The Under wood tariff bill which is now before the Senate, having recently passed the House unamended by more than a two-to-one vote, will have the most unique history of any tariff bill for more than half a century, by reason of having been passed unamended. Those who are well informed as to the situation in the Senate, are of the opinion that the bill will pass the Senate practically unamended. Heretofore when a bill is introduced by a Republican Congress a few of the items at least are in the interest of the public, but when the bill gets before a Republican House it is in the interest of the capitalists and manufacturer and against the inter est of the consumer or public. Then when the Republican Senate gets through amending it, it is indeed a full fledged robber tariff divested of every patriotic virtue. The present tariff bill is largely the work of Hon. Oscar W. Underwood, of Alabama, the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, and President Woodrow Wilson. Underwood is undoubted ly the ablest and one of the most patriotic men that has ever shaped a tariff bill in the history cf. this country, and his matchless leader ship and statesmanship are having a telling effect all over the country, as no industry has been disturbed by this bill which will substantially reduce the cost of living. It will give the people a "free basket" by which every American citizen who goes to the market and makes his purchases will do so without paying one cent of revenue for tariff. The bill is drawn absolutely and unqual ifiedly in the interest of the whole American people, and outside of the Louisiana Senators who are opposed to free sugar it is probable that every Democratic Senator and many of the Progressive Republican Sena tors will vote for it. Indeed, to op pose it would expose him as a tar iiti. fur the American people, as he would thereby be opposing their in terests. Iliat Pic'tire Before Your Bay. IVat and Dry Hap. A visit was once made to a certain home where there were two old peo ple. They had reared several boys but they were grown aid were far away. Ihe old peof e told the stranger that the boys had all gone to sea and were sailors The mother asked why it was that 1 er boys were sailors since they were -eared on the farm and far away fro: i any ships. The stranger was surp- ised at their being sailors, but couk' not answer the question. After a.-hile he was conducted to a room where he spent the night. On the walls of that room were pictures hanging, and among the number a fine picture of a large ship moving on the waters of a great ocean. Next morning the stranger asked the mother where she got that picture which was hang ing in the room. She told him that a year or two after her marriage i sailor passed through the neighbor hood and spent a night in their house and next morning gave them that picture. Later she placed it in the boys' room where it had hung for many years. The stranger said to her: "Now I know why your boys are sailors. They looked at that picture until they wanted to get on a ship like it and cross the great ocean You made them sailors by placing that picture before them." No doubt this was true. The life of many a boy has been changed and shaped by the ideas set before him We should be very particular and careful as to the company the boys keep and the books or papers they read. No paper which teaches wrong views of life should ever go into the homes of young people. No paper containing liquor advertise ments should ever be placed before the eyes of a boy. You cannot af ford to let such papers go into your home to be read by the boys. As they read those advertisements they see the pictures of men shipping li quor, the picture of iiio-a receiving and drinking liquor and it has a ten dency to incline them to that kind I of life. j Parents, be careful as to the pic- , tures wmcn come Pelore your boys.

The map shows that a popula tion of more than 46,000,000 is now "North Carolina is a good State to be born in," is a saying the na tives are so fond of quoting tluvt ! that when some men far awry come a ! into prominence they leal: to see if; he was not born "down home."

And George Gordon Battle, Senator O'Gorman's law partner, is said to be slated for United States District Attorney in New York, and snoihei Carolinian, Captain W. II.

More than 500 cities having a popu lation of 5,000 or more have banish ed the open saloon while nine states have state-wide prohibition. An interesting feature of the fight against liquor and one that may ultimately have a far reaching ef fect, is found in the Michigan legis lature, which has adopted a resolu tion requesting Congress to submit to the people of the country by referendum vote an amendment prohibiting the sale of liquor any where in the United States. The Anti-Saloon league, we are told, has announced .its intention of working for that proposition. We believe that if the sale of li quor in the United States is left to a I vote of the people strong drink will be banished and that the long-sought aim of the temperance people to make this nation a country of sober men will be accomplished. Greens boro News. GJ23 The School Houses. We are astonished to hear from a farmer in one of the most progres sive communities in the South that the principal of the school in his neighborhood has refused to let the Farmers' Union meet in the school auditorium. It is a pitifully narrow conception of the purpose cf a school house and church building to think that they are made only for the preacher and the school teacher. They are made for all the people- not for just two individuals among the people. Both the schools and the churches must become real com munity centers if education and re ligion are to triumph effectually. The church building should be open to every meeting for civic, so cial, or moral betterment; and the school house, belonging to all the people, should be open to any body of citizens for any purpose whenev er it is not in other use. In this en lightened and democratic age, it ought not to be necessary to have such a law, but if it is necessary, then every State should have a law compelling the committee to open the school house for any bedy of citizens requesting it for any lawful assembly. The Progressive Farmer. Leavenworth, Kan., May 17. James M. Goldsberry, seventy-two years old, arrived in Leavenworth to visit his father, Herman Golds berry, an intimate of the Soldiers' Home, who is 103 yeais old. The son. however, began drinking and was arrested. When arraigned be fore Judge Stewart Brewster in po lice court he told his age and ex plained the reason for being here. The doubting attendants were pre paring to remand him insisting an investigation as to his f anity should be conducted. "That's right, gentlemen," said the old man, "I came all the way from Nebraska to see dad, who is at the home." "And how old may your dad be? inquired the court. "Well, if he lives until next Au gust he'll be 104." Goldsberry unhesitatingly admit ted that his grandfather was dead, but that he lived to be 1C0 years old. Goldsberry was discharged. o.ris. r. f, John Fran! :rs. r-'ran:-: is Tlis Boy Go! Spaa&d.

Scott & Bowae, Bloomfield, N. J. 13-25 The Rural New Yorker denies the truth of the oft-repeated statement that the insane asylums are mostly filled with farmers' wives. In the last year only 9 per cent of the pa tients sent to New York asylums came from the country. We believe the Rural New Yorker is right, too. We have heard much of the poor farmer's wife worn out physically and mentally by overwork, isolation 1 and lack of diversion, and we know that many farm women have to work harder and stay at home more than they should; but we feel sure that there is much exaggeration as to the the hardships farmers' wives have to endure, and more as to the prevalence of insanity in the coun try districts. The next time you hear any one say that the insane asylums are mostly filled with farm ers' wives ask him for proof and see how much he really knows about it. The Progressive Farmer. While doing some shopping in one of our grocery stores last evening we chanced to hear a boy ask his fa ther who that man was buying the beans. "That is our editor," said the father. "What do editors live on," said the inquisitive little urchin. "Why do you ask that question," said the indulgent father. "Because I heard you say you had taken our home paper for three years and had never paid a cent for it." To save the father embarrassment we left the store, but it is safe to predict that the child got spanked when the father got him home.

She was not sick a day, nsver missed a meal, and to-day, her first at home, she said she did not feel the need of rest. "We started on Friday, December 13th," said Mrs. Scroggs, "but hoo hoos never bothered me." Mrs. Scroggs' son, Dr. Gustavus Scroggs, a prominent physician of this city accompanied his moiher on the trip. Mrs. Scroggs said she had but one regret.

The difficulty of getting a stand is perhaps the great est weakness in the soy bean. The reasons are that seed are frequently bad, but more often it is failure to prepare a good seed-bed or planting too deep. Test the seed' before planting, make a good scd-bed, and don't plant too deep, and the stand is likely to be all right. The Pro gressive Farmer, Chronic Coughs and Colds, Strong, vigorous raca and women, hardly ever catcli cold; it's only vbca the system is run dovn and vitality low that colds and coughs set a foot hold.
