isfation-an utter disregard of which
has cost him and his political workers
thousands of votes in state elections
so far held.
Monetary legislation has fallen far
short of what Republicans as we'll as
Democrats expected of the present
administration, and the old cry of
well do it if you will only keep us
in power, is no longer an excuse to
make free silver a bugaboo in the
minds of the American people.
Prosperity, a favorable balance of
trade, the treasury surplus and other
matters obtainable from no other
source than natural conditions, pro-
ductive lands, etc., have been so word
ed that without thinking moment,
the average reader would come to the
conclusion that the administration
was to be thanked for the sunshine
and showers, delightful climate, ETC.,
and that without such an obstruction
as the Mckinley administration Bryan
and his followers would forever blot
out everything but general despair
and I6 to 1.
His letter would have been little
more interesting if it had not been
so important for what it o1nits. At

right in his refusal to

The FREE PRESS wants to be one O.
a very large family to say nice anc
pleasant things-say nothing that
would make single one of its read
ers think it's editor is naughty or in
the least uncharitable and that his
main object at all time is to build up
Southern Pines. 1t is we'll known
that an editor is not responsible for
the views of correspondents, and it
ought to be well known that when we
copy an article from another paper it
does not mean that we won1d have
written the same way on the subject
included. And also we wish it dis
tinct1y understood that when we have
anything to say about politics it is
purely from non-partisan standpoint.
We claim the right to hold this posi-
ton, or to fight for the party Of our
choice, but at present it is not to our
interests to enter politics, and if we
say that one party or the other is
hunting for votes in order to maintain
itself in power, we do not do so for
partisan purposes.
We have read with a great deal of
interest the editorial criticisms of
President Mckinley letter of accept
ance, and not being content to let
such an item as a Presidents letter
pass unnoticed, we are going to say
that if President Mckinley wishes to
spend lot of time, and occupy big
amount of space in the newspapers to
defend his own administration, and
offer supposedly valid reasons why
the people hould vote for him again
we shall not get out an injunction
against him.
A labored defense of his war policy
