TRADES rfjgy COUNCO - .. YESTERDAY'S CIRCULATION, 0,01)3. NORTH CAROLINA BOOKLET. The current issue of the North Carolina Booklet, published quarter ly by The North Carolina Society of the Daughters of the Revolution is an exceptionally interesting number. It is given over almost entirely to a discussion of the Mecklenburg Decla ration of Independence, Mr. A. S. Salley, Jr., presenting the facts and arguments against the declaration, and Mr. Bruce Craven evidences and argument in support of it. Their con tributions are in the nature of a de bate, Mr. Salley presenting Ins side of the case and Mr. Craven replying;. Mr. Salley replying to Mr, Craven's reply and the latter having a soconil rejoinder. Anything like a sum mary of the facts and arguments ad vanced by each is impossible here, as both have covered the ground very fully and their contributions, while not long in the sense in which the term is usually applied to such pro ductions, contain a mass of support ing and non-supporting testimony in regard to the declaration. Mr. Sal ley, as one of the "doubters" makes out a strong case for his side, the strongest perhaps that could be made by anyone who sets out, deliberately to prove that an established historical incident did not occur. But after one has finished reading his article he is by no means convinced that the last . word has been said as there are many vulnerable places in it, even to thej casual reader. To the criticical mind of Mr. Craven, well stored with all the data bearing on the matter, these discrepancies of Mr,. Salley's article are only too evident and when one has finished reading his article he feels that the last word has been said and he can lay down the book with the feeling that the story has been well told and that there is nothing more to be added and no room to doubt the authenticity of the decla ration. Secretary of War Wright is dis pleased over the way automobiles be longing to liis department, and sup nosed to be used in the conduct of public business only, are being used by Washington ladies, belonging to the families of officers, in making their social eg". b, going to pink teas and other sociil functions. So dis pleased is he that al! the automo biles belonging to his department will be either sold or sent to points where they will be used for the purposes intended. It is said that it had be come quite a common thing for the officers to secure the machines under the guise of official business for the private use of their, families. The secretary doesn't like It and the autos must go. A great . problem with all the churches is to get people to attend the prayer-meeting, but it has re mained for a Missouri preacher to hit . upon a plan that promises to be suc cessful, at least insofar as getting the people out Is concerned. He believes that religion and a full stomach are closely akin, indeed, that a hungry man cannot get religion, and so he has Instituted a meal attachment to bis mid-week prayer-meetings. He Invites, all the members of the con gregation to bring their lunch bas kets with them to the ' services and spend he evening la feastingf, yjslt Ing and praying. The; repefif iays there has been a considerable1'' in crease In the attendance "$M ; the reader is left to draw his own con clusions as to whether the Increase in attendance has been followed, or ac companied by any Increase In relig ious seal. Congressman William Willett, Jr., of Far Rockaway, comes in for some more criticism, He made a speech ... and told some stories before the -' Queens County Bar Association ban quet In New York Saturday night and was roundly hissed, notwithstanding SUBSCRIPTION BATES: (In Adrance) By Mall or Carrier.

C, postofflc'e as' mail matter of the second class, In accordance with the Act of Congreaa, March 8. 1879. he was a guest of the association and speaking by invitation. His stories were classed as "rotten" and withofit any "point." Willett says the trouble came about because he was the last on the program and the men were not only tired of speech-making but filled with wine. But the criticisms went home and so he announces that he is not going to make any more -banquet speeches, and especially will he not fill the last place on the program again. It seems that the New York congressman is getting irritated over the abundant criticisms that have been coming his way recently. The authenticity'., of the alleged Cleveland letter, given to the public by Broug'hton Brandenburg, received another knock 'yesterday when Bran denburg failed to appear when the case '.against him for forgery 'was called, thereby forfeiting $l,r00. If the story as told by Brandenburg were true and the Cleveland letter j genuine, ho would have been glad of the opportunity to appear in court about the matter and his' failure to do so, leaving his bondsmen in the lurch, confirms the very general im pression that the Cleveland letter, of which so much was made by the re publicans during the campaign was a fraud pure and simple. The government receives as duty on' smoking opium $900,000 a year, the tax on the drug being six dollars a pound. The lawmakers are now trying to pass a law prohiibting the importation of the drug, or making the tariff on it fl6 high tiiat M wilt be prohibitive and such a bill passed the house yesterday. That circus man of Bridgeport, Conn., who offered Mr. Roosevelt $300,000 to do a Rough Rider stunt in connection with the Circus has a splendid idea of that gentleman's capabilities if not a very high one as to his dignity. Wonder what Norman Mack knows about the alleged libels printed in the New York World! He has been sum moned to appear before the grand jury in New York City today in con nection with the case, ': . PRESS COMMENT The Oregon Problem. The senatorial contest In Oregon has now taken on u new and very Interest ing phase. The election of Chamber loin, a democrat, by a republican leg islature was counted a notable exam ple of men making sacrifice of their political preferences to uphold a state law, hut a question has now arisen, which may end in a decision that the Oregon primary enactment, under which the novel result was attained, is unconstitutional. The primary law provided that the successful senatorial candidate should be chosen by j!he legislature; in other words, It was an election by the people. Chamberlain, the democrat, was, successful, but a republican legislature was chosen and that body, though urged by some par ty leaders to ignore the primary pro- Scott's Emulsion does all it does by virtue of one thing Power its power to create power. As fire turns water to steam so Scott's Emulsion transforms thin, impure blood into pure, rich blood, giving nourishment and vital energy to every organ, every tissue and every muscle.

