' Entered at the postofflce at Ral
eigh, N. C, as second-lass, matter.
The house made short work of the
Brlstow amendment to the direct
election of senators resolution. The
Brlstow amendment would place the
election of senators under federal
control. The house by a vote of 172
to 112 killed the amendment. The
vote was almost a strict parly one.
Recorder Smith, of Charlotte, is
giving the big blind tigers some hard
licks. Two "social clubs have re
cently been put ont of business,
their licenses revoked, and heavy
fines imposed. So much attention,
generally, has been paid to the lit
tle fellows that the big ones have
grown bold. They seemed to think
that they were not to be molested. A
few more lessons like those Record
er Smith is giving are needed. They
will soon learn under treatment of
this kind, that they, too, must obey
the law.
The meeting of the doctors in
Charlotte has recalled to the Char
lotte News the noted doctors' ban
quet held in that city. And the News
laments, and doubtless the doctors
did also, that another such banquet
could not be held, because the
wherewithal could not be obtained
so easily. This is the first meeting
of the doctors in Charlotte since that
time of pleasant memory. In this
time of drought the doctors probably
are moved to think that that was a
time of prodigality and waste, Even
a small amount of that "banquet"
would have looked large at this time.
The state health officers, . Includ
ing all the county and city physic
ians, have organized the North Caro
lina Health Officers' Association.
This organization ought to result in
much good to the state. Closer or
ganization of these physicians in the
interest of the public health will
.mean better enforcement of health
laws and better laws, if those we
have are not sufficient. They have
been giving good service, but their
course in organizing shows that they
'are determined to give better serv
ice in the future, and they should
have hearty co-operation in all their
efforts for the health of the general
public.
; THE ROOT AMENDMENT.
A good characterization of the
Root amendment is made by Charity
; and Children. ' Of the amendment
, this paper says:
; By a vote of 6 to 8 In the
committee in the. senate having
- the reciprocity bill In charge,
.' print paper- was taken off the
v free list And , If the - amend-
ment la adopted the paper trust .
will - enjoy the monopoly that .
f; ' has already made them rich
,- from the common profits they
are making off the newspaper
. publishers of this country. In
order to see "Exactly what this
- u Root amendment rill. do for the
country the tax the paper trust
1 will collect out of Charity and
- Children alone will probably be
In the neighborhood of $500 a
' year. And thia money will not
go toward the support of the
government or to relieve the ne
cessities of the poor, but it will
go directly into the hands of as
- grasping a set of pirates as ever
plundered a ship on the high
seas. Of course the senators
who vote for this privilege tax
for grand rascals will have every
kind of explanation to offer, but
; they will be explanations that
do not explain. We hope the
North Carolina Press Assocla-
: tion will take this matter up at
1 its meeting in Lenoir and shed
some light upon it for the ben
efit of the people who are not
informed upon the matter.
Nobody should object to paying
a reasonable tax for the support
of the government, and the .
newspapers would be the last to
complain at such a tax, but we
do protest against this hold-up
by a band of blood-suckers who
have somehow secured the fa
vor of a majority of the com
mittee In the senate, whose duty
it is to report the reciprocity
bill.
The print paiter trust, '"-together
with the lumber trust, has been
flooding the country with literature,
purporting to come from farmers' or
ganizations, in an effort to nianti
facture sentiment against reciproc
ity. And some of our North Caro
lina delegation in congress took the
bait and have been making the same
cry, that reciprocity would hurt the
farmer. We must confess, however,
that these gentlemen have been rath
er quiet since the exposure by the
congressional committee of the New
York "lawyers" who have been send
ing out farmers' literature and who
were paid for their services by the
lumber and paper interests.
."BACK HOME" MOVEMENT.
W, I). Roberts Off on Tour for Rail
roads Interested.
(Special to The Times.) '
Asheville, N .0. .June 22 W. D.
Roberts, of Johnson City, Tenn., the
secretary of the "Back Home" move
ment, is in Asheville today on a trip
through tnjs section for the purpose
of addressing the boards or trade
of the towns in western North Caro
lina and some of the towns in South
Carolina. After speaking to the di
rectors of the board of trade here
tonight Mr. Roberts will go to Mar
lon and from there to Spartanburg
and after which he will speak at
Rock Hill, S. C, Hickory and Lenoir.
Mr. Roberts is now the industrial
agent of the C. C. & O. Railroad
b ut it is his intention to devote all
his time to the "Back Home" move
ment at an early date. The rail
roads which are now interested in
the movement are the C. C. & O., the
N. & W., C. & W. N , C. & O.. and
the A. W, P., which has headquar
ters in Atlanta.
Mr. Roberts stated that the fol
lowing boards of trade are now co
operating with him : In Virginia
Lynchburg, Suffolk, Norton; in North
Carolina, Winston-Salem, Raleigh,
Greensboro, Hickory, Lenoir; in
South Carolina, Spartanburg, Rock
Hill, Camden, Charleston, Green-
ille; in Georgia, in Alabama, Mont
gomery, Annison; in Tenessee, Nasti-
ille, Johnson City, Memphis; in
Mississippi, Columbus, Nachez.
Mr. Roberts stated that these
boards of trade were sending in the
names of people who have gone from
the south to the west and that he is
now receiving nbout fifteen names
aaily of people chiefly . in the far
west, that the Greensboro board of
trade has recently sent over 3"-0
ames of people west of the Oh'o
river; the Winston-Salem board has
sent over 1,000 in the past three
months.-..
He further stated: "We have re
cords of over fifty people who have
come back here in the past six
months, and there are several thous
and more who are. preparing to come
as soon as they can dispose of their
property. We have private advices
that there are more than 50,000 idle
men in Washington, Oregon and Cal
ifornia drawn there by low rates. .
"It has been the experience of the
railroads mentioned that out of every
00 inquiries received ninety-live
have been for farm lands and a good
proportion of this for fruit lands.
This movement is interesting people
from all parts of the world. Letters
have been received from north west
Canada, from Massachusetts, some of
people who have never been in the
south. This movement hat brought
more Inquiries than the paid adver
tising of these railroads.
"We are striving to reach every
person In the west who has gone
from the south and It is estimated
that there are about 2,500,000."
Mr. Roberta Is preparing to issue
magazine, "Back Home" as the or
gan! of this movement The first edi
tion of 30,000 copies will be issued
about July 15. It will contain ad
dresses of the governors' of the fol
lowing states to former ' southern

