A newspaper that does not make

It appears that party lines are be

As Uncle Sam has a surplus in the

S"lf-help is all right provided one

Those who attend the city league

In the tight of the Day portrait and

treasury surplus is truly unexpected.
When Ty Cobb goes Into vaudeville
be may find that making a bit and

things.

TO LIST PKKSOX.VL
PnOPKKTV. ,
As the question of listing property
for taxation Is nB that Is engaging
the public thought at the present
time, this beinK the year for general
Ire-assessment of all kinds of prop
erty it may bo well to fall the at
tention of the public, and especially
the attention ot the 'public 'author
ities, to the provision of Section
5232 of the HevisaL After ompow
cring the board of commissioners to
placr upon the tax books any land
that iuay have escaped taxation, that
section provides:
' "In all cases where any personal
property, choses in action, or any
property except land, liable to taxa
tion shall have been omitted or shall
bo omitted in rny future year on thej
tax list by the owner, or person re
Quired by law to list the same, the
board of commissioners shall enter
the same on. the duplicate of the
next succeeding year, and shall ndd
ic? the taxes of the current year the
simple taxes of last preceding yesr,
not exceeding five years, with twn
ty-five per centum added thereto, in
which said property as aforesaid
shall so have escaped taxation and
tne said board of commissioners
shall value and assess the personal
property aforesaid for those years,
and are empowered to examine wit
nesses and to call for papers to -le-
termine the value and to ascertain
the persons liable for the tax upon
iu personal property. All pro
visions of this section shall extend
and apply to all cities, towns and like
municipal corporations having tfc
power under their charter to tc
the property aforesaid, and the oow
era. ana uuues oerein imposed upon
the board of commissioners of t'le
i-uumy snau re exerc'sea ana per
formed by ths board of commission
ers, or the board of aldermen, as the
case may be, of the city or town or
other municipal corporation."
bo inai m aaiuon to tne pro
vision ot the Isw, that a person who
falls to -list his personal property
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor
and upon conviction punished by
fine or imprisonment or both in the
discretion of the court, tbe impris
onment not to exceed two years, tbe
law provides taat he shall be liable
for the tax tor the years in which the
said personal property has escaped
taxation, not exceeding five .years.
and an additional penalty of twentv-
flve per cent A be added thereto.
It must be apparent to every per
son that the failure to list property
subject to taxation by our law affects
not only tbe poor but affect the
rich also. If the mast of large prop
erty fails to list bis property for
Uxation, then the property of thov
ho list is thereby contributing a
burden that it ought not to be justly
called upon to contribute, and lue
larger tbe tax levied by the taxing
authorities, the greater this burden.
What equity, or what justice Is tb?r
in requiring Mr. A to list sll of alt
property to psy'for Mr. B who fails
to list his property? It is, It occur
to us, to ths Interest of every irop-
erty owner and of 'every person to
see thst all property Is placed upon
the Ux books snd contributes It
proper part to tbe necessary burden
of government
hkttkj: ii inking laws.
While it Is admitted by many
bankers thst North Csrolins has -
cedent banking laws, yet tbe recent
closing of 2mt nine institutions If
this stste has called for more
stringent regulation. Tbe additional
bank legislation that Is heeded In
tbe state wat clearly expressed in
the paper read at the recent bankers
convention by Mr. George Mont
castle, and siitteo by State Bark
Examiner Dou,;hton.
It is a fact that oar laws conform
to a great decree with those of the
federal banks, and that tbe Integrit y
of our leading bankers Is beyoiJ
question, yet st times, hcre we
least expect, some banker goes
tong and the blow hits tbe deposi
tors bard, wb'cfc also has a tendency
for many to lose faith In otir mone
tary Institutions This could be
largely avoided by the vigilance of
the bank dire. tors, which Mr. Doi-h-ton
expresses ss follows: "Blurt I
have tecome connected with the 'in
payment wbfr1) has la charge tfc
examination snd supervision ot
bsnks, I hsvt made a special r-.rt
to get in touch wljti tbe director
snd get thetn in touch with tho'r
bsnks. Our :sws should limit ti
number of directors, outlue and de-
One some of I heir duties, end req lire
thst those duties be discharged. I
have bad lo '.lose nine banks si
every one of tnese failures, lth
pMMibly one exception, could have
been prevented by a reasonable
amount of vlg:lsnee on tbe part ot
tbe board of directors."
Mr. Doughton further stales thM
f,00 bsnks are dangerous to s ty
community, ss the msjorlty of th
jstock ia tbt small institutions are
F .41 LIKE
as a rule held by one man. In (mint
ing out the -i-eat danger he adi's:
"Without ' question ths greatpU
danger which threatens solvent
banking In tbt slate today lies In
the large lines of credit which small
banks are extending and in this con
nection by s rail banks my meimlng
is not confined to those of five o tn
or even fifteen thousand dolHirs
capnai.. uur law wisely patte-ns
after the national banking act far
enough to say that banks with over
1100,000 capital may not lend more
man 10 per cent of the cap'tal and
surplus to an? one Individual firm or
corporation, but it' places on other
institutions no limitations whats
ever. To be sure, this is left to tbe
discretion an.! direction of the cor
poration commission, but it ought tn
be regulated by statute, and no bank
ought to be permitted to promote
and virtually finance outside con
cerns. It is a 'Hscrlminat'on against
the bank of large capital, the justice
of which I am unable to see."
XO CONSTITUTIONAL COX VEX.
TIOX XKCKSSARY.
The masterly and thought produc
ing address of Judge J. S. Manning
which appears in full elsewhere in
these columns will repay careful
perusal.
Judge Manning takes the ground
that the calling of the much talked
about Constitutional convention to
revise the constitution of North Oar
olina is entirely unnecessary at this
time. His conservative and Judicial
presentation of the situation that
now confronts tbe people of the state
Hill have a steadying effect on the
public sentiment that just now seems
bent upon a rampage of destruction
of the fundamental principles of our
government, this sentiment finding
expression ia the advocacy of the
initiative, tt$ referendum, the recall
and . similar Innovations. Jm'gc
Manning takes the ground that it is
not necessary to change the organic
law of the country every time aome
slight reform Is desired. Along this
line. Judge Manning emphasizes the
fact that "in respect to those princi
ples which are fundamental to tbe
preservation of the liberties of a
people and the perpetuation of the
right of tbe people to direct and con
trol their own government, no mis
take was mad by our fathers, and
no change has been made nor will
ever be made In them by our people.
Passing generations and passing -en-turles
but fix snd illuminate tbe
truth of these principles snd make
them Immortal. The
people of ths arate heretofore1 have
been led to cat! a constitutional con
vention only when some vital end
fundamental principle of government
stirring and t-xciting the whole peo
ple has been presented for solution
uot simply when there is presented
some question cf reform of legisla
tive methods, or the salary of some
c;ass of stste Hikers or tbe mere
adjustment of some one branch of
the state government"
The constitutional amendments
that Have been discussed recently
relate to the -eto power of the gav-
ernor, the aboi-tlon of the office ot
stllcltor, the Increase of tho number
of supreme coiwl Judges, changes in
tbe present superior court system of
tbe state so ss to divide the state
Into two or troie circuits of rotation,
snd to reform legislative procedure
or restricting the subject tn whlca
the general assembly can IcgUlcte
by special act I
No great o.' fundamental tlnct
pks of fivcrnmert Is Involved In sny
of these questions; no great question
that can stir tne thought snd emo
tions of all of tho people, but tmiv
questions of policy and eft'tency f t
the administration of government.
In the opinion of Judge Ma.mlng, 'if
any of these rubjeeis should be in
ccrporsted into to organic law ot
the state, the proper method It .
s ibmlt amendments to the approval
of the people of the stale ass whole,
etd not by calling a convention.

