State that Is as marked and a gratifying as jthe educational revival, beginning in jthe Ay cock ad ministration, : that tore down the Jog school houses and replaced them with modern-school houses' filled them with better teachers,.! and lengthened the school terifh. 'The man to whom the chief credit for this practical In terest In public health Is due Is Dr. Richard H. Lewis, of Raleigh, who for seventeen years has been the moving spirit of the dsTorth Carolina Board of Healtb. Largely because of , hi earnest advocacy, the last Legislature Increased the appropriation to this department, and upon the recommen dation of .Dr.) Liewls the board has chosen " Dr. Rankin, of Wake Forest, to. succeed him as secretary.

At the meeting of the State Medi cal Society InAshevllle, that body .paid high tribute tb Dr. Lewis and put on record Its high estimate of the value ot his services. The action was so unusual and the commendatory reso lutions' so well deserved that this pa per departs from its usual custom and print them in full as, follows: "Whereas, our former and most ef ficient secretary of the board of health Dr. R.

The oniy compensation to the doctor is the gratitude he sees in the grateful face . of the' one who knows the ten sion of the' conflict and the thank fulness or ability to make life bright-. er to a fellow traveller.

Oxford Public Ledger. Democrats, "whre are we at?'f Must, we be blind to the Infidelity ot our Senators? It has reached a stage now : where a: member of the Senate cannot be told by his politics. The Democrats will have to be tagged "We are Democrats," which t will be the only means whereby one can locate a Democrat. The only remedy for this lamentable condition Is to compel the strict conformity to party platform, i . '. It Is Inconsistent Wilkesboro Chronicle. How any one can consistently advo cate a tariff on lumber and the Forest Reserve at the same 0me We fail to see. The fundamental reason for fa voring the one kills the argument In favor ot the other. We do not see how the government can consistently offer a tariff premium to the lumber trusts for the destruction of our tint ber with one hand and then With the other hand forbid the destruction of this timber by the lawful owners of the same. It looks inconsistent to us; Makes a Poor Excuse. " Durham, Recorder. We admit a lack of knowledge about the tariff, but in our opinion Senator Simmons makes a poor excuse by pointing out how W. J. Bryan failed to support the suggestions of the platform years ago. .Suppose he was the only man to keep his promise, he would only have done his duty. and ' the failure of some man years ago does not change the situation re garding his action. In fact he went up against the wrong man when he endeavored to meet such a man as W. J. Bryan. OniMrt Defend; Vote. Washington Progress. Has Senator Simmons lost his head agaiu as Ik did In Charlotte during the !tate " Democratic: Convention? The time was when hi will wa law in North Carolina because the people had fa th in him.

Sinre that time he has continued to blunder and his run seems to be petting a far as -po litical preferment is concerned, lie is trying to defend his votlnjc for pro tection on 'mn ore and other articles. When he sees he mst lay down the office of Senator no doubt he will um pire to name his successor. Should he do so the nuDlic will look upon his favorite with d strust. Give Us Free Lumber.

The treat argument for the Applachlan Forest Reserve was' that It would pre vent the ruthless destruction of our timber In the South and thereby cause greater activity In the lumber business. The day when we shall have no forest timber will not be rfar distant Give us free lumber and iour forests rather than a tariff on lumber -and the de struction or our forests.. This I not a lumber, section any. way. We Just supply our own demand, and that- la all.

Editor Josephus Daniels had wanted to go to the United States SejV ate, the Telegram for one would have wished him well and would have re joiced ? to see him receive that great honor.. But he doesn't aspire to go. a we 'learn from an editorial in ; The News-and Observer of yesterday. As the game of politics ordinarily goes, Mr. Daniels, would inevitably claim some big honor at the hands of the Democratic party, for he has been a loyal, effective, self-sacrificing party man for many years In restraining from claiming an r office for what he has done he has set an example which wilt undoubtedly operate substantially In the direction of elevating the Dem ocratic , party to a plane where prin ciple and the opportunity of service and. not office are the controlling con siderations. -"Committed a Fatal Error. Maxton Scottish Chief. Senators Bailey and Simmons, give as an excuse for helping the Repub licans tn opposition' to the Democratic platform that. Mr. Bryan, when- in Congress, voted against taking off of- State banks of issue the 10 ?er cent "tax the platform demanded because he was afraid his constituents did not favor the repeal. This, in Senator Simmons' case, is equivalent to say ing that he. who was a member of the platform committee which report ed the free lumber plank, voted against that plank, in the Senate be cause he was afraid of the supposed beneficiaries of the tax among his own constituents. This is not the ex cuse of a brave man who is conscious that he is rl?ht. The bravado with which Mr. H. E. CI Bryant clothes him In Tuesday's Observer, must re call to those who were present the brink upon which the senator stood at the last State convention.