ings aaginst Mr. W. E. Worth was
started yesterday morning before
John D. Bellamy, Jr., Esq., who has

to enforce the collection of subscrtp
tions for stock in the Rockingham
Power Company to that amount, the
finances having been provided by
the Knickerbocker Company. When
the case was tried in the United

ever, he failed to show this and Judg

ESCAPE FROM ROADS.
Negro Sent Vp for Four Years Now
Free Veterans Getting Busy for
Entertainment Crazy Woman's
Rash Deeds.
(Special to the Times.)
Wilmington, N. C, June 2 rAlon-
zo Green, a negro who was sent to
the county roads last April to serve
a term of four years, (the sentence
having been imposed in the superior
court), made his escape from the
county chain gang Monday morning.
In spite of determined efforts to re
capture him, he has not been located
as yet. He was trailed to the north
of the city Monday afternoon. Sev
eral shots were fired at him but he
managed to elude his pursuers. It is
believed that Green made his escape
into Brunswick county. He was go-
ing'-toward the bridge across North
East branch of the Cape Fear river
when he was last seen.
News of the escape of Green from
the chain gang reached the city
Tuesday afternoon, the matter hav
ing been kept quiet Menday in the
hope that the man could be captur
ed. Green escaped from the road
force while working with other con
victs unloading cars Just, below the
National cemetery on the Market
street road.
Cape Fear Camp, United Confeder
ate Veterans is working vigorously
upon plans for the entertainment of
the state organization of Confeder
ate veterans, when the members
come here for the annual convention
the fight week in August. It is ex
petted that there will be fully two
thousand members in attendance. A
general committee to provide homes
and boards for the visitors has been
appointed. These committeemen are
already busily engaged . in carrying
out their plans. The members of the
committee have been asked to make
report daily of their work to Captain
W. P. Oldham, the chairman. He, in
turn, will submit the reports to Mr.
Leon, the adjutant, and the latter
will make assignments of hotels and
boarding houses to the visitors.
Those who will charge for entertain
ing the visitors are asked to submit
their prices, etc., to the committee
men so that all financial arrange
ments may be made.
Mary Smith, a negro woman ad

The Jailer was entering the cell with
food for the woman when she landed
on his optic member with one or her

