No movement, says a correspond ent, is at the present time more deeply stirring the ranks ot organized labor throughout the United States than the campaign against tuberculosis Poli tics, strikes, boycotts, and all other isues are being side-tracked to make way for the fight which Is to save the lives of thousands of laboring men. Meetings are being held and move ments started In hundreds Of cities tor the purpose of , stimulating the labor forces to activity in anti-tuber-(miosis work. , :-r.;: 4 This uprising against the worst foe of the worklngmen is of such recent growth that In spite ot its present mag nitude and dally development, few peo ple are aware of Its significance and Importance. Several years ago some of the larger national and internation al labor unions, notably the printers and cigar makers, began an antl-tu-berculosls movement among their members, ; Which resulted In ' the es tablishment hy the printers of a san atorium in Colorado Springs. Two years ago Mr. Paul Kennaday, of New York, spoke before the American Fed eration of Labor, and stirred many of the other unions to definite action against tuberculosis.' This movement ripened about a year ago, when, in Al bany, N. Y, the laboring men got to gether and built a pavilion Chiefly for the benefit of their afflicted members. The. members ot the Central Federa ted Union of that city,' numbering about 6,000,- each pay five cents a mopth for the maintenance of this pav ilion,;. But more than the pavilion, was the interest they aroused In the ranks of labor throughout New York State and the country In general. : V " 1 The results of. the movement hare been the establishment of a labor. department by the State Charities Aid Association and a special lecturer to the unions, and an effort to enlist the aid of laboring men throughout the State In the campaign against tuber culosis. The American; Federation of Labor,-at its recent Denver.' Conven tion, 'adopted resolutions of approval of the general course followed at Al bany, , and called upon its affiliated unions throughout the country to fol low this example. Several of the State Federations ot labor -have also urged action against tuberculosis. The In ternational Tuberculosis Exhibit, held in New York City recently, stirred the worklngmen of that city and Brook lyn to a realization of danger and re sponsibility, and they, too, recently took definite Action In the warfare agajnst this disease, From here the movement has spread all over the United Btates, until almost every labor union ot any importance in almost ev ery trade is beginning to discuss tu berculosis at. Its meetings. Hartford, Conn:; Galveston, Tex.; Newark, N. X; St Louis, Mo: ; San Francisco, Cal.; Trenton, N.

Gunshannon, a move ment .has been organized in Hartford, Bridgeport, New Haven and several other cities; through which the various employers and employees of the fac tories are pajdng for the treatment i.t their fellow consumptives.. , Mr. Gun shannon's plan is to Interest each fac tory in an effort to care for its own consumptives. Subscriptions are tak en among the worklngmen, and in al most every case the employer contri butes a sum equal to the total contri buted by his men. These various fac tory units are. so organised into a central body that the stronger ; ones a beautiful and rare canvas by Delt rich; another by von Behr; etchings by Michael Angelo, Rembrandt, and Salvator Boss, and others. . "These treasures of art once belong ed to the collection of Gen.

The young officer, with the Britisher's characteristically child like credulity, believed the story, and, needing money, he sold fils commis sion ' and sailed for the Carolina mountains to seek his fortune among .the-silver mines, .hi'V.?-:rrz.: '-H , "Needless to say. he never found them, but to the day of his death, which occurred some' fifteen years ago, at an advanced age, he still he leived 1 nthe existence ot the silver deposits, although he had net the means to develop them.

