Special Correspondence. Washington, D. C, June 10. Gov. Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey, spent last Sunday in the city at the New Willard. While here a num ber of prominent Democrats and many Republicans called on him. Senators, Representatives, officials, Princeton alumni, newspaper men, and citizens shook his hand and chatted with him. He heartily in dorsed the House caucus action on wool, saying that it was a step in the right direction. President Taf t's speech last Satur day night at Chicago on reciprocity with Canada, in which he charged that there was co-operation between the manufacturers of print paper and those who control the lumber supply of the United States to de feat the bill, has aroused much re sentment among Senators who have heretofore opposed the bill, and some of them declare that the Presi dent has injured the chances of pass ing the bill. We will see. Senator Jonathan Bourne, of Ore gon, says ex-President Roosevelt and Gov. Woodrow Wilson reflect on the integrity of the American people and judges by their opposi tion to popular government in the application of the recall of the judi ciary. He Eays: "It has been com mon to refer to popular action under the recall as 'mob rule', losing sight of the fact that no officer can be re called without a majority vote. No where in American history can there be found a single instance in which the people, acting under fair election laws, manifested a spirit that can be called 'mob rule'." In Oregon, where the recall is in operation, there has not been any suggestion of recalling any judge, State, or coun ty officer, thus far, but the people should have thejight, if they desire t act on it, to recall corrupt offi cials. On ivl'n.Hay night Sanat:-. Joseph VV. Bailey, oi" Texas, at the ivit. Ver-, non Place Methodist church, made the speech of his life in honor of Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy. The meeting was held in memory of President Davis, and the large, commodious church was filled to overflowing. Senator Bai ley said in part, after eulogizing Mr. Davis, that "in the solving of the negro problem we have to solve the problem of the negro who thinks he is good enough to come to the front door. The only way in which the two races can live in peace is for the negro to realize and recognize his inferiority. We must be generous with the negro, but he must never expect a place at tne wnite man s i ?ct a place at the white man's table. The Indian refused to live at psace with his white neighbor, with the result that he has been pushed farther and farther to the west until he saw his fate in the sinking sun behind the western horizon. If the African repeats the folly of the In dian he will share a like fate. The truth of history was with the Con federacy. The North has yet to vindicate her course in the days of 1861. There was no man, North or South, to whom the impending war was more abhorrent than Jefferson Davis, or who strove harder to avoid it. The responsibility of that war lies with the five Republican states men who sat upon the Crittenden committee, "and who, by their re fusal to accept the report compiled by that committee, made war inevit able. Jefferson Davis, as a seldier and a statesman, was vastly superior to Abraham Lincoln, and as a Chris tian gentleman was the peer of any." Senator Bailey is a son of Mississippi, from whence Jefferson Davis came. The President has reprimanded Colonel Gerrard, of the army post at Fort Meyer, near here, for making prejudicial remarks against private Bloom, a young Jew, who wished to take an examination for promotion, saying that "in few communities were the Jews received as desirable associates." Not only did he refuse young Bloom, but he went out of his way to insult the whole Jewish race in his remarks. lie was very prop erly reprimanded Ltverely, but his is almost the worst thing consumptives. Many of the "just-as-good" preparations contain as much as 29(of alcohol; Scotts Emulsion not a drop. Insist on having SsQtt'3 Emulsion r ei IUi HI II shoulder straps should be taken from him. Race distinction in the army cannot and should not be tolerated. The testimony of ex-Secretary of State, now Senator, Root, of New York, on why $850 was paid for an oil portrait of ex-Secretary of State Day, and the voucher called for $2,440, a difference of $1,600, was made before the House committee on expenditures in the State De partment on Tuesday. The money was spent out of the secret service fund for a particular purpose, which he declined to state, but was strictly regular. This voucher was lost. A bill has been introduced in Con gress by Representative Bochne, of Indiana, making it a crime for any corporation to attempt to influence legislation. It provides that any corporation or official thereof who closes down a manufacturing plant solely for political effect shall be punished by a fine not to exceed $5,000 or five years imprisonment. He also introduced a second bill making it a crime for any corpora tion to post placards about its plant threatening loss of position to work men unless they support certain po litical parties. These are good bills and a step in the right direction. Debate on the wool bill began in the House Wednesday. Enough time has been allotted on both the Republican and Democratic sides of the House to last ten days or longer before it comes to a vote. The Wisconsin legislature has re quested the United States Senate to investigate the bribery charges against Senator Stephenson, of Wis consin, which, according to the re port of the special investigating committee, was brought about by bribery, and asks tbe United States Senate to unseat $tephenson. Cor ruption, corruption, will it ever end? No wonder the people demand di rect election of Senators. Observer. Needed In Every ScRool. Dr. A. H. Fleming, president of v-rt North iVrolina Dental Associa tion, made a prof essionai examina tion of the children in the Louisburg schools