Yellow jicket came so near being overcome by the. cAieeuingiy not weather durinri the was rst two weeks of July that he R. DON LAWS, The Man Who Cut The Yellow Jacket and Made It Fit, hardly able to grind any copy :for this issue. According to. Mr. Bryan, a man's services in this world may be worth $500,000,000. The services of Mr. Bryan in failing three times to be elected President, have been worth more than that to this country. Hundreds of Democrats would be found affiliating in the Republican party to-day if it were not that they are ashamed to do so from the meas ley mean things they have said about the G. (X P.. .. ;. One of the best signs of the times e 1 that we are entering a new and glo rious era is the fact that Democrats have gone to riding in automobiles and voting for Protection Tariffs. Verily, the world do move. It's making the Democratic news papers over the: country sweat like blue blazes in their efforts to try to i prove that the Democratic congress- men who voted with the Republicans on the tariff are not Republicans. Read our ad about "Hot Stuph" in this issue. And order a copy for i your own use. It will afford you more past time and instruction than any book of recent years. It's a go-get-'er, and every readef of The Yel low Jacket should own a copy. Since North Carolina went Prohi bition they have thrown upon the market a produce called "Monkey Beer" and it is said that the stuff will make a Prohibition Democrat act like a monkey by. taking a couple of drinks. "Hot Stuph" stirs 'em as nothing else can do. The medicine is hot and it hits thespot. And they all want .to see what it Bays. We caught a wild and wooly Democrat the other day sitting away off to himself reading the book and cussing. : Dr. Elliott has been having some thing to. say about a five-foot book shelf and hrs named the works to fill it and he never signally failed to include Hot Stuph, the Bible or ; Shakespeare, showing how little he , knows about current literature. Automobiles are getting so thick in tnis part of the country that you ' can hardly walk the road in safety. The old Democratic idea of riding in an ox cart is rapidly passing away with 16 . to 1, anti-imperialism and otner deiusions of the past century. A North Carolina Democratic farm- er has a hen that has laid an egg with the figure six plainly outlined in "water colors" in the shell. We'll , Det by juckg) that the Democrats will ' tailQ thi3 cs an omen that Bryan wiU win the sixth time. With cotton selling at 13 cents, corn at $1.25 and wheat at $1.50 un der these Republican times, the old days of Democratic smash and ruin with sixty cent wheat,' fourteen cent corn and four cent cotton are-brought sharply into contrast. Our. quotation from the Jefferson Bible in last issue of : The Yellow Jacket seems to have aroused some, of the Democrats and they- are now writing us where the book can be had. We will supply any one desir ing the book at one dollar per copy. Some of the North Carolina wine producers are adveYtifdng ; for ten thousand bushels of blackberries this year. . You see it is going to take worlds of blackberry wine to supply those thirsty prohibitionists the com ing season. '.' V -; ' ' We are still waiting to hear some Democrat' returning thanks - to the Republican party for busting 'tHe tur pentine trusts It loots ; to tis like cheaper turpentine ought to - appeal to a Democrat, especially one 1 who has the billy-ca-flip so much. The issue of The, Yellow Jacket for July 8th seems to have been a well- read paper from the letters we are receiving from our friends who are expressing their appreciation of the number. - If any of our subscribers are pub lishing a paper carrying the name of "Breeze" we would thank them to favor us . with an occasional copy along these days. ' It's so "ontoler able" hot in our sanctum this July weather that it is impossible to write stuph for' The Yellow Jacket. It. is stated that investigators in St. Louis contend that nine-tenths of the criminals in that city are victims of the opium habit. How does this con tention make room for the assertion of those who contend that nine-tenths of the criminals are the victims of king alcohol? A Democratic exchange is exulting over the apparent row in the Repub lican party over the tariff question. But never mind, Buddy. The Repub licans may be having their disagree ments on tariff rates, but that don't dispel the fact that the Democrats are split worse than ever, and Wil liam Jawbone among them is no longer even a false prophet. Now that Congress has raised the duty fifty per cent higher on dia monds where is that Democrat who used to be standing round with his face twisted all out of skew mouthing about the Republicans putting high tariff on things the poor need and letting in free the things used by the rich? We want to see what that fellow looks like. South Carolina, it is said, will in stitute a state-wide campaign for education during August, in which mass-meetings will be held in every county. It certainly needs it and we hope the Easley Progress will take full advantage of the opportunity. It is a long lane that has no turning and the Democrats have misruled poor old South Carolina about long enough. Welcome Education. It is