Neetls to Get Rack to tle A. B. C. of Democracy. Waynesvllle, Coualer. Because the party platform was not endorsed by a majority vote at the polls is no reason why Mr. Simmons and the rest ., of them should throw down ' their 'guns and rush into the arms of the enemy. The party fought a brilliant flzht for a principle be should not give, up that principle. It cause-defeat "settled on our banners. LTke PaniJfones,' the Courier wishes it understood that-we have just begun to fight. i Wetare fully convinced that the pro tective tariff on lumber Is th- worse thing that could come to our moun tain people, because protection on lumber means destruction to cur for ests.

Let the government pro tect thc lurilber sharps and they will destroy' our forest, but abo'.jkh the protective tariff and we shall save our forests. v Mr. Simmons needs to get back to (he A, D C of Democracy. The Kt agger. ng IUtiw. Puck. fc i . It U dlfflcuV to figure how VIl!am Jennings Eryan. of Nebraska, can be blamed for the betrayal of the Dem ocratic party by certain Southern .Sen ators.. It is a distinct novelty, to see he Immortal principle of Democracy staggering under a b!ow for wh'ch nobody, not even the safest and sanest "conservative. can possibly, hold th long-buffering William responsible. If we mistake, not the reaction of the Southern Senators in frankly aban doning their party's positloft . on the tarirr and lining up wth the stand patricians will prove a mortal thrust. Weak enough already In. their ability to draw vots. "Democratic princi ples" will be weaker than the weak est now that they bear the label of hypocrisy and Insincerity. It was con ceded almost universally last fall that a vigorous, concentrated fight aga'nst tariff abuses was the 'only-method by which the split ar.d torn Democratic party could hore to regain Its Btrength. and now, by the act of norm of its leading members, that chance. In forever gon. Campaign references to tariff reform by Democratic speak ers wi!! henceforth b the sisrna! for eers and hoots.

Democratic Democrats and thre, are plenty of thepi in a!! Drogressive parties know now how much dependence may be placed . on tha old Democratic regime by thoee who are honestly and sin cerely opposed to privilege. The con v'nclng show-down in the Senate this spring may shorten the weary term of years between the utter collapse of the Democratic party in National polities 'and the mounting to power of a party which shall be Democratic in fact, no matter what its name. SlratuoiiH vs. Bryan. Statesvllle Landmark. W hile The,-Landmark is still con eratulatlng Senator Simmons that he has the nerve to stand up against Mr. Bryan, even at this late day when opposition to Bryan is by no mean the offence it once was. it is to be, said again that the Senator isn t exactly fair to Mr Bryan in quoting the latter s vote against the repeal of the tax on State banks as a repu-r diatlon of the Democratic national platform of 192.1 Investigation shows that that particular plank in national platform was recommenda tory instead of mandatory i e., it waa recommended .that tbe tax be: repealed. . Tne plank being a rec ommendatlcn instead of a demand or a direct promise, it would . appear that some latitude , was allowed mem bers of Congress who for personal reasons ooposed it. . In the last' Democratic national convention Senator . Simmons fought forfthere was opposition to him In his own delegation) a place on the platform committee;, and that com mittee submitted a platform, . which was adopted, demanding. the removal of the .duty on lumber, wood pulp, etc. It Is safd now j that the plank was put In at the i Instance e Mr. Bryan and representatives from the treeless States of the West; and that It was opposed by Mr, Simmons and others. Howevr-r that may be, it was recommended and adopted, and so far as we can recall Senator Sim mons offered no open opposition to it. either in the convention or on thrl himn ln th fa m ra I trr TTn1i ha I circumstances. it wouid appear that Mr..
