JOHN M.-OGLESBT. City Editor.
Concord, N. CJult ii, 1910
VOLUME XXI.
With Saturday's isue The Tribune
rounded up the tenth year of its life.
It bas been under the present manage
ment for three months. Our only
promise for the future is that the city
of Conoord will be given the very best
daily paper the patronage will admit.
"In my opinion the next House will
be Democratic by a majority of be
tween forty and fifty," said Chair
man James T. Lloyd, of the National
Democratic Congressional committee.
Mr. Lloyd is in close touch with po
litical conditions in practically every
congressional district in the country,
and is generally reputed among his
colleagues as more lokely to be over
cautious than over-confident, if any
thing, when making political prognos
tications. Minority Leader Champ
Clark predicts the Democratic major
ity in the bouse may possibly reach
seventy-fire.
Figures showing the number of new
offices created for Republican politic
ians by the last session of Congress
have not yet been prepared. The pre
ceding Congress, however, created 26,
944 new positions. For new offices
rested and salaries increased, the Six
tieth Congress added to the taxes paid
by the people the stupendous sum of
$39,563,577.88.
The Judicial convention at Oas-
tonia made no mistake when it nom
inated Mr. George W. Wilson for so
licitor. He is a lawyer of ability and
eomes of a family of brainy people.
He is qualified, by training, experi-
enoe and ability to make a good Solic
itor, and none who know him doubt it.
The name of C. W. Tillett, Esq., of
Mecklenburg, bas been mentioned as a
possible candidate for Governor two
years hence. Mr. Tillet is qualified in
every aense, but if Hon. Locke Craige
wanta the nomination for Governor in
1912, it would be suicide for the Dem
ocratic party to deny it to him.
Sew Scheme for Holding to Public
, ; School Funds.
. Tor several years now there bas
been a constant struggle between the
- State and county public school author
ities and various towns of the State
over the question of the payment of
all ones collected ay, the towns into
the county school fund as required by
' the constitution. -All manner , of
meant of evading this .requirement
have been evolved by towns and prac
ticed until forced t 0 abandon by the
school authorities.1 The latest plan of
' VTumu as a t uui mu - xiuiu as iwui

the scheme of imposing a sentence of

benefit. The State.anperintendent of

orney general for a ruling and the lat
ter colds that the ft -per lay pay
ments are in the natura-of a fine and
must go to the school fund.
Ed. S. AbelL of Johnston eounty,
- in seconding the nomination of F. A.
Daniels for judge in the Sixth district
convention at Raleigh rFiday, took oc

