The following extract from d speech delivered by Ex-Governor Folk, of Missouri, at the Jefferson day ban quet. in Indianapolis, contains more truth "ithan flexion: . ... "The Democratic party never had a greater opportunity for. service than now. This opportunity will be lost if the party merely occupies a posltlo'n of negation without an nouncing affirmative anil progressive principles. The present rising tide of Democracy is not for the Demo cratic party, no matter how con trolled. but in favor of real Demo cratic principles. To profit by it. the party mupt sincerely by platform and candidates declare for these prln "We are on the thresnold. of the greatest political awakening this na tion has ever kuown. Unless the spirit of civic righteousness and fair dealing now abroad in the land dies out, the next few years will be dis tinguished as the lime when the reign of privilege is brought to an end and the doctrine of equal rights fixed In national policies and in conscience of mankind. Things are not toferated now that not long ago were submit ted to in silence. Only a few years past It. was an open secret that many legislative halls were dens of thieves and the touch of the unclean dollar of privilege was over all. ThiB was an accepted condition, and no deter mined flght had been made against these evils. Dishonesty in public life was either unnoticed or regarded with despair. Now, bribery investi gations have sent forth their mes sage, the revelations of crookedness have been seen and heard, and In numerable grand Juries have held up graft and fraud to the public view. "The awakened conscience of the people has been exposing these abus es one by one and has now com menced to (jssail the foundation of graft. whlch\ is privilege. Without privilege, graljj would not exist. "The Democratic party should fight privilege in every form ? the privilege of lawlessness and the privilege giv en by law. There la law enough now to surpass all of the great trusts, fhough of course, ?hey can be made better. We do not need new laws so much, however, as we need the sin cere enforcement of the laws we have. Instead of suppressing the great trusts the efTort of the present national administration will probably result in legalizing them through fed eral incorporation -that will prevent the States interfering with their op erations. When It Is remembered that the moat effective work against criminal wealth has been done by the States during the past few years, "it easy to understand why predatory wealth asks lor national Incorpora tion* ? T toe principal privilege given by law is the privilege of protection whereby all the people are taxed for thq benefit of a few. a tariff other than for revenue is prohibited by the I moral law, the law of conscience a | tariff for revenue on.ly Is one thine and a tariff for protection. is quite j \ another. "That the Democraic frvty battle, not for reduction, but for the aboli tion of protection merely for the sake of protection. I^et the party stand unequivocally against privilege, and f for equal opportunity. "Let it stand for reform and free dom. freedom of the press, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, free dom from graft, corruption and priv ilege." 1 1 KjlAMKLEStt TREATMENT OF TEACH PUS. To the preacher and the teacher North Carolina owes first thanks for the excellence <f>f educational achieve ment,. strength of religious training knd of purity of our Ideals and Ideas/ Outranking in Importance all other agencies connected -with the advance of Christian civilization, the teittor and the preacher have played a pi<w eer role, and how well, they have ac complished their arduous work A , told by a glance at the multldinoua well filled churches and schooM&ouses which dot the 'Bute today. When the crash of warfare had de manded the last sbeckel fend during the poverty-cursed era of reconstrue Uob when there were no fnSds for thel r work. Through long jwn of scantily rewarded labor; facing n?r rowness and prejudice duo \ to gen eral ignorance, they fought heroic ally with the rising generation. en deavoring to tot their f*et staunchly upon the highway of morality and intelligence. Time was. whoa la point of edaeatlon North Carolina tailed the ltat of State*. with the hare exception of New Mexico. It was with shame that we saw oar State referred to as being the most generally ignorant of the entire fed eration of States. That day has past. Today North Carolina la lead ing the States in educational achieve ment. Last year a new school house wss built for each day in the year. The masses are appreciating the value ? yes, even the neoesslty, of ed ucational training. Business no longer desires unlntellgent employ ment. To cope with opponents In the professions and trades today It Is necessary for one to have a certain degree of educational training. If | the chasm has been crossed; if the dark msntel of Illiteracy haw been lifted, and if we live In the clear light of a progressive age we have two classes above all others to thank ? our preachers and teachers. It was the rural preacher who taught the youth the Importance of the educa tion of the mind, as he taught him the value of Christianity. It was the rural and the town teacher who struggled with the rising generation, and who Inculcated those ideas which have borne the fruit of progress. And these two classes labored faith fully on the barest pittance of a sal ary. The day of poverty has passed. Our own State today smiles In the lap of plenty. Ramshackle business methods are antedated. Hundreds of manufactories of all classes speak of the dawn of a new era. i .lust now there is a* movement on foot to reward the rural preacher. The salary he is paid today Is about the same offered him twenty years ago. and yet there has been an In crease of from 50 to 100 per cent In cost of living. A similar movement should be started in the interest of our public school teachers. Unfortunately in years past they have been pai^ In high sounding eulogy. Inspired ora tors have portrayed their splendid work of moulding youthful character, but in the course of star-searching rhapsodies it has never occurred that perhaps "the hand that rules the. Bchoolfroom" and which "rules the world" is. after all, human, requiring food and clothes. JKFFK1KS VS. JOHNSON. From the indications in print the cause of Jeffries ' versus Johnson, which is appointed to be "tried out" at Emeryville. California, on the 4th of July, bps aroused a greater pop ular Interest than was manifested even in the address by Colonel Roose velt at Berlin. It is reasonably certain that none of the scientist* of the California meeting will sleep upon this occasion, as some are alleged to have done at Berlin, unless, and such a thing has happened, one of them may be put to sleep by another member of the as sembled company. His Excellency. Governor Gillette, has been quoted as saying at New York that nothing can be done to "prevent Mr. Jeffries and Mr. John son from settling the affair between I T^at utterance It seems may put at i themselves" on Independence Day. rest the fear of any that the author that excursionists in large numbers Itles might prevent the boxing match. Meanwhile, the arrangements for a "quiet Fourth" in many another rll? forward. It Is averred -in print quarter of the world are going mer from Japan. England. Honolulu and other far distant places, as from hun dreds of others in the United Stales and Canada, are preparing to make the pilgrimage to tb? shrine at Em eryville. Everywhere, the sporting pages boll with excitement over the ap proaching international event, which Is expected'to net the great men who have arisen, the one from being a roustabout of Galveston, the other from being son of an itinerant preach er. to their dizzy height In the sci entific world, somewhere like one mil lion of dollars. Never before was Independence Day so celebrated by the black and white^cymphony exhibit at the Cali fornia villuge. the name of Which Is destined to go down to the very bot tom of posterity. The fame of the climate and the natural scenery of California has gone around the world, but that of the artificial scenery at Emeryville will overtake and pass it.

