PARTY LOYALTY

"Oh, what a goodly outside falsehOod
hathi" exclaimed Antonio. and he was
not familiar with Addicks journalism
either.
A morning paper has been endeavor-
ing to define Republicanism recently
and if the line Of conduct mapped out
for party followers is correct, then we
prefer some other organization.
But we take issue sduarely with its
statements; the Republican party is not
an organization imposing servlity on
its adherents. Possession may be nine
points OF the law, but wihen 1t has
been obtained illegally and corruply
the other point is sufficient TO secure
am ejectment
It is ever the purpose Of unscrupu-
lOus demagogues to get possession
of The party machinery, by any and
every means, save by honest methods
and thon to command obedience to its
dictator. But that which keeps any
organization clean, and lifts IL from
the slough OF abject debasement is the
element which thinks for itself, and re-
serves the right OF free action. With
out this our politics would sink so low
that IL would be a stencil in the nos
trils OF men.
Now there must be an organization,
and that means party machinery. Il
means that there will be men seeking
Office. and that money must be used
for purposes more or less legitimate.
But it doesn't mean that the power oi
dine boss is TO be unquestionod; that all
the acts Of the man in Office are TO be
sanctioned. and that the fraudulent and
vicious use Of money is to be excused.
Such party allegiance would mean
that one must throw aside, not only his
individuality, but he must have nc
moral sense. not even religious convic-
tions. II would mean that once a Re
publican. always a Republican, and
while under cur servile allegiance The
machine would be running the party
our allegiance could still be relied on
OF course. in all human affairs, every
sensible man realizes the impossibiiitl
of attaining hls ultimate ideal. but fol
that reason, no sane man abolishes, hi
ideals. Few men find, even in theii
church. their absolute conceptions o
correct religious Worship, yet they d'
not surrender every whit of individual
opinion. AS long as men live together
and have a community of Interests
they will have differences; some OF thes
are absolute, others may be reconcilet
And a member of a political organiza
ton must always accept principles o
candidates that do not meet with lhi
unqualified approval He decides fc
himself how far he can so; and whe
mis- party, under certain leaders, grow
corrupt and intolerable, he either II
volts and joins another organization, {
makes a protest while still retainin
party allegiance.
OF course. there are persons with0l
Judgment or character who are Repu
lcans or Democrats for no other re
son than because they are" They mi
be expected to swallow any dose al
protest they like IT, This element Civ

MONROE SETS THE PACE.

The Durham people were the first in
North Carolina to build a model library
building and stock it with an excellent
supply Of good books for the use of every
body in the city. They didn't wait fol-
Mr.. Carnegie to furnish the money but
took it out of their own pockets.
No town in the State except Raleigh
possesses a citizen who has presented SO
noble a gift to his city as Mr.. R. B.
Raney gave to the capital of the State
in the Olivia Raney Library-the best and
most elegant library in the South.
Charlotte has this week voted to ao-
cept Mr.. Carnegies gift of $4,000 to
erect public library in that progressive
city
noir and Kinston-have long maintained
a library association and helped to devel-
op taste for reading and furnished
books to meet the taste created. But
few towns have a Raney. Carr, or a
Duke, and fewer still can secure gift
from Mr.. Carnegie, and so the only hope
for public library lies in the united ac-
tion Of all its citizens-a policy that even
in Raleigh, Charlotte and Durham is ne
cessary for maintenance and growth Of
the Libraries already established.
Our Monroe correspondent writes that
''the new graded school building will
contain one large reading room FOR THE
USE OF THE TOWN as well as for the
graded school" This idea, which we at
tribute to Prof Brooks is an inspira-
tion. 1t sets the pace for other COM
munities. Instead of a separate build
ing, room in the graded school build
ing, when centrally located, will make it
comparatively easy for every town to
maintain a public library in connection
with its graded school, and we commend
the Monroe plan to the other towns that
have recently voted to establish graded
schools or to enlarge schools already or
ganized. In cities having public Libraries,
most parents send their children for
books and they could do this the more
easily if the public library is established
in connection with the graded schools.
The last Legislature married the rural
libraries to the rural public schools, and
the towns and villages should go and do

Paine's Celery Compound is not a patent

No class Of professional men are more
conservative, more careful in giving adj
vice or more painstakng in finding out

When doctors of known repute not only
prescribe and use, but also carry home
Paine's Celery Compound for their own
families, there can be no doubt Of its
high standing in the eyes of medical men

GRADED SCHOOL AT OXFORD.