The eye Is bruised and swolen to

siderable pain. The -woman will be

Good Fortune, a Companion of De-
, .- mooraey.
Notwithstanding the certainty of
President Taft's renomlnation by the
republican convention In 1912. and
notwithstanding the defection of live
of the thirteen " insurgent senator.
Senator Robert M. La Follette will be
a candidate for the presidency, unless
there are unexpected developments In
the next few weeks. With this split
threatened in the republican party, Jt
would seem that good fortune is deter,
mined to be the constant and faithful
companion of the democratic part.
La Follette and bis political back
ers can not possibly hope to secure
the republican nomination in 1912. The
best they can hope for lis a strong
demonstration in the convention, the
defeat of Taft In the general election
and La Follette as a formidable can
didate in 1916. The La Follette boom,
after several serious dlsiipointments,
it is semi-offlcially announced Is to- be
launched' in the next two weeks. The
preliminaries are now being pulled off
The magazine supporters o La Fol
lette are zealously advertising him
this month with special articles, and
the energetic press bureau which has
i-etved the insurgents for the past
three years from Washington. Is now
sending out L ' Fnllett.) mutter to
every paper likely to use.it..'
The plan was to launch the boom
Fometime ago, but events overturned
expectation. In the llrst place the
progressives of Chicago took 'charge
of the republican party and ran pro
fessor Merrlman for "mayor against
Carter Harrison. The regulars were
notified that their services were not
needed. Members of .the- Taft cabinet
were politically told, when they volun
teered to speak in I'liicago for the
republican candidate, that they might
is well stay' '.'in'' Washington. Gover
nor Deneen, a regular republican went
to Chicago with a speech in his grip
for Merrlman but he was told that he
might embarrfts the campaign which
the insurgents were conducting. It
has developed that the insurgents were
confidently expecting to win and that
they had plans laid in advance, after
a victory In Chicago, to assume charge
of the party machinery in Illinois and
turn the delegation over to La Follette.
But the same thing was In store for
the insurgents that they received In
)lilo and New York, an overwhelming
defeat. La Follette had reasons to
xpect the hearty and loyal support of
the thirteen insurgent senators, but
five of these men, who had their ears
to the ground jumped the game and
ran over to the Taft crowd. The re
maining eight are altogether too luke.
warm to please the La Follette boom
ers. ,
But the Washington press bureau
of the La Follette boomers, says that
notwithstanding all this, La Follette
will run. In five states It Is pointed-
out, there are presidential preference
laws which permit a direct vote in
the primary on presidential candidates.
These states are, Oregon, Wisconsin,
Nebraska, North- Dakota and New
Jersey. La FolleVfe will see -that his
name goes into the primaries in those
states, and if by chance, it should
happen that he should receive a. larger
vote In these rive statelhan Taft or
any other republican, ha, could not
only raise a row in the next republican
convention, but he would have am
munition to make a fierce campaign
four years later.- .
In the meanwhile, it looks as though
fortune has only, good gifts for the
democratic party. Regardless of who
would get the majority of the votes In
the live primary states, the result
would inevitably rebound to the good
of the democratic candidate. Again,
f La Follette should show consider
able strength in the republican con
vention, he would leave in Its wake
two Irreconcilable factions, a circum
stance which would necessarily make
for democratic encouragement.
It Is far better for the democratic
party that La Follette should fight
Taft in the conventions and primaries
than that Taft should be given a
unanimous nomination by his own
party.Montgomery Advertiser.

sumers of sugar. That Is how they

as Wall street Is accustomed to say
Judge Gary recently testified before
the house committee that is investi
gating the steel trust that the Morgan
syndicate received 1129.000.000 for
organizing the United States Steel
Corporation, half In preferred a.tock
and half -in common. The expenses
of organization were placed at $3,000,-
0C0 and the syndicate turned over 2!,
000.000 In cash to the corporation. The
rest was profit.
This is the familiar story of. trust
organization. The public Is smugly in
formed that the trust Is the result of
a natural and Inevitably tendency
toward combination. In a majority of
cases the trust Is the result of a shrewd
promoter's seeing an opportunity for
enormous personal profits. Whether it
happens to be Morgan's -'profits-' on
steel or Havemeyer's profits on sugar,
the money comes out of the consumers'
pockets
If the Intermittent nnd partial en
forcement of the Sherman anti-trust
law has accomplished - nothing. The
Morgans are not collecting $129,000,000
fees now for promoting a trust. Neither
is any generous New Jersey corpora
tion' rew.-lrd-ing a Huvemeyer to the
extent of $10,000,000 for calling it into
existence. As the enforcement of the
la'w becomes more vigorous there Will
he fewer and fewer opportunities- for
this kind of extortion,
It would he well worth while to
know Just how much of the Morgan
fee and Just how much of the '.Huve
