' ? , " " ' ' -' 'Washington, Arpil 22-'the house will begin consideration early next week of the"farmer'a free list bill'r which removes the duty on more than one hundred articles used main ly in agricultural sections. ' ' : The Underwood free list bill has been framed with the idea, of conv pensating the farmer for any losses he may incur under the Canadian re ciprocity agreement. The opponents of the latter have proclaimed that the Canadian farmer has all the bet ter of the argument, and that' reci procity with Canada is bound to re duce the price of the American f ar mer's products. .r " " , . "There may be inequalities under the terms of ;the Canadian . agree ment," suggested ; the democrats, "but we will see that the farmer does not lose anything in the long run. We will frame a free list bill putting on the free list practically everything the farmer uses." ; " ; ' : X" .' : V ' And this the democratic, commit tee on ways : and means' has done. There is no doubt that the bill will pass the house next week. If a re publican senate seeks to kill it then the democrats will let the Country deckle the issue. 1 ' i ' ; !" i ; - The old line republican protection ists are expected ' to bitterly oppose the free list when it Is taken up by the house but its passage is believed to be assured by ' almost as large a vote as that given to Reciprocity last night."4 - , - With the free list bill out of the way the house will next turn its at tention to the reapportionment meas ure, enlarging the house to 422 mem bers. ' Meanwhile the committee on ways and means will .beat work on the potton and wool schedules, and will have other pop gun tariff bills ready to report as soon as the general leg islatlon gets out of the way. : - Will 11 Ever Come. Kl Will tfie time ever come when we will have statesmen instead of poli ticians in congress? A member who considers the- interests "of his own district to the exclusion of the coun try at large is. hardly bigger than a two-by-four, yet such men go there and keep going.- Here are Congress men Webb and Gudger from; the mountain districts of this state, op posing Canadian reciprocity because it might hurt the wood pulp industry in their section of the state. Repre sentative Doughton is against it be cause he fears it might hurt the cat tle business, in which by the way, he is directly interested. Mr. Webb has served several terma in the house and has probably scored republicans for doing just what he is doing, v If the policy of these gentlemen is to be followed we would indeed have a pretty kettie of fish, With every fel low for himself and the devil- ake the hindmost. .A man who can not see further than his own district is a mjghfy poor t!

MUST EXTEND TRAIN. NorrolK Shoofly After Nay IS Matt Operate to Wllmlngtoa. The Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company was today ordered by the Corporation Commission to extend its service from Goldsboro to Wil mington by May 15. Commissioner Brown wrote the order, which was concurred in by Commissioner Lee and dissented from by Chairman Mc Neill, ' The train will leave Wilming ton at 4 a. m., and must make con nections at Goldsboro with the South era train for the west and the early morning A. C. L. ' train for . Rocky Mount and Norfolk. The case originated with the peti tion filed in the legislature at the last session by senators and repre sentatives requesting the extension of service, and business men of Goldsboro, Wiimington, ' Rocky Mount, Burgaw, Warsaw, Mount Olive, and other towns later filed petitions with the Corporation Com mission.' In these petitions it was set forth that only two trains are op erated every, twenty-four hours be tween Goldsboro and Wilmington; that additional service would pay; that during the year ending Decem ber 80, 1910, the trains - between Goldsboro and Wilmington carried 285,685 passengers and collected in fares $189,095;. that an additional train would be a great accomoda tion to. shoppers and that patrons of the road desire the train. BACK TO CELL, STRIPLING "Unwritten Law" Denounced as Spt . del ef Anarchy. - Atlanta, Ga,, April 22. In denying the application for pardon filed by Thomas Edgar Stripling, former po lice chief of Danville, Va.,- under sentence to life imprisonment for the murder of William J. Corbett, Governor Brown, in a review of the case, made public tonight, excoriates the "unwritten law," which Strip ling pleaded in justification of his act as a "euphamisra presenting, when unmasked, the hideous feature of anarchy," which will bring criti cism upon the retiring Governor's position in dealing with the question in the abstract of the right of a man to defend the honor of a sister.

ThatThaCeBiUtatles.lt Mandatory. The Supreme Court has handed down its decision in the case brought by Governor Kitchin against State I Auditor Wood to settle the school tax matter, ine court is unanimous in its opinion, holding the law valid and that the poll tax must automat ically increase itself when the prop erty tax is increased. The opipion is written by Associate Justice Brown. . The revenue act of 1911, chapter 50, Public Laws of 1611, increased the property tax from 43 to 45 cents on the (100. , J3ut it left the poll tax at $1.26 when it should have been increased to $1 35 to maintain the proper equalization between the two. Suit was brought before Judge Daniels so as to get a decision on the matter. Judge Daniels held, in accordance with a former decision of the supreme court that the law was invalid. The matter was argu ed before the supremo rnurt yester day and the decision as above hand ed down today. The decision is a complete reversal of the former opinion. The court holds that the constitution is mandatory as to the poll tax, that the law stands and that the poll tax must be increased to $1.35 to meet the constitutional requirment. Raleigh Daily Times, 12th. Mr. Martin, Leader T That Senator Martin should have aspired to leadership in the senate was a reflection upon the Democratic party in that body; that he should have been chosen is amazing. A leady in a parlimentary body should have at least qualities to rec ommend him. r 1st. Sympathy with the whole people in their struggle" against special privilege.: Mr. Martin not only lacks this but is wholly and un reservedly on the other side. 2nd. He should have' a record which would give assurance to the public and thus strengthen the party, Mr. Martin's record is just about as bad as it could be and his seclection not only stifles the party but brings odium upon those who are responsi ble for his elevation. 3rd. A leader should be able to present with calmness and force the democratic position; he should be able tomeet and repel the attacks of the opposition. " . -. Mr. Martin is singular lacking in ability as a speaker. - He will have to rely upon some one else to present auguments. What talent has he then? He is a master of . manipulation. He a machine politician; his pow er is the same that Aldrich possessed, lacking Aldrich'a ability, and his end will be the same t there is as much vjrture ampng democratic voters as there. s among republican voters. 4 It is to be hoped that Virginia, the home of so many illustrious states men, will retire him and send some one to Washington who will restore prestige and give expression to the sentiment of the rank and file of her people. " - . . If Virginia fails to do this the next senate is likely to , retire him from leadership. v 1 , It is probably too much to hope that he ?an, during the present ses sion, be fqrcedl tir resign the chair, manship, hyt he is quite sure to be humiliated by being ' deserted by a majority of the democrats on impor tant measures unless; the exigencies of his ' campaign compel him .to change his position. . - .' . Martinism will become as . obnoxi ous to the democrats as Aldrichism did to the republicans; the sooner we get rid of it the better for, the party, and the country. The" Com moner.

