FARRISS .Editor. SATURDAY, MAY 8, 1909. Charlotte says that she will be able to take care of us. Well, wc are all going if we have to bunk in the public square. Florida had better be satisfied with the suffrage laws as other Southern States. A bill is before the legislature to give the ballot only "to every white male person twenty-one years old." The new Spanish Armored Cruiser Viscaya paid a friendly visit to our shores before the war with Spain in '98 and she is now on the junk-pile. The Japanese warships were received with all due honors at Sah Francisco and they made a junk-pile of the Rus sian naval vessels. The efficiency of the American navy is now acknowledged the world over keep it so. There is an opening in the busi ness world for a large insurance company, a number of them for that matter, that will on a business basis work out a cheaper line of insurance. In order to do this the stockholders must first make their minds to be satisfied with an average profit on a good invest ment and the policy-holder should also be satisfied to take some risk and not ask the earth for a guar antee that the loss will be paid at his death. Much can be done in this direction by selecting men to manage and control such com panies in whom the public already has faith. The insurance companies do not yet reach the great masses of people who need it most and we believe that ere long there will ho a change in the policy of some of the old line companies. There is alreadv cheap insurance, some of it good, but the most of it fakey. The need is for safety and cheap ness. Can it be done ? A BENEFICIAL MOVE. The extremely favorable loca tion of the city of High Point a a manufacturing center loads to the opinion in a great many minds that a diversity of indus tries would be of groat benefit in more ways than one. The lines manufactured by the different companies would spread into all parts of the world carrying the name of High Point into many lands and over many seas, causing people generally to inquire about it as to its availability as a place to locate their plant and event ually bringing into our midst many different manufacturing es tablishments. This would mean of course increased population real estate would increase in value as the necessity for more houses arose the trade of our mer chants would be increased in pro portion as the poulation increased and a general era of prosperity would be with us. It is not t4ie purpose of this ar ticle to designate the different lines of business which would find it to their interest to locate in High Point but that there is room and actual need for a toy factory which would utilize the by-products of our furniture factories It would seem reasonable to believe that a cotton factory could be located here with advantage tM the concern and great benefit to the city. Surely the silk mill we already have is a great addition to the manufacturing district and the class of operatives which work in a cotton mill is about the same as those who work in the silk mill so we need have no hesitancy on the score of undersirable in habitants. HOW THEY DO IT IN KANSAS. . "Eastern automobile factories are now making a strong bid for the trade of western Kansas," said Fred S. Walker, of Topeka. Kan recently. "They are not out ly establishing agencies fn every county seat, town in the short grass coiintry, but are also mak- "VVm tVft acpciax., raoueia 01 411109 ;iorj,tq lungs nu prevents pneumonia 1 .t T74r;'.f-?-T" TT. , v;; TTT -1 , , 'Wf;; Jhat4de.i,Whether they will bt lnd c6numptlon,?nCohtaift i .no l4-W ((vf 4r, U ' ' ' "; 1 .

"Probably no people in the world are more prosperous than the farmers of western Kansas," continued Mr. Walker. "Reports show that their bank deposits ag gregate $400 for each man, wo man and child. The average over the state is $135 per capita, which far exceeds the per capita deposits of other states. "The short grass farmers have thousands of tons of alfalfa in the stack, more growing wheat in the bin and in the ground, while cat tle and horses and mules are roaming on every side. Up-to-date farm machinery makes it possible fo rthe farmer to spare his chil dren time to go .to school from seven to nine months in the year, and the school he provides for them now is just as good as that provided for the children in the thickly settled sections of the east, The only difference is that the schools are not so numerous. "At the present time the saddle horse is the most popular means of transportation," added Mr. Walker. "Kvery morning the roads around a country seat town are lined with boys and girls on horseback with their geometry, botany, Ceasar, Virgil and other high school books coming to school. Sheds are provided at most of the schools to shelter the horses during school hours. The fanners take turns about furnish ing feed for the horses. When school is out for the day the pu pils go downtown, do the trading for the family and ride home. 'Many farmers are now buying automobiles for their children to use in going to and returning from school. Frequently two or more fanners make up a jackpot and buy a light touring car just for the ildren to y( to school in. ' LIMITS BRITISH TRADE IN PHILIPPINE ISLAND Si rn:t1 fii flu1 Kn t criiri London. May 8. The an- in iincomont that the American eminent intends to close the iiilippino market to other na tions hv estaMi-hinir tree trade Htween the islands and the Unit ed States means the ruin of an ex tensive and LrrowniLr trade in llritish goods. Some of the Brit ish export houses mainly engaged in I hi liii)i ne trade have connec tions that date back over loo vears. special resentment has been aroused because, when mcrica took the islands ovc irom .spam m iNci. specific assur ances were lmtm to the r.rit.sh foreign office that no tariff hangos would he made injur'ou:-. o our old estahli-hed commerce i.erc. Tudor the Treaty of I'ar.- made at the close of the Sp.uiish- Vnerican War, America was hound to keep the Philippine mar- kit open to other countries for 10 years, ending on April II. last. In this upen market lTritish man- ulactiircrs have more than held their own. In the 4 vears, 11)04-7, the imports of I'ritish products and manufacturers were about S8.(kxi,ooo a voir, while those from the United States averaged less than $0,500,000 a vcar. An export duty was recently imposed on Philippine hemp and a full re hate was given on all sent to America. Up to then the center of the hemp trade had been in London. The American govern ment also declared recently that all trade between America and the Philippines was coastal trade, and that none but ships under the American register could take part in it. L'p to then the trade had been largely done in liritish ships. There are about 20 British firms in Manila alone. The largest im port and export firms are British, the two leading banks are British, a British company owns the rail way, and many of the most im portant enterprises have British capital behind them. An announcement is made that the Russian government has se cured for the navy the technical advice of John Brown, of Clyde hank, and the news has been re ceived in Glasgow with the great est satisfaction. It is known the Germans had high hopes of secur ing the overlooking of the Rus sian naval work. No time will be lost in making a start with the long delayed Russian naval pro gram. The condition of the Rrown agreement is that the work will all be done in Russian yards by Russian artisans. Since the destruction of the most effective Russian ships in the Japanese war the Russian navy has been a neg ligible quantity. The recent Ger man humiliation of Russia over the Balkans, and the startling dis closures of the weakness of the French navy, have no doubt been the two forces that have impelled the allies of the French to delay no longer in strengthening a naval force that has sunk to a very low level.
