The Randolph Bulletin. PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY. PRICE ONE DOLLAR A YEAR U. S. HAYES, - Editor E. A. WOODDELL, Publisher Entered as second-class matter June 2nd, 1905, at the post office at Ashe boro, N. C, under the act of Congress of March 3rd 1879. Advertising rates on application. Great as are the changes which have been going on in the last century, there is nothing more noticeable than the change of sentiment of the different church organizations towards each other. Entire separation and isolation used to be the rule. The Puritans and other sects came to America to escape persecution and they in turn became the most violent persecutors. Now we see the different de nominations holding union meet ings and helping each other in a common cause. Ministers fre quently fill the pulpits of their brother ministers of differ ent denominations. The Sunday schools of all Protestant denom inations study the same scripture lessons, prepared by representa tives from all these denomina tions. Ministers used to do all in their power to tear each other down, and were never better pleased than when engaged in public argument over nonessential dogmas of creed or doctrine. All these customs have changed and given place to brotherly love which is to the advantage of the progress of Christianity and more in accordance with the doctrine and example of the great Teacher. Elihu Root has been chosen Secretary of State by President Roosevelt to succeed the late John Hay. In making the selection the President has again shown his ability to select the ablest man in the country to fill this high and important position. In ac cepting the cabinet portfolio Mr. Root makes a great personal sa crifice, as his large law practice brings him an income, perhaps, greater than that of the presi dent. But his friendship for Mr. Roosevelt and his great love for his country has induced him to put away personal preferment and answer his country's call. His acceptance of the office is gratifying to the American peo ple, without regard to political affiliations and that he will meas ure up to the standard of his great predecessor is the hope and belief of all. FALLACY OF THE "YELLOW PERIL" A Vital Difference A State or city which has a majority so large and certain as to make the nomination of can didates equivalent to an election, is in danger of corrupt govern ment. Philadelphia stands as an PYamnlp nf larre maiorities. It is the worst ring-ridden and cor rupt city in the United States The majority of the ruling party is so large that any one who can secure a nomination, no matter how corrupt he is, is sure of oWHnn Hence those who are ambitious buy their nomination and steal from the city during their entire term of office. The majority in North Carolina is too large for safety. We would have a better State government if the State officials felt any fears that they would be followed by a set of officers differing from them politically. It is to be hoped that some day the people of the North State will thi-ow prejudice to the wind and will vote for the man or men whom they think will serve the county and State best wheth er Ethey are the candidates of a political ring or not. Political rings are a menace to the people whether they exist in a city, state or county. These are troublesome times for the crowned heads of Europe. The Czar's armies have been beaten in the Far East and his fleets are at the bottom of the sea. Anarchy, civil war, and rebellion stalk about over his whole dominions at home and he is practically a prisoner in his own palace. With rebellion and mutiny still spreading he is about to enter into negotiations for peace which must humiliate the Russian government and be to the disadvantage ot the em pire. King Oscar is having troubles of his own because Norway has broken the compact which she was compelled to make with Sweden in 1814 and has now gone into business on her own account. Francis Joseph, of Austria, is having trouble with his Hun garian subjects. Several other kings and po tentates are having troubles which they would gladly ex change for peace and prosperity. The tendency of the common people of Europe is towards more liberal forms of government. The seed sown July 4, 1776, will bring fruit of independence to the generations yet unborn. Not many years hence the kings and emperors of Europe will have no crowns to put on their heads or will have no heads to put in their crowns. The recent Japanese loan which was allotted equally to England and the United States was many times oversubscribed in both countries, showing the large amount of surplus and available funds which cap italists have ready to invest in good securites. The subscrip tions would seem to indicate that there is as much surplus wealth in London and England as in New York and the United States, but an examination of the true condition of the two coun tries shows this difference. Undoubtedly there is large wealth among a few in Great Britain, while at the same time about one-half her population are more or less dependent upon the other half. On the other hand, in the United States, while there is great wealth, it is far more evenly distributed, and there is not one pauper to a thou sand of pupulation. Here work ing classes have over three bil lion of dollars in savings banks, and almost as much more in building and loan associations, insurance companies and small investments. Thousands and thousands of shares of the United States Steel Corporation, for instance, are owned by the employees of that company and the artisans and workmen of a country were never so well em ployed at so high wages, as is the case to-day in the United &taxe&. ienrfc5--Ittljr t.His true to-day in the building- trades. Construction plans for 1905, it is estimated, will approximate a full one billion of dollars, while it is apparently at a stanstill in England. This is the difference between the result of half a century of Free-Trade and of Protection. Under Free-Trade there are great trusts and monopolies which give the wealth of a coun