DOES NOT AGREE WITH "DIREC
TOR COX.

North Carolina has been injured
by excessive freight rates and dis
examinations against it. Wholesale
merchants have been injured by it and
more than one manufacturing estab-
lishment has lost trade because Of
high rates. Now that there is a chance
to secure legislation that will give
power to reduce rates and prevent
discrimination, some manufacturers
are opposing getting the relief. So
far only two North Carolina manufac-
turers have objected to giving this
power, and each of them by coinci-
dence rides on a pass on the Southern
Railway. The High Point Enterprise
quotes what Director Cox says and
adds:
"Prof. Chas. F. Tomlinson, of Tom
linson Chair Co., holds very different
views about some of these matters
before the committee. While he has
not been before the committee he is
vely much interested in the matter.
He affirms that he has had to give
up the business in Mississippi and Ala
bama on account of the discrimination
in rates. He did not commit himself
on the question of government con-
troll but was convinced that some ac-
ton should be taken to correct the
evil 1t is likely that Prof. Tomlinson
will be called before the committee

THE FATAL DELAY?

The next time there is a position of
honor and emolument that justly be-
longs to North Carolina, Senator Over
man will leave his associates to car
ny on the murder case and hurry to

his State. Our North Carolina Sem

ter. asking to hold the matter open
for two weeks. 1t may be that if both
our Senators had gone to Washington
the day Mr.. Roosevelt returned from
Colorado some other State would have
obtained the place but the odds are
that if they had been first on deck in
person urging the claims of distin'
guished North Carolihian, this position
would now be held by a brave North
Carolina Confederate soldier. The man
who expects to have good places held
open in this day and time little under
stands the rush for office. particularly
when the Virginians are after one.
From the foundation of the govern
ment they have monopolized Federal
positions until il is hard for them to
believe that they are not particularly
and peculiarly qualified by public ser
vice. Their experience and training
have given them proficiency and we
congratulate them upon their celebrity
and capacity.

ADMITS ARMOUR MONOPOLY.

The testimony of the president of
the Armour Company before the Sem
ate Committee was virtually to the
effect that the Armour Company is a
trust and has exclusive contracts with
all railways in the South Atlantic
States. He claimed that his company
was a private one" and that the gov
eminent had no right to see it's books.
Railroads are public corporations, and
the government can examine their
books. Is it to defeat government in

OF transportation that the railroads
give exclusive contracts to the Armour
trust. 1t charges two prices and says

Dwindling Down to One of Two
Things.
Greensboro Record.
We reproduce today Mr.. Cones let
ter to the Raleigh News and Observer
in reply to structures made by that
paper on his attitude regarding rate
regulation. 1t will be noticed that Mr.
Cone explains his position thoroughly;
he likewise says his company has
never received cent in the way of
rebates and has always been treated
just as other shippers. And when he
says this you can put it down as the
absolute truth. There is wisdom in
what he says about his opposition to
government control, yet it seems to
be dwindling down to one of two
things-either the government must
regulate the railroads or the railroads
will regulate the government. There
may be a middle ground. but just now
it looks like the roads have most of
the ground and are rapidly acquiring
the balance.
