New fJern, N. C October 2. 1906. WHEN WILL GOVERNMENT END ITS WALL STREET ALLIANCE? For so long a time has the govern ment at Washington been the-financial backbone to the speculative interests in Wall Street, New York, that these interests have come to regard "the Fed eral treasury as theirs, to use in every time of money distress, to further their speculative schemes. The reports from Wall Street indicate again financial dis tress. The fact that millions upon mil lions of dollars of new stocks are being issued, and with evy kind of induce ment offered to the public, shows an inflated condition, and yet because new stock issues of water, and old stocks at greatly advanced price are not eagerly . taken by outsiders, - the holders of stocks, the manipulators of "pools." and promoters of Wall Street specula tion, finding the market dull, and mon ey scarce for their speculative schemes, are again crying for their ally, the See retary of the United States Treasury to hand out millions of gold, so that speculative interest may be revived, outsiders deluded into buying worth less stocks, and the Wall Street crowd can sell out. Wall Street speculation in stocks is legitimate, because of the original prin ciple of buying and selling actual prop erty, While actual property may change hands today in that market, the origi nal twain ui cue uuuesiy mmi openness of the transaction has passed. ; Pool rooms and gambling houses are closed by the police, because these places are presumably dishonest But will an out sider be fleeced any more quickly in one of these places, than he would be in Wall Street? Is there a greater show to win in Wall Street, as against roa lette or poker or any gambling game? And yet the government at Washing ton hastens to assist the stock brokers, when money gets "tight" Why cannot the bucket shops ask government gold, when the market goes against them? Of course such a proposition is "terri ble" to think of, the bucket shop is such a wicked -institution! What is there to make Wall Street speculation and its promotion of such a character, as to call for government intervention in its behalf, at all times? Is there a legitimate dollar added to the country's wealth through Wall Street specula tions? Is trade increased, industries promoted, except upon inflated lines, or is a single investor helped through Wall Street? It would seem as if this country had advanced to a position of commercial honesty, when government aid to stock speculation was past When the coun try's development and prosperity did not need Wall Street manipulation to create fictitious booms to help people a thousand miles away. It is time for Wall Street to stand for itself, and not be able to have government endorse ment and backing for all it does. V.'MAT IS NEW YORK DEMOCRACf ? The result of the Buffalo Convention, where the New York Democrats met in convention a few days ago, to nomi nate a State democratic ticket, is no great surprise to those at all familiar with New York politics. The news jnper fight in New York against the II wot Independent League has made it r. ; ar that Mr. Hearst was weak. " ' a actual condition was revealed when 1' s convention met It showed a t strength, which even the anti t faction recognized, and it was ' t only a few hours and the i would be given to Mr. If" r convention clamor of ' ": "' t' -.fitti.-letlas ' ' 1 ' I " " -i J - aster is procIiiimeiL if Hearst is elec ted, and so on. To the Southern Democrat ail this is strange reading, not that there should be different democratic opinions and choice of several candidates. The anti- Hearst movement before the Buffalo convention was legitimate. The en deavors to defeat Mr. Hearst at the convention was regular. But for party democrats to meet in regular conven tion, make contentions and, fight for place, then when defeated to refuse to abide by the results, it is a kind of democracy which is not fully understood by the Southern Democrat Why should the New York democrats go in to convention, with the avowed or at least understood ' purpose that - the several factions would "bolt" the nomi nations, unless the nominations were to their liking ? ' - " ': j The real truth is that Democracy in its essentials, is unknown in New York. The conventions which meet in the name of democracy, and declare for the time honored principles of demo cracy, stand for no real democracy. Neither nominations or actions will stand the true democratic test V The cry is democracy, bat beneath the sui. face, are trusts, combines, ward heel ers, office seekers, and the betrayers for money. It is the cry of democracy, to delude, to deceive, to detract from the real purpose office graft It is surprising that such alleged democracy is not understood by the Southern Demq crat :.