Under aresurrected statute Chicago
is dealing with holdup men In way
that will rid that city of a most un-
desirable class of criminals. Within
one week nine men have been sent to
the penitentiary for life. That is the
kind of punishment that will deter
other men from adopting criminal pur
suits. The law of Indiana is entirely
too easy on criminals. 1t encourages
them instead of discouraging or terri
flying them.

Mr.. Broughton Brandenburg, writ
ing In Golfers for November 10, un-
der the title Of "Our Imported Grim

politicians and criminal agents abroad.
He says:
"There are sixty.five thousand f.au.
dulent or defective citizens papers in
Greater New York, seventy thousand
in Chicago, and something less than a
million on conservative estimate in
the United States. Few of the hol-
ders of these have been prevented from

Appearances indicate that the Pres
ident intends to have a cabinet of COM

that Senator Spooner would be made
Attorney General may be disposed of
by the fact that that position has been
offered TO Ex-Governor Black of New
York. But as his law practice is
worth 800, 900 annually it Is hardly
probable that he will take the place at
a salary of $4,000.

1t IS the opinion Of politicians in
Washington that no extra session of

War Claims Allowed.

Governor DurbIn has just received
notice from the war department that
vouchers to the amount of 50, 1871
had been allowed the state of Indiana
for money expended in the mobiliza-

expended by the state after the troops
were mustered into the government

Tuesday eliminates from leadership
the Clevelands and the Carlyles. 1t
does not of itself restore Mr.. Bryan
to chief leadership, but gives him a
commanding position in the councils
of the party. His declarations are full
OF wisdom and they will in the main
be endorsed by the Democrats in all
portions of the Republic.
The evil of monopoly control in
this country is too deep-seated to be
destroyed by throwing tufts Of grass
or earth at it. Nothing but hurting
stones will avail. The Democrats who
are always Democrats who voted for
Parker, and thousands of labor men
and others who voted for Roosevelt,
because they thought Parker might be
too much influenced by Cleveland and
Hill will rally in support of a radical

partnership in government. But there

eressive warfare against predatory

THE PRESIDENT AND THE SOUTH

Will the President change his poll
that he has been elected, permit the
South to work out it's destiny and to
solve it's problems without hostile
legislation and actions that tend to de-
stroy it's policies that are best for the
white man and the negro?
A special in the New York Times
last night would indicate that
the President may change his race
question policy. The special is as
follows:
washington, Nov 9.-There is dis
cussion on all sides as to what the
President will do in his second term.
a person who talked with him Il few
days ago on the criticism in the South
of his attitude toward the negro is
authority for the statement that there
may be in the course of the first year
of the new term a change in what
may be called the Presidents negro
policy.
1.-THE President is quoted as saying
that he had been wholly misinterpret-
ed by the South and that at no time
had he wished to take a position
which was unjust or hostile to the best
interests, moral, social, or commercial,
of the South or indeed of any section.
He desired to show the people of the
South some time that he remembered
that his mother was a Southern wo-
man and that he had an affection for
the South and wanted to do what he
could to better conditions in that sec

SOLICITOR HERIoT GARRISON.


There is no truer man in North

of Charlotte, who was yesterday APP
pointed solicitor of the Twelfth dis
trict. He is the sort of man North
Carolina needs in public life-aggres-
sive for the right. true to convictions.
devoted to the true welfare of the
people and the real progress of the
State.
Mr. Clarkson is a lawyer of ability
and enjoys a large practice. He was
one of the best legislators Mecklen-
burg has sent to the Legislature in
this decade, and Mecklenburg has a
habit of electing good men as law
makers AS city attorney of Charlotte
he has shown that he possesses civic
courage and civic righteousness. As
solicitor he will continue the good
work he has done in Charlotte for
the enforcement of the laws and for
political honesty and clean public SER
vice.
The time has come in North Caro-
lima when the people demand that
men who do things shall be elevated
to high official position, and not men
who trim and stradd1e and are afraid
to lose popularity by standing vigor-
ously for the right. The State needs
more men like Heriot Clarkson in
public position, and all good men will
rejoice in his appointment.

OVER HALF A CENTURY.

At the election on Tuesday Mr.
Jonn Laws, the Democratic cand1-
date for Register of Deeds, was re-
elected, leading the ticket. Mr.. Laws
has held that important office fifty -four
years-a record not equalled, we

elective office in America. Parker
received in the county 900 votes and
Roosevelt $50: Glenn received $50 and
Harris $50; while Laws received 9S4
while his opponent received only 466.
The majority for Mr.. Laws was SIS
while Mr.. Glenn's majority was only
396.

and this majority that, so far as the

Imperialism and the trusts have

For the future, the treacherous
east must be dropped and the alliance
between the South and the West,
so long hoped for and realized at last
in 1895, must be restored. In this lies
the only hope of the recovery of con-
stitutional government. Out of the
wreck the colossal figure of Bryan
