The issue before' the people has been put squarely by Lloyd George, and the people understand It I -cannot do better than to repeat his phrase: 'Shal. the peers or the people ruler" " ' - ' "Shall the peers or the people rule?' It that question were put to the Ameri can people, with application to Ameri can conditions, does any one doubt the result T Nay, it is not necessary to put the hypothetical question: it was put to the American people last November and decided in favor of the "peers," We must not be understood, in any de gree, as suggesting that the "shoddy" plutocrats who bought last year's pres idential election in this country, are to be rated in the same chus with the peers of Britain; for these latter are, for the most part, highly educated men with the manners, and principles of gentlemen. What we mean, is that the issue In a large sense Is the same: it is the -people versus the possessors of privileges privileges 'acquired -ori ginally. by force. Om, we may say, priv ileges acquired in violation of the doc trine of "the consent of the governed" the doctrine which Inspired our fore fathers in the revolution that separat ed us from the lana of, "th peers." The - slogan of ' tne Democracy In America last year was, "Do the people rule?" The triumph of the doctrine of force in 365 shifted the incidence of the "checks' and balances" of the Constitution' rom protection of the people to protection of that small por tion of the people whose wealth was created, first by tariff laws contrary to the law of the land, and, next, by the demonetization of silver contrary to the law of the land.' , -' , ; Wealth thus concentrated and power thus acquired enabled the possessors of it to win over the people in .last year's contest; but it is likely that the people will secure a majority in the House of Representatives next year. ... Here comes in the difference be tween Britain and America. , . If the issue is squarely presented in Britain, aa: epitomized ; by Premier Lloyd George and repeated by Mr. O' Connor, the people will certainly pre vail over the peers;1 for the will of the single popular chamber in the Bri tish parliament (the House 'of .Com mons, which elects the executive min istry) is supreme, and it takes but a few hours or days to find expression in law.'

Senate and President will see to It that it gets no further. : ",.vtSC It is worth while, in coming face to face with the stupendous fact Just re cited,, to remember that the ' people (through the Democratic party) had complete control of the government in 1893; and that Instead of obeying the command of the platform upon which control was secured namely, to abol ish the protective principle in mt tar iff laws the elected servants of the people allowed the Influence Of Wall street to defeat the popular will. " p .Again J in 1898, , in preparation for 1900, when tie opportunity was ot tered in North Carolina, then control ling the national situation, to cement the alliance or West and south, the same Influence secured the rejection of the urgent request of the chairman of the Democratic national executive committee that co-operation be effect ed ot all who accepted the.

Indeed, it is the perception by' concentrated wealth of the fact that such opportu nities can occur under our system of government only at long Intervals, that stimulates its activity.. Its calcula tions are based on the proposition that, at the crucial point, somewhere in our complex systems a venal Shiras Will ever be found.' i'. T s ' . j - Like the price of the Sibylline Vers es, which relatively increased with each refusal to- pay it, the obstacles to recovery of the people's rule In Amer ica have enormously increased with the failure of their servants to use the op portunities mentioned.' If, out of the present political 'chaos, the West and the South shall again find ground for union in favor of constitutional, prin ciples, the rule of the people may be restored. ' Otherwise, we shall hasten to the end of a Republican form of government, while our British cousins are establishing it in the mother coun try. 'i:V-v-v.-v-'-1, '': REMARKABLE ADVANCE IN THE PUBLISHERS ART, AS WELL AS IN LITERATURE, IN NORTH CAR OLINA.., " '. v'--".'-! We have had occasion heretofore to make mention of the great advance ment in the art ot 4wok-making in North Carolina,' in the last decade. This, no doubt is the natural outcome of the Increased attention to the writ ing, of books which has taken place In the same period. The : two result trom the shift of literary effort from a political to commercial expression, which is such a marked feature of the South's changed condition since the .War. A- ..'-v. The mdst complete illustration of what we have said is a book Just re ceived from the Stone and Barringer Company, Charlotte, N. C "In Love's Domain" ; and- "The Call- of the Woods," by H. E.' Hajman, a - Nortn , uaronna poeu - ine book- is beautifully printed and bound, and profusely illustrated with pictures (apparently photogravures) of lovely scenes in field and woodland, In fine, It is an exquisite little volume; and we think "The Tar Heel Library," proposed by tie publishers, including some of the writings of John Charles McNeill and Mr. H. E. C. Bryant will be a great addition to Southern litera ture. . - Of the volume under review, it may truly be said that Mr. Harman Is one of Nature's poets. His verses take the reader into the heart of the woods, and their Influence is far removed from the heat of the city.. Read this bit from "The Call of the Woods": 'TOere all the tumult of the market Dlace. . Here all the glamor of the crowd ed street Where vain deception walks with - haughty face Is lost amid thy. stillness and I meet Mv other self amid this cloistered shade. My better self which worldly ways suppress. And And the peace that comes to 'him who's prayed. With unobstructed soul in deep dis tress.

