What Conrfrass Did, Congress has adjourned after session of 4 months and: 18 days, during which time it has discused and passed legislation that is of vital importance to the people. , - v .The extra session' was called by the president for the purpose (of passing a reciprocity measure with Canada, and this has been done and now awaits a rote by the Canadians this fall. The Baltimore Sun. sums up the work of the session as fol lows: , "The house passed the farmers' free list bill, putting upon the , free list a large number of necessities used by all classes of consumers, With certain amendments, this was passed by. the senate.' Though it was besigned to lower the co.st of living, the president vetoed it on the ground that his tariff board was in .vestigating, and announced that he would refuse to Approve any. tariff legislation until, that board had made its report. , "On the same ground Mr. Taft vetoed the wool bill, which provided for a considerable reduction in the rates on raw woo!, woolen goods, clohing and blankets, and censti tuted a needed revision of Schedule K, which is considered the most 'un just feature to the present tariff, Mr. Taft himself having admitted that it is 'indefensible.' "The house passed the cotton bill. radically reducing the tariff on 'cot ton and cotton goods, which was amended in the senate and went back to the house. This measure, according to agreement was also passed by. the. house. His action on the wool bill . and the far mers' free list bill indicates that the president will also veto the cotton. bill. ; ' - '. . "Jl bill was passed providing for the reapportionment of membership of the house 4 of - representatives ac cording to the census of 191,0, and increasing Its membership from 391 to 433, thus insuring against loss of representation by any state. This bill was signed by the president and has become a law. The addition of 42 congressmen and the admission of Arizona and "New Mexico will mean a large increase in the elector al vote next year and may have an important effect upon the result of the.presidential election. "Though urged by Mr.. -Taft Jn a special pessage to provide for more specific regulations for the enforce ment of the pure food and drugs act, neither house took any step to ward the amendment of that law. "The joint resolution for the sub mission of a proposed constitutional amendment looking to election of United States senators by direct popular, vote was passed byV the house, but when it reached the sen ate was changed by the adoption of the Bristow 'amendment, which, able authorities contended, gave specifically to congress the power to regulate elections in the , various states." This aroused the fear of , a overturn the election laws and con - - stitutional amendments adopted by the southern statesto eliminate the ignorant negro vote, and the house refused to agree to the ' senate . THE PHCt 0E COTTON. Aa fcffort Will Hade T Force Vp . frlc, - , ,, ; .. ..; .... :t ' Washington, D. C, What was re ferred to generally as threatning the cotton market was thoroughly discussed at a meeting of senators and representatives, including Rep resentatives John H. Small, of North Carolina; Oscar : Underwood and Heflin, ,of Alabama, and Senators Williams, of Mississippi, and Owen, of Oklahoma. l fHold cotton for' 13 cents," is" the advice the committee will give the farmers of the south in a letter which will be sent to every cotton Mitttai (n f Via ainf knMi atftiAa . wtw an wis ovuMiCiilBhavCOi 1 f In an interview, for the Daily News Representative Small said The meeting was one of the most important ever held in the interest of the cotton growers. The sgricul ture department's cotton report is sued a short while ago indicates that a crop of 15,000,000 bales will be produced this year. The world can only use about 13,000,000 bales of American cotton, and if the report of theepartment is taken seriously it will result in the. price of cotton be ing forced down to about nine cents a pound. Reports from the differ ent states indicate that the total crop will not be more than 13,000, 000 bales, so our idea is to get every man who has got cotton to sell to re fuse to sell for less than 13 cents a pound, and to withhold at least 20 per cent of this year's crop. We rare making arrangements with the banks throughout the coun try to lend the farmer from $25 to ; $30 on each bale of cotton which he refuses to sell, and at a rate not to exceed 6 per cent per , annum. There may be some banks in isolated parts of the country who are not able to make this loan and we have arranged to take care of them. The New York cotton exchange isuseing the government's cotton report to depress the price : of the cotton and unless the farmers refuse to sell at less than 13 cents the price of this year's crop will drop below 9 cents a pound." Letters have already been sent to all of the farmers' state unions with a requestthat the county and dis trict unions be advised of the action of the cpmmittee .-P. jl.

