If he is unable to see the necessity of reducing the tariff, the people ^ill be able to see the necessity. The tariff board is something on the order of the Hemsen Board, it was not created to asertain facts and ar rive at a just and equitable con clusion in regard to the tariff, but it was created to delay, to perpetuiate as lonp: as possible the operations of thieving trusts, and then excuse it. In- j telig«it people are not fooled about the purposes of the tariff Board, they know its mission, nor will Mr. Taft fool any one by his playing hide and seek in dealing with this great para mount issue of the day, lliursday. August 24. 1911 There is a number of revis ions in some of the laws of North Carolina and some offici al probing that is needed very badly. The Democratic party is j strong enough, is it willing to rpYAN wont do. . undertake the task. The action of the last State Legislature re- W. J. Brytin, the irrepressable; i^tive to some important meas- announced in his Columbus Ohio incouraging sign, speech las^ week that he intend- j jg evidently much work ed to find out things about the Candidates for the Presidential Democratic Nomination, be tween this and the time to name one, and would keep the party informed, He adds, I intended to devote myself to driving pluto cracy from the throne, and put the right man in the seat I shall find out every thing I can about the candidates between now and convention time and will tell all the people as I learn more and more alwut them. I have not a friend in the United States whom I would regard at the ex pence of my par^ or my coun try." No sir, he has not a friend in the United States that he would not sacrafice, if in doing so he thought there was the slightest opportunity for him to secure the nomination him self from the Democratic party for its Presidential candidate, and when we have spoken that for Mr. Biyan we have spoken a proverb in his political creed, and the Democratic parties pre sent and future good may be consigned to hades as for as he is concerned, if it be necessary in order for him to secure this end. Now while the sun is ris ing upon the Democratic Austrel- itz, and the enemy is making many false moves, this William Jennings Bryan, in his vaulting ambition would lead it through tht burning sands of an other Egyptian failure, to a frozen Moscow, to a Waterloo. He the self appointed guardian of the Democratic party, the lord pro tector, the buckler the breast plate, and the shield, no not that but the Nemesis, the political pharisee, wraps his egotistical mantle about his form and as sumes the political wisdom of all ages undertakes to pass judg ment upon the best and condems all available men, for Bryan is not available. After leading the party to three ignomineous presidential defeats, he is now trying to split it to atoms on the tarif question in the National House of Rep resentative. Bryan wont do. He is a fake, a failure, a hoo doo, a political hobo. How Wil liam Jennings Bryan would have himself regarded as a man of destiny, • and if he can have his way he will fix the destiny of the Democratic party as Mark Hanna fixed it, with his forty million dollar corruption cam paign fund. for some honest fearless leader to do. Will the necessity pro duce the men? We do not want any more time trimmers, “and who is afraid of the lobbyest” Homer Devenport has drawn a strikmg illustration. It shows President Taft playing golf in the back ground, wit’i Dr. Wiley the pure food expert conspicu ous in the front, behind him is a woman with two children starving from eating impure food, in front of him is Secre tary Wilson, and Solicitor Mc Cabe represented as two snarl ing wolves being sec on him by the food poisoners, but Wiley is armed with a good stwit fstick and it is public sentiment. What The Sugar Trust Has Really Cost Country. The Su^ar crust investigation is bringing out some striking information in answer to the oft-asked question of what such a combine of g^'eed really cost the ccuntry. The investigators find its capital $90,000,000, on which it pays 7 per cent; total, $6,300,000 a year. It appears that about two-thirds of the capital is water, so two-thirds of the dividends, or $4,200,000, repre sent extoration from consumers.. That’s quite a premium for the pub lic to pay. But, in fact, it is only a drop in the bucket. The dividends paid do not represent the cost of maintain ing this machinery of extortion. We must go farther into the matter. Befote it paid dividends, the trust was compelled to earn other millions to be piped into the capacious