A'rroit all the available lands in Cliar^ locte vlrlnlty for several miles out Ju e ’erj* direction are in the hands -}t the several real estate concwus operating in the city. There are hun dreds and thousands of home sites to b^ disposed of.

E^fory buslnees Interest will feei the impetus of any degree of industrial ex- puru-ion. The more people brought here the more bread sold by the baker. The more people brought here the more lives and property insured by the in- iurance man. The more people brought here the more juice sold by the elec tric concern; the more rides on atreet cars; the more homes built by local ronrfactors; the more plans drawn by architects; the more supplies sold by tue lumbermen; and so on, and on. Can any man engaged in any line of busine&e, then, afford to sit back ■n supine Indifference to the opportun ities of growth presented to the city? Apathy In a matter of this kind is another way of cutting off the nose to the detriment of the face. If the proposition evolved by Mr. Cole, and submitted to the Greater Charlotte Chib is sulficieatly supported warrant its success Charlotte will, during the next ten years, line up with Greenville, S. C., Winston-Salem, Ashe ville and other cities In the fight for new business. The Greater Charlotte Investment Company, if set going, will bring to Charlotte during the ten years to come many enterprises which any city would be benefltted to harbor. The In vestment Company does not propose to deal in "futurities.” It Is not a speculative scheme. It will have noth ing to do with the unsound business proposition. It is to be formed mere ly for the purpose of bringing to the city that class of enterprises which will be a benefit. It will take stock in no concern which is not headed by men of integrity and business ability. It Offers no welcome to the profession al bonus hunter, but it does propose to give to the meritorious enterprise not only a welcome but material evidences of active support. fil ft a proposition worth consider ing? Is It one which should interest the banker and the real estate man? Will ita success mean their success? If so, is it not the duty of every buai- neat man of the city to attend the meeting thla evening and join in one concerted effort to push Charlotte to the front? We have lost position during the past year in manufacturing records. Other cities have outstripped us in their activity in bringing in new busi ness. They have gone after them In a fashion to get results, whereas we have done little effective work. What will we dtt^ tonight with the proposition to enlarge the industrial bosiaess of the city? What will we do in the way of substantial city build ing?,What will we decide as the course to be purvaed during the ten years to come? Will we pursue the primrose p§tJx_ot indolence.'and attempt to de lude ourselves into believing that we •re destined to greatness without any personal effort on our part? Or shall we, every man, roll up our ■Ifttfvea and get l^the swim with other wbich expect to achieve suc- eti».6ywptk? I '^at ifiU. tJiie m^ who hare made Charlotte of the preiMit lo towards WAITiNQ ON THE TARIFF BOARb. Throughout his “swing around tl\e circle’^ President Taft iterated and re iterated his determination to kill all tariff bills which were passed before hU pet tariff board had reported. From intelligence which has leaked out it seems to be the general opinion that this much'heralded board will dis cover nothing new under the sun; that its report will bring to light no facts which both parties are not In poses- sion of. The nation knows that the Ijarlft Is too high on the majority of articles consumed in this country and the democratic congress has set about to reform and revise the tariff tn the interest of the consumer. Mr. Taft himself admits that the tariff on vari ous articles is too high, and yet he blocks legislation, he puts the opinion of several pet representatives up against that of several hundred law makers chosen to represent the sev eral states. By his blind ftlth in the tariff board, and his repeated defies to congress the president is placing himself in a bad position. The New York W^rld com ments on the president’s attitude in the following Interesting manner: “The tariff board will within a very short time submit to Mr. Taft its re port on the wool and woolen schedule; later In the session its report on the cotton schedule and at some indefinite time next year Its report on the met al schedule is expected. There are 11 other schedules in the Payne-Aldrich tariff, of which the tariff board has reported only on the paper schedule in connection with Canadian reciproc ity. “In his recent tour Mr. Taft de clared in public speeches that he would veto any tariff bills passed by con gress affecting industries on which the tariff board had not reported. “Mr. Taft therefore undertakes ab solutely to prohibit congress from touching a single one of ten schedules, while declaring in his speeches that ‘protection In the past has bes» too high and that it ,1s possible to lower the taxiff so as not to interfere with business.