'J Wttto the Jilatorlc gavel used by Gen :r eral George Washington, in laying the .Comer stone of tbe Capitol US years ago; Grand Master waiter A. Brown, of tbe District Grand Lodge of Ma sons, struck the block three times and pronounced it well .and truly laid. After tbe formal ceremonies, Presi dent Roosevelt made the following significant address: Over- a Peatery ago Washington laid the corner stone of tbe capttol in what was then little more than a tract of wood- ed wilderness here beside the Potomac We now find it necessary to provide by great additional buildings ror the busi ness of the Government. This growth in the need for the housing of the Gov ernment Is but a proof and example of i ue way in wmcn uie nation has grown and the sphere of artlon of tho National Government has grown. Wo now ad minister the affairs of. a nation in which the extraordinary growth of population is out stripped by the growth of wealth and the growth In complex Interests. The material problems Ihut face us to day are not such as they were In Wash ington's time, hut the underlying facts of human nature are tho same now as they were then, lender the altered ex ternal form we war with the same ten dencies toward evil that were evident In Washington's time, and are helped by the same tendincies for good. It is about some of these that 1 wish to say a word to-day. THE MAN WITH THE MUCK-RAKE. In Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress you may recall the description of the Man with the Muck-rake, the man who could look no way but downward, with the muck -rate In his hand; who was offered a celestial crown for his much -rake, but who would neither look up nor regard the crown he was offered, but continued to rake to himself the filth of the floor. CAN BEB NOTHING THAT 18 LOKTT. In Pilgrim's Progress the Man with the Muck-rake is set forth as the example of him whose vision is fixed on carnal In stead of spiritual things. Yet he also typifies the man who In this life con sistently refuses to see aught that Is lofty, and tlxes his -yes with solemn In tentness only on that which Is vile and debasing. Now. It Is veTy necessury that we should not flinch from seeing what Is vile and debasing. There Is filth on the floor, and It must be scraped up with the muck-rake; and thTe are times and places where this service' Is the most needed of all the service that can he performed. But the man who never thinks or speaks or writes, save of his feats with the muck-rake, speedily be comes, not a help to Boclety, nor an In citement to good, but one of the most potent forces for all evil ECONOMIC AND BOOIAL. ENDH. There are, In the body politic, economic and social, many and grave evils, and there Is urgent necessity for the sternest war- upon them. There should be re lentless exposure of and attack upon 11 ( y' "f ''' 1" s " m ' ' i 1'V ''' "sf f HE TO Y1 ' j. " 5s every evil practice," whether In politics, li business, or. in social: lire., I. hall as .1 benefactor every writer or speaker, every man who,' on. the platform, ot itt book, magaslne, or newspaper, with "merciless severity makes suck attack, nrovided at wars that be-in tarn remembers that the suae is or use only if It Is absolutely truthful. The liar Is no Whit better than the thief, and IF bis mendacity takes the torn ot sianaer, ne may oe worse man Biost "thieves. It cuts a. nremium aoon knavery untruthfully to attack an hon est man. or even with hysterical ex aggeration to assail a bad man with tin? vruin.