JHE GREAT SCARCITY OF LABOR
Since our last issue We have each
day seen and heard OF further svid-
soces Of . general negro exodus
from North Carolina. The other dav
one hundred negroes left Gold sboro
on one tram, declaring their inten-
ton never to return. The New York
sun in IN editorial G commenting upon
the necessity OF negro labor in the
South, and the present exodus move
ment, says:
The necessity OF this negro labor
TO the Southern States 10 obvious.
The maintenance OF their civilixa-
ton a now organic ID depends on 1t,
and no change in the charas.sr Of
the labor 10 possible except by slow
DEVELOPMENT. Such q change 10 not
desired by the South. The prospect
OF . general exodus Of the negroes
from it would produce alarm snd
agitation by the side Of which the
present excitement over their poiiti.
cal status would seem . mild ef1er.
vescenee OF feeling"
i This states the situation exactly
except that the "prospec," Of negro
exodus is each day becoming q
serious Reality. Negro labor is al
rsady too scarce in the East. Ii
it get much scarcer and then thou

Renewed applause.
Courage has always been admired
but sometimes people have admired
physical courage more than they
have admired moral courage. r
my mind moral courage Is as mucl
above physical courage as man il
above the brute. Physical courage
is a trait that man shares with al
animal creation.
"MOral courage is that characters
tic which distinguishes the anima
from man, made in the image Q
Ibis Creator. 1t requires ply sica
courage to stand before the bullet
Of an enemy, yet when fife and drum
inspire few have been known to re
treat before the foe; but moral coul
age is often wanting where physics
courage Is present, and what this ms
ton needs more than the physics
courage Of its people is the mora
courage Of the citizen who woul
rather die right than live wrong
), Great applause.) 1t requires mors
: courage for a man to separate fror
his party. Party ties are strons
, party obligations are strong, and
is easier for the man who holds n
loffice at the hands of his party
leave his party than it liz for tn,
man to leave who has been honore
by his party associates"
How much Of the above doctrir
does the Democratic Red-shirt m

fession that the only way to hole

Mr.. Bryan is each day picturing
all the horrors OF imperialism in
the Philippines. Will he come to
North Carolina and apply the same
doctrine to the situation in this
State? If he does he will have to
ienounce Simmons and the redshirt
machine in this State more vigor-
nusly than he denounces NICK inley'e

HOW DOES THIS DOCTRINE sOIrNr
TO DEMOCRATS IN NORTH CAR
OLINAY

Mr.. Bryan in one of his speeches
in West Virginia last week, discuss.
ing imperialism, said that wheneve,
and wherever the ques, ion of human
liberty was raised, that it at once
overshadowed every other question
and issue until it was settled, and
settled on the side of liberty. Iu
discussing and defining liberty, he
declared as fundamental that Their,
must be no taxation without repre-
sentation, that there must be no gov.
eminent without the consent of tn.
governed, and that free speech and
the free voice and will Of the people
must be heard and expressed.
There is nothing new in this doc
trine. 1t is as old as the Declaration
OF independence. Tuese are the
principles that our forefathers tough,
for IN the Revolutionary War. They
are the principles, that, on the other
hand, were spit upon and denied b1
the British Redcoats and their Amer.
loan Tory allies. But how do thsst
fundamental principles from tn.
Declaration Of Independence as set
forth by Mr.. Bryan, sound to North
Carolina Democrats? On which side
OF this groat question of liberty did

chine statdf If Mr.. Bryan would
come to North Carolina and make
such speech he would find no one
to endorse his utterances exce.t tn,
