Tho estabUth-raentof such a State Institution would mean that It would have to be for whites and blacks alike, and the Legislature Is going to be slow, in making the necessary appropriation for a reformatory.

I TRACIS 171 COUNCIL REMOVING THE uiNDMARKS. "Cursed be he," saith the Law, "that rernoveth the landmark." This Is a plea, nay, a plaint, for the stability-of whiskers.

There is a realm, a. forest, a nodding area of palpitating hirsute tendrils upon which the hanq" of fashion is the fundamental sacrilege of things thatiare and have been. As the ech of ivn axe In the primeval forest touches sensibility upon the raw, so does the rasp of the razor through the wilderness of a beard change the face pf nature and incline to long lament? for a friend that has gone. We should think that old association, a feeling of self-respect, a love of themselves as constant companions would deter the havoc which men make of their appearance when on impulse they yield themselves Jo the tonsoriaE snickersnee. Might as well had a man change his name and deny hi.

paternity. No less Is he another man when he drops his beard. 'He enters perforce upon a period of readjustment We regard him in a different llpht.fjudge him by different1, standards, remember him If he had our admiration with regret and look forward to his future with misgiving. Have you ever known a kind, gentle, learned patriarch with a prophet's beard to whom you looked up with veneration and met him afterwards slick and smooth and MilTering from fatty defeneration of the upper Up? Can he ever be the same again? Is the fashion that has betrayed him ith the whisper of conceit worth the candle? This Is a serious thine Nor would we be understood as Insisting Upon beards. rnp8taches.

Imperials, hops or burnsides. Whiskers were made for man an if not man for whiskers. Each individual Is of right master arbiter of his sfyie of beard. It would be cruel to cover classic features wjth a bristUng cheaveau de friese, as it would beffolly to jex-pose a sunken cheek or protuberant wart for" the privilege fof barbering like a Bryan. Our complaint is for Let the thing'stay as it has been accustomed to grow and be fashioned.

This Is a duty which the man owes to the community which has accepted him largely upon his face. To his face may create a panic; It ofteni gives a shock; which sentiment cah 111 survive. We know, of-course, that In whiskers as In the pursuit of livelihood each man must find Therefore wo have no cavil with a period of experimentation, say to twenty-flve years of.iage. Up to that time the average man can fall back upon the plea that; "boys will be boys." But he must settle to his duty, to his face as well as his community. Afterwards we would fijf him with his choice and make it al misdemeanor to shave if he has 'em and not to shave If he hasn't 'em The sacrvd-ness of a choice of whiskers we would make as binding as that of a wife: "for better, for worser till death do us part.

Fickleness: to hJs hlraat.Fcheme Is as disconcerting as dalliance' with a court for the purpose of casting' off an old and taking on a new Let khe law say: it plainly: that no man may divorce Tilmself from his beard. Of late years there has been constant ravage In oily woods of whiskers. Strange and unfamiliar visions spring upon us; around every corner.

The barber spreads his mouth from ear to ear; In smug satisfaction. We are constantly having to be re-introduced. We see one time sober-spirited men of Substance and dignity kicking up their heels In youthful pranks, where formerly their beards had held them down; to paths of rectitude and wisdom. Smooth faced boys turn out to be old-time There is a blatant, almost an Indecent Juvenescehe where once there was a grave and reverend seniority. f- The abuse has.

i I Editor Roscower Vindicated. Goldsboro Headlight. We hear a lot about the man wh would steal the money from the dead man's eyes, and of the scoundrel who; would rob the widow and orphan, but these historic personages are the verl-J est babes in the school Of criminality when compared to that bunch of black-hearted villains who -stole tho funds contributed for the succor of the sufferers from fire and earthquake In San Francisco. We have not pow4 ers imagination to coxceive Just the kind of punishment sufficiently horrible for them. I When in stricken San.

Francisco during July we exposed; the mlsman4 age merit of the relief funds, and the Prevailing graft and plunder among some of the officers of the Red Crosj Society. We were threatened" with criminal proceedings by (these whol-f sale; grafters unless our charges wero substantiated. Our exposure came Iik4 A thuderclap from a clear sky among the high-salaried thieves, especially that a Southern man had the cpurag-i to '-blase the way" for the subsidized San Francisco press, which, after see- ing the Justness of ouri exposure by pressure of the populace; continued to fire i hot-shot Into the "red-tape" or-j ganlzation. which gave the thousand of poor refugees, camped out In thtj public parks throughout the oevas-f tated city, temporary relief, as somi of the rascals were turned out. We have kept in close touch with the; refugees ever since and now have again come to the conclusion that other rascals have been turned in Even the mayor of San Francisco, the socalled worklngman's friend, was Indicted last Thursday by the jrrand jury on five different counts pertaining extortion.

