TURKEYS BOOST HIGH.

Our sympathies go out to the poor
Standard Oil Company this Christmas
tide. It's business has been so tremendous
that it has increased the price of oil and
paid to Rockefeller and company many
millions of dollars in dividends. And yet
the following telegram from Cincinnati to
the Baltimore Sun, says that the poor com
pany will be obliged this year to discon-
tinue their Christmas gifts to their en-
ploves:
1.-THE employees of the Standard Oil Com
pany here have been notified not to expect
this year their annual Christmas present
from the corporation, which consists Of
turkey and quart of oysters or a $3.50
gold piece. The custom was established
many years ago by Alexander Mcdonald
and was side issue of charity so far
as the directors of the oil combine were
concerned.
1.-THE directors this year took up the
question of turkey distribution, and such
philanthropic souls as John D. Rockefeller
decided that as the price of turkeys will
be much higher this season than ever be-
fore-just like oil and profits on 1.-THE
company could hardly furnish the en-
ployes with their annual luxury

A MENACE TO SOUTHERN ClvILIZA-
TON.

The suggestion that this paper is inst-
gated by any personal feeling against
either the Durham professor or the RAJ
eigh preacher was born in the imagina-
ton of those who can find no answer to
just criticisms of the incendiary prophe.
cles of these two instructors. The
whole State knows that until
their dangerous expressions, tending to
subvert Southern civilization, this paper
had never criticized either of these gen
tlemen. When occasion had called for ref
erence to either of them it was in pleas
ant terms.
This paper is profoundly convinced thai
If such teachings pass without public
condemnation there will be a reaping OF
peace and good feeling between the races.
No man, whether preacher or professor
or what not, shall preach such dangerous
doctrine in North Carolina without this
paper printing his exact words and call
ing the attention of the people to the
heresy and the incendiarism which are
contained in them.
If, in the performance of this high duty,
malignant religio-political bosses, jealous
church members who permit their devo-
ton to their church to temporarily blind
them to the real situation,-aided by all
the trusts and monopolies in the State
join hands to boycott and try to destroy
doing, they will not at all affect the pol
icy which this paper has marked out tor
itself 1t is a policy it has consistently
pursued and a policy necessary to pre-
serve the supremacy OF the white race
and guarantee justice to the negro race.
In this course this paper knows no man.
1t has no fight on any man, on any church,
on any institution. It's fight is against
error wherever found.
The attempt to shield others, who can
not be defended, by the absurd declara
lions that this paper is inspired by "per
sonal malice is as silly as it will prove
impotent to harm. The folks of North
Carolina have too much sense TO believe
any such declarations. They are a sensi
BILE people and know that this paper
never criticizes church leaders who are
leading in safe paths. 1t is only the UNI
safe, the sensational, those who speak
words of incendiarism or sympathize with
such utterances who complain of the News
and Observer. Their declarations are
menace to Southern civilization, and as
such deserve the severest criticism.

BEFORE AND AFTER THE ORDERS


Every day now, since the Morning Post
COT ITS ORDERS to stand by Bassett, it
s< abusing everybody who criticises the
Trinity professor. ard is virtually the or
gan of Bassettism as well as of the South
ern Railway and the Cigarette Trust.
Before ITS ORDERS WE'RE SENT
DOWN, the Morning Post spoke out like
other North Carolina papers. In an edi-
torial in its issue of November 3rd. the
Post said that much learning hath made
the gentleman mad" "his sentiments are
not such that should be taught to either
race, and he who attempts to inculcate
such is sowing seeds which can only
sprout disorder and disaster" 1t said
that equality could not exist, ''and he
who enters the question as one for settle
ment other than as now obtains. however
honest he may be. is none the less dis
turber of the peace and therefore a public
danger" The Post opened the article by
saying it is 'astonished not that he should
say what he thinks, but that he thinks
what he says and closes with these
usefulness of the very able and learned
gentleman as a teacher is at an end. GER
tainly in North Carolina. Verb. Sap
That editorial took pretty strong ground
an3 is what, in newspaper parlance, is
known as "hot stuff No paper contain
ed a more severe arraignment. in fact it
is about the only paper that said the pro-
fessor was crazy and "a disturber of the
peace, and therefore a public DANGER"
closing with a prediction of Punishment of
the professor from North Carolina schools.
until the board of trustees decided to keep
Bassett. 1t accepted their action and said
it ought to be accepted by the public"
which is saying that its own opinion. ex-
pressed before "the orders had been seat
down should be repudiated. and it must
eat its own words.
1t is humiliating position to be in,
but a newspaper that runs as organ of the
Cigarette Trus. and the Southern Railway
must eat dirt when commanded. 1t is
because of such noted subservience to
trusts and monopolies that the wheezy old
organ has no influence in North Carolina.
The people viii respect paper that has
convictions and sticks up to them. even
though utterly disagreeing with its views,
but a paper that will eat its own words
and show its own abasement before monop
olies will never have the respect of the
people of North Carolina.

