It we go ba-k far enough we find government near ly everywhere in the heads of a king and privileged class. In its earlier stag a the constitutional struggle was between monarchy and aristocracy. To-day in th United States the struggle is be tween a t-elf-ci instituted aristo cracy of wealth and a democracy of the masses. 'The people must win this bat lie for democracy if they would prevent the perrnunententhrone ment of an aris'ocrajy in a re publican form of government. The resolutions of course take no part in pMty questions or party men. as the Union disa vows any participation in such matters The resolutions were drawn and presented bv Dr. Al exander, the president of t li e Stale Union, and it, is not utMke iy thiit the S;ate Union wiii a uopt resolutions of a similar na lure. We are de'ghleJ to pee I hut the leaders of the Union have such u comprehensr. e view of affairs and that they see uow that the essential thing ut the pnseiit in this coiiiitry is the o verthrow ol privilege in all its forms. They see that . there can l.e no lasting remedy for the ills that the masses suffer except in the uboiition of piivilege. This is a broad and sta esman-like v iew of the subject and unques tionably the right one We can not secure eqality in this laud by patch work, because the strong will always be ready to do the patching. It the agricultural in terests admic that other inter ests rdiall have privileges and then seek to remedy the evil by securing privileges for themselves they wiil loose all, because as a matter of history, the agricultu ral interests have never in any land been able to compete with the manufacturing and comuier cij.l interests in set tiring special interests and bene II ts under the law. And they never will. The Mecklenburg Union sees that the only hope is in abolishing all spi t-ial favors, aud if this is once done the farmer will then de able to have what is his due. This is likewise true of every otherclas, particularly labor. Every nal'y thoughtful and progressive pub lie man sees the same thing and hence, the acuteness of the battle today, and the reason the stand patters in ail parties are making such der-perate effort to stein the tide of progress. The stand-pat's point of view is well expres-ed in a letter to the Charlotte Observ er a f"v days alter the alvne ie sohitions were passed in which the masses who are now 'strug gling to overthrow privilege and iavoriteism in our legislation '.' ere referred to ss the mob and the rabble. The stand if school and its advoctes and o guns in sult the intelligence of the mass es by such relprences. Because they'lear tint the intelligence of t he country w ill sooner or later ovei throw privilege they de nounce such things as the initia tive and let'e-endum, popular e ections. primaries and all such devises that tend to put more Qjti t Uiiiiii i ml Famts. ' Preca Bulletin, j North Carolina is thoroijrhJy i inoculated wit it th.- g.xid roads germ. We are all agreed t ha t i we must have It tter roll's uid the rtuly dilT r nee of opiuiin is, as to the best way to siruivj them.

The North Carolina coun ty that is doing nothing to im prove i's roa ls h now away be hind the times and will b left out in the fonvanl march of pro gress. The first effect of improved roads is to increase the value of the farmer's limber. Fure-t ducts from comparatively small areas of woodland have to be marketed over couutry roads be cause enough timber cannot be secured in one place topistdylhe expense of coes'ruetinii a log ging radi oa I or ;i Ibi'ii". (loud loads greatly re (acetic cost of hauling to market the lumber, ties and other materials, and this saving is adde 1 directly to the value of the standing timber. It is estimated thar in nearly ev ery county in the State this tim ber would be doubled in value if the main roads were improved, and this has actually Jhnppened in those counties that have se emed ood roa 's. Unfortunately, with lumbering and tires, few of us will have the amount of timber tbot we ought to have by tli? tim the good roads reach us. The movements for lorest protection and lor good roads should go hand in hand so tl.at the greatest ad van tnge would result from both. In twelve or fifteen vears time we shad have very lit 1 lo timber to market unless the lorests are riv en every opportunity roprodnce a second crop. Forest fires annu ally destroy enormous amounts of young growth and reprodue tion which, if projected, would produce f' e e.tsof much more val ue than those that are now dis appearing. Let us jtet good roads in every county in the State, bat Ictus not fail to take measures to se am? material to haul over these mails so that we shall reap the largest benefits from them- For est protection is as important to North Carolina as are good roads, and all tiie repre-ntatiyes who are sent Uj the Legislature from the various counties ol the Statu should be definitely in fa vor of these two measures. See that your representative is actively ia favor of good roads and the protection of theforests. Midnight In The ().;uks.
