The worth of a man may be fairly well determined by the worth of the things in which he interests himself. The Asfaieville Citizen sees. the need of so revising the Democratic plan in North Carolina, of organiza tion that deadlocks in conventions will he impossible. Why not give .-the South Carolina primary plan a trial? There is nothing easier in this world and nothing more useless than to say to one in trouble "cheer up," when it is unaccompanied by help ful service. It is about the same as telling a starving creature to be fed and yet to give him nothing to eat. ? ? v :- i Recently in New York ? the police dumped into the lower bay vast tities of i.use weights and measures. If the same treatment had been ac corded the men who used the arti cies what a gap would have been made in the business ranks of that city. No pessimist ever contributes any thing to the building up of his city; all his speech and actions have , the contrary effect. It is the optimistic man?'the man of high ideals and large vison, of cheerful spirit and en couraging work that does things. It is to him any town is indebted for whatever progress it makes, ilt is not the possession of great Qualities that counts, but the right use that is made of them. A certain old book says that "a^ living dog is better than a dead lion," which is hut a quaint aud terse way of saying that a person of average ability who does his part is of far more value to the world than the man of great ability who does nothing with it. While the recent prize fight was pending and while it was in progress many daily papers were guilty of a ludicrous inconsistency. For on one. page they served up daily a full and nauseating report from their special correspondents of all the details of the affair, while in their editorial columns they had articles con demning the affair in the strongest terms as an outrage to humanity. The lynching at Newark. 0., was not an initial violation of lav/, but the re/suit of defiance of law by a considerable number of the citi sens of Licking county. The lynch ing resulted from a determined ef fort of certain men to prevent the people of Licking county from main taining prohibition within the limits Of that county. This is the view of the lynching taken by Grit, and it is the correct view. . 'Reverence for -law is sadly want ing in this country. It is not alone mobs w.ho are guilty of it; although ?their action may be the. most glar ing because so brutal?'-''But'"-every executive who refuses. >;to- enforce law, every official who refuses to do his duty, and every- pettifogger who manages to twist, and./distort Lhe Saw to let criminals'' escape is equally guilty, and ^probably deserv ing of most censure. Every now and again some of the professors of the University of Chic ago give to the world what they con sider a new religion or at least a new variety of Christianity. What the world needs is not something new in the shape of relgicn but a .better living of what ? it has now. if the gap at present existing be tween the profession anl practice of most people were closed up they and society would be in far better con dition. The Progressive Fanner says the whole fi:rm looks different when it is set off by a prettily painted farm home, and it seems to us that it must make a difference in the spirit of every member of the family. A ?pretty home inspires an atmosphere of pride and cheerfulness which will not give young and old a certain added dignity, but also make every body on the place do better work. Jf a farmer has a beautL'ul home ihe is likely to begin to improve his ?farming methods and quit any pid dling and shiftless ways that would ?be out of keopiug with his .house. (Every decent, law abiding person. . nd (*iat means the great majority, cuusl ardently hope that the nation baa endured the last disgrace of a 4?rize fight. Apparently the days of the prize ring are numbered. Oue cannot conceive of a more disgust ing and brutal spectacle than that of two men pummeiing each other Wack and blue, for the sake of the money that is in it. When two men tight because of some quarrel, then, ?however much we may deplore the act, some palliation may be made Cor it. But there is none for a prize ?ght or prize fighters. It is simply a brutal exhibition for money and to aatisfy the morbid, vicious tasics uC degenerate men. $1.50 .75 .40 A Menace to the Negro Race. The crime of Will Ellison, the Tampa negro, who crazed with co caine, killed three members of his own race, wounded two others, and also a policeman, and then commit ted suicide, an account of which is published on the first page of this issue, should, as The State says "serve to bring home to the negroes the danger to which the use of this drug exposes them. Measures to prevent , the sale and use of cocaine .. nic.e difficult of employment than is the regulation of the whis key traffic. The obstacles in the way of convicting the cocaine blind tigers in Southern States have been proved by the experience of the last few years to be very great. A drug gist conducting a legitimate traffic in hundreds of articles and an un lawful traffice in one can not he ap prehended with anything like the ease with which the illicit whiskey seller who deals in only two or three articles can be detected. The co caine habit is'snsidious anl its ap peal to the ignorant is powerful. "To build up a public sentiment among the negroes against the habit is a task beyond the reach of their white friends. Few negroes, com jaritively, are readers of newspa pers, and they are dependent, in the main, for information) upon jtheir preachers and teachers. Hundreds, thousands of these are good men, and the earnest and intelligent teachers and