President Roosevelt must be a busy man, and withal he is wonderfully resourceful. When the National Education Asso M . . ... ciation held session in Washington two SOURfJ Admonition. woe flgo Mr Rooseveit addressed a body of the school men, andamongst other things he gave them chunks of sound advice about training boys and girls as fol lows: "Teach the boys and girls that their business is to earn their own livelihood; teach the boy that he is to be the home maker; the girl that she must ultimately be the home-keeper; that the work of the father ?'s to be the bread-winner, and that of the mother the house-keeper; that their work is the most im portant work by fai in all the land. So teach the boy that he is to be expected to earn his own livelihood; that it is a shame and .scandal for him not to be self-dependent, not to be able to earn his own in the rough work of actual life. Teach the girl that so far from its being her duty to try to avoid all labor, all effort, that it should be a matter of pride to her to be as good a house wife as her mother was before her." According to some previous announcements there was to have been an ami-prohibition convention in Salisbury Thurs- Kot Too Sangahc. place Democrats" visited the city to attend the convention. They were lion. Geo. L. Morton of Wilmington, Hon. Harry Stubbs of Williamston and Capt. J. D. McNeill of Fayetteville. Some may be inclined to conclude that because this first attempt of the anti-prohibitionists failed they will leave off effort and not make any strong fight against State Prohibition. Such a conclusion is not at all warranted, Who has ever heard of the whiskey interests giving up a fight so soon? While it is entirely pos sible for prohibition to carry in North Carolina by a big major ity, this will not be done except by strenuous effort and persis tent work on the part of temperance people. Nothing short of this will bring the good majority that the very sanguine ex pect, and it behooves every man who believes that the State needs prohibition to do his full share in the present struggle to free our State from the curse of the liquor traffic. The people of the South are becoming greatly interested in ' good roads. Mecklenburg county, in this State, is said to have . n j, the finest road system in the South. The ; The South and Gcca Roads. Trade8maDf as uoted by tho charlotte ! News, thinks that investments in good roads are most excel- j ! lent. It says: "This investment first yields a return in an en- j '.littiiCcJ alue of all lands that arc served by good roads, and ! the State finds its immediate return for its outlay in that direc j tion, while the owners of these lands can add greater variety of crops as they can more readily place their products in local ! markets. And then the residents of the towns and cities can j be more easily and more economically supplied with food prod j acts from nearby farms, and so there is an endless chain of I benefits resulting from good roads that brings a compensating return to all classes in the State, and so all are interested in this movement and should help' it along. The South is waking up to thes.3 facts, and it only requires proper persistency on the j part of those who most clearly recognize the need of good I roads in order to secure what is desired in this direction." It has been given out that Governor William L. Douglas, ocratic Douglas How to Win. he is a large manufacturer and replied that trusts must be throttled. Here is his platform and a few of his comments: ''First, the Democratic party must make tariff reform the fore most issue. Second it must oppose the increase of Federal power and revert to the old doctrine of State rights. Third, it must fight special privileges in every form. Fourth, its leaders must get together on the common ground with the fundamen tal principles of Democracy as a basis, casting aside extreme radical doctrines on the one hand and ultra conservatism on the other. With such a platform and with a candidate chosen to represent principles rather than fads and isms, the Demo cracy will stand a strong chance of winning. I have said re peatedly that tariff reform must be the leading issue. That re form must come now, not with promises of revision in the dis tant, uncertain future. The present tariff system is at the root of most of our national evils. It is the source of that monstrous iuiquity special priviloge which saps the very foundation of government and of business life. Special privileges foster a class that feeds on the productiveness of the masses." According to stati'stics sent out from Washington by tlie De partment of Commerce and Labor, the United States last year received much from its noncontiguous We Send Away our Money territories. The following is noted with interest: "Of the 32 million dollars' worth of merchan dise received from the Hawaiian Islands over 30 millions was raw sugar. Of the 23 million dollars' worth of manufactures coming from Porto Rico 151 million dollars' worth was raw su gar, nearly 4 millions' worth of cigars, 11 millions' worth of un manufactured tobacco, and about 1 million dollars' worth of fruit. Of the nearly 13 million dollars' worth of merchandise received from the Philippine Islands over 11 million dollars' worth was Manila hemp, less than a half million dollars' worth sugar, and nearly a quarter of a million dollars' worth cocoa nut meat (chiefly in the form known as copra used inthemanu facture of oii). Of the 11 million dollars' worth of merchandise received from Alaska, 85 million was fish, chiefly salmon in cans, nearly a million dollars' worth copper ore, and about a half million dollars', worth furs and fur skins, in addition to which there was practically 12 million dollars' worth of gold, the product of mines in Alaska, and 2i millions of gold from foreign territories, presumably produced in the Canadian Klon dike reigon and sent into Alaska for shipment to the United States.". .

