Reforms for the peopla must

it has ever been : in the history of
the hu man race. "History .re
peats itself" because humau na
ture repeatsitself .Every' stu
dent of history knows: that the
English government todfey . rests.
on the shoulders of the people be
cause they made onslaught attar
onslaught until the dominant for
ces the established order ofjthings
gave way. It was only near the
close, of Gladstone's, long life that
suffrage' was universal in England.
And when we say "universal" it
is not in its broadest application
as in this country. '
, The free ballot that has come to
us is a priceless heritage. But this
ballot while free, should be an in
telligent one. Every voter has it
in his power to make it so, for
with the free ballot we have free
speech, free press, . and free
schools. Lt us know wherefore
we vote. Let - us appreciate - this
great privilege of the free ballot
more and more. .No man is freer
than when he can step to the polls
and cast his ballot. It has been
the struggle of centuries univer
Bil suffrage. Let us love it and
cherish it. And the people are
asserting their rights now as never
before. .
The investigations of insurance,
food- products, trusts, and rail
roads have been brought about
through the people and until the
people take a hand things always
go from bad to worse. The
searching and finding of John D,
Rockefeller in his hiding place
and serving subpoena on him
simply means a direct blow at
i trusts and may mean, throughjthe
power of"pablic opinion expretsed
in the free ballot, eventually, the
death of trusts, or at least trusts
as they are now managed. Along
with pure food let us demand
pure politics. Stanly Enterprise.

"Preserve your good timber.
Cut down your trees that show
signs of decay ; but be careful not
to let them fall on the young
trees." Such was the- advice given
by a well known local lumberman.
The old tree can be sawed up and
marketed, and the youug will ma
ture in due time when the timber
becomes more valuable. The a -tention
given the shrubs and
young trees now will determine
the supply of the future. Some
farmers who are cutting down oe-
dar trees and building ordinary
fences therefrom will find a few
years hence that the cedar trees
thus destroyed would have become
more valuable than the land it
self. Choice timber is growing
scarce, and walnut, oak, cedar
and other timbers used for veneer
ing are made to bring from $20 to
$50 per thousand feet. Let us