asserted that the Standard Oil Company contemplates making a food product put. of petroleum and calling it butter. Lord save us. If the stuff gives no better satisfaction as butter than the gasoline we are using to run our linotype metal pot does for heating purposes, then we will guar antee that the very devil couldn't eat it. - . According to the Montgomery Jour nal people in the Sand Mountain re gions of Alabama are netting $50 an acre this year on Irish potatoes. That's going some, especially under this Republican administration that the Democrats last year said was going to bring on such hard times that the farmers couldn't make a liv ing at all. A Democratic Daily of Raleigh, N. C, boasts of the fact that it is the only paper in the United States that has more subscribers than there are men, women and children in the town in which it is published. Thundera tion. The Yellow Jacket has this Democratic sheet skinned a thousand miles. We have more subscribers a hundred thousand times over than there are men, women and children in Moravian Falls, N. C. You will have to come again, some more. The records of the city of Atlanta have been published and they show that the arrests for drunkenness for the year that prohibition went into effect were 1,123 and the arrests for the year just closed are 1,875. We ask some one who is capable of doing so to explain the meaning of this business. If prohibition don't lessen drunkenness what is it "good for any how? An Alabama Democratic exchange comes out terribly, strong against compulsory education. But there is nothing strange about that. It knows perhaps that Education means tho downfall of Democracy in Alabama, and lt prefers Democratic ignorance to Republicanism and Education. That's natural with Ihoso feller. On with" the dance. ' In the. month of June 384 deaths occurred in the State of Indiana from tuberculosis causing two hundred children to be left orphans. Yet wo have, the astounding spectacle of many people scoffing at the efforts of the Tuberculosis Congress in urg ing all possible means to ; bemused 1 the suppression loV extermination of this terrible "plague. r" If you hear a peculiar -noise coming up from the central, portion of North Carolina don't be alarmed. Perad venture it is nothing more than the horses down that way laughing at the idea of the - Democrats talking of starting a newspaper at ". Raleigh founded upon the doctrine of local self government. The spectacle of a Democrat preaching local self govern ment , is enough to make' a mule's daddy laugh. . - It has been reported that the fel low who had invented, the germ weaner an account of which we gave in these columns a: few weeks ago has sold his device to a doctor who will have the device destroyed in the interest of medical science. The doctors claim if the germs were all muzzled that ' medical science would starve to death. Poor old medical science. ' The theory of the New York Sun that the only way to get economy or the show of it,. for a season, "is to out with the ins and in with the outs," may be blundering towards the truth, but the trouble of "accomplishing this change is getting OUT of the minds of the people the sad recollection of what the OUTS did when they were IN a few years ago. In another column of The Yellow Jacket we present an editorial from the New" York World under the head "Betrayed." It gives our readers a fair insight into the workings of the Democratic party on tariff matters. And if any of our readers had been led to believe the Democratic party honest they might as well dismiss-the belief and leave the old wreck to its certain fate of disgrace and repudia tion. Turn and read the article and then read it again, and then compare the statement with what The Yellow Jacket has been saying all the time about the Democratic party. Ohio has produced many financiers, but none "equal to the minister-financier of Cleveland, the Rev. Caspar Streich, of the United Brethren Church who recently celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of his wedding. He and his wife, on an income, that never exceeded $700 a year; and was for most of their married life only between $500 and $600, have brought up and educated a family of ten chil dren. One- of the six sons went through college, three were gradua ted from a school of pharmacy and two from a business college, while the four daughters were trained in crafts that will enable them to gain their own livelihood. . Secretary Wilson of the Depart ment of Agriculture and recently re turned to Washington from the West, made the statement that throughout the West the farmers are seeking in vain for laborers to cultivate their farms, and that there was not one of the great agricultural states but could furnish employment to thou sands of laborers on the farms. If labor leaders seeking work for the 2,000,000 unemployed members of their organizations could induce an exodus from the cities, they could not only, supply the demand in the agricultural ; sections, but would ac complish an incalculable good by-re-lievihg the congestion in the cities, but they'd rather stay in the cities and have" something to howl about. When my eyes shall be turned . to behold for the last time 'the sun in heaven, may