THE Democrat is pleased to note the organization in Hickory of a young men's civic associa tion, the purpose of which t( study questions of government. There were more than 35 persons present at the organization and they were encouraged by words of cheer from such men as M essrs. W. A. Self, W. H. Nicholson, J. D. Elliott and A. K. Joy. The personnel of the officers is guar antee that something will be do ing in Hickory by the young men in the early future. These offi cers are: W. .T. Shuford, presi dent; W. X. Reid, vice-president; W. I. Caldwell,, treasurer and Hugh D'Anna, secretary. Times have changed from. 50 years ago. The mayor and alder men cannot give the same at tention to public ■ business that tbey did then, for the reason that the struggle for bread—for the support of a family—is much more difficult than it was. New methods of town as well as State government are demanded. The young men of a town, taking a vigorous hold of such questions, may do much for its betterment. THE TARIFF A MORAL QUESTION. Miss IdaM. Tarbell writes in in the May American Magazine on "The Stand Pat Intellect." She regrets that so many people consider the tariff question a bore, and regard it with caieles? indifference. She truly says: It is still in in the minds of the many a theory, not a practice which takes a tighter and tighter grip on the daily life of every man, woman and child of us or dering what we may wear, what we may eat and how we shall bt sheltered and warmed. And not alone that, but ordering how we shall think, whether we shall at tack life with frankness or eva sion >„ "Nor is this all there is wrap ped up in the question of pro tecting as wdlaw* apnlying it. Deeper than the wrong it is do ing the poor, deeper than its warping of the intellect, is the question of the morals which underline its operations. Sim mered down to its final scene the tariff question as it stands in this country to-day is a question national morals." Yes it seems to us that the high protection that has built up the enormous multi-r»illionaire trusts-*-—o wty, is nothing less than the robbery of the poor to, make the rich and this i is immoral. THE Democrat has a number of copies of the act to provide for a Central State _ Highway, and if any • one desires a copy they may have it for the asking. Terrible Pictures of Suffering .

The very 2ommencement itself was cramp id by reason of the auditorium laving been utilized in part for recitation rooms. We have a fire superintendent and a fine set of a teachers but we are not giving the young idea enough elbow room in which to shoot. Real Estate Deals. Mr, Z. B. Buchanan has sold Mrs. 0. M. Royster's beautiful residence on 15 st. to Mr. Burt Hutton, consideration $7,500. He also sold her the old Dr. Baker property, owned by the 3aker heirs on the same street for $2,200. * • „ Also sold to Robert Shell 20 icres of-land just outside the.in ec deration limits, consideration Mr. Buchanan also recently sold his store property in Blow ing Rock. - J Ask the Traveling Man. The March number of the Watts' Official Railway Guide, Atlanta, Ga..is just inaugurating the twenty-sixth year of iis pub lication. The railway lines of the South are shown in a> clear and comprehensive form with miscellaneous information, and the most extensive Hotel Direc tory of the South, making it es pecially valuable to the traveling public and business office. Mr. J. R. Watts has well earned the success of his effort in presen ting the South the most complete sectional Guide extant. It is an indispensible hand book of infor mation well worth its price, 25c per copy, and only $2.00 per year. Lice, The Great Enemy of Poultry Written for the Democrat, I notice an article in the Pro gressive Farm 3r by Prof. J. G. Halfine, head of the poultry de partment of the College of Agri culture of University of Wiscon sin in which he says, "The losses by poultry raisers due to injury to the flock by lice is enormous." This is especially true in the case of the setting hen whose body furnishes an ideal place for the growth "of lice. ? An idea of the rapid reproduc tion of these pests can be-gamed from a recent experiment- whiah shows that in an eight weeks'" period one louse produced 25,000 lice. The physical vigor of lice, —in- fested hens is materially im paired; the hens are uneasy and restless and neglect their sitting. By far the greatest injury wrought- by the lice infested hens is their ready transmission of these pests to the tender chicks who are in a defenseless condition to resist the parasites. It is a good policy to thorough ly dust the hen with some good insect powder before giving her the eggs, then repeat this three pr four times while she is sitting. The last dusting should be about four days before hatching. A simple and effective insect powder can be prepared by using 8 parts gasoline, one part crude carbolic acid (strength 90 to 95 per cent) and stirring in suffici ent plaster of Paris or other fine powdery ingredient until a thick, moist mixture is found. Spread out this mass on a cloth or paper in a rather warm room to allow the surplus gasoline tc evaporate. At the end of 24 hours the powder is ready for use. Anotb er excellent dusting powder car be made by running refuse to Wfux.sl£ms_th rough the feed j mill and using lL ! dust them with. This is a wonderful article, I think, and makes us poultry raisers realize what an awful pest the lice are to our chickens, and I know it will' make us all work harder to rid the chicks of I them. I use "Black Flag" entirely and it has pr* very satisfac tory. I K*y it by the pound and keep & J h air-tight bottle's, ami my hens at least three times while they are sitting. It is much cheaper by the pound, and I believe purer. EDGAR D. YODER. How's This? We offered One Hundred Dollar Reward for any case of Catarrh that can not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure J.

Washington, May 2—President Taft is still fighting progressive republicans. He first endeavor ed to smother progressiveism by refusing patronage- to .members of Congress who would not Vote for bills recommended by him whether they thought them to be for the public good or not. This movement failed utterly. Insur gency increased instead of disap pearing. Then the President used all the influences at his command to bring about the de-; feat of Senator LaFollette m Wisconsin. LaFollette was re elected by a larger vote than ever. Now the President is taking the leading part in the fight against giving the progressives of the senate the committee places they demand. Inasmuch as the Pres ident's former efforts caused two progressives to grow-wjiere but one had grown before, the pro gressives can afford to be pa tient. RECIPROCITY ACT IMPROVED I Practically the only change made in the Canadian reciprocity agreement by the Democrats 'Jin. the House, when they passed' ft, was the addition of a clause authorizing the President, bv executive act, to reduce the tariff of this country, on any item, whether included in the treaty or not, whenever Canada is will ing to put them on her free list- In other words we express a willingness to move toward frfe trade with Canada as fast is Canada may desire. This inritj tion applies only to Canada, how ever, and the object is the pro motion of the friendliest possible commercial intercourses between the United States and our neigh bor on the north. INCOME TAX 18 CLOSE The income tax amendment |o the constitution, which was a plank in the last democratic n«» tional platform, has now ratified by thirty states. To ip sure its acceptance states are necessary. Only four states Louisiana, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and West Virginia have declared themselves in tfce negative. This leaves twelve states from which to secure tu necessary five votes to make the amendment a part of the con stitution. An income tax is practically assured. AGE NO BAR.

In the account, in the May Mc- Gure's, of Maria Montessori, the Italian woman who has made such revolutionary changes in the modern system o£ one of her basic rules—that of abstinence from correction—is explained as follows? Why correct the child? • If she does not succeed in associat ing the name with the object, the only way of malting her succeed is to repeat at once the action of sensorial stimulus, and the word to be associated with it; that is, to repeat the lesson. But the fact of the child having made the mistake implies that at that mo ment she is not disposed to the psychic association which you de sire to provoke in her; hence iti» best to.choose another moment." "In Maria Montessori's view, all education worth having is auto-educhtion. One of the dif ficulties experienced in the tra n in&pf teachers isthat of prevent ing them from rushing,to the aid of a child who appears to be em barrassed and puzzled in one of his little employments. Their tendency is to say, "Poor little mite!" .and help him out; there by depriving the child at once of the joy and the education of overcoming an obstacle."