- .'7 And yet will the South be blinded to accept this kind of democracy, and vote for the men which New York declares are democrats, and deserve the South ern Democratic party's support? INDIVIDUAL BENEFIT OR COMMUNITY GAIN ? The "survival of the fittest " howev er true, considering it from the view point . of the evolutionist cannot be maintained in community up-building, if the application be made that the in dividual must ever selfishly endeavor to secure all benefits for himself, re gardless of his neighbors. Every community has one or more citizens who seek personal benefits all the time. The next door neighbor and the rest of the community may not be held as enemies, but they are the same thing. They exist as fit subjects from whom all possible benefits may be ex tracted, and nothing, or as little as pos sible, given in return. No mora terri ble or discouraging sight can be seen or found, than a community where its citizens are possessed with this spirit Personal aggrandizement commercial ly. The desire to look upon everything, simply in what it may yield the individ ual , -, : . Individual survivalism commercially or socially, gains no strength in this day, from selfishness. There may be in special instances apparent successes, bat there is no real gain." Individual efforts to profit by every one and every thing around, often builds up private fortunes which do not hold together for many generations. Instead of this in dividual attempt to survive at the ex pense of others, there should be the desire of the strong to give of their strength to assist those of less strength. It is the spirit of co-operation, that is demanded, so that in community unity of spirit and action, every citizen may come in for help, if help is needed, or if called upon to render help. Selfishness is not specially character istic of this age. Indeed there is a con tinued increase of the charity feeling. But there is needed more the charity disposition towards the community at large. The desire to gain forces of all citizens to promote local enterprises, to buildup home industries, so that all classes may receive benefits, It should be the impulse of every citizen to serve his community so that its citizens may ev er be workers for money, not placed as mendicants, recipients of such things, as a favored few citizens may be wil ting to give, to just preserve life. ; The world calls for action and work from the individual, for self-preservation and life enjoyment But with this individual effort, upward towards suc cess, there is time for thoughts of oth ers. There is opportunity to assist oth ers. There ean be personal benefits gained, at the same time there can be community interests served, and the element of personal selfishness be kept down, which is always destructive upon a community's advancement A CuarantMS Curs For Pllts Itching, Elind, Bleeding, Protruding, Piles.

The Japanese Matting Rush All the so-called "Chinese matting" used for covering floors in, the United States and Europe is imported from Ja pan where it is woven in hand looms from the stems of a species of bog rush. This identical rush, juncus effu sus is native to the entire eastern sec tion of the United States where it cov ers thousands of acres of marshy and boggy ground. ' :?U Owing to the cost of hand labor the weaving of matting has hitherto re mained a monopoly of the Japanese and Chinese. Recently there have been in vented and patented in the United States several power looms for weav ing matting. The) inventors of these looms claim that they can compete suc cessfully with hand labor of any coun try and only wait the supply of suita ble and sufficient raw material to begin the manufacture of floor matting on a large scale. - ,!'-tl In Japan. the matting ruah is grown as a semi-spontaneous or by-crop along the banks and ditches of rice fields. It has been so grown for many centuries and has been subjected to a crude kind of selection which has produced special varieties suitable for different classes of work. The American rush never having been utilized has not been im proved, but there can be no doubt but that under scientific culture, selection and cross breeding the American plant would, in a very few years give im proved varieties probably far superior to any of the Asiatic varieties now known. ' In the meantime the United States Department of Agriculture, has through its bureau of toreiga exploration intro duced the varieties of rush most grown in Japan. These are to be given a prac tical trial in the nc growing region. All these varieties. - come from the warmer portion of the Mikado's empire and are not likely to succeed except where rich soil flourishes. The two plants require much he same kind of sou, tnougn tne rush does not, require the frequent flooding nor the same amount of labor that rice does. In North Carolina the Japanese rush will without doubt succeed on the wet bottom lands of the Cape Fear, Neuse, Tar and Roanoke (rivers. The crop when grown on a commercial scale is especially adapted for large farmers who can utilize improved machinery. The bog-rush, Juncus effusus is a per ennial plant related to the lily family, Once planted it will bold the ground for a lifetime or longer. The root stocks resemble those of Johnson and Bermu da grasses, and like these grasses the rush forms a thick mat of roots in the ground. The cultivation of a field of bog-rushes would consist of little more than an annual scarification of the ground with a heavy cutting harrow to break up the matted roots. Sufficient fertilizer would have to be used to en sure the largest yield of high quality rtraw. The harvesting of the crop may oe done with mowerj or better with self-binding reapers. The annual yield should be from 4 to 8 tons of salable straw per acre. There would be three or more cuttings each summer. The writer advises every owner of wet land in the eastern section of the state to procure from the Un'ted States Department of Agriculture enough plants of the imported Japanese rush to give this crop a fair tnaL Such trial plants can be had free of cost by ap plying to the U. S. Secretary of Agri culture, Washington, D. C, or to any Coricressmnn. The rush is not recommended for up land soils nr for any but the eastern counties of North Carolina.