A WISE CONCLUSION.

The directors of the Wake Water Com
pany held a meeting yesterday and de-
cided to withdraw from the board of al
dermen their request for a renewal of
their contract with the city. 1t will be
remembered that at the last meeting of
the board application was made for re-
newal OF the present contract, which has
over three years yet to run, and com
mittee of the board was appointed to con-
fer with the owners of the plant.
AS soon as application for a renewal
OF the contract was made. this pager
protested against renewing the contract
at this time, and promised the people to
gather and publish figures showing the
cost of water to the people of every town
of the size of Raleigh in the South. 1t
protested against any action until the
people could pass upon the right given
them in the contract to purchase the sys-
tenn and operate it by the municipality. 1t
said that there was very grave doubt
whether this board of aldermen, without
legislative authority, could extend the
contract as desired by the water COM
pany.
II is gratifying to know that the direc-
tors of the water company have with
drawn the application. Later on, when the
proper time comes to consider new con-
tract or the purchase of the plant. all
the matters pertaining thereto can be
considered carefully, and the people OF
Raleigh can secure better contract than
tho prcsent situation promised.

boycott against paper that demands the
right of free speech. They are like the
Puritans, who came to this country u
enjoy freedom to worship God according
to their own conscience and then drove
Roger Williams into the wilderness be-
cause he wished to enjoy the same prlvi-
lege. In ninety-nine cases out OF every
hundred, if you will scratch one of these
howlers for "free speech" you will find
a Republican posing as an independent

AS TO PRESS MUzzLING.
Norfolk Pilot-Virginian.

4NOIlOih TiiOl-f II SlilidH'
Rev. Massee of Raleigh. thinks the
newspapers ought TO be muzzled TnoJ
have too much freedom and exercise too
much power, he said in the Baptist State
Convention in Charlotte the other day.
He is for the strong arm in dealing with
the obstreperous and cutspoken neWspa-
per.
The view becomes Rev. Massee, under
the circumstances, even as mutton chop
whiskers do the trust magnate. Mr..
EGassee some time ago preached q sermon
in which he went Prof. Bassett one bet
ter on the race proposition. His remarks
were, we believe, taken down by some
inquisitive and intrusive reporter and
subsequently submitted in proof to Mr..
Massee. Mr. Massee saw nothing wrong
with the matter, ard so the account APP
peared. The newspapers said some pretty
plain things and Mr.. Massee, having pass
ed on the proof of his deliverances, found
the coinage of a satisfactory explanation
laborious and painful process. Are we
wrong in the supposition that Mr.. Massee' s
views on press muzzling were appreciably
influenced by that experience?
Mr.. Massee VIII hardly be proud Of the
company his press muzzling views puts
him in Every crooked politician, every
CRATER, every boodler, every corruption
ist. every attorney for a greedy and I'M
scrupulous corporation, every wlnd-bag
whose pride has been pricked by news
paper estimate less than he puts upon him
self takes the same view of the matter as
Brother Massee. We could name, if it
were necessary, whole lot of folks who
like Mr. Masses view better than they
would a grand jury Investigation.
However, it will probably be tolerably
late in the season before either Brother
Massee or muzzlers of the other stripe
attain their hearts desire. There are still
whole lot of level-headed American
citizens who are actually so unreasonable
as to applaud the newspaper that lays
bare sham and hypocrisy. exposes graft
and boodhng, and opposes the theory that
the people are made to be robbed. In
deed, Mr. Massee stirred IN a swarm Of
precisely that sort of folks by his deliver
ances in the convention.
There has never been a time IN the ms
tory OF the country when the need Of a
free and fearless public press was SO sore
as it is today, for there was never time
when there was so much going on that
will not bear the light and that the PEG,
pie ought to know. And the people gen
orally are coming to understand this.
