With fire losses in’North Carolina running:up to the enormous sum of, $4,000 daily and $1,500,000 arinually-| State’Fire Insurance ‘Commissioner James R.-Young is making a State- wide appeal for the exercise of great- er care in the use of matches,the greatest,criminal against life and property.Mr.Young says that:by ordinary care this destruction could be reduced $1,000,000,or two-thirds.This wouldsave$2,500 daily and this takes into account’no expense,incident’to the maintenance of:firé companies.“By my count,”says Mr.Young,“21 per-sons fost.their lives.in North Caro- lina by.fire:last yedr,,.and'already, with only 11 days.ofthe new yeargone,I:have.seen.reports of three deaths from this cause.Is not the Saving of 14 or 15 lives worth while, to say.nothing of a million dollars ins property,?”>'.4 ‘These *figures,‘show that ‘there is” more destruction im North Carolina than.there is construction,.counting the cost incident ‘to,fire’protection. “To ‘add this to the loss,”.says Com- missioner Young,“would increase the amount to at least the value of all buildings erected in the,State:during the:year.’|The department would put an ef- fective check upon:fires.by making the community look upon:the:man who has a fire an offender rather than an unfortunate:It points to the Napoleonic code as fixing respon- sibility.upon the man visited by fire for damages’to his neighbors.This drastic rule is declared the real rem- edy..Of course,where an investiga- tion shows no responsibility,there is ho fixation of damages.The argu-Ment is made that 50 per cent of fires are the result of carelessness.The \loss by fire in France is one-eighth lthe loss in the United States.Two- thirds of the losses here are pre- |ventable,it is ‘said.The worst of- \fender is the match.|.Under the title,“The |Criminal| Match,”the despartment issues a cir- tcular in.which are’.contained the losses by the match.These figures lare being gathered by the insurance companies of the West,but only two- thirds of the companies are reporting.| iS jand the ‘exact figures are not known.é 1 |Hesre is the record as given 1911,the reports ires due.to the careless use | “In Se pte mber, |Show,523 f jis to be added the criminal careless- fness of smokers in throwing aside leigar and cigarette butts;and the criminal carelessness of those in jcharge of offices,business houses, jmanufacturing establishments and_/| jeyen private residences in permitting inflammable waste to accumulate on jthe premises.There is hardly a bus- iness establishment of any kind.in which there is not the grossest—-erim- inal negligence in allowing waste and inflammable trash to accumulate;and jin many homes the situation as bad,although the home is not expos- is led to-the same danger asthe busi-ness establishment.There is a law covering this matter and it should be jrigidly enforced.All of us are guilty of violating it on occasion and every jone of us should be punished for its violation until we Yearn to exercise care.The idea of punishing a man who has a fire,unless it is clearly iShown that it.is not due to his care- tlessness,is not bad.

When space is at a premium in this paper editorial’matter is sacrificed. This will explain to our good friend, Editor Gunter,of the Winston Jour- nal,the’delay in giving attention to his recent remarks directed to this paper.The Journal thinks this paper was upfair to Dr.Venable in the The facts that have come out since the University hazing show that the faculty had previously made a poor effort to suppress hazing;if any real effort was made:Since Rand's death, stung by merited denunciation ‘of its management,the faculty has ‘found the guilty parties who participated in a serious hazing last wmter,wvyhen a room occupied by fresnmen was fired into.It was a close call for a homi= cide on that occasion and it is not the fault of the hazers that nobody was killed.The faculty could do nothing then but now it is able to find out all about it.In an interview in the ‘Greensboro News W.R.Edmonds, of High Point,a former University student,says that ayrommittee of the student.body,previously appointed for the purpose,convicted:a ‘student of cheating:on examination.in -1910 and unanimously voted his expulsion} that’the tudent had_.influential ‘friends and at their msistence Dr, Venable ignored the student,body and reinstated the man -expelled;that since then there has been mutual mis- trust arid lack of co-operation between students and faculty.All of which); shows that.when some of,the stu- dents were trying to maintain the honor and.dignity of the University they were not upheld.No wonder there has been hazing and lawlessness at the University;and the faculty must take its full share of the blame.

Harvard,founded chiefly to educate clergymen,now gives to that profes-sion barely 2 per cent of her gradu- ates.Yale now contributes 3 per cent.

Weatherman,Republican’candidatefortheStateSenate.Mr:Reynolds .regretted that the house was not full of Democrats,but he quoted the Scripture which’saith despise not the day of small things and said he“would speak with as much grace and. yzood looks as if the house was full; that Jeff and Mutt,as he referred to himself and his competitor,had not been used to big audiences.but they were “askeered”of nothing except of each other..“The next Congress- man from this district.is now look- ing at you,”said Mr.Reynolds,which was true;for Mr.Doughton was look- ing on.Congressman Doughton is asplendidman,continued Mr.Reyn-olds.He said he had spent a night in Mr.Doughton’s home and he has a splendid home and a fine family. fould to God both of us could go to ‘Congress,he continued,but inas- much as only!one can go he had de-cided to take the place himself. After he had gone through~with considerable’contortiuns,Mr.Reyn- olds said the issues in the campaign are not Taft,Roosevelt or Wilson,but the platforms and records.of the par- ties,the people being the,judge and jury.There is,he argued,practical-7 no difference in the.platforms ex-cept on the tariff and he would en- _deavor to prove that no laborer,‘man- ufacturer or preacher,in fact nobody, could afford to vote the Democratic ticket.He read extracts from~“the ‘Democratic platforms of 1912,1892,1860 and 1856,claiming that the po-sition of the party had changed on the tariff.Then statistics were cited .to-show that the value of the corncropwasmoreunderRepublicanthan under Democratic administrations. Then the usual Republican argument was made that the Republicans have given the country pro$perity andhappinesswhiletheDemocrats brought low prices and hard times.Efforts to suppress the white slave traffic and all the good that has come to the country was appropriated for :the Republicans,while all the evils were charged to the Democrats.-In the matter of economy he cited the increase in pension appropriations by the Democrats and said Senator Sim- mons was asking.re-election to the Senate on the ground that he had se- cured big appropriations for the State and will be in position to get more ifréturned.Mr.Reynolds was ap-:..Plauded when he concluded. -.,Congressman Doughton was sented by Mr.H.P.Grier,Democrat- ic candidate forithe Legislature,as our present and future Congressman,a succesful man in every walkof life.Mr.Doughton esteemed it a privilege to give an account of his stewardship and‘an honor to be again named as the standard-bearer of his party in a district great in its manufacturing, farming,live stock and-other indus- tries;and greatest of.all in its citi- excellent manhood and womanhood.‘He is grateful for.the loyal support given him in Ire- dell two years ago,when he received 1,004 majority,a larger majority than the county gave any other candidate. In the Republican convention which pre- nominated his opponent less thanhalfthecountieswererepresented and the Republicans in Mr.Dough- ton’s senatorial district,composed of three counties,did not send a single representative to help name a candi- date against him.Even Mr.Reyn-:oldst own county was noz represent- ed in the convention which noménat- ed him,while all the counties in thedistrictwererepresentedinthecon- vention that nominated Doughton.InthefirstfewdaysofthecanvassMr. Reynolds had praised Taft and proph-esied his election,but since he had nothing to say on_the presidential situation..is :Mr.posenton asked support on hisownrecordandonthatofhisparty in Congress.A comparison of rec-ords is asked.The Democratic party is the party of the people;the Re- ublicans the partlege.The Republicans have~con-trolled the affairs of the country for 16 years.They had always ciaimed that a high tariff made the country,prosperous.But in the platform adopted in 1908,the pante which be- gan in 1907 being on,they promisedarevisionofFederaltaxation—promised to reduce the tariff.Didtheykeepthefaith?That is the is--gue. campaign to“¢éall Congress in specialsession-to revise the tariff.The Pres-ident is a good man,a patriotic Amer-“ican citizen,but he fell under bad in-fluence.Instead of toliowing’theadviceofLaFollette,Cummings:andBeveridge,to.defeat Cannon for of special privi-. The President promised in his, Speaker and name committeesin Con- gress favorable to tariff revision,hetooktheadviceofthespecial.in-terests,who claimed the party was under.obligation for campaign:con- ‘tributions,.-The result.was the Payne -Aldrich tariff bill,which re-sulted in the.repudiation of the ad-ministration at the polls and the elec-tien of a-Democratic House..ThePresident’s own State’elected a Dem-ocratic Governorby more than {100,-000 majority and 15.Democratic}Con-gressmen out of 21.While itis cus-tomary.to renominate an.officeholder|who has given any sort of ‘satisfac- tion,‘the President’State refused to endorse him for renomination,theNorthCarolinaRepublicans.repudiat- ed him;Mr.Cowles,former member of Congress from this district,and others were cited as now opposed tothePresident,while Taft.and.Roose- velt are repudiating each other,The Democrats are united and militant.Woodrow Wilson is the only man real-ly running for President;the others are simply running to.defeat each other.a A change of administration is need- ed,declared--Mr.Doughton,not only. to revise the tariff but to have a great national housecleaning.As a member of investigating committeeshehadbeenseriouslyimpressedwith the corruption and rottenness existing in all departments of the government. Senator Aldrich was right when he said $2300,000,000 a year could besaved-in thé.administration of —‘thegovernment. The Democrats promised ~certain reforms.They took the appointmentofcommitteesoftheHouseoutof the hands of the Speaker and elect- ‘ed the committees.In “reorganizing the House they effected a saving of $200,000 a year.The DemocraticCongress,called in -extra session, passed bills reducing.taxes on steel, wool and chemicals and the bills weresofairthatmanyRepublicansvoted for them.The President vetoed them because he didn’t know,he said, whether they were scientific,as his tariff board had not reported.’The President recommended taking the duty off farm products.-The Demo- crats said the duty on farm products was a fraud anyhow,so tar as bene- fit to the farmer is concerned,and passed the bill.Then to give the far- mer a benefit,they passed the bill re- ducing the tariff on farm implements; Taft vetoed it.He doesn’t want the farmers to have cheaper agricultural implements or cheaper clothing ‘and the agricultural States are avainsthim.The.Democrats passed a meas-ure providing for the election of Sena- tors by the people,made an appro-priation for good roads,created adepartmentoflaborandbestofall established agricultural stations,ap- propriating $3,000,000 a yéar to aid in teaching agriculture.That is therecordofthepartyanditwillbeen- dorsed.‘Mr.eynolds,said Congress-man Doughton,had criticised no ac- tion of his and dodged the record of his own party.Every Republican orator since the Cleveland administra- tion had talked about the Cleveland anic and yet President Taft says in his letter of acceptance this year that that panic began in 1890,which was two years before Cleveland was elected and four years before the Wilson-Gorman tariff bill was passed.Mr.Doughton’s remarks were liberal- ly applauded. In his rejoinder Mr.Reynotds said Mr.Doughton had done nothing.If he (Reynolds)is elected he will-carry out Republican policies.Taft is not an issue.His administration is a continuation of the prosperity of the Republican party.He had,he said, too fmuch sense to follow Doughton in -the Taft-Roosevelt fight.He charged on hearsay that Mr.Dough- ton had lobbied against a good roads bill.before the Legislature;and said if a house-cleaning is needed in the nation it is needed in North Carolina, where the Democrats have so long controlled.: Mr.Doughton’said ‘that all he re- called of the Raleigh rncident was that some sort of a proposition was pend- ing for a State bond issue for roads and he expressed disapproval of the Legislature issuing bonds for roadswithoutavoteofthepeople..Mr. Reynolds .had not said whom he would support for President.-He says Taftis‘not an issue but he is:trying to make Cleveland an issue,In closinghepaidahightributetotheDemo- cratic administration of the.State government as progressive,wise and economical,as worthy of support,and redicted the triumphant electign ofckeCraig.

