Candidates Must Pledge Themseiv.s

Candidates Must Pledge Themselves
A mass meeting is hereby called at the
Court House or Saturday night at 80 to
nominate candidates for mayor, council
men and the several offices in the city
government OF North Yakima, these nom
nations to be made on the following
platform and declaration of principles:
Whereas, we have in this state and in
this city laws and ordinances for the sup.
preston OF gambling and for the closing
of saloons on Sunday, and,
Whereas, in the past these laws and
ordinances have been in large measure
disregafded by our city councils and city
marshals; and,
Whereas. the ignoring of laws by those
in authority tends to 4 spirit of lawless-
ness and disregard for law by all classes
OF people and so makes good government
impracticable and endangers public
morals and personal safety. therefore be
it
Resolved, that We, the moral and law
abiding citizens of North Yakima, will
unite our forces to secure the enforceme ut
of existing laws.
2. That in nominating and voting Tor
men to serve as councilmen and fill the
various offices in the city government OF
North Yakima we will support only such
men as can be relied upon to enforce the
general laws OF the state and the ord.
nances of the city especially those relat-
ing gambling and the closing OF saloons
on Sunday.
3. That candidates for the various
offices in our city, to secure our support,
must on.their nomination sign an agree
ment to enforce the general laws OF the
state and the ordinances of this city
against gambling and against opening
saloons on Sunday
4. That we call upon and most earn
estly urge every we'll meaning and law
abiding citizen in North Yakima to join
with us in the approaching city election
in securing councilmen and officers who
will carry out the spirit of these resolu.

THE COUNTY TICKET.

The county democratic convention
having been held and candidates named
more than three months before the
election, we have not thought it neces-
sary to take up space on our editorial
page every week with the ticket stand
ing. Later we shall print the ticket as
nominated in Halifax August LIST, and
we shall also make personal mention OF
the different names They are all good
men and we'll known IN the county Sc
we shall give our readers the advantage
Of the space their names would occupy
until lateron when the campaign opens
In the meantime we would suggest
to all democrats that there IS need fOl
earnest and persistent efforts to KEEP
our forces we'll organized. Every man
should look we'll to good government
for the State and the Counties first.

THE SENA TIE BILL.

Sometime ago the lower branch of
Congress passed the Wilson tariff bill.
The Senate amended it, but the House
would not agree to the amendments.
A conference committee was appointed
to arrange for agreement For weeks
and weeks this conference committee
has tried to reach agreement. The
House last Monday withdrew objections
to the bill as amended by the Senate.
and SO it will be law if the President
approves.
At once the House introduced sepa-

CAPT. A .SIIE AND THE Ne " s
AND OBSERTER.

Capt. S. A. Ashe, whose name has
been 50 long at the head Of the list in
North Carolina journalism, and whose
familiar face and wise cOunSels have been
for many years SO welcome at the editO-
rial gatherings in the State. has retired
from newspaper work and enters upon
the business of life insurance.
a more faithful defender OF the truth
in any cause has never figured amongst
any people. For many years the News
and Obserrer hasbeen the political chart
for the Democratic party in North
Carolina, and the wise and able counsel
given through its columns have done
more, perhaps. to hold the party's
interest together than any other single
influence in the State.
Capt. Ashe has edited that paper
with marked ability and his thousands
of admiring friends in all political par
ties throughout the State sustain a
personal loss by his retiring from his
hOnOred and useful and commanding
position and no one feels the loss more
keenly than the editor of THE DEMO
Graf.
The NeTs and Observer does not
stop its good work, however. because of
Capt. Ashes retirement, A new stock
company has been formed, consisting
OF large number OF stockholders
throughout the State. All the stock
holders are prominent and progressive
and the paper now with $4,000 capital
is on a tirmer and stronger basis finan-
cially than ever.
The new company was organized by
Mr. JosephuS Daniels, one of the most
tlreleSs newspaper men IN the South
and perhaps the most successful of his
age. Mr.. Daniels name is now a
household word throughout North Car
DINA, and the TACT that he has been
mace president Of the company and Will
direct the editorial policy of the paper
assures the public that it Will be kept
up to its standard.
Mr.. W. f. Christian. late of the New
New York Press. is associate editor
with Mr.. Daniels. and Mr. Fred L.
Merritt, who has much newspaper ex-
perlence, Is city editor
The first issue OF the paper under the
new management was sent out last
Sunday and Notwithstanding there
was such a change in typographical
appearance and general make up that
from its appearance one would not have
known it as the old NeWs and Observer
except by Its name, there was marked
evidence of commendable ENTERPRISE;
and the people of North Carolina NAV
feel perfectly safe in rallying around
this same old standard-bearer of democ-
racy.
Long live the Ners ant Observer
long life and unbounded prosperity to
Its former editor, the courteous. schOI-
arly and accomplished Capt. Ashe, and
cordial and happy greeting to the
new editors and the new management

