Notice to Oar Subscribers.
Washington, D. C.
October 19, 1912.
Publisher of The State Dispatch,
Burlington, N. C.
Sir:
Your attention is invited to
amended paragraph 3, section
436, of the Postal Laws and Re
gulations, appearing in the Dec
ember, 1911, Postal Guide, read
ing as follows:
“The right of publishers to
extend in good faith credit on
subscriptions is recognized and
wiM not be abridged, and al
though all subscriptions are
regarded as expiring with the
period for which they were ob
tained, nevertheless, in order to
give an opport.unity to secure
renewals, copies oi ihtiir publi
cations will be h,ecer.!i! ed for mail
ing as to subscriberh at the usual
second-class rates of postage for
a period of one year from the
date of expiration but copies sent
to persons after one year from
the date of the expiration of their
subscriptions, unless such subs
cription be exfressly renewed
for a definite time, together with
an actual payment of subscription
or a bona fide promise of pay
ment, wiii not teiaccepted at the
pound rate, but will be accepted
at the transient second-class i*ate
of one cent for each four ounces
or fraction thereof, prepaid by
stamps affixed. ”
The purpose of this regulation
is to give publishers a reasonable
opportunity to secure renewals of
subscriptions, and at the same
time relieve the postal service of
the burden of carrying copies of
publications as to subscribers at
the usual second-class rates of
postage to persons who are not
such in fact.
The order that the Department
may ascertain whether the
regulation is being uniformly
complied with, you are requested
to furnish, with regard to the
circulated of the next issue;^ of
your publication, theinformiation
asked on the reverse side of this

How T. R. Would Curb Trusts.
To make plain his trust pro
gram, which has been distorted
by Governor Wilson, Louis D.
Brandeis and others, Theodore
Roosevelt has issued a statement.
He says:
“I ana in favor of new laws or
of the amendment of the Sher
man law to provide'such sj pel-
\ision as contained in the La Fol-
lette-Lenroot amendments; I
would provide in sthe statute
iii.ov'isions which said this thing
is wrong, or that thing is w rong
I would not have left to the guess
or judgment of any man or men
the determination of what was
wrong or right, or reasonably
wrong or reasonably right.
“If for instance, a corporation
should be found crushing out
competition by refusing to sell
when the patron bought/ of com-
petitiors, or by underselling in
district, or in the dozen of other
ways that congress should learn
were being practiced and 'should
say were illegal, I would have
the statute say pointblank, with
no loophole for escape, that the
corporation w^ gulity.
‘ I would have a commission
enforce the law, much as the
interestate commerce commission
enforces the railroad rate and
rebate laws, with power to see
that the statutes were obeyed.
“I would have the commission
empowered to put men on the
books of acorporation whose acts
were questioned so |that the res
ponsibility of that ^corporation
and Sts methods of conducting
business would be at all times
within the view of those whose
duty it is to enforce thalaw.
“In short, and urging that the
widest publicity be given my Mil
waukee speech in which I defind
this thing, I would have congress
provide a law Lon its books that
would define what was wrong,
so t^at a corporation would know
before engaging in any act
whether it was or was not violat
ing the law.
“Then I would provide this
industrial commission with funds
and power to put men on the
Fathm' Curren and Colonel, ^ . .
Roosevelt are warm friends. The readiy every order given
colonel has visited him several .
times, and only recently came - dsvotion to duty and
here to attend his silver jubilee^®^^®®®”®^.^”^^*'^®,he won the
esteem of his comrades.
Before he le ft Father Curran
issued the following statement:
,The whole civilized world
stai ds aghantat the murderous
and cowdarly assault upon that
prettious hfe. What may have
actuated and propelled the hand
of the villian who sent the breast
of oar ex-president isJiard t#
understand; but wie shall ti^st
no conspiracy is back of it, and
that political plot is back of it,
and that no political polt has been
concocted to get rid of the man
whom all corrupt politicans of
the entire nation f ear.