Nothing more was heard of him ex- cept when he ran over_a neighbor’s chicken wire fence a short distance away.This was the last of the news- aper agent so far as his ‘career in Mooresville was concerned. Someé time ago Messrs.Z.V.Tur- lington and E.C.Deaton purchasedthelotadjoiningHarris&McNeely’s store,known as the Wilson lot,from Mr.J.L.Harris and they are dig- ging out the foundation for a mod- ern-up-to-date business house which will be built right away.It is re- ported that the small frame struc- tures between this lot and the depot will give way in the near future for modern buildings.This will have a wonderful effect on the appearance ofthebusinesssectionofMooresville.

Wilson,is disposed to temper the en- thusiasm over Democratic prospects with a little seasoning of caution. Remarking that the results in Maine and Vermont are cause for encourage- ment and inspiration,he says: But remember!Only one Democrat has obtained a majority in the elec- toral college since 1856.i The only certainties are death and taxes.It is better to be safe than sorry.“Keep together!Get busy!é Good.~advice. The A.and M.College has made a glorious record in its manage-ment of the hazing evil.The pro- fessors simply determined that.it must go—and it went.We take off our hats to the faculty or the A.and M.College.Gentlemen,you have shown that it can be done,and one fact like this is worth a thousandtheories!—Charity -and -Childrd&. The Landmark has private énforma- tion that hazing-has not ceased at the A.and M.It is probably mild,as it has not gotten into the newspapers, but.it is there just the same.The mistake that the college authorities make is in passing over the mild haz- ing.That being allowed to go it gradually develops into something worse. In a statement made to the students at the Univérsity with referenceto | the students expelled and suspended fox hazing,Dr.Venable made ‘it clear that the stature of limitations does not apply to hazing—and he is right.”He says the facts with ref- _erence to the hazings last winter could ‘Tight. not be obtained at the time but be- came known after the Rand incident, and the cases were passed on as soon as the facts’were obtained.Dr. Venable says he did not give the newspapers the names of the stu- dents expelled and suspended and publication of the names is criticised. There Dr.Venable is.wrong.The Landmark had intended to suggest as one of the remedies for hazing,that names of students found guilty should be published;and all the facts about the hazing should be given to the newspapers whenever a case occurs. Publicity will deter a certain class of the lawless element whenjnothing elsewill.The colleges all make a mis- take in trying to suppress news about these matters and saying everything is all right when everything isn’t.all the college,but suppression:hurts worse than publicity,for often ahexaggeratedreportgetsout.More-over,in addition to the fullest pub-licity,the colleges in this State shouldagreenottoaccept’a student ex-pelled from another college ror haz-ing,‘isaac The Landmark is today)printing aStatementofitsownershipandman- agement as required by the postalJawsandregulations.There hasneverbeenanysecretaboutwhoowns this paper and.who runs it,and asthereisnothingtoconcealthestate-ment is cheerfully made —public.Some of the newspapers —notablythelargedailies—are .howlingmightilyaboutthisprovisionoflaw,but The Landmark has no complainttomake.A newspaper,while strict-ly speaking a private enterprise,isin'a large sense a public affair:andwehaveanold-fashioned idea thatthepublichasarighttoknow:whoownsandcontrolsapaperwhenitappealstothemforsupportandof-fers them advice as to their conduct.As to that part of the regulationwhichprohibitsthepublicationofpaidadvertisingmatterasnewsmat-ter,it is only fair’ang just,andnewspaperswhohavepracticedthatsortofdeceptionshouldbeashamedofit.The Landmark has held thatviewforyears. news .was but a’stethe and hé has never had any reasonchangeit.All this is said withou assuming:any superior.virtue .bu ere as an tndyidual view, He does’not.come into .promi-° They fear the news will:hurt| More than threeyearsago,at the meeting of the Press Association at Hendersonville,the editor of The Landmark read apaper,by invitation,on the make-upofanewspaperinwhichhecondemn- ed this practice and said that taking |his car,pay for matter and printing it as|\ftom the burned,sleepers were sup,y from selling|views in the editorial columns.| That Had been his view a long time| to'|Remedy:for his boy _STATE NEWS...

Seniors and other upper classmen interfered,and in (one instance.-a sophomore drove a crowd from his room,.Only 15 men,as far as could be learned,had been guilty of hazing. University .men and others in Ral- eigh,it.is said,do not approve of the faculty's action in eae after last year’s alleged hazers,believing it too far-fetched..Those men suspended or expelled have been given the privilegeofappealingtothefaculty. “After the’coroner’s inquest and the.meeting of the éxecutive commit- tee of the-trustees the faculty made as thorough an investigation as pos- but.of all hazing this session and ofthehazinglastspring.In the latter case all efforts on tne ee of mem-bers.of the fadulty,the s cil and town fauthorities to find.out the guilty parties had proved futile, ‘but the recent fatality made it muc easier to get information.‘ “This affair of last spring consist-ed in a crowd of students going to the cottage on Franklin street,near Pick-ard’s Hotel,where there were three freshmen.When they tried to getthemout,the freshmen closed and arred the door.A pistol was fired at he room and exammation.the next day/showed’.three possible.bullet marks,Stones were thrown through the window,There was much noise and firing of pistols with blank cartridges;.|“The president/was absent on the night of the occurrence.On his re-turn he found the student council making .an_investigation,also the dean on the part.of the faculty.and the mayor of the town.He gave jsuch assistance.as he could.The student council after some days re- ported failure on its part to find the guilty parties and the other ‘investi-gations also failed. “After the coroner’s inquest in theRandcase,some two weeks,ago,.anlofficial“of the town gave the president\information’which was followed up|by the committee of the faculty,dis-jclosing some of the parties engagedjintheaffair.It was our clear dutytopunishtheguiltywheneverfoundout.bare “The first hazing of the séssion:|took place before

Mr.Hamlet Hurt By Peculiar Acci-dent. Railway Section Master W.A, Hamlet,of Stateaville,is thoroughly conyinced that a man is never safe when standing near a passing train. Mr.Hamlet had his force at work about two miles west of Statesville and when a freight train came along he simply stepped to one side of the track to let it pass.In the train was a railway supply car and just as the car passed Mr.Hamlet someone inside pitched an old broken chair out the ear door.The chair struck Mr.Ham- let on the left side with’terrific force, knocking him about ten feet and when that his left drm was apparently without life.He came to town im- mediately to see a physician and the doctor says the nerves of the arm were so badly injured by the blow that it may be some time before it can be used again.Fortunately no _bones were broken.The man who threw the chair from the car of course didnotknowthatMr.Hamlet’was be- side the track,and yet it Is aiways dangerous to throw anything from a passing ‘train.Mr.Hamlet has re- ported the matter to headquarters.

He got the people interested and a vocated the establishment of ‘a co- operative creamery which would make and market the butter.Mr.Shuford one others got’busy and soon hada list of farmers who signed an agree- ment to furnish cream to the cream- ery.It was realized and has beendemonstratedthattheproducts:of at least 300 cows would be necessary if the creamery was a success and be- tween 350 and 400 were subscribed before it was established. Bankers and business men were in- terested in the project and $1,000 was borrowed anda practically new sec-. ond-Rand creamery vutfit was bought| in Georgia and moved to Hickory. .Many obstacles were {n the way but all were overcomie and the number of farmers ‘supplying cream began to grow when they saw the benefits.It was soon found,however,that enough cream could not be secured to make the business a.success so the cream- ery.management decided to handle eggs.Routes were established run-ning ten miles.out from Hickory and men with wagons were employed to gather up the cream and eggs:anddeliveratthecreamery.Being able to produce the best of butter-.and to supply guaranteed fresh eggs,the creamery soon had more orders than it could fill and the prices received are always above the average.The business has grown until the cream- ery now has a working capital of $3,500 and the plant will be enlarged and-improved.The number of far- mers supplying cream and eggs has grown from 40 to 140.. The cream of each farmer is tested and he is paid for the pounds of but- ter-fat.A pound of butter fat makes a little over a pound of actual butter. When the price of butter goes up thepricepaidforthecreamisraisedand the farmers get all the benefit of it. The egg proposition is handled in the same way.Aside from a_sinkingfundofavhalfcentoneachpoundof butter the profits of the creameryaredistributedamongthefarmers each month according to the amountoftreamsupplied..Cash is paid for the eggs as they are taken in on the routes.Two or three cents less than the price received for the eggs is paid the producers.-The creamery is now paying 24 cents per dozen and re- ceiving 27 cents.As high as 45 cents per dozen was received for.eggs last winter and as many as 6,300 dozen were shipped in one month.:The creamery is now paying 32 cents a pound for butter fat and getting 34 for the butter,and is 3,000 pounds be- hind its orders,which come from far ahd.near.As high as 41 ’cents a pound was received for butter last year and as much as 900 pounds a week was shipped to a single hotel in Florida.Thousands‘of pounds are shipped.monthly,.bringing lots .of money into the community.:Mr.Shuford thoroughly convincedhis‘hearers that a properly conducted creamety is a gogd thing for anycommunity,vbut his advice is not to undertake to operate one with less than 400 cows subscribed., After Mr.Shufore’s address theproposedlivestockshowwastaken under consideration and after several talks had been made:in its advocacy it was decided to hold a show this fall.It was shown that there is suf- ficient wéll-bred live stock iti:the county to make a-gpod display ‘and such a show will Stimulate’greaterinterestinthebreedingofbetter stock and.more of it,and it is be- lieved that enough prize money andpremiumscanbesecuredtobringthe stock to the show.A motion author- izing the chair to appoint committeestotakethematter’in hand was car- ried and Mr.Wooten named Messrs.H.R.Cowles,F.'T..Meacham and:R.