A MODEL ADDRE88 OF WELCOME, - For brevity, comprehensiveness' and elegant simplicity we are Inclined to think that the address ot welcome which Mayor MacRae of Wilmington delivered to the convention' of - the Daughters of the Confederacy, there, the other day. stands without a rival in these days of gushing long-winded- ness. 1 . . - :'i.,,.:j':t Here is the address complete: '" "Madam President and Daughters of the Confederacy: A long time ago I heard a famous New England orator say: -Tne Boutn is in ine oust;-our heels are upon its neck, .and it shall never more rise in America.' This pr0phecy, saturated with hate, has tvUnA Ctna mT nna now the smoke of thousands of factories and furnaces where arlm-vlsaged war left a waste. Millions ot spindles all over the world are humming with the Southern staple. The South is risen. She is erect and ' moving forward.'' Among the greatest factors in her marvelous res urrection are the faith and work of her daughters. - They took up the bur den when the armies were disDanaea and nobly and grandly - have they borne it on. And when such as you are not welcome here the waters ot the Cape Fear will be as the waters of Nlmrim. ,You are welcome to Wil mington and I trust that all the people will make you feel so.' "REAL TARIFF REFORM." As we had occasion to say at the outset ot the tariff muddle In Congress, the other day, unconditional free raw material, as such, has never been a tonal of the Democrats party. An attempt has been made to make , it appear that Mr. Bryan favors uncon ditional free raw material, and that he is therefore favoring a departure, from Democratic doctrine. - Some ot the dis- patoheshave.. represented MrvBryan as the champion ot free raw material and Senator Bailey as standing for a tariff for revenue only. ' These dis patches are' misleading. The truth is told in the .Commoner ot October, 16th, which shows that Mr. Bryan attaches a, condition of free raw material the abolition of the compensatory du ties, which the Republican tariff -imposes and which burden the consumer while they -enrich the manufacturer at the consumer's expense. Says The Commoner: . . Real Tariff Reform. The editor of the Houston Post is in distress. , He is deeply grieved, as well as sorely . disappointed, at Mr. Bryan's refusal to allow "friends" to arrange a debate between Senator Bai ley and himself. 1 ' -' Mr. Bryan has given his reasons tor believing that a Joint discussion is in advisable, but the Post. is disconso late. It says: "The Post does not im pute a lack ot courage to Mr, Bryan, as some do," (many thanks) -"but it does doubt the soundness of the rea son he gives for , avoiding the de bate." , .-- -ji,--:-Jri .', .There are several : other reasons which the Post may discover if it searches diligently,: -For instance: It may find that it would be a reflection upon Mr. Bailey's opponents in Texas to- assume that there is no one there competent to represent those who dif fer from hifh. And agaln,the, Post.J but for its infatuation,, might suspect that-'Senator Bailey, does not repre sent all the People of Texas, on the question of free lumber. 1 What reason has the- Post for. believing that the democratic congressmen . of Texas (all but one voted for free lumber) misrepresent their constituents? -. The Post, espouses the tax on lum ber as if it reflected a unanimous sen timent Is there any reason to be lieve that as a rule, a senator Is more likely than a congressman to voice the wishes of his constituents? Is not the presumption with the Texas con gressmen? ? And on the subject of free Iron ore: Why does the Post not suggest a Joint debate between Senator Culberson and Senator Bailey? Senator Culberson not only voted for ffee iron ore but he made a speech in favor of it Sen' ator Bailey has never answered Sen ator Culberson's arguments. Here is chance for 'Wends to arrange a Joint discussion. Why not give the people of Texas a chance to hear these two distinguished gentlemen debate a question which divided the democra cy of the senate, but would not' it might be added, be apt to divide the democracy anywhere else? And what reason has the Post for believing that Senator Bailey repre sents anybody but himself, when he denies