Union Republican,
II Il now In order for the men,
beers OF the next legislature TO study
the mstter OF making provisions for
youthful criminals, TO take care Of
the INDECENT insane OF the State, and
10 look about restoring local self
government TO the people In the
matter Of their school COMMITTEES
and their justices OF the peace II
Is ssid that in Swain County, in
which every township went Repub-
lican In the last election, there Is
only one justice Of the peace, and
that he was appointed by the last
legislature. The next legislature
should see to ii that Swain County
has the privilege Of electing her jus
tices of the peace. In fact all coun-
ties whether democratic or Republi-
cau, should have that privilege. The
question Of local selfgovernment in
North Carolina Is getting to be se-
rious one. People who pay taxes
and otherwise support and maintain
our government and institutions
should have the privilege Of choosing
their officers and Of making their
officers accountable TO them for their
stewardship. Yet very little Is said
about this fundamental question in
our political campaigns. AS for US,
we are opposed to any party or any
set of Legislators, democrats, Repub
licans, Socialists, or what not, who
take local selfgovernment away
from the voters. Men who favor
or practice such thing should not
be voted for and should not be al
lowed to take part in the govern
ment except to pay taxes and-we
like to have said, vote, but that is
the privilege which they themselves
deny other people as to many ques-
lions, and common justice TO them
Individually, could be only melted
out by depriving them of that privi-
lege-but in the sense that they are
citizens we should say that the only
part they should be permitted to
take in the government is to pay
taxes and vote-and watched to see
that they do not put more than one
ballot in the box. If the people do
not get back to and adhere to some
of the original principles we will all
go adrift and there will not be much
left of our original plan of govern
ment. Our demand is that the
present members elect of the legis-
lature restore to the people Of every
county in the State local self govern
ment. If they do not do it, it is our
purpose to make war upon them
and the machine at the back of
them-for there must be a machine
at the back of men who will de-
stroy local self government-until
the people get their dues as to this
matter. And we shall not expect
to be side tracked as to this question
by any outside issues as are usually
trumped up during campaigns.

the roster OF officers and enlisted
men Of the Union and Confederate
armies provided for In an act of Con-
greSs in 1903, has been found by the

During the year q considerable

these were carefully copied.
During former years the work had
progressed well from records from

the roster as complete as possible

Democratic 1nconsistency-The Z arty
Truthfully and strikingly Sized Up
The Simmons Daniels Party Lash In
North Carolina.
Greensboro Record (Dem.)
Some things we can understand
and some not. For instance, we
have never been able to figure it out
how simon pure democrats, especi-
ally those who are sticklers for party
regularity, could advocate the cleo
tion of Hearst. Reference is had
more particularly to Democrats in
this State, this town. Mr.. Hearst
was a bclter and the worst kind.
True, he secured the democratic
nomination in New York, but how
He simply forced the treacherous
party machine to give it to him
He had already set up party of his
own, and was nominated, told the
country he was going to run, cussed
out every democrat who was not
with him and did everything he
could to discredit the democratic
party.
But to go back a year ago-he be-
came an independent candidate
against Mcclellan for mayor and
fought him to finish. And this is
why we cannot understand the atti-
tude of a great many democrats.
Had Hearst been a resident of this
State and had adopted any such tao
tics as boiling or fighting the party,
he would not have been touched
with twenty-foot pole. The only
way we can account for this feeling
for him is that as New York has al
ways set herself up as the center of
all culture, refinement and brains in
the country, good many democrats
wanted to see them get it in the
neck, wanted to see Hearst win and
kick them all around town.
But individuals are not alone.
We noticed the esteemed" Raleigh
News and Observer was Logging for
for him. This was the most aston
ishing thing of all, for we had re-
garded it as the patron saint of pure
democracy and regularity. 1t can,
of course, claim that Hearst was the
Democratic nominee, but this will
not avail. He was, take it all in all,
the worst bolter who ever made a
race for any Office.
Another point is that the screws
in this State are always put down
tight and if paper that has been
supporting the democratic ticket
even chirps, it is abused and vilified
and called bolter. We may have
felt on previous occasions like we
wanted to jump the fence. but have
desisted on the ground that we
wanted to remain irregular" but
Well dry if the gate is not now open
and should another occasion arise we
shall not be so everlastingly particu-
Lar about it. We have a precedent
in effect.

WIFE HARGED WITH CON
SPIRACY.

Defense Alleges She Conspired With
Whitaker to Take Hedrick's Life.
Salisbury, N. G., Nov. 24.-To-
days proceedings in the Hedrick
murder trial in Rowan Superior
Court have teen the most sensational
of the week. Conspiracy On the
part of Mrs. P. F. Hedrick, wife of
the defendant, and Gray G. Whita-
ker, who was shot to death by He
drick, to end the life Of the latter,
is now charged by the defense.
Dave Leonard, a witness for the de-
Tense, testified that Whitaker, sew
eral days prior to his death, offered
him $500 to kill Hedrick. 1t was
shown that an effort was made to
have Hedrick pushed off the train
on which he was a conductor, his life
insurance also being in considera-
ton. Witnesses for the defense tes-
tilted that Whitaker had sworn to
kill the conductor the week of his
own death.
Being questioned by counsel for
the State, Mrs. Hedrick refused to
answer whether or not she entered
Into conspiracy with young Whit
aker, with whom she. had found be-
hind locked doors, to end the life of
her husband. 1t was whispered in
court that bill for conspiracy will
be asked for against Mrs. Hedrick.
The defense is pressing its plea for
temporary insanity, coupled with
the contention or self-defense. Both
sides appear we'll pleased with the
progress of the trial, which will con-
tinue into next week.