In Davidson county,which has long had the reputation of being one of the most corrupt in the State,good citizens are making an effort to elim- inate the corruption funds in.the campaign.We repeat that these agreements should be made in every county in the State;and wherever there is a Democratic or Republican county chairman who believes that elections should be clean,he should put the matter up to the other side. Soon public gJntiment would force an agreement and by and by this corrupt and debasing practice would be elimi- nated. Speaking generally,elections are fairly clean in North Carolina and our people as a whole are ixeorrupti- ble.But the practice of using mon- ey in campaigns has grown and grown until from two to three and four and five times as much money is_spent in the majority of the counties in the State as there is legitimate needforspending.Many politicians wanttohandlemuchmoneyin,a campaign to keep a machine built up;and thiscorruptingpracticehasgoneonuntilthenumberofmenwhowillselltheirvotesdirectly‘er indirectly,.orwhowillworksomeschemetopullcampaignmanagersformoney,is as-tonishing.Some men who would balkatreceivingsomuchcashinhand,will demand that their poll taxes bepaid;others will demand pay forsomesortofservicerendered,whenoftentheserviceisimaginary.Allthiscouldbeeliminatedbyanagre-ment made and lived up to by cam-paign managers and soon public sen-timent.would outlaw it. ee We thank our good friend of theWinstonJournalforhisgoodopinion |of this-paper,which it hopes to con-|tinue to deserve.The Landmark does inotmeantobeunfairtoanybody.We have no disposition to pursue theUniversitytragedy,but anent Dr.Venable,we ask the Journat’s atten-tion to one other point.In his firstreporttothetrusteesDr.Venablesaid:“Wellons was standing near thebarreland-Saw it rock and fall overwithoutanyonepushingit.’In his‘Statement last week:Dr.Venablesaid:“Mr.Wellons could not be pos-itive whether the barrel was kicked orMr.Rand slipped.”To say the leastvfit,Dr..Venable’s first statementWasveryfavorabletotheaccused.Heevidentlyseesthecdseinasomewhatdifferentlightnow.Whether thepowerofpublicsentiment{gs respon-sible,is anothermatter.=—=—_—_—_—_====_S"> The editor of The LLereinhisnehen/0YS Who commitped the w z whiledto’the aecidental death of atesand_Chapel Hill,are not murderers and th i:rere ley will notPontatiasSuch.—Sanford Ex- The Landmark stated:bd”that 2thelawthehazersofyNakguiltyofmanslaughter,That is soplainthatitwillhardlybedenied:and this Paper also ‘expressed theopinionthatmorallythehazersareguiltyof-murder.It has seen noreasontochangethatopinion,If it7wmatheyeungmenwhohavetheloo-Rand on their hands haymadeitso..:ge ae 1 iscondemnationofthe: D.P.Tate,a former preaNorthCarolina,iatovt crime pncher -State.speculation jn Danville,Va,recently tonvicted of grand larounyandsentencedto14months.in thepenitentiary,was released Thursdayon@conditional|pardon issued byGovernorMann.Half-an hourlaterJ©Was arrested on a warrant charg-ing him.with obtaining mioney underfalsepretenses,but:was released’on.his own recognizance. oung Rand ar¢.iipletely bli MATTERS OF NEWS.— cinnati,pleaded guilty in the Federal and was fined $15,000.. conyention in New York,endorsed Osear Strauss,the Progressive .can- didate for Governor.The vote was the Democratic nominee.: The derailment of a Southern rail- way passenger train at Kitchen’s Sid- ing,Ga.,Friday,resulted in the death of the engineer and itireman and the slight injury of the express mes- senger and a postal clerk.

That is one of many cases in which it will.be gheaper to use the express. The Inter-State Commerce Commis- sion’s recent order reduced express rates materially and gave relief from unwarranted exactions,from.which shippers have suffered for years. In connection with the parcels post, that means a general-improvementin| transportation conditions and lowerchargesallaround.For many classes of business the express will be cheap-,but in numerous cases the parcels pest rate will be less.It will be a |great convenience to thousands of lo-| icalities which have no express service; |bringing town’and country into a |direct communication. The important point is that,after |25 years’effort,a parcels post has| |been established.If the rates are| found too high,they can be,reduced. If it does not work perfectly,defects | ican be remedied.but,whatever its| |workings,we will have the system es- |tablished-—and that’s a long step for- |ward.

Harold says that his hat was thrown into:the branch by one of his com-panions and:whén he went ‘to look hat had fallen,he was given a push,by one of the boys which sent him’ headforemost into the branch,result- ing in his injury.Mr.R.E.Pierce,fireman at the to- bacco factory of Adams,Powell &Co.,three-or-four hundred—yards—away, was sitting in the window of the boil- er room eating his dinner when he saw the children piaytng about the culvert.Realizing their danger he naturally kept an eye on them and saw little Harold:when he was push- ed off the culvert.Mr.Pierce says prenantet by an appropriation made the whole party of little folks had ap- parently started on toward home when.he noticed two of the neescufflingonthesidewalkaboyethe branch.They gradually moved near-er the culvert and had apparently go ten down on the ground when he saw one little form go over the precipiceandhiscompanionsscamper Realizing that the child would either be killed or badly hurt.by the fall, Mr.Pierce jumped from the window and ran wit all speed to the rescue. He found the boy trying to climb up the branch bank.He was crying and his face atd head were covered with blood.Taking him in his arms,Mr. Pierce ran with him to the home of Mr.T.M.Dale,ony a few feet away, and a call was made for a physician. A doctor was on hand within a few minutes and the child's wound was immediately washed out and tempor- ary medical aid given.He was then removed,to the home of his parents on Tradd street,two blocks away, where he was operated on and the crushed portion of his skull removed and the wound dressed.His head had struck a large piece of cinder which was left in the Geanch when the con- crete work was done,and a iece of the cinder was found on the rain.Despite this,however,the boy never lost consciousness,which.is considered most remarkable.Had he been immediately.rendered uncon- scious by the fall,he would probably have drowned in the branch before Mr.Pierce reached him,but fortu- nately he was able to crawl out of the water.In its present condition the culvert from which the child fell is exceeding- ly dangerous.The =sidewalk 1s/ built out to the edge of the culvert whatever.to protect pedestrians from falling into the branch should they accidentally step from the sidewalk, holes were left in the concrete for iron,railings,which have not been put up. och sympathy is expressed for Mr.and Mrs.Alexander,who.are sorely afflicted.Their only other child,aged 22 months,has been at the point of death for several days, suffering from miningitis.

Not aMatter of How Much Can BeGottenFromtheTreasury. FRIDAY,----October 11,1912. TREAT ALL ALIKE,| The most sensible utterance about the Rand affair at Chapel Hill is that of Prof.C:Alphonsq Smith,a noted -educator atid a’North Carolinian now connected with the,University of Vir- ginia.Prof.Smith had the following statement over his own name in the last issue of the Progressive Farmer: Justice,common sense and every dictate of sound policy demand alike that the young men who.are respon-sible for Rand’s death should be dealt\with exactly as if they were not andhadneverbeencollegemen.If.they.are shown special favor because they 'are college men,if the law 1s relaxed, "ane iota because these young fellows. were sophomores rather than clerks,farm hands,or factory operatives,»then the breach is going to be widenedbetweenthecollegeand‘the ‘people. Injury ‘will be done go the cause ofhighereducationandeverycollegein’ the land will in some way feel theresult..«;“Enlightened college men all overthecountry,whether professors or alimni or students,have.long de- sired to:see the college stand square-ly on its own merits.Colleges and: college students have suffered in the -past and are suffering now,not be- cause public opinion is hostile to them,'but-beeause public opinion puts themin'a>class by themselves and exemptsthemfromthecommonIawofre- sponsibility.°This is the chief if notthesole.reason why there is still achasmbetweenthecollegeandthe ~people.When.we can say to the college student’or to the prospective college student:“College training is not a reparation for life;it is a tife itself.ft is not an exemption from,but a multiplication of,social and civil de- mands,”we shall have taken a longsteptowardbreakingdownthewall of partition that still divides the. gownsman and the townsman. I am not asking for vengeance.No one could read the noble letter of Billy Rand’s father and still cherish a feeling of vengeance or even of re- sentment toward the young men who have unwittingly shadowed that home in’Johnston county.They have my rofound sympathy,But North Caro- ina has an opportunity to do a great service,a service to these young men, tp the dead boy,and to those who shall come after them.wet the State kill forever the already moribund idea that a college means a suspension of law and justice;;that it is hedged about by medieval traditionalism; that a college man is not amenable to the same law or!lawsto.which other young men are amenable;that the four years in college walls are years of withdrawal from institution- al life and of indulgence in individ- ual whim.If this is done,the collegeandthepeople/will anderstand each other.Till it is done,there will be mae,ill will,and estrangement. Vhy pass a special law against hazing?This would ynty intensify the class feeling.It would set up another:barrier between the young man in.college and the young manoutofcollege.Is there not alreadysomelawonthestatutebookstowhichtheseyoungmen,if they had,beer factory hands and Rand a newrecruit,are amenable?it be put there.But do not.call it alawagainsthazing.Call.it-alaw toprotecttherightsandpersonsofmenjoiningaSociety.It should not makeaparticleofdifferencewhether’thissocietybeeducational,social,civil,relivious,or industrial.fhe American céllege is the productofdemocracyandtheservantofde-mocracy,but the American collegewillneverbedemocratic,it willneverdoitsappointedwork,it willnevergetclosetotheheartofthepeople,till every shred of artificialprivilegeandhinderingexemption.isStrippedfromit.Let North Caroli-na lead the way.