If I had antici pated that It would offend any mem ber of the club, I would have taken my leave of my well-wishers In an in formal Way.- ' . , ' -.. . "For nearly forty years, and much ot that time with great activity, I have been in the ranks of the Demo cratic party. I have never sought of It the reward ot office, nor any other benefits, direct or indirect Like many Southern men, I have at times dis approved its policies; but on account of local conditions, did not actively op pose It. It is an abnormal condition when almost all those who represent the property and- best citizenship of ten contiguous States act together po- lltlcally. It is certain that all ot them do not think alike on all such ques tions, and that difference of opinion would lead to opposite party affilia tion in the Southern States, as in the other States, but for a constant and powerful compacting force. . It Is a misfortune to the South, a misfortune to the whole country, that inexorable conditions were such that differences on all other questions have been sub ordinated to one question. When such action ot those best qualified to repre sent their people is extended througn out so long a period and so constantly, it would be like Indicting a nation to affirm that It was either unwise or unpatriotic Whether or not these conditions will operate In the future as they have In the .past I do not claim the wisdom to predict. All , lovers ot our country should unite in the hope that this may not be. true not so much on account of' the political re sult as on account of the conditions themselves, which, are a - constant menace to the South and in reflex ac tion operate with unhappy effects upon the entire country, " , -: . f "On account ot the causes to which I have referred, all of the Southern States at the last election' cast their electoral vote against President Taft, as they have' hitherto done with re spect to other Republican presidential condldates. ..Therefore politically there was no . bond between him and the Southern States, battle has been fought, entering upon the duties ot his office -as President of the entire country. , ' . "Moved : by no t obligation to the South but with strong friendship and sympathy for the Southern people, and still more with a patriotlo love for the entire country whose welfare is necessarily bound np with that ot tno South, he determined to invite Into his cabinet a Southern man, thereby giving assurance to the Southern peo ple that although their solid electoral vote was against him, he wanted them to feel that they were in close relations with his administration and would be in no sense alien to it . "If he had selected for this purpose a Southern Republican, however well qualified to discharge the duties of the office, it would not have fulfilled the purpose he had In mind. If he had selected a Democrat who had voted for him there would have been room for , carping criticism to say, however unjustly, that the appoint ment had been tendered and accepted as a reward lor sucn support; ana, besides, such an appointment might have lacked that ligament with the Southern people which - would exist between them and one who had left the party. I am confident' -that the great purpose of the : President was to establish the relationship I have Indicated. It would belittle the broad patriotism which inspired him to as sume that this purpose was to achieve political results. Having known me for a long time and intimately, and having conferred with Southern men whose opinions he valued, he came to the'conc'tusion that my qualifications and my relations to the Southern peo ple were such as to justify putting me In his cabinet - , ; ' .. "That the purpose operating in his mind was broad, magnanimous ana patriotic, no one can question. The wisdom both ot the purpose and of his selection is to be tried by time. I have everv assurance from letters and expressions in the public press, that his action in appointing me and my action in accepting are approved by the South, and having the approval ot the Southern Democratic States, whose Judgment was especially ap pealed to In thla matter by the Presi dent I can bear with equanimity any criticism that may come from indi vidual Democrats elsewhere." - citizens of Fayettevllle and surround- Ino country.: Office with or. a. h.

