the House will be held -all that stands
in the way of President Taft's approval
of the bill, which is to take effect
March 4, 1913. ' .
' The increase in tne membership of
the House will mean an added expense
to the country of approximately $400,

il never be cheap sr than at present,
no let's start now and have good clean
fields do work in, when labor gets to
be double the price we have to pay to
day. A small flock of sheep will be
found worth their keep, and more, just
as weed killers. They get into the fence
corners and way places and call all
manner of plants good that wewith
our limited experience at the end of a
hoe handle do not consider good at all
And a weed taatea so mirch better in
the form of lamb than it doer just as
plain weed. Get a little flock'of ahrep
an J then when the farmers get to look
ing after their own business a liltl
more closely we will try and see if we
can not prevail upon bur politicians to
allow a dog law to be pasted in each
state for the protection of the sheep

WORLD'S PEACE
PACT SIGHED
Three Great Natious Agree to Sub-
: mit Differences to Ar-
. - . , bitration. -
Washington, Aug. 4, President Taffc
aent to the Senate today the grneral
arbitration treaties between the United
States and Great Britain and the Uni
ted States and France, signed by thin
government and for Great Britain here
yesterday and signed in Paris 'for the
government of France.
The brief messages of transmittal to
the Senate were written and signed by
the President yesterday and today it
will lie with th' United States Senate
to ratify what baa been termed the
greatest step toward the abolition of
warfare that the world thus far has ta
ken. , Already there have been mut
terings from the Senate over these
treaties. President Taft is :" noncom
raital, but was anxious to put them be
fore that body before the adjournment
of the special session;
The ceremony of signing the treaties
took place in the President's library in
the White House.
Paris, Aug. 4 American initiative
in unrestricted arbitration waa crowned
yesterday by the signing of a treaty of
permanent peace by the terms of which
France and the United States agree to
submit to an arbitral court of differ-1
ences that may arise "between the two
governments, even thougb the digni y,
honor and vital interests of either re
public may be avoided. S:
The ceremony of affixing the sigia
ture to the unprecedented document
as simplicity itself, but marked with
a solemnity . reflected in the faces of
those who had the honor to take part.
General features of the new treaties
are:'
All differences internationally juatje
abio shall be submitted the Hague, un
less by special agreement some other
tribunal ia created or selected. ,
Differences that either country thinks
are , not justiciable ahall be refened to
a commission of inquiry, comprsmf of
nationals of the two tovemmenUi' em-
powered to make recommendations for
their settlement. Should the commissi
ion decide that the dispute should be
arbitrated, such decision will be bind
ing.,. ' Before arbitration is resorted to, even
in cases where both countries agree
that the difference is susceptible of ar
bitration, the commission of irqniry
shall investigate the dispute' with a
view of recommending a settlement
without arbitration. The commission,
at request of either government, will
delay its finding one year to give an op
portunity for diplomatic, settlement. ' '

LA FOLLETTE GOES

Says Ryan Should Not Have Been
V Given Claim on Con-
troller Bay.' :i V
Madison, Wis., Aug. 6th. Following
President Tatt's message to Congress,
in explanation of his Alaskan policy.
Senator La Toilette, in the current Is
sue of La FoilettVa Weekly character
ixed Taft's present conservation policy
as the "same old Bellinger pulley repa
diated by the public". .
. "Ballinger is now gone, crowned with
Presidential laurels," says La Follette,
"but Ballingerism remains. This
the meaning of Taft's stateme.it in the
Controller Bay case. These lands, skirt
ing the shore of "Controller Bay should
ntver have been thrown Of en to private
individuals. Do not lose sight of that
fact. It is the essential fact in. this
controversy. , ' ,
"The manner in which Taft let Ryan
get a foothold on this strategic point ia
important only as it illuminates the
Tsft method, ' The act itself is impor
lant as showing how very insecure are
our valuable natural posteaaion under
the Taft policy-"
vLa Follette declares Roosevelt kept
these terminal landa from Individuals
by. placing tbem in the Chugach forest
reserves, but Taft. "at the request of
Ryftn, took tham out of the reserve for
the very purpuse letting them go, to
private individuals and corporations,"

ton tariff bill, the third of the big tariff
revision measures' brought fiard by
tre Democratic House of Representa
tives, passed that body by a vote a 202

reduction in duty that the Democratic
leaders estimate to reduce revenues by
about $3,000,600. 1 ; ' 1
Not an amendment was offered to the
bill, although the Republicans attacked
it vigorously on account of alleged in-creases-in
certain items over' the-, rate
of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law.' Scar-