A dispatch from Asheville says the bumper fruit crop in that section of the State is opening the eyes of the people to the importance of the apple industry.One man who.a year ago paid $500 for an orchard of five acres will sell almost enough apples this fall to pay for the orchard.As spraying becomes the common prac- tice and the proper marketing of the fruit is put in practice,the industry aa become more and more profita- 1e, As-a result of an act passed by the last Legislature,the commissioners of Gaston county will this year be elected for long and short terms— half of them being elected for two years and the other half for four years.This arrangement is made so that the terms of all the commission- ers will not expire at once and will revent the election of an entire new »0ard at any one time.The idea is to have at all times on the board some members familiar with the county’syusiness, Mr.Crane’s Contribution to Senator LaFollette and Gov.Wilson.

'Major J.0..©,Hemphill,former eal :tor of the Observer,who now lives in.New ‘York and is on:the staff of the Times,was in Charlotte’.this week.The major ‘has been traveling about the.country and he.tells.the’ Charlotte News that Gov.Wilson will be elected.He is aso of the opinion, according to the News,that Taft.is gaining strength and that if election day could be deferred foralittle‘while -Taft would be elected. The Democrats of the country owe.Theodore Roosevelt a debt of grati- tude for destroying the Republicanarty.That party tn national affairs ad become corrupt and needed justwhatRoosevelthasmadepossible for it—that is,to be beaten to a fraz-zle.—Newton:News. The Landmark has held the opin- ion,ever since Roosevelt entered the campaign,that he is doing the coun- -try a real service.His election would possibly be the worst thing that could happen,for there ts no lim- it to his ambition,but In helping to destroy the Republican party he _is doing a real.service for the public. Dr.Archibald Johnson,the “block- ade preacher,”should be a little more explicit in his speeches at the asso- ciation meetings.We judge from the following.in.Charity and Children that they are charging him with mix- ing politics in his remarks: Addressing one of our associations recently we remarked that we hoped some Moses would arse In the next Legislature,bare his bosom to the storm and lead the children of North Carolina out of the bondage or ignor- ance.We understand that a rumor has gone the rounds that we had ref- erence to a candidate whose given name is Moses.We desire here and now to disclaim any intention what- ever of boosting any particular’can- didate for the Legislature. At the recent opening of the Bos- ton public schools,at the suggestion of the mayor every pupil took the Athenian oath and this custom will be regularly observed hereaftes in Boston at the beginning of every school year.Following is the oath: -“We will never bring disgrace to this,our city,by any act of dishonesty or cowardice,nor ever desert our suf- ‘fering comrades‘in the ranks;we will .fight for the ideals and sacred things.of the city,both alone and with many; we will revere and obey the city’s laws and do our best to incite a like re- pect and reverence in those above us , who are prone to annul ‘or to _set them at naught;we will strive un- ceasingly to-quicken the public’s sense of civic duty.Thus,in all these ways, we will transmit this city not.only not less,but greater,better.and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us,’ As.some ‘writer has observed,that is an “impressive and noble idea of “civic purpose.”It has been suggested ~that this oath should be administered in North Carolina schools and The Landmark®thinks the suggestion should be adopted.On some pupils it would make no impression;on oth- ers it would;and anything that sug- -gests to the young high and noble ideals and purposes of life cannot be too often placed before them.A sug- gestion when the mind is in the for- mative period will sometimes start a train of thought that will:materially mold the .child’s life,hence the great importance of suggestions that will start the mind in proper channels.

A net loss of $33,000,000 a year in the revenues of the express companies and railroads would result from put- ting into effect express rates pro- posed by the Inter-State Commerce Commission,according to figures submitted by the companies to the commission.The loss,it is estimated, would be.substantially evenly divid- ed between the express and the rail- road companies.

In Craven Superior Court at New Berne this week Judge Cline set aside a verdict of first degree muraer in the case of Chas.Mooré and Test Hill, negroes,allowed the defendants to plead guilty to second degree murder and sentenced them to 20 years each in the State prison.Judge Cline said his action was no reflection:on the jury,as thelverdict was a natural one the way.the evidence was given. But after careful consideration he said there was serious doubt whether the murder was premeditated.°For that reason he set the verdict aside. The negroes killed Leon Johnson, a white man,in the little town of Do-' ver last.month.Johnson,who it was alleged had been drinking,was found lying in a pool.of.blood,his throat horribly gashed and the ‘jugular veinsevereThetwonegroes’were found under a church near by.They had been drinking and bore evidences of ae been in an encounter.They denied the crime but said they-had had an altercation with another man,who had cut them.

Hoffman deals at length with the homicide record in the greav cities and his figures show that whereas in the 10 years ended in 1891 the hom- icide rate was 5.0 in each 100,000 per-sons,at the end of 1911.it was 7.2ersonsforeach100,000 of the popu- ation of the leading cities. Mr.Hoffman’s figures give to Mem- his,Tenn.,the unenviable record of xeing the city that shows the’highest homicide rate during the decade end- ed with 1910,the rate being 47.1 ‘in each 100,000 .of the population. Charleston,S.C.,comes next,with 27.7:Savangah,Ga.,.third,with 25.6; New Orleans,La.,fourth,with 22.2per100,000 of population. “In most of the cities during 1911,”| || |Mr.Hoffman writes,“the homicide rate was above the average for the|decade ended with 1910.”|In a table Mr.Hoffman gives the}|}comparative rates in 30 named Amer- ican cities from 1901 to 1911.Another| table shows the comparative mortali- ty from homicides by geological.dis-| tribution.j “According to.this table,”Mr.| |Hoffman says,“the average homicide|rate for the decade ended with 1910} was.6.9 per 100,000 of population for|all cities;14.7 for Southern cities,| 9.7 for Western cities,7.8 for Central | cities,and 4.3 for Eastern cities.The| rate during 1911 showed an increase| over the rate for the decade ended| with 1910 in the cities of each division | except the Western,where there was ‘a slight decline.It is significant,| however,that,comparing the rate for all cities for the decade ended with |1910;of 6.9 per 100,000 population,| the rate for 1911 should have been|8.3,or 20.2 per cent.higher.”| Wireless Telegraph Operators Must Be Licensed.

Suit was first brought in™1902 against 240 members of the United Hatters of North America residing in Connecticut and was,based upon alle- gations that a conspiracy existed to injure the business of the plaintiff, who is a soft hat manufacturer,be-cause he declined to unionize his ‘fac- tory.During both trials evidence was produced aiming to show that labor unions had instituted a boycottagainsttheplaintiff’s’business. The American Federation of Labor stood behind the defendants and the Anti-Boycott Society of America was behind the plaintiffs,so the litigation developed into a legal battle between these two bodies.i A Pitiful Case Brought to Statesville For Treatment.

At a-recent meeting ofthe Com- mercial club of Statesville .freight rate discrimination .was .discussed and some interesting facts brought out.«For instance::: The freight rate on a'car load of grain from Louisville,Ky.,to Rich-- mond and other Virginia cities is 11 cents per 100 Ibs.The/.rate «from Louisville to Statesville,about two- thirds the distance to Richmond,is 81 cents.The rate from Richmond to Statesville is 20 cents.So that,the ear of grain could be shipped from Louisville|through Statesville to .7 " diate charges,The Inter-State Com-merce Commission is,however,givenpowerto.suspend this provision andtherailroadsareofcourseasking that this be done.It is against thesuspensionthatafightisbeingmade,in which Charlotte leads.As States-ville and all other points in this:sec-tion of the State are affected with Charlotte;all of us’should endeavortoupholdCharlotte’s hands in the mate ter..The figures show that the South- ern railway collects in this State about $1,200 more per mile than in. any other State penetrated by the system.This gives ‘an idea of whattheexcessfreightrate.means to the Southern and to the other railroads. as well.ne ioe The State corporation commission, by making a fight on Dehalf of the State.before the Inter-State Com- meree Commission,recently secured a reduction in long haul rates on theNorfolkandWesternfromSt.LouistoWinstonandDurham.Encouragedbythisandproddedbythepeople,thecorporationcommission1s‘now mak-ing further efforts in.the same di-‘rection.It is a,matter of interest to us’all and.a Matarinined fight will ‘secure some relief.\ CAMPAIGN.FUND.TESTIMONY.

Every citizen shoyld therefore lend a helping hand:in the fight.; Nore"North Carolina Infested With the Disease the appetite is ravenous and perverted, |the patient eating dirt,clay,coffee grounds,etc,.Often there is aching in the joints.The face presents a stupid appearance and in -some cases is ”puffed.Tie eyes are listléss,the mind is dull,.and in school the child falls behind his classes. PREVENTION OF THE DISEASE. 1.Treat the disease,thus destroying |the egg-laying worms and at the same time cure the sufferers. 2.Wear shoes as long as there is any polluted soil,and don’t eat uncooked foods which have been on,or near,con- ‘taminated soil.”: 3.See to it that every dwelling and schoolhouse is pro- vided with a sanitary privy and that the stools of no one are deposited elsewhere. SANITARY PRIVY. A sanitary privy is one which has a fly-proof vault under the seat anda close fitting lid on a hinge for the opening in the seat.Under this opening a pail-or tub is-placed by raising a hinged door in the rear of this vault.Dry dirt, .lime,or chemical disinfectants are put in the pails as ‘needed to keep down the odor.The contents of the pail should be removed once a week and deeply buried as far from the well as possible,burned,or treated.with germi- cides,but not used as manure,because this séatters the infecting germs or worms,which are too small to be visible to the naked eye. to the fact that sanitary arrangements in the country | flistricts and in many towns are very primitive.The disease is spread by the infected human excrement of those who have the disease.Many of our farm and village dwellings either have no privy or the existing privies are unsanitary in construction.As a result, the soil around the privies,bushes or other hiding| places is polluted.This is scattered by chickens,| dogs,etc.,and especially by heavy rains.Persons working or walking with bare feet,or wearing leaky shoes on such contaminated soil,are very liable to hookworm infection..When the bare feet are brought| in contact with the infected soil,the little hookworm germs bore through the skin,producing an attack of “ground itch,”:which is usually the -first stage of hookworm disease..The infection may also be taken in with muddy water,with fruit and uncooked foods, as plums,:péaches,strawberries,lettuce,ete. CAUSE OF THE DISEASE. The ‘disease is.caused by small round worms,white or-brownish in coior,which aré one-third to a half an, inch’in length and the thickness of a number thirty: sewing thread.In the adult stage they are found fast- ened by their jaws to the lining membrane of the rsmall intestine.They suck the blood,make wounds, produce a poisonous substance which causes inflam- mation and catarrh of the bowel.This hinders diges- tion,and-the damage done invites typhoid fever or tuberculosis.The great loss of blood is the most im- portant damage.The patient may;harbor several thousand of these worms,which lay many thousands of eggs.These eggs are discharged from the bowels of the patient to develop in the presence of oxygen in one to six days into the infecting germs,to add infec- tion to this patient or to infect other people. SYMPTOMS OF HOOKWORM.DISEASE. The mild cases may cause the common ailments of which many people complain;but.as the severity of the infection increases the symptoms become more pronounced.In the severe infeetions the patients may be underdeveloped in body and mind:They present a thin-blooded condition,often mistaken for malaria.

