That jj statement carries with it the fact that gves this paper a primacy among American daily newspapers. The last census give Raleigh a population of h 14,225 and the News and Observer Ljias more dally subscribers than Ila- leigh had men, wompn and children at the last census. There is not j anotner aauy in me imuea nuties ha circulation In proportion to Its popu- Itltliru. x tic giunui k ua viltuiuuwil ho hwn far greater than that of any iness enterprise in Raleigh n receiu years, as the following showing circulation pro- "statement gftisa attef ts: 189.. 2.400 Subwribera. jj . . 3.100 1SUJ. ! 1890. j 1900. 1901. . . 3.100 . . . 4.8H0 . . 5.20U , . . 5.700 . . , 0.50O , .. 7.051 , .. 8.201 . . 0.111 , . . 10,202 . .11,071 . . .12.271 . .12.321 .15,251 1902 1903 1901. 194)5. 19J06. 1007. 1908. 1909. As a matter of fact the News- and Observer has eighty per cent more sub scribers than the North Carolina dJlly having the next highest circu lation and it has six times as many subscribers as It had In 1895. The circulation increase , has necessitated the erection of the handsomest news paper building in North Carolina and thV installation of the best newspaper plant As the K'ews and Observer was the first newspaper in the State to Install Mergenthaler typesetting ma chines, so it is the first to put in a perfecting press with color attach ment It's business brings to Ra leigjh much money, for its circulation is large and literally covers the State from Murphey to Manteo. It gives employment to a large force and is reckoned as one of Raleigh's first bus iness institutions and we might have said "industrial plants" for with the modern equipment it is a factory and is Operated by ths most expensive machinery and best machinists. Plans have been perfected for con tinued Improvements in the paper so that It may not Only be worthy of the 15,000 subscribers but also of securing many more readers and thereby add ing )to its usefulness.' It had a hard and rocky road to, become a solid insti tution. Firmly. established upon the foundation of popular support, the whole, purpose Vbf the management is to show appreciation . of that confi dence by steady improvement and un divided devotion to the welfare of the people, of North Carolina. ; -..TV- PRESIDENT STED3IAN. . The whole State will applaud the governor I in naming Hon. Charles M. Stedman as .president of the North Carolina railroad. He is one of the truests men the State has known.' He was 4 -brave soldier "one of - the bravest that donned the gray." In peaces, he has been a fighter for good goyerhment and for , right principles and for progress ; In 18S4 when he was nominated for lieutenant gover nor on the ticket with Governor Scales in a (period ' when there . was little sentiment u against , public 1 men ' being employed by railroads, Major Sted man in a way that cost him money showed that he. had the true concep tion of public propriety.1- He'Wair at torney for' three important" railways. and before he took the oath of office he resigned all connection with them. He felt that he could do the railroads justice, even . if retained by N them in the courts, but he knew that the finest ense of public duty reauired an officer) to have no alliances that might Influence his Judgment . That action was all the more remarkable at that a.uu . tm uicnuuueu ncre u.m snow ing, the knightly type' of man Major Stedman showed - himself to be In the yi&ru that have followed he has grown In the regard of his fellow citi- sens who rejoice in any honor that comes to him. IS IT LEGAIi ? , The State 'Imposes '-a tax s of forty dollars upon soft drink establishments. Upon filers of "near beer" some cities have imposed a tax as high as $1,000 per year, others $500, others $250 and still -others smaller amounts. Mr. Dan nenber who is Interested In the trade, will bring a suit to test the validity of the high license tax on near beer. . (Last year 'the State Government of Georgia received $227,000 from the manufacturers and. sellers of "near feer." It is evident the business in that State, the first year of prohibi tion, was very, large. The high taxes provided .by some towns and cities are said to be prohibitory and there Is no doubt that some wish such a tax. Itf Is argued that the sellers of "near . beer' ' wlH also sell Intoxicants under (hat name and that the only way to 9revent illicit sales is to forbid the sale also of the near beer and like drinks, y) STILL BORROWING. Senator Newlands has caused to be fput in the Congressional Record of how In, 1900 he attempted to secure the assent of Congress to a tax on corporations, and the proposal of the Dernocnatlc minority of AVays and 'Mean (Committer for such a tax in 1902.

