Friday, May The Trusts' Attempt for Power The power trusts evidently want to keep the facts from the people. The method they are pursuing is apparently to purchase the large papers and furnish copy for the smaller ones. In the latter case the trusts have put before the people of the country milions of words of propa ganda. They employ many expert writers to furnish catchy and apparently valuable data favorable to their interests to the small newspapers of the coun try. Many of the small papers, hungry for material to go into their columns! use it without question. In this way, the trusts have biased the minds of mil lions of people. If the trusts succeed in getting a monoply of the large daily papers, they will then be able »to divert the minds of a large proportion of the people of the country. It is evident that the big interests already own and dominate most of the magazines. With the magazine writers paid by big interests, big -newspa|*rs owned by them and their |>aid servants furnishing much of the copy for the little newspapers, freedom of thought will be practically hedged undet one con trol. Since, there is no one |>aid to think for the ''good of the public and the world having lost all interest in the massess, evidently everyone is seeking that he. j migh find for himself only. - I ' Uneven Culture Threatens Democracy The average American is between a sixth and seventh grades, according to educational standards. This line of culture is entirely too low for a true democracy to thrive upon, and accounts, to a great extent, for the uneven social, economical and financial conditions of our people. The law of the survival of the fittest has always prevailed, the man knowing the most ruling and not the one who is physically strongest.' Mind and not muscle rules, and it rules according to its knowl edge to direct. t So far America has done well because we-had a government founded upon solid principles. Vet, it cannot continue to prosper with the bulk of the It's your opinion that interests us because we make Camels for you to smoke and enjoy CAMEL 1 CIGARETTES ARE THE BETTER CIGARETTE The world's largest group of tobacco exports ...

Soon the few will surely rule the many under such a condition. What every man needs is the ability to know as much as any of Ms fellow citiaens. A republic of un learned people has no advantages over a monarchy, because it has to depend on others to think and act for it. America, to preserve its democracy, must offer an equal education to all its children. No Surplus Available ior the Church * t The churches of this country are nearly all in fi nancial distress, all because their few friends are spending their goods in riotous living. It is only another case of leaving off the most im (Mirtant things until last. We intend to do something good, but too often we leave the best thing go until our most pressing wants are satisfied, then with our surplus money and in our spare time, if any are left, we turn to do our noble deeds. This being a day when we have neither surplus time nor money, we find ourselves unable to do the things we would like to and should do. We do not even have time for a sober thought these days, but have gotten ourselves in a state of nervous, anxious anticipation, wondering what is coming next. We are too busy with the things of the world to enjoy the real pleasures of life. Court Annuls Commission's Action • ... ■" - r The United States Supreme Court recently an nuied the Interstate Commerce Commission's rail road assessment, after the government had spent five years and many millions of dollars in taking a com plete inventory of all the railroads in the United j States. After the Commission had gone so far as to | count every tie, spike and rail, the railroads claimed j their property was worth more than the amount set up by the investigators and the Supreme Court confirmed the railroad claims, cutting the commis sion's assessment down to about half the amount. Most property owners desire low valuations, but the railroads do not; they have a guarantee assur ing them a fair return on their stock which runs about six jiercent. net of all things, including taxes. Therefore, if they get six percent on a fifty billion dollar valuation they get more than if they were only valued at twenty billion. They can easily pay a one or two cents tax rate on a high valuation, if they can earn six |ierecn» on the same valuation. The Supreme Court was divided on the question, five favoring the railroads' claim and three voting , Q : • ™ . against it. • Fish Hatcheries ——— s Fishermen are catching more .rock in the Roanoke liver at this time than they have bagged for many years, indicating that the hatcheries maintained by the United States Government ate proving profitable. The government has been putting millions of the fish in the Roanoke for a number of years from its Weldon hatchery, affording the many fishermen a means of livelihood and the jieople a food. The hatchery at Weldon is evidently • a |>aying proposition and should be enlarged; for a little care and a small expenditure will feed thousands in fu ture years. Since the waters of this section of the State have been filled with carp, eels and catfish, it is almost impossible for shad, rock and sturgeons to raise in the open waters, making the artificial hatcheries 4 necessary to the life of these s|>ecies of fine fish.