-; ?; ,an epraemro oi 'iiiaescriirunmn assault upon character does not , good, but very, great harm. - The soul of every scoundrel is gladdened whenever an honest man Is assailed, or even a scoundrel Is untruthfully assailed, v. . REACTION INVITED. Now, It Is easy to twist out of" shape what I have Just said, easy to affect to misunderstand it, and. If It Is slurred over In repetition, not difficult really to misunderstand It Some persons are sin cerely incapable of understanding that to denounce mud slinging does not mean the Indorsement of whitewashing, and both the Interested Individuals who need whitewashing, and those who practice mud slinging, like to encourage such con fusion of ideas. One of the chief counts asalnst those who make indiscrintnate assault upon men in business or men in public life, is that they Invite a reaction which is sura to tell oowerfullv In favor of the unscrupulous scoundrel who really ought to be attacked, who ought to be exposed, who ought, If possible, to be put In the penitentiary. If Arlstldea is Drained overmuch as lust, oeople set tired of hearing it; and overcensure of the un just Anally and from similar reasons re sults in their favor. A PROPOUND DETERRENT. Anv excess la almost sure to invite a reaction; and, unfortunately, the reaotlon. Instead of taking the form of punishment of those guilty or the excess, is apt to take the form either of punishment of the .unoffending or giving Immunity, and even strength, to offenders. The effort to make financial or political profit out of the destruction of character can only result In public calamity. Gross and reckless assaults on character, whether on the stump or In the newspaper, magazine, or book, create a morbid and vicious public sentiment, and at the same time act as a profourTd deterrent to able men of normal sensitiveness and tend to prevent them from entering the public service at any price. As an Instance In point, I may mention that one serious difficulty en countered in getting mo riant type or men c dig the i'anama uanai is tne certainty hat they win do expose, Dotn witnoin. rind, I am sorry to suy, sometimes wlth- Conaress. to utterly reckless as saults on their character and capacity. THE PRESIDENT'S PLEA. At the risk of repetition let me say again that my plea Is. not for Immunity but ror the most unsparing exposure r,f the politician who betrays his trust. of the big business man who makes or spends his fortune In Illegitimate or cor rupt ways. There should be a resolute effort to hunt every such man out of the position he has disgraced. Expose the crime, and hunt down the criminal; but' remember, that even In the case of crime, if It Is attacked In sensational, lurid, and untruthful fashion, the attack miy do more damage tothe public mind than the crime Itself. It Is because I feel that here should be no rest In the endless war against tne forces ot evil mat l sk that the war be conducted with sanity k well as with resolution. The men with he muck-rakes are often lndlspensible to the well-being or society; but if they know when to stop raking the muck, , nd look upward to the celestial crown hove them, to the crown of worthy en deavor. There are beautiful things above and round about them; and If they grad ually grow to feel that the whole world Is nothing but muck, their power Is gone. If the whole picture Is painted black here remains no hue whereby to single ut the rascals for distinction from their fellows. Such painting finally induces a kind of moral color-blindness; and peo ple affected by It come to the conclusion that no man is really DiacK, ana no man really white, but they are all grey. In ther words, they neither believe in the ruth of the attack, nor the honesty of he man attacked! they grow as suspic ious of the accusation as of the offense; it. becomes well-nlsh hopeless to stir them either to wrath against wrong-do ing or the enthusiasm for what Is right; G O E have been busy all week taking stock We tfii by to-morrow night or Tuesday Then we'll mark it and move it at once to our store, corner Trade and College Streets, where it will be sold It's a big stock by far the largest that has been thro years and the prices that will be put on it will be felt all over this section of the ;Carolinas. The entire stock is brand new for the company had been in business only a year.