In 1878, or thereabouts, in New York, General Leventhorpe frequently took the writ er to-8ee his growing collection." One night he came, in great delight, to ask him to see two new acquisitions. One, we recall, was a Dante Gabriel Rosset- ti, which he had picked up in his trav els, which had Just been cleaned, and which he identified as genuine. The other, he said was "not in the books, but he believed It to be genuine. No doubt that was the Raphael referred to in the Herald artlole-Twhloh, Is as follows: t ,''V-V 'V. : ''''. ' Speaking of art treasures in the Walters Gallery, what would you saw at once that it was good bought it, ' : "After it. had been cleaned and renovated with great care the owner, examining it was astonished to find that it was signed by Raphael, or at least With the Initials that Raphael used in signing his work. The general saw also that the, painting was strik ingly like Raphael's the grouping of the figures, the long-taperlng fin gers all showed' the well-known char acteristics of the famous decorator of the Vatican - ' "I know nothing whatever of art, but even I can recognize the re semblance between this 'Adoration ot the Shepherds' and such of Raphael's paintings as I have seen in the Louvre and elsewhere. , Moreover, It im presses me- as superior to a number ot RaDhael's oftlntlngs' that 1 have seen.' ;. . Owned by Spaniards. . ; " "Naturally, Gen. -Leventhorpe got varv busv trvin to find where this gem ot his had come from. He dis covered, he" once told me, that the picture had belonged to an old and wealthy , family that had left Spain, I think, on account of - politics, he said, in the sixteenth or seventeenth century. . ' -. . "I remember correctly, he said,'' they went over to. Mexico, and later to New Orleans. The family had dwin dled, the last ot the men had been killed in the war, and finally, at the death ot one of the women, the ow mansion and everything in it had been Bold at auction. - v "The 'Adoration of the Shepherds was supposed to- have been brought from Spain and had been highly pris ed by the family, but the general could find nothing beyond that , "He took the painting to new xorn and for several years exhibited it, as has been said, in the Metropolitan Museum, Gen. di Cesnola having been a personal friend. Many art experts were consulted, and they disagreed. , . "Those who disbelieved admitted the painting's similarity to Raphael's work, admitted its value as a work of art; but declared it past belief that a real Raphael coma nave-iouua i way to America without some record of that fact being in existence, and that nowhere in all that had been written of Rapheal's creations was to be found, any reference to such a naintintc as the 'Adoration of. the Shepherds.'-:;"';. ; v:'i...-.';.'. Critics Believe It Genuine. "While admitting these things, some critics still believed it genuine, con tending that any man who could paint such a picture was too great an artist to have counterfeited Raphael's slg natuFA. - Thev ureed also that any artist who would have perpetrated a. fraud by signing a painting wiia so other's name would have made the signature prominent Instead ot mak ing it extremely smau, ana biuiuv hiding it down in one corner. "They pointed out also how re markable the coloring was after all the centuries and the painting's many vicissitudes. 1Vl,'4". "Other critics believed it probably the work' ot one of Raphael's able students. The discussion, of course, came to nothing. " . ."Gen. , Leventhorpe, nowever, al ways believed that he possessed the neatest painting, the' most priceless In recent years there has been a change In all this. The word bas run Us course. It has long ceased to occur, or at least to occur with any frequen cy, In the President's own utterances. And the reason is very plain. Mr. Roosevelt's career In the White House has been so persistent and continuous an exhibition ot strenuoslty that to keep calling attention to the abstract quality would be so obviously super fluous as to border on the laughable. Mr. Roosevelt has been a vigorous and insistent preacher of -strenuoslty; he has been an infinitely more vigorous and - Insistent practlcer ot it. And now, as he is about to leave the White House, the record of seven years , of unparalleled activity, animated by the gospel of strenuoslty and backed by unusual talents and abilities, stands be fore his countrymen for appraisal. That this record Includes a great deal that is good must be admitted by all fair minded persons. We shall not attempt to catalogue the specific con tributions to the general welfare that have been made by President Roose velt Perhaps most indisputable of all his claims to public gratitude is his steady insistence on the Importance of the conservation - of our natural re sources' and the preservation of 'nat ural "passesslons like our as yet un slaughtered forests, a This is a subject In which Mr. Roosevelt has felt a lifelong and Intense Interest, and his work In promoting the great ends In view will be of permanent help to the nation. In the vigorous hunting down of land thieves the double service was done of protecting the national domain and ot promoting the cause Of public morality.: