The Caucasian CAUCASUS FUBUSSHG COISPAST I 0 Tea. r XeTS TSAS Kojrr-K. .... liae SOLTIIKILV hOLIHKIW AM PEN KIO.NS. We are priating elsewhere In thU Issue a communication by Jg Walter Clark, which appeared la a recent issue of the NV5i and Obr rer, on the dUcrlm nation by the Democratic politician! against the Confederate soldier In the matter of penaloni. Judge Clark polnU out that the South ha paid since the war one thousand and five hundred million dollars to penalon Federal soldiers, of bleh one hundred and twelve mil lion dollar has been paid by North Carolina, and that of this enormous war contribution very little ha8 come back to the South, He points out the fact that Itansorn, Simmons' nor any of the Democratic represen tatives In Congress have ever tried to secure a pension for the Confed erate veterans when thf pork ban el was opened for the Fed veterans, lie says that the Democratic poli ticians fear that If they ask for a pension for the Confederate veterans that it may jeopardize their chances of getting the Presidency and the of fices appurtenant thereto. All of which shows that the Democrats arewnile Champ Clark will meet with willing to sacrifice tbe Confcderato strong opposition at the hands of ex soldiers on the political altar in or- Governor Folk and his friends. And der that the politicians may r,et a f meta of potUge. It will be remembered Lhat while Mr. Butler was in the United States Senate that he introduced a bill pro viding that the National Government should pay a pension to the Confed- erato soldiers as well as to the Union soldiers, but the Democratic poll-. ticlans in Congress from the South, and many who were not in Congress, made themselves very busy in fighting j the measure, claiming that the Con federate soldiers as a class did not want the pensions, which every one knows is not true. When the Sher-, wood pension bill passed the House some days ago the Democrats had a good opportunity to ask for a pen sion for the Confederate soldier also, but not a one of them raised a voice In behalf of the Confederate veteran. Congressman Gudger from this State voted to Increase the pension of the Union soldiers, and yesterday he was quoted as saying that he favored a pension for Confederate soldiers also. If, he favored a pension for the Southern veteran, why didn't he of fer such an amendment to the Sher wood bill and then make a speech in sisting that the Confederate veteran be given justice, but instead be kept his mouth shut except to vote for the enormous increase in the Federal pensions when his name was called. If the Democratic politicians love the Confederate veterans as they claim they do. especially during cam paigns, tLey certainly have a poor way of demonstrating their love. THE CASE OP "GUILFORD CHRISTMAS." Recently an old negro named Guil ford Christmas died at Fayetteville, and the Democratic press has inform ed the State that much respect and .homage was paid him at his funeral, Pleading white men acting as pall-) bearers and many flowers being I placed over his grave, etc. All of the Democratic press referred to this negro as a good old darkey. The Hickory Times-Mercury, com menting upon these articles In the Democratic press, calls attention to the fact that it was this same Gull ford Christmas (colored) who was elected assistant door-keeper to the Legislature ''of 1872-1873, having been nominated for that position by & Democratic caucus which control ed the Legislature. This, of course, explains everything. WHY NOT TEACH THE OONSTITU- TION?

The Saturday Evening Post, in an editorial in its last issue on good roads, points to the great success that has been made under rhat Is called the "county system" of good roads In the State of Michigan, and the bad results that have occurred In the same State from what is known as the "township system." The part of the editorial referred to is as fol- lows "Thirty-seven counties in Mi chigan have adopted the county road system. A county tax is levied and three commissioners are elected to expend the money thus collected upon permanent improvement of the main-traveled highways. For every mile of macadam road thus built the State pays to the county a re ward of a thousand dollars, and five hundred dollars for each mile of gravel road. Thus if a county builds ten miles of good roads the State presents it with enough money to build approxi mately two and a half miles more. "Other counties of the State re tain the township system, by which each little locality at tempts to look after its own roads. Estimates show that of all the money spent last year un der the township system about 75 per cent went for merely patching up poor dirt roads, so tt uaVa hom mAra y passable for some months long er, when the same amount will have to be expended over again for more patching; while of the money expended under the coun ty system 90 per cent went to make permanent roads that can be kept in good condition at comparatively small expense. The patching-up plan would bankrupt any railroad in a few years. There is, a lesson in the above that every friend of good roads should consider. " "In the case of Charles Mur phy, sentenced to electrocution In McDowell County for the mur der of John Simmons, the Su preme Court makes an import ant ruling by stating in the granting of a new trial that 'a person who kills another when so drunk as not to be able to plan and deliberate is not guilty of murder in the first degree." Union Republican. Possibly Murphy claimed the whis key was used in the case of a snake bite. But as a matter of fact, don't some criminals tone up on whiskey when they want to nerve themselves up. to commit a crime? Oscar W. . Underwood.

If these keep on going up, and the bosses keep on appointing officers to get this increase of taxes, soon ten tax-payers will be taxe.d to keep one fellow In a soft, easy job. This is as big a steal as the pension steal, and stolen, too, from those less able to bear the steal. Hickory Mercury. State Treasurer B. R. Lacy is call ing upon the sheriff of the State to settle as early as possible or the State Treasury will be greatly em barrassed. But such, a condition is nothing new. A busted State treas ury is a common occurrence in these days of Democratic good govern ment. When the last Legislature met, it will be remembered that Gov- ernor Kitchln called special attention to a $350,000 deficit which was duly attended to by the "equalization" or tax-raising process. Union. Repub lican. It might be news to many to know that there is being mailed from the the office of the State Department of Labor and Printing at Raleigh, N. C, to all the manufacturing plants In the State copies of the State labor law as amended at the last session of the Legislature and effective Jan uary 1, 1912. This amendment re duces the hours of labor from sixty six a week to sixty a week. Other wise the labor law of the State is the same that has been in force since the 1907 session of the Legislature.

A character may be strong, and even noble and grand, when its chief element Is duty, the loyalty of the will to conscience, but in order that It may be beautiful, It must have both freedom and feeling; it must have sympathy and spontaneousness. The virtue of Jesus was always beau tiful. It was not hard for Him to be good, and His goodness was never hard. His truth. His purity, His for titude, His Justice, were all filled with love. His royalty was humility. His moral strength was also human ten derness. He did not crush the bruised reed. His supreme goodness was ideal loveliness. f To be clothed upon with His beau ty is greatly to be desired. Chris tians should not be content to be un lovely. No pruning away of infirm ities can make us spiritually beauti ful. No moral gymnastics can make our goodness graceful. The essential thing Is that the loveliness of Christ be created within us by His Spirit; then something of His beauty will appear in our lives. The raiment of holiness Is like that of flowers. In order to its being put on, it must first be within. Then it develops In to manifestation. Sanctimoniousness is a very crude counterfeit of spirit ual beauty. No formal obedience can copy its grace. No moral cosmetics can confer its charm. It is the manifestation of abundant spiritual health. It Is the fruit of the Spirit, "love, Joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance." It is the result of be ing "rooted and grounded In love," of being "filled with all the fullness of God." Northwestern Christian Advocate.
