White House today by President Roose-

fraud in the civil service examinations,

of a "cold. blooded" murder In that

further stated that the two men i'm

A drunken man will do things
that he would abhor doing when he
is sober. 1t appears that the Dem
ocratic leaders of Buncombe county
realized this fact when they had six
hundred gallons Of whiskey poured
into the stomachs of the voters of
that county during the recent cam
paign to get them to belch up votes
for the Democratic nominees. This
amount was furnished by one dis
tillery alone, and if each of the
other six distilleries furnished an
equal amount, the total would be
1920 gallons of mean whiskey for
the BuncOmbe county doubtful
voters. That is about one gallon
for each voter in the county. We
wonder how they would have voted
had they been sober.

In our view the State owes thi:
debt, and there is no justice il
basing compromise upon thu
price secured by the State, since fol
eleven years the bonds were out o
the control Of the State and thei
value depended not at all upor
what they originally cost. To illus,

could force you to sell him for tina

Stotcp
A few years ago when the democ-
racy of North Carolina became in
different to the demands Of the
people; when it became insolent
and dictatorial and dreamed that on
it's tattered traditions and the halo
of romance that the Lost Cause
gave the past that it was invincible
that its heights were impregna :
ble-we witnessed populism and
almost anarchy. It was not that in
the hearts Of the people there was a
desire to destroy-but it was be-
cause they desired to punish. The
great Commoner, Vance, and the
statesman, Ransom, were both rel.
egated to the rear and Butler, a
Populist, and Pritchard, Republi-
can land every inch man he is,
too took the seats Of the worthless
mentioned; Russell became Gov.
ernor and the Democratic party was
undone.
Then the cry Of negro DONNA
tion-the black cloud of Africa
was used as scarecrow, and again
the legions were rallied under the
gonfalon Of Democracy. And again
the party is full of its own impor-
tance-it has dreamed that it can
enact laws abridging the freedom Of
men. and just so sure as another
National election is held if the
Democratic leaders insist in their
despotic course, the Republican
party will claim the Tar Heel State
and the people will deliver the
goods.
A few men have too long been
the self-constituted leaders. They
have cracked their whips at their
pleasure. They have not profited
by tho lessons Of a few years ago,
and when this State does 60 Repub-
lican, as it Will-but few people
outside the ie'eating constituency
will have cause for regret.-Fair-
