KNDl.NU OF TH MONOPOLISTIC
GRAB SAME.
The months of uneasiness and de
clining prices In. Wall Street securi
ties, has been interpreted by those
engaged In frenzied finance, as being
due to President Roosevelt and his at
titude towards those engaged in Wall
Street gambling. .The sheer folly of
imputing to the President such col
lapses as have taken place, needs no
apology or explanation. It is the a
rousei public sentiment that has de
manded that those in positions of
trust, shall give an accounting. That
trusts shall not enjoy special rebates,
and that those getting rebates shall
pay the "law's penalty. That rate reg
ulation is a State perogatlve. That
the people shall be allowed competi
tive chances, both In the business
way for themselves, and as consumers.
The check on the monopolistic grab
game, has caused those so engaged
to make a rush to get out, to prove
the convenient alibi, that It was not
they, but others who committed the
acts.
The people have discovered that
they have been too long submittins
to being used as the monkey's paw
for those engaged In frenzied finance.
It" has been found that the law
Is applicable to the millionaire
The Issue Is the. law's strict enforce
ment, net President Roosevelt The
culprit must only blame himself, for
the penalty being meted out to him.
The delay In the enforcement has
made the guilty ones feel that they
were Immune. Recent events have
proven that the limit of high finance
has been reached. That the law is
going to govern, not frenzied finance.
The end. of the monopolistic grab
game is' near at hand.
SEW BERN'S CONTRIBUTION TO
3 COLORED EDUCATION.
, That there has been? and Is a firm
' community of feeling interest, . be
tween the white and colored citizen
ship of New Bern, is not a matter-of
dispute or argument. In no city does
there exist better1 feelings. And in
no city can the white citizenship show
' sueh a helping hand on all occasions,
as does that of this city, towards its
colored citizenship.
This assistance has been exhibited
in many ways, under various condi
tions. .The poor and worthy, colored
citizen receives the heeded attention
-be- it for sickness or for shelter.
The colored religious denominations
have never asked in vain ot the white
people, when they "needed It for church
work,, or along missionary lines. In
dustrial growth, the desire to learn
trades, by the colored people, has tej
celved the help of the,. white people.
Encouragement In" race upbuilding
Jias "been ready, and is always extend
ed by leading citizens, of New Bern,
whenever the colored man has asked
for It ' . . . , .
,' But with all that has been previous
ly done, the latest manifestation that
the whites have shown the colored
race, is In the educational line. To
day a splendid public school, to 'cost
"probably $7,000 or $8,000, Is betas
built for the colored youth,' through
city fund,. This money has accumu
late! la tuiflicient amount, to give a
i tl:at will be large Enough to
5,1 a colmcl public S'hool hnus"

Of course, taxes have been I !1 Into
the school fund, and schools, white
and colored, helped in their mainten
ance, but in the money given to build
tills public school for - the colored
ycuth, is seen the first municipal
ownership ot a school building tn
New Bern. This contribution trnly
points to the confidence that the white
citizenship has for. the colored citizen
ship, and the desire, to assist the oom
hig colored generations to .be good
and worthy citizens. This mark of
confidence Bhould be, nobly -responded
to by the colored youth,'" who shall
be educated, and through education
establish themselves in worthy -dally
pursuits, and bo repay by an honest,
steady and industrious . citizenship,
the faith of those who bo well con
tributed to lay the foundation for a
higher and better colored citizenship,
and It will be money more than well
invested.
A DEMAND FOB INCREASED 6RAD
, - ED SCHOOL ROOX.
That the population ot New Bern,
increasing as it has during the past
year, would show the increase in a
larger attendance at the White Grad
ed School at the FaTf term, was noth
ing else than a certainty. The Jour
nal said this last spring, and the good
advice tendered, that the summer was
the time, when preparation should be
made to meet the school room demand
that was certain to be wanted during
the school year 1907 08. I .'.
The increase in the number of pu
pils this Fall, has made it necessary
to increase the number of teachers.
This has been done. But with school
room facilities already fully taxed,
the increase of teachers meant some
improvised school rooms. This has
overtaxed the present graded school
room conditions. It has made two
grades occupy the same room. The
injustice to both pupil and teachers
in this method is obvious. Recita
tions have been held in the halls. Im
provised school quarters have lacked
in space, light and heat' Both teacher
and pupil have suffered from these
annoyances, and the result has been
educational failure, that Is both teach
er and pupil have suffered, in neither
being able to accomplish the work
and duties set before them. :
, That some temporary arrangement
will be made to- carry the school on
with added room, will of." course be
done by the board of trustees. But
something more than Just meeting to
day's school exigencies is demanded.
It is not enough that the graded school
be just good enough tor todaj There
is wanted something over this. A
provision of facilities and equipment
that while it will not urge compul
sory education upon this community,
will be able to. say to every parent,
"the school room and teacher are
ready for your child." : In other words
a provided educational way Is needed
for the youth of New Bern. It may
teem today, a tax to provide sufficient
school rooms, and the teacWs with
other equipment, but it will be found
i low tax, a wise tax, a tax to save
the youth from a fate that is certain
to follow ignorance and Idleness, for
the boy or girl that does not attend
school will usually be found upon the
street, and that means demoralization.
There is no sum of money, and no
great amount is needed, that would
not prove a gilt edge investment for
this community, to put into larger
school facilities. It would repay in
the next generation, with an educated
community, one capable of carrying
on the affairs of this city and State,
as these will present themselves, and
unless there be the men and women
capable, there must come in outsiders.
Is it a pleasant thought, that the New
Bern of 1920 will be governed in its
Industrial, commercial,' financial, so
cial, educational and religious mat
ters by others than the descendants
m those New Bernians, whose past
record will be all that remains? And
yet this must be the case unless the
New Bern boy and, glrr Is given the
educational chanee today, to gain the
knowledge that means everything for
themselves and their community.

