PROFESSIONS VS.. DEEDS.

People who understand po-
litical conditions know the Re-
publican party made Trusts
possible and have given them
such protection as they needed,
and it is rather a reflection up
on the sincerity of President
Roosevelt to hear him talk of
curbing the creature that has
placed his party in power and
kept it there. The President
is getting some hard raps these
days for not doing what the
people feel he ought to do. One
of these came from an eminent
New York preacher last Sun
day. The speaker declared that
President Roosevelt had the
power to end the coal strike if
he would exercise it. Rev. Bent
ley thought it might be a good
thing if the price of coal was
permitted to go to 800 or $50 a
ton. 1t would open the eyes
of the people, both rich and
poor, to the absurdity of such
statements as that made by
President Baer concerning the
control of necessities by a hand
full of men. Such an object
lesson would put the screws on
rich and poor alike, and there
would be a clamor for univer-
sal ownership. The speaker
intimated that j. p. Morgan is
the "real President of the Unit
ed States,' and expressed the
view that unless universal own
ership comes to pass a condition
of benevolent feudalism would
follow. He believed "crushing
the labor unions was fighting
Almighty God" Mr.. Bently
then spoke of the ills of labor
unions, and said the chief troub-
lie was a lack of true brother
hood. He spoke in eulogistic
terms of President Mitchell.

McALLEN NOMINATED.

trict assembled in Salisbury last
Friday, and after a lively dis
cussion of resolutions to endorse
the work of the anti-saloon
league and the anti-bribery can
didate of the Democrats, defeat
ed both resolutions and nomi-
mated Mr.. r. James McAllen,
of Snow Hill, for Congress. Mr..
McAllen is one of our most es-
timable citizens, but has no
chance of election. The con-
test is between Mr.. James f..
Ellegood and Mr.. William III.
jackson. The question for vot-
ers to consider is which of
these men is best fitted for the
high Office of Congressman, and
can best represent the First
Congressional District in the
59th Congress of the United
States. We believe the public
recognizes the eminent quail
fications of Mr.. Ellegood and a
majority of the voters of the
District will rally to his support
and elect him.
