We 'have before us the brief of the Commercial organizations ot Kantcrn NorMi Caroliija submitted to the Inter State Coiiunene Com missiuu, which were filed by Attor ney .1. II. 1' ishbai k and Sei retarv M H Heaman. It is a very able and complete I.resentntiou of the position of tin Shippers of K,ist,-ni North Carolina, and satisfactorily answers all nriiii- inents ot the in i j r ginia l ilies as n. i.id.- and -his the 'ir of Ka-'-equal tiolis of ern North Carolina to freight rates with other the country. The brief enters into an analysis of the rates between the uliio Hiver crossings and North Carolina as compared with the rales between the Ohio river crossings and the Vir ginia cities and shows the apparent discrimination as between the two section!!. Thp rates into North Caro lina would he greatly increased with reference to North Carolina, while those to the Virginia cities would remain the tame, Tlw increase in the rate tedhis stuff being ns much as K5 pertiit. The) rates lire, eiven In hiith tiiiipfn with the H i tf oren t In Is unit the increases to Wilmington no er Norfiflk. The .brief calls attention to the discrimination which has existed fur years and the attempt of the ship pers of Eastern North Carolina to remedy them without effect. Atten tion is nlso called to the fact that the distance and the volume of busi ness as compared with the Virginia cities an dto North Carolina points j are in favor of the latter, and there-1 fore there is no justification for an increase ot rates to points in this itate. .

The old fashioned farmer believed in raisinir bis living and eating what he raisi-d.

Recently one par ty expressed the opinion Ihat they were due I 1 the fai t that we are cut ting dow n our forests, and there are not sullli ient obstacles to break Un wind, and over an open country they travel unimpeded, and gather strength as they go. until they spend their force in striking obstacles such, as bouses and barns, and patches of woods, which break them up. Another parly advanced the opin ion that the weather conditions are changing, and that these tornadoes are a matter of course, and must be reckoned with just as we reckon wilh epidemic or diseases. Another party suggested that the world is getting further from God. and that He Is using these things to cause us to think of Hint. All of these suggestions may have something to do with tornadoes, and it is well to give them thoughtful consideration. Certainly we should rat for our forests, for unless we di pretty odd we will not have sufflrj nt lum- br to supply the demand ir bulld- THE WILSON TIMES iu purples, .-viready the best of the , v.rsin limber has been used up and' 01.lv short leaf pine on be tound The best p:ue uow comes from Geor gia! aud the southern slates and 1 here is 1111.. h importation of tim ber where a few years ago North Carolina manufactured and eiported a great deal.

It was so with the I'haroahs. when iln-y wi uld not let the ihildreii oi Israel go. It was so with Sodom and Conioirah when He destroyed those ciiies on a-1 cunt of their wicked ness. He has caused the destnii lion of nations because tlic forgot Him nlid turned to evil rather than right ousuess. He certainly made the world and the people in it. Nearly everyone admits that, it matters not what sort of process He employed in ihe making. He certainly would no! have anything thai he could not con trol, and being infinite in all things, he knows all things and controls all things, though we may not be able to understand bow He does it. Therefore 110 man should fly in the face or ilesirov Ihe laws of God hut on the other hand he should go In God in prayer, and thank Him tor the many blesines t lint He has In siuw ed. and show some appiciia tion for life and health and strength in perform our daily tasks and cnii.y those things which God has so abundantly provided. The man who cannot look around Hiin and see God in everythiiit;, and the miracles that are being perform ed every day. and then not under stand that God is directing the af fairs of men and the world, is of short vision and poor understanding. Think how perfect everything is, and how imperfect the ways of man? Supposii a man had the power to make the sun rise and the world turn over, the whole thing would be out of gear iuside of a week, and we would all he dizny until it stop ped, and then the sun would burn us up. and it would all soon be over, and evolution and revolution would all cease and the little protoplasms. i,nd lite nils would die. In nt her nmds it matters not what the modernist or the 1 uiiiiameiilalist thinks of it. God is behind it all. unit to Him should be given all Ihe glory and the honor and the praise, and love.