the binding force of platforms? Does the Poet itself dispute the doc trine laid down In the first plank of the platform proposed by Mr. Bryan, viz: "A platform Is a pledge given by the candidate to the voters, and when ratified at the pous, becomes a con tract between the official and his con stituents. To violate it, in letter or in spirit, Is not only undemocratic, but repugnant to the principles ot rep resentative government' and . const! tutes an embezzlement of power." If the Post disputes this doctrine let it submit the question to a vote ot its own readers, and report the result of the vote. One (ot several) 'roubles with the Post, is that it does not fairly meet the propositions presented by Mr. Bry an. The Commoner calls its atten tion to the fact that the first plank reads: "Free wool, the abolition of the compensatory duties on woolens and a substantial reduction in the ad valor em, rate on woolens." Is the Post un willing to give the consumer the bene fit of "the abolition of the compensa tory duties on woolens and a sub stantial reduction in the ad valorem rate on woolens," because to do so would require the admission ot free wool? If the Post Insists on a tax on wool merely because 1107 men out of ti e total population ot Texas raise sheep, how can it complain if the democrats of other states insist on protecting everything raised in those states. The second deman dot Mr. Bryan's platform is for "free lumber, free wood pulp and free paper." Does the Post still demand a tax on lumber in spite of the votes cast for free lumber by all the Texas congressmen, except one? The second demand of Mr. Bryan's platform is- for "free hides, leather, harness, boots and shoes." Does the Post oppose this demand? Both of the senators and all the congressmen from Texas have expressed their will ingness to have hides put on the free list providing leather, harness, boots and. shoes are also admitted free, and that is what Mr. Bryan asks for. Is the Post opposed to "free oil and products of oil?" and it it is in favor of free 011 and the products of oil, why is it so afraid to put other things on the free list? Is the Post opposed to "low duties on the manufactures of iron and steel,' it in order to secure these it must fa vor "tree iron ore and free coal?" Is it opposed to "free binding twine, cotton ties and cotton bagging?' Is it opposed to - "material : reduc tions" In the cotton schedules, and in the tariff upon all other necessities of life, especially-.- npon - articles sold abroad more cheaply than at home? Is it opposed to putting upon the free list "articles coming into compe tition with trust made articles r Is it opposed to fixing a maximum ; ot 60 per cent, so that no articles, er cept liquor and tobacco, will be taxed more than that? Is it opposed to the gradual reduc tion to 25 per cent of all rates above 25 per cent! . - '; ' The Commoner : reproduces below the platform which Mr. Bryan read at Dallas, and which bad been put into an editorial before he went to Texas: . 1. A platform Is a pledge, given by the candidate to the voters, and when ratified, at the polls becomes a con tract between the official and his con stltuents. To violate it, in letter or In spirit, Is not only undemocratic, but repugnant to the principles ot repre sentative government, and constitutes an embezzlement of power. 2. We denounce . the despotism. known as Cannonlsm' and favor such an amendment to the rules ot the na tional house ot representatives as will restore popular government in that body and insure the rule ot the major ity on every question. 3. - We endorse the tariff plank of the last national democratic platform and believe that the measure carrying out the - promise ot that platform should, among other things, provide for Free wool, the abolition of the com. peasatory dutleson woolens and a sub stanttal reduction in the ad valorem rate on woolens. Free lumber, free wood pulp and free paper. ' : ' Free hides, leather, harness, boots and shoes.. . ' . :v r. ; Free oil and products of oil. v, , ; Free iron ore, free coal and low du ties on all manufactures ot iron, and steel.' : '.