important Question. c .j
' 1 ' . . ? ?
At the recent session of our "Bute
Legislature an act ' was pa uM 'au
thorizing the establishment of a
school for the feeble minded chil
dren of the state. An issue of bonds
to the amount of $50,900 was au
thorised for buildings. The act pro
rides that the school shall be locat
ed in that county of the state which
I makes what the board off trustees
consider as the best all round offer
for it. -
What will this school mean to the
count* In which It Is located?
1 In the first place it will mean the
spending of 9f 0,000 ? for buildings J
alone aflhe start Meet of this qton
|ay will be spent In the cotfnty for
building materials, and - tot _ labor
! Qui merchants, lumber dealers. man
ufscturers and farmsrs wfn share to
some extent In furnishing the neces
sary material. i
Second. ft w!l mean the spend
ing of- several thousand dollars a<
year, some estimate 150,000 to aj
9100,000 in purchasing supplies and
paying, the necessary running ex
penses' This amount of money
brought into our county and spent
in this way will greatly benefit all
classes of our people.
Third. It will mean an Increase
in the value of the farming lands in
the locality where the school is lo
Fonrth. In time It is most likely
that a thriving town or^ village will
grow up near the school, and va
rious kinds of manufacturing Indus
tries may develop In which some of
the " Inmates of the institution msy
be able to work. .
Fifth. .The school will bring to
Beaufort county a number of train
ed Instructors and supervisors for
the Inmates. These will be a most
desirable addition to our population.
Sixth. It wilt mean considerable
prominence and prestige to Beau
fort or a?y other county that sectid
ee this great state Institution; for It
minded humanity, and great in the
"Wid wnir K wtll apand 1.
the count/ where it ^located.
This state school for feeble mind
ed will mean all that has been indi
cated above and more the good It
wUi; do. *ud the value It will be to
oar community, as welt ae the great
service It wil render ou rgood state
cannot be computed In dollars and
So much tor the school, what It
la. and what It will do. Now the
question |s: If Beaufort County
wants this school what must be dons
,to secure It?
In the first place something must
be done at once, as ths Board of
Trustees of the school for Feeble
mode*, will meet In Raleigh June8,
to deeide upon its looetion, Just
about two weeks from this date. May
24th.
Second. It is necessary that 500
aeree of land be donated for the lo
Quarter five.