Although millions have, been sent to the relief committees the worthy refugees have received very little aid. and now as the rainy season has commenced they have issued or- ders for each occupant of the wooden shacks, erected In the public squares with relief money fromi all oveX the country, to pay 36 a month rent without light, fuel or other conven, iences, or be ejected. No Better Tlian Ignorant Negro Who i Operate a Bllnd Tier. Stat esville Landmark. The Charlotte News has been wagt Ing war on the doctors who write liquor prescriptions without, limit and the fact that these 1 prescriptions are written recklessly ty Charlotte and! Mecklenburg doctors is shown by the Tact that anywhere from 1.000 to 1.500 prescriptions are filled In Chart lotte every week and In the course of its argument against this sort of business the News quotes the follow Ing from Dr.

Parrott. a prominent physician of KInston: 1 I "I believe, and I say with fore-, thought, that fen-gallons pf liqupr wpuld meet all the annual require ments a medical way.J for the Stat of NPrth Carolina. It fls absolutely unnecessary to prescribe except for the aged, and to-those previously ad dieted to Its use, and then not' in every instance. jf The Landmark has, heretofore quoted the statement of the States-villa druggist of Ion experience, who said that no druggist who conscientiously observes the laws would sell 310 worth of liqupr In a year. That these statements are correct no man who Is familiar with the matter will undertake to deny.

The truth is the Charlotte druggists and Charlotte and Mecklenburg doctors who are writing and filling liquor prescriptions at the rate pf 1,000 to 1.500 at week are. 98 per cent, of 'em. wilfully and wantonly violating the law and they know it. They are no better than the Ignorant negro who operates a blind tiger. -and while they may be prominent citizens, Presbyterian elders and deacons, Methodist stewards.

It seems he had been In the United States army and there learned the use sof the high grade rifle which he used. It is another Illustration pf the folly pf the government in enlisting troops. i A Reformatory Impractical. Greenville Reflector.

Up to date Mr. Roosevelt's prosecutions have not helped the people a dollar or denied liberty to a big violator of the. law.

Fayetteville Observer. i When Mr. Cleveland; in 1893. whipped through Congress the unconditional repeal of the Sherman silver purchase law, and paved the way for the establishment of the gold standard, we took occasion ito say that the next move of the money power would be the demonetization ipf gold and tho substitution of diamonds or platinum as! the money standard. For, if the constitution could be violated by the demonetization of silver, it could bo violated to the extenf of demonetising gold.

We have frequently repeatea this proposition as thejnew discoveries in gold mines and in the cheapening of the process of mining caused gold to depreciate in value. It was only on Friday that we had occasion to repeat our well-worn proposition. The very next day we received our copy of the New York Commercial (an organ of the money power), and In that issue was an article headed, "Says Gold Depreciation Presages a World's Crisis," in which that which we had stated as an extravagant "outcome of the greed of the money power Is coolly proposed by Professor Norton, of Yale, who also is an actuary for a Wail street concern. Nay. I Professor Norton's proposition Is far worse than a diamond or platinum standard of value, for that would at least be fixed, whereas his proposition Is a "tabular standard" adjusted, by the law-making power to the "needs of communities" for money In the estimation of those who control its: volume.

Tho Commercial begins its article as follows: "In an article written for the Yale Review, Professor J. Pease Norton, of Yale, who also Is an actuary for FIsk Robinson, of New i York, dlscusse? The Depreciation of old." He declares that notwithstanding the defeat of William Jennipgs Bryan as a presidential candidate ln 1896. a victory has been won for Inflation "la the strange unraveling of tangled skeins, financial and political." he writes. lt is slowly becoming apparent that, by a chance xf nature or an act of God (according to the Democratic platform of 1904). Mr.

