A CIVIC SERMON.
Judge James E. Boyd Delivered from
the Bench at Greensboro Court a
Most .Practical and Instructive
Charge to the Federol Jury.
Greensboro, N. C, June 5.
The regular June term of the
United States court convened
here today, and will probably
conclude its business this week,
there being but few important
contested cases on the criminal
docket. United States District
Attorney Holton did not arrive
from Winston until noon, but
Judge Coble, assistant district
attorney, was at the prosecu
tor's table and kept things go
ing at the morning session.
Mr. Charles H. Dor seta, mer
chant of Greensboro, was made
foreman of the grand jury.
Judge Boyd's charge was char
acteristic, being more in the way
of a capitol civic sermon than a
dry rectial of specific in factions
of the United Sfates statutes.
He dlsensFod the evils of mono
poly an-. I trur.ts, in so fai as they
violated the law as j aid down by
the supreme court in the two
recent decisions against the
Standard Oil company and the
American Tobacco company, and
gave instructions to the jury to
do its duty in the premises
should such matters be officially
presented to them. He vthen
gave a disertation on "the virtue
of contentment," as a caution
to the jurors not to be swift in
believing every thingthey heard
abeut the vast superiority or ad
vantage which one class of citi
zens or one class of corporations
had over the average man. God
Almighty, for some reason, he
reminded them made all sorts, of
folks. Some were tall, some
short, some little and some big,
some fat and others lean. One
man had robust health, mentally
and physically, while others
were born sick or tired in both
particulars, and others
who might be physically
periect, were afflicted mental
deficiencies. Some men he con
tinued were also gifted with the
capacity of amassing great
wealth, while others apparently
equaPy balanced had not this
faculty at all. Nature itself,
ithen he pointed out, had for
some wise purpose planned
these inequalities. It might be
for the benefit of mankind as a
wnole. It certainly ottenworK-
ed out to the salvation o the in-
dividual.
The happiest and most blessed
he saidj
man, you will observe,
is generally the average "man or
woman, who , with good habits
and conservative mind pursues
the ordinary callings of life, con
tent with providing sufficient for
the support of his family, the
payment of his just debts, regu
lar labor of mind or 'body or
both, who can eat with relish,
digest with satisfaction as a re
suit of sane living, and who go
ing to bed at night sleeps sound
ly and awakes next morning
feeling ready and eager for the
duties of the new day.
You will see that this is so if
you think a minute. Look at
one of these great wealthy mag
nates, the agiator calls a collos
sus of capital. Why should th
average man envy him? H
can't sleep. He roll about in his
private car or his yachts, seek
ing something he can't get with
alhhis millions of money and his
realms of influence: His diges
tion is gone. He can't sleep, he
wants to eat and tries but itmak-
es him sick. He goes off to Ger
many and all over the world
drinking water, when he wants
something stronger hut he
doesn't try it. The average man
doesn't care so much when he
dies, for he is ready and often
lifejsn't as much here to bim -us
fris hope for something better in
the next existence. But your
rich magnate cares most for
these big things he thinks he is
doing in this world and he loves
to live and he has him a doctor
everywhere he goes, and the
least ailment has to be adminis
tered to at once, for fear he
might die and his .faithful omni
present and well paid physician
will surely give liim something
every time he gets grouchy. So
after all those of us who have
good health good character, fair
promotion, and sane content
ment, need go aiound trying to
reform the world andt upset and
upset nature, by tninking we j
are not treated fairly, when we
see these nabobs bobbing
around appearing to have had.
These great riches by - indivi-
duals or by aggregations of in -
dividuals, are often gone like the
morning dew from them before
they die and their fate is in
tensely tragic their punishment
immeasurably hard and severe.
The great public permits it
self corrupted and debauched,
condition of affairs has ccme
about in some portions of our
country, where hordes of indi
gestible immigrants are huddled
and given the rights of citizens.
But these great powers of wealth
and organization cannot for long
harm a people of integrity be
cause their numbers are few
compared with the average citi
zens. In North Carolina, our
people are conservative and as
yet God fearing, and if any of
these1 influences can control

we should be so reasonably con

What Free List Bill Is.
Upon close investigation the
farmers' free list'' bill becomes
a mighty interesting measure.
It untaxes many articles the
farmers use, but it means about
as much to all other consumers.
It puts 100 articles of common
use on the free list and it is esti-,
mated that it will save the public
some 300,000,000. The mea
sure wont hit the revene.es hard,
either. The tariff is nearly pro
hibitive on the 100 articles con
cerned, so that the custom gets
only ,$1,500,000 from this
source.
