XXTI GtOLDSBORO, !N". C, THUBSDAY, JUKE 25, 1908. NO. 52 OUR NEXT PRESIDENT. He will be Whom the De- mocracy Nominates. Tbe Keynott of the Coming Campaign was Sounded in the Republican Nat'.(al Convention Yester day by Cohems, of Wisconsin. Special to tbe Argtts. No truer analysis of tbe economic conditions of the time; no bolder diag nosis of tbe case from a political tand point of responsibility; no more effeetive slogan for Democracy In the coming campaign could be presented to tbe country than the speech of Henry F. Cochems.rof Wisconsin, yesterday before the Republican National con vent ion, in Cbioago.nominating Rob't. M. IA Pollettee tor the presidency. We make the following pertinent ex tracts from that speech: The paramount problem pressing for fiolntion todav has no parallel in the eonomic or Industrial history of man. Tt is an issue, not of the creation of new wealth, it is an issue ol the as imilation and distribution ol wealth now being normally created; the ship ping and consuming classes are awake and they demand relief. "At the close of the Civil War the business of the nation was conducted essentially by private individuals. In the commercial expansion caused by the telegraph, the telephone, the rail road, and the extension of banking credits, tbe necessity for larger aggre gate units ol capital arose and the cor porate idea grew. Added to this the established policy of tbe country in order to urge tbe strenuous advanee ot railread building and other public service utilities, granted sway with out compensation to the State, not only public Iranchise rights of measureless value, but with them offered huge bon uses to drive them yet more rapidly lorward. With characteristic impa ti'ence we sought to develop the full re sources of the nation in a single gener ation. "The evolution wrought by the these new forces alone changed the whole face of national economics and indus try. Then came the merger, the trust, the centralization oi competitive forces, until today a comparatively iew in dividuals dominate the field oi trans portation and franchise corporations, and in the field of industrial corpo rations nearly every commodity, in market and ki price, is controlled by a eingle unit of capital. Individualism is dead. Competition has ceased to be a vital force. The orbit of a single business otten now reaches to the ut termost limits of the civilized world. "In plain English.business in this re public is in tho hands of the few. A close community ofinterest, an alliance for offense and defense, has been es tablished which recognizes spheres of special territory and influence. This allianee is made a real and living thing by means ot bank control and the stock market. The necessity lor a market for corporate securities finds its expression in the stock exchange where the ignorant and the innocent are washed back and fourth through the, market by these few kings of in dustry, who govern the price of se curities at will. "Our failuse to revise the tariff has contributed to these conditions. Seven years ago MeKinley appealed to the party to revise. For seven years we have marched through the watefs of the Red Sea and the waters have been withheld by the hands of the patient suffrage. In the wonderful change thai wrought we have leaped from the field of individualism and competition into the new era of corporate monopoly and government regulation. The epoch and the problem are new. The responsi bility is overwhelming. Today the kings of industry and finance stand like sentinels upon every highway ol the nation's commerce, industry, and wealth distribution, appropriating to themselves what they will and yield ing to the ninety-nine per cent what they want. In a time of profound peace and prosperity we find ourselves in the throes of a panic, an army of the idle still march with the empty dinner pails. Whether a man or a set of men precipitated that panic, I do not know, but whether they did ordid not, I de clare that no sane nan will rise to challenge the statement that at their whim or caprice they could precipitate a panic while we are here in the midst of our deliberations, a panio which would bring the sting of suffering to every home in this republic ot eighty million tree men. I know, moreover that when the panic was upon us the country looked not te the president and the Congress lor relief, but raised its hands in abject appeal to Mr. Mor gan and Mr. Rockefeller. The end is not yet. The lorces which have produced this brutal per version of industry are more actively Dotential todav than in the past. The government must regulate, and regu late with an iron hand. In this and this alone can we make successful stand against the advent of Socialism The shipper and consumer are justly suspicious. They are shocked. They will know the reason why. They are sensitive, quick to feel and understand. and, unless we meet our responsibili ties, sure to strike. "They will have no more of this stand-patism and stagnation. To meet that temper of the people, which, once aroused, will sweep away majorities like the mists of morning, tho party must give to them here today, not only in its platform but in its candidate, guarantee ol relief, if we are to have the joy of another deliverance, o o o "A government founded on a theory of equality of opportunity cannot sur vive when social and economic oppor tunity have been extinguished, We have here a problem of industrial his tory whieh looks beyond the selfish purpose of the hour and sees with sure perspective and clear vision the rights of generations to coine and the luture destiny of our common country." TAFT AND SHERMAN. That is the Republican Pres idential Ticket. Funnv! But Few Ever heard of This Sherman Down This Way. The Name Don't Sit Well With tbe South. (Special to Ihe Argus.) THREE DEAD.

