IS CAME WARDEN CONSTABLE.
Interesting Case Involving Right OF
Game Warden to Garry q Pistol.

An interesting case was heard by
Mayor Ruose today in which MI. Geo.
F. Simmons, the game warden for Le-
noir county, was indicted for carrying
a concealed weapon, to wit, a pistol
The prosecution contends that when
not in the actual discharge Of his
duty as game warden that he does not
have the right to carry a pistol, while
defendants counsel argues that a game
warden is on the same footing as a
constable and as such has a right to
carry a pistol.-Kinston Free Press.

THE ELECTION.

1f1E F1IIfISllcN.
The election news up to date, while
not yet complete, is Is gratifying to a
true democrat as could be wished-un-
der existing circumstances. The demo-
Gratis have many things in the outcome
of last Tuesday to rejoice over.
In the first place North Carolina will
have a solid delegation in the next
congress. She will help reduce the
republican majority in the house of
representatives. We can rejoice over
the fact that there will not be a repub-
lican member of the house from this
state.
Many good democrats feel thankful
that William r. Hearst was not elected
governor of New York. His success
would have been a great calamity to
the country. We cannot help feeling
that the party is much better off be-
cause of his defeat than it would have
been had he been elected. The only
regret we have in this matter is that
he was not showed under by such a
majority for Mr.. Hughes that he would
never again lave been thought Of as
a possible candidate for the presidency
in 1903. We cannot bring ourselves to
feel that he was the true candidate
of the democratic party for governor
of his state. His full purse gained him
the endorsement for the candidacy of
the corrupt leaders of Tammany and in
that way he became the ostensible
head of his party's ticket He was
never the choice of the true democracy
of his state no more than he will ever
be it's choice for candidate for the pres
idency.
Another thing that gives us pleasure
is the result of the election on the con-
stitutiOn question in Oklahoma and In
dian territory. The republicans pro-
vided for the introduction into the
union of this new state because they
thought it would give their party two
more senator's; but when the smoke
Of the political battle clears away they
find they have created a new demo-
cratic state. The introduction of these
two territories was none of our party's
asking, bat it will surely profit by the
action OF cur friends, the enemy.
Then. again, we are glad to know
that Mr.. BabcOck, that avowed enemy
of white supremacy in the south, has
been defeated for reelection to con-
gress. He has represented his Wiscon-
sin district in the house Of representa-
tives for years. Time and again he
has held prominent position on the
important house committee on ways
and means, and up to the present con-
gross he was chairman of the republi-
can congressional campaign committee.
While the democrats do not gain
control OF the house Of representatives.
in the next congress they greatly re
duce the present republican majority
of one hundred and twelve.
The fact that the democratic state
ticket in New York, excepting Mr..
Hearst, is elected counts for a great
victory for our party in that state. In
Colorado, Nevada, New Jersey and
Rhode Island the democrats have made
unexpected and remarkable gains. This
state has held her own and made gains.
The democrats have cause for congrat-
ulatiOns.

LATIN-AMERICAN FIGHTERS.
Armies Lack Science, but Not COur-
age-Case of Paraguay.

Armies Lack Science, but Not COur-
age-Case of Paraguay.
1t Is our Anglo-Saxon way to speak
slghtingly Of the military prowess of
most of the Latn-American nations,
says the Boston Transcript. Their ar
mics are not indeed calculated to stand
much chance In the open field against
our soldiers or those Of the European
powers. They lack science, but not
courage, and even as they are, fighting
behind barricades, they are by no means
foemen to be despised.
The trouble with most of the Latin
American countries Is the absence of
what we know as public opinion" r!
ruler Of the hour knows no check but
force, and utilizes the resources Of the
country for his own purposes as des-
politically as ever did Car those of
Russia. Poor Paraguay, under the
sway of Francisco Lopez, fought allied
Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay for five
years. Probably there never was fierc-
er fighting in the new world. The Para
guayans yielded only at the last gasp.
when they had put into the ranks old
men and boys, when their towns were
ashes and when starvation stalked
through the desolate land. Paraguay
remained nation only because the con-
querors could not agree on division
Of the spoil, and the Brazilian army of
occupation was withdrawn only in 1876
eleven years after hostilities began. Yet
the man for whom the Paraguayans
battled SO stouuy and sacrificed SO
much was simply modern Nero.

Drug stores that have soda fountains
are making more money than ever from
the sale of Ice cream soda this season,
owing to the fact that women with

tacles are kept for this dogs use and
they sit up at the counter like humans

There Is no doubt that much good
to the public will be the ultimate re-
suit of the insurance investigations,
which made many unnecessarily nerv-
Gus about the money invested for the
future rainy day, or of the packing
house investigations, which brought
nervousness about the food that Is
eaten daily. In like manner there
must be faith that some good to So
ciety will result from the disclosures
which are being made in connection
with the private life Of some people
much in the public eye. The testimony
of the sister of the steel official, Corey,
in the divorce suit of her sister-n-law,
person to have the custody of his 16-
year-old son, brought out the state
ment that the fast life of New York
made a wealthy man Of that city an
der his control. While no such sweep
| ing indictment can justly stand against
men of wealth, there has been sur
felt of scandal calculated to strengthen
| Miss Corey has much of truth in it. A
Pittsburg story of home destruction
has features of apparent conspiracy
against the peace of men and women
alike which appear as shameful as they
are dlsgraceful. No matter what the
real truth may be regarding the pri-
vate life of the parties involved, it is
an abnormal situation where, in order
to secure a divorce Decree detectives
are hired TO steal letters and letters
possibly forged with the definite pur-
pose Of blackening character for un-
worthy ends. A suit now in the courts
reveals a man actually engaged in a
sort of divorce brokerage business,
with fixed agreement for payment at
several stages of the proceedings and
final settlement when the nefarious
plot Is at last successful. The govern
ment investigation of divorce condi-
tions in the United States must of ne
cessty discover many Of such crimes
against the purity Of womanhood or
the honor of manhood 1t may be best
for the American people to have the
whole story told in full, If out of II
may come clearer and better atmos
phere, with greater appreciation of
what Benjamin Harrison used to de
scribe as "the American home where
one wife regns in single uncrowned
glory"

Not until next Independence day
will the new star be added to the
flag. The formal work of making
State takes time and care. First, In
dian Territory and Oklahoma must
be divided each into fifty-five districts,
from each of which delegate will go
to the Constitutional Convention. The
election of the delegates will be by
proclamation of the Governor of Okla
homa and the senior United States
Judge Of Indian Territory, and the
proclamation must be made within six
months of the day ON which the Presi-
dent signed the enabling act At the
convention the delegates must declare
for their constituents that they adopt
the Constitution of the United States
and formulate State constitution.
The State constitution must contain
guarantees of religious freedom and
prohibit polygamy. The proposed con-
stitutlon Is then to be submitted to the
people of the territories for ratifica-
ton, and at the same time they will
vote for State officers. The results will
be submitted to the President, and If
the provisions Of the enabling act are
complied with he must within twenty
days proclaim the result of the cleo
ton, and the State Of Oklahoma "shall
be deemed admitted by Congress into
the Union on an equal footing with
the original States"