NEW FERTIL
. . IZEO PLANT
E. II. '& J. A. Meadows Company
, To Have Their Fertilizer Plant
c At Graysville.
As already slightly mentioned in The
Journal it has been learned that K.' II.
& J.. A Meadows Fertilizer Company
have completed all arrangements for
removing their plant f rpm this city to
Graysville and that the contract has al
ready been awarded and work on the
new plant is well underway.
For a number of yeari this company
has been doing a fertilizer manufact
uring business at Union Point and hve
made a success of the business. There
was one d'awback to the location
of this plait however, and for
a long while the managers bave
been looking around for a new location.
This impediment was the distance that
they were compelled to haul their pro
duct to the railroads. Situated as the
plant was it was impossible to place a
side track anywhere re r at hand an1)
the guano necessarily waa carted sev
eral blocks before it could be plact d
upon the card. - 1
The company owned a tract of hnd
at Graysville, on the south side of
Neuse river and after considerable de
liberation it was decided that the new
plant would be erected at that place
and plans wr at once drawn up. The
main building will be 150 feet wide and
300 feesm length and will be 3 stories
in bight. From this building a pier
300 feet long which will reacii out. into
deep water, this will enable the largest
boats that come up Neuse river to load.
The new plant will have a storage cap
acity of 50,000 tons. .
As far as practicable the machinery
now being used in the mill in this city
will be used in the new plant, however
a considerable quantity of new machin
ery has been ordered fer the new plant,
A side track is also he laid from the
main line of the Norfolk-Southern.
This will enable then to place cara right
up to the doors of their warehouse.

How. brlof is the summer on the
highlands of Labrador! says Ilcsketh
Prlchard In tho Wide World. Snow
does' not melt till July, then with a
rush midsummer comes. Grasses and
leaves grow almost visibly, the wild
cottoa soon flings out Its little whitp
popnons, millions of berries ripen on
the ground, the toon cries, tho ptarmi
gan calls, and you mny even see a
butterfly balancing In the warm wind.
But then also wnkens the countless
army of nunchbneks, lean nnd grny
mosquitoes, piping blithely for blood.
So summer reigns. Then suddenly
one day at the end of August, nfter the
sun hns sunk behind the bnrrcYi crags
through a bnlmy warmth of evening,
ono mny wnke up to find cverythlnr

other season already falling.

mons said today that his attention
had
been called to at article in the Newafc
Obgervtr of the 3rd, copied from the
Dallas (Texas) News, relating to the
lumber circular issued bv the Demo
cratic Executive -; Committee in the
campaign of 1908, in which the charge
is made that he controlled the North
Carolina machine (meaning the Exe
cutive committee,) and that he and the
organization, which he controlled, prom
ieed that they would betray the party in
Congress if the lumber manufacturer 3
would "come across" with t fat con
tribution, and that these manufacturers
did "come across" and probably gave
as a further consideration a promise to
support him for re-election.
The Senator said "there if not-an in
telligent man in North Carolina,, jnclud
ing the editor of the News & Observer,
who does not know that I bad -no con
nection with the parly organization in
that election, and ft ho does not know
that a majority of the, committee as
there constituted, including the (hair
man, Mr. Eller, was hostile to me. "If
any contribution was received from the
lumber people iu that campaign in con
sideration of thac circular, I know
nothing about it, and have never heard
of it before, and I am satisfied that no
such, contribution was made by them
t ) Mr. Eller or to any one elae. "The
suggestion that the circular was issued
in part in consideration of a promise ot
1 ho lumber people to support me for
r election is not only false, but at surd
n view of the fact that the majority ol
t he committee was hostile to me as be
fore stated.
The Senator added that "it would
seem that the News & Observer is
muck raking the eonntry to find some
thing to injure and discredit me, and
does not hesitate to fill its columns
with clippings from other papers con
taining . statementa with reference to
me that the editor of the News & Oi-
server must know are not true,"