-... : -j Free binding twine, cotton ties and cotton bagging. . .. . .. Material reductions in the cotton schedules and In the tariff upon all other necessaries ot life, especially up on articles sold abroad more cheaply than at home, the aim being to put the lowest duty on articles of necessity and the highest on articles of luxury. Articles coming into competition with trust-made articles should be placed on me free list. No tariff rate should be above 60 per cent ad valorem, except upon li quor and tobacco, and all rates above 25 per cent excepting those upon li quor and tobacco, should be reduced one-twentieth each year until a 25 per cent rate Is reached, the purpose being to reduce the tariff gradually to a re venue basts and thereafter to collect tariff lor. revenue only. . Let the Post take this platform up, plank by- plank, and state to its read ers how much it approves, and how much R condemns, and then its read ers will be able to And several rea sons Why. It is not necessary for Mr. Bryan to enter into a Joint debate on these items with any democrat In favoring real tariff reform and a specific declaration in favor of tariff reduction, Mr. Bryan represents tne democrats of Texas and of the entire south, as well as the democrats of the north. On a number of these questions, the democratic congressmen of Texas have already gone on record, and Mr. Bryan, will not assume that they are misrepresenting their constituents when they repudiate the protective tariff doctrine urged in behalf ot a few Texas people who are pecuniarily Interested in producing the raw mater ials that deman d a tariff for tariff's sake. , , ' THE NATIONAL RIVERS AND HAR- , BOR8 CONGRE83. The following letter was received by due course of mail, and is published with the request that all persons in terested will act upon its suggestions: Cincinnati Office, Oct 20, 1909. Hon, E. J. Halet Director . National Rivers, and Harbors Congress. Fayetteville, N. C. My dear Sir: . There goes forward to you by same mail as this the official call for and invitation to the Sixth Convention of our Congress, Washington, D. C, De cember 8-10, which is sent to you this early that you may have advance in formation. I am also today sending the call to the Presidents and Secretaries of all Commercial Organizations, together WH si letter -requesting that the mat ter have their attention at the regular November Meetings of their Boards of Directors and that delegates be ap pointed. . This Is done with the belief that it will give to those organizations ample time to take official action. If you desire that these invitations be sent to either individuals or trade organizations In your immediate sec tion and will kindly furnish me such a list I shall take pleasure in imme diately forwarding the call to all whom you may suggest I am sure it is needless for me to ask that every personal influence and exertion possible be put forth by your self, to the end that we may assemble lh Washington, on the dates Indicated, such a gathering of prominent men as will be convincing evidence to the Sixty-first Congress, In first regular session assembled, to President Taf and the Executive Branch of the Gov ernment that a wide-spread and in sistant demand for a Waterway Policy comes from every section of the coun try. You will note that the President is to open our Convention and we be lieve his first message to Congress on general legislation and his address to the Convention will plainly state that he ts in favor of such a policy as this Organization has been advocating. Assuring you that I will appreciate any suggestions from you and that the same will be carried out as though they were Instructions, I beg to re main. Very sincerely yours, J. F. ELLISON, Secretary. As stated in our dispatches, the President has already declared him self in favor of the policy advocated by the National Rivers and Harbors Congress; and, on Monday in one of his speeches on the Presidential trip down the Mississippi River, Speaker Cannon at last gave in his adhesion to the same policy. - . Our advices up to the present in dicate an enormous attendance at the coming convention - at Washington, Deo. 8, 9 and 10, Last year there were something over 3,000 delegates. The indications for the approaching con vention are for 6,000 delegates. Our . Washington correspondent sends us the following letter on this subject: ; "When the Supreme Court of the United States gave its first decision on the commerce clause of the Consti tution by defining 'commerce' as 'com prehending navigation , the way was pavea tor otners to follow and lighted ror tne Benefit of congress in the en actment of future legislation and thus the first great monopoly was struck down." ...