James Yadkin Joyner-'as president of 'hat j body is a distinguished and deserved : honor. The organization embraces ; all the teaching force In America and has been served iri the presidency by the country's' best educator, includ- country's' best educator. Includ- lng such men as Nicholas Murray ( Butler. Mr. Joyner Is the first South- , e.rner to be chosen to that high po sition In a long term of years, if in- deed ho ia not lne ftrst to 80 non. ored. The honor to Mr. Joyner is an As State Super- , i . . i intended of Public Instruction he has Kulned place among the wisest and most rnnni.iA me-n hni.linir. thlf r- i sponsible position in the various States, and it is because he has shown the qualities of an educator-statesman In his hiRh office and in the educational gatherings he baa attended that his fellow teachers have given him the highest honor they could confer. All North Carolina will congratu late Mr. Joyner upon this high honor that has come to him and through him It Is recognition of the progres- i I ie cuutaiivuai uni. iiiai ittsa uku la general awakening and Improvement i in the educational affairs of the State. ; He has from the day he graduated j at the University of North Carolina. ! except a year h turned aside to the ! law, devoted himself to public edu cation, serving as city superintendent, j college professor and State Superin tendent of Public Instruction, and. he has carried enthusiasm and ability and devotion and patriotism Into his work. He has won ills leadership In the State and the Republic by nothing but char acter, brains, service. It must be, therefore, doubly gratifying to him that he has received the same recog nition in the national councils of ed ucators that had already been given him In his home State and by South ern educational bodies. WILL TIIE FAR31ER GET IT? Would the farmera be benefitted by the drawback on cotton tils shipped abroad, which Mr. Overman secured in the tariff bill aa it will pass the Senate? That is his purpose and we had accepted the general idea that it would help the farmera Mr. Ran som Hlnton, a prominent, cotton farm er of, Wake county, thinks It would not His intervew appears elsewhere In today's paper. At present the farmer, gets no advantage from the cotton bagging and ties and Mr. Hln ton thinks he .would , get none from the drawback, but that it would go to the exporter or manufacturer. The money will be refunded under Mr. Overman's amendment but where will the farmer be helped? Mr. Hlnton contends that no help can be given the farmer except' int putting bagging and ties on the free list Just as the Western farmers get binding twine on the free list He is certainly right that such taking off the tax is the di rect way to auit taxing the cotton farmer for the benefit of the trusts. But seeing that Aldrlch would not give such direct justice, Mr. Overman sought to secure a large measure of fairness by his amendment If, as Mr. Hlnton thinks, the farmer will npt be helped by this. Mr. Overman may be even now enabled to force some additional amendment that will carry out the purpose he had in view. CITY OWNERSHIP OP WATER. ; The city of Raleigh, and every other city, should own its own water system. In! every place where there are pri vate water works, the city-must issue bonds to provide sewerage : while' the water company charges the city for the use of water and makes profits. If j a private company gets the profits on furnishing water It should be re quired to pay for putting in a sewer age system. During ' the year ending February 28th. 109, the city of Raleigh paid to the Wake Water Company $4,513.42. Under properly conducted city owner ship, Raleigh could get water for all city purposes practically free and re duce the cost to consumers. The Wilson Times, referring to the state ment pf the superintendent of the municipal owned water system, says: "During the past year the plant has cleared more than $1,000 over and above Interest on the bonds; salaries, supplies and permanent . Improve ments. Allowing a fair amount for fire protection and the use of water by: the city during the past sixteen years the plant has .cleared over $61, OOQ. or in other words the people have enjoyed a low water rate for sixteen years with fire protection thrown In." Before the present contract with thei water works expires,' ' Raleigh should be, ready to do as well by Its people as the Wilson city administra tion does by the people of that enter prising town. RIGHT SORT OF JUDGE. A few days ago a case was beUig tried In Chicago which no respectaBle woman would wish to hear, and it was so bad the newspapers had to cut out the nastlness. And yet the court room was thronged with well Pressed women spectators, society women and girls ip short dresses being much In evidence. The judge was shocked by such unseemly female curiosity an 3 love of scandal and told the women present that ftiey ought not to re main. His advice Was unheeded, and when Jho women "and girls remained,"? the ; judge summoned a photographer and jordered him to take a picture of the scene. Before the picture couTd be made society women and girls The judgo is of the .rltht-sort. women- lack the itnss of decency to crowd into places where .they do not belong. hty cusht to photosraphei and'thslr Jlcjurel printed In all tho i papers, " '.,...':,'; .;..'; e Deav a nwiy retreat, snowing mat v,R., C .,rh m n flnrl insures 5afetV tO Hie Of moiner and that they rwou be ashamed to be photo-1 hiW Jh u j H God-send to women at the critical time.

