Farmers of North Carolina, farmers of South Carolina, your boys and girls are not U-ii.g so trained the farm boys nndgirls proof of this, proof that is noth ing less than alarming, i furnish. d by an ofhYial diagram just published by the United States Gjveriinieur. Our city school, the school for city buys and girls in the Carolinas, are about up to the American average; but for our country boys and girls, as this startling official table shows, the aver ge school term in North ami South Carolina is yet the lowest in the American I'mori with the single exception of wild and wooly New Mexico. Only New Mexico, the land of Indians and Mexican "greasers" saves u s from beingnt thefootof the whole list. What s'lall we do ab ut it? There is but one thing to do. Our legislatures meet in a few weks now, and to them our farmers, an 1 farmers' wives, and fanners' boys and girls, must all join in tins oue overwhelming, imperious demand: 1 You shall not adjourn until you make arrangements for at least au average sjx months school term for all the farm toys and girls in the State."' The task is not too big, if we make up our minds to it. Let in heritance and income taxes be levied until the rich pay us large a share of taxes as they do in England, and then make what ever added increase in the gener al tax levy is needed to provide the six months' school term for country children. We mast have it. Get behind your memler oi the Legislature. Write to him; talk to him, camp on his trail. Get your f armers' union Deuina him; get your teacher, your prea cher, your doctor, to join with you, and make it plain to him that if he comes back home with out nuking a fight, and a dead earnest, genuine fight, for a six months' school term for thecouu try boys and girls, he will never hold an office of trust or profit. Georgia, Virginia and Tennes see are doing better, and we can only urge them to keep up their fight; but to our North Carolina and South Carolina readers the call is imerative. They must wake up and get busy at once. Drives Off a Terror. The chief executioner of doath in the winter and spring months is pneumonia. Its udyance agents are colds and grip.

'Monroe Joarual. Those whoknow President-elect! A ilson were not at all surprised when he announced that he would cull an extra sessiou ot Cungress immediately alter Lis inaugura tion for the purpose of carrying out the campaign promises re garding the tuiiff. All the direct, indirect, implied and exp'icit promises of the party were that the tariff laws should l reformed at once at cut to tl.e extent of cutting off the mo-tt glaring in justices and oppressions an l after that, gradually until an honest tarifTfor revenue only had been made. Protection as a pol icy will die sooner or later, and the leniency now is toward a freer and more unhampered com merce. When the jK'ople once find, as tln-y must sooner or later that the claims of benefits I mm protection are false, the system will go. as it deserves now to go. Mr. Wilson is not coinmis-ioiird to wipe out the protective sys tem (we wlnh he were) but he is emphatically to cut out the a buses that are oppressive, to lower ail schedules gennera'ly, and to lay the foundation for a legitimate t iriff lor revenueonl.v. He is to begiu the march to wards the goal which the Balti more plattorm set up, namely, a tarifl built upon the principle that every duty other than for strict revenue is unconstitutional and theielorecannot exist. There can be no question ol both Mr. Wilson's determination and his ability to enact the first pledged tariff reforn measures. Mr Wilson's second commission having carried out the promise to sunder the alliance of special interest and the government as it is now practiced in tariff legis hit ion ib to attact the trust prob lem. Indeed his relorm ol the tariff will be the beginning of tne attact upon private monopoly, because this is one of the contri buting causes of that monopoly. But that widbe but the beginning and there can be no question of the fact, no doubting that Mr. Wilson will go into this question with a seriousness never before possessed by any man who had the iesponsibility of moulding legislation. In the first place, he comes with a new point of view. That point of view is that an honest solution of the question must now be found. Heretofore there has been otdy a desire to temporize a fear of antagonizing the trusts, and a lack of under standing as to what the country really wanted. Thesd conditions have passed and the trust ques tion is really the great one tor Mr. Wi!son's administration, Tatiff reform is an incidental step in preparation for the great question. On trusts we take the present frame of tuiud of thecoun try to be this: 1. That private monopoly is not the result of productive efH cienc.v no of the natural laws of commerce; that trusts have been built up and maintained by illegal and immoral means and by legal but unnatural means. This is the preponderance ol evidence. If this idea is true we want to find it out and we want to find out the means to prevent the effects to tear awaj' the causes that have produced the effect and to restore the principal of competition, be cause it is desirable. 2. II trusts are natural results modern conditions and private monopoly is inevitable, as many claim who lollow the Roosevelt school of thought, the country wants to know that fact. After this is asset tuined it will be time enough to decide on anotherstep time to decide whether to ac- cept the program of the socialists LUUMTY EXHIBIT. physician :i 1 ."(; ii ii Howe t ra vis (Continued from lat week.)