DR.STROSNIDER AT JENNINGS. Hookworm~Dispensary Largely At- tended—Location Changed to Union Grove School House. To the Editor of The Landmark: Jennings,Oct.16—Please announce that Dr.C.F.Strosnider,who has charge of the treatment -for hook- worm in Iredell,will secture at Union Grove school house on Tuesday,Octo- ber 22d,at 2 p.m.,on the treatment and’prevention of typhoid fever;also dispensaries advertised to be held at Jennings’store October 22d,29th and November 5th,will be held on above dates at Union Grove school house. This change was deemed advisable, as the school house affords more room and will better accommodate the crowd in case the weather is bad. The dispensary at Jennings’store on-the 15th.was.well patronized.Over 200 specimens were submitted for ex- aminatior,87 of which were examin- ed and 28.persons were found to have hookworm.The remajning specimens were sent to Raleigh for. examination,the result of which will be reported at the next meeting,.and treatment given al¥who are found to have.the diséase.Dr.Strosnider stated that the dispensary held at Jennings’store was the largest he had ever held on the first day at any point in this State—a fact that speaks well for the intelligence of the peo-' ple of north Iredell,and atso shows that the’county «commissioners did a wise thing in arranging for.this free treatment of Raaieworn in Ire-* dell county. Now if our people will only take advantage of this golden opportunity and each individual be cunined, these little pale,sallow faces will be turned into rosy-cheeked robust:peo- ple,and the health of our people im- proved beyond measure.It is the duty of every good ¢itizen of Iredell county to ajd this work,and stamp out hookworm in this county.

Col.Roosevelt arrived in Milwau- kee,Wis.,soon after 5 o’¢lock Mon- day ‘evening.A little before 8 he started for the auditorium,where-he was to speak.His automobile stood in front of the door and about it was a big crowd |waiting ;to catch a glimpse of the colonel as he.startedoff.With Roosevelt were Phillip Roosevelt,a young cousin,Mr.Coch- ems,Mr.Martin and Captain Girard.The crowd pressed close about ‘the colonel and gave a cheer as he ap-peared.As the party approached the automobile,Col.Rooseyelt’s com-panions stood aside and he stepped into the car.He stood up,waving his hat in answer to the cheers of thecrowd.The assassin was standing inthecrowdafewfeetfromtheauto-mobile.He,pushed his way to thesideofthecarandraisinghis.gunfired.Colonel RooséVelt barely moy-ed as the shot was firea.

Roosevelt was undressea and placed upon the operating table although he insisted he was not badly hurt.and that the doctors were taking it tooseriously. An examination of the wound showed that it had been made by a bullet of large size.It entered the fleshy part of the right breast,half way between the collar bone and lower rib.'The physicians found that they knew ho more after their exam- ination than before as to the loca- tion of the bullet an@ it was decided’ to send for an X-ray machine to de- termine to what deptn the missilehadpenetrated.While he was wait- ing for the X-ray machine,Roose- velt sat upon the operating table and talked politics and jokea with thephysicians. Colonel Roosevelt’s life was prob-ably saved by a manuscript of hisspeech.The bullet struck the manu-script,which retarded its force as itpassedthroughintotheflesh. Beginning his speech at the audi- torium after he’had been shot,Col. Roosevelt said:“I don’t care a rap about being shot,not a rap.”Furtheroninhisremarkshe’said: “It is a very natural thing thatweakandviciousmindsshouldbeinflamedtoactsofviolencebythekindoffoulmendacityandabusethathavebeenheapeduponmeforthelastthreemonthsbythepapersintheinterest,not only of Mr.Debs,-butofMr.Wilson and Mr.Taft.Friends,I will disown and repudiate any manofmypartywhoattackswithsuchvile,foul~slander and abuse any op-ponent of any other party.-“Now,I wish to say seriously tothespeakersandto~+)6 -tewspapersrepresentingboththeMepublicanandDemoc¥atic'and Socialist parties,thatthey?eannot make the kind of slan-derous,bitter and malevolent assaultsthattheyhavemadeandnotexpectthatbrutalandviolentcharacters,especially when the vrutality is ac-comvanied by.a not too strong mind,they cannot expect.tnat such natureswillbeunaffectedbyit.I am notspeakingformyselfatall.I give youmywordIdon’t care a rap about be-ing shot,not a rap.‘I have had agoodmanyexperiencesinmytimeandthisisonlyoneofthem.WhatIdocareforismycountry.I wish Iwereabletoimpressuponourpeoplethedutytofeelstrongly,but to speaktruthfullyoftheiropponents.I saynowIhave-never said on the stumonewordagainstanyopponentthatcouldnotsubstantiateandnothing Ioughtnottohavesaid,nothing that,looking back,I would not say again.” The man who did the shooting re-fused to give his.name but he is saidto.be John Schrenk,a laundryman.Headmittedtheshooting,saying,“Anymanlookingforathirdtermought like stillness‘settled over the throng" bloodstained garment.“I’m going to. said the colonel empnatically.He traitor to the American cause.Let ‘izen to forcibly remove a‘third.term-er.Never Jet a third-term partyemblemappearon,the official ballot.“T am willing to die for my coun-try..God has called me to.be Hisinstrument,so help me God. @(Signed)“Innocent Guilty.”(Written in German)“A strongtowerisourGod.”: PresidentReviewed Fifteen Miles ofFightingCraft.i New York Dispatch,14th.

Congressman Doughton’s CanvassandWhatHeStandsFor. Correspondence of The Landmark, Salisbury,Oct.16th—Reports are being received here daily of the veryeffective.work Hon.R.L.Dougbton, Democratic candidate for Congress, is doing for the Democratic party in the western part of the district.He has recently .completed a canvass through Alexander,Ashe and Watau- ga,and was greeted everywhere by good-sized,enthusiastic crowds.The farmers of the district are tive in Congress,and his record while there would seem to justify it.If the measures he worked so hard for had not been killed by a Republican Presi- dent.and Senate,after being passed by a Democratic House,the farmerswouldnowbe paying two cents a pound less for sugar,$3 to $5 less on every suit of clothes and about 50 per cent less «n farm tools and machinery. When one reflects that this savingwouldamounttomorethandouble the combined town,county and State taxes of the average.taxpayer for a year,it is no wonder that the busi- ness men-and farmers are lined up behind him with tfie determination that.his election shall be overw ing and this money-saving legislation thus rendered more certain. It is tinderstood Mr.Doughton will speak in Cabarrus and Stanly coun- ties next week. Mr.Watts’Figures on the Presi- dential Campaign.i Mr.A.D.Watts,who is known at his home in Iredell to be handy with figures in’political.campaigns,was in Washington a few days ago and gave out some figures on the presidential campaign.Mr.Watts figures that in addition to the real Southern States Gov.Wilson will-carry’border Southern States—Delaware,Mary- land,West Virginia,Kentucky and Missouri.This will give him~the “solid South”as that term was inter- preted in the days of Tilden and Cleveland,which means 176 votes to start with.On account of the divis- ion among the Republicans and the natural strength of the Democratic party the following States are as-sured.to Wilson:Connecticul 7,New Jersey 14,Ohio 24,indiana 15,Ne- braska 8,Oklahoma 10,Colorado 6, Montana 4,Arizona 3,Nevada 3,to-tal 94:This total of 94.votes addedtothe176of)the old-time solid South makes 270 votes,or a few more than enough. In addition Mr.Watts figures as |probable for Wilson Maine,Massachu- setts,Rhode Island,New York,Il- linois,Michigan,Wisconsin,Minneso- ta and lIowa—156 votes,which to- gether with the 270 above make a total of 426 votes,leaving a total anti-Wilson vote of 106.