. Hew Lawsoa Fights.
Frank Fayant in ''Success Magazine:
Believing that Lamson, was trying
to ruin him, Lawson set about to ruin
the Lowell inventor, this is Lawson's
way "an eye tor an eye, and a tooth
for a tooth.". Not very Christianlike,
but a part of the heart-breaking, soul
destroying game of dollars a game
that hasJSeen growing bigger ever
since primitive man set about to get
his brother's wordly goods by force.
The modern way ot sticking the knife
inta a man is to attack his property
in stock market, and undermine his
credit Lawson went into the stock
market and opened his guns on Lam
son Store Service shares. They had
been rising rapidly, touching $62 on
the rumor that a big melon was to
be cut for the stockholders. Their
par value was $50, and they were pay
ing ten per cent dividends. This was
yeeh-ly in the winter of '89. Disquiet
ing rumors began to spread. To nse
Lawson's own words, referring to a
later time, when the shoe was on the
other foot, and Lawson was defending
another company from Just such an
attack, "from all the stock market
sub-sellers and rat holes of State St,
crept those wriggling, slimy snakes of
bastard rumors which, seemingly
fatherless and" motherless," have In
reality multi-parents who beget them
with a deviltry of intention." Law
son was the father of the Lamson
rumor. Stories were told from mouth
to mouth how the insiders had "milk
ed" the company by selling their -own
Inventions to it at their, own prices,
in much the same manner as the Har
riman "high financiers" last year fat
tened their purses by selling their
Illinois Central to the Union Pacific
at their own inflated valuation; how
the directors, by their mismanage
ment, had saddled a debt ot $800,000
on tlje company, were aolng to bring
out a mortgage of $1,200,000; and how
the laws of the land had, been brok
en by Lamson and his agents in their
brutal strife for a monopoly, Lam
son stock was sold heavily day after
day, and the price melted away. In
January the dividends were suspend
ed, there was renewed liquidation, and
the stockholders began to get ner
vous. Lawson kept right on selling
the stock and keeping the rumor mill
going. ' , .

suit , of the presidential eltctlon de
pends upon the vote of three or four
doubtful States such as. New York,
New Jersey, Maryland, Rhode Island,
and Delaware, and It is essential that
the ticket must be satisfactory - to
Democrats and independent voters of
those and perhaps other States, "
Who can best unite the party T and
be the most available candidate is
the question that Democrats must
settle when electing delegates to rep
resent them at the National Conven
tion. However,' strong Mr. Bryan
may be. can he get those doubtful
votes, and Is he the most available
candidate to carry those Close and
doubtful States? No democrat can de
sire a repetition of the last campaign,
when thousands of Democratic vot
ers who would have voted for Mr.
Bryan, refused to vote for Judge Par
ker, or voted directly tor Roosevelt
If Mr. Bryan is nominated can he ex
pect to receive the united Democratic
support? ; It is fplly to say, let what
may V termed, the Parker elepaent
go and rely upon the enthusiasm of
the Ijemoeratlc'wassea to supply the
place of those who night be luke
warm -or stay-at-homes. It would be
equally impolitic to nominate a can
didate who is looked upon as belong
ing to the Parker faction. The Bryan
enthusiasts would cut him as-they
did Judge Parker, and the party can
hardly stand two such disastrous de
feats In sneccession.
Wisdom would suggest a ' compro-
mlse'candldate as the most available
under the circumstances. A candidate
who 'has not been prominently con
nected 'with either faction, and '. who
having supported Mr, Bryan in his
campaign, also supported Judge Par
ker. There are a number of such men
in the party who -eminently fill the
necessary requirements of honesty
and ability, any one of them no real
Democrat can refuse to vote tor.
Fortunately the Democrats are not
divided on essentials.' Tbe-Bemocracy
is a unit on tariff reform and opposi
tion to protecting the trusts, while it
believes in Home Rule ' and State
Rights and is Opposed to stretching
the Constitution. Therefore there
should be no conflict on a platform
that all Democrats can agree upon as
the doctrines of the party. : With an
available candidate it certainly looks
to be the opportunity of the Democrats
to wipe out their misfortunes ot the
past twelve years and redeem the
country from existing evils. '