The principle of the merit system, as applied to the vast army of Government employes In the civil service, has been-upheld by Mr. Roose velt in several Important and specific cases witness his recent veto of the Census bill and its scope has been greatly extended, though in the army and navy the personal friends of Mr. Roosevelt have felt the-benefit of his friendship by promotion over those in line of advancement The bringing about of peace between Russia and Japan was an undertaking in which Mr. Roosevelt piayea a unique pan, and-for the successful execution of which he has received the plaudits of all mankind. And finally, to speak of a broader phase of his ability, he has done a great national service in show ing that, even when the Republican party Is in power, the desires of great corporate interests may be defied with impunity. Whatever the shortcomings of Mr. Roosevelt's crusade against plutocracy. It has had the cardinal merit of furnishing this much-needed demonstration. The identification of the Republican party lth the great capitalistic Interests had been suppos ed to be so complete, and the power of these interests with politicians of both parties had been so (Teat, that the spectacle presented by the pass age of the Railroad Rate Bill, the Pure Food bill, the Denatured Alcohol bill and certain other measures was in it self of the highest moral and politi cal value. It requires a strong effort now to recall the feeling of hopeless noKs that nrevailed. only a few years ago, whenever the idea was advanced of achieving under a Republican Con gress and a Republican President any thing to which any great capitalistic interest was opposed. It Is quite true that the advance was made along the lines of the Democratic program; but the energy and the political shrewdness which led Mr. Roosevelt to force these parts of the Democratic program upon his own party were not borrowed from anybody. ; But what has distinguished Mr. Roosevelt's administration from those of .all of hiB predecessors has been the spirit that has prevaded it, rather than any specific achievement or any specific failure. Had he Deen a canai date for re-election last fall, the burn ing Issue ot the campaign would have been the question whether the nation train from the opprobrious attacks upon Federal Judges; it was easy to fall Into language of contemptuous In sult to Congress in his last annual message without being really aware that he had done so. All through his conduct, the good as well as the bad, there runs the fundamental assump tion that he Is the appointed guardian of the welfare of the republic, In ev ery possible aspect; that he is fully equal to the task; that any limitations that are sought to be placed upon his exercise ot this great tunctlon are in spired by greed, malice or Ignorance; and It is not surprising that, with this for a foundation, there should, have arisen a multitude of acts marked by arbitrariness, violence and Injustice. The really serious . question Involv ed In estimating the desirability, of such an administration as that of Mr. Roosevelt is the question whether we want a government by law and sober nubile ODinlon or- covernment by a benevolent despot whose power rests upon constant displays ot picturesque strenuoslty, appealing to popular emo tion. Conceding everything that can be claimed for Mr. Roosevelt's genu ine patriotism, his unparalleled energy and the good be has actually accom plished in particular matters, we are compelled to conclude that it is not In the Rooseveltlan way that the na tional health can be secured and main tained. Disregard of the restraints of iaw and precedent on the one hand, and dependence on the all-sufficing virtues of a strenuous master on the other these are habits whose growth would soon be subversive of the whole of our democratic and republican tra dition. It Is not to the strident self assertion and the volcanic energy of one man, nor to his turbulent restless ness and lawless Impatience, tnat tne country must learn to look for Its sal vation. Its progress may seen to be slower, but It will be infinitely more substantial, under the guidance of statesmen who lay out less compre hensive programs, but seek to attain their ends by reasonable persuasion rather than by tempestuous crusades, and who respect the limitations pre scribed by the laws and the estab lished institutions ot their country. The American people are not yet ready, we take it either for the ab sorption of all governmental functions by the Federal Government at Wash ington, or for the concentration of all 8PRING DESTRUCTION OF TERRA i PIN BUGS. Director Williams, of the North Car olina Agricultural Experiment Station, requests us to publish the following, which we do with pleasure: ' The annual loss caused by ierrapln bugs ' sucking the life out of collards, cab bages, turnips and allied plants is diffi cult to estimate accurately, but cer tainly amounts to thousands of dol lars In North Carolina. A large pro portion of this loss may be prevented if farmers, gardeners ana trucsers will take the trouble to collect or In some way destroy the bugs that first appear this spring. We have conclus ive evidence that such