The attempted assassination of Col. Roosevelt is deplorable.It 1s a paifv- ful reflection that our public men— especially Presidents and presidential! candidates—are subject to this dan- ger,but all of them are.There are many weak-minded,crazy,fanatics abroad who sometimes feel called of the Lord to remove.somebody,and a ‘prominent public man‘is a conspicu- ous target.. pears to be,a type similar ‘to those Roosevelt’sassailant ape who killed Garfield 'and McKinley. *Roosevelt’s conduct at the time of was °,characteristic,, There’is no.distounting his courage but his determination.to speak if ‘he dropped dead,after he was shet, saying he had a message to ‘deliver and it.might be his:last chance,and going on ‘with his speech against the advice of physicians and without’ knowing the real character of his wound,was bravado..Fortunately no serious harm seems to have resulted from this performance.Col.Roose- velt’s warning to newspapers~and speakers to be more temperate in times of political stress,that they may not inflame the passions and in- dite the weak-minded to do what had just been done in his case,was ‘en- tirely proper.But his assumption of virtue,that he and_his foliowers have not been guilty in this respect,will be received/with a smrfe.Neither of the other presidential candidates can approach Roosevelt m the use of strong.and abusive language,and cer- tainly the strong language which he constantly uses.is more likely.to.in- cite men to violence:than anything either of his opponents has said,for theirattitude:toward him ‘has.been very civil..The supporters of his op-ponents may be guilty,but probably no more guilty than hjs own.But the warning should be heeded.Cam- paign speakers and ~-newspapers should be more temperate and con- servative in their statements,not only in this campaign but in all others. Democrats who have criticised the connection of Perkins,of the Internd- tional Harvester Company,with the ‘Roosevelt campaign,will be somewhat disturbed by the fact that Cyrus H. McCormick,also of the Harvester company,gave $12.500.to Gov.Wil- pon’s pre-convention campaign.It) is said that Gov.Wilson knew.of the contribution and expressed a wil- lingness to receive it.This being so, it;may be accepted as a fact that Gov. Wilson knew McCormick well enough| to know that he would expect no} favors on account of the contribu- tion;and McCormick knows Wilson well enough to know that he wouldn’t| get any favors.Thos.F.Ryan,with| whom Gov.Wilson declined to enter into negotiations for campargn funds, gave $77,000 to the Harmon pre-con- ventiori campaigri and $ derwood. The Landmark haa supposed that| early in this month there would be a let-up in the speaking in-behalf of the| senatorial candidatés and that the! balance of the campaign would be | devoted to the Democratic ticket gen-| erally.Instead the partisans of the| senatorial candidates seem to have} taken a fresh hold,and on the stump} and in the newspapers they are lam- basting:each other without stint.It| would seem that increasea interestin | the senatorial ‘primary would insure| a larger DBémocratic vote and the! party will probably not suffer so far |tend |the I as the vote is concerned;,but a whole| 35,000.to Un.’ When thelegislative ae le be-‘gin to give you.long spiels about)theories of nationat government askthemtoholdupaminuteand“tell you greeny,”about where “theystandontheTorrenslandtitlesys- tem,dog laws,road.laws,broad, wagon tires and other such.mattersasconcernyourEreensbo‘and pros- perity at home.—Greénsboro News.

For the benefit of the Republican newspapers that have much to say about Gov.Wilson being in favor of local option,asserting that one who votes for Wilson for President should also.vote for Settle,who favors local option,for Governor,the following| from Baptist and Reflector,a promi- nent paper of the Baptist denomina- tion,is offered as testimony:‘ Governor Woodrow Wilson has been widely quoted’recently as favoring local option,During the,‘Texas cam- aign for’State-wide —prohibition ast year he wrote a letter:to.Mr.E. W.Grogan,of Byers,Texas,in which “J believe that for some States.State-wide prohibition is possi- ble and desirable,becawse’of their relative homogeneity,while for othersl. think that State-wide rs nov.practica- ble.I have no reason to.doubt,from what I.knowof the ¢ircumstances,that State-wide prohibition 1s potn practic- able and desirable in Texas.” Be- cause of the utterance the liquor peo- ple fought him bitterly in his race for the Démocratic nomination in Texas. The claim made from.Republican headquarters in Chicago that Taft will have280—electoral _votes_is_of course.bluff.Many of the States placed in the Republican column..have been virtually conceded to the Demp- erats.)The President backs up ,this claim with an appeal .to sectional prejudice.and the wsual dissertation on Republican prosperity and Demo- cratic hard times.While!all this is for the ‘purpose of giving some hope “to the despairing Republican cause, it should be a warning to the too con-¥ fident Democrats thar a desperate ef- fort will be made by the Republicans between now and Nuvember 5 to car- ry the election.For some.weeks the reports have showna slight gain for the President.By the use of a big corruption fund it may be expected that.every effort will be made.to turn the tide for Taft.While all signs point to Wilson’s election,it can be certain only by the Democrats keep- ing up:a determined fight and taking nothing for granted. The Progressive or Roosevelt party is:called the’Bull Moose party and Col.Roosevelt seems to like the name.In one ‘of’Col.Roosevelt’s books he describes a~bull moose,an animal with which he iS familiar,and this is the description as we find it .in the Cleveland Stee: “The bull moose lives on,the public domain and is a very.wasteful feed-| er,He is of a wandering atrd*flighty disposition.His flesh,moreover,is coated and stringy,his hide is thick and of very poor:qualfty..Another noticeable characteristic of the bull moose is-his inordinate _selfishness. Whether roaming in the woods in solitude,or tearing up the earth,or coming headlong to the call,he is thinking first,last and all the time of the safety of his own skinjand the fullness of his own stomach.FT urth-.| er indications of the abuse and browbeating of all other moose that are smalier than himself.He cannot tolerate a rival,but flies into a jealous rage at the first sug- gestion that there is any other bullmooseintheunfverse. In Sunday’s daily papers appeared a long.statement from Col.V.S. Lusk,a promnient Republican of Asheville,giving reasons why he will not support Taft for Frestdent and Settle for Governor.He objects to Taft,first,because of his appoint- ments of Democrats to office,especial- ly the appointment of Judge Conner; and second because,ne charges,the President’s nofnination was ately stolen at Chicago.He refuses to support Settle,he says,because Settle is mainly responsible for the exclusion of the delegates from the State convention who refused to wear the Taft collar.He aoes not approve Settle’s character and‘ne particularly objects to the whiskey ‘plank in the platform,which he says Settle was in- strumental in having adopted.On this point Col.Lusk says: more he deliber- so-called convention that nom-2 the whiskey idea that they established an annex har With the convention hall !Stocsed with"bot-tled beer and corr whiskey,only forthose,however,why would vote:foiTaftandSettle;and so careful wereleaders.to conceal this den.bauchery and corruption that theyplacedasentinelatthedoorofthiswhiskeydepartmentwithinstructionsto.admit no one except known sup-porters of Settle and Taft,and in or-der to make assurance doubly sure,they appointed a committee on “re.freshments”and issued tickets of ad-mittance with the name of the com-mitteeman printed thereon;one oftheseingigniaofpoliticalcorruptionbychancefellinto’my hands,whichInowhave,subject to inspection byanyonewithcuriosityenoughtode-sire an inspection or the same.Iwould-like to tell you (were!it not the room \v that I do not;want to embarrass a! highly respectable family)of the ruinandunhappiness:brought about by that one ticket,that admitted an un- fortunate young man into that dew of infamy;of a broken-hearted mother ‘and a ruined,prosperous business,” Se snanpentomeneToo one Martin Columbus Leazar,aged 52,died Thursday at his home near China Grove,Rowan’county. vy bull’s essential | selfishness are found in his frequent| inated Settle was so imbued with and admit .'ed and is in jail.

There are a good many strange things in this world and here is one from Georgia.Certain citizens of Dougherty county,Ga.,are asking the removal of the six jury commissioners on the ground that 731-3 per cent. of the jurors selected by these com- missioners are members of the Meth- odist Church and that the jury com- missioners give preference to mem- bers of the Methodist denomination {from which it is assumed that the jury commissioners are of the Metho- dist faith).The lower court refused to remove the commissioners on this complaint and the.tase is now before the Georgia Supreme Court.. “The Democratic party,’says the Raleigh’Times,“is making its fight on a platform of tariff:tor revenue only—not for protection or for free trade—and no amount.of attempts can cloud the issue.”That’s the idea. And what is needed in punti¢life is meh of bréadth,statesmen broad enough to take in all sections,/who will levy a revenue tariff that will be as fair and just/to ati sections and all interests as it is possible for hu- man intelligence to make it.So long as the representatives of the different sections try to give.preference to any particular section or mterest,the tar- iff will never be reduced to a revenué basis;the sections and/interests with the greatest influence will secure special fayors and the masses will suffer in the future as they have in the past. Mr.Ryan testifies that he gave $350,000 to the Democratic national committee in 1904 after it was certain that there was absoYutely no hope of Judge Parker’s election,but that he gave the money to keep the cam- paign from collapsing and to presgrve the integrity of the party.That ea one a better opinion of Mr.Ryan. He appears to think enougn of the Democratic party to want to preserve it even when he knew it could not help him.There will be those who will say ‘that Mr.Ryan,in addition to his party patriotism,wae making himself solid so that he would bein position to ask favors in the future,if he should want something when the par- ty had favors to bestow.But giving Mr.Ryan ‘credit for the best of motives,The Landmark is of the op- and political (parties should never be placed under obligations to wealthy men and cor- porations.This exposure of campaign contributions will have a.healthful effect.It will be noticed;by the way, that Mr.Ryan says that while he helped the pre-convention campaigns of Harmon and Unaerwood,he would also have helped Clarx and Wilson if they had asked him.But Wilson re- fused to ask him.That’s what brought on the Watterson-Wilson row.