THK ItEMOt ItATIC OWUNTIOX lly the slim majority of one vote the Democratic platform was saved Ihe disggraee of carrying in it a ref erence to the Ku Klux Klan. It would have been most unfortunate to have mentioned the Klan for sev eral reasons. In the Hist place a national party representing all classes and all fac tious should not be the judge as In whether a certain faction should have the right to exist. Si condly, the peojile of the sev eral communities with all the power that the law and their sovereignty gives them is able to settle those questions tor themselves. Thirdly, involved in the creed of Ihe Ku Klux Klan is a nuest ion ns to the right of certain religious bod ies to worship God after the dictates of their own heart, a basic and fun damental part of the constitution. 10 raise tins n near 1011 in the cou tj,.s ad that should never he done, it has been found by experience that when the church interferes with the state, and the state interferes with the church there Is always trouble. mid real statesmen ' have realised long ago that If peace is maintained they must be kept separate. The Klan of course raised the is sue retarding religion, bat the Klan demonstrated 1 11 a 1 of ii ha.s to government ihat it has plate in the order and the poor sin cess achieved, aud the short life it lived is due to the wars that it made on certain religious bodies has has to- geiher with an effort to interpret the laws of ihe country W'bv kirk anything that is dying? Let it die in peace. The platform as evolved is very democialic in its provisions, and by that we iinaii. that it gives the peo ple the largest measure of authoritv at.d recognize their rights in all undeilakiiigs. 11 is sufficiently pro gressive and should meet the wishes of all those who desire a liberal form ot . guvor,i.uuenu . ( 4... , The platform begins as it should do with an eulogy for Woodrow Wil- 1 son who has done more for the world than any man since ihe (iaye ot George Washington, who niade it . possible for America to he the beacon light of the world. The si coin! clause repeats the ha- ( si- of 'be pi inciples of the Demo ciatic party. "Enmil lirhts to all ami special privileges to none." In this it is directly opposed to the Repuh 11. a 11 party which seeks to give spe-. ial iiiiiilcns to those who can pay for them, with campaign funds, with ii... 's-u.Hioe thai t ihe paitv i3 successful at the polls they will fret their nionev hai k in special privi leges. Look at the lioheny Interests 1 ami the protected manufacturers of the countrv, who get theirs back through the operation of a protect ive tariff. The next paiacrap:. .'eitie-ts American people 10 compare records of the two parties, and record of the Democrats is most th. the the 1 en-' viable. Look at Ihe chau'ie which ha- been made in the tariff, in the inonitiiiy affairs of the country un der the Democrats. How the couu tiy has prospered under the R.inn :. lleserve svtun. and the money power has been transferred from Wall :'.t. to the several com In 11 Hit les where it belongs There has been no panic in this country since the DemiMiais changed the mriencv system, and we have fought the ureaii-n war in the world. which could never have been tiimnced un der the old system. If Mr. Wlison had been re-elected he would have slipped down Ihe inflation, or punr- lured Ihe ban griidua lly very much as a balloon is allowed to come to the earth slowly without bumping the occupants, and the countrv and its people would not have felt the deflation, which was 11 necessity, as I much as they did. Again, if Mr. Wilson had been re eleoied. the country would have heled the European nations get on their feet and they would have heeli happy and more contented by now, and they would have also a far bet ter opinion of America, and they would have been in better shape to take our surplus crops nt grain and cotton, and there would not be the pr. s, nt depression among the agri cultural classes of the country, be cause a market would have been pro vided for their products. t'nless credit is provided for men and nations they cannot buy and how could it be expected that the European nations would have the ability to buy unless we had given t Item the credit. This could have been arranged as it was during the war, and they would have had the money to purchase goods, and the rise in ihe price of our product!? would have enabled us to make a profit by selling them on a credit, l! will have to he done anyway he lore Europe is on its feet. That Is , what Ihe Dawes plan contemplates, why not do that just after the war was over, so that ill the Hush of vic tory I hey could have gone forward, with hope and determination in their breasts? The Democratic party holds out hope to the farmer and will do all in its powr to place the agricultural In terests as well as the industries of the country on a solid and substan tial hasis. Eastern North Carolina and this Male are in the throes of a fight for its life on the freight rate question , nlid ihe following plank for the plat 1 form will bo appreciated with espe cial rot'irence to the national Influ ence of the party through which North Carolina hopes to secure its just deserts. "The sponsors for the Ksdi-f illu ming act at the time of its presenta tion to Congress staled that it had for ils purpose the reduction of the cost of transportation, the improve ment of service the bettering of la bor condition, the promotion of peaceful co-operation between em ployer and employe and at the same time, the a'.,ur:tiice of a fair and just return to the railroads upon I heir investment. "We nre in accord with these an nounced purposes, but contend that the act has failed to reduce the cost of transportation. The promised Improvement in service has not been realized. The labor provisions of Ihe ad have proven unsatisfactory In settling differences between em ployer and employes. The so-called recapture cluiise bus worked to the advantage of the strong and 1ms been of no benefit to the weak. The pro nouncement In the act for the de velopment of both: rail and water transportation upon our inland wa terways has not been encouraged, and limitation of our coastwise trade i threatened by the administration of Ihe act. It has iinnuecessarily :iiterfered with the power of the slates to regulate purely Intrastr'ate transportation. It must therefore, be so written that the high purpose which he public welfare demands mtiy be accomplished. "Hailrond freight rales should be u readjusted as to give the bulky basic, low priced raw commodities, such agricultural products, coal ami ores the lowest rates, placing the higher rales upon more valuajile and less built manufactured."