I not see him shining on the broken and dishonored fragments of a once glorious Union; on States dissevered, discordant, belligerent; on a land rent with civil fueds, or drenched, it may be, in fraternal blood! Let their last feeble and lin gering glance rather behold the glo rious ensign of the Republic, now known and honored throughout the earth, still full high advanced, its arms and trophies streaming their original lustre, not a stripe erased or polluted nor a single star obscured, bearing for its motto, no such miser able interrogatory as "what is all this worth?" nor those other words of delusion and fully "Liberty first aud union afterward;" but every where spread all over in characters of living light, blazing on all its ample folds, as they float over the sea and over the land, and in every wind under , the whole heavens, that other sentiment, dear to every true Ameri can hear t-'Liberty and, union now and forever, one and "inseparable." KANSAS FELLEE. In- another; column -wriii v, , . , .. r . luuua an article from B. P. Morland, of Kan sas, iri which he asks us to explain where we stand . on the "tearofr question, as he terms it. We wish to be frank with all our readers and an swer their questions directly, but be fore proceeding in this case we must know something , about what party our 'correspondent is "ganging" with. It is a well known fact to Neurolo gists and Hypnotists that a person can so completely concentrate his thoughts upon his liability to sick ness .that the least suggestion win produce in him all the discomforts of actual disease and not unfrequent ly the disease itself, and this same condition has in some degree mani fested, itself in people adhering totfhe dogmas of certain creeds or partes. We desire to know that Mr. Mori una is in a receptive mood before Jbn suming any of our valuable time ex planing to him a question which meet of our readers have seen us expjahi heretofore. There exists in nature two distinct laws--one the law of constructive ness the other that of disintergres sion or obstruction. Alligned with these elements of nature are found all the political parties. On the sida of obstruction" are found nearly all the Democrats, all the fanatics, a few Republicans and all the Socialists. On the side of construction are found a few Democrats, nearly all the Re publicans, but not a single Socialist. First, we desire to get you located and we trust you will not object to the following interrogatives : Are you a subscriber to Jackass Way- land's Appeal to" Treason or Dick Maple's Ripped Sock? Do you wear a celluloid collar and harrangue the discontented from a goods box on the street corner? Are you related by blood or marriage to Fred Warren, Adam God or Carrie Nation? In short, do you make a habit of rid ing. -the Socialistic flying jenny? Should your answer to any two cf the above questions be in the affirma tive then any attempt on our part to explain to you how we stand on any subject-would be as sweet perfume wasted on the desert air. In such an event it would require the use of a horse trough . and a good supply of carbolic soap to sufficiently disinfect you of the Socialistic microbes as to render you susceptible of receiving a lucid explanation. You may consider these questions we have handed you a little personal, but we must have an answer to some of them before "proceeding, for we have an invariable rule to let every hot air artist poi off thru his respective party organ. If you are a Republican in good stand ing we will allow you to criticise the Republican party till the cows come home if you feel like it. We are not so hide-bound and blind as to believe that that party is perfect. We re serve the right to say what we blame please about our own party if we think it deserves rebuke as a party. : But these darned fool Socialists. Why, they remind us of the fellow whose" hogs got in his corn and were ruining it and instead of chasing them out, went -searching round over the country for a kind of corn that grew so high that hogs couldn't tear it down and that man finally died in the poor house. The Socialists spend all their time talking about a kind of government that wouldn't let any hogs exist at all and in the mean time neglect all the good that our present system of government offers them. We hope to .hear from you soon. President Taft's expressed wish for economy in the administration of the government is being carried out in the most practical manner by his Secretary of the Treasury. Mr. Mac Veagh has just announced that there will be no increase of salaries in the customs service until Xhe deficit in the federal-revenues is made up. As the , last Congress added considerably to the appropriation for the customs services and authorized increases in the salaries of a number of inspect ors in the Customs. House at New York,' it was thought that a number of salaries would be raised on July 1st, the beginning of the fiscal year, but Mr. MacVeagh decided that these increases will not be made un til . the Treasury7 Department is able to make a better financial showing. He has announced his intention, how ever, to reward efficient employes in the customs service as soon as the Treasury receipts warrant it. THAT k 1 , 4