NEAR- Negro Cut Officer Kerr and ThereWasMuchExcitementForaTime -—The Injury Not Serious. Considerable excitement was.pro-.duced at:the carnival grounds on .Meeting street about 9 o'clock Satur=day night when Policeman Thos,Kerr, while attempting to part and arrestfightingnegroep,was .slashed across“the neck with a pocketknife by one ofthenegroes,Gus.Adams,and hadtheofficerbeenseriouslyinjuredthere‘would probably.have been.a little raceriot.As it was there was considera- ble.talk of violence to Adams,but: fortunately better judgment -prevail-‘ed‘and within.a short time the excite- ment had subsided and the carnivalgayetywasresumed.as though noth-ing out of the.érdinary had occurred.‘Earlier in the night Mr.-Kerr over- heard a conversation between negroes which led him to believe that John .and Clarence King were planning an attack on some one,and when he saw the King brothers start,through the carnival crowd armed with stickstheofficermadeitapointtokeepaneyeonthem.He was close by whentheKingsfoundGus.Adams and at- tacked him.Clarence’King struck Adams on the head with a stick and just as Adams made a rush for KingwithapocketknifeMr.Kerr ran up and seized him.Instantly Adams wheeled on the officer and slashed his ‘neck with the knite,and the nextinstantMr.Kerr knocxed.the negro down with his blackjack and covered him with his pistol.But for the fearefshootinginnocentpeopleinthecrowdMr.Kerr said he would havekilled-the negro on the spot.‘Mayor Caldwell-was in the carni- val crowd and.happened to be near the scene of the tent when it oc- curred.Seeing Mr.Kerr’s predica- -ment the mayor rushed ‘to his.aid and pounced upon tne back of Clar- ence King just as the negro started for Adams and the policeman with his stick.Jerking loose from one hand of the mayor the negro faced him and showed fight,but before King could make another move.the mayor drew his revolver and putting it in the face of the negro ordered hands up,and the hands went up without hesitation.Other officers and_citi- zens rushed up and John.King wasimmediatelyplacedunderarrestand also had the experience of looking into the muzzle of a pistol. 'When the pistols began ‘to flashmanywomenand:some men made a :rush through the crowd to get away, i while other men who feared serioustrouble,and desiring to know the cause of excitement,rushed toward the scene.Mr.Kerr’s wound was bleeding freely and sight of blood —brought}threats of violence.A-great crowd followed the negroes as they were hurriedly taken to the jail a short distance away.Mr.Kerr was hur- 'vied to a physician,who found that while the gash on his neck was ofconsiderablelength,it had little depth. The wound was dressed within a few |minutes and Mr.Kerr returned to the earnival grounds...When it was seen that the officer was not badly hurt, the anger of his friends soon cooled. Fearing for the safety of the mem- bers of their race involved “in the trouble some of the negroes also did some talking,but the presence of ad- ditional officers on the grounds had a good effect and the trouble was at an end.»: The three negroes were given a hearing in the mayor’s court Sunday and Clarence King and Adams wereremandedtojailindefaultofbond to await trial in the Superior Court this week for assault with.deadly weapons,while John Ning was.re- leased on the payment of $5 and costs.Adams contended from the outset that he cut the officer acci- dentally;that when the officer seized him he thought he was:being attack- |ed from another side by one of King’s 'friends..In fact as soon.as Adams saw who he had cut he immediately apologized to Mr.Kerr,and Mr.Kerr does not believe the negro would have cut him had he known who he was cutting.

Mr.Grier then presented Mr.Craig,who spoke about an hour.He express- jed appreciation for the compliment of the Democratic party in giving him aunanimousnominationforGovernor. He was gratified at what Iredell coun- ty’had done for him.He said he 'realized it as an opportunity to ren- der service.He feets sure of Demo- cratic victory,he says,but wants the votes because the willingness to give them means more to him than gold or silver.It places an obligation for faithful discharge:of duty.He re- ferred to riding over part of-the Statesville Air Line railroad on his way out:and said that if he were elected Governor he would do what he could to carry on that .work,as itmeansprogress. Some other counties of the State may not come up with a Democratic majority,.he says,but.Iredell will stand‘like the Rock of Gibraltar.He hoped that no Democrat in the county Would scratch but believed all differ- ences should be settled inside the par- ty.The Democratic party is the only well-defined party today.The Repub- lican party is so split that not even members of it know where it is stand- ing.There will be less of it after the election.The destruction of the Republican party is not the result of an accident but due to its own injus- tice and rottenness.It is based oninjusticeandfalsehdod..The party has fallen with its crimination and recrimination.It has remained in power!.40 years under false pretense, claiming to have brought prosperity. Prosperity has come in manifold plen- ty and has blessed the world but the people who earned it haven’t received it..The speaker said the prosperity he wants comes with exact justice to every one.The Republicans claim they.brought prosperity by the tariff.They have raised the wall sé high the outside couldn't come in.For inside but now they have gotten to- gether on the inside and agreed on prices that they may control every- thing.It is a criminal agreement to protéct themselves from competi-}tion from ‘one another.-Protection of |monopolies by the protective.tariff|- icosts the people of North Carolina more than $50,000,000 a year.Enough to equip all institutions of the State, build roads,etc.This goes to great.vaults of those who.don’t toil or spin.

For two hours Friday,in Iredell court house,ex-Congressman Thos, Settle,Republican candidate for Gov-ernor,Aacile princeps of Republican orators n\North ‘arolina,assailed the De ts with biting sarcasm and bitter irony.Mr.Settle was intreduced by Mr. J.W.C.-Long,the Republican coun- ty chairman.The audience was small—about 150.Most of then were frém the country and most of them old- line Republicans or their descendants.Mr.Settle began at 12:15.In addi-tion to being a.good speaker,he is a man.of fine presence and a man of ability.Most of his hearers were in sympathy,with him and he was liber- ally applauded,There was,however, an’entire absence.of buoyanty in theaddress.Mr.Settle appears to realize that the case.is hopeless for the Re-publicans,nationally as well as in the: State,and he’occupied ‘his time.ridi- culing.the Democrats for what he.al- lezed’they have done or.have.failed. to do in the State, gloomy forebodings of.the disasterheaverswillfollowanothernational Democratic:administration?He did not’mention President Taft,Col.

There are two leading parties in this country and the question is,which will you choose.He admitted the Repub- lican”party is not perfect because all human institutions are liable to err, but jhe asserted that the brightest pages in our history.,were writtenby.the ‘Republican ‘party.over the opposition of the Democrats;that whenever ,there has been a departure from the principles of the Republi- can party disaster has followed.The people rule,said Mr.Settle.The Democratic orators who are saying It’s strange that peo- ~ple of refinement and in many instances people of means are fooled to buying the:cheapest kind of pianos at an un- reasonable big _price, considering the grade of the piano,through the practice of misleading. schemes. The time-honored firm OF CHAS.M.STIEFF has never advocated the sale of cheap pianos nor allowed unbusinesslike- methods to enter their business calculated to mislead their patrons.

The Democratic speakers don't| |talk about the cotton tariff,he assert- ;ed,ignoring the fact that Mr.Under- |¥ood had done that same at Salisbury a few weeks ago.The textile indus-| ltey is the.chief industry of our State|jand the South,Mr.Settle continued; jand then:he indulged in the usual talk of 4 and 5 cent cotton under ;Cleveland and the days of gloom |while the mills were shut down and| industry paralyzed,al because the |Democrats were in power.Mr.Set- j tle of course knows that during the| |past four years the cotton mills have | j had about the hardest time of their |lives.That since 1907,under a high \tariff and R epublican administrations, few cotton mills have’made any jmoney.That only recentiy has bus-| iness begun to improve,and that since the Democrats have come into power in.Congress and’passed the cotton| tariff bills which he says would have destroyed us had they not been ve- toed;and that with the’practical ab< Democratic President,there is every prospect,of a great revival in busi- ness and prosperous times.But wasn’t Mr.Settle’s business to talk about that. But Mr.Settle went after the mill men for their attitude on the tariff. When it was proposed to reduce the| tariff_on cotton goods,the mill men asked to be heard and were refused. Delegations were sent to Washing ton to protest and he read letters from many mill men in-the State w ho wrote the committee that any inte? ference wien the tariff would destrov | the mills.-But the Democrats,said Mr.Settle,twice passed a bill reduc- ing the tariff on cotton goods.Then these mill:men appealed tothe Repub- licans to save them from their-friends, ‘were saved by a Repuplican veto: And then,with the biting sarcasm of which he is master,Mr.Settleheld.the mill men up to ridicule for voting for one thing ana asking”foranother.If the mill men are enjoy- ing any prosperity now,he says,itisduetothevetooftheRepubii- “My Machine Shop| Is complete and I am prepared to do any kind of repair work.

The senatorial campaign and “What is a Democrat?”—having reference ?the disspute as to the qualifications or voting in the primary—came in fer a good sharé df attention and Gov.Kitchin was freely ridiculed. Mr.Settle.has.cause for grievance there.It was ‘Gov.Kitchin who drove him from Congress after several oth- er Democrats had tried:it and failed. The Democrats’passed the prohi- bition law,asserts Mr.Settle,to take the minds of the people off their brok- en pledges and promises; of these Democratic orators who spoke for prohibition were so full of chain-lightning that if you nad ta ped them on the chest they wont have beatied in the eye.”Prohibition mind some of the lo¢alities where the law is not enforced). alone,$3,000,000 was paid in one year for liquor shipped into North Caro- 000 for the discriminating |rates means we are slowly bleedingto | |death,says Mr.Settle,)while fruit |enough is rotting on the ground to} jpay the State taxes.twice.-Kvery| county,city; is in debt and taxes are higher.Near-|ily all these woes,one would infer||from Mr:Settle’s talk,are due to! prohibition.

