'One fact stands out in the contro versy between Governor Kitchin and thn v. , , , . tbe News and Observer and Messrs Lockhart and Mise'nheimer, and that is, that not a single trust has been hurt by the alleged anti-trust law enacted by the Legislature of 1909, which Governor Kitchin defended in his speech at Spray in the last cam paign. If there was any merit in the law, surely Solicitor Graves or Solici tor Gattis, whose districts embrace the bright tobacco belt, would have invoked its provisions against the to bacco trust ere this." It will take a lot of explaining to nullify the force of that argument Webster's Weekly. Very little else remains to be said on Democracy in this State and the trusts. Much was promised and noth ing done. An anti-trust law was pass ed which Governor Kitchin said would "catch 'em" going and coming, yet not an indictment has been made and the only relief the people obtain ed was through the Republican ad ministration and the Federal Courts. The people in North Carolina are about surfeited with Democratic promises. One thing has been done, and that is, the valuation of property has been increased so as to "raise more revenue" to meet the waste and extravagance of that party in the ad ministration of State affairs. It is but a beginning. Who can tell where it will end if the Democratic party is continued in power? Union Republi can. - MILL MEN PROTEST. Prominent Democratic 31111 Man Says Democratic Cotton Tariff Schedule Would Turn Cotton Mills Into Soup Houses. (Charlotte Evening Chronicle. Thurs day, July 27th.) R. M. Miller, Jr. (Dem.), chair man of the Tariff Committee of the American Cotton Manufacturers As sociation, when called upon to-day for an expression of opinion on the proposed reduction in the cotton ta riff schedule, said: "The so-called Underwood bill on the revision of the cotton tariff sched ule is a bill formed apparently solely in the interest of the importer and foreigner wholly unfair and unjust to us ignoring entirely the interest of the American cotton manufacturer and the American laborer, and if en acted into law will 'turn cotton mills of our country into soup houses. "Based upon to-day's prices of cot ton yarns as best that I can figure, in order that the manufacturers of this country may meet the reductions in the proposed schedule and to compete with imported yarns, it will necessi tate a cut somewhere from 5 to 50 per cent in the wages of our cotton mill operatives. This means pauper wages to our laborers to meet the pauper wages of Europe. Will Amer ican labor stand for it? The Ameri can cotton manufacturers protest against it." But before this government was af flicted with a Democratic House the people couldn't raise cotton, corn nor any other farm products enough to reduce the price, but when the Demo crats get in their deadly work prices fall flat and the country is ruined.

Underwear and Knitivides that in case of an increase in Goods Manufacturers of the IT. S. Gentlemen: You doubtless have ton schedule just presented to the House and passed by them. The! rates on hosiery and underwear are simply destructive and I venture todum laws wherever they have been 1 redict the close-down of every mill in the United-States just as quick as the German manufacturer can make enougn goods to ship in here, which j or constitutional amendments: Ore will be but a very short time. Thisigon. Oklahoma, Nevada, Missouri, throws our mills at the mercy of the pauper labor of Germany. It destroys our indusry and it destroys our PrPerty. We have a possible chance of giv ing these facts to the members of the Senate and let them reflect a little bit before passing this bill. The aichances ars that the insurgent Re- publicans and the Democratic mem bers of the Senate have formed a coalition for putting through these tariy bills. Politics is being played at the expense of business and the prosperity of the country ahd we manufacturers are the goat! We fared better in the cotton schedule than in any other line of goods, but even at that the rates that were inaugurated would absolutely annihilate our business. A reduction from 85c. a dozen to 40c. a dozen is so out of the question that you can readily understand where we would be under this sort of a tariff ruling inside of a few months. Therefore, I will kindly ask you immediately upon receipt of this let ter to wire the two Senators from your State and any other Senators whom you know and especially the Democratic Senators, informing them that the present rates in the Under wood bill would absolutely destroy the hosiery and underwear industry. These telegrams want to get into the hands of the Senators by Friday, if possible or as soon thereafter as you can possibly do so. Tbe appeal Is especially made to our Southern knitters and underwear manufacturers as, of course, the ma jority of the Democratic Senators come from the South. Don't delay and don't leave this for somebody else to do, but send as long a tele gram as you possibly can to your Senators and make It as forcible, and follow it with letters. Get your stockholders to write let ters and send telegrams urging them not to pass such a schedule as the present Underwood bill carries. Get busy. Yours very truly, GARNETT ANDREWS, President. STATEHOOD BILL PASSES. New Mexico and Arizona Admitted to Statehood With Certain Provisos. Washington, D. C, Aug. 8. The New Mexico-Arizona Statehood bill was passed by the Senate to-day 53 to 18.

These States have adopted the in j itiative and referendum in the form Montana, South Dakota, Colorado, I Arkansas, and Maine. Utah has adopted a similar amendment, but the provision is noperatve because of falure of the Legislature to enact the necessary accompanying legislation. Besides these in the following States, such an amendment has been sub mitted by the Legislatures but has not yet been voted upon California, WTashngton, Wyoming, North Dakota, Nebraska, Florida, and Idaho. This amendment was agreed to by a strict party vote, 39 to 28, the Re publican Senators voting for it and the Democrats against it. The other amendments adopted prescribed that "candidates for Rep- resentatives-at-large shall be nomi nated in the same manner as candi dates for Governor unless otherwise provided by the laws of such State." In some States the representation Is increased by this bll, but through constitutional limitation or other cause their Legislatures cannot di vide the State into districts. The House bill provided for an election in such case, but not for a nomina tion and the second Burton amend ment is designed to meet that emer gency. THE ESKIMO FUNERAL. The Old Custom of Leaving Bodies to Prey of Wild Beast May Be Abolished Deceased Forgotten Af ter Funeral. (New York Evening Times.) A pile of bare bones bleaching on a frozen Northern hill which nature tries her best to conceal, In summer with a growth of rich-hued Arctic owers and in winter with a winding sneet or snow this till now has marked the burial place of the Alas kan Eskimo. From the Cape of Prince Wales to the last outpost of man nearest the pole, virtually every ridge and head-land In that country Is a Golgotha, a place of skulls. Now this heartless custom of preying ani mals decreed by nature, too, Is perhaps soon to pass. BishoD P. T. Rowe, of the Episcopal Church, re cently ordered the skulls and jbones1 of some 1,000 Eskimos, dead long ago, to De collected vand interred In the church's burial ground at Point ttope, and the white men will try to teach the natives other practices. Travelers In the Arctic regions say mai notmng so Impresses them as mew eiru ever-present piles of wnitened skulls. Some have lain for centuries on their beds of moss, their nonow eyes looking toward the Polar stars; and they crumble like chalk into oust at the touch. When we explained, the Eskimos practice In this matter seems reason able enough, in winter the digging wi grave is impossible; and even In mid-summer the ground beneath the covering of vegetation Is frozen hard Through this the Eskimos' tools can not cut. Moreover, the thought that a dead comrade might be in Icy wa ter in his grave Is unbearable to a native. So, In reality, the old social kindliness of North is back of the cus n.01 disPsition of the dead. . The funeral of an Eskimo is a cere- fndnyHnf J0 mougs and long and hilarious jubilation, always in cludhig a dog race. As-with other Primitive peoples, the Eskimos arei lf?n in th6ir and.their grief is short-lived. Soon after death ee tbe uf, fr. Haap at4 all t .