Some Pointers for Mr.. Burns.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser.
Mr.. John Burns, the champion of the
English labor trades unions, is a man of
great natural ability and he deserves credit
for having risen to eminence, handicapped
as he is by a want of that training which.
laugh at it as successful money-getters
may, no amount of natural ability can COM
pensate for. Mr.. Burns has spent his life
in or about London, which to a man who
keeps his eyes open is in itself an educa-
ton. But great though the worlds me-
tropolis is, forty years there does not quail
ify man to pass judgment on America
after a forty-eght hours residence.
Mr.. Burns began his address at Cooper
Union on Monday night by announcing
that he was here to help confederate, with
out regard to nationality, all men who earn
their living by honest labor. On the face
of it this is an assumption that there are
men who labor dishonesty, or that men
who do not actually handle the severer i'm
plements of toll are barred from the frater-
nifty which he proposes to organize. Ills
trouble, like that of many honest labor
leaders, Is that he assumes, and without
show of reason, that men who use their
brains without using a heavier tool than
the pen are not honest toilers, and that the
employer, who plans, does not work quite
as hard as and more effectively in his way
than the man who plows or delves.
Mr. Burns is right-with hmitations-but
the danger to himself is that he will persist
in measuring American cloth by an English
yardstick. The yardstick may be all right,
but 1T presupposes an agreement on both
sides to its linear quantity. He pre-
pared himself for his Cooper Union speech
by visit to the slums of the East Side and
another visit to our great hotels and the pal
aces on 9th avenue. From this hasty in
spection he infers that the workingman is
worse off here than in England. If struc-
lures are to be taken evidences of the
differences in social position, Mr.. Burns can
find no more striking contrasts in any city
under the sun than are to be seen in East
and West London-Whitec and Bel
gravia.
There are Americans living on 9Th ave-
nue. today whose fathers lived in a tene-
berry street, but they had the brains to rer-
ceive their opportunities and the strength
to carry them out, and they have won.
How many men living on Oxford street or
Portland Square today had their birth
places near st. GATHERINGS Docks or Rad
cliffe Highway? We doubt IL there is one.
Mr.. Burns can do good over here IL he
will teach our workingmen to reason, but
his danger lies in his ignorance, and IN his
assumption that the only workers are
those who toll with their hands. 1t would
have been much better for his reputation
as a man of common sense and for his pur-
pose in confederating labor If he had stud
led the situation over here before he began
giving us advice.
The fault of most Englishmen who como
here to study our social and Industrial con-
ditions is that they feel qualified to write a
two-volume book-usually work OF the
ina gination--the day after they land.

Three MOOnshincrs Shot to Death at
COfseeville by Angry Alabaminns.
1t is reported that three white men,
George Brunson, Charles Smith and Lee
Brown, were lynched Sunday at CoffeevIlle,
in Clark county, Ala. Coffeeville is twenty
five miles from the railroad, and the report
was brought to Whatley, railroad sta
ton, by a man from Coffeeville.
The victims Of the lynchers were mem
bers of the notorious Meacham gang CT
nloonshiners and desperadoes, who were
driven into Mississippi last year after a
fight in which ten of the Meachamites were
killed.
Recently the members of the gang have
been returning one by one. About ten days
ago Murphy Fink, who was one of the
leaders in driving them out, was assassi-
mated. He lived long enough to proclaim
Brunson, Smith and Brown as his murder
erS.
The men were arrested and Jailed and
Sunday the citizens took .hem out and
shot them to death.
