For years, based upon their own sworn reports, the Southern Railway has been levying tritu-.e of over three hundred thousand dollars annually upon North Carolina in xcee of fair 1 and reasonable freight and passenger I charges. The last Legls-Kture. in re sponse to the demand "f tho people. declared that hereafter only reason able charges should be collected nd the annual 1300,000 charge for trib ute should no longer be col'ected out of the people of this State. The men who had been collecting ih.2 trfbute money some of which went to sub sidize newspapers, emplov lawyers and hire lobbyists to make public senti ment in favor of continuing the trib ute on the people naturally .vere un willing to stop collecting it.

Duplin Journal. Bishop Hajl, of Vermont, in a ser mon in Raleigh this week declared prohibition a feature in New England States. He thinks moral suasion the only true remedy, while at the same time the National Liquor Dealers' As sociation is fighting prohibition with all the money it can command and is alarmed at the growth of prohibition. Do the liquor men know better thrn the Bishop? Owners of Money Are Afraid of Wall Street Manipulators. Richmond News Leader. There in plenty of money in the country now. We read that people who took currency from the banks stored it in safety deposit boxes and are keeping it there while gilt edge securities go 'begrflur at prices which make them pay from 6 to 14 per cent. The owners of the money are not afraid of the country or distrustful of Ex-Governor Ay cock Says No Whis key Can Be Legally Sold After the Next Legislature Meets. (Selma News.) "It's gone," said ex-Governor Aycock on the train Sunday afternoon in reply to a question, "there'll be no whiskey legally sold in North Carolina after the next legislature meets." "Do you think it will come that sc--n'." he was asked. "V's," said he. "the sentiment is growing. Why, a few years ago if a man had told me Barnes ycock woull ever vote for prohibition, would have said he was a fool. Now Barnes Aycock tells me that the great est curso that country up there has ever had is those stilly at Fremont, and he says he would vote for State prohibition if he had the chance." Continuing, the popular ex-Governor said: "Why, they say you can And a quart or liquor every hundred yards between Barnes Aycock's and Sasser's Mill." DR. WINSTON'S PLAN.

Remedy: State Banks. Richmond News-Leader. The New York Times makes the point about which there can be no question that clearing house certifi cates, although their circulation is lim ited to the clearing house, are neither more nor less than aset currency. Continuing, our contemporary notes that in respect of the certificates thci quality known to those who exchange them, and that there is no case on record where they have not proved en tirely satisfactory. It can. therefor'.-, see no reason In principle why asset currency should not give similar sat isfaction in general .circulation. The Tlmes g deduction is logical and Irrefutable as its identification of clearing house certificates with asset currency Is correct, and both are un answerable arguments for State banks of issue. While our contemporary does not make it clear that it would In re forming the banking and currency system, substitute a State bank system for national banks, but seems rather Inclined to asset currency as supple- the papers what had happened at the A. and M. at Raleigh. "The idea is an old one, and a good one," said a man from Providence. "Dr. Winston is right when he says that hazing is cowardly, and I thought so when I was at college. When one poor fellow is over-powered by upper classmen and treated to a coat of oil and blacking he should have a chance to fight back. I could not Join a lynch ing party for the reason that it is cow ardly for a party of men to attack on r r two. There is no fairness in it. I was blacked at college but I would like to have resented had I not been over powered." "At the Bingham School at Ashe vi'le boys are allowed to fi?ht out their differences with their fints.