There will necessarily, how ever, be many who cannot see the original, the ampltheater only being able to house some 30,000 persons. Many who have to work, at least oc casionally, will be compelled to stay at home and miss the show, and among these are many women. Thus far, the papers say. It is not known that' any of the fair sex win be pres ent.

All the school children, at tending the queen, marched from the, school building to the throne. The queen wss then crowned while the children threw flowers at her feet.. She then descended from' the throne and with the lsrger girls engaged in a May pole dance. After this, dinner was served. A abort while after din ner .two other dances were given, which were immediately followed by a game of )>aseball between the Pan tego and Pungo teams. In this game much enhuslasm and "rooting" was evident. The game was prolonged until 5:30, the result being in favor of Pungo. On Saturday evening Mr. gave a North Pole entertainmed the High School building. One-'fu of the proceeds was given to| school.

The wife of a clergyman of a cer tain suburban parish was mending clothes the other day when a visitor was announced. The hostess went on with her sewing, for the caller was a well known parishioner. After awhile the visitor glanced toward the sewing table and exclaimed: "Why there are some buttons ex-! actly like my husband had on his last winter suit. They are an odd kind of -button* too. When did .you get them?" The clergyman's wife smiled rogu ishly. "In the collection basket," she answered quietly. "I found a good many of the same kind. I am paving them up for possible use/' I The caller changed the subject as hastily as she could and somehow or other she did not stay very long. ? Boston Traveler. RIVER R6AI> STATION NEWS.