IS EXTOLLED BY ;i SERMON TO THE WOMEN Forceful Message in Which Mr. Hani Urged the Women to Stand by the High Stand ards of W omanhood as is De scribed in the 31st Chapter of Proverbs, the Thrifty, Capable, Faithful Wife. Rev. M. F. Ham delivered an un usually forceful mid meaningful sermon yesteiday afternoon at Ihe tabernacle to the women. No men were in the audience, lint there was a tremendous crowd present, made up solely of women. Air. Ham using passages from the Bible drew two vivid pictures ol women, the worldly woman, who I from time immemorial has caused I trouble, and the ideal woman as pic- I lined in the illst chapter of I'm verbs. This latter woman is indiis- i trious. thi ifiy and a perfect help mate. The first woman is a liability ' and a danger. .Mr. Ham declared it takes more than beaut ll'ul clothes and a heauti I fill line to make a woman. A inati wants his wile to be a companion: an intelligent, sensible being with whom he can discuss tin- affairs of life. Hi wants a helpmate not a doll. I In discussing courtship, love, mar I riage and the home the preacher said that the success of all these be gins with salvation. .If you start on right with salvation you will have no trouble. There'll be ml dlvor : If you marry right. And in bringing ! up your children you should help ' them to he able to choose right Times have changed and the girls of today cannot pick up a hook wlth ' out gelling hold of something that used to be censored. The moving pit ' lures of today are full of immoral : pictures, and the young peoph should be guarded from these evil in fluences aud assisted in being able to start life right. The first essential in choosing a mate is in distinguishing between love and lust, l.ove is on a firm Inundation that will successfully weather the storms of life, but lust i is tickle and leads only to misery. The Bible nowhere contains a warning to women against rnii, but again and again it warns men to be ware of wicked women. This is be j cause the woman is the. stronger I morally of the two and temptations do not assail them like thei- do men. 1 Unscrupulous women nre a danger- bus evil and men fall victims to their wiles. ' God wanted the best in the moth ers of the world as lie knew theirs ' was a most reasonable position, thus it is tbut there are the rigid stand ards for women and men demand a higher standard for their women folks. And the wife has big respon sibilities as a hoiiieinalier. A man wants to find at home a haven of rest from the cares and anxieties ol , the business world. It does not take , money to make a happy home, but character. Domestic troubles hurt a man and keep him unfit for his battle in business. A man wants a woman for his ! wife with whom he can exchange an intelligent Idea, a sympathetic, help ful, loving partner. Mr. Hani spoke of the duties of motherhood. He said that it was most wicked for any person to speak sneeringly of motherhood or expect ant motherhood. After children are In the home the mot her should stay nt home and care for them. The children have rights and these should not be miposed on. They have tile right to the love and care of a mother, to proper training. And the mothers should give this to them rather than neglect her children for social duties. The evangelist declared woman furnished the emotional element, man the intellectual. This emotional nature being uppermost in woman causes her to be tender and affec tionate In her ideal state, but if she does become a had woman It makes her the very worst, as the emotions are carried to extreme in this. Mr. Ham made a most eloquent appeal to the women of the country to stand firm for the very highest Ideals of womanhood. OMAHA RKIY TO WKU'OMK MOXS CM B Omaha, July 3.
