MR. ROOSEVEITS ARROGANCE

mr.. Cunningham. so far as nay
showing o might make on this COM
mfttee is concerned, you can have no
influence with me. You have removed
yourself from any consideration at my
hands in this matter. and my dealings
u be with h other gentlemen Of
the committee"
So spoke President Roosevelt to a
gentleman who had been appointed as
a member Of a committee at a public
meeting OF citizens of Oklahoma to go
to washington and lay before the pres
ident certain grievances the people Of
that territory had against the secre-
meeting protest was made against GER
tain action of the secretary and Mr..
Cunningham made a speech in which
he severely criticised that officials
conduct. For doing so he was thus
publicly insulted by the president.
1t has come to a pretty pass in this
free American country, Of which Mr.
,Roosevelt's illustrious predecessor
said the government was Of the people,
for the people and by the people, that
one Of these people cannot express his
disapproval Of the conduct of a public
official in a matter relating to the
interests of his section without incur
ing the enmity Of the head of the gov
eminent, and when he undertakes to
exercise his constitutional right of pc
tition is rebuffed in this insulting and
ungentlemanly manner
This is an assumption Of arrogance on
the part Of Mr.. Roosevelt far beyond
any thing he has ever before exhibited.
His refusal to lea Mr.. Cunningham
would have been assuming too much
the attitude of a dictator to suit the
American people. had he Tor so in a
decent amer. but when he adds to
his assumption of dictatorial powers
the Of the beer garden or the
prize ring he disgusts them also.
In this conduct of Mr.. Roosevelt and
in his assumption OF legislative powers
as shown in the recent rule issued by
the pension bureau establishing a ser
vice pension for all veterans over g.
years OF age the people have a fore
taste Of what they may expect after
March 4th of next year if Mr.. Roosevelt
is elected president.

LAX LEGISLATIVE WORK.

Senator Hoey, of Cleveland eonnty
shows that the second section Of the
anti-jug law was incorporated in the
act entirely by mistake. In a letter TO
The Charlotte Observer he say the
bill as introduced was intended to ap-
ply only to the counties Of Cleveland
and CASTOR. When it got before the
house Mitchell county was added and
III the senate Cabarrus was also in
cluded. both at the request OF legisla-
tors from these countiea-
The original draft of the bill was
made up chiefly. we believe, by clip
pings from a printed copy OF the Lon
don bill. and Senator Hoey explains
in the following how the mistake was
made:
The bill was passed in just exactly
conference held by the legislators, and
EAs aforementioned, and the only ex-
PLANTATION / can offer of how the mis-
take occurred is that the typewriter
failed to strike out State Of North
Carolina and insert counties, etc.
as intended, and the bill was read and
none OF US detected the mistake. and
likewise when it was read in open 'ses-
sion the error was %unnoticed.
AZ speak advisedly when / say that
1t was purely n wholly a mistake
q blunder-and / have never sought
to escape my share Of responsibility
for It The other legislators from the
other counties interested had abso-
autely no purpose to max this law ap-
ply to any territory except the coun-
ties named in the bill. And I chal-
ienge any one to give any information
he may possess which would indicate
anything to the contrary"
The chief lesson to be learned from
this matter is that our legislators
should be more careful in their work
What are supposed to be C bills are
too loosely handled by committees and
passed to ratification with too little
scrutiny by members on the floor This
bill might have passed had the second
section been called to the attention Of
members Of the house and senate, but
that Is not the point. 1t should not
have passed in the way it did. 1t IS
the only means Of making effective
the prohibition OF sale OF liquors in
towns and counties adjacent to places
where the sale is legaliZed. But the
manner Of its passage shows the dan
ger Of such loose legislation. If a
harmless measure can become a law
without a single member of either
branch of the legislature being aware
of its terms. a bill n~oxious to the in
terests OF the people and the state
might be slipped through as readily
by design OF some legislator. 1t shows
that there is danger of injury being
done by the lax in which pr
vate and local bills are passed by our
legislature. This is by no means the
first time legislators of this state have
found after adjournment OF the body
that they have adopted laws very
different in terms from what was the