-.,: -v-.-... . Senator Duncan U. Fletcher of Flor ida made this statement in the course of an interesting discussion on the imperative need for improving the wa terways of the country tq keep abreast or the Nation's ' production. Senator Fletcher is president of the Mississlp- pi-to-Atiantlc Waterway Association which will hold its second annual con ventlon at Jacksonville, Florida. Nov ember IB, is and it terminating its sessions just aa the Atlantlo Deeper Waterways Association begins Its meetings in Norfolk, va., November 17,18, 19, and 20. n , ; - . The Junior Senator from Florida is an enthusiastic advocate ot a broad comprehensive and systen atlo policy of waterway betterments In order that the rivers, harbors and canala ot the country may be preserved,, developed, ana maintained. . . "We are face to face with a gigan tic Industrialism", said Senator Fletch er. : "We must have a care for the - 1 producersjind see that no monopoly et transportation can injure the peo ple upon whom our prosperity must depend.- We have had actual experi ences in traffic demoralization, and the losses and Inconveniences already experienced can scarcely be calcu lated. .. Wisdom demands that some thing be done looking to an increase of transportation faculties, to relieve congestion and the only way relief to the producer and consumer can be brought about is through proper care of our waterways, a responsibility rest ing with the general government, '-' It is clafmed,Kwltb strong support, that the movement ot traffic long dis tances is more rapid by water than by rail. The productions of the farms, mines, manufactures and the various other industries of the country are making tremendous gains. The prob lem Is to reach the markets. The in terchange of commodities requires in creased facilities. It is a wholesome thing to add to the ways and means ot communication among the people. It strengthens the Republic by cement ing all its parts in close business and social relation. The Interior must have access to the seaboard. The various terminals at . the seaboard should be . accessible to each other. Our foreign trade must grow and we should prepare tor the expanding com merce, aided by the Panama Canal, and other influences at work in that direction. Posterity will be the bene ficiary and posterity ought and will be In uosltlon to contribute towards tne cost ot this utilization of natural ad vantages, increase National economies, enabling us to meet the commercial competition of the world. A commission to determine upon the scope and plan of a complete sys tem of waterway improvement should be created and enough money should be raised by bond Issue, as needed, to do the work within a period of ten years. "We can utilize our plant as it is released at Panama with a great savlne in expense. This Is a matter of far reaching Importance and delay Is short-sighted and wicked. "The Mlssi8slppl-to-Atlantlc water way Association advocates a band of unity cementing the interests of the Mississippi Valley, Gul' and Atlantlo coasts. While the association stands for a project, differingyin that respect from the National Rivers and Harbors Congress, whose conyentkm will be held in Washington next December, in, that it favors a policy and not a pro ject for waterway improvement tne two associations have very mucn in common. The association 01 wmcn 1 am President is a warm supporter of the National Rivers and Harbors Con gress, for with a comprehensive policy established, the section of the country which I "have the honor to represent in Dart cannot help but be benefited when the work ot Increasing the facili ties for water transportation is accom plished." THE DEATH OF JUDGE MacRAE. We have received the following: Resolutions of the Faoulty. The death of Judge James Cameron MacRae, LL.