The Wilson Times makes a state- merit that the Corporation Corifmis tlon should take notice of and promptly investigate. The tobacco farmers are paying tax on their lands and on all the property they own. Is the tobacco trust escaping its Just share share of taxation? The following local item in th Times makes inves- tlgation neccary: "The American Tobacco Company shipped away from Wilson the. latter part of May 173.000 worth of to bacco, sending It presumably to Dur ham and other places whtre they ff.ve atorage warehouses. Since '"wtiu Ytixa uu ine tarn ur hi transit the first day of June It escapes taxation, and In this way Wilson and Wilson county loses over $.1,000. Of course it Is not the purpose of the tobacco trust to have it in Durham by June 1, since the rate there is higher than In Wilson. If this is done systematically over the entire State a large amount of money, probably 1150.000, escapes taxation. "It would seem that the trust, mak ing an it does a profit of 100 per cent, would be willing to pay taxes on the tobacco purchased fromJh. farmers of the State, when they takethelr to bacco at 10c. expend something like 2 fto fnr .tumn. .llnn o nH 1, ing'and sell It at around a xty cents. "it Is not right and there should be a law to prevent this tax evasion." "K'as this $130,000 worth of tobacco taxd In Durham? 'Or was It on the railroad In transit on the first day or Cure and thereby escaped taxation? If so much tobacco was shipped from Wilson "the latter part of May" (June 1st la the day to give in taxes) was tobacco likewise shipped Trom other tobacco markets? j Every man who pays taxes I upon fair assessments has a direct and pecuniary Interest to see that no. others escape Just taxation. The Cor poration Commission should take this matter up with the county authorities and aee that this and other property does not escape taxation. IT IS SO INTERESTING. The Chatham Record stands In Im minent danger of having a suit for damages a suit too, that any enter prising Journal would welcome and admit itself guilty with pleasure. Here is the case as stated by the Recoid: "A little girl In this county stumps her toe nearly every week, and she says that The Record Is the cause of It She goes eevry Thursday to the mall-box on the R. F. D. to get The Record and ut once begins reading it as she walks to the house and be comes so absorbed that she does npt notice where she steps and conse quently stumos her toe!" That Is the best advertisement the Record ever had. It is a very Inter esting paper. Who can blame the girl for her avidity to read its col umns? The Record ought.' at least pay for the arnica and bandages. The Wilmington Star, commending the indictment of sugar trust officials instead of going after the inanimate trust, says Taft's administration Is but "following out "the" suggestions so vehemently made some twelve years or more ago by the Hon. William Jen nings Bryan. Mr. Bryan boldly took the position that to punish a trust the men' who are authors and executors of the methods followed by the trusts, should be put in jail, but the advocacy of such a thing by the Democratic candidate was sufficient to cause him to be regarded as too extreme, un wise and dangerous. ' Ndw the Taft administration, taking advantage of the prodigious failures of the Roose velt administration, are adopting the Democratic way of getting at the bot tom of trust deviltry! o ' - . The eternal book war! Can there be any educational gathering or political convention wftere the book men are not in evidence? The Hearst telegram from Denver that Hon. J. Y.j" Joyner had been elected president of the' Na tional Educational Association con tained this statement: "This is a de cided defeat for the book trust, - as Prof: Joyner made his fight as an anil-book trust candidate." Mr. Pou also has fallen Into an error all too common that a proposi tion to get more revenue from tobacco is "a direct menace to tobacco grow ers." In the meantime the tobacco growers know that the consumer pays the tax. Abolishing all taxes on to bacco, might help the farmer, but he hasn't a scintilla of Interest in whether the tax is six cents or eight cents.

He Vaa tried upon the charge before a local magistrate. Mr. L. V. Morrill appearing for him. His game was so cleverly worked how ever that he could riot be convicted, of fraud, and so was discharged. He had no money but succeeded in getting suf ficient funds to leave town, giving Mr. Morrill a draft in payment of his ser vices, which, by the j way, has never been honored ' ' !' From the Charlotte papera it ap pears that he is stqil fllmflaralhg for a living. About the middle of May he appeared In Charlotte,' locating at the Central Hotel. He l'j r. fellow of prepossessing appearance and good address, is well educated and goes well dressed. Claiming to be a rep resentative of La Sail Er.terislon' Uni versity he soon had the attention of a large number of people who were de sirous of securing such advantages as this institution claims to offer. He sold a full course of instruction in "business administration" and all of the privileges of the course. In cluding 36 special lectures and consult ing privileges for three years. For the course, along with which 12 vol umes of books were also included, he charged $57 to be paid on the in stallment pla'a. In placing contracts he was sur posed to collect $7 in cash, leaving the remaining $ SO to be set tled for on monthly payments. For each new contract he received a com mission of; $10, and his game was, to approach a young mam and offer him a contract free, stating that for adver tising purposes he was allowed to give a few away. The victim signed a regular contract but t Rosenwell would write the word "free1 across its face In large, bold letters, this he would remove by means of chemicals, and send the contract with the Initial payment of $7, the company" sending his commission of $10.
