THE FOURTH IN RALEIGH.

Preparations are being made on an
extensive scale for big celebration
of the Fourth of July in Raleigh and
the occasion is to be made memora-
bic one.
There will be day and night fire.
works, a band of music, songs by a
choir of two hundred voices parades,
horse reel and firemen's contests, and
oratory.
Not the least will be this last fea-
ture, for among the distinguished
speakers who are to deliver addresses
will be Governor Aycock. The, theme
of the day, the deeds of Washington
and the great declaration of Jefferson,
will furnish him a text upon which
to grow more than eloquent. Chief
Justice Clark and DR.. George 7. Win
ston will also make addresses full of
interest.
Raleigh will enjoy itself on the
Fourth, and it invites visitors from
all sections to enjoy the day in it's
borders. The capital of the State is
always attractive. and to this attrac-
tiveness will be added the extra pleas
ures of the Fourth of July celebra-
ton. Visitors will receive a genuine
welcome to the city, and they are in
vited to come and make happy with
the happy people here.

THE oLD-TIME TARIFF DOCTRINE

There is too much disposition these
days among Democrats to use words
that are meaningless when they write
tariff planks in platforms. The Texas
Democrats passed the best tariff plank
yet put into any State platform this
year. 1t had the old-time ring in it,
without a scintilla of trimming from
start to finish. Hereit is:
1--WE denounce the present tariff law
known as the Dingley act as an abom-
ination of legislative iniquity, and as
a gross and constituencies abuse of
legislative power for which no suffi-
cient excuse can be offered or apology
made; and we. therefore, pledge our
selves to it's revision We denOunce
the doctrine of protection as a fraud,
a robbery of the many to enrich the
few, and favor tariff for revenue
only, sufficient to meet the needs of
an honest, efficient and economic gov
eminent, so levied as not to discrimi-
nate against sections, but to equalize
the burdens of taxation to the great
est possible extent"
Democrats win no victories when
they trim on the tariff. 1t seems hard
to teach many of them this lesson. In
1892 Mr.. Cleveland sent a tariff plank
to the National Convention that was
as clever a trimmer as could we'll be
framed. The committee wisely threw
it in Lake Michigan and framed a
tariff plank as sound as Robert j.
Walker could write, declaring for "a
tariff for revenue only and denounc-
ing all duties laid for protection as
unconstitutional" The Sam Randall
type of Democrats were sure that the
straightforward plank would injure
the party and Mr.. Cleveland was said
to be greatly disappointed" because
his milk and water plank had been
discarded. The Republicans declared
1t was "a free trade declaration" and
sought to scare the people. What
was the result? The bold declaration
won votes and commanded respect.
The man who is going to cast his
vote in order to obtain protection,
whether he calls it incidental or
direct, is going to vote the Republi-
can ticket. The Democrats are play
ing into the hands of the Republicans
when they trim on the tariff or hest
tate to declare for the old-time doc
trine of "a tariff for revenue only"

Fighting the Watts Law

TO the Editor L can rightly dis
Germ the signs of the times. l think
furious fight is going to be made
against the Watts law; not because 1t
is a bad law and has done harm, but
for two unjusti6able reasons: FirS7.
Men who are hungry for office will
fight it, hoping thereby to secure votes
enough to elect them. Secondly. Men
who love to make, sell and drink
whiskey will fight it. What pity il
is that there are men so debased IN
morals as to want to destroy good
law, and want to restore distillerieS i'll
the rural districts and bar-roonls in
the towns. But there are no more de-
graded people among us than WhiSkey
politicians and men governed by q
greed for gain, or who live to crafty
corrupt appetites. There are thous-
ands of men today who would be Will
Ing to pave the country debauched by
drunkenness and all its attendant
evils, if thereby they could get offices
ana political power.
A man who wants to be a political
leader, said recently: "The Watts law
is the meaneSt law ever made; the
men who made it ought to be hung. :
1t is to be doubted whether this man
hates the Watts law half as much as
he does the political party that made
the law.
Any fair-minded person WHIP has
acquainted himself With the facts IN
the case will be forced to admit that
the Watts law has been an untold
blessing to our State. The removing
OF distilleries from rural districts has
made a marked Improvement, that all
can see and all good people gladly adj
nit. | cite conditions in one county
where | am we'll acquainted Former
ly there were distilleries in various
parts of the country and saloons in
the town. The result was that there
was vast amount of drunkenness,
roWdylsm, hghting and killing. Courts
had to be continued from one to two
weeks to try cases resulting mainly
from drunkenness Now, with distill-
cries ana saloons eliminated, court
rarely ever continues more than two
or three days. Neighborhoods that
used to be turbulent and disorderly
and terror to good people, have be-
come quiet and orderly. Prosperity,
educatlon and Christianity are on the
increase. In town where bar-rooms
nave oeen broke up and a dispensary
established, the most marked i'm
proVement can be seen. Go through
the part of the town where the col
ored population lives, and it is a sur
prise 10 see the new houses they have
oulit and the old ones they have inn
proved. Before nearly every nick!e
lney could get went to saloons for
Whlskey. Now they cannot buy less
IMAM twenty or twenty-five cents
worm at a time. They often cannot
get that much money at time to
spena Tor whiskey. therefore they do
not buy half as much as they used to
buy. and their money goes for food,
ciOInlng and better houses
Let us see to it that bad men do
not abolish the Watts law, but let US
make some needed Improvements, and
thereby increase it's. usefulness.

