If Major Bilklns can escape the lecture platform he will be a real hero. The Democrats should hold their National Convention at Salt Lake City. A Democratic exchange wanta Bry an to take the veil. If he does, it wih be put on him by force. If Bryan should discover the South Pole the Democrats would want to use It in building their next plat form. If the farmers want low prices to prevail, of course it would be consist ent for them to vote the Democratic ticket. Monday's papers stated that Mr. Bryan was in Chili, lie seems to be going the route of Dr. Frederick Cook. Ex-President Zelaya, of Nicaraga, has announced that he will write a book. His enemies will doubtless be delighted. A press dispatch says that about one-third of the people in Alabama have hookworm. Still another bid for Rockefeller's million. The Durham Herald says it is now up to ex-Governor Glenn to redeem the Fifth District. Dare you to put him up against Morehead. The Democrats claim that the new tariff is the cause of high prices. If that is true, then why is cotton sell ing high, when it is on the free list?

TAFT BILLSTO PASS The President's Cut in Pro gram is Approved by Party Leaders. TO INSIST ON 4 NEW ACTS Measures to Amend Commerce Laws, Regulate Issuance of Injunctions, Admit Arizonla and New Blexlco as States, and Withdraw Public Lands for Conservation Slay Be Enacted Senate Will Scale Down House Appropriations Wherever Possible The River and Harbors Bill. (Special to The Caucasian.) Washington, D. C.. Feb. 23. 1910. The announcement from the White House that President Taft had cut to four, the number of damlnistra- tion measures he would demand at the present session of Congress is re ceived by Republican leaders with unmixed feelings of relief. A schedule, including only the bills to amend the interstate com merce laws, to provide for the regu lation of the issuance of injunctions, to start Arizona and New Mexico on the road to Statehood, and to vali date the withdrawals of public lands for conservation purposes, is regard ed as quite possible of attainment. Most of these measures, it Is be lieved can be put through the Senate while the House is still wrestling with appropriation bills. When it was reported at the Capi tol Saturday that the President would be satisfied with the enactment of the four measures named steps were taken to bring all these matters out of committees at the earliest possible date. The postal savings bank bill already is before the Senate and an agreement between the supporters of conflicting amendments is assured. It is regarded as practically certain that the bill can be passed during the coming week. j Commerce Court Bill.

Grainrer. of lciBt I died eaHT Tneadav mnrnln THE COLD STOIUGE TRUST. Circa a One of the Causes of the High Coct of Living:. Washington PosL The Philadelphia Record Is a high ly respectable and a thoroughly re sponsible newspaper, and it makes some state men is that are simply startling: in its discussion of cold storage of foods throughout the country. The Record says it infor mation is obtained from "the official guide-book, circulated only among cold-storage men, and from figures therein it appears that there are no in cold storage in the United States the carcasses of 14,000,000 cattle, 6.U00.OUO calves, 21,000.000 sheep and lambs, and 50,000,000 hogs, or one animal for each adult in the United States, with enough whole animals left over to k apply each faxn il with two carcasses. This meat is deposited In 558 plants, in which Is also stored fish to the value of $2 5.0O0.000. The Record further find that In other cold-storage plants -there are 150,- OuO.000 dozen eggs and 130,000,000 pounds of butter and fruits worth 150,000,000. The Record continues: "Besides, there are millions of pounds of potatoes and onions, thou sands of turtles, eels, cases of canned goods, and milk, butter, and cheese avlued at $100,000,000." And it Is estimated that the total value of foods put in cold storage each year approaches $3,000,000,000. If that be a correct statement. Congress can blow out Its lantern. The malefactor who makes high prices Is found. How much of this stuff is unfit for food It is impossi ble to estimate; but an egg has re cently been identified in Indiana that went Into cold storage in 1907 and was sold for food in 1910. Under the interstate commerce clause Congress has power to greatly discipline the cold-storage forestall ed; but the States must complete the business. There should be a time limit fixed for the storage of foods in such depositories, and other regulations should be- made, such as rigid periodical inspections and la beling of articles offered for sale. PRETTY KETTLE OF FISH. Clerk of Court of Robeson County Charged With 311s management of Affairs of His Office. The Board of Audit and' Finance of Robertson County examined the office of the Clerk 0 the Court or that county a few days ago and re port that his office has been seriously mismanaged. They claim that his accounts are short and that he has used interest on other peoples' mon ey, and other discrepancies are also charged against the clerk. The clerk claims he had a right to make certain loans and that the Board of Audit and Finance have done him an injustice. Philadelphia Street Car Lines Tied Up By Strike. Philadelphia Pa., Feb. 20. Com ing suddenly when least expected, a strike was declared against the Phil adelphia Rapid Transit Company by the Amalgamated Railway employes at 1 o'clock this afternoon, and to night the policemen and firemen were busy handling turbulent crowds in several sections of the city. Two cars were burned, a score of cars were attacked, forcing their crews to abandon them, and numerous arrests were made. Except in the central part of the city, street-car service was almost at a standstill to-night. Cars running through the central section were heavily protected. The most serious disturbances were in Kensington, Philadelphia's great mill district in the northeast ern part of the city. Two cars in different parts of that district were attacked by boys and strike sympa thizers, compelling the crews to abandon the cars. The cars were wrecked and both were then set on fire. Another Sample of Democratic Good Government. Burlington State Dispatch. Charges and countercharges of greed, graft and wrong-doing are hurled thick and fast at some of the municipal officers of Greensboro these days. Who would have thought such a thing could have happened In the banner Democratic stronghold of North Carolina? .And yet they say that the Democrats are the only peo ple that can give good government. What rot. Worthily Bestowed. Winston Republican. The Republican notes with pleas ure very gratifying testimonials to Hon. Thos.