some ten days ago and makes public his findings and conclusions in a communication to The Louisburg Times. Out of 188 children exam ined, only five reached a standard which in any way might be consider ed satisfactory, and Dr. Fleming states his belief that this condition is better than that obtaining among average children. In other words, at least 97 per cent of the children in North Carolina badly need the services of a dentist. The pathos of this situation is that in the majority of instances the par ents are as totally unaware of the re- Ail 111 1 ! quirements oi tne cnua as tne pupns Lf the first grade themselves could passibly be. They simply do not know that the child's teeth are in a condition which is not only somewhat disgusting but highly injurious to prospects of future health. It does not require imagination to infer that this trouble costs dollars and cents. "The city of Chicago," declares Dr. Fleming, "pays to keep the mouths of its poor school children in proper condition and requires that ail mouths must be in proper condition before the children may enter school. After paying these bills - there is a saving to the city of many thousands of dollars, in that the children are better prepared to learn and are not compelled to repeat the grades as re sult of not being able to keep up with the class." The examination of the teeth is only a part of the work which is now being advocated as medical ' inspec- of the schools. Add to the situation hinted at above the children with de fective eyes or ears and those afflict ed with adenoids, and it would seem that, nothincr further in support of the innovation need be adduced. The simple truth seems to be that a system of medical inspections, em bracing the public schools of the State, would increase the sum total of happiness, 33 far as the oncoming generation is concerned, many times over. The advantages of the estab lishment of such inspection are be coming realized more and more fully every month. In the course of time it will doubtless become a recognized part of the school system in every county. Charlotte Observer. It is a sname.

Fins Progress Made in Preliminary Construction A State Department of Public Roads was created in West Virginia 1909. The first work of the com missioner was to hold public meet ings in order to inform the people concerning the aims of the depart ment and to arouse interest in its work. It was also necessary to pre pare standards for map?, plans, con tracts and specifications; also to aid the county road engineers in system izing their work and improving the standard of maintenance, at the same time reducing the cost. , A meeting of the county road engineers was held in December, 1909, at which more than forty counties were rep resented. Previous to this it had been decided to establish the stand ard scale for county maps at 4,000 feet to the inch, these to show the districts, important towns, railroads, streams and all public roads. In ad dition standard plans are provided for having a scale of 100 feet to the inch for recording surveys of public roads. The law of 1909 required each county to appoint a road engineer and so far only one county has not met this requirement. By the end of 1910, 2,454 miles of county roads had been surveyed, 12,371 miles had been measured, and maps had been made of 18 counties. An idea of the preliminary con struction work being done may be given by the report for Fayette county. This county has an area of 730 square miles and contains about 933 miles of public roids. "The roads of Fayette are being com pletely overhauled, consisting of cutting the brush and weeds, blast ing out the ridges of rock that cress the roads in so many places opening up good side ditches and crowning the roads well, so they can be main tained with the road drag. Seven miles radiating from Fayetteville are being worked with convicts at a cost of $25 per nme, and 475 miles have been let by contract at an average cst of $75 per mile. The remainder of the roads are being kept up by the supervisors working under the county road engineer. Three and a half miles of road will be constructed with convicts. The maximum grade of the present road is 17 per cent and the maximum grade of the new road will be 5 per cent." Municipal Journal. Tne Call of The Nurse. No calling has more rapidly ad vanced in public esteem the past few years than that of the trained nurse, and every movement looking to im proving the efficiency, and widening the sphere of usefulness of those who adopt nursing as a life work should engage the attention and cordial ap-! proval of the public. The meeting next week of the American Society of Superintendents of Training Schools for Nurses in Boston prom ises to be a noteworthy occasions in the annals of the profession. The trained nurse should be a nurse by instinct as well as by train ing. She should have that undefi- able something about her that calms, rather than excites, the patient. She must love her work, as the true phy sician loves his, having an instinct for relieving the suffering. The white-garbed angels of the hospital wards are doing a noble work. They give an air of gentle ness and quiet to the sick room that rnb? the hosnital of much of its dread, and those who have once been under their ministrations are their friends for life. All honor to the no ble young women who go forth from their homes to the relief of suffering humanity. Richmond Virginian. Newspaper Builds Town. We know a merchantile firm which bought a newspaper outfit and pub lished a paper in a town of 150 in habitants so as to build it up. The defict of the first year was $1,000, and the merchants paid it up and kept the paper going. Ihey cut tne defict to $5C0 and kept right on run ning the paper till it wiped out its own defict. It is now a fine piece of newspaper property and in a live town of more that 10,000 population. It is the same" town that started with 150 population not so many years ago.