Bryan, although defeated, has gained the victory for inflation, but without the honor, and that the advocates of a stable standard gold have gained the honor of victory, not only empty, but with a Now. that Is a very neat compliment from this goldbug to? the wisdom of Mr. Bryan and his wljd-cat adherents (including the humble But the learneyi professor does not propose to make sweet use of the adversity which cheap gold: has brought to his kind. The Commercial, after copious extracts from Its scientific discussion of the subjeet by Professor Norton, winds up with the following quotations from his article in the Yale Review, which, as the will see. include the astounding propositions that the depreciation pf gold shall the met by (1) government ownership of gold mines! (2) by government taxation of gold, so as to-keep its supply and (3) by "abandonment of the metallic and the substitution the "tabular? standard" fixed by the law-making Says Professor Nortpn: rThe reason why no serious crisis developed In 1903-1904 is probably due to the fact that; prices did net fall, as is usual In a depression period, he says.

The! level of prices was maintained by reason pf gold depreciation, in this way the effects pf depreciation tempered the depressing influence of slackening trade and the results of over-speculation. Consequently, the Industry i of the country has not been tested by a severe crisis since "As in 18 49-1857. so the Inflation which began in full In 189 must continue until the statistics of gold productions begin to show signs of a decreasing rate of Interest due to the Increasing cost of The employment pf slave pr coolie labor in operating the mines, as In South Africa, may, of; course, prolong the depreciation. "The distribution throughout the world for low grade mines is far more extensive than for high-grade properties. Merepver, the whele Industry Pf gold dredging on land Is still In Its Infancy.

On the side of gold depreciation are the Increasing skill and Ingenuity of every engineer, chemist and Inventor In the United States and In theworld. As the pf production falls, prices and Interest rates must rise. If the Industries pf the countries of the world are to be subject to so great a source of disturbance, the problem may soon require governmental control. "In this connection; It would appear that three courses are' available, alkregulating the production and tend-Ingo keep the standard stable: (f) Government ownership of tlic gold industry. 2 Government tax levied as a sped tie doty on every ounce of gold produced, adjusted In amount so as to produce lability by limiting output.

(S) Abandonment -of a metallic standard, supplemented by- an extensive and adequate clearing system, ad-Jnsred to the needs of communities In their exchanges, local. Intra- and International as to place, and to varia tions In discount rates by a system of deferred Hearings as ito time. It Is probable that; as nations and legists-tnres are the Latter rem edy wonkl bo the simplest and most In 1792, Mr.f James Wilson, of Pennsylvania, who jihad signed the Declaration of Independence and Justice of the Supreme foourt, came Nortli Carolina to v)sit Judge Iredell, and while at Edenton died. He was burled there and until a few week ago State! permitted his body to lie there in an obscure grave. Though he an eloquent man, a brave soldier, and an able lawyer, little or nothing was heard of him for the more thart an hundred, years that he was buried; in Edenton.

Suddenly he becomes a man of note and a man of war is dispatched to Norfolk to bear hir body; back to Pennsylvania in. state and a high monument is to be Erected to; his memory and hU name is to bej rescued from oblivion. Why this sudden interest in this forgotten jurist? I The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot thus explains: "Just a few! weeks ago Mr. Roosevelt, in an address delivered at Harrisburg. took occasion to reinforce an appeal in favor of Nationalism by Quotations from Wilson, and to laud his character and example as worthy of perpetuation.

The time had come when the ashes of the neglected great could be turned to political account. There was need of authority on which to' base innovations to which th3 words of Jefferson could not be stretched, and lo! straightway movement was set on foot to rehabilitate with the mold of public recognition the ashes and the dicta of th. illustrious publicist so long Ignored. Today his body goes with escort and ceremony, on man-of-war to find a new resting phice in Pennsylvania. A stately shaft Will record his geniiui and what It wrought, and from th shades of a century's oblivion James Wileon will ejnerge the prophet of a new dispensation the Justlfler of Mr.

Now watch for a Republican resurrection of Wllsonlsml in papers, magazines. and public speeches." WADE 1IAMPTOVS MONUMENT. The people Jpf South Carolina have unveiled a Wiagnlncent equestrian statue of Wad Hampton In Columbia. Next to Johnf C.

Calhoun he was South Carolina's most Illustrious son. and was one Of the bravest men who ever lifted hlsi lance In defense of his State. Before! the war. he ranked as a millionaire and Jived the life of a rich Southern; leader, devoted to outdoor life and fwas a man of knightly qualities. He fdied poor.