Waahlnjtoa Suspect Treachery u
Jas-itnaslan Pact. v
Government experts on far Eastern
affairs are on a still bent for proof of
a secret agreement between Japan and
Russia on the partition of Manchuria
adverse to the United States, lor
months past these, diplomatic sleuths
have been convinced that some such
understanding had been reached, says
a Washington Dispatch of July 7. '
In ithit connection it is ox para
mount importance to remember that,
while the Russians are termed
"white raee',' the yare really Asietie
in all things except an outward veneer,
forced by necessity through contact
with the other European nations.
That Russia should eventually
alien herself with the yellow races
is most slausible.
The agreement just signed provid
ing1 for the elimination" of oompet-
tion between Russian and Japanese
.systems in Manchuria is suspected
to be but a blind to throw the other
powers off the scent.
In reiteration of the intention of
the two countries fo preserve the
status quo is regarded as no more
than a tinkling phrase, which bas
been used repeatedly to distract at
tention from the real underground
workings of the two foreign offices to
secure a firm grasp on China's richest
province.
A complete upheaval in the Far
East diplomacy is looked for with
in the next few months. It is ex
pected that it will bring about a re
alignment of the powers, and prob
ably shake Great Britain's alliance
with Japan. Whatever the ostensible
purposes of Russian and Japanese di
plomacy, the Western world is prac
tically convinced that the reconcilia
tion of the two former enemies means
a new phase of oriential politics.
The "open door" is shut and bolted
in Manchuria, and the gospel of equal
opportunity has become obsolete.
To Pay a Debt to BUI Nye.
Charlotte Observer.
The Bill Nye Memorial committee
of the North Carolina Press Associa
tion chose wisely and well, in Salis
bury Wednesday, when a building at
the Stonewall Jackson Training
school was decided upon as the form
of the memorial. It is precisely such
choice as Nye hiriiself would have
made. A lover of his kind, he would
rather that wayward or friSndlesa
boys should receive benefits in bis
name that that the stateliest shaft
on earth should be erected. Fur
nished and equipped the cottage will
cose five thousand dollars or more,
and the public is now asked to con
tribute to its erection.
How many are there who have not
read Bill Nye with delight and a
lightening of life's burdens T He was
himself no other could have written
his pages a most human-hearted
and lovable man. We reckon him
among the real benefactors of hu
manity in his generation. His life,
all too sad in some respects, was
partly spent in North Carolina, nd
his affection for . and associations
with this State were close. ,; Here,
too, he lies buried. The public's evi
dences of willingness to contribute to
ward any proper memorial have sur
passed expectations. Large numbers
of people will deem this opportunity
a privilege. The Observer, as one I
five newspapers designated for the
purpose, will be glad to receive anl
acknowledge subscriptions.
N. 0. Bates Reduced. V
The Inter-State Commerce Commis
sion last week ordered a reduction in
through freight rates, to Winston-Salem
and Durham, from Roanoke and
Lynchburg, Ya. It amounts to -about
9 cents a hundred pounds -on class
freight and from 4 to 8 feents a hun
dred pounds on hay, grain and pack
ing house products.
Some time ago a complaint , was
filed with the commission by the Cor
poration Commission of North Caro
lina' against the Norfolk and Western
Railway; Company and -other carriers
alleging discrimination .against . Win
ston-Salem and Durham by the railr
roads, and ; alleging also discrimina
tory and unreasonable rates to those
points from Chicago, East St. Ixrais,
Cincinnati and Louisville, through
iivnchburg and Roanoke. . .
The commission held that the com
plain tant 's charge of discrimination
was not sustained but that the present
class rates of the Norfolk and West
ern from Roanoke and Lynchburg to
Winston-Salem and Durham were un
reasonable, and that ithe existing class
rates via the same route from Cincin
nati to Winston-Salem and Durham
were unjust and unreasonable.

HOW TO DIP&OVX EQAL3.
Progressive Farmer. t j -
To show that v are paying for bee
roads, an extract from recent
report on the United States Senate
committee on agriculture, which bas
been investigating- this matter, may
be given: , . "
"Over the bad roads in the United
States team in the worst hauling
season is able to transport on an aver
age only about 800 or. 900 pounds,
hrhile b France every good draft bone
is expected to be able, to draw 3,306
pounds a distance of 18 1-2 miles any
day in the year."
In spite of these facts the United
States only spends about $90,000,000
a year from all sources : on .public
road-building. We spend more than
that on our navy, more on onr army,
and more for pensions to soldiers in
these days of peace. We have reach
ed the point for action, the time for
mere talk has passed. - -,
In this eonection we wish to again
state that the indifference of the
south to the value of the split-log
road drag is beyond understanding.
It is no longer an experiment.' It is
cheap, and . consequently practically
our only available means . of main
taining good roads, and yet we ignore
it almost completely, ;We most for
generations depend on dirt i roads
throughout the greater part : of the
south. Hard surface roads are bet
ter, but too expensive, in most -sections,
for many years to come. In
the split log drag we have a simple
means of maintaining our dirt) roads
in good condition at a trifling - ex
pense, after they have been' drained
and shaped, and yet we refuse to
avail ourselves of this proved .meth
od. Some have explained that the
reason is that the drag is ' too sim
ple. It is a fact that no one can ap
preciate its value who has not seen
it properly used, But . it does seem
that we should learn more, quickly.
If the split-log drag were an experi
ment, there might be some reason in
the failure of our road authorities to
begin its use, but when any method
has been proved the best known, by
years of extensive trial, the failure
to adopt it, by those having the care
of our roads, is simply inexcusable
stupidity. ; ;
Send a postal for Farmers' Bulle
tin No. 321, "The Use of the Split
Log Drag on Eearth Roads." and start
agitating tne matter among your
neighbors.