(Correspondence of The Caucasian Enterprise.) At the Pole. Feb. 12.. 1910. We air here at last! Grit, hard work an' perseverence hev won another great victory. An' this iz probably the greatest victory ov modern times. In my last letter 1 told you that I beleeved we wuz in less than a hundred miles ov the great geographical prize. Hit uz probably not over fifty or sixty miles, for we made hit In less than five days' travel after I closed my last letter to your paper. That wuz done, too, in the face ov the fact that I spent some time in dickerin with the compass after we got acrost the sea ice upon which we had bin traveiln' fer several weeks. We struck a small ridge soon after leavln the ice, an' while hit wuz covered with snow an' ice, az awl the earth an' sea iz in this section, an' wuz treeless. I felt sure that we had reached the northern coast ov the Arctic waters, probably at or quite near the point Dr. Cook claims to hev reached. The weather wuz extremely cold, but I noticed that the electric currents in the air wuz powerfully strong. Hit wuz near noon ov the Arctic day an' the slant ing rays ov the sun were struggling to get up a little heat fer "company" hit seemed. But the "Northern Lights" were apparently asleep, were not visible at any rate, so 1 could not earn anything from that. But 1 had a feelin' in my heart that we wuz mity close to the great prize. Leavln' the stock in care ov the Eskimo, who wuz watchin' my move ments like a hawk.I walked to the highest part or the small ridge an' set up my compass with cold nervous hands, fer I'll admit that I wuz mity anxious to settle the matter. After considerable effort I managed to fas ten the staff ov the compass in the ce. The needle at once began to act ike hit wuz wild. Hit danced aroun' and aroun', quivered like hit had a chill, then danced some more. But hit would not point to the North for more than a second or two at a time. The Eskimo had joined me by this time, an' az he hez picked up a few English words, he asked: "Found Pole?" I replied: "No; but hit Iz close by. We air on a powerful hot trail." though the idea ov a hot trail in this region, ov a hot anything, wuz an absurd word to use. Tellin' the Eskimo to watch the camp, though hit hardly needed much lookin' after. I picked up the compass, an' walked rapidly toward the North, goln prob ably a half a mile. I set the compass staff in the Ice again, an' hit behaved exactly az hit did before. But I could notis that hit jumped; that Iz, the needle, jumped faster than at first an' that put me to thlnkin' gude an' hard. Goin' still further North, some- thin' like another half mile, the com pass repeated the antics In a still more nervous manner. "Now I see hit" sez I to myself, "them scientlflck lads, with an' appetite fer quick hon ors, an' a lecturin contract in view. didn't wait to find the Pole hltself. North Pole finding' bein' a new thing they took too much fer granted and jumped at a lot or conclusions that mite hev. passed fer the real thing in some naborhoods. "The American people love to be humbugged." sed the late P. T. Barnum. And hit wuz an' iz true. But az a general thing that applies only to small matters. Some people would really enjoy the novelty ov havln their pockets pick ed at a circus or a fair, provided the pickpocket would not get over twenty or thirty cents. They'd laff about hit afterwards an' think hit a gude joke. not only on themselves, hut a joke on the pickpocket az well. But If the amount reach az many dollars or pos sibly several hundred dollars, they'd raze a howl rite. Just so with this pole business. Hit lz a big thing an' they want a thorough job done, or an honest failure, if the explorer falls to sight hit. Scientlflck talk wont satisfy 'em. Cook got around the whole business by goln' home an sayin that he found the Pole, but that they wns no Pole. He could hev climbed to the top or any or the thousands or little hills an ridges in North . Carolina an could her an nounced through the papers that he had found the Pole, or, found whar FOUR Boms MIUDERCD IS WOT. rtaiadeif&l fUrtkcr I'm pyaaaUte to fight Officer- May Oil Oat State MllitU.

According to a statement issued to night by the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company the amount of damage done to-day and the number of assaults committed by mobs was greater than on any previous day of the strike, although the territory covered by the cars of the company was considerably less. Two hundred and ninety-five cars were demolished, making a total of 750 cars which have been put out of service sine the beginning of the strike on last baturday. CAUXEG1E LAUDS ROOSEVELT.
