Tuesday the farmers' free list i passed the Senate by a vote of 48 to to SO after a compromise offered by Senator Kern, of Indiana, which tukes fresh meat products out of the free list, except such as come from countries admitting certain American farm products free.

One of the most remarkable scenes ever enacted on the floor of the House of Representatives took place Wednesday when Chairman Under wood, of the ways and means com mittee, in replying to an advanced editorial of W.

THOUGHTLESSNESS. I! Is Possessed Many Forms and Moves in iaR8 Ways. The Senate passed the bill increas ing representation in the House from the several States from 391 to 433, notwithstanding numerous amend ments offered. One amendment, providing reapportionment in each State shall be made "according to the laws thereof," has caused much talk, as it was evidently intended to give the Republican Governor of Missouri authority to re-district that State, thereby causing a loss to the Democratic representation, but as the number is not increased it ii hard to see why the State should be Thoughtlessness is a well meaning blunder. It is often found within the make-up of loved one or friend, and for that reason it is hypocritical and peculiarly o". great danger. The friend does not know he possesses it, of course, which adds to the peril. It is no respector of persons.'' It turns on its owner as quickly and as fiendishly as upon any one else. Hiding behind good intentions, lurk ing just outside the circle of sun shine and cooin?: in the sweetest, most alluring strain it gets the op portunity to do damage and it fre quently accepts the golden chance to turn brightness into darkness, to make the sound of joy die aw-ay in a snueic ot anguish, to tear flowers from the path, to suddenly transfix the smiling countenance with hor ror, it glides sottly and unseen among the green grass of life, and, with small, gleaming, though un- perceived, green eyes greedily watches children at play, happy mothers singing over rocking cra dles, and contented fathers ereetinsr ittle ones with bearish hug and tenderly kissing their helpmates. Then, in the twinkling of an eye, without even the faintest rattle, it strikes. Like a bolt of lightning 4 4 . . irom a eiear sky it shoots. Some times it is only a shock, but at others permanent blight. There are rnes when the heart is only sad dened for a brief time, but there are omers wnen tne nearc sinners are torn asimdtr, and, quivering and bleeding, are dragged in the dust of sorrow sometimes m the mire of and the next moment there is scream and a thud; thoughtlessness throws off its disguise and grins hideously, while the parent's heart is torn into shreds. Thoughtlessly the mother has let the child play with matches, or has left the little one at home alone. Last week in West Durham thoughtlessness sud denly smeared its hand across a hap py home and left poignant grief in its wake. A mother, just as tender. as any other mother and with just as devoted a heart, thoughtlessly directed her four-year-old child to the bureau to get a dose of casloria The child obeyed directions, but in its innocence picked up the wrong bottle and drank poison. Death fol lowed. Of course, you will say that mother was a fool, and no other would have done such a thing. But she was not a fool. She was just thoughtless. No one else may ever do the same kind of act, but they will do other thoughtless ones, and some of them will be just as fatal. Are you in the thoughtless class? Wilmington Dispatch.

Mr. Underwood did state before a majority of the conji mittee at its organization that as hb was interested in the steel and iron business it would relieve him of em barrassment if the committee would at once take up that schedule and rid of it. But it was the judgment of the committee that the woolen schedule, the most iniquitous sched ule that had ever been put upon the statute books, should first be revised and that the cotton schedule should follow."

The arbitration treaty with France and England was signed by the rep resentatives of the different govern ments at the White House last Thursday. The Senate holds up the treaty because the committee on foreign relations were not present and because they were not consult ed. It is questionable whether the President and Secretary of State Knox have the power to negotiate a treaty with foreign governments without consulting the Senate com mittee on foreign relations. This treaty looks on its face to be giving too much to the other parties and the United States gets too little in return. Mr. W. J. Bryan states that his criticism of Chairman Underwood was based on a Washington dispatch to the Omaha World-Herald. It is a pity that Mr. Bryan did not make sure that the telegraphed report was correct before he WTote his edi torial in The Commoner censuring Mr. Underwood, and the people of the country will be slow to condemn Mr. Underwood for his course in the face of the positive statement made by him in the House of Representa tives that Mr. Bryan's editorial was false, especially when Mr. Under wood was corroborated by Repre sentative Kitchin, the Second North Carolina's talented and able mem ber. Messrs.- Underwood's and Kitchin's reputations are as good as Mr. Bryan's, and in this instance they will not be hurt by this unjust criticism. The conferees on the wool bill are Mr. Underwood, on the part of the House, and Senator LaFollette, on the part. of the Senate. Neither conferee seems disposed to recede from the position of either body; but it is to be hoped that a compro mise will be effected at ah early date and the bill go to the President for his acceptance or rejection.

Hardy is to go to the mgner courts tor settlement, all good citizens are interested in hav ing the rights of citizens in the mat ter of discussing court decisions or the administration cf justice in cen- eral, clearly marked and defined. It has been the impression all along that citizens had a right to express their opinion of either of the three departments of government, legisla tive, executive and judicial. Acting upon this theory, citizens have criti cised the Legislature, the Governor, and Judges of both the Superior and Supreme Courts, without being call ed to account Perhaps their criti cism has not always been just, but freedom of speech is necessary in a free government In a State where the judiciary, from Supreme Court J udges down to Justices of the Peace, must run the gauntlet of the ballot box., we iv.n-r extinct to ppp t ho A- cisions of courts criticised, in many cases unjustly, j et the remedy is not ADOPTS STRONG RESOLUTIONS.

