enough to nsin dm temptation of
strong drink politically and when the
demon Hum once becomes firmly en
trenched in the mind of a politician,
he Is less capable of meeting the de
mands for constructive statesmanship
now confronting this nation.
Wo have in this country too many
red-nosed politicians- both pro and
antl. A candidate with political deli
rium tremens, a preacher with politi
cal snakes in his boots and an agitator
drunk on the liquor question are the
saddest sights in civilization and they
should all be forced to take the polit
ical Keeley Cure.
It Is far moro important In govern
meut to make it easier for those who
toll to eat than to make It more dif
ficult for a few topers to drink. There
Is not one person ill one hundred ot
our rural population that ever touches
liquor but we all eat three times a
day.

THE LAYMAN'S DUTY
There never was a time when
preachers and politicians formed au
unholy alliance that civilization did
not shriek out and Christianity cry
aloud. Since the beginning of gov
ernment, politicians have sought to
decoy the ministry Into the meshes of
politics and make them carry banners
In political processions. They have
taken the ministry to the mountain
top of power and offered to make them
monarch of all they surveyed, and
while most of them have said,' "lift
thee behind me Satan." a few have
fallen with a crash that has shokiu
jvery pulpit In Christendom.

A LOVER'S QUARREL.
His Last Hours Were Consoled
By Her Presence, and His Will
(lives Her a fortune.
That was a pathetic story the
news dispatches carried out of
Denver the other day, about the
old bachelor millionaire on his
deathbed who sent lor the woman
to whom he had been betrothed
forty years ago. When both were
young, and poor, ihey loved each
oilier, and a day was set lor the
wedding. Before it came ihey
quarreled over some trilling thing,
as lovers always quarrel, and in
the heat of anger he went away.
The years went by and James M.
Wilson became a millionaire. But
his love for Carrie 1 lurd remained
and he never married. When he
was dying Ins mind went back to
the sweetheart of his youth, to the
strolls with her in the starlight
down ihe flower-seemed lane, and
he saw her face raised again to his,
and heard her merry laughter, and
there surged into his hears a feel
ing of remorse. Perhaps he had
wronged her in leaving her so,
and a great longing came over him
to see her one more time before
he died, if she was yet alive. No
doubt she had married, perhaps
she had forgotten him. No mat
ter, he wanted to see her. And
so io humor him, they sent word
back there to the old home town.
But she was not there. Long years
ago she had gone away. Where? to
Denver. They found her there,
where she had lived for years, just
io be near ihe man she loved,
where she could see him once in a
while without his seeing her or
knowing that she was near. His
last hours were consoled by her
presence, and his will gives her a
fortune. But that does not atone
for the suffering that a trivial "lov
er's quarrel" was permitted io
, bring inio their lives. Ii is a cu
rious trail of human nature thai
otten men and women will allow
some minor disagreement, under
the stress of a foolish pride, to
bring ihetn misery. Only those
who are really wise learn how es
sential it is to make compromise,
to overlook Faults and failings and
to make sacrifices in recognition of
surpassing value of friendship and
love.

A REMARKABLE STATE.
I he Old North Stute l:oievtr.
North Carolina is a remarkable
State in more than one way, and
in one it occupies a position which
is absolutely unique. This is that
this State has more native born
people a greater per cent than
any other State in ihe nation most
of the other Stales.
According io the last census
North Carolina has a population
of 2,20ti,2S7, and those born in
this Stale number 2,089,278, or
94 7 per cent, while 1 08,805, or
4.9 per cent, were born in other
States, with 6,092, or three-tenths
of one per cent, born in foreign
countries. Sons of North Caro
lina are io be found in every slate
in ihe Union, the estimate being
that about two million of her sons
spent their best days in other states.
That North Carolina has made
a wonderful progress in the years
is a fact known, and this, taken in
connection with her population, is
a mailer to be noted. It shows
that the North Carolinian is a man
of energy and of progressiveness,
thai u is the North Carolinian who
i-i pulling his State to the fore
fioiu. And the record made by
Nonh Carolinians in other Spiir
shows that the North Carolina
spirit is for progress wherever it is
found. The record is indeed that
North Carolina is both a remarka
ble and a unique Slate News &

WHEN IS A WOMAN OLD?
Ou To I 1 here i No Such Thing
As Age.
In Boston recently, in the con
duct of a semi-charitable institution
for women, a distinction was made
in the cases of "young" women.
From this arose ihe question: "At
what age does a woman cease to
be young?" The New York Globe
probably answers it as well as any
body else when it says :
"It is, in this period of ultra
short skins, uln a smart boots, and
uhru saucy hats, a particularly per
tinent querry. Ask the casual ob
server, or the innocent- more or
less bystander, and he will re
spond: 'Nowadays a woman nev
er ceases io be young; she grows
younger, in fact, as she grows
older. The high school girl may
have some lingering notion in
mind that it isn't chivalrous for a
man to smoke in her presence, but
grandma smokes herself. The
college girl may express an inter
est in philosophy, metaphysics,
and like subjects, but her aged
maiden aunt is interested only in
the latest step in the fox trot. The
young woman athlete may express
a hope for the ultimate abolition of
eMxeix ami high heels, hm her
mother's mother has hers made to
order, and wears puny-colored
shoes that lace up the back. The
generations have become amazing
ly mixed and muddled. Go to !
1 here is no such thing as age. "
TRANSIENT.
"Do you keep any servants?"
"No, of course, not."
"But I thought I saw one in
your kitchen?"
"Oh, we have servants on the
premises a day or two at a time;
hut we don't keep them."
