I* ike finni thai have adver

of necessity hear of it and hear
lag meant going to »ae for it
edf. The paper that goee into
the home of oar people is Che
beet ssedium through which
to talk hoainrss. In all" the
hiatecj of business one can not
fiala anceessful lira that per
■iatently reftiaee to advertise.
All the merchant ptinoes of

Bnt we find many who tyink

ey for a charitable institution—
my get no return*, and the
■ewapepera flouriah through
their aid. Such a mistaken idea
aad not worthy of a level-heed
ed business man. There are
eome who even get mad with
the paper because firms adver
tise and sell goods. We have
been much amuaed by the re
mark of a business man. He
peid: '•I could have sold as
many goods aa I formerly did,
bat for The Enterprise. The
firaM advertising in it have
taken much of my trade." .We
that remark speaks louder for
the benefits ariang from adver
tiaing in these pages than aqy-.
thing we have heard in many
days. It would ornament the
pages of Printers Ink. and
make a good head line for our
ad. cohunns.f We are proud
to know that our paper is ao
beneficial for those who pat
ronise it. The wonder is that
so few recognise the value
of getting their buainas before
the public eye. He who (ails
to advertise, is like a man who
is aide and reftiaee to take the
rsmady prescribed for him,
and—dies!

when negroes were entertained.
Th warm Southern blood in

The School Tax Bill intro
duced by H. W. Stubbs, of
Ifartin, appears on another
page. This bill meets the re
quirements of the present con
diction of things and should be
passed. There is strong feeling
in the East sgsinst an equal
distribution of the school fu nd.
If the negroes desire education
let them make an effort to get
it. The white men pay taxes
and the indolent blacks reap
the benefit. What need of
the conetitutional amendment
if this continues? _
WASHINGTON LETTER.
(M« our Special Concapoadent.(
Monday, Jan. >6. 1903.
From present indications il teems
as though the master hand of Math
ew Stanley Quay has so staked
the cards in the Senate that the
Omnibus. state hood bill will win
out and ftie territories of Oklahof
ma. New Mexico and Arizona will
come into their own.
II he does win it will be a signot
victory won over the fiercest (!pv
position, not oi»ly of nearly .all tha
republican Senators, but the Presi
dent as well. It is well known hers
that the President is opposed to the
bill becoming a law and it is even
rumor*.d that if the bill should pass
he will veto it. 1 hat shews some
more of the republican hypocrisy.
They .the admission of
those territories into the Union as
states fn their platform of 1900
without qualification and then when
the test comes, simply .because
there are liable to be s?me demo
cratic senators from one or two of
the new states they go back deliber
ately on all their promises. If the
bill does pass and the President has
not enough nerve to veto it, then
the man in either of those new
states who votes the lepublican
ticket will deliberately .Stultify him
self. If they fail to get statehood it
will be the fault of the republican
party and the present republican
administration, If they then fail
to give the democratic party that
support which its friendship for
them and .their dearest interests
clearly entitle it, they will be guil
ty of the basest ingratitude.
This statehood fight Is a very
pretty batUe as it stands now. The
leaders in the fight are Senator
Quay for the passage of the bill,
and Senator Beveridga. of Indiana,
against it. It really is amusing to
watch the old political leader from
Pennsylvania, who is the hero of a
many hard fought parliaments! y
battle, play with the precocious
youngtter from Indiana, as a cat
plays with a mouse. 'He lets him
run a certain distance and then
checks him. It 14 the master hand
in pdlitiia playing with the novice
sad before thf .haul* is bver, Mr.
Beveridga W>)l kpow more than he
did when he entered
■ i it: is open sedtt here that many
of the republican Senators who
saaisthiff : Mr! Qti*y •in
the statehood hill sre really not iu
Ayatpfthy Witt ft; buT&t they are
J* 1® anf -tsgte'
tation "at this ssaaion on the trust
auepjjop. also to delay or defeat
•the * ratification of tfee Cuban repp
ricity treaty. The beet sugar peo
p'e are agaipsUhe tfonly, but some
.of them cannot afford tin go against
| they sre using the statehood hoi to
[ de'ay the game hoping that the
session may end without action oo
the treaty. There are others who
' are against any action on the trust
- question, but they know that If the
I matter should come to n vote In
f the Senste they would be compell
ed to vote for soese sort of an snti
' trust bill in order to make good
their campaign vociferation against
trusts, even though it be only a
- stuffed club with which to hit the
trusts, snd every bill suggested so
s far by the republicans leaders is of
that nature. There would be very
little opposition to them on the
part of the trusts because they (the
' trust) know they cannot be hurt by
anything the republicsns hsve of
fered ss s remedy for the evil, but
the republicsns do no want to do
snything st s'l in that line if
csn help it, and, therefore, they are
using the ststehood bill to soap the
track of anti trust legislation.