PITT'S (Gravely's Old Stand) V TkeNaa lJhG.4tt,; Do you happen to think of a law yer who left a growing practice to accept some clerical position that paid a high salary, but ruined the professional career of the man who was tempted and fell. ; Did you ever see a great teacher who waa becom ing eminent In calling turn aside from his vocation to enter the com mercial realm jand engage in the fierce struggle for dollars? Do you know of a doctor, great physician, whd heard mammon's call and joinod the mad throng of the money) mak ers? 'Did you ever 'see a preacher like Dan Matthews who turned in disgust from the exacting toil and care of the pastorate to find sordid joy among the muck rakers? Of course you hare seen all these and so have we: and of course another thing: You never saw one of ' them who did not forfeit in large meas ure the confidence and admiration of his fellows. Some irreverent politician said: "God Almighty hates a quifter." , We do not know about that but do know that the average man has no admiration for the man who dishonors his profes- sion by leaving it. If a man quits one thing he is liable to quit an other, and this want pf stability is fatal defect of character. Of course failing health or other causes over which a man has no control, may force him to change his business but we are not talking about that class. We. mean those men who are lured from their life calling by what seems to them greater financial promotion in another. We ought to love our work, and our ability to develop it and makfe it count for more in the service of mankind, ought to be our chief concern ra,ther than the amount of money we can make out of it. Actuated by these motives we will' stick to our business and be blind and deaf to calls (romrother direc tions: We have always ' been sorry for the poor fellow in the pulpit or the pew who is, forever keeping his eye out for a better-place with bet ter pay; we have always envied the man who throws bis soul into his work with such tumultuous eager ness that other things seem to him small and unattractive. Such a man will not only' succeed but he will perform the ' highest possible service of which he is capable. Charity and Children, v : Work to its Advantage. We owe it to the community in which we live to do everything we can in every way possible that will be to it advantage. Our neighbor's prosperity means a great deal more to us than someone's who lives else where. ; We" should bear this in mind in buying our goods. We can afford to pay our home man a firm price for his wares rather than send our money away, knowing as we do The seni'lthat every dollar expended with our own citiiens will help in sustaining our schools and churches and public institutions.' It pays richly to pat ronize home industry. Oxford Ban ner, j j i , t ' The Graphic one year one dollar WAREHOUSE WHITE HOUSE COST $$0,000. All Serfs f Iipaa alr4 te Kp ' s It Ceijr a Tear. It cost Uncle Sam 150,000 to keep White House presentable and cozy last year. Colonel Spencer Cosby, in charge of the building and grounds, says jn his annual report. One hundred men were busy during the year repairing the building. The elevators, vestibule and roof were all "done over." A new sys tem of lightning protection waa in stalled, the storerooms were remod eled and a new telephone system was installed. . While PresidentTaf t was at Beverly , last summer every piece of furniture in the house was repainted or "rubbed up." , An allowance was made for the clerks in Executive offices who work ed over time getting out invitations for social functions. During the year the affice force, working on four state dinners, 10 small dinners, two day receptions, two dances, two balls, four garden parties,'- and the President's silver wedding anniver sary. A Salary B&ilt. A hurden is imposed oh every county and municipality that allows its officers to operate on a fee sys tem. There are pauper counties wherein the sheriff, clerk of the court, register of deeds, treasurer, ana otner omcers, draw larger em oluments than the governor of the commonwealth. There are ' men holding comparatively insignificant offices drawing ten times the money they could make elsewhere. Would you hire your officer to handle your personal account and at the same salary that he is drawing? You have no right to complain about high taxes and dirty politics as long as you lack the manhood to protest these evils. Graft is the penalty of a disinterested citizenship; and high taxes with permanent improvement, is . the necessary result. No use boasting your city or community, if you do not kill the political leeches that prey upon the industries located I in your midst. Go back to child hood for your example; you and your brother or friend fought each other, sometimes cussed each other, but never allowed an outsider to pursue the same tactics, '.'o, Fight your fights on the inside. Knock hard from within against all forms of graft and reckless ex penditures of public funds and boost mightily the advantages offered capital in your community. Go to it. Merchants' Journal and Com merce.': i. ., ; . . ,' APPLICATION FOR PARDON . Application will be made to - the Governor of North Carolina for the pardon of Orren Fox Convicted at the March Term, 1911, of the Sup erior Court of Nash County of the crime of store breaking and larceny and sentenced to the public roads of Nash County for a term of eighteen months. , All persons who oppose the grant ing of said pardon are invited to for ward their protests to the 'Governor without delay.

Wemoa Saved ladlaa DaUctlvo In an effort to stamp out the illicit sale of liquor among his fellow In dians in New Mexico, Juan Crui, a young Indian detective and an offici al of the government, killed another Indian on the 4th of February. Cruz was attacked by drunken toughs and to save himself from death drew his revolver and fired at random and the bullet hit the ringleader of his mur derous assailants. Cruz was arrest ed and the three toughs swore in the preliminary trial that the killing was entirely unprovoked, and the chan ces were good that the young Indian would be hanged without seemingly an effort to save him and as a pun ishment for trying to break up liquor business in that part of New Mexico. However, the W. C T. U, women came to the rescue,' secured funds and provided Cruz with good lawyer. When the trial came on the court held that Cruz waa an officer entitled to the protection of the United States statutes and that he was engaged in the discharged of the duties of his office and dismissed the ease. The judge declared that he was disposed to go as far as the law allowed the court to aid the United States in the suppression of the illicit liquor traffic and not to hamper its officers in the honest dis charge of their duties. There is not much 'question that the prompt action of the .W. C. T. U. saved this young Indian from an ignomininous death on the scaf fold. American Issue. Aa Old Maa's Gospel Of Work. At ninety-four Abraham Teachout, a wealthy manufacturer of Cleve land, lays down the rule of bard work for old age. . Working six days a week himself, he says: "A man of sixty who has good health is in his prime. It would be the great est folly for a man of that age, if he was vigorous, to settle down to a life of inglorious ease." Physicians have noted a tendency among men of years to break down rapioiy alter withdrawing Irom ac tive business, f Work provides the physical stimulus and interest in life without which their .farces fail.
