THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY'S
oreat 'opportunity.
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.

From the indications in print the

It is reasonably certain that none
of the scientist* of the California

as some are alleged to have done at
Berlin, unless, and such a thing has
happened, one of them may be put to

other far distant places, as from hun

Everywhere, the sporting pages

from being son of an itinerant preach

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

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.

The wife of a clergyman of a cer

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. ?
