HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.

The turn of the wrist order by which.
just on the eve of the presidential cam
paign, this administration pays over
from fifteen to twenty million dollars to
pensioners, recalls the method of an
cient Rome, when candidates bid for pop
ular support by large gifts OF money.
The man who gave the most money was
the emperor in the worst days of Rome.
but then the money came from the can
didate. To-day the President IS follow
ing the demoralizing example of Rome
A. D. 1913, but he is using the money of
the people paid in taxes for unauthorized
pensions to secure support for reelection.
In Gibbons Decline and Fall of the
Roman Empire" we read in chapter V
as follows:
"The Praetorians had violated the sane
tity of the throne by the atrocious MUIR
der of Pertinax. They dethroned the
majesty of it by their subsequent con-
duct. With a loud voice Sui
piNIhhuo proclaimed tuut bllC
world was to be disposed OF to the high
est bidder by public auction. 3
Sulpicianus had already promised dona-
zion of 5000 drachmas (about 100 pounds
stel ling) to each soldier, when Julian,
eager for the prize, rose at once to the
sum of $3.50 drachmas, or upward of 200
pounds sterling. he gates OF the camp
were instantly thrown open to the pur-
chaser He was declared emperor and
received an oath of allegiance from the
soldiers
Cannot Congress prevent this usurpa-
ton. 1t was demoralizing enough to see
the Republican bosses buy the presidency
outright as they did in 1896 with money
contributed by persons who were prom
isot the right to get It back ten times
over by taxing the people, but to see tho
people bribcd by laigesses from the pub
lie treasury is one step lower down in the
scale.

jEFFERSON'S TEACHING.

Not long ago we printed a letter writ
ten by Daniel Webster detailing a con-
versa ton he had with jefferson at Month
cello in the old age of the great Virgin
ioL-the greatest statesman and Wlscst
man the world has known. He told of
Jeffersons tribute to Robert Raikes, the
founder of the Sabbath School, and
pointed out the wonderful good that such
instruction was doing in America.
On one occasion, we are told, Jefferson
was riding with Madison when the latter
was President. They passed house
where stood in the yard a. woman and
several children. Jefferson said; 'Madi-

REPUBLICANS SHOULD BE MADE
TO SWALLOW THEIR FALSE
UTTERAkCES.
(Winston Journal.)

Three long hearty cheers for the Raj
eigh News and Observer! The editorial
in yesterdays edition of this staunch
Democratic PAPER dealing with the base
sianders against the Democratic State
administration, so cunningly woven into
lioan ranks, has ring about it that is
sure to inspire enthusiasm and more
firmly fix every Democrat in his determi-
nation not only to elect every officer
from coroner to Governor, but never to
Geese in this restless zeal for the Demo-
cratic party until the time comes when
he who allies himself with the Republi-
can party in this State will sneak away
VIXEN men of pure Democratic principles
arrear.
And if the plain people of this old
North State can ever he brought to see
things as they really exist; the iniqui-
tcrs Republican tariff legislation that is
st-aling millions of their hard earned
dollars every year. robbing them of home
comforts and eventually making paupers
of them; the sycophantic, mercenary mo-
+ivcs of Republican political leaders,
''jcllying'' them along in order TO secure
the fat jobs doled out from Washington
or obtained by votes, the result of de-
ccit and fattery and false statements,
they would despise them and fee from
them as they would leper.
There is too much timidity in Demo
crj tic ranks. The Republicans appear
to feel that they can make any charge
they like adverse at the Democratic
party without fear of being taken to
task and made to swallow their false ut
tceances.
The State needs more men like Jose
plus. Daniels. Men who are fearless in
maintaining their principles and VINO
will not hesitate to nail a Republican
political lie the minute it is uttered.
Faint heart never won fair lady" and
just SO long as the Democrats of this
state are willing to pocket political IN
suits, and continue their hostating,
waiting policy, the Republican party will
be menace to them, but no longer.

CUT THEM SHORT OFF.

organ prints that there are thirtv-six
or more passes issued to LAWYERS bv tho
president OF the A. and N. C. R. R.. so,n&
OF whom live west of Ashcville and have
never rendered the road any legal SER
vice. We do not know how this is. but
we will know when Messrs. Gray, Page
and Lee finish their investigation. II
true, there is no warrant for it. Mr.
Bryan deserves criticism, and they should
be cut off short
1t may be-for a bad example goes very
far-that Mr.. Bryan has followed the ex
ample of the bosses of the Southern Rail-
way and distributed passes to friendly
lawyers and politicians who are not enti.
ted to them. That is a way that road
has done to secure favorabls legislation,
10, these many years. When this paper
was advocating law abolishing free
passes, a Senator asked the Big Boss why
he opposed the law His reply was that
a public man who ''toted" a pass would,
in nine cases out of ten, vote for legisla-
ton desired by the road giving the pass,
or would be dumb when his opposition
might prove fatal 1t is the cheapest
way in the world to buy influence. And
tt ats why some railroads evade the law.
When they wish to give pass to some
Influential man they first call him 'an
attorney" ON claw agent and snap
their fingers in the face of the law.
Let's stop the whole business. Pub
LEFTY will be the first step. Let the next

are "others" it is unlawful and indict-

are down as employees or agents, who
are not in fact such, the evil can be

wrong in this matter, it should be stop

SAMPLE REPUBLICAN OFFICE HOLD.

The people of North Carolina are ia
milar with the record of the trial and con-
viction of many Federal ffice-holders in
North Carolina, particularly between 1896
and 1900. There seemed to be an epidemic
OF stealing postmasters while Russell was
Governor and the State and local govern
ments in Eastern North Carolina were in
the hands of the Republicans. There has
been some Improvement in Federal office
holders since the Democrats carried the
State The better moral tone in the at
mosphere has helped them as it has help
ed the whole State, for a good atmosphere
will make itself felt even in driving out
Iliasmatic influences.