The next day he went to the nearest town and spent it with a merchant. Befoie the year was out he got the dollar back. Four times in six years the dollar came baek to him for pro duce, and three times he heard of it in the pockets of his neighbors. The last time he got it baek was four years ago. He sent it te a mail-order house. He has never seen that dollar since, and never will. 'That dollar bill will never pay any more school or road tax for him, will never build or brighten any of the homes of the community. He sent it entirely out of tbe realm of usefulness to himself and to hie neigh bors when he sent it to the mail-order house. The moral is plain. My Hair Ran Away Chicago, June 19. Following ad journment after the nomination of Taft on the first ballot for President last night Chairman Lodge oalled the convention to order at ten o'clock this morning and briefly told the delegates to make the balance of the business as short as possible, to forget unpleasantnesses, shake hands, and go home and work for the success of the ticket. An all night conference was held by the New York delegation in an effort to get together on a candidate from that fcitate for the second place on the ticket, and it is reported this morning to have l resulted in an agreement to present Mayor James S. Sherman, of Utica, for the place, particularly as it has been understood from the outset that the President wanted a strong New Yorker to carry the little end ol the Taft ticket; and in the event of New York's inability to get together on Cortelyou.whom Roosevelt unques tionably favored, the White House would be pretty well suited with Sher man lor Talt's running mate. Timothy C. Woodruff, ol New York, named James S. Sherman, of Utica, for Vice President, saying that New York can be carried by the republicans if a New Yerk mau gets on the ticket. New York has failed to get first place in Gov. Hughes, but tbe .Empire State will be found in the republican column if it can have second place on the ticket; otherwise New York stands a geod chance to band her 39 eleotaral votes te a democrat. Never but once when New York had a man en the national ticket has that State been lost te the republicans and that time New York was carried by a strong New York democrat. (Loud cheers from all eastern delegations. Uuuie Joe Cannon warmed the crowd to the highest pitch -of enthusiasm by saying that Sherman is as well quali fied as any man on earth to take the place of the Piesident if the President should be called away. The coliseum crowd went wild as Cannon concluded, .and it was plainly seen that the man for whom Woodruff and "Uncle Joe" had let out their lungs would be nominated, barring miracles. Senator Lodge took the floor and nominated Gov. Curtis Guild, of Mas sachusetts, Chas. E. Osborn, of Michi gan, seconded. Thomas N. McCarter, of New Jersey, named former Gov.' Franklin Murphy. Gov. Sheldon, of Nebraska, was also nominated. Somebody shouted the name ol vice president Fairbanks. Chairman Lodge called for the roll, and the result was Sl3 for Sherman, 77 for Murphy, 75 for Guild, 10 lor Shel don, one for Fairbanks. The Massachusetts delegation moved the nomination of Sherman be made unanimous and this was carried Senator Warner, of Missouri, was made chairman of the special commit tee to notify the vice presidential can didate as Mr. Lodge sails for Europe next week and cannot serve. The convention at eleven lorty-five adjourned sine die. No other days are like the days of June; They stand upon the summit ol the year, Filled up with sweet remembrance of the tune That wooed the fresh spring fields; they have a tear For violets dead they will engird full soon Tne sweet, full breasts or summer drawing near. Each matchless Morning marches from the East In tints inimitable and divine; Eaeh perfect Noon sustains the endless feast In which tbe wedded charms of life combine; Sweet Evening waits till golden Day, released, Shall lead her, blushing, dofcvn the world's decline. Robert Burns Wilson, in the Metro politan Magazine. MR. ED PORTER DEAD. Don't have a falling out with your hair. It might leave you ! Then what? That would mean thin, scraggly, uneven, rough hair.

