In this connection, however, we feel that as a staunch friend of the University we can and should say by Hon. Woodrow Wilson ln this case. ; We were also mindful of the fact that several years ago, what seemed to be pronounced Wall Street Influ ences were advocating Mr. Wilson for the Presidency, while at the present time Mr. Wilson seems to be playing to the galleries on the line of Mr. Bryan's former campaign. With this condition of affairs, of course, no one but himself, unless others have been taken into his con fidence, can know just what position he would occupy as President if he should be elected. At any rate is to be very much regretted that a partisan political speceh was made at the State University. THE SOUTH AND WEST SEEING DANGER OF DEMOCRATIC POI ICIES. In another column we publish an editorial clipped from the last Issue of Harper's Weekly, headed "Warn-, Ing From the South." This editorial comments upon an editorial in the Manufacturers' Record showing that the farmers and manufacturers of the South are getting their eyes opened as to the possible dangerous influence of the Democratic policies as now be ing advocated in Congress. ! 1 In this connection, we desire also to call attention to a significant inter-' view published in .another column from Senator Hemenway, of Illinois, to the same effect. Indiana is as much an agricultural State as is North Carolina, and it would seem' that the people of that State have been deceived and are being aroused to the danger of Democratic policies as are the people of the whole South. 1 server: "To the Editor of The Observer: "There are about seven thou sand men and women teachers In North Carolina, who have been using the uniform text books in actual practice, and yet there were none of them consid ered fit to sit with the politicians to determine what books are to be used in the schools for the next five years. "This contract, involving sev eral million dollars and decree ing what books shall be used in the common schools to the ex clusion of all others, is to be settled by six State officials, one university professor, four county superintendents and one city su perintendent, and the actual teachers who have used the books and will continue to use them will have nothing to do with it. "The law says that the sub commission of six members is to 'be selected from among the teachers or county superinten dents and it is presumed that 'teachers was intended to mean the teachers of the books under discussion, but for some reason the two-headed appointive pow er consisting of the Governor and State Superintendent, could find no fit teacher, and so went beyond the law and selected a city superintendent in spite of the State Superintendent's decla ration to the city superinten dents in January that 'if you ex clude the city schools from this adoption, you shall not be rep resented on the sub-commission.' "For ten years the uniform text-books have been an obstacle in the path of progress, and there seems no reason to .hope for any Improvement this time. Some day the public may awaken to the importance of this thing and have it placed on a common sense business basis, and it is to be hoped that the awakening will come soon. "BRUCE CRAVEN.

Mrs. Ida Hill, of Lexington, Meets an Awful Fate WMIe on a Visit at Jametsown No Trace of the Mur derer. v A special from High Point to Fri day's Charlotte Observer gives the following account of an awful trag edy at High Point: "One of the most horrible murders ever perpetrated in this community took place early this morning, at the residence of J. S. Ragsdale, at old Jamestown, where Mrs. Ida Hill, widow of the late Dr. Joel Hill, of Lexington, was choked to death In her bed-room, on the second story, by some unknown party or parties. Gagged and Bound. "At about 7, a. m., Mrs. Ragsdale and her daughter, Miss Jennie, car ried some clean linen to Mrs. Hill's room, and it was then that they found the body lying at the foot of the iron bed with the head tied to a foot-post with a valise strap, while the buckle end of the strap was tightly drawn in a hoop around the woman's neck. In her mouth was stuffed her own black stocking and a burglar's black mask. With the oth er valise strap her hands were fas tened securely to her body. Anoth er stocking was also securely around her neck. "The murder must) have taken place towards mxrning, as the body was yet warm when discovered. "Evidently the object of the mur derer was burglary, as some silver plate and other valuables were found tied up in a napkin In the dining room. "At the side of the house, near the end of the porch, a chair was found from which some one pulled himself up to the porch roof below the sec ond story window, from which ac cess was had to Mrs. Hill's bed room. This was indicated by the torn condition of a creeping vine along the post where the chair was standing. "Not a sound or noise of as trug- gle was heard by any one in the WHO IS THE TRUST SENATOR? The Burlington State Dispatch, in an editorial, says: "It Is said that if the recipro city treaty with Canada is de- j feated, that it can he charged to j the paper and lumber trusts.

In the Manufactuers Record, of,' Baltimore, Richard H. Edmonds gounds a note of warning to Chair man Underwood, of the Ways and Means Committee, and the other Democrat of each branch of Con gress who are making sweeping as saults on the protective system. "The Introduction of a tariff bill put ting on the free list many produtcs of the South once more Illustrates that the South' worst enemes are. often to be found among Its own public men. In tmes past the ma terial development of this section has been seriously halted by the un wisdom of the agitation of men of the South rather by injury done by outsiders." The Manufactuers' Record is a non-partisan publicaeion, Mr. Ed monds, its editor, is a close student of industrial conditions throughout the country, but especially in the South. In the article from which we quote he adds, "Every business in terest in the South the lumber peo ple, the iron and coal Interests, the mica interests, merchants, farmers and laborers alike is vitally con cerned n a fair measure of protec tion to every industry in the South." Every word here used applies to the North and West also. The protective policy Is national, not sectional. It aims to aid every important industry which needs any custom-house defense, regard less altogether of the region in which it exists. Under this system the United States has prospered to a de gree unparalleled by any other coun try in the world. And the prosperi ty has recognized no particular lines of latitude or longitude. It has cov ered South, North, West anl East. Mr. Edmonds sees this truth and talks plainly. He asks Chairman Underwood and other Southern men who are attacking the tariff along the whole line if they want to see the country go back to the starvation days of 1893-96. The assault on the tariff, perpetrated and projected, is much more extended in 1911 than it was in the Wilson-Gorman act passed in 1894. The Canadian re ciprocity and the so-called farmers' free list bills, already passed by the House, and the attackss on the woolen, cotton and other schedules which are being framed are very radical measures of legslatlon and account for the halt In industry when the country now sees. The ac tion of the Democratic House and the threats of the Democrats in the Senate promises to make Republi can victory in 1912 along the whole line certain" and overwhelming.

Caaey, of I-ans Chapel, whose husband, Burrill Casey, wa arrested In thl city several hour previous on a war rant charging hm with poisoning Mr. Joseph Whitty. of that place, wa placed under arrest by Chief of Po lice Rouse, of Dover, and Monday nght was brought to thl city and placed in Craven County jail.

The arrest of these two peo ple was the conclusion of a aeries of investigations that had been going on for the past year. After Mr. Joseph Whitty ' death, which occurred so suddenly a little more than a year ago, several of his relatives began a quiet Investigation.

Now, if those who desire copies of the speech in pamphlet forn 2 write us to that effect, stating how many copies are desired, we will war- tain what the speech can be published for in pamphlet form, and r2 then furnish the speech to each person who has applied for cop! actual cost. Of course, the larger the number of copies that are oritrtL the less will be the cost per copy.

Therefore, we suggest that every one who desires copies of Uj speech should at once send to us an order for the number of copies sired, and as soon as we have received orders for ftve thousand co?A or possibly a less number, we will be able to announce the cost of speech per copy or per one hundred copies, and will also be able to i nounce when they will be ready for delivery.