" " , j V THB BCOFFINO SPIRIT, - To assail the great and admitted evils of our political and industrial lira with sucb rude and sweeping generalisations as to Include decent men In tbe-general condemnation aaeans the searing the public conscience. There results a general attitude either of eynlcal belief in the inri!rrno to nubile corruption or else of a- distrustful inability to discriminate between the good ana iam ma.?imuK attitude- is fraught with uirtold damage to the country as a whole. - The fool w has not sense' lo discriminate, between what is good and what Is bad Is well nigh as dangerous as the man who does discriminate and , yet chooses ithe bad. There is nothing more distressing to every good patriot, to every grow Amer ican, than the hard, scoffing Spirit which treats tne allegation oi ommwir, in public man as a cause for laughter. Such laughter is worse than the crackling of ihnma under s-noL for It denotes not merely the vacant mind, but the heart In which high emotions have been choked before they could grow to fruition. HYSTERICA!. SENSATIONALISM There Is any amount Of good in the world, and there never was a time when loftier and more disinterested work for the betterment of mankind was being done than now. The forces-that tend for evil are arrest and terrible, but tbe forces of truth and love and courage and hon esty and generosity and sympathy are a so stronger than ever neiore, u is a i- i w. h.n . wteked ; thing, to blink tne fact that tbe forces of j between those-gained aa an, incident to eviWare strong, but It Is even worse to : performing great services to tho cenunu en . i, tha trantrth of! nlty as s whole, and those gained In evil the forces that tell for good. Hysterical ! sensationalism Is the very poorest weapon wherewith to fight tor lusting righteous- ness. The men who. with stern sobriety i tunes in any way compensates lor mis and truth assail the many evils of the conduct la making them. As a matter of time, whether In the public press- or in inisi vunviouon, maa wiubjui inowuu magaslnes, or In books, are the leaders ilng to discusa the details or ; formulate and allies of all engaged In the work for the system, I feel that we shall sjltlroate soCial and political betterment. But If i ly have to consider the adoption of some they aive rood reason for distrust of ; such scheme as that of a progressive tax what they say. If they chill the ardor h d.n.iui imth nsA nrimnrv vlrtue. they thereby betray the gpod ; cause, and play Into tne nanas or tne very men against whom they are nom inally at war. THE PERIOD OF UNREST. In his Ecclesiastical Polity that fine old Elizabethan divine, Bishop Hooker, wrote: He that goeth' about to persuade a multitude that they are not so well gov erned as they ought to be, shall never want attentive, end favorable hearers; because they know the manifold defects whereunto every kind of regimen Is sub ject, but the secret lets and difficulties, which In public proceedings are Innumer able ana inevnaDie, tney nave not orui narlly the Judgment to consider." This truth should be kept constantly In mind by every free people desiring to preserve tha sanity and poise indispen slhle to the permanent success of self government. Vet, on the other hand. It Is vital not to permit this spirit of sanity and self-command to degenerate Into mere mental stagnation. Bad though a state of by st erica I excitement is, and evil though the results are which come from the violent oscillations such excitement Invariably produces, yet a sodden acqui escence In evils even worse. At this mo ment we are passing through a period of great unrest social, political and. Indus trial unrest. It Is of the utmost Import ance for our future that this should prove to be not the unrest of mere rebellious nrss against life, of mere dissatisfaction with tha InevltnMe Inpnlinlltv of conill- tiong but the unrest of a resolute and eager ambition to secure the betterment of the Individual and the nation. So far as this movement of agitation through out the country takes the form of a fierce discontent with evil, of a determination to punish the authors of evil, whether In Industry or politics, the feeling Is to be heartily welcomed as a sign of healthy life. "HAVE NOT8" AGAINST THE "HAVES." If, on the other hand, it turns Into a mere crusade of appetite against appetite, of a contest between the brutal greed of the "have-nots" and the brutal greed of the "haves." then It has no significance for good, but only for evil. If it seeks to establish a line of cleavage, not along the line which divides good men from bad, but along that other line, running $ were bought by cases.