pocket of Havemeyer, in his private capacity. Havemeyer was czar of the trust; but he was not a big stockholder. He sold his trust stock, owning when he died only a nominal number of shares. He knew a better way to make money out of the trust than to draw a paltry 7 per cent on shares. Being absolute master, Havemeyer made his great money by buying things at reasonable prices and selling them to the trust at obnoxious figures. The National Sugar Refining Company was formed for the purpose of selling to the trust. Havemeyer came into con trol of it and capitalized it at $20,000,^ 000. Most of that was water He sold $5,000,000 of the trust’s cash. That got this money out of the trust treasury into the Havemeyer pocket. The trust got no adequate value for its invest ment, The only way it could stand the | strain of such constant drafts was, obviously, by making, out of its business, in addition to its dividends, the other millions that Havemeyer took away from it by such deals. Stopping an Artery. The prompt application of the toof^ niquet or even of the finger to stop the bleeding of an artery before the doc tor comes will often save life. ▲ wound anywhere below the middle of the upper arm or below the middle of the thigh may be easily stopped by a tourniquet The simplest improviaed form of this implement, which may be always found ready to hand, is a linen handkerclilef and a strong stick. The best place to apply the tourniquet for a wound of the arm is above the el bow, .where the pulsations of an ar tery may be felt by any one. The handkerchief should be tied around the arm rather loosely. The stick is thrust in and turned to tighten it until the blood ceases to flow. Of course this is only a temporary relief till the com ing of the doctor, who, in case of seri ous bleeding, must be summoned as soon as possible. When yoi’^ave noth ing at hand in a case of sudden acci dent even the pressure of the foreiin- ger and the thumb over the wound may arrest the flow of blood for the time. Two Breakfasts In Berlin. There is not much to be got by the Berlin citizen In the way of breakfast —simply a cup of coffee and a roll or two—but along about 11 o’clock every body starts for the cafe for a “swond breakfast,” generally' a meat or a cheese sandwich. He makes up for his light regimen at the 1 o’clock Mittag* stich of soup, meat, vegetables, pre served fruits, pudding and wine or beer at discretion. Then he does not hasten back to business, but plays or jokes with his children fifteen or twenty minutes, rests or sleeps foi thirty more, has a chat, a cup of coffee and a cigar and returns to business at 3 o’clock again, perhaps to work un til 8 or 9 in the evening. Then he comes home again to a supper of cold meats, salads, cheese and beer, which will probably be followed by more beer as friends drop in to smoke the black German cigars and play “skat” or “sixty-six.’*—Joe Mitchell Chappie In National Magazine. Seven Belle. Everybody who knows anything, about nautical matters understands the method of keeping time at sea- eight bells every four hours. From 6 to 8 in the evening is the second dog watch, but on British ships seven bells (half past 7) of the second dogwatch are never struck. All other ships, even the American, strike these bells. Dur ing the Napoleonic wars there was a great mutiny in the British navy. The crews of the fleets lying at Splthead and the Nore agreed to rise simul taneously against their officers. The signal agreed upon was seven bells of the second dogwatch. The mutiny ac tually began at the arranged time, but failed, the ringleaders being executed. Ever since then seven bells of the sec ond dogwatch has never been struck on British ships, naval or mercantile. Right to the Point.

President Taft will allege as a reason for vetoslng the wool tariff hill that he is waiting to hear the report of the tariff Board, and further that he does not want to disturb the business interest of the country by the agitation of the tariff question. President Taft did not wait for a report from the tariff board, when he signed Aldrich Payne abomination, he did not then enquire as to what effect it would have on the busi- . ness interest of the country^ He was indiferent as to that effect so it put money into the pockets of the stand patters. President Taft is dealing with a more inteligent class of people as a mass than those he represents dealt with twenty five years ago; and they are going to convince • Mr. Taft of that fact the * very next time they are given an oppor- August Moonlight (By Richard Le Gallienne.)