The success of the Oxford Graded
school election, even by the small margin,
is largely due to the aggressive and zeal
Gus fight for the school made by the Ok
ford Ledger. Editor Britts paper was full
of arguments and appeals that are needed
everywhere to arouse the people to pro-
vide better public schools. Oxford has
always enjoyed-and now enjoys-such
excellent private schools that some OF its
citizens could not be convinced of the
necessity of q graded school. But after
it is in operation, they will be proud of it
and be numbered among it's staunchest
supporters.

ENJOINED.
Chancellor Cook Grants an Injunction
Against the City
Restraining 1t from EnfoIc cling the
$50 O'Clock Saloon Closing Law.
Says 1t Is Oppressive and
Unreasonable.

The $50 o'clock saloon closing law
which was passed by the Board of
Mayor and Aldermen Thursday night,
is not in operation. Friday after.
noon, Mr.. w j. Webster, the attorney
for the whisky sellers, went up to
Franklin and obtained an Injunction
from Chancellor ii. ii. = restrain
ing the city from enforcing Une law.
The reasons set forth in the prayer
for the injunction we're that the law was
oppressive and unjust; that it was
passed at adjourned meetings instead of
regular meetings; that the Mayor signed
the law after he had rendered his resig-
nation. We are informed, however,
that the ground upon which the Chan
cellor granted the injunction was that of
the first complaint above mentioned
that the law was oppressive, nnreason-
able and unjust. He did not consider
the technical objections set forth in re-
gard to the passage Of the bill through
the council at all.
tie said that the law was clearly un-
reasonable, in that it sought o prohibit
legitimate business, licensed by law,
from transacting business during bust
ness hours; that the city had the right
to regulate and restrict the sale of whis,
key after regular business hours, but
that $50 o'clock could not be considered
latter regular business hours" the
city had no right to force the closing OF
any legitimate business so as to deprive
it of hours to which it was justly and
reas onably entitled.
AS result of the granting of the in
junction, the bell has not been ringing
at $50 o'clock, as was expected,
and the saloons keep open until the
usual hour.

ANSWER FILED
To the Injunction Bill Against Early
Closing Law.
Motion Will Be Made Before Chan
cellor Alternately Saturday,
to Dissolve the In
junction.

Messrs. James A. Smiser and w. S.
Fleming, counsel for the corporation,
Monday morning filed a full and COM
plete answer to the injunction bill re-
straining the city from enforcing the
8 80 O. clock saloon closing law. The
bill was filed in the Chancery Court at
this place, and notice was given to
the other side that the attorneys for the
city would move to dissolve the injunc-
tion before Chancellor Alternately next
Saturday at Pulaski.
The principal allegations contained
in the injunction bill are, first, that
the hour for closing as fixed by the
new law is unreasonable, unjust and
burdensome. Chancellor Cook, hold
ing to this view of the case, granted
the Injunction. Chancellor Cook s
opinion, however, is at variance with
the decision of the Supreme Court on
the subject and, while the first injunc-
tion against the early closing law
several months ago was decided upon
another ground, still this identical
point was involved in that case and
Chancellor Alternately said although
he did not include it in the decree that
the requirement was not burdensome
or unjust but reasonable and valid.
Another allegation in this injunction
bill is that the Mayor signed the law
after he rendered his resignation. Al
matter of fact this is not true. Sc
palpably untrue and so easily dis
proven is it that it will probably moi
be insisted upon in the argument of the
case
Another allegation is that the bill
was passed at adjourned meetings o.
the BOARD irregularly adjourned; bu
the minutes of the Board do not sus
tain the allegation.
1t is further alleged that the or
dinance was amended on its thirt
reading, and passed only once after be
ing amended, which renders it invalid
The contention that it was so passed
is true but that it affects the validit.
of the bill, is denied.
If-after the motion to dissolve ha
been argued before Chancellor Aber
nathy Saturday-the Chancellor decid
es to dissolve it, there will be no appea
and the law will be Immediately en-
| forced. If he refuses to dissolve the in
junction it will stand until the OctObe
term of court when the case will b
tried upon is merits.