Monroe Journal. Shiiners and Eiks Folders. The Atlantic Coast Line has issued beautifully illustrated folders of standard form in two colors, adver tising the low round-trip rates to Rochester on account of the Imperi al Council of the Mystic Shrine. July 11, 12 and 13 and of the Grand Lodge of Elks at Atlantic City, N. J July 10 and 15th. These folders are replete with in formation to those contemplating the trip, as they contain the rate3, stop-over privileges, many pretty half-tones and brief write-up3 of the many attractions of these two beau tiful cities. The round trip rates, which are open to the public, from Scotland Neck is $22.60 to Rochester and $15.50 to Atlantic City and the tickets are on sale for each point on July 7, 8 and 9. While the return limit is comparatively short an ex tention of about a mon;h can be ob tained by depositing ticket with agent and upon thepayment of $1.00. Every Shriner and Elk should write to Mr. White, the General Passenger Agent at Wilmington, for conies of the folders and they will find much therein to interest them. Texas Waman Kaer ueaiii.

Restriction of Appeal Suggested Relieve Supreme Tribunal. to Something will certainly have to be done by congress, and it ought to be done soon, to relieve the extreme congestion of business in the Su-, preme court of the United States. The statement is made that during the term that closed the other day more, than 1,100 new cases were en tered on the docket. As during the term only about 350 cases were de cided, it is easy to calculate how soon the last of those 1,100 new ones It likely to be reached. The estimate is that there is enough litigation now in sight to keep the court busy for the next three years, which is rather a discouraging out look for those who are interested in pending suits. Something was done a few years ago to lighten the strain, and for a while the situation was improved, but now the growth of business, much of it arising in our recently acquired island posessions. has caught up with and passed the addi tional facilities provided, and things are worse than ever. Conditions can not be allowed to continue as at present. Theyjamount to a denial of ju3tice.to thousands of our citizens and something will have to be un dertaken for their amendment. It looks as though the right of appeal to the Supreme court would have to be much more narrowly re stricted than at present, and, as such a restriction would affect all alike, it would give no just occasion foi complaint. Philadelphia ln"juirer. Raising The Maine. Havana, Cuba, June 7. The work of pumping water from the coffer dam which was built around the wreck of the battleship Maine was resumed yesterday. At 9 o'clock the water bad "been lowered three feet two inches. At that time the top and sides of the wreck's after deck were beginning to come into view and the sighting hood of the aft-turret on th port side was just awash. 1 The greater part of the after deck 'is now clearly visibly showing the , confused masses of wreckage with v marine growths. The forward part ot tne ship, up-n ti;en tne greater force of the explosion was exerted is still submerged. It is the intention of the army en gineers to proceed iluwly with the pumping until 5 o'clock this after noon, when the level of the water will have receded to a total depth of five feet and then suspend all opera tions until the arrival of the board of American army officers, which is expected to morrow.

Callouses never cure themselves but always get worse, sometimes irritating the whole nervous system. The follow ing is a most effective and speedy cure "Dissolve two tablespoonfuls of Calocid in a basin of hot water. Soak the feet In this for full fifteen minutes, gently massaging the sore parts. (Less time will not give the desired results.) The sore ness will disappear imme diately and the callous can be easily peeled off. Repeat this for several nights. A little olive oil rubbed into skin is very beneficial." This Calocide is a very remarkable preparation for all foot ailments. Bunions, corns and Ingrowing nails get instant relief and are soon cured. Bad smelling and sore feet need but a few treatments. Calocide Is no longer con fined to doctors' use. Any druggist has it In stock or will quickly get it from his wholesale house. A twenty-five cent package is usually enough to put the wiwct feet in fine condition. It will prove a bleeping to persons who have been vainly trying ineffectual tablets and foot powders. AUTOMOBILES!