* He declares in effect that he will not permit congress to lower any duty on chemicals, woods and maBufactures of woods, agricultural products and provisions, fibre and silk; upon hundreds of articles in common use. He will only permit it to dea! with such items as >be tariff board may report on; and even upon these schedules he will presumably with hold the executive approval unless .con gress legislates along the lines laid down by the tariff board. "This is plain usurpation of power. Without constitutional warrant he as sumes the authority to narrow the fix ed right of congress to legislate on the tariff. Purely of his own will he pre scribes hi advance precisely what it may do and what it may not do. He decrees offhand that five men of his naming shall be superior to the elected congress and shall say when» how and on what conditions revenue laws shaall be made. “Unless the president recedes from his position or congress abdicates, the time is at hand when Mr. Taft must again stand ready to abuse the au thority of his office in defiance of the popular will, and again to invite his own deXeat In 1912.” ROYAL BAKING POWDER AAwluMy Pure Economizes Butter, Flour, Eggs; makes tlie food more amietlziiig and wholesome Hie only Baking Powder made from Royal Grape Cream of Tartar FROM OTHER SANCTUMS DO WE WANT THE NORFOLK SOUTHERfJ ? Charlotte has the chance to bring the Norfolk Southern Railroad here if the proper interest is shown and the proper welcome and co-operation of fered. Representatives of the road, Mr. Duncan, and ex-Gov. Chas. B. Aycoc^ spent the day in the city, coming here in the interest of the proposition to extend the proposed line from Con cord to Charlotte. These gentlemen frankly state that they do not wish to fight their way into Charlotte, but that they are anxious to touch this city if the connection may be made without a struggle. Here, Indeed, Is an opportunity which cannot be allowed to go by tm- notlced. Scarcely any proposition of greater significance has been present ed to the city in years. It is ‘one of such importance that each business man of the city should feel a personal duty to lend his Influence toward* bring ing this railroad to Charlotte. There is ample space in the bounds of the city for depots, etc. Another great competing trunk line would be of Inestimable benefit to th^ business interests of the city. It would mean a step forward in the battle for more equitable freight rates. It would mean the adding of another great booster institution to the city's aesets. for the history of thii railroad-^hows that it always lends Its energies to the promotion of the interests and resour ces of the territory it traverses. , We can’t afford to allow the Norfolk Southern to pass the city by. It is a time for those in position to lend influence in the matter to get to gether and to go after this railway with a determination that will take no denial. What to do With The Small Boy Who Smokes In the December Woman’s Home Companion there is an excellent arti cle on “The Professional Parent." The “professional parent” is one who on all occasion in the presence of children, his own included, al ways looks solemn and dignified. The author says that this this role o£ omniscience and ompipotence can deceive only very small children. As an illustration of a better way to handle boys, the following case is re ported—a ease where the parents, according to the author, dealt wisely with a fourteen-year-old boy who had taken up smoking: *‘The question of smoking came up early in our family. Lawrence has al ways been greatly attracted by what he considers manly accomplishments. If he had bee nbrought up in a Puritan atmosphere, he would have sown an abundant crop of wild oats —so great to him is the glamour ot the forbidden thing. If it savors ot fashion or of luxury, it becomes almost Irresistable. “He was only fourteen when we noticed a suggestion of cigarrette smoke about him. ‘ ‘Have you been smoking, my boy?’ his father asked in a tone un- suggestive of rebuke. Lawrence ad mitted that he had. ‘I should be sor>*y if it stopped your growth or injured your heart, so that you could not go in for athletics at college,’ his father went on in a casual tone, ‘i would rather you did not, if you do not care very much about it. 1 will give .each of you boys a hundred dollars if you will not smoke until you are twenty-one. Think it over for a few days. If you decide that you prefer to smoke, 'and if, after you have had a talk with the doctor, you are not afraid of what it may do to you, your mother will find a place for you to smoke.’ “A few words from our doctor, treating the matter from a scientltic point of view, helped Lawrence to decide that he would take the hun dred dollars. The other boys decided fls he did; this ended it.” inconsiderately threw himself into this experience with positive enjoy ment, and he developed a ready sympathy with the temper and the intellectual demands of his fellow JeJrse.vmen that to say the least, contrary to an the accepted traditions concerning fastidious scholars in contact with plain busi ness men and working-men. It was the same way when he went out West speech-making. There were two bhinders of contradictoj^ char acter, but both inevitable, ^ which he declined to make. He did not, in ex cessive eagerness to conciliate a sup. posed Western sentiment, come out for the recall of judges. He did not, to show his indepehdence, disregard and antagonize Western sentiment. He merely remained himself and talked his convictions and took the West sympathetically—and the West ac cepted him with astonishing readiness of comprehension. No wonder such a man has sarcas tic critics. His persistent and ob stinate refusal to accept the logical downfall they predict for him is not merely unreasonable, but exasper ating.—Harper’s Weekly.

We do not wonder at a certain acredity in the criticism Governor Wilson gets from such as began some time ago to be sure af the imminence of his downfall. His be havior has certainly been most incon siderate of the feelings of people committed to that view of his ca-- reen. Although he has been in office less than a year, he has malicious ly contrived an extraordinary num ber of disappointments ip their reas onable expectations. Some of them began to form such expectations even before he went into office. They were quiet sure, and naturally so, that when it came to regular campaining and stump speaking before miscellaneous audi ences the scholarly and academic gentleman would be disgusted iim- self and fail entirely to get touch with the crowds that curiosity ^ould bring out to hear him.
