Quite so. We made the same remark
the other day in connection with the
statement from a prominent Populist In
Kansas that ne and Populsts of his &C
quaintance generally were In favor OF
Roosevelt. The Democratic party is
strongest in It's integrity. 1t Is strongest
when 1t stands for Its own principles,
and when 1t makes no bid for the support
of parties or factions which are not In
direct accord with It's principles. When
ever 1t begins to bid FOR the votes OF
Populists or Socialists or free silver Re-
publicans. 1t is sure to weaken itself
and to lose more than 1t Will gain. III
these people choose to vote with the
Democrats, we'll, but 1t is blunder al
ways to cater to them by adopting any
Of their principles. which are contrary
to our own. or by compromising any OF
our principles to suit their particular

WHAT SALOONS COST RALEIGH

In an admirable and clear cut speech last
night, ex-Mayor A. A. Thompson gave
some facts and figures that will cause
thoughtful people to pause and reflect.
Raleigh pays more for saloons than for
all its churches, charity and religious pur-
poses 1t pays $74 900 more for whiskey
than the entire receipts of the city gov
ernment He shows that by establishment
of dispensary the citizens of Raleigh can
reduce the consumption of whiskey one
half and save to the city s11S,300 every
year-enough to build cotton factory
every twelve months and give employment
to many and add to the wealth of the city.
Recently many good citizens have been
up in arms to save a few thousand dol
lars because they believe that city prop
erty has been taxed too high, 1t is the
right of every man to protest and oppose
what he believes to be any injustice or
wrong in taxation, and this paper has
all along favored reducing any property
assessed at more than its true value in
money" But-men and brethren-on the
sixth day of October you will have an OPP
portunity by voting to close the saloons
to save your city $118,300 every year.
The establishment of dispensary will en-
able the city to reduce taxes, will promote
temperance and will make for cleaner pol
itics and better government
