In a recent issue of The Courier there was ' published the new anti- corrupt practices act. enacted by the last General Assembly. It is in some respects a most excellent law and if properly enforced it will put an end to violations of law in pri maries and at the general elections Any honest man can put a stop to it by reporting crookedness to the authorities and the Solicitor will give his assistance to land in jail those who sell or buy votes or otherwise corruptly influence voter in primaries or elections. There is no use to lament- cry or whine longer about dishonest meth- cds in primaries or elections. The thing to do is to stop it. The new law is broad and covers every viola tion. The dishonest voter can be taugh a lessen he will remember. He should be taught that he is taking a char.ce out of all proportion to the reward. The few dollars he will get for Ms criminal vote will not compensate him for spending the next year or to breaking stone without pay. Crooked dealing can be stopped. How can it be done? If one In every five who votes will make up his mind that dishonesty shall stop in primaries and elections, it will be stopped without a doubt. Let every honest man be on the lookout and determined that no ma is permitted to buy or coerce or bulldoze any one into voting in the coming primary or at any time in the future at primary or at, the general election. THE XEAYSIMPER LAW. Iteaent IHeciKli by ljie Supreme Court As to Taking Paper. Few readers of newspapers fully and clearly understand the laws governing subscriptions. Below is the decision of the United States on the subject; "Subscribers who do not give ex press cctice to the contrary are considered as wishing to- renew their subscriptions . If subscribers order a discontinu ance of their periodicals the pub lisher may continue to send them until all dues are paid. "If the subscriber refuses to take periodicals from the postoffice to .which they are directed he is re sponsible until he has settled his bill and ordered the paper discon tinued. "If subscribers move to other places without informing the put Psheis. and the papers are sent to the former address, the publisher is held responsible. 'The courts have held that re fusing to take periodicals from, the postoffice or reanoving and leaving tthem uncalled for is prima facie ev' 'ecce of intention to defraud. If subscribers pay In advance they file bound to give notice at the end of the time if they do not wish to continue taking it. A Ifeiuedy Jc r hp Hljili Cost olf IiVing. Tue liUb cot t f living confronts net only laboring men throughout the country, but also the business man and the faiiner. Fcr a num ber of years past the price of pure f'od f-tuffs. things absolutely nec-ca-rarv to the nourishment of the physical body, have been unusually nigh. This is also true of clothing d shoes and fuel and rents, until there is general complaint against the high cost of living. Looked at. however, from another viewpoint it Is not the high crt of living that is grinding tl.ie people down. ' Our forefathers did net live the strenur.us life that is so common Loday. Those were the days of the tallow candle, the days of .muddy roads and slow travel; the days of plain living and high thinking. Good roads, the automobile, the telephone, electric lights, theatres, .-movies all tJorts of iced drinks ant fancy flavored creams; and a thou sand and one other things not nt.c canary to the simple life are respon tatlle for the cost of living high. The problem of tbe cost of high (living can only be solved by a re turn to the simple life. 4 How to luiKw Real Silk. A correspondence course in fab rics is given by theUn4versity of Wisconsin.

Court Jfcrixieu of Iht.reM to Ma sons. The Supreme Court has affirmed the lower court in the case of the Scottish Rite Masons for the Unit ed States and its dependencies vs. the North Carolina Grand Lodge of Masons. The Grand Lodge of North Carolina in 1908 adopted and pub lisned a report foom a speclal.xom m -ee findine thathe plaintiff or ganization was not the regularly rec ognized Supreme Couacil of Scottish Rite Masons, the plaintiff "sued for libel and then when the case came up for trial in Winston-Salem, the nlaintlff moved, to amend by chang ing the suit to one for tort. The motion was denied, the case appeal- i'1 and the decision of the lower court affirmed. The case is sent back for trial on the original complaint Mr. Brown's Itcrotil. Jesse IT. Brown, the popular keeper of the county lioiji. was In to see us on Hi steeps, and before he left he told us that during his life of 5 3 years he has never owned e fiddle, banjo, bun or pistol, and had never bout hit but one pocket knife during all these years. He says that he never killed but one squirrel with a gun (but has kliled hundreds of boomers with rocks); never caught but one fish with a heck, but failed to say how many he had seined and grabbled. Tthis Is certainly a record that would be tard Indeed to duplicate, by mountain boy, especially. Boone Democrat. Seriously Hurt.

In an hour or so after the injury he was taken ouite ill and became unconscious and was taken to a hos p-'tal at High Point, where the physl cians pronounced him two weak for an peratlcn and that restoration to health was impossible Later: Wednesday morning he was considered a little better. BEASLEY VS. PAGE Before Jury of the People Mr. R. F. Eeaslpy of Monroe, taiuliiiate lor Congress to succeed Mr. R ,N. page from this district, luade three speeches in the coun ty last week. For the benefit) of our readers we give a synopsis ,f the arguments of Mr. Beas-ley. not attempting to t-ive any speeoH in full, but merely the line of argu ment used by him. At the very beginning, the fram ers of our Constitution saw that if the masses of the people were to be faiily represented in Congress it was necessary that representa tives be elected for short terms to they provided that the Lower House of Congress should be elect ed every two years. It was de signed that the Representative should come up fresh from the pecple every two years, pulsing with the faith, the hopes and the wi.-hep of the masses of the people back home who were engaged In their daily avocations. ar.d not hav ing time to look after public mat ters. If a Representative stays too lcng in Congress he is apt to lose touch with the people. And when he gets more anxious to hold his place than to serve his people he has office-holding palsy, and ceasps to be a leader, who is 'always ready to strive for the welfare of the ev eryday citizen back home In his store or followlnw his plow. He ceases to ask -what can I do for my people, but asks. "How can I do the least to give offense and hold my office?'' He begins to feel like the office belongs to him and not to the people. IN'ow and then 'some really big man holds office a long fcime Itcause he makes a place in influence and leadership, and by his services and fidelity and usefulness, reflects honor upon himself and his people. iMr .Page has nilrsed a great op ritunity to be of service to his people. He Is a man of wealth, he l.as held office c long ttme. re ceiving a large salary. He and his sen draw nine thousand dollars a year out of the public treasury. He has had a great opportunity to study public questions, to lead the people, to stand for and f!g;ht for the, great causes that mean so much for the welfare of the people. Had he done tltfs he could have oetn of great service and useful ness and would have been more thai a mere salary-drawer. But he has net identified himself with any great question or effort, either In State or Nation. He has taken no part at all in the great struggles fcr better educational advantages, nor for prohibition, nor for better freight rates, nor for agricultural ; ; WK- 'il M S .., 1 Wl Mil ; T- v:c Let E Rot Your Compost I am the champion rotter of the world.

