We have shown. ' , ,1'further, that even If the chief sources f Enfllsh strength ( heap and abun ' dant akllled labor, cheap money, and "i Unique marketing, shipping and bank , , Hig tacllltles were shared with the Vnltefl SUtea, there would aHl re- main the necessity Tor -auMes auffl I, clent to cover the Increased cost of 1 : pottos goods production brought ' 1 about by the protective system as a who)e. It U not conceivable that the American cotton manufacturer could bear the existing duty of 45 per cent :,i -updn machinery If -he received noth fnf'Mn return. This duty should be lsrgely reduced, but It almost certain ly will not be, and the fact demands recognition. We have also taken oc casion to point out that the cotton goods Industry Is not in a trust, di rectly or Indirectly benefits millions of people no one more than the South ern farmer and on all accounts mer its liberal tariff treatment at least as much as any other American Indus try. With this country Importing cotton goods to an amount equal twice Its export, and with rotton goods fur :J nlshlng the second largest item of tar iff revenue. It Is clear at a glance that present duties on thexe Items cannot be prohibitory.

The - a. fact that by sinKling out coarse goods " for hea reduction th South can be J burdened without very murh effect on New England should Insure defensive activity by Southern interests.

It has arrived, and along with it a seri ous problem. In league towns what about people preoccupied with work or eccentrically Indifferent toward the game? As a rule, they roust .undejrxo . great hardship. We propose to con sider their pli?ht from the standpoint of cause and cure. The baseball fever Is a -disease which, though usually harmless or even beneficial, has definite symptoms and runs a definite course. Coming on before May 1, it often lasts during the entire warm period and does not disappear until after frot. It is high ly contagious, spreading from one per son to another with Kreat rapidity. Its most chatarterlstic feature, however, lies in the fact thai It produces tem porary monomania, especially among people not blessed with very rich or varied intellectual endowments and yet without any monomania of the year-round kind. They are compara tively few who escape infection alto gether. The result Is social Isolation for the uninfected Individual here and there. Once he may have shone in conversation, but he can scarcely find company that seems endurable. Kverywhcre about him are the deliri ous ravlrige of the fevered. He can not f u essfully adopt the wretched expedient of himself pretending to rave, even though he may have had tin." .-anie dis. ace In former years; for how shall one to whom HO-calld local players are little more than names hold converse with one who has stud led every player In the league as horses' points are studied and has formed a thousand violent prejudices In consequence 7 Not knowing me i asevs from me r lynns ana me makes, and possessing only a very ha zy Idea o( how team stand, an out sider can 111 take part In the heated contentions of those who think base- hall matters by day and dream them by night. The unfortunate, therefore, feels cut off from his kind. At hotels and boarding houses former table au tocrats become weary of life. And now for the remedy. Let im munes organize for mutual solace; let them separate themselves from the community at large, draw apart, be during some months a peculiar people. Such as do not feed in home of their own should have special feeding places, or. at least, special tables. All should draw together socially, through clubs and otherwise. Thus leagued, they can get through the summer with surprisingly little misery. To be bored Is a form of life-shortening torture which civilized man should avoid. If by the observations Just made we have shown a. way out of threatened boredom for any one, our efforts are richly repaid. IN DARKEST EURASIA. Cable dispatches make it clear that terrlblo scenes must have been wit nessed at Adana and various other towns of Asiatic Turkey. Wild tribes men have murdered, plundered and carried off captives. As when Jews are massacred In Russia, religious fanaticism has been equally a pretext as a motive. The Turkish authorities at some places have shown themselves guilty of a neglect amounting to posi tive complicity. "One man. the vail. Is responsible for the disorders here." said Stephen Trowbridge, an Ameri can missionary at Adana. "He had It in hi power to suppress lawlessness and massarre, but deliberately re frained from dolrtg so. He said sim ply. We are h0.t responsible.' The bet ter class of Turks in Adana. the mem bers of the committee of union and progress, are deeply grieved and sad dened at these dreadful events. Some of them are ready to Join us In relief work for tho Armenians. One bey already has opened his house to refu gees." It should be taken Into con sideration that the culpable authori ties belong to the unf-pisakahle re gime which was overthrown at Con stantinople. Before lonfc they will And themselves replaced by men of en lightenment and humanity men like the Adana missionaries' friends in trouble. The day for such outrages began passing when Abdul Hamld fell. While this corner of the world re mains dark let us look at it a moment through Byron's eyes. In their occa sional Irruptions upon civilised com munities Kurds and Circassians re main to-day what their fathers were and what kinsmen across the Bos phorus weYe when they "half-sang. half-screamed:" "Oh. who Is more brave than n dark SulrMe.