The Dams consisted of Jacob Dam, his wife, Kathering Dam, ten Dam chilren and one Dam brother. They are going out to Iowa to engage in farming. Among the ten Dam children are two sets of twins. Papa Dam is forty-five and Mamma Dam forty-four. The oldest twins, Hedrick Dam and Peter Dam are seventeen. The other Dam twins, Jacob, Jr., and Hillije, are fifteen. Brother Dam, who came in with the Dam family, was christened John J. Jacob Dam, was busily engaged in sorting out the Dam baggage, aided by the eldest twins when the custom officer approached. Jacob's other children were asking him questions in per fectly good Holland Dutch at the rate of a minute and the head of the Dam family looked peevish. 'What's yer name?" asked the cus toms officers. "Dam," replied Jacob. "See here," said the customs offi cer, "I'll not tolerate profanity." Jacob explained that his wife and himself and family were good church people and then showed how the joke was on the customs man. The Dams came from Nieuw Bey erland, Holland, and are going to Pella Iowa. Raleigh Times. FAMILY SUICIDE PACT. Htuhand and Wife Oat of Work and Money, Decide to Die Chicago, April 22 Choosing death rather than starvation, a father and mother entered into a suicidal pact with the result that the mother and a 4-year-old son are dead and the father and a four-months-old baby girl are in a serious condition today. Andrew Dxiurgot, at the county hospital, told of the death agreement with his wife and of their failure to carry it into successful operation. "I bought some poison with the last 15 cents I had," he said. "My wife and I had talked it over and de cided that death would be preferable to stavation. I lost my job several weeks ago through illness. Then my wife was taken sick. Our food gave out and so did our funds. We put the poison in some milk, the only bit of food in the house and gave it to the little ones first. Then my wife took a swallow. There was only a little left for me, but I drank it. "We placed the baby, Mary, in the crib after giving her the poisoned milk." Some Facts About Kansas.

Ceanties and Cities May Quarantine at State Will Not. On and after June 1st of this year lhe State of North Carolina will not quarantine for smallpox, the legisla ture at the last session passim; a bill to place the responsibility on the in spreading of the disease on the indi dividual. The state board of health however, will render every assist ance practicable for the protection of the public. Individuals and com munities will be warned to vaccinate, literature will be distributed free of charge and every assistance given the various cities and county health au thorities. The state will save $100,000. In dividuals have been taught that vac cination is the one infallible preven tion and the question of health is left to them. The burden of prevention is shifted from the state to the indi vidual. Cities, towns and counties may, however, quarantine against the disease. Dr. W. S. Rankin, sec retary of the state board of health, at whose request the bill was passed by the legislature, is preparing in formation to be distributed. The law on the control of smallpox is thus set forth: "On the appearance of a case of smallpox in any neighborhood, town, or city, the quarantine officer shall use all due diligence to warn the public of its existence and to notify the public of the proper means for preventing its spread; the said warn ing and notification to be according to the instructions of the state health officer. The authorities of any town, city, or county, shall have authority to require children attending the public schools to present certificates of immunity from smallpox, either through recent vaccination or pre vious attack of the disease. If any parent, guardian, school committee, principal, or teacher shall permit a child to violate such a requirement of the aforesaid authorities, he or she shall be guilty of a misdemean or, and fined not less than ten dollars or more than fifty dollars." Raleigh Times. Bonds and Debt. Concerning bond issues for public improvements the Danbury Reporter talks sense in the following: "It is all right for a private indi vidual to be careful and economize in the management of his own affairs avoiding debt and shunning obliga tions for the future. But this ru'e when applied to great corporations or commonwealths or counties, works differently. No one would consider seriously a railway company that tried to extend its lines on its net earnings, without borrowing capital obtained at low rates of interest. Without bond issues the Southern Railway Company could never have opened the south to its present enor mous developments. Without bond issues, the Panama canal would be only an interesting dream and never a reality. Without bond issues North Carolina would have no capitol at Raleigh, no insane asylums nor pen itentiary." It is just a right and proper for corporations, commonwealths and counties to be careful not to go into debt beyond the capacity to pay as for individuals, but whenever a bond issue for public improvements is mentioned, some people, who are seeking . an excuse to oppose the proposition, will profess to be greatly disturbed over the thought of going into debt. They just can't abide debt; it drives sleep from their eyes and slumber from their eyelids. This idea is praiseworthy in a sense only, for when a good investment offers, by which one can make money by go ing into debt, it shows ' a lack of business sense not to go in debt. . - But when you find one of these fellows who is so afraid of debt in a bond issue, just ask him if he never made a debt in his life and if he did why he made it? ' How man) people do you know ; who do not at some time or other go in debt? ; Very few and one who never made a debt in his life would be a curiosity, States- villa Landmark.