His courtliness of man ner, his intellectual gifts, and his kind ness of heart endeared him to all his associates and assured him an honor ed place in all relations of life. In time 01 war ne did ms lull duty to his State and to the cause which he strove to defend. He was no less faithful to the duties of citizenship in time of peace. A diligent student ot the Law, ne had enjoyed a varied and extensive experience as practitioner, Superior Court Judge, and Justice of the Su preme Court, and he was an able ex pounder of the principles and practice of the Law. At this University he was a gifted and faithful teacher, stimu lating to his students both by his en gaging personality anu by his wide learning. Upon all who came within the sphere of his influence, upon his class es, the University at large, his Church, the community, and upon the State of North Carolina his death has brought a -serious loss. To those up on whom tnis loss bears most neavl- ly we respectfully offer our heartfelt sympathy. University of North Carolina. Octo ber 25th 1909. EBEN ALEXANDER, WALTER D.

The extended use ot commercial fertilisers by the farmers makes It im perative that a thorough understand ing of the action ot fertilizers be ob tained, for perhaps as much as one third or the money spent for fertili sers is annually wasted and brings no adequate return owing to this lack of understanding of tae soli's require. ments, therefore extreme care should be exercised by the farmers in study lng tnis important subjeot. - Fertilizer materials can be obtained through fertilizer dealers and mixed at home according to their percent- age contents ot the plant foods, pot assium, phosphoric acid and nitrogen, so as to give any desired mixture. The mixing can be done immediately be fore applying, or at any convenient time, except where nitrate of soda is used, in which case the preparation should be used soon after being mixed. The materials should be weighed out and heaped together on a clean floor and thoroughly mixed ,. with spades and hoes. When a uniform color has been secured the mixture may be con sidered ready for application. ' The most common commercial fer tilizer used in our district is the 8 2-2 brand (8 per cent phosphorlo acid, 3 per cent nitrogren and 2 per cent pot ash,) but this Is rather a poor grade, and on .sandy loam soils better results are usually had where the potash con tent Is double this amount, or even three times as great in case of deep sand soils. A mixture analyzing some thing like 10 3-5 gives excellent re sults on much of the yellow and dark gray sandy soils In our section ot the State. I have some farmers' bulletins on hand which give the plant food con tents of various fertilizer ingredients. By the aid of these any farmer would be able to calculate the proper amount of each Ingredient to use In order to make a fertilizer Contain any desired percentage ratio of phosphoric acid, nitrogerT and potash. Below I give four of the cotton and corn mixtures: " Mixture No. 1. Acid prosphate, 1000 poundB, cotton seed meal 600 pounds; kalnlt, 400 pounds. Mixture No. 2. Acid phosphate 1200 pounds; fish scrap, 700 lbs., muriate of potash, 100 pounds. Mixture No. 3. Acid phosphate, 1000 pounds; muriate of potash, 200 pounds; cotton seed meal, 700 pounds; nitrate of soda, 100 pounds. Mixture No. 4. Acid phosphate, 1000 pounds; muriate of potash, 100 pounds; nitrate of soda, 100 pounds; cotton seed meal, 300 pounds; woods mould, or rich earth, 500 pounds. The amount to be applied per acre will depend, of course, on the charac ter and condition of the soli. The sandier the soil and the lower its vege table matter or humas content, the heavier Is the application required. The commercial fertilizers are always more lasting In effect on soils which have a good humos contents, and they should be applied in conjunction with application ot barn yard manure, or a crop like cow peas, vetch, or crim son clover plowed under In the green or partly matured stage. Soils that tend to run together and compact, and those that have a sour taste, are usual ly benefited by applying burned lime at the rate of something like thirty bushels per acre after a covering of vegetation has been plowed under. nitrogen should be largely secured by growing legumes; such as vetch, crim son clover, cow peas, soy beans and velvet beans. The Agricultural Department at Washington has prepared books, which impart full Information to the farmers on this subject and on other subjects I ot much, lnterBl to them; these books I nn winxA nn.n., t Tl...l,! . AnJ can not be of service to the farmers unless they are properly distributed among those who are Interested in them. I should be glad to pro cure them for any Interested farmers if they will let me know their wishes. H. L. GODWIN. NO CASE ON RECORD.