"Remember the moment when Trevisa fell The shrieks of the. conquered the con Th roof, that we fired, ths plunder we Th. rjuh'v we slaughtered, the lovely we spared." Members of the New York cham ber of commerce r greatly dissat isfied with a tariff-making method which involves halting the country's business and is Inefficient in the ex treme, besides.. They want an ex pert tariff commission, the tariff to be up all the time, and yet only & little at any one time. There ir no small likelihood that the "New York chamber of commerce as a body will go on record to tttfs eiTrrt. Ami thus the movement spreads Do they have near-poet? ..n Mars? We trust that the signallers now mak ing preparations will not fail to make this Inquiry. . : . , ' . i "W$ quite agree with Associate Jus tic Brown, as quoted la a' Raleigh dispatch, that President Taft's unfor tunats delay la lie eastern judgeship appointment hadone aa Irreparable injury to tl Judgeship; no matter who Is appointed? It only remains to con tinue hoping that the performance will ,b called off as soon as possible. If President Taft gets that Moor l-cpunty rasortback dinner in Char lotte Before the Federal Judgeship race end. Mr. H. F. Beawell, of Car thage, will doubtless make a great -bound frorrrthe rear to his former place at he front. The trtrth of an heir to Holland's throne may not make the little king dam's Independence really more se cure, but if the Dutch people are hip py in believing that it will the world at large should not disturb their Il lusion. PLACE MONOCE-VTS XEXT WEEK. Seventy Commemorations of the) Mecklenburg Declaration of Inde pendence to Be Located at Regular Intervals on the Street Desired That Dome of Court House Shall Be lighted at Night. Beginning about a week from to morrow, the work of distrib uting seventy white monuments commemorating the signing of the Meckftnburg Declaration of Independence, that Infamous and traitorous document, according to the representative of GeoNre Ill will hegln. It will occupy about a week of time. Sixteen feet high, including the base, each will be surmounted by an American flag flying In Ihe breezes, "May 20. 1775." has been In scribed on each. The monuments are made In rharlotte" and will be ready In a few days. They will be stationed at regular Intervals along the streets in the heart of the city. One of the things which the people of Charlotte are anxious to have Is an electrical Illumination of the dome of the court house of the County of Mecklenburg, situated Just to the rear of the spot where the Declaration monument rises In perpetual attesta tion and memorlallzatlon of the aut burst against English tyranny which played Its part In turning the tiat or popuiar opnuun .."... .. ment of the British sovereign, mattly resulting in the birth of ihe mightiest world power the globe knows to-day. Practically nothing of t this building will be visible behind ihe, review ing stand except the dome and , It Is highly appropriate that there should be there an electrical display worthy of the county which the bulU tnr represents. This Is not merely a ( hnrlotte celebration, It 1. In fact, a Rtate celebration; certainly It Is one In whose every detail Mecklenburg county feels an Impulsive anJ deep seated interest, since It Is the Meck lenburg and not the Charlotte Decla ration which has gone Into history as a distinctive event In an epochal pe riod of history -moulding. This is tho only structure In the city In which the county has any part. The commis sioners will be asked to adorn the top so that It shall be a crown of glory. Give ear. o conscript fathers! MAY DAY YESTERDAY. Dan of the Woman's Club to Raise Fund With Wlileli to Buy Rooks For Library Carried Out Mome thlng Over It 00 Raided. Homethlng shove 1409 was extract ed from pedestrians by fair collectors yesterday who lay In wait at every street corner and every public place. It was the Carnegie Library they were working for tirelessly all day long. The Woman's Club planned to celebrate May Day by sending forth a band of maidens to solicit money to buy books for the library, whose shelves are not ns full as should be those of a city of this size. The young ladies made good from the .lump. Citizens soon learned that It was the part of wis dom to come across generously when fhst approached. This done, they were provided with a tag which ex empted them from further requests. Hnrdlv one escaped and fewer than that failed to respond. Most of them rather enjoyed the sensation, prob ably If the truth were told. The per sonal equation entered Into the situa tion, a whole lot. as you can imagine, and the personality of the advocates brouKht forth dollars sometimes when perhaps the cause alone would have i secured only quarters. Though the members are not sat isfied with the amount raised, the Woman's Club has cause to congrat ulate Itself on the success of Its day's work and the young ladles who so coiirngeosuly stayed at their po.sts de serve the thanks of the patrons of the library. A WORTH-WHILE SWAP. Cnknovn Young Man Who U Fleet of Foot Helps Hlmelf to a Pleoe of Ileaulear in H. C. Ixwur'e Store. Walking into the clothing store of the H. C. Long Company last night about !i SO o'clock, a young man se lected a 13.50 brown soft hat from the array before him. thrust It on his head and walked swiftly out, leaving a poor excuse of a worn-out specimen In Its place. The proprietor saw him go, but supposed he had made a pur chase, as he came In right behind two others of about lii years, who were being waited on. 'Salesman Medlln darted out of the store after him. The thief saw him coming and ran. Three blocks the chase continued. The man pursued was lost trace of about the corner of Church and Fifth engineer ing his fHfht rapidly up Church It was a. slick trick, though a pretty big risk to run, even if a pretty hat were at stake. Mr. Lon says the fellow showed excellent taste. The man's seeming companions de nied know-ledge of him. Remain a Week Longer. Mr. Lloyd Llles. of Spartanburg. S. C, was m the city yesterday. An agreement was effected with him by Messrs. W. S Shelor A Cor., whereby they will use- their present store room on South Trron one week more.

The colleges of the .South will be Invited to send a representative and It Is ex pected that this feature will become one of the greatest of the. occasion. Owing to the popularity of such an event, the committee thought it wise to promote It at this time and to begin work at orioe toward petting the large number of colleges in the South Identified with the movement. The amount of money which the com mittee agreed to set aside will doubt less prove an Incentive to a large number of entries. The rac9 will be run on a five-mile course and there will probably be several other shorter courses to be run, prizes to be given for the successful representatives In each. This will be the first Marathon race ever given In the South and a committee will be appointed at once to bring the details of the event to completion. THE DRILLS FOR T UK TROOPERS. The manouevres of ihe cavalry and Infantry will be prime features of the flrst two days of the celebration.
