!n u litter rfi-eivrd veMrday from
one of our ritiren rej.'onlinif oawdy
bosses in KinHtoi), the author say:
The riti. us of Klntiton should not
bo considered Us favorlne the exist
i ence of such yomij.' hells of corruption
I an those houses.
j I think I could prove that bawdy
' houses have heen as ie;it sources of
! the corruption of our yountr men us
! the bur-room wi re and should be
: treated In like manner.
Those are forcible words; but they
are not one hil more forcible than
the circumstances of the case demand.
Klnston has no room for these hous
es within her limits. And our com
munity cannot afford to be held upas
harboring places within its bounds that
are under the ban of the common law.
Vice should not be allowed to Haunt
itself In the face of respectability.
DOLLAR WHEAT.
We note that a number of Wilson
county furmers are butinif seed wheat
with the intention of raising their own
breadstuff next year.
This movement presents a serious
question for the consideration of our
farmers. Is it not better for them to
raise a small amount of wheat than to
depend on the western fields for the
bread that they needy Dollar wheat
doesn't make cheap Hour to the mnn
who has to buy it. A wheat crop does
not take much labor, if it is managed
properly. And it would save thous
ands of dollars to this country if it
would produce its own bread-stuffs.
Right now is the time for our farm
ers to tiike up thi.s subject and make a
decision.
The Russians at Vladivostok are
paying ten dollars a ton for coal. The
Japanese now hold the Mancharian
coul mines formerly operated by the
Russians, and this counts for much in
the great struggle that is in progress

Newport News, Va., July 22. iqor
Last summer while recoverine from ill
news of fever. I had a severe attack of
Inflammatory Rheumatism in the knees,
from which I was unable to leave my
room for several months. I was treated
by two doctors and also tried different
kinds of linainents and medicines which
seemed to relieve me from pain for
awhile, but at the same time I was not
anv nearer yetting well. One dav while
reading a paper I saw an advertisement
of S. S. S. tor Kiieumatistn. I decided
to give it a trial, which I did at once.
After I had taken three bottles I felt 1
great deal better, and I still continued
to take it regularly until I was entirely
cured. I now feel better than for years,
and I cheerfully recommend 8. S. S. to
anyone suffering from Rheumatism.

THE DEATH OF BACON.
it
THE PEOPLE PAY THE BILLS.
The latest outrage that the adminis
tration is guilty of is that seven hun
dred dollar piece of campaign litera
ture sent out last Sunday from Wash
ington. It is not wrong for the Re
publicans to issue seven hundred dol
lar documents if they can afford it.
But it is wrontr, absolutely, for them
to issue such a document at the ex
pense of tho American people.
The case is this. At his Esodus
home Judge Parker the other day made
some cutting criticism of the American
regime in the Philippines. Secretary
Taft cabled an inquiry to Governor
Wright covering the case In dispute
and Gov. Wright replied with a little
over 1,100 words. This at a cost of 52
cents a word would net the neat littls
sum of something like $700. Immedi
ately the whole correspondence was
given to the public as campaign mat
ter. Did this campaign reading matter
come through the Republican national
committee? Not much. The govern
ment paid for it, and the truth Is that
under the present Washington regime
the federal government has become an
annex to the Republican national com
mittee. But this is not the first time that the
government has coma up to the assist
ance of the Republican party. The de
partment of commerce and labor has
been issuing campaign documents ever
since it has been organized.
And the people pay the bill.
Here, by the way is the Washington
Post's comment on the Wright cable
gram:
Governor Luke Wright's somewhat
expensive telegram from Manila to
Washington will hardly be accepted
by the thoughtful as more than an ac
knowledgment of the necessity for an
explanation. It tells us nothing new.
It is. In fact, a mere repetition with
denials cnaogei or amplified to meet
the immediate emergency of the assur
ances which in times past have reached
; as from a similar source. -
We have come to believe that the
army uuioors, woo re in contact wilo
the real conditions, know more about
them than the civil officials who sit
safely in the caplUl and get their eon
. vlctlons frora hearsay from interest
ed sources, to put, it In plain words.
All this may be a mistake, though the
records does not warrant that conclu
sion. If so, the government must
thank its own system for the result.
But, as thin? stand, the country,
while it may give to Governor Luke
Wright te utmost confidence in his
personal Integrity, will Dot jump to
the conclusion that he knows the facts
of the case, and that his inferences are
ileal.
