MELTON
DECLINES
THE HONOR. WILL NOT BECOME A
CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR. IS
TOO BUSY A MAN.
he is GRATEFUL TO FRIENDS
For Confidence Expressed and Consid-
Grafton In the
Past.

A petition signed by large
number of citizens was presented
to Attorney Alger Melton few
days ago. asking him to become a
candidate on the democratic ticket
for the office o. mayor. Yesterday
the Express interviewed Mr.. Mel
ton as to what course he proposed
to take in the matter. He stated
that he had given it very serious
consideration, but under the cir
cumstances could not become a
candidate. Continuing in explain
alton by his attitude he said:
Il appreciate the confidence ex-
pressed by those Of my friends who
have signed this petition, and l feel
grateful to those friends who have
urged ME to become a candidate,
but who have not signed the petit
ton. Such expressions Of conf
dence and good will will effect
deeply every man who holds the
opinion of his friends and neigh
bors in high esteem.
II regret that l am not in a po-
sition to comply with the wishes of
my friends in this matter and be-
come candidate for the office Of
Mayor. 1t is the duty OF every
citizen to render whatever service
he can to the community in which
he lives, but no man should accept
the responsibilities Of a public Of
fee unless he can, with justice to
himself and the people, give all the
time and attention to the duties of
the Office, which conditions and
circumstances demand. If were
TO become a candidate and should
be chosen by the people of thiscity
as their chief executive officer, /
feel that my business affairs would
not justify me in giving my time
and attention tothe Office of Mayor,
which the present conditions seem
to demand.
81 feel deeply indebted to the
people of this city for their consid-
Grafton in the past, but were to
become a candidate and be chosen
asMayor at. the general election, l be-
lieve that / could not serve them as
the occasion seems to demand, pro-
tect their interests as they should
be protected and perform the du-
ties OF that Office, without seriously
my own business and
personal affairs.

insisted upon its limitation to the
actual needs OF government and upon
its equitable distribution. He is on
record In favor of the arbitration or
disputes between nations, and no one
who is familiar with his writings can
doubt that he would favor arbitration
today of disputes between labor and
capital, and his views upon the en-
croachments of the judiciary and the
value of trial by jury make it certain
we know as government by injunc-
ton.
Favored eimctaiism,
On the subject of finance Jefferson
not only favored bimetalism but ex-
pressed opposition to bank currency
and TO control of the national treasury
by the financiers.a Today We could
readily assume that he would, if liy-
ing, stand with the people for regu-
lation of the railroads and extermina-
ton of private monopoly.
Mr.. Bryan was of the opinion that
regulation of railroads would ultimate
ly lead to public ownership and said
he would prefer to see the trunk lines
owned by the general government and
the local lines owned by the several
| states.
There were three arguments made
by Jefferson which are being used by
the advocates of monopoly TO defeat
the application to modern problems
Of the principles Inundated by him.
''Legislate as little as possible and
leave the rest to the energies Of a
free people" said Jefferson, and the
benefciaries of monopoly now invoke
1 this sentiment against restraining leg
islation. 1t is mockery of Jefferson
to first violate his injunction by the
granting of special rights and privi7
4 leges TO a favored few, and then at
tempt to use his words in opposition
TO restraining legislation.
Against PaternaIism.
Another Jeffersonian doctrine which
Is being misinterpreted today is his
protest against paternalism He fay-
ored the encouragement of individual
effort and opposed the undertaking by
the government of work which the in
dividual could do better. His words
have been invoked against what Is
; described as public ownership. In
n applying any mdu language 10 con-
ditions arising after his death, it is
necessary to know. not only what he
? said, but the reasons for what he
said. Nothing is more unfair than
to employ words in such q way as to
defeat the reasons which lie back OF
the words. Jefferson's aim was to
protect the rights of the individual
and to give him the maxim OF stimuli
Gus. A private monopoly, such as
public ownership is intended to pre-
. vent, does not enlarge the sphere of
the individual or inspire him to high
endeavor The actual effect of a pri-
yate monopoly is just the reverse, and
wherever the principle Of private mo-
nopoly enters the government must
: operate the monopoly, or violate oil
of the principles taught by Jefferson.
Misappiied Doctrine.
The third Jeffersonian doctrine
that Is now being misint erpreted and
misapplied, is his argument agains;
longtime debts. He took the position
that the earth belong in succession 10
each generation, and that preceding
generation had no right to mortgage