Spirit of the Press.
Not a Voice Raised Against 1t.
Rocky Mount Record


Among the other declarations in
the platform adopted by the Demo-
cratic party in the Greensboro Com
vention as an open statement on the
rarty's position with reference to the
Watts law. "The principle that no
saloon or still shall operate except
under police protection is as sound as
that whiskey shall not be sold to mi
nors, to drunkards, on Sunday or near
the schools and churches" is the
plain, manly statement of the party
with reference to this all-absorbing
question. And with such platform the
people of North Carolina will not suffer
the party to go down in defeat.
The evil legislated against in the en-
actment of the Watts law was seen
and known by all men. No backward
step has been taken in the sentiment
that becoming so strong during the
Legislature Of 1908 resulted in the
adoption of the measure that now IN
a cooler moment meets the unqualliled
approval of a Democratic convention,
not a voice we are told being raised
in the convention against the adoption
of the platform that contained the
endorsement of the great bill.

A BETTER DAY HAS DAMNED.

Five years ago the Democratic State
Convention would not have dreamed
of putting into it's platform the fol-
lowing sweeping temperance declara-
ton:
1--WE approve the general principles
of the Watts law regulating the man
ufacture and sale of liquors, and Inn
iting the same to localities in which
there may be adequate police protec-
ton. The principle that no saloon or
still shall operate except under ponce
protection is as sound as that whls-
key shall not be sold to minors, 10
drunkards or on Sundays, or near the
schools and churches. The General
Assembly has the power, and when
controlled by the Democratic party.
can be trusted 20 make all amend
ments that experience and conditions
NAV demonstrate to be wise ana
proper
That declaration marks the upward
progress in North Carolina of educa-
ton, temperance, higher moran
tone.
The Monroe Journal in its last
issue gives a brief interview tha'
shows the upward change in puolic
morals. We quote:
There was a time. said man
from Vance this morning, when
man running for office in Union
county could help his cause by 1T
tie rotten red-eye, but that day Is
gone
The time was in nearly every coun-
ty in tn, State that candidates were
expected to treat and when drink
ing and drunkenness were as common
as barbecues and big speakings. In
most places that sort of campaigning
has passed away. In fact the candi-
date who opens his cider barrels and
ticklers and intoxicates the people is
doomed to defeat. In practical poll
tics in North Carolina it is "woe unto
that the man that putteth the bottle
to his neighbours mouth, or words to
that effect.
The school house has sent the rural
still-house into "innocuous desuetude.'

A DANGEROUS MAN.

1t is more and more apparent every
day that the thoughtful and conser-
vative and constitutional loving peo-
pie of America do not trust the Presi-
dent-do not regard him as "safe and
sane They are everywhere fearing
that the administration of the govern
ment by Theodore Roosevelt has given
evidence of most dangerous abuse of
official power. He has exhibited him
self both at home and abroad. as not
only hasty, reckless and dangerous,
but regardless of law. His silent CO.
partnership in the Panama Revolu-
ton; his clustering bravado towards
the Republics of South and Central
America; his defiance Of decency and
justice in the promotion of personal
favorites in the Army and Navy; his
hypocritical advocacy of Civil Service
Reform, followed by contemptuous
disregard of the same; his spectacu-
lar denunciation of trusts and the
complete subserv:ency of his admins
tration to their mandates: his evident
telligence and character of the South
by appointment of negroes to Federal
offices and introducing for the first
time in the history Of the Republic
social equality in the White House;
his utter failure to comprehend the
dignity, the solemnity and the respon-
sibility attaching to the office of Chief
Magistrate of eighty millions of free
men; his conversion of the White
House into the headquarters of a po-
litical party, his personal participa-
ton in and active manipulation of
political squables and contentious in
the various States, making an OIL
garchy of Federal office holders; his
lavish expenditure of the public funds
and employment of public prosperity
for personal qualification; his fond
ness for militarism and official fium-
merry; and finally his almost con-
temptuous dismissal of the Congress
of the United States to prevent the full
investigation of scandals connected
with his administration, all mark him
as a dangerous man. fitted rather to
be the Car of Russia than the Presi-
dent of the United States. There are
great problems confronting the Ameri-
can people and grave dangers threat
ening their national existence, but
above them all. is the duty to save
the Republic from another infection
of Theodore Roosevelt.

and thrived on misrepresentation and
abuse of this section. and yet there
are papers in North Carolina, which
claim to be Democratic in principle
that say that Democrats should not
call attention to this threat at our in
situations on the part of the enemy
because, forsooth, the negro question
has been settled. According to these
papers, that never lose an opportunity
to stab the party they profess to be-

Republicans to raise the negro issue