in fanning seven of the 8wnn Quar

Speech at The Teachers' Training
School at GroeaTilie, TinertSj
May 3?rd. ? T|m* Address Follows.
Th. clo^m curclm ol the EM
Carolina Training School at Orean
m. H&. began tut Monday awl
was witnessed by a large crowd from
sections all ore r North Csrollna.
Th0 exercises were held in the ad
ministration building. The addreaa
of welcome waa by Miss Llllie Tuck
err Miss Vada Highsmlth read the
class history; Miss Margarter Blow,
the last "Will and testament and the
claas prophecy by Miss Nellie Pen
der.
On Monday* evening the annual
concert occurred thla being under
the direction of Misses Bishop and
Muffy. The entire program waa ren
dered with much psrfoctnoss as to
show t^e thorough tratetng the ?
plis had received.
Mr. Daniels Spoke in the "Rule of
the People" and pointed out the ob
stacles thrown in the way of popu
lar-government from the time that
electoral pollege was devised to give
thfe selection of President to a small
claas rather than to, the popular vote
down to this time when the Will of
the people Is thwarted by the alli
ance between the boss in pollctls and
the captain of industry who is ready
to PM fpr special privilege and im
munity from punishment for the vio
lation of the lay. He traced the ?low
process by which the people wrested
the selection of a president from elec
tors chosen by Legislatures, thereby
overturning this piece of constitu
tion finesse Invented to prevent the
election of the Chief Executive by
the popular vote. It was only by
the invention of the National Con
vention that electors were made
mere messelngera to carry out the
decree of the people instead of the
real rulers. In like manner he point
ed out the steps taken to try to
make our senate a virtual house of
lords and how the agitation for di
rect election haa resulted In prima
ries in many states and the Oregon
plan In others which have practical
ly taken out of the hands of Legls
latora thf selection of the senators
a^g committed It to the people.
These two methods of Indirection,
invented by those who denied the
right of the people to govern them
aelve*. were declared to be only the
tw0 most glaring of several measur
ed and methods devised by the school
of Hamilton to make popular gov
ernment almost Impossible In the
now republic, but before laavlng the
advocacy of electing senators by peo
ple. Mr. Danlela touched upon the
scandal of the election of Lorlmer
and other like legislative crimes and
the dlagrace which the senate has
brought upon Itself by voting to keep
a man in his seat when bribery was
notorloua In the body that gave Lor
lmer the certificate of election.
, In ahowiag the mtatake of the
rift* tenure of judges and their claim
ing the right annul legislative acts
the speaker touched upon the Su
preme Court declsloas In the Stand
ard Oil caae and approved the decla
ration of uatlce Harlan that aneh an
interpretation of the law was "dan
geroua." \
Mr. Daniels thonght that not since
the time the Federal Constitution
waa fn the making M the Ameri
can People been so keenly alive to
questions that looked to /entering
representatives government and giv
ing affect to the will of the people
at now. Ha ahowed how alllancea
between political boeaea and trn^t
dlo.wd c'r "Ik- Interest* " In the
br'->w p*opl? i that U?jr
could not male* their wlthM felt *nd
Id toe reaolve to end eomtmlllon
lias coma, about Seren measurer took
log to tottering conditions 10 as to
restore popular government. Thej
were enumerated as follows: 1. Tbe
Australian Ballot; 2, Legalised Pri
mary; S. Corrupt Practice Acta; 4*
Publicity of campaign contributions;
5. Referendum .and Initiative;^. The
Recall; 7. The Commission form o f
Municipal Government. He pointed
out that air these measures had been
born out of a eslre to restore the
right of tbe people to rule snd to
find agencies by which thely will
should be ascertained and made ef
fective. There Is no popular gov
ernment In the. real eenea unless the
people rule. *Tftey have not ruled In
many states snd In the senate tbelf
will has been flouted and scorned.
As to those several measures of re
form devised to end the evils In par
ty government and In legislation. Mr
Daniels said they should be careful
ly studied add applied only when
people were sufficiently Informed and
alive to mske them valued agenctles
of reform. He believed there had
been lee agitation In North Carolina
for these agencies than elsewhere
because the evils of government were
less here and because so many peo
ple had not studied their operation,
and debated the measures that have
found so much favor elsewhere. He
gave the story of Oregon's forwsrd
step and told how these new meas
ures had worked In that state. He
believed that most of them should
be put into operation in North Car
olina as a preventive o?. mad .condi
tions on the theory that an ounce of

beyond suceessfni contradiction 1
a strong speech delivered on th
floor of the house. Mr. Moss cinch'
his point by representing the actu
resolutions In which the great orr
anlzations oif farmers pledged then
selves to wort for reciprocity.
"The great national tnovemen'
among the farmers of the Unite'
States to advance reciprocal legists
tlon began." said Mr. Moss, "wit1
a meeting held In the Grand Padf
hotel in Chicago in 1905. Ther
were present at the meeting delega'
es representing the National Llv
Stock Association, American Short
Horn Association. National Llv
Stock Exchange. Millers" Nations*
Federation, and other great produc
lng and exporting Interests,
"It was decided to hold a nations:

was chosen aa a leader of the more

Is a member of the tariff board ap
pointed ? by President Taft. Mr
Saunders waa at that time the edl
tor of the Breeders' Oagette. th*
most influential and widely rea<*
farm journal In the United State*
Mr. Saunders Issued a signed state
ment as to the purposes of the con
ference. He declared his willing
ness to co-operate 'with the specific
understandlg that the interests Of
the farmers and stock grower*
should be paramount.
"It Is time," declared Mr Saun
ders In hta signed statement, "that
somebody should take up the cud
gels agalnat those who for selfish
purposes deetrowed Blalns reciproc
ity conventions, and are still barr
ing the American stockmen an<*
grain growers from a large and lu
crative outlet for their goods. The
fight for better markets, worth un
known millloiis per yesr to the farm
ing communities, will not be won lr
a week or a month. It means a bat
tle royal against intrenched power
but it will be won because it lr
right."
Mr. Moss went on to show that
the conference was attended h-v