The Landmark,as its readers know, has not taken a ‘rank hold in the senatorial campaign.While it favors the candidacy of Gov.Kitchin,it is a-newspaper and not:an organ and does not devote all its space and time to boosting the fortunes of any,in- dividual.While it is not in agreement with Senator Simmons .it has been gone out of ‘its way to say a,good word for.Judge Clark when it thought he was unjust- Tt went out of its way 'within’the past.few months to,Say tee ;eo be misled by ‘of thanks from:the _in the that it'did not’take seriously certain charges.made ‘against Senator.Sim- mons,‘for which it received a letter Senator.This attitude of the paper is not a matter of policy,but preference. The Landmark strenuously opposed Senator Simmons when he was a can- didate for the Senate the first time ‘and jearnestly supported Gen Carr. It has never been a supporter of the Senator,for reasons entirely satisfac- tory to itself,but it has commended |:- him when it thought he =deserved commendation and expects to continue to do so.While disagreeing with him entirely in his first Lorimer vote, this paper gave him credit for hon- esty.It criticised his second Lori- mer vote,because he seemed to run away from his first position after a storm Was’raised. The Landmark opposed Gov.-Kitch- in when he was a candidate for Goy- ernor four years ago because.it pre- ferred Mr.Craig.n this contegt it ’prefers Goy.Kitchin to Senator.Sim- mons.It has criticised the Governor, and expects to do so again whenevér’ it disagrees with him.|Also,as jis well known,‘this paper)has been a .strong opponent of Judge Clark. All this for the benefit of Webster's Weekly and any others interested. Webster’s Weekly,which keepsa file of its exchanges and on occasion pub- lishes past utterances of its contem- ‘poraries which it thinks-will confuse or confound them,-has recently pub- lished several extracts.from ‘The Landmark complimentary to Senator Simmons and in criticism of Gov; Kitchin,which were calculated,if not intended,to give the impression that this paper had changed its attitude toward Senator Simmons.The Week- ly is good enough to say The Land; mark is a fairpaper.It tries to be. If it wanted-to be unfair it could saywithtruththatitwasincompany with the Weekly in 1900 in champion- ing Gen.Carr and fighting Simmons, while the Weekly is now for Simmons. But that would not be fair,for the Weekly has ¢hanged editors sindé that time.Our contemporary ,will pardon us,however,for saying that ithasnotbeenexactly-fair to TheLandmark.While publishing ‘thecomplimentarythings.this paper hassaidofSenatorSimmons,and which sit has no desire to retract,it did notpublishthecriticismsthispaperhasmadeoftheSenator*s record.If the Weekly will examine the file of TheLandmarkduringthepertodthePayne-Aldrich tariff bill.was’“underconsideration,in 1909,it will findnumerouscriticismsoftheSenator’s tariff votes,which Gov.Kitchin hassincecriticised.-For instance,.TheLandmarkcharged,when the Senatorwasadvocatingadutyoncottonseedoil,that he was standing"for pro- tection pure and simple. The Landmark has not changed.itsviewsabouttheSenator’s attitude onthetariff.Therefore it is support-ing Gov.Kitchin,with whose tariff views it is in agreement,and becauseitbelievesheistheequalofanyman The readers of this paper who havekepttrackofitsviewsknowitsposi-tion.This statement is madefore}benefit.of any.interpated who might sre 2 nsthroughfailuretostateallthefacts.tical Gov.Wilson’s appeal to the voters| The.resolution adnatex by the Dem- ocratic State committee regulating the voting in the senatorial primary, lets down the bars for scratching. The resolution merely provides that an elector “shall have voted for nom- inees of the Democratic party only,” to be eligible to vote in the primary. That is tosay,so long as one.votes for any of the Democratic nominees and does not vote in opposition to any of the norhinees,he can express his choice for Senator.He Is not requir- ed to vote(for any particular candi- date or candidates or for any cer- tain number,but must vote for some of them.That is certainly broad enough...On the whole,the scratch- ing amounts to little,but the average voter naturally objects to being told that’he must do certain things.He reserves'the right.‘to.exereise -his judgment. another.for some reason or,for no reason,but the mass usually yote,the ticket pretty straight and the schateh- ing as a rule amounts to little in the general result.The vote on the adop- tion of this resolution was 31 to 20 and the friends of the different can- didates seem to have been divided in their views—some of the supporters of each candidate voting.for and some against the resolution. The commissioner of internal reve- nue,who is preparing his report to be submitted to Congress,has this to say.of conditions in’North Carolina: Conditions in North Carolina,as far as his work is concetned,were never ‘better,the commissioner ‘said.“North Carolina has made a stronger efforttoenforceherprohibitionlawsthan any other State’having.State-wide prohibition.There has been no sensa- tionalincrease or decreasein the num- ber of moonshine distilleries my men have detected in North Carolina in the past year.Of course we have found some moonshiners,just as we have found every’year in the past.But the number has not been excep- tionally large or small.From the standpoint of law observance I can say that conditions in North Carolinaaregood.” That is a-contradiction of the state- ment of Mr.Thos.Settle,Republican candidate for Governor,that prohibi- tion is a miserable failure in North Carolina. Gov.Wilson’s |attention -having been called to a report current in Wall street,that if elected he would call an extra session of Congress to revise the tariff,the Governor said: “Wall street is not making plans for me,nor is it authorized to speak for me on anything;and furthermore, I would not consider any question like that,unless I had the rignt and pow- er to do so.’' That's the right sort of talk.Among the many things that should commend, Gov.Wilson to the average voter,the best is that if.elected.President he e_in character and_ability! ;#re_thoroughly |up_ |nected by an andere cond motor rail- will be his own man,He has already shown that as Governor of New Jer- _— A report was sent out from Ashe- ville last week that the Republicans and Progressives would combine on a State ticket and support Settle for Governor.Iredell Meares,thd Pro- gressive candidate for Governor,says the report is not true;that he is in the-race to the end.Those reports seem to be circulated.to injure Meares and get the Bull Moose folks to vote for Settle.: ~Just a week and the a over agony will be —— The War in the Balkans.

PRIMARY QUALIFICATIONS. The Final Agtion of the State Com- mittee Regulating the Voting in the Senatorial Primary. The.Democratic State committee, about 50 being present in person and by proxy,discussed for three hours Thursday night the qualifications-for voting in the.Democratic senatorial primary 5.The resolu- November 5. tion requiring that one must vote forallDemocraticnomineestobe’eligi- ble to vote in the primary,was re- scinded on motion of Mr.A,D.Watts. Finally,by-a vote wf 31 to 20,the committee.adopted the following res-olution,introduced by Mr.A.W.Mc- Lean of Robeson county: “Resolved,that in the opinion of -/the committee the words-‘Democraticticket’as used-in the fourth and tenthrulesgoverningthesenatorialpri- mary,adopted by the State conven- tion,shall be construed to permit any elector who shall have voted for nomi- nees of the Democratic party only and who shall not have voted for any.candidate .on any ticxet.in opposition to the Democratic ticket,to vote in said primary.” In calling the committee'to order, Chairman Webb stared that he had received 500 letters and telegrams ||protesting against the action of the committee requiring an-elector to vete for all Democratic eandidates to be eligible to vote in tne primary.A resolution which Mf.Webb thought would be satisfactory,was”offered. It was as follows:i 1,That the ‘Democratic ticket”as used in the fourth and tenth rules governing.the senatorial primary, means.the.Democratic -presidential, pcongressional,_—_State,_-—_tepistative, county and township tickets.race 2..That any elector shall be strued to have sufficiently complied with said rules who shall vote Democratic presidential,congression- al and legislative ticxets in full;and at least three-fourths of the Demo- cratic State ticket,one of whom shall be the Governor,and at least three- fourths of the county and township tickets;provided,however,that such candidate running,on any ticket inoppositiontotheregularDemocraticnominees, Mr.L.L.Smith,of Gates,offered a substitute which pfovided that an elector should vote for the national, State,congressional,legislative,coun- ty.and township tickets,and that noelectorwhomayfailtevote every name on the ticket-shall there- by be disqualified from voting in the senatorial primary.‘he elector must This was objected to and other regol- utions met the same fate.Finally the McLean resolution was adopted andthe.committee..adjourned,:eerie Any skin itching is a temper fester.»The Mr.Justice closed his case by call--}129 con-* the3-- elector shall not have voted for ang for. not.vote for the oppdsition ticket,’ MR...TAFT’S CHEAP ‘POLITICS. Appeal to Sectionas Prejudice andAttempt:to Saddle RepublicanFaultsonDemocrats.::New York Times. One is tempted to wonder who wrote the curious statement.put out:by President Taft on the eve of the election;and if it be one of the staffoftheRepublicanLiteraryBureau,one wonders if the starving of the cam- paign fund is responsible for the em-ployment of a writer so unskillful, weak,and banal,And still the won- er grows that Mr.Taft—eminentjurist,accomplished diplomatist,ex+perienced statesman,of broad views and .lofty ideals—should be willing to attach his name to a production so narrow,shallow,:rnept,’and im-pertinent.The theory that the President him-self is the author is one that his sin-cere admirers will accept onlthegreatestreluctance.Yet since he has chosen to’assume the authorship of the statement,he must.be.held responsible for it.His*friends may:comfort themselves with the.explara-tion that he read:it carelessly andneverstoppedtoanalyzeitsabsurdi- ties or grasp.its impudent misrepre- sentations;but they cannot free:him’ from the accountability he has as-sumed.:'YTheburdenofthe-statement is thateverythingthathasmadeforpros- .perity and progress in the last fifty years must be credited to the Repub- li¢an party,and everything that has checked progress and prosperity must be charged to.the.Democrats.We are asked at the outset to believe the amazing proposition that opposition to the Republiean party in 1912 is asdangerousandunpatrvotteaswasop- position to Lincoln in 1860,and that “for Baltimore to supplant Chicago” this year would be as Nankerotia as it would have been 62 Joare ago.If ‘we pass by:this queer rhetorical v¢nture on the part of a man who knows the momentous days of the civil war onlyfromschoolbooks,we come upon the equally preposterous argument that all our economie advance,including the fertility of our ‘soil and the bless- ings of sunshine and rain,are the in- direct gift of the party which Mr. Taft tries to lead:“The farmers are enjoying the greatest prosperity in with | the experience of American ‘agricul- ture.”Therefore,vote for me! The denunciation of -the Democrats is as extreme as the adulation of the Republicans: “From all parts of the country as-| surances are coming that Democrats intend to vote for the Republican’can- didates and a continuanve of pros-perous ‘business conditions,and lagainst the programmes of economic jconfusion and sociaststic subversion} }of our institutions supported by the|Democratic candidates and their al- |lies.‘Democratic workingmen refuse| |to be led from the factory and good |wages of 1912 back to the Democratic|hard times of 1893-97,They.prefer| jindependence and~meney in the say- lings bank to loss ye employment and|dependence on charity.” Now;Mr.-Taft was 56.years old in and had server two years as |solicitor general of the United States| under the presidency of Mr.Harri-| son.As to the events of tne period! he mentions as ‘“Wemocratic.hard} times”and as to their causes and} their consequences he cannot in reas-| on plead the baby act,as he may with| reference to those of the civil war.} He ought to know that the distress| of 1893-97 was caused chiefly by the} Sherman silver purchase act,which! drained the Treasury of gold.and} pumped it full of depreciated silver.| And he ought to kwow that)national} disaster and dishonor from this cause| were prevented only py the sp}endid| courage,the stern determination and| the unselfish devotion to duty of} Grover Cleveland.He ought to know, moreover,that the Harrison adminis-| tration,with which he was associat- ed,cringed cowardly and helpless be- fore the obviously approaching storm, and left 'to its successor not only.the fatal silver legislation te-.which we have referred but a Treasury emp- tied by extravagance.The “hard times of 1893-97”were not Démocrat- ic;they were in large part the mis- erable bequest of Republican ignor- ance,incapacity and timidity. Mr.Taft's statement is singularly unworthy of him.He has in his time done good things and worked forgreatones.It is needless,and it is useless,for him to stoop to the lure of cheap politics.et ‘ HIGH-O-ME!
