The attempt haF also been made to stamp out thought To eradicate a language is, however, less brutal than the former and mort- easy of performance than the latter. All of these Russia has attempted. Poland’s claim to political entity waF obliterated in 1868; her people were persecuted and driven away, many of them to enrich American patriotism; 8 ban was put on utterances of the presF It remained to stifle the language by the familiar method of outlawing it in school and court — Columbia State. Russia is not the only country that has stifled the language of a people and indeavored to de stroy their national identity. When allied Prusia conquered France in 1872 and took from her Alsace and Lorrain. Prusia demanded and enforced,the use of the German language in al) public schools, and all courts of law. She d d not only do that but demanded the destruction of every picture and painting that was a reminder of their former association and connecticn with the French Empire. Among all the French subjects there was none more loyal than the Alsal- tians and Lorrains. It was Pru- sias purpose to break them away in the shortest possible way even if brutal. To have torn these people from France for purely political purposes, and forced an alliaaee with a counti*y they had learned to hate was a hard les son. ernment of ours is not so poor that it need begrudge to the men who wear ita unifdrm an occasional induijfence in a food delicacy. onomieing in such a nigga^'dly way is rather small business for a sleek, prosperous gentleman like Uncle Sam. The arm / ‘s n-it supposed to rank with the penitei tiary and con vict camp class. —Greensboio News. A pe tinent query, is why? When one considers how the gold band officers are rolling in luxury, enjoying a class of liv ing they could not obtain at any other calling, while the private is doing the c’rudgery of camp life, cleaning spittoons and black ing the boots of the off.cers, it is kind of queer the government can not furnish the men with chicken. Uncle Sam had better cut out some of his luxuries for the army. John R. Walsh the Chicago bank wrecker who was paroled from Leven worth penitentiary a week ago. only had a brief breath ing spell in the free air and then came death to relieve the aged financier. He died early Mon day morning. The changed con dition were too much of a shock for him in his aged and decrep- ed condition. Walsh was 74 years of age. He was simply a scape goat. There are thousands to day that should be wearing stripes that are not MAKES JUSTICE A MO(^KERY We are told that at least one month will be required to secure a juryto try the McNnmaras. Just such procedure as this is whai makes justice a mock ery. Two men are charged with the murder of many lives. They are either innocent or guilty. It should be an easy task to pick up twelve men fair enough to pass on the evidence. In England the case would have been well nigh its ending now.—Charlotte News. This country might be much the same, if it were not over ridden by a lot of legal sharpers. Men who have resorted to every de vise to encourage criminals to escape from the penalties of the law, and who have created all the loop holes through which they hope to drag them to safety from the consequences of their mmes. It is not so in Canada, it is not so in England, it may be so in Italy. But Heaven help us that it is so in America. .Dr. Harvey Wiley favors per miting women the privilegt. of voting. He takes the ground that all women who vote will vote right Our impression is there is just as many bad women in this world as there are bad men. Sex has nothing to do with their moral qualities, A real bad woman is the worst thing that ever God created, and a good woman is the best Men are never quite so good as the best,or quite so bad as the worst. The great misfortune about woman suffrage, it will always be the brazen beastly character who will be quite sure to take advantage of suffrage, while the modest gentle lady will remain at home to exert her benign in fluence over her offspring But the real tendency of woman suf frage when put in practice will be to exert a blighting influence upon the race. Louisville’s iNotable Meeting. When Louisville landed the Woman Suffrage Convention, which will con vene there this week, the Kentucky city and the nation did not realize how much importance would attach to the votes for women movement before the Louisville meeting. Behiiid convention stand more than 800,000 voters, women who have full suffrage and stand on absolute equality with men. The victory in California practically doubled the number of women voters in America and gave the equal suff rage movement an importance which thinking men and women the nation over cannot overlook. In commenting on the present movement to win votes for women the St. Louis Post-Dispatch says: Nashville Tennessean. The moral influence of the Califor nia success must not be underestima ted, and the women will be encourag ed to make still stronger campaigns in other States. There are now over 800,000 women in the country with full suffrage rights No reform which has assumed such momentous proportions can be ignored. Women everywhere would do well to begin preparation for the new respon sibilities they have demanded and must assume. They must be ready to redeem the promises they htv * made and that tave maoe in thiir hehalf. New Goods! New Goods!