It required English Physician Says Inebriety H Doe to Defect In 3Iental .Mechanism. (From the London Morning! Post ) After a twenty-fivo years study of the Inebriate Dr. R. Welsh.' Branth waite, the inspector under the Inebri ates act. has come to the conclusion so he Informed the i Society for the Study of Inebriety in his Norman Kerr Memorial lecture last night that ine briety is due to inherent defect In mental mechanism, generally congen ital, some times more or less acquired. "Alcohol," he said, "far from being the chief cause of chronic alocholism, is merely the medium which brings into prominence certain defects which might otherwise have remained hidden but for its exposing or developing in fluence. It seems to me exceedingly doubtful whether habitual Inebriety is ever really acquired In the strictest sense of the word, that Is. in the ab sence of some measure of pre-existing defect. In other words, I am scepti cal very sceptical, indeed as to the probability of any normally constituted Individual becoming a habitual drunk ard, even If he permits himself to n dulge occasionally In a fair measure of careless drinking, without the Inter vention of nerve shock or other Influ ence 'ufUciently potent to disturb the equilibrium of nervous and mental mechanism." Of the 2.277 admissions to State and certified inebriate reformatories pre vious to December of last year 62 per cent, were proved, he said, to be either insane or defective in varying degree, and only a little over 37 per cent, could be described as of "average mental capacity." In regard to the Insane Ine briates, the lecturer was satisfied that the majority had become alcoholic be cause of their tendency to Insanity, not Insane as the result of alcoholism, and tnat tne preceding drunkenness was merely precursory evidence of ap proaching mental disorder. Those classified as mentally defective showed certain phyicial signs of arrested or distorted development, such as ab normally small or misshapen heads, ir regularity in the upper or lower Jaw, and deeply placed eyes. Such cases always gav? evidence of impaired de velopment of moral sense. Imperfect control over impulse, and defect in power of judgment. Even In regard to those classified as of "average mental caipacity" it could not be said that they were composed of entirely reformable Individuals; everything depended upon uie degree or mental defect. Dealing with the control and treat ment of alcohol, the lecturer held that "the influences which Incite or strengthen moral resolution are useful only when applied to Inebriates whose mental condition approaches the nor mal.' He considered that drugs were extremely valuable for the relief of unpleasant symptoms during the transition from long continued drunk enness to enforced sobriety. When it became a matter of physical control. the lecturer pointed out that benefit from such treatment was often lost by too long delay In applying It. "Control should be applied before the original defect is increased by added degen eracy. there are conscientious differences J traitors to their faith. The money that there.

Fell on a Rock Pile. (Carthage News.) Little Miss Maurine Montague re ceived very painful injuries about the i words "Tljou Shalt Not Steal." Wall Street Journal. On the bulletin board of a Wall street broker's office the following was posted last week: "Five thousand years ago- Moses came down from Mount Sinai and brought with him a tablet on which was written. "Thou Shalt Not Steal." "Today President Roosevelt is giv ing the same advice and Wall street thinks it is news." This of course, is a plagiarism from Thomas B. Reed, who, a number of years ago. described Roosevelt as a statesman who had "discovered the ten commandments." It was witty, lt is true and it was also a compliment to Roosevelt The ten commandments cannot be preached too much; and certainly no generation has needed more to have "Thou shalt not steal preached to It." This commandment in it applica tion to the conduct of great competi tive business, was In the nature of news.

In every com munity a few men shape the public sentiment for all th rest, and a ma jority of these men get theii opinions at second hand. Last week Mr. Will iam Jennings Bryan made several ad dresses in our State. Today there are thousands of people wild as bucks on the very matters that have been be fore them In the newspapers every day. but restated and tremendously emphasized by a great orator with a wonderful personality.

(Ooldsboro Argus.) The Commercial Hotel- formerly the Bridgers House has passed into the hands of Mrs. Delia Rasberry, recently of Raleigh, who has had long as the whim or savagery of the mo- i experience and much succe In .the ment might suggest. Black eyes and bloody and broken noses are not pleasant, ; but If they 1 are necessary parts of collegiate training, equality and fairness of distribution are prop er. We are inclined to predict that If the faculty will stick to this plan and force every young man who feels it incumbent on him to humiliate or chastise his fellqw student to do lt on fair terms and at the risk of his own personal skin, the Inclination will subside promptly. Usually the senior class does the persecuting and gets away with it. On the North Carolina plan, the senior class seems to have had enough of excitement and exer cise and promptly calls for a cessa tion of hostilities. hotel business.

It seems that William plac ed Johnnie, a boy fifteen years of age. at a certain place to watch while ho was felling a large tree. The tree fell in an unexpected place, falling on and 'nstantly killing Johnnie. In an at tempt to get the boy out of the way. Mr. Helton threw down the axe where the treo fell on it, and the dead boy remained in this condition till another axe could be procured from a neigh bor s house. Death was instantaneous, as the young man never spoke nor moved. The father Is prostrated and the entire community is shocked. you are sentimental. i A good excuse won't go aqy better than a poor one. In leading others to right conclusions the wider heir influence and the greater their power for good becomes. It is a cnlaimty for a man of capacity to destroy his opportunity for helping his neighbor by advocating measures In which he does not himself believe because they may be popular or profit able. But the man who llrst care fully investigates a subject and follaws his conscience in advocating or oppos ing it. may be a factor of tremendous Importance in leading the people wise ly. It soems a pity fhat men who think are ever corrupt, but sometimes they are. and when the blind lead the blind they both fall Into the ditch.