work may be made a paying investment. We can not however, continue to watt, as is usually done, until the bugs become so numerous as to cause very notice able Injury In gardens or fields, but on" the contrary they must be destroy ed before they commence to lay eggB; otherwise the annual loss will re main the same or will increase. In November last this Station pub lished a press bulletin urging farmers to immediately collect and kill the ter rapin bugs, then in their -fields, to pre vent their living in such numbers through the winter. Now it. seems ad visable to uree the equally Important work of destroying those individuals that escaped last fall, and which will soon commence to come out from their winter hiding quarters. Only Adult Bugs Survive The Winter. Eggs and young bugs do not live throueh the winter in this State; hence it is only fully-grown, strong adult males and females which survive by finding favorable hibernating quarters under rubbish around the gardens, un der stones, In fence corners and sim ilar places, where they are protected from the weather. As this has been a mild winter, they are liable to appear in greater numbers than usual in the spring. When Egg Laying Commences. We could not consistently urge the task of destroying the overwintering bugs if they commenced to lay eggs upon their first appearance. Careful observation has shown that at least two weeks' time elapses after the bugs appear before the first eggs are deposited. During this period they are governmental power In the person of I very actively feeding and mating, and the President; and until they are tney cannot nass a verdict of approval on the methods and the spirit that have been dominant at the White House during the Administration that comes to a close to-morrow. GRAPE CULTURE. Wilmington Star. Mr. Geo. C. Husmann, "pomologist in charge of viticultural Investigations, United States Department of Agricul ture," was in our city a day or so ago. His special work is developing and improving the species of grape known as the Rotundafolia, including such as the scuppernong, the James, tho mlsh. etc. Mr. Husmann gav us an interesting talk on his work and on what the Agricultural Department Is doing In the way of improving these grapes, so as to proauce a larger fruit a more abundant yield and a grape that can be shipped to distant markets. He is enthusiastic over his work and is anxious for the co-operation of the people with the depart ment. He is always ready and anx ious to give Instructions as to the cul ture and the pruning of vines, the lat ter being of special importance in bringing about the developments de sired. Mr. Husmann's territory extends from Florida to Virginia, ana wnen here he was making a tour northward from the latter State.

His contempt for law and precedent when they stood in the way of any object that he had at heart, he hardly took the trouble to conceal.

Any technicality, however tenuous, it It pointed his way, he regarded as a legitimate basis for the Justification of schemes of sweeping cnange wiuiens his eager approval ot the preposterous suggestion that the postomces ana posi roadB clause ot the Constitution might be made the means of assuming for the' Federal Government-practicallf complete control of commerce within the separate States, Instead of having it limited, as at present to interstate commerce; and on tne omer nana mo plainest obligation OI good iaitn, em- There one can learn how to plant tend and prune the vines.

Wild mustard and turnips are favorite food plants, and collards, with their broad leaves, often harbor a large number of them. The prime object of this article is to emphasize the fact that the farm er or gardener who watches closely for the first .terrapin bugs to appear has about two weeks' time to kill them and still prevent the majority from laying eggs for the first generation. Rate Of Increase. Have you ever considered the actual benefit that results from killing one female terrapin bug when she first ap pears In spring? Observe the follow Ine statements: The average number ot eggs laid by each bug varies from eighty-four to ninety-six that is, sev en or eight masses of twelve eggs each, deposited over a period of from four to eight weeks. There are three full generations each year. Suppose we kill a single terrapin bug and thus pre vent ninety-six young for the first gen eration, of which one-half might be females. If these forty-eight females re-produced at the same rate, the sec ond gneratlon would number 4,608 in dividuals. Counting only one-half as females, each capable of producing ninety-six young, the third generation would reach the enormous number of 221,184, the progeny of one female In a single year. We can divide- this number by one hundred and still have over 2,200 as the number of bugs pre vented by killing one Individual when She first appears. During the warm summer months a minute parasite in the form of a tiny black fly destroyes a large percentage of the eggs, but as a general thing these parasites do not become abound ant until the first (feneration Is well developed; so that the desruction of FAYETTEVILLE MARBLE AND GRANITE WORKS Strictly First-class , -- , .Work.