Who Should feg Oar Hgxt Governor? (Communicated to The Commonwealth.) j There is one candidate that the 1 preachers can't find any fault with and when they can't you may know he is a pretty good man and can be trusted with the ship of , , , , , r. , .,,! set of people who do find fault with j him and they are the rich bond and stock holders of the railroads or some other oppressive corpora-j tions who try to crush out honest j competition, or (heir servants. j He is a friend to the farmer. How can he help it, being brought j up on the farm, taught by a noble 1 Confederate soldier, Capt. Buck ! Kitchin, his father, how to do hard j labor: His record tor ten yeai-s m Congress, trying at all times to se cure legislation favorable to the farmers, is why he is so vigorously opposed by the American Tobacco Company and railroad interests. Who ever knew of either of these in- ssts to help t-se farmers, except to get gain for themselves. Farmers, he is your friend. Hisi record in Congress verifies this statement and being your friend and for you he is for the "bone and sinew" of this land. It all depends upon the farmer and you are in the majority. So think for yourselves. Don't let county politicians, corpor- j ation and railroad lawyers tell you i how to vote. You have just as bi brains as they haxe, capable of pro- , . j . ' ,, during good, honest, pure thoughts, I thoughts that are not polluted with ; bribe money from railroads and j other oppressive corporations. I have confidence in your thinking capacity. I have confidence in your action at the nrirrary. "Be not de ceived." If you want to live and do well you must get good prices for your tobacco and other products, This you can do if you vote for and elect to office such men tf execute . . , and make laws lor your country as Hon. W. W. Kitchin. Everything good come3 through the kitchen. 0, ftf fVio nATnnr.nti nfvra-3- papers that oppose him are really j not Democratic; "they are wolves in sheer s ciotnmjr, ana wneniounu . 1 ,, J 1 J .1' out they will be Republican papers or railroad organs. N. B. Some people (who would oppose him anyway) say he has held office ten years. Well, if people of! his own district know him well en ough to honor him five times isn't it good proof that he is worthy and can be trusted outside of his own district? Don't be disturbed by such opposition. It's tommy rot. Haven't you thought that railroad money may be producing some of these ar guments? It certainly is not good Democratic doctrine. Good Demo crats should want some one for their governor who has accomplished something like Kitchin; one who has been tried, tested and weighed in the balance and ' 'found not wanting. ' The very fact that certain so-called Democratic newspapers, oppres sive corpoiations, the American To bacco Company, the railroads and their attorneys oppose him is' proof enough that we need Hon. W. W. Kitchin for our next governor. Ira M. Hardy, M. D. Washington, N. C. Ahealthy man is a king in hi own right ; an nnhealthy man is an unhap py slave.

A writer on the subject of saving and spending says this: Volumes have been written, ser- i mons have been preached and even songs have been sung from time hn memorial regarding the different clases into which the human race is divided, but after all, there are only two classes between whom there is a real and distinct dividing line; the spenders and the savers. j The accomplishment of the works i of any age the building of the ! houses, the mills, the bridges, the ! railroads, the ships and everything j that has furthered man's advance- ment and happiness has been done j by the savers. The spenders carried i up the brick for the savers who built the house. The man who never has a dollar laid away for the proverbial "rainy ! day," or in readiness for opportun ity's knock, is a slave. He cannot ! helD beinsr a slave, for he is in con- ! st&nt peril' of falling under the bond- ! ! age of those others who have money, j The first step toward freedom and independence is economy. Economy j means the avoidance of all extrav- j agrance and the application of j money to the best advantage. The starting point of economy i3 the first nickle, dime or dollar that is saved as a nucleus aroundwhich the whole j future may be built. The trouble with most men is that they are not willing to climb the road to wealth by industry, temperance, frugality and honesty, but spend all their time looking for the royal road that will enable them to attain the ! desired goal without sacrifice or ef- Consequent- fort on their own part . , , ly, they go through life dragging af-! ter them a load of debt and obliga tions that criDV)les their indenend- ence and makes of them servile,cring- ing creatures who cannot stand up ; boldly and look the world in the face because they have not a dollar m their nocksts and the independence that goes with it. It does not require superior cour- j age or virtue to be economical. Econ-; omy is sausneu witntne ordinary en ergy and efforts to the ordinary mind. Economy means to do with out some little thing today, so that ! we may have something greater and ! better in the future. Let us look back for ton years over ; the life of the spender. How easily he could have saved a dollar each week, without depriving himself of j one single comfort or pleasure. Had i he done so, his bank account would now amount to $559 plus the inter est. No matter how small the irn come, a portion of it should be re ligiously saved. To the spender I say: Begin now todav. at once purchase inde- , , ... i i, slavery by starting a bank account. If you cannot spare $5, start it with $1. If you cannot spare a whole del lar. be-rin it with ten cents, and be fore another year rolls around you will know how good it feels to have a real bank account. $100.oo "p-ikl "l,v"DrS?lWHp for an v rm.nt case of Grippe or acute Cold that a cent box of Prevent ies will j not break..