There Is mighty little good In a mere spasm of reform. The reform that counts Is that which eom.es through steady, con tinuous . growth; violent emotionalism leads to exhaustion- -'j A TAX ON -rORTCNES. " It Is Important to this people to grapple with the problems connected with tha amassing of enormous fortunes, and the use of those' fortunes, both corporate and individual in business. We should .dis- riminate in. tne sharpest way : between fortunes well-won and fortunes' lli-won: fashiqn bjr;keeplng Just wlt?ln h umt of mere law-honesty. Of - courses no, amount of charity In spending such tor-, on all rortunes, beyond a certain amount, either siven m life, or devised or be- queathed upon death to any Individual a tax so framed as to put It out ot the power or the owner or one of tnese enor mous fortunes to hand on more than a certain amount to any one Individual; tbe tax, of course, to be Imposed by the na tional and not the State government Such taxation, should, of course,- be aim ed merely at the inheritance or transmis sion in .tbe entirety ot those fortunes swollen neyona an neaitny limits. . CORPORATION LEGISLATION. Again, the national government must in some form exercise supervision over corporations engaged In lnter-8tate busi nessand all large corporations are en gaged in inter-State business whether by license or otherwise, so as to permit us to deal with the far-reaching evils of over-capitalisation. This year ' we are making a 'beginning In the direction of serious effort to settle some of these eoo mSmio problems by the railway rate leg islation. Such legislation, If so framed, as I am sure It will be. as to secure de finite and tangible results, will amount to something of Itself: and it will amount to a great deal more in so far as it Is .taken as a first step in the direction of a pol lv at BUfMtintnlAncA And omit ml over corporate wealth engaged In Inter-State. commerce, this superintendence and con trol not to be exercised in a- spirit ot malevolence toward the men who nave created tha wealth, but with the Arm pur pose both to do Justice to fkem and to see that they In turn do Justice to the pub lic at large. The first requisite In the public serv ants who are to desl In tnls shape with corporations, whether as legislators or ar executives, is honesty. This honesty can bo no respecter of persons. There can be no snch thing as unilateral honesty. The danger is not really from corrupt corpor ations; it springs from the corruption It self, whether exercised for or against corporations, WARPED AND MOCK MORALITY. The eighth commandment reads, "Thou shalt not steal." It does not read, "Thou Shalt not steal from the rich man." It does not read, "Thou shalt not steal from the poor man." It reads simply and plainly, "Thou shalt not steal." No good whatever will come from that warped and mock morality which denounces the mis deeds of men of wealth and forgets the misdeeds practiced at their expense; A h E Mr Hood on his Ike fine Laces i e i !or Announcement oi nin ; n c , , , , i , ,. , ... .

Tbe men of wealth wha to-dav are trvlna to prevent tbe regulation and control or their business in the interest of the public by the proper government authorities will not succeed. In my iudarment. in check- tng the progress of tho movement. But If they did succeed they would And tbat they .had sown the wind and would sure ly reap the whirlwind, for they would ultimately provoke -the violent -excesses which accompany a reform coming by convulsions instead of by Steady and nat ural growth, f WILD PREACHERS OF UNREST. On' the other hand, tha wild preachers of unrest and discontent, the wild agita tors: against tne entire existing order, tne men who act crookedly. whether because of sinister design or from' mere pustle beadedness, the men who preach destruc tion without proposing any substitute for what they Intend to destroy, or who pro pose) a substitute which would be far worse than the existing evilsall these men are- tho most dangerouf opponents of real reform. If they jet their way they will lead the peoplcMjnto a' deeper pit than any Into which-tfley could fall under the present system. If they fall to get their way they will sUII do Incal culable harm by provoking the kind of reaction, which In its revolt against the senseless evil of their teaching, would en throne more securely than ever the very evils which their misguided followers be lieve- tney are attacatng. SYMPATHY or MAN 70R MAN. More Important than all else Is the de velopment of the broadest sympathy of man foe man. The welfare of tbe wage worker, tbe welfare of the tiller of the soil, upon tnese depend tne welfare or the entire country: their good Is not to .be sought .in pulling down others; but their good must be -the prime object of all our statesmanship. - 1 ' 3 , Materially we must strive to secure a broader economic opportunity for all men, so that each shall have a better chance to show tbe stuff of which he Is made. Spiritually and ethically we must strive to -bring about clean living and tight thinking. We appreciate that the things of tbe body are important; but we appre ciate also that the things of the soul are lmmeasuraoiy more - important.

He writes: "Twenty years ago I had severe hemorrhages of ths lungs, and was near death when I began taking Dr. Kine-'s New Discovery. It eemnletelw cured me and I have remained well ever since." It cures hemorrhages, chronic coughs, settled colds and bronchitis, and Is the only known cure for weak lungs. Every bottle guaranteed by R. H. Jor dan at Co., Druggist.
