The Raleigh Times says that talk
SO often heard in North Carolina abour
ring rule at the capital is justified by
the facts" The Times has discovered
the existencec of a big nine" clique
which holds secret conferences and is
engaged, not only in fixing up the dem
ocratic slate for Wake county, but in
laying plans to control nominations to
the legislature from other counties, and
ever is dabbling a little in the senate
rial question. We are glad to see one
Raleigh paper admit the truth of the
often made charge that there is a DEM
ocratic ring in that city which tries to
control the whole state. The Times
calls these men " the county and state
savers.

Referring to President Rooseveit's
action in declining aid for the San

quake, rendered by foreigners, Mr.
Gaylord Wiltshire, chairman of the
New York city publicity committee OF

that the Californians in that city are
not in the least concerned as TO the
origin of any aid which may come. He
also says, in reference to the unionists
kick because -four from an unfair

Francisco, that the hungry of that city
will gladly eat bread made of -four no,

GOVERNOR CLIENTS TWO BILLS.

GOVERNOR GLENSrS TWO BILLS.
The Reidsville Review quotes Gov.
ernor Glenn as saying in a recent
speech in Rockingham county that he
had two bills to send before the next
legislature.
One of his bill is to compel every
Insurance company to invest the pre-
miums collected in North Carolina in
this state" The governor can hardly
mean what The Reviews words above
quoted imply-that he advocates COM
polling all insurance companies, life,
fire, marine and accident, to invest
within this state all premiums received
from business done in this state.
In the first place we do not believe
the courts would uphold such a law,
and Justice Clark's contention that the
courts should not have the right to
pass upon the constitutionality of leg
islative enactments has not yet been
adopted.
In the next place, as o o as such a
law went into effect the insurance COM
panies would be falling over each other
We would have nothing but a few
home companies left, with nothing like
the capacity TO do the business of the
state. Men would be shy about form
ing new local companies if they were
to be hamDered in this way in their
investments. We suppose most Of the
home companies investments are made
in the state, but the managers would
want the right to make them where
ever they saw they could do so to
the best advantage.
We feel sure the governor was mis-
quoted. We hope he made no such
declaration. Such a law WOuld be a
fearful blow to the business interests
of the state and would be unjust to the
outside companies doing business
here.
The governors other bill provides for
the state underwriting the bonds Of
every county issued on a vote of the
people to build good roads. We sup
pose he means that the state shall
guarantee the payment of all such
bonds. What an opening of the food
gates Of state Indebtedness! There
are ninety-seven counties in the state.
If they should issue bonds on an aver
age of only fifty thousand dollars TO
the county that would make four mill
lion, eight hundred and fifty thousand
dollars the state would be made liable
for, and all the counties which could
want to do so, because the governor
proposes to secure such loans for them
at three per cent instead of four and
five, which counties now have to pay
on bonds not underwritten by the state.
The state could not refuse TO pay
any bonds thus issued, even if the
supreme court would let the county
out of it's responsibility because OF
some technicality. Her credit would
suffer were she to do so; therefore, We
hope the governor will embody in his
bin some provision which will be a
safeguard to the state against the repe-
tition of the Stanly county and Wilkes
county bond regulations which were
sustained by the state supreme court.
We want to see everything possible
done to aid our people, and we are
ready to back the governor in every'
such movement he may inaugurate, but
about these two bills of his before we
declare in favor of them.

Stories of the NOtables


DR.. William Osler, appropos of he
rolc remedies, said, according t the
Chicago Chronicle.
"Uneducated persons have no faith
in the subtleties of medicine-in tiny
pills, in diet, in exercise. When they
are i'll they want large, strong, black
bitter doses. They want heroic meas
ures to be applied to them.
Thus, there was an Englishman
physician who sent some leeches to a
patient, a miner.
Calling the next day, the physician
inquired before starting upstairs for
the sickroom, if the leeches had ar
rived.
"The miners wife, with a contemp-
tuous laugh, replied:
Yes sir; but what on earth be the
good o sending them little things for
a great chap? just took an clapped
a ferret on un.'"
Henry James, who is always Oh the
hunt for a few words, though he will
never admit them to his stories, de-
scribed at a dinner a new word that
he had come upon in London.
"Mr. Plowden," he said, sis a bril-
liant and witty London magistrate.