Paquin models shown in New York have caused the startling announce ment that “hips are coming back.” We can not speak with certamly, of course, but we have strong suspicion that they have been there, to greater or less extent, all the time.—Columbia State. One in Spirit. Chester Lantern, The American Tobacco company “officially” announces that it has di vided into four parta and has dissolved in accordance with the orders of the supreme court of the United States. Does any one doubt that these four parts are not still of the same body? Such anti-trust methods will amount to nothing. From Thanatopsis. “If the lid was lifted'' is the heading of an article of some length in a Sunday edition of one of our Exchanges. If it was lifted there would be sights to sicken humanity. But wealth— wealth illegally acquired has helped to keep the lid down good and tight. Homes have been broken up, and the wild havoc of children taught to hate their fathers, that the mother might find a solace with her rich affini ty is one result, Winston may boast of such a charcter to day, and Raleigh may be proud of the hell rake that consumated the deal. which each of at So live that when thy summons comes to join That innumerable caravan, moves To that mysterious realm, where shall take His chamber in the silent halls death Thou go not, like the quarry slave night. Scourged to his dungeon, but, sus tained and soothed By an unfalt>‘nng trust, approach thy grave Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams. —Bryant.

If you wish to eat an old-time satisfact- o rymeal and feel no discomfort thereafter get a case of this water, drink it according to directions and gladly tell your neighbor of your good fortune. Panacea Spring Co Littleton, N. C. THE RECALL. Before the recall for judges had tak en such a hold on the American people the fact was generally recognized that juJges needed to have the watchful eye of the public, as they were not en tirely above criticism, for as far back as 1876 the late Senator George F. Hoar of Maflsachusetts, who, while a member of the House of Representa tives, said: My own public life has been a very brief and insignificant one, extending very little beyond'the duration of a single term of Senatorial office. But in that brief period I have seen five judges of a high court of the United States driven from office by threats of impeachment for corruption or malad ministration. I hive seen in the State of the Union foremost in power and wealth four judges of her courts im* peached for corruption.” And there are others, one at least in this State that a high and acute sense of justice, man ifested by the people should have driven him from place and power. Prohibition in Maine. New York Nation. In Monday's vote in Maine, on the proposal to strike prohibition of the liquor traffic from the State constitu tion, the cities went strongly against prohibition; the country districts stood staunchly by the old policies. This does not necefsarily imply that Bango and Portland and Kiddeford are as wicked as Sodom and Gomorrah. Nor docs the vote of the rural sections prove that they are models of all the virtues, But the large towns and the villages gave a natural verdict upon the conditions as they have been af fected by them. In the cities, the prohibition law has been too often a mixture of farce and failure. There has been not only dtunkeness, but a great deal of beastly drunkenesa. Mame seaports have had a bad name with naval officers, who have said that shoreleave there meant the worst kind of intoxication for the aailors. At points near the Canadian or New Ham pshire line the going to and fro in search of intoxicants has long been no torious. One Sunday morning train from the north has had the nick mefcn of the “Grand Drunk line. An Imperilled President. The report that thirty-six sticks of dynamite were found under the abut ments of a brklge on President Taft’s route in Southern California will call attention anew to the dangers inevi tably incurred by a travelling Presi dent. The dynamite may not have been meant for the Taft train. The incid ent may be exaggerated. But by the very fact of his being a President on Wheels Mr. Taft is daily self-imperill ed, He puts himself in greater jeop ardy of reckless criminals such as those who have thrice wrought havoc in our history. He puts himself in peril of accide.it, which is no respect er of persons. Since he was named Governor of the Philipines in 1900 Mr. Taft has trav elled 275,000 miles, or more than the distance from the earth to the moon. He is now criss crossit^ the continent, distributing speeches aud handshakes at almost every flag station. It is un dignified. It is unnecessary. It is dangerous Why travel so much?— New York World.
