SHAMEFUL CARTOONS
RerroacA and Ridicuie for the Soldier
and His UniforH,.

The campaign carica turists Of Prcsi-
dent Roosevelt have succeeded In arous-
ing enough interest to bring out the qucs-
ton: Is it disgraceful to fight for ones
cosntry?
It Is amazing to sec the uniform Of q
soldier Of the United States army pic
tured In such n manner as to imply
rcproach to its wcarcr!
1t was once thought to be an honora-
bic thing for man to resign position,
ease, family. independence. friends and
home, and become fighting machine to
help uphold the honor and tho word Of
his country.
There seems to have grown up dit.
fcrent view of this matter. Tho earnest
sacrifice of an American soldier Is held
by some to be an affair to picture in
such n manner as to arouse contempt and
yulgar smokers in the crowd. The de-
voted soldier facing death for his coun-
try is, with these nameless miscreants, n
sight to be guffawed over, something to
be distorted into laughraising cartoon.
To the laughing hyenas Of the yellow
press the stainless sword Of Washington
is but a clowns bauble. 10 them the
stern devotion of a soldiers experiences
is farcical episode in n mans career,
something to lie distorted into a thing to
bo jeered at.
Once 1t was written:
at is sweet and glorious to die for my
country"
The yellow rendering is:
"IT is GROTESQUE AND RIDIC-
ULOUS TO FIGHT FOR ONES
COUNTRY"
Such creatures would write in their
books, if they ever wrote books, "It is
grotesque and ridiculous to die for ones
country"

DON'T WASTE YOUR AMMUNI-
TION. MIR. TAGGART.

Vermont holds her State election
next week and Maine will vote a
week later. Both are as certain Re-
publican as Arkansas and Mississippi
are Democratic. The Republicans
have sent Speaker Cannon and other
big guns into both States. The DEM
ocratic National Committee has done
nothing in either State and this leads
the New York World to say:
eff the talk about the political
astuteness of Chairman Taggart of the
Democratic National Committee has
any foundation he will begin ener-
getic work at once, first in Vermont,
then in Maine, and then in every other
State in which there is a chance of ac-
complishing results"
After this piece of advice, the World
goes on to criticize Mr.. Taggart, Mr..
Nicoll and Mr.. Sheehan, telling
them to wake up, and asserting that
"the first important urgent duty is to
send Democratic speeches and speak
erS into Maine and Vermont"
1t is to be hoped that this advice
will not be needed. Save your am

can be bagged. 1t does not matter
what Maine and Vermont do. The
local Democrats in both States will go
out and vote, but the Republicans will
pile up big majorities. 1t does not
matter whether the majority is
10000 or $4,000. The Republicans
will elect all the congressman and
carry the State.
If Mr.. Taggart should send speakers
into Maine and Vermont just on the
eve of the election. the press that now
advises it would be criticizins him
for wasting money in the absurd hope
of trying to carry those rock ribbed
Republican States.
Save your ammunition. Mr.. Taggart,

York, West Virginia, Delaware and

States.

ROCKER II. AS ADVISER.
Declared To BE Supreme In Aiabama
Federal Politics.

A dispatch to the New York World
from Montgomery, Ala, says:
THAT Booker r. Washington is the
confidential adviser of President
Roosevelt in all public affairs con-
corning Alabama and that his advice
carries great weight are no longer
doubted. Not an appointment is gwen
to an Alabama man or policy pro
mulgated that touches the State IN its
effect without it first has the appro-
baton of the head of the Tuskegee
Normal and Industrial Institute. Such
a course of action is distasteful to the
people of the South, Ahere 1t IS Gus
tomary to give preference IN Such mat
ters to white men, even though there
is the widest appreciation OF WASH
ington and his work.
1.-THE latest evidence of the hand OF
Washington is the appointment OF
Osceola Kyle to one Of the judgeshlps
in the Panama canal zone. When
KYLE and his friends decided to try
for the position he came to Montgom-
cry and talked the prospect over with
a number of men, among them some
leading Republican politicians. He is
said to have seen the Alabama re-
ferees and got their advice and
promise of support. He was advised
one hears, to get the Endorsement OF
the supreme court Oh his oldle Siio"
ing that he was competent, and then
see Booker Washington. While the
referees would be willing to and
would recommend him, none of them
would be worth a cent without Wash
ngton's approval.
This looked easy enough. Kyle
was citizen of Macon county, OF
which Tuskegee is the county seat for
several years. and once represented il
in the Legislature. He had his case
taken up to Booker Washington. 1t is
said that Washington was glad to help
him and that with the Endorsement of
the negro leader he walked into the
new ST. job with velvet slippers"

CAPT. PRICE REPUDIATES BLACK
BURN.

Federal of1ice-holders may dominate
a Republican convention, but they can
not compel the voters to ratify their
high-handed action. 'You may lead
a horse to water, but you can't make
him drink is an adage as old as the
hills ''You may send a boy to col
lege," adds Mr.. Dooley, 'but you can't
make him think Likewise brandy
gaugers and bung-smellers may nomi-
nate a nonresident for Congress but
cannot compel the citizen to drop his
ballot in the box for him, particular
~ when they do the nominating act
by employing the methods of the plug
ugly and the intimidator. There are
Republicans in ode ate who carry
their suffrage under their own hats
and will not do the bidding of the
pie-eating brigade.
Elsewhere in today's paper is print
ed an interview with Capt. Charles
lican in North Carolina, who declines
to support Blackburn. and gives a rea-
son that will tell powerfully against
Blackburn in the campaign. Here it
is:

BURN is his being i'm Chicago. prom
inent member of the North Carolina
delegation. and NOT SAYING ONE
WORD IN OPPOSITION TO THE
NEGRO PLANK in the platform. pro-
posing TO MAKE, THE NEGRO AN
ISSUE In THE CAMPAIGN
No North Carolinian can make a
successful race with that record of
omission of duty staring him in the
face. Blackburn's failure there was in
line with his vicious criticism of Judge
Robinson for refusing to eat dinner
with the negro. These two things will
damn him with every voter in the dis
trict who believes. in White Supre-
macy.
Capt. Price has put his finger on the
cancer in Blackburns political career.

Make the History Correct.

To the Editor:-Your great edition
of August 18th, giving the history of
newspapers leading up to the pres

reader, but more interesting to those
who were in touch with the period

he was connected as lessee and bust

NIP 1T IN THE BUD.
First Appearance of Dandruff a Torc-
runner of FIXTURE Badness.

That such is the case has been con-
clusvely proven by scientific research.
Prof Unna, the noted European skin
specialist, declares that dandruff is the
burrowed-up cuticle of the scalp, caused
by parasites destroying the vitality in
the hair bulb. The hair becomes 1ifeless,
and, in time, falls out. This can be pre-
vented.
Newbros Herpicide kills this dandruff
germ, and restores the hair to it's natural
softncss and abundancy.
Herpicide is now used by thousands OF
people-all satisfied that it is the most
wonderful hair preparation on the mar
ket to-day.

will stir the sterling Democracy of
that good county. The opposition is

county in central North Carolina and
there is going to be battle royal there

nate a strong ticket today and will
then hear one of Bob" Glenn's' "gul-
ly-washer" speeches. He will give en-

ready to spare no effort to win success,
and he will convert the Republican or
Populist who is present.
Tomorrow morning Mr.. Glenn will

Parker Glenn Club. Raleigh will give
cordial and fitting welcome to the
party leader, both because the Raj