try into the hands of a few, while under Protection, which insures competition in almost every line of industry, the re- waras 01 capital ana laoor are distributed among the toilers, who get in return for their labor twice and three times as much as they do in Free-Trade Eng land. The laboring people of the United States are to-day able and ready to take up a first-class loan of a thousand million dol lars, if offered at a price that would net them 4 per cent, upon their money. It is doubtful if the laboring people of all Europe could attempt such an undertak ing. Economist. Mr. Editor: No doubt you have noticed several editorials as well as communications on the subject of "The Yellow Peril." Suggestions about the invasions of Japan on the American pos sessions, and perhaps on other nations, after her war with Rus sia, if she be victorious in the end. Visions of being Togoed and bottled up, and other dread ful calamities float before one's eyes, after reading such matter. Yet I see no cause to be alarmed along the channel of their reason ing. The invasion to be dreaded by the nations will be that of man ufactured products at reduced prices made by the yellow race. The modern nation that fights well also has the capacity to make things. Shrewd capitalists will, no douot, strike out ior onma, Japan and Russia, with their millions of population schooled in the problem of cheap living, and, under favorable terms with the rulers, establish great industries. These industries will be managed by some of the Japanese work ing men whose skill will be equal to their fighting ability; then will come the "yellow peril." This will take the shape of Jap n - 1 . anese manuiacturea products going into the world's markets in competition with American and European goods. With no world markets, cap tialists will feel like Stossel at Port Arthur. But the nation with the cheapest labor will cap ture the world's markets. With billions of dollars worth of products on our hands and a decreasing market, the problem will become something like the j "yellow peril." Respectfully, i J. F. Hamilton WISE OR OTHERWISE. Most people are sorry only after it is too late. He who hopes for the best sel dom expects it. Only fools think that they can't make mistakes. A silk hat doesn't go well with an unbarbered face. It's easier not to want things than it is to get them. It's easier to criticise people than it is to appreciate them. A storm of indigdation often ends with a reign of terror. When some men go to the dogs it's pretty tough on the clogs. For every mean man who dies at least two more are born. The more a man blows the less wind he has to use in making good. Every time o man makes love to his wife he makes a profitable investment. The man who tries to kill two birds with one stone is lucky if he doesn't lose the stone. There would be fewer divorces in this vale of tears if there were more good cooks. The young man who gets a good start in life doesn't always make a satisfactory finish. j A marriedswTian always has a ! hard luck story on tap when his wife asks him for money. Many a man who never beat a street ear company out of a nickle wouldn't hesitate to rob a bank. A strenuous young man who declares his willingness to shed his last drop of blood for a girl is never in a hurry to shed the first drop. MEASURING THE INFINITE. Of all the sciences astronomy probably, is the most impressive and awe-inspiring. The space within the confines of the solar system of which the earth is part, and the outermost known member of which is nearly three thousand millions of miles from the center is but a drop in the ocean of space. We think of and measure dis tances on earth in terms of an inch or a yard or a mile. The smallest yardstick, so to speak, with which the astronomer meas ures distance in the universe is the semi-dimeter of the earth's orbit, roughly speaking, ninety three millions of miles. Such figures are of very little use to the ordinaiy person, but they may serve to give some notion of the grandeur of that human in tellect which can unravel and systematize the mysteries of the stars. .

The Press Association in ses sion last week at Asheville elect ed the following officers for the ensuing year: President, R. M. Phillips, editor of the Morning Post; first vice-president, T. J. Lassiter, of the Smithfield Her ald; second vice-president Clyde R. Hoey, of the Cleveland Star; third vice-president, W.B. West lake, of the Asheville Citizen. J. B. Sherrill was re-elected secre tary. M. L. Shipman,was chosen historian. Rev. J. 0. Atkinson, of Elon College, was made orator of the Association. As was to have been expected Rev. A.J. McKelway has brought suit for damages for libel against J. P. Caldwell and the Observer company. The public will watch this suit very closely as, no doubt, it will rival in interest the fa mous Gattis-Kilgo case. Asheboro needs a Sunday train and should have one. Climbing Skyward. New York has the promise of the highest structure in the world, not counting the Eifiel Tower, which is simply a steel hoopskirt. One of the greatest insurance companies is to build a monumental tower, 560 feet high, for which its present imposing eleven-story office building will be merely a base. The Wash ington Monument, 555 feet high, is now the loftiest inclosed struc ture in the world. Had the plans proposed for the city building at the end of the Brooklyn Bridsre been carried out, New York would have had an enormous of fice tower, 600 feet in height, which would have been beyond all rivalry. But though small compared with that, the new in surance sky-scaper will throw all existing structures in the shade. Aside from the thousand-foot Eifiel Tower there are four edi fices made with hands which ex ceed 500 feet in height the Washington Monument, 555; the Pyramid of Cheops, 520, and the two spires of the Cathedral of Cologne, 501. If the engineers had their way, unrestrained by considerations of light, air, beau ty and finance, they would have no trouble in filling our cities with office buildings a thousand feet high.

