It is only a matter of a short time
until the interurban ear line will be
a reality in Concord. Mr. V. S. Lee

taining the expressions of a number
of citizens here favoring the line, and

usena that work on the ear line to
Poo cord would begin in a short time.

v ;.; ? ; r 'J'-i.
Senator F. M. Kmmons, of North
Carolina, does not believe that Pres
ident Taft'a Canadian reciprocity
' treaty , is good for bis State. ; The
Senator has during the past week re
ceived hundreds of telegrams and let
ters from the people in the State who
. are opposed to the treaty. While the
measure-will undoubtedly pass the
House by a good majority it will en
counter rough sailing in the Senate
and it may be necessary for President
' Taft to call an extra session of Con
gress in order to put the treaty and
the permanent tariff bills through.
The Greenville News has a cartoon

anything that has been said to show

DR. HENRY VAN DYKE la one of the gentlest souls on earth."
But gentle souls, kind reader.'are sensitive souls. And the gen- '
tier the sensitive. Don't eliminate that new coined word, now,
' Mr. Proorreader. You know. What Tennyson said when some- -body

dictionaries. No? .Well, be pulled away on his clay-pipe and remarked
; quietly, "It will be hereafter." Dr. an Djke to a poet, too, though -'
not of the Tennysonlan sixteen Inch, gun pattern. He Is a minor poet
and one of the, most delightful of them. Perhaps if be bad not divided
.'. the profession of poet, with those of preacher and professor of English -literature
he might have been a greater poet Yon should know that '
poets who must 'work at other Jobs two-thirds of the time should not
, be expected to reach . the . peak pt Parnassus. : Dr. van Dyke recently
toslueo his Princeton professorship because, he says, he "felt that'hs
was not wanted" and "chose to break with associates who failed so far
In respect for him as to deny him a voice in faculty affairs." But there
' Is in the wide world outside a large section of humanity that both re
, spects and wants him, and his gentle voice will be heard on the lec
ture' platform.
DC TEE LEOLSLA UTILE.
Legalised State Primary Law The
Proposed State Bunding.
Speriaf to The Tribune. '
Raleigh, February 8. A matter
thai has taken front seat Cor serious
consideration at this stags of the pro
ceedings (when half of tbe session
has been s(ent and most of the more
important matters are yet to be dis
posed of as usual) is the proposed Le
galized State Primary Law.- The more
radical advocates of this " sweeping
change, which at present incorporated
the proposition to compel all parties
to nominate the candidates of their
respective parties and to be voted on
at the ensuing election on one certain
and same day are demanding that the
candidates to be so named shall in
clude all the names of the men who
can be voted on for United States
Senators at the polls and that tbe
Legislature (no matter what its polit
ical complexion) shall carry out the
edict of the popular will as ex
pressed at the polls, whether the Sen
atorial candidate twho received the
winning vote in the primary shall be
a member of the political party con
trolling the Legislature or not.
Two remarkable instances of the
application of this new political fash
ion have just been witnessed, by the
election of a Republican Senator by
the Democratic legislature of Nebras
ka and the election of a Democratic
senator by the Republican legislature
of Oregon.
The frieiWU of Simmons (who won
his flr-nt election through a -primary
over Gen. J. S. Carr) and Governor
Kitchin (whose aspirations to succeed
Simmons are well known) claim that
both these gentlemen, are favorably
inclined to a state primary for Senator
next year. Whether either or both
favor the "whole-hog" and all par
ties primary plan, this deponent
saith naught, being in blissful ipno-l
ranee on that detail of Hie proposition
Rut whether there is a legalized
state primary law enacted or not and
whether there is a senatorial state
primary or not, there re more or less
(telmed and persistent assertions to
the. effect that Messrs.! Simmons and
Kitchin may as well prepare them
selves to face a three eonared en-
eounMr when tbe batde for the eea-
atorshiD is fousU nt Aiul tk

It begins to swear very orobable.

' ' dangerous precedent ' ' of bond issues

ground floor,, at least, of that king
and much needed State building Xor

state executive and judicial depart
ments of government, and at tbe sasse

branch to stretch out ita legs under
the table while at work. Also to al