He has failed to strengthen his par tv jn his district and it is now in wurte tuape man wnen he was nrst elected. He claims now to be in favor of State-wide legalized pri maries, nut lie never sought to get one passed by the Legislature. It is true that Mr. Page has generally votea ngnt upon questions that were forced upon li lam. but it is a pity that he has never tried to do anything himself. He is now a Wil- Bcn man. but when Mr. Wilson needed his help he did nothing for him. He is a Bryan man now. no doubt, but. when Bryan needed help work of making the Demoratic and enouracement In his ereat party responsive to the will of the people., he gave htm no help. Mr. Page Is not in sympathy with the farmers, evidently, in their co operative enterprises, for he has done nothing to help them on. The Greensboro News, after an inter View with Mr. iage on the subject of the attempt to clasa the Farm ers' Union and the labor organiza tions t-.s trusts said that the sub committee, of which Mr. Page was any legislation that sought to ex a member., was openly oppose! to empt such organizations from tha poneratimn of the trust law. and that Mr. Page stood where he had always stood on this subject. If he hag ever done anything fori the farmer, except send out worthless .seed at public expense, no one has ever heard of it. Mr. Page is now writing letters to the people of this county telling mem mat ins puwtc duties are so great that he can't get out to see thenu, Sonie men arer petting- two letteis on the same day. One far mer got two letters tns same day and didn't read either one of them. Mr. Page could easily have arrang ed so that he would have time to t-ee the people it he had wanted to see them. His friends were In charge of the district committee which called the primary on the 16th of May. Beasley wanted the primary in Augutt hen the farmers would have time to 0 out and vote, but Mr. Page's friends wouldn't wait. Congress will no doubt ad Juann In June- and with a primary in August Mr. Page could hava had plenty el time. But the truth Is. he did't want any time. He wanted to plead this excuse and sit in Washington and write Soft-Soap let ters. He is a great letter writer. ters just before the election, tut -lap 1? sjatajnj q 8durBj8 m forgets them In the meantime. Mr. Beasley said that he had never seen the time that the sal vation of the country depended npon his voting the Republican titektt. that he had never made a promise that he did not fulfill, and that he never told one man one tbdng and another man another thing He was one of the first Wil son men In North Carolina, ami had a letter from Mr. Wilson thank ing hUm for his work. The farmers and working men who keep up with public questions know Beasley and are for him. There Js a general feert Ing of all classes all over the dis trict that Mr. Page haB been in Congress long enough and the is sending out cannot step the wagon load of soft-soap letters he feeling. He has not come up to ex it mets of things that Jf he Is nom inated the djMrict would be in man in office forever unless he danger of going Republican. Demo makes good. It has been talked over this dis trict for a long time, said Mr. Beas ley. that ro maji need oppose Mr. Page who was net able to spend a great deal of money to gel elected. The Democrats of the district ought to resent this insult and stand by the man who dares to make the race, in defiance of such -sentiment. If the offices are only for the wealthy. e had as well quit call ing this goverinpient one of the people and by the people, for a man of moderate means will have no chance. Mr. Page has not dealt franklv and fairly with the Democrats of t jls district. He has outraged the sense of justice, political decency and party principles. He has re ceived more honor and given less service in return than any Democra who ever held office in North Car nJiia. It makes a great deal of dilftie.BR to the people whether they keep the doors of opportunity open to their sons and their neigh bors' suns. Because there has be& an impreslon in this district that Mr. Page had it gripped by Ahe throat, no (man has dared -, run against hta. yet judging his fu ture by his past, he would, never be of any great service if he stays in Congress all his life.. In a signed article last week W. J. Bryan said that the four great Ihirgs inlet muit etlil be watched oy Democrats, because the Dart salvation depended upon handling them correctly In beJialf of the. people, were; The Railroads which are still ppposing effective regula tion. Second, the Trusts, which vill die hard If at all Third. ha Money Power, which though crip jpled by -the currency measure., la Ptnj potei.t and in danger of over coming its good effects. Fourth. lie Liouor Interests, whir-h ar fighting the extension of prohibi tion. What has Mr. Page ever done or said agaist either of these? Has he ever spoken for railroad regula tion? His ideas on the trust auc tion are so hazy that he seems tn think farmers' organizations and tnouid be Included in the law. In railroad workingmen brotherhood all lils long years in Congress has he ever raided his hand or votoa against tne sinister subtle and all- pervading influence of the money trust?. What has he ever don against the liquor traffic? Mr. Page's lamentable failura four (years ago on the stiump when ne naa a young and Inexperienced debater opposing him. showed that he could ont successfully defend strong and able Republican whlc is suae to be put out against him. He has too (many apologies and ex cuses to make, It is time for the Deanccrsts to have a nominee in .Up district who can meet a Re publican opponent. NOTE.