' Now arises th contention, and there set-ma 10 De gooa grouna ior u, mai.one dreaded, dlseas that science has me rcunai i-vintiiuumi a legislature shall "choose" United States senators. In this case, contest- ants argue, that the republicans of the Oregon body did not exorcise any lndi - vidual choice, but voted in accord with the primary law provision. As many of the states are testing primary laws like that of Oregon, this point be comes one of supreme importance and the senate's action in the Oregon case will be watched with interest. Balti more American. -. ' --. ? A Trivial Incident. It-is-now up to the Japanese- in Cal ifornia to exercise that same modera tion in feeling and action which has been Invoked in their behalf from the white people of that state. -That a Japanese student 'was the victim of rough treatment at the hands of some of his fellow students at the universi ty Is but a trivial Incident as a furth er weapon to embarrass the relations .that officially exist between this gov ernment and their own will follow a course more dignified and more patri otic if they ignore it. At its worst, the assault upon the Japanese by California students is no thing more than' one-of those idiotic bits of undergraduate misbehaviour which bus no significance, beyond ex pressing the liullyism of the partici pants. The same thing might have happened to a Brazilian-student, .or 'a Hindu, a Russian or a Turk, or even tn any of the collegians' American associates whom they did not like. Be sides. It would seem that the offending students had tome provcatton for' the ault. They were talking ov-r the Japanese situation among .themselves. as they had a perfect light to do. But curiosity got the better of the young Japanese. and he essayed to overhear their eon v-rsat 'on. As lie had imt been invited to do this, but had invited hitn iilf. lie had only himself to blame after -all lor the consequences of his Indiscretion. College boys, like n!i. men, dislike the' eavesdropper.'. It W is not unnatural .that they should resent h's attempt to play, the spy, however foolish their means of retaliation. Thin view of the matter Is bound to be -upheld by the people of California, and possibly by the government also, if the case he brought to its attention. At no time would it be w':e to magni fy such a trivial incident, but at the present time it would be especially in judicious, let the injured student in voke the aid of the law aga 'list his as sailants, if he be of that mind, but the whole incident should be allowed to an-, no -higher than a justice's court. Washington Post. .An Unwise Measure. ' The legislature has regard to the wishes of the people in the tobacco growing counties of the state, what is called the anti-trust bill pending be fore that body will not become a law. The Reflector is not in sympathy with trusts or trust methods, but we can see no sense in crippling every tobac co farmer.' in North Carolina Just to give a l'ttle annoyance, to the Ameri can Tobacco Company. To forbid that company buying tobacco in this state would be only to give it temporary in convenience, for It could go right on buying in other states, and continue selling its manufactured product in North Carolina as it pleased, which under the interstate law could not be prevented; but sit the same time the North Carolina tobacco farmers will be deprived of an adequate tobacco market for their product, hence would be forced to largely abandon growing it. The American Tobacco Company could go on doing business without North Carolina tobacco, so if they arc forced out of the state the tobacco farmers and the towns largely sup ported by tobacco markets would be the greatest sufferers. Greenville Re flector. :- ! Two Centralize rs. is Mr. Roosevelt's term draws to a close be sees ,.r. Harrimun, whom he claped with himself as "practical," In partial or complete control of fen great railway systems, aggregating 77.000, or more than one-third of the total railway mileage' of . the"-United States. That Mr. Harriman's grip on the railways of the country has been strengthened during the seven years of the Roosevelt administration Is a plain fact of history. He secured a ruling handln the Erie only last spring. The Roosevelt panic enabled him the pre ceding fall to capture the Georgia Cen tral. Now he Is one of the powerful influences in the New York Central. While Mr. Roosevelt has aimed at the plan of centralizing the executive by act of congress the control of all the railroads of the United States, Mr. Harriman has actually