He hated nothing so mich as fawning upon power, dissembling, or commercializing action. No man hai lived to whom three higher tributes have been paid. Of General Hampton, this was written by Jefferson Davis: "Patriotic enthusiasm could present no grander picture than that of Gen. Wade Hampton, a fit representative man of the much ridiculed but living and beloved chivalry of the South, who. while looking through his glass during a cavalry battle near Petersburg, saw his: son Preston, who possessed of great personal beauty, much mind, and keen wit.

who had Just reached his 2 1st year, fail dead on the field and his brother. Wade, stoop over him and fall across his beautiful young brother's body. The bereaved father thought them both slain and unsheathed his sword, rode straight, not to receive their dying words, but for the hardest part of the battle, and fought with qll his mlnht in a hand to hand encounter and himself came out probably; the only division commander In the world to whom a like Incident has occurred with a deep rabre cut which accentuates rather than mars the noble contour of his face." 1 At the notable Confederate Reunion in 1901, Gen John B. Gordon paid this tribute to his comrade in arms: "I am standing in the presence of the very greatest man that South Carolina has produced in all her history. And I mean vain nattery; I use no unmeaning words when I say that, takino- him as a private citizen, as a soldier upon a hundred battlefields, as the here pf gi reconstruction worse than war, as 4 towering standing today In unparalleled might, or like the mountains of your own northern border with the very skies around his head and the past at his feet, without I one stain in his life, without the possibility of reproach.

I pronounce Wade Hampton the Chief South Carolinsn." Upon the unveling of the monument on Tuesday, Orever Cleveland, the only living expresldent. sent this telegram to the Columbia State: "By perpetuating the memory and career of Wade Hampton. South Carolina honors herself, the entire South shows fitting appreciation of the constancy and devotion of Its distinguished leader in time of strife and Its wise and sympathetic friend In the days of the pacification, while the nation is reminded of his splendid illus-traton of the best American traits." To have beep worthy pf these three notable eulogies, as Gen. Hampton was. shows that he deserves to rank with the Immortals.

Nearly all the evil In municipal government and the high prices charged for public utilities. Is due to the public service corporations. If every city owned Its public utilities, the people could better control their government. Public utilities would be furnished at cost, and the prysical and civic health of every community would be prompted. I 1 1 .1 The case- herein disorderly men attacked a Raleigh policeman occurred in a hell-hole in East Raleigh, But' the Raleigh authorities seemed content when fine had been Imposed and.

the hell-Hole thus located Is per-mitted to continue its course. MI am not a candidate fer the presidency and will netl be. says Ellhu Root. His virulence in the recent New York campaign, coupled with his long" record, would disqualify him. The negroes that have been dismiss ed from the! army are murderers or the sttielders 'of murderers.

The negro preacjhers farad editor ought to direct their appeals; to the troops to tell the Whole truth and quit 'shielding crime. There are many! law-abiding negroes who tWlll shield the criminal of their rice. I If thai principle obtains in the army! what hoo4 is there for the negrd li the iPcesident winks at such of criminals, how can hegro criminals be brought to Justice? The aegro troops were discharged be-causei they; ifomntiited murder sacked town, and offensively said: "What are ou going to do about it? We refuse to tell; on he criminals because they lare our! associates." Thf President did not disband the troops becatise they were negroes. He has "0 objection to negro troops, though- they ought not to be allowed in thiej army. The attempt to make him pack-down is well organized' and has akrong politieal basis.

If rhe negro leaders would.oouple their demand forrelnstatement-'ith a demand that the tfoopsjjgive eyldence that will convict the murderejj-s, their plea would not Involye official justification- for shielding criminals. The chief thing that stands in the way hot negro pj-ogress is that as a race most of Ithern shield criminals and do not frown down upon vice. In too many instances 4 returned convict is receiyed'ab qrie Entitled to honor and in to many places the negro woman whpsb lifel is impure does not suffer ostracism tier sex. Upon top of this private dereliction comes official determination to shield negro murdererslbji nero troops, and a demand that the President virtually approve such CollUsion witii crime by men sworn to obf the 'laws. As long as these things exist among the negroes, the race will not be entitled to place in the army, and the best men and women of thf race will be dragged down by thejcriniinal element and the large? element that is ready to condone any crime and protect the criminal, As long asla negro murderer is protected from punishment by negro soldiers ahd the President denounced by negro leaders' for demanding the execution pf lie-jaw; as long as negro girlst and inegiSuf women of Immoral Elvesi' assoeiatel fpn terms of equality withji negro girM whose parents are tryinjg to raise iihem up to lives of virtue: as longas- an ex-convict is hailed upon hisreturn as one for whojn the fattest calf is to be killed as 14n as these conditions exist with the'julk of the negro race, what hope Is there fbr betterment?