A v?ry Interesting pamphlet his
Just been Issued by the Journal of
the American Medical assorts) lot
showing tbe convictions that hav
Iwen secure 1 under the pure drug
set, and the tiortrums tbst hsve Wn
bsrred from 'mer-atate commerce,
The Isbels flst ntlng the all curative
properties snd wholesome Ingredi
ents of thews preparations ,are set
forth In the .mpblet over against
the substances that Ice preparation
actually contained ss shown by rn
examlnstion cf tbe government
chemists. Patent cures for almost
ery known disease from hsdseh
to rsncer wer examined by the gov
ernment rben..r., and In hundred
of esses ibert cure-alls were fun
to contain dangerous and poisonous
drugs that undermine the health.
"For instance," says the etnct
from tho Medical Journal, ''Ruber'
N. Harper, .if Washington, D. C.
manufactured a headache nostrum to
which he gave the euphonious name
'Harper's Cu'orhedake Brane-Fmle,
This was sold with that' statement
that It contained no 'pqisonous lit
.gradients of any kind'
(was a 'harmless relief.'
and that
The bureau
of chemistry of the department - of
j agriculture analysed this 'harntlo-,3
and 'non-poiaonous' preparation and
I reported that !t consisted of tho foK
lowing ingredients: ' ..-.
Alcohol (per ont by vdjume)' 2i.P.
Acentanllid (grains pif ouncc);ii.O
Csffein (per -xnt) . . . t ..
Anupynn (pr tfnt) . s . .". lo

(If L . ...
luusmucu Kg tnig nostrum was
shown to be neither 'harmless,' -non
poisonous' nor a 'brain food,' Mr.
Harper was fiund guilty Of mis
branding and sentenced to pay a fine
of 3700.." !
Numbers of other headache cure
were found to contain practUally the
same ingrcdlerts. ' -
It was In the examination of nenu-
ty preparations that the most inlr
est centers. Of these, there are s!so
a largo number that were br.rrod
from inter-stato "commerce. Ihn
analysis of "Mme. Yales Blu.si of
Youth" is a good instance.
"Blush of youth is refresh in? as
concentrated dew, pure as purity it
overcomes all inactivity and imper
fection ot tha skin and underlying
structure; spiritualizes the cxprj-
sion and gives the countenance tbe
glow, luster an 1 beauty of childhood
and prcservjs the morning of life
indefinitely."
For those who, liko Ponce .de
Lean, are looking for somwning of
this kind, tho Investigation of the
government cLemlBt may prove In
teresting. According to his analysis.
"Mme. Yale's Blush of Youth" con
sisted of 49.3$ per cent of water,
6.30 per cent of alcohol and alniat
43.85 per cent cf glycerin, the whole
colored with a coal tar dye and per
fumed. From this, it Is to be in
ferred, that tbe long sought for foun
tain of eternal youth consists es
sentially of a mixture of water snd
glycerin with a dash ot alcohol.