by his private operations succeeded In centralizing In himself the control of one-third of them. Mr. Harriman has had his rail road rate bill placed on the statute books, and Mr. Harriman, without the least Interference has recently raised railway rates to suit himself on his tranrcontitnental lines. The people of California protest that lines built for competition are under a sin le con trol; they protest against the recent rise In the rates on the Harriman lines; and there they are, nothing la done. It has been a favorite doctrine of Mr. Roosevelt's that his methods of centralization offered the only way to combat socialism. And socialists (lnd only cause for satisfaction that the consolidation of railroad systems un der Mr. Harriman's management has been making . rapid progress during the days of Roosevelt railroad re form. Where consolidation by an in dividual Is accomplished they antici pate that state ownership will be made easier If not Irldeed Imperative.

MEN AND MEASURES The. busiest place about the capltol is the office of the engrossing clerk, D. M. Kinsland, of the house, up on the third floor of the capltol building, where he has four of the best looking lady clerks In four states,' besides oth er help, and all as busy as martins in nesting time, making the proper rec ords of the work done. It is well that they are so high up, for there Is one place that things must be done right and all mistakes obviated, else the Work of much of the session goes wrong. Don't go creeping up there, now. just to sec the ladies, for it will ava'l you nothing, not even the mem ber of the house known as the "gallery gazer." ' Mr. George I,. Morion made very Rood Monday, In the chair, when with in two hours, he had Kissed by the houic twenty-five bills, and 11 f teen of the number .worn roll cad bills, which take so much time. Save once, thero was not a moment wasted, and the -old machine, hummed along so smoothly that the reporters even got to lazing and going out to speak to a friend. Mrs. Morton sat In the gallery to the right and smi'ed'at the man of her choice, who so ably guided the delib erations of a body of law-makers for a great state. .;. Speaker Graham Is expected to be here" to preside over tbe house by Thursday If not before. His business at Granville court was such that he had to put down the work here and go to the work there. The rest from the grind here will be helpful, even if he works the harder there. Half the session of the general as sembly has gone, and the two things likely to be the most important before the body will be the Appropriations and the Revenue act. These are be, ing gotten in shape by commlittees and will not' show What Is going on till the matter fe -befc the body.-' By the way, It is not an easy Job to make ap propriations when there is a deficit for the past two years of large proportions. And Mr. Haymore's fox bill for Sur ry county was held up in the senate by Brother Britt. That was too bad. It-went through the house with mis givings, on account of the unsenti mental ones. Even Fagg, a . neighbor, asked questions about it, as though reynard may hayew. at times, been about Fagg's henroost; and getting over to the upper house, was Uncere moniously laid on the table. . Go see Britt and stuff him with the pleasure a fox hunter gi ts out of the chase, and see f Surry foxes cannot yet be saved from the gun and the dog in the wrong time of the moon. Representative Crawford felt a whole lot better Monday, when that same reading clerk found the wrong word in the bill of Mr. Wilson from Tran sylvania, which read: "Shall be found," etc. when it should have been 'fined," Strange to say, Mi-, Wilson, experienced and practiced as he Is,, wo never said old, went and put the mis take one the stenographer. Just like Crawford did. Stop and think how- natural the word sounded In there, and how like a conversation you have heard. - No better Indicator of the progrcs- siveness of the state at this time, than the number of bills for the Issueing of bonds to Improve towns, build schools and levy special taxes for schools and bridges and general Improvements. When fifteen roll calls a day are nec essary to pass such, one can get a good idea of what is In the minds of many of the town and country people. The age Is lending all the time to bet ter things than we have had. Hoarse coughs and stuffy bolds that may develop Intd pneumonia overnight are quickly cured by Foley's Honey and Tar, and it soothes the Inflamed membranes, heals the lungs, and expels thecold from the system.
