MINATED demagogy when reinforced by a
coplous supply of adjectives and GER
tam facility in windjamming. But it is
the ugly truth and little enough to
the credit of the American people that
these qualities win where solid ability
fails. While it is true that you cannot
fool all the people all the time, you can
fool a majority of them most of the
time.

A WISE SUGGESTION.

A WISE SUGGESTION.
Greensboro Record.
That is a wise suggestion made by the
Raleigh News and Observer that the
work OF State convention cannot be
finished in one day and a night. Gov
Jarvis, who was in the city yesterday
is of like mind He says it is within
two years hence to map out programme
Of the work to be done, and that it will
be followed. The News and Observer
says, and very truly, that candidates are
nominated and that no time is left for
! the more important matter Of the plat
form. 1t is always the last thing COM
ing up, when probably over half of the
delegates have gone. The proper way
it seems to us would be to follow the
plan adopted in Guilford in our county
nominating conventions Meet and per-
feet a permanent organization, appoint
the usual committees, place in nomina
ton the different candidates, then ad-
journ and give the committees time to
do their work. When the convention
next assemblies it can hear these reports
and act on and dispose of them, after
which the voting upon candidates can
be taken up Recently candidates have
been nominated before the platform is
be done. This is matter deserving of
careful consideration before the assem-
bling of another convention.

the Republicans endorsing Hill, of Hall

A PLATFORM rs A COVENANT,

The f1ippant saying that "a political
platform is made, like railroad plat
form, to get in on and not to stand on
has too often contained an element oil
truth. Too many public men have for
gotten the platform on which they were
elected, after taking the oath of office
Some people have lost confidence in
parties because trusted leaders have toe
often disregarded the platform declara-
tions. A party ought to fulfill every
promise faithfully. The recent Texas
Democratic platform contained a declara-
tion that deserves to be emphasized. 1t
was this:
I'VE believe that platform pledge is
q covenant with the people, and, there
fore, we declare it to be the highest duty
of every Democratic nominee to earnest
ly support and to urge the fulfllment OF
each promise set forth herein"
If all party men. all legislators, all
public officers would regard platform
pledge as "a covenant with the people,
and feel bound by that covenant, less
would be heard of broken promises. and
thsre- would-be born greater faith in
FATTY declarations.
The spirit of the Texas declaration
animated the platform makers at Green's
boro last week. They refused to put a
line in the platform that might bind the
party to serve any special interest, or g
paragraph open to double construction
The North Carolina platform is "a

we note especially several devoted TO Month

some interior awnings. and in many cases they
preserve material of which the architecture OF