PROHIBITEN DECLARED Governor Glenn Today Signed an Historic Proclama tion. The ''Unheard Melody" of the Spirit World Surely Made the "Welkin to Bins" With Hozannahs for the lid North State. (Special to The Argus.) Raleigh, June 19. This morning in the governor's office, without ceremo ny, in the presence of the Chairman of the State Prohibition Executive Com mittee and many other active prehi- bitionists, Governor Glenn plaee his signature on the proelamation that makes North Carolina a prohibition State. Months ago, in a public speech, Gov. Glenn declared that his highest am bition was to see North Carolina a pro hibition State during his term. Un der his leadership, his ambition has been gratified. By a majority of 44,196, tae people have decreed that on the first ot January North Carolina will close every saloon and every still and give a fair trial to prohibition. Present at this eeremony was oue K. S. Hershey, of Rochester, N. Y., who stated that ha wants Gov.

"Fer eight years," says Chief Statis tician Clark of the agricultural depart ment, "the ameriean farmer has en joyed unpreeedented prosperity, and now the ninth huge harvest is prac tically assured; never have there been nine sueh years, years of big yields and high priees." 'J?hee are the words, not ot a democratic stumper, but oi an officer of a federal department, and they explain the prosperity that pre ceded the panic Qf last Octeber, al though they do not explain away that particular event in the history ot the republican party. 1 The value ef the great crops ef the oeuntry in the last five years are thrs summed up. Total value 1907 $7,412,000,000 1906 - 9,755,000,000 1905 - 6,309,000,000 1904 - 6,159,000.600 1903 - 5,907,000,000 The value ef the growing crops is put at $8.000,000,000 eight billions of dollars. The mind oannot grasp so huge a suan, and yet the chances are that the crops new in the fields will be werth the immense aggregate named. Unless seme great weather changes occur soon this year will outdo even last year in farm products. In a country that pro duces marketable preduets at the rate ot 18,000,000,000 a year no long spell of depression can be maintained. The erops will beat, hard times dowu and out, and this is what will take plaee this fall unless all signs fail. Ambitions and Prospects of Men Strutting and Fretting Their Hour on the Stage. (Special to the Argus. Washington, D. C, June 18. On account of the recent floods in Montana the Democratic conventien in that State has been postponed to July 1, when it will assemble at Boze man to select the delegates to the Na tional convention at Denver. Secretary ol War Taft has accepted an invitation te attend tbe commence ment exercises at Yale University next week, which will be the thirtieth anniversary ol his graduation from that institution. The Secretary of State of Missouri has refused to file the names of candi dates for the People's party, and as a result that party probably will have no ticket in the Missouri State pri mary next August. Isaac T. Mann, a millionaire coal land owner and banker, whose home is at Bramwell, W. Va has issued an announcement that in 1911 he will op pose Senator Scott for the position of United States Senator from West Vir ginia. Governor Haskell has given his friends te understand that he will not oppose the re-election of Senator Gore, ot Oklahoma. The governor, it is said, entertains hopes ei a cabinet po sition in the event thatBryan is elected President. Eugene V. Debs, candidate of the Socialist party for President, frankly states that he does not expect to be elected, though he believes his party will poll an unusually large vote in November. He will open his cam paign in Chicago on September 1, and wind it up there also after a tour of the leading cities ot the country. He says the campaign plans of the Socialist party provide for 5,000 open-air speakers. Poi Rc-noiainated. (Special to the Argus.) Raleigh, June 18.

There Is more Catarrh in this section of the eeuntry than all other diseases put together, and mmtil the last few years was supposed to be in surable. For a great many years doctors pro ouiiced It a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Sei enc has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken Eternally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoon Fail.

FOUND CUT1CURA INDISPENSABLE For Her Children Little Girls Suf fered with Itching Eczema Which Simply Covered Back of Heads Baby Had a Tender Skin, Too. ALL PROMPTLY CURED BY "WONDERFUL OINTMENT" "Some years ago my three little girls had a very bad form of eczema. Itch ing eruptions formed on tha backs of their heads which were simply covered. Before I heard of Cuti cura, I used to try almost everything, but they failed. Then my mother recommended the Cuticura Remedies. I washed my children's heads with Oiti cura Soap and then applied the wonder ful ointment, Cuticura. I did this four or five times and I can say that they have been entirely cured. I have another baby who is so plump that the folds of skin on his neck were broken and even bled. I used Cuticura Soap and Cuti cura Ointment and the next morning the trouble had disappeared. I am using the Cuticura Remedies yet when ever any of my family have any sores. I can never recommend Cuticura suffi ciently ; it is indispensable in evfery home. I cannot find its equal. Mme.