Words Net Becked by Deeds.
The good old game of anti-trust
bluff is indulged in dally by the re
publicans at both ends Pennsylsnis
Avenue. It is both amusing snd
harmless to those who understand
G. O. P. po'itics snd methods, but
[ it is plsyed with great vigor snd
. strenuosity by the participants, be
cause that they imagine that a ma
jority of the voters s'e chumps snd
can be fooled all of the time.
None of the numerous republi
csns who hsve introduced snti
[ trust bills wish sny hsrm to the
trusts. Esch, however, is snxious
to be seen posing ss s trust-buster
snd each is trying to steal anti
' trust thunder from theothers. Hosr
I Elkins. Littlefield, Jenkins, Knoi
I and the President sre in the game,
f The President, backed up by Attor
, oey General Knox, is now in the
lead. Not only is hs an experienced
player, but he hss the advantsge
of position. Hence, his nsme is
most prominent in connection with
anti-trust bills.
'That '.he President is sn expert
, player in evident to sll who hsve
observed closely h ! s recent moves.
. Thus, the Washington Stsr, the ad
fainistration organ, having an
! on Jannary 16th, that no
, diastic antitrust legislation was
I proposed in Congress snd that the
trusts had agreed to let "mild leg

[ Remand for ' some Vind of sction'
| there was an opportunity for a de
. 1 nial which would l>e most effective.
. The Picsidcnt utilized it fully and
, ! great'y increased his leid. On Wed
,' nesday, January list, the great
, newspapers of the country contain
ed a column cr so of "special '
[ news which had leaked out of the
, White House. It was said that the
( President had sent for Senators
, Aldrich and Spooner, the recog
. nized party leaders, and had simp
. ly read the riot act to them in the
f presence of his Attorney General
r He said :
> " Assurances had been given that
1 Democratic Senators would not sc

r bu* would give every assistance in
1 passing a comprehensive mes-ure.
- If the republicans, he raid, did not

had declared that franchises were
properly real estate, for purposes
of taxation. Senator Ford was
making a brilliant fight and'was
contending with the attorneys and
lobbies of the great corporations,
whose franchises were worth about
$1,000.000,003. when the Governor
prfceiving Ford's growing popu
larity. took a hand in the game.
Then,' aS now, he ostentatiously
called the legislative leaders before
him and - read the riot act'' to
them. He lectured to them oa the
unfsi ness of allowing the corpor
ations to go nntaxod. while loading
taies upon the people After he
had gotten great and undeserved
credit (ot forcing the bill through,
at the end of the in 1899,
he surprised the friends of the bill
by not signing it. and bjr calling an
extra session of the legislature to
amend it in oevetal ways, and es
pecially by taking the power to as
sess franchises away from the local
assessors aad transferring it to a
State Board. It was well known
tha) amendments were urged
by Piatt, Oded end other friends of
the corporations* Thty pretended
that it would never do to have the
wicked Democrats of New York
City assesses these franchises. A
Republican State Board, without
bias against corporations, should
be crested they, said. Against the
advice of all friends of the bill, who
sa?d the amendments Were intended
to kill it by msking it unconstitu
tional, " the corporations got Gov.
Roosevelt to weakly yield to their
demands," as Senator Ford now
saysj
Commenting on the court dec is
sion. Senator Ford says: '
I told Gov. Roosevelt that the
creation of the State Board of tax
commissioners was both ex pensive
and unconstitutional. He told me
that he had been advised by the
very highest judicial authority that
even if the creation of the State
tax commission was declared un
constitutional, that the establish
ment of the principle that a fran
chise or privilege could be taxed as
real estate would nor be affected.
He also told me, however, that ttve
fame highest judicial. authority
mainlined «M» part of the new
bill waa unconstitutional. ' *
has been said thfct Gov. R6oeevelt
wss hoodwinked by the corpor
ations. I poj think so. He is
an intelligent 1
talks with him every day op th|
danger of listening to the soph is
try of the corporation lawyers,
Why he would nt consent, lathe
lav as it was fina'ly. passed until
he had put off its operations g year
He thus made the corporations a
present of so many millions."