,«But whatsoever the moti\« of
detested coward, his bloodistained
hands have given the world
anothej; opportunity to know
and realize the greatness and the
manliness of our beloved fellow-
citizen. What an exhibiton of
fortitude and courage he gave
to all of us in the moment of
danger! How stout-heai’ted he
distaned the injury which would
have caused so many other brave
men to faint and swoon away
from the tear colapse after the
flow of blood that he discovered!
Goad and great Christian is he;
a lover and server of God and his
fellow-men. My heart bleeds for
him this moment, not so much
because he has been shot down by
an assassin, but because the
largeness of his heart and the
greatness of his mind are not
sufficiently known toallofus.
“It is my earnest pryer and
yearning desire that hisfellow-
citizens shall not wait until after
the death of Mr.Roosevelt to
know him as he should be known.
JVIay God grant the wisdom
and knowledge to every man,
woman and child of this grand
and glorious land of the free to
appreciate the greatness and the
goodness aud the loveliness of
the brave and patriotic brother
now laying prostrate ..from the
wound in his warm and throbing
breast. Let us offer a prayer of
thanksgiving to God that the life
of our friend has been spared,
and that he shall speedly arise
from his bed of auffering to go
forth once more to battle for
the iove and for the faithful
children unto victory and peace.”
He has a high regard for the
rights of others and because of
this as his Kind disposition he
became a favorite with both
officers and men.
At the close of the war he
returned home he foutid an aged
mother to care for, this /he did
iihtirfier death. As a neighbor hei
was kind and obliging, often'
neglecting his own interest to
oblige others. In case of, sick
ness deaths in the comunity
William Boon was one of the
first to offer his services and
he liad dug more graves and
assisted in oarying more dead
than any other one in the cumun.
ity>
He died Oct, 10. 1912, and was
buried at Bethel|Church. Funeral
services werej conducted by Rev
A.F Isley andthe large concourse
of people present showed the
estimation in which he was held
as a neighboro and citizen.
The above is f umiched by his
friend and official in arms.

But it holds them convicted of
oifehses that, if anything are
morally worse—of prostituting
journalism to the serviieeof in-
tereste which menace this pub*
lie; of deliberately ^nd persistent
ly poisoning the minds of their
readers by the spreading of false
hood and the reiteration of cause
less epithets; of trying to assas
sinate,. not a man, but his char
acter and reputation*
Evidence to support these
charges can be" supplied by the
most indifferent memory/ It
was less than four years ago that
Theodore Rooseveltleft the White
Houlse, after serving in tihe presi-
dencj- for seven and a half years.
Perhaps it was because of a
secret relief over the passing of
the executive who would riOt
trim or palter or compromise
with wrong, perhaps it was be
cause they understood better
than he the bent of iriind of his,
successor, hut it is a fact that
the organs of Toryism sounded
salvoes of praise in his honOr.
“The foremost man of his
time” was a favorite phrase of
estiniate; He had been “tested”
and come forth ‘ ‘pure gold”; his
ly false conception of Theodore
RoosevOit as a creature who
threatened to subvert freedom
to his selfish ambition.
Few of our readers have any
accurate idea of the extent to
which this debauchery of the
press has been carried. Few Of
them have seen, we hope; copies
of a Prohibition ipaper of whjch
the Tory managers liave cirulat-
ed 400,000 copies, picturing the
former president as a hopeless
slave of drink.
They do hot fully realize the
meaning of the. fact that during
the primary campaign last spring
there were newspapers whidb,
with advertising rates of a doll»
an inch, refused to publish the.
announcements of Roosevelt
delegates at a dollar a line. They
know nothing of the “boiler
plate” industrial,! by which &e
Tory machine supplied hundreds
of columns of free matter ready
to print, made np of all the
mendacious and scurrilous stuff
they could glean from the gar
bage cans of journalism. They
do not know the rural paper sell
ing its columns in this manner
could point for justification to
the fact that it was doing no
worse than the great metro
politan newspapers that originat
ed the material.
And now these organs pro*
claim a truce. They feel, and
need feel, no blood-guiltineas
with the assassin, but his sh^
has shocked them into decency.
“There is a truce,” they say.
