~ as they said for so long in Phila-
delphia. whats the use?"
The abuses in the large cities are
merely the more prominent by reas-
on of the scope of the operations of
the bosses. Almost every city, every
town of any size. knows what the con-
dition is by experience. 1t is simply
that politics. which is self-government,
has been given over to the few. who
govern for the few Naturally poll
tics have become vulgar" The good
ness or badness of a trade lies in
most instances in the hands of those
who administer it. Tuesdays election
gave notice that the people are ready
to take over their own business We
believe that there is more to the move
ment than mere disclosures of corrup-
ton in high places. Those infamies
brought conditions only in a stronger
light. Starting with the gigantic
frauds of high finance. descending to
the legislatures, creeping into city
councils, the system of pelf and cor
ruption and highway politics
stretches from upper realms to the
lower and comes to rest in the boss
who holds the destinies of the wards
in hand.
The one enterprise cannot thrive
without the other. The boss is the
easiest man to reach; he is pitifully
weak against a real effort; let the
boss go!

Since the foundation of the world
the most deSpised man has been he
who betrays his country, and every
day brings to the front more clearly
Ex-Governor Russell and ex-senator
Butler as men who have sold tI1>ir
honor and betrayed the State while
drawing their salaries as representa-
tives of the State. 1t is a fact ac-
knowledged by all men who are in q
position to know the facts, that Gov.
Russell and Marion Butler, while act
ing in their official capacities, started
the scheme of making the State of
North Carolina pay the millions of dol
lars of repudiated bonds. Whether
the bonds should be paid is not a
question at issue in determining thelC
honesty, but the consideration of the
fact that they took advantage of their
official position to start a movement
that will eventually lead to the pay
ment by their State of millions of dol
lars-in bonds that should today be
repudiated by any State.

MISSOURI BLAZES THE WAY.

The Insurance Commissioner leads
the way in the only practical direction
to compel reforms in the giant in
surance companies whose officers
have been sQuandering the money be-
longing to the polieyholders.. He says
to the New York Life: You can
not do business. in Missouri until you
return to the treasury. of the company,
for the use of .pOlicyh olders, the mon
ey you illegally gave to carry elections
and otherwise msappropriated. ;"
1t is said that North Carolina pos
sesses no such power. If she does,
it should be exercised, certainly at
the end Of the investigation if the
officials refuse to pay back the money
they wrOngfully distracted.
The officials seem to regret nothing
except that they have been caught in
the act They will not reform unless
compelled to do so. They ought to
out
One thing is certain: The next Cen
eral Assembly of North Carolina will
take a hand and protect its citizens
and the insurance company that
wishes to do business in this State
must show clean hands and prove
that its policyholders will get
square deal" There are such COM
panies in and out of the State, and
they will be given every right. But
companies that use money of policy
holders to buy legislation and cleo
tons and squander it in fancy sala-
ries will not be permitted to fleece
the citizens of this commonwealth.

SILLY BUSINESS.

The men who wish to see the Prose
cutions against violators of the inter-
nal revenue laws fail are making a
great show of indignation agains: the
big bill of costs that District Attorney
Holton is running up. They deceive
nobody. 1t is because they fear that
he will convict violators that they
cry out, Demetrfus like, about the
expense.
The best money the Federal or
State courts can spend is to put an
end to the era of defrauding the gov
eminent that curses North Carolina.
No expense should be spared TO con-
Wet guilty men. In his fight to con-
Wet every man, little or big, who vio-
lates the law, the good people of
North Carolina are behind Mr. Ho:-
ton. 1t is a silly piece of business 20
be raising the bill of costs bugaboo,
particularly when it is raised by some
who wish to permit the government
to be robbed of hundreds of thousands
of dollars yearly. AS a matter of fl
nance, prosecution of guilty men is
a good investment for the government.

He devotes a great deal of space to the unworthiness of character of the territory's witnesses, and recalls homicides and other crimes in which they had figured. Harrison. he said, was a dangerous man, and ad- nitted the wanton murder of a Mex fcan in that part of the country some time before.
 He and Harrison had been intimate friends but shortly before the shoot ing they had had trouble over a spring which was situated near the line where their holdings joined.
 The. petitions for the pardon of Shee- hy are signed by about 2,OG> persons, representing nearly the entire voting population of the county. The peti- tOns, however, do not state the grounds on which the pardon should be issued. In addition to the petitions tnere are several letters from prominent resi- dents of NOgales and the county set ting forth, more at length, grounds for asking for the pardon.
 On the other hand, there have been received at the office of the governor a few letters protesting strongly against the issuance of pardon.