preachers who haVe the better ment of their people at heart should assume the work of continually warning them against the drug that is making such ravages in the ranks of the race." The hope of the negroes for pro tection from the cocaine and other vice?, as The State points out, "lies in their leaders, in the intelligent black man who commands the confi dence of the masses, and these should 'perceive the instant importance of their mission'to fortify their people against the cocaine menace. The Tampa tragedj', the tragedy of a negro quarter in a Southern State, beginning in a negro church, should habe the effect of a powerful and im pressive sermon to the colored peo ple everywhere, and it ought to be reiterated and reinforced in every negro church and schoolhouse." Who Is a Democrat? The New York Tribune, President Taft's chief organ says: "Champ Clark says he wants to see the Democrats win. If he is in earnest, he can assure the party's success by going abroad and keeping his mouth shut for about four months." This hit at Mr. Clark calls forth the following comment from the Richmond Times-Dispatch, a Repub lican paper that hasn't the courage of :its convictions: ''Mr.. Clark can hardly be expect ed to welcome party success if it is to be achieved only at the cost of such self-suppression. The Cou I stitution itself deprecates the in?ic ! tion of cruel and unusual punish j ments, even on politicians." The Columbia State says "the Democrats in the lower house of ? Congress elected ? Mr. Clark leader and they represent the tremendous majority-of the Democrats in the United States. If the Richmond Times-Dispatch has been endowed either by...nature or training with wisdom to advise the Democrats of thi? Republic, signs of its gift have been strangely lacking. Nevertheless it is one of those wearing the Demo cratic insignia on the lapel of its coat and therefore is of constant handiness to Republican newspap ers. Were .Mr. Clark and Democrats whom he represents to withdraw from active participation in party af fairs and deliver the party to The Times-Dispatch and the coterie who think with it, the arrangement would be promptly ratified by the New York Tribune and approved by old Tai't." The Probable Result. ?How much good, if any, results from the Pan-American conference being held at Buenos Aires remains to be seen. The prospect for any practical outcome is not very encour aging. Doubtless there will be some sentimental resolutions passed and some eloquent after dinner speeches made, but that will probably be the sura total of results. The fact is, and it cannot be disguised, that some of the Central American states are avowedly hostile to this country, and that several others are jealous and suspicious of its motives. Greatly as this is to be deplored such a feel ing is not unnatural. Small powers are usually suspicious of a great power, especially if that power over! shadows in every respect the total of the smaller powers. Then. too. differences of race, speech and cus-1 torn accenuate this feeling. Ue-| cause of these and other causes it ! is not reasonable to expect that the Conference will have much practical value. Doubtless in time the pres ent aloofness will disappear, but no nation can force it. To attempt it would work untold mischief. It is only by a better understanding re sulting from a freer and fuller inter course with each other that suspi cions are allayed and confidence pro moted. By and by the Latin-Amer ican states will realize that this na tion has no sinister motives in seek ing closer relations with them. There Is Much to Learn. From all accounts the average farmer in this country does not more than half rarni his land. That is. he does not get from the land more than one half of what he would get if the land were properly cultivated. It is said that the yield per acre of wheats, oats and other crops is not one half of what the European farm er .gets. Some may say that this is due to difference of climate and soil. But that does not account for it considering that in almost any dis trict in this land experience shows that a farm systematically and thor oughly cultivated will produce often I twice as much as the adjoining farm. The one remedy, .apparently, is to get b?ck to the land, have smaller farms and go in for intensive farm ing. This plan is being adopted by man}' Dinners w?th profitable i suits. Take the cultivation of corn, for instance. In the last few years great improvement has been made along that line, vvhich has increased the i yield more than doubie. Not long ago an old and very successfful far i mer told us that he had jusi begun to farm, although he had been farm ing for forty years. This was true, and he has yet much to learn.. Making a Mistake. The decision of the British gov ernment to send to Canada the Duke of Connaught as her new Governor General, seems to us a mistake. The object, that of strengthening the tie between Canada and the motherland, is from an imperial view praisewor thy, but it is doubtful if it will suc ceed. In fact it is liable to work the other way. The Duke is doubt less a good fellow and to a certain extent popular, but he is not cred ited with any democratic leanings. On the other hand the Canadians, though loyal to the crown, are a democratic people and are not likely to view with much favor the estab lishment of a royal court in Ottawa. Besides, the tendency of the civi lized nations of the world are ro more liberal and democratic govern ments, and Canada will hardly be a reactionary. She is located too uear the greatest and most liberal demo cratic government on earth to be anything but democratic herself. '?AlSMfC?LDl One-half Cent a Word Found Notices Free.