Just the same, it exists, and has to be con sidered. Some of the items that have gone to make it are not al together creditable to the govern ment as a business institution. One of these is the increase of upward of $4,000,000 in the cost of the Indian Department, with its mysterious item of $750,000 for "an attorney's fee not antic ipated." Nor is it encouraging that, notwithstanding the fact that the Navy Department ex- penUcvl on constructive -vrorH $4,500,000 less than was estimat ed, the balance against the Treas ury should nominally have risen $6,000,000 above the estimate. It is still perfectly possible for Congress to cut the garment of national expenditure according to the cloth that it gets in revenue especially as the revenue can be increased without putting any perceptible additional burden on the people. There are certain ex penditures that should not and cannot be avoided. Navy build ing is one of these. Improve ment in the postal service is an other, though there is no occa sion for positive extravagance there. But the deficit is a point ed suggestion in the direction of economy of expenditure in merely ornamental directions. Ex. Depo ,t St well. I am well. Please do not forget, two dollars.

We doubt if a democrat ever studies seriously about anything, but if he does he must undoubt edly feel lost and unadvised. It must make Bryan awful jeal ous to hear the Demmies savin er CJ so many nice things about Presi dent Roosevelt. About the biggest issue the Dems. have presented to the country lately was that bond is sue in the days of Grover. Now don't lose your breath. Where are those fellows who told us that if Roosevelt was elec ted we would soon be involved in a great world-war? They seem to be extremely gone. The United States, as a whole, are largely Republican, yet some of the States will insist on carry ing the corn in one end of the sack and a rock in the other. Subscribe for The Bulletin. One dollar a year. The Paul Jonas Discovery. It was certain, when the quest for the body of John Paul Jones, instituted by Gen. Horace Porter was rewarded with success, that doubt would be cast upon the genuineness of the find. Human nature is whimsical alike in its credulity and in its skepticism, Sometimes it will pursue a fake, sometimes resist a fact, with a pertinacity little short of ridiculous. There are people who believe that John Wilkes Booth was not killed by Boston Corbet, but that he made good his escape and lived many years after; yet the surmise in the very nature of the case to say nothing about the proof to the contrary dees not admit of reasonable conjecture, even of intelligent discussion. That the body of a man dead j one hundred and thirteen years and exhumed from an unmarked grave no matter what the iden tification should be received, without question by a public three thousand miles away, was not to be expected, In the first place the sensation newspapers, committed with each issue to as many surprises as may be found, or fabricated, would not permit it, and outside the newspapers, of course, the "doubting Thomas" is perennial and always around. It is fortunate, therefore, that General Porter has his evidence in such perfect shape, and that it is so abundant and absolute. Only a man of his orderly meth od, his trained deliberation and skill, his tenacity and sincerity of purpose could have worked to such a conclusion a task so ar duous and intricate. Ex. The Made Dog Fallacy. In all my own experience with dogs I have not only never seen a "made dog," but have never known a dog owner- and bv that I mean a man who has had ex perience in keeping dogs who has seen one. If, then, rabies is so exceedingly scarce hydro-j phobia becomes really an impos- sibility and the fear of it should be dismissed without a thought. A person may get dog bitten, but in the language of the New York tough, "Forget it." If it is a bad bite it may twitch later on j and you may begin worrying, so j it is a good plan to get rid of the twitching or throbbing in order to forget. I have been bitten so often that I think no more of it than a mosquito bite, and this is what I do. If it is on the hand I put it under the faucet and wash thorgughly, with the object of cleaning the wound and pre venting inflammation from any dirt or foreign substance. While doing this some one is getting the bicarbonate of soda and some clean rags or lint. With water a cream paste of the soda is made sufficient to plaster the wound well then putting some on a rag it is applied to the wound and bound up. If in the course of an hour or more the application seems to be drying, a little water is poured on the bandage to soak through to the soda, or the hand dipped in water.