If caying hope, of dying ambition and ! a citizen makes an unjust charge standing at the grave of love, have, against the courts, it will react upon pueousiy cried it, ana many a young mm; u ne tens the truth, the rem man and young woman, as their life boat was swept beyond the reach of outstretched hands of an old mother, to be tossed by the furious gale of scorn upon the roaring and violent ly tumultous sea of degradation, have wailed it. Thoughtlessness has blasted hope, wrecked happi ness, has destroyed life. It is pos sessed of many forms and moves in strange ways. It is of many guises and is treacherous because it is gen erally arrayed in the shining raiment of that which means to do right, which wants to help. Its chances are great; its victims many. But it can be conquored. The wife can put it under heel; the husband can shackle it. To-day, to-morrow and the next day the husband and wife can stop and think before letting the bitter word that arises to their lips go forth. They can stop and ponder before letting a fiery temper escape. And this same husband and wife can be more thoughtful of each other's comfort, of each other's happiness. They can be thoughtful enough, too, not to tempt the other to envy and jealousy, and, above all else, to dis content. The latter furnishes a fer tile field for the growing of weeds The wife who can smile through her wants, knowing that the husband cannot meet them, is going to be happier in the long run, and the man who will push aside some unneces sary pleasures so that the wife and children may have more is going to have his heart made brighter by more sunshine in the home. The young man and young woman must also be thoughtful. They must think. The turn of the tide is now. It costs nothing to think now, but it may cost untold mental anguish and physical suffering not to do so. The parent, too, should think for the children. Too often does the thoughtlessness of a parent dig a pitfall directly in front of the child. Tha thoughtlessness of a parent fre quently drags the child to the brink dy for the mistakes of public ser vants is to turn on the light. Should the courts take judicial notice of every unfriendly criticism uttered by citizens, their time would be taken up with contempt proceedings. Consider the task the Supreme Court of the United States would have in attaching for contempt all citizens who have criticised the Standard Oil and Tobacco Trust decisions. Or to narrow the process, suppose the Su preme Court of North Carolina should take notice of the criticism uttered by ex-Governor Aycock who said it needed three eood lawyers. which criticism has been repeated 1 ? 1 . i . ueiure a mixea mummae nere in Reidsville, with offensive emphasis? A principle is involved in the Hardy case, and it is to be hoped that the merits of the whole issue will be gone into in the higher courts. Of course Elder Hardy, ' holding the position he does, can do naught but appeal from a decision of suspended judgment that virtually holds a pen alty over his head for the future. Webster's Weekly. iTimson Hover In Corn and Cotton. Blind, Dizzy Spells. Wilmington, N. C. Mrs. Cora L. Ritter, writes from this place: "I used to have blind dizzy spells, and weak cold spells wrent all over me. Different doctors could not tell One must always take his climate into consideration in everything he dpes. Up in York county, Pennsyl vania, I found several winters ago, when traveling there at Farmers' Institutes, that it was the universal practice to sow this clover among the corn at the last working, and they found it there perfectly suc cessful. Here in southeast Mary land it has been found that this will not do, and here the clover is sown among corn in late August, and a small tooth harrow or cultivator run through. It is found, too, that the seed will grow without any prepara tion of the soil when sowed among cantaloupe and watermelon vines in August, or among the tomatoes that are largely grown here for canning. There is then sufficient shade to pre vent loss. Then as we come further south the later date must be observ ed and September and October are far better. I have seen this year a good stand of olover sowed among cotton last fall at first picking with no cultivation. Once in North Caro- That the Farmers Union of North Carolina rings true in the matter of better education, is shown by the strong resolutions, published below. tnat were adopted at the recent State Convention held in Salisbury Your committee on education asks leave to submit the following report First. We feel that the union has cause to rejoice over the fact that it has been helpful in widening and deepening an interest in industrial and technical education in our State. Our union holds that farm boys and farm girls have an indisputable right not only to education in the general branches of the ordinary curriculum. but to the specific instructions that will fit them to excel on the farm and in the farm home, and enable them to live in greater comfort, in tellectual enjoyment and in greater wealth. We hold that education properly directed will accomplish these things; and call on the mem bers of the locals and on the county organizations to strive mightily to place such an education within the reach of every North Carolina child Second. By the aid of our union. a law enabling each' county that so desires it, to establish a farm life school, was framed by the last legis lature. Two counties have already taken advantage of this law and several other counties are now wag ing campaigns to establish such schools. We ask this convention to enjoin all its officers and members to join heartily in these campaigns and put these invaluable schools on a permanent basis. We also recom mend that this convention re-affirm its belief that all rural schools should teach the fundamental principals of good farming and domestic science to our children, and urge its mem bers in each county to see that this is done. We also urge that room be made in our schools for these sub jects by such economy of time in other subjects as will leave time for these branches that are so vital to young people who are to live on the farm, and that in whatever subjects it be possible, text-books especially adapted to rural needs be used. Third. We recommend as the sense of this body that every eifort be made to employ for the instruc tion of our children the very best equipped teachers that can be found, and that salaries large enough to command such teachers be paid. Fourth. Since under our school law the county superintendent of schools can either make or mar the efficiency of our schools, we recom mend that this officer be employed for the whole of his time; that he devote his entire strength to this office, and that if possible he be a trained professional teacher. Fifth. Recognizing that compe- tent teachers are needed for the teaching of agriculture in our rural life schools and in common schools, we recommend that the institutions which are fitting such teachers be authorized to give them free tuition, provided they obligate themselves to teach for at lea3t two years. Sixth. We ask that our school officers and our members heartily co-operate with the United States government in it's conduct of corn clubs for our boys and of canning clubs for our girls. Seventh. The value of scientific and insensive farming, as taught in farm life schools and agricultural colleges, has been fully demonstrat ed this year in the general drought that has prevailed throughout the state, good crops ' being the result where these methods have been em ployed. We, therefore, commend these practices to the farmers of our State. H. D. Edgerton, Chm. R. L. Little, Sec'y. P. E. Shaw. NUMBER 32. A Parable on Boys.
