The Political Outlook.
Wilmington Messenger.

By the time the next legislature con-
venes we look to see some important
changes i'll the democratic party.
There will have been another general
election in the state and also for
president and congressman. There
is going to be factional fight in the
state democratic party organization
and nomination Ofcandidates for the
legislature and state officers, but the
question of election of two United
States senator's Ill be involved
that of successor 20 Mr.. Overman
whose successor will be chosen by the
next Legislature, and as to who shall
succeed MIR. Simmons. whose second
term begun this month, will expire
only few months, after that of the
man elected as governor to succeed
Governor Glenn
Unless there is great change of pub
liz sentiment in the next eighteen
months it will be almost an impossi-
bility to defeat Mr.. Overman. The
high stand he has taken in the SELL
ate on such short service, coupled
with his indefatigable exertions in
behalf Of his state in all matters
wherein her welfare is concerned,
have given him strong hold on our
people. The fact that he has served
only one term will strengthen his
cause-an election to a second term
as an endorsement of his course in
the first.
Mr.. Simmons case is not so strong.
1t cannot be denied that he has more
opposition in his own party than his
colleague, and when his present term
expires he will have had twelve years
OF service in the senate-iust about
| the time to make a man a useful and
influential senator, even one with
Senator Simmons natural ability,
energy and pride, in his states prog
ress-but long enough, many people
think, for one man to hold office.
This will work against him. If the fac
ton which wishes tn down him sue
ceeds in nominating its candidate for
governor, it will be pretty apt to de-
feat his election to the third term.
Already, it is said, the combination
is being perfected for control CT the
party during the next campaign for
the purpose of defeating Mr.. Sim
mons six years hence as we'll as con
troll of state offices in the meantime.
This combination will be fought by
Mr.. Simmons friends and all other
democrats who are opposed to the
rings rule.

The Antitrust Bill.
Charlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer.
Without being able to foresee ex-
actly the effect of the antitrust bill
passed by the Legislature Gas no one
is able to foresee it until it becomes
effective), the Observers predisposi-
ton is altogether favorable to it.
The bill had been SO trimmed that in
it's final form it was leveled at the
American Tobacco Company alone
of all the trusts. The readers Of this
paper know with what degree of af-
lection it regards that corporation;
but this bill as it was shaped up
meant to drive this trust out of the
State and that result would not have
been wholesome. 1t would have been
disastrous to Winston and Durham
and to many Of our smaller but prom
ising tobacco towns, and would have
deprived our tobacco-grOwers OF
local markets, forcing them out OF
business or to the shipment of their
product to markets in other States.
1t is easy enough to say that tobac-
co-growers who might find the busi-
ness Improbable should plant some
thing else, but those who say this
forget that much of the land on which
tobacco is raised will not produce
any other marketable crop, and as
for raising it and shipping it to out
side markets, the impracticability OF
this is seen upon the mere suggestion.
Notwithstanding that it is mo-
nopoly, and an oppressive one, it is
better for North Carolina that The
American Tobacco Company should
STAY in the State tran that it should
be driven out. 1t is, as a general
statement, better to regulate a mo-
nopoly than to destroy it, as, for in
stance, it is better to regulate the
railroads operating in North Caro-
lima than to put them out OF busi-
ness; but there was the case of trust
which the State could not destroy,
but the worst punishment which 1T
could infiict was to force it to trans
fer the scene OF its activity. Was it
| worth while? We think not. More
harm than good would come to
North Carolina from the banishment
OF this monopoly. Upon this legisla-
ton We are willing to fall in behind
snch men as Senator's Mclean and
Buxton and those who voted with
/ them.

Local Contributions Best Promote
Local Interests.
New Bern Journal.

New Bern Journal
Contributions need not, and are not
necessarily always money. People
are asked to contribute to some local
enterprise, and while there are those
who have money to give, there are
others who cannot give the money.
but can prove OF use by giving their
endorsement through open approval,
and encouragement by talking in
favor OF the enterprise.
Very often in the promotion OF
some local enterprise, there is talk
OF engaging outsiders who have cap
ital and influence This ia good bus
mess for such help is salways valuable.
But if outside help is imperative for
the success of the local affair, that,
it may be established, the enterprise
Is not likely to have the same ad
vancement, as it would if local help
was the main strength behind it,
Enterprises with ample capital to
sustain them, often fail. The failure
may not be due to lack of merit in
the enterprise, but lack of local en-
thusiasm to give them success. 1t
is this enthusiasm, which carried en-
terprises to splendid success, where
there was hardly money enough in
the first place to give the enterprise
much OF start. But there was the
contribution of local enthusiasm, the
general endorsement showing that
the people OF the place were behind it,
and that was enough to secure its
advancement
1t is not only in new enterprises
that local contributions in the way
OF support and encouragement,
prove all important. But every mer-
chant, every industry or manufac-
turer, every citizen doing business,
the local newspaper, one and all can
only be successful, through local help
No citizen is too poor to give some
kind of assistance Very often the
assistance of good word has chang
ed failure to a success. And this
local help OF every citizen, is not only
of value to local enterprises, but also
the person giving it becomes in some
degree a BENEFICIARY Prosperity is
not individual, always. A few citi-
zens in community quite often ap-
pear as being always prosperous,
while the rest of the community
may be enduring hard times. But
It's not true. Real community pros
perity has its greatest good, in the
number of it's citizens who are en-
joying the prosperity. As each indi-
vidual assists his neighbor to success,
the prosperity grows and broadens.
1t is the local contribution to one an
other, which gives community devel-
opment, and the community better
ment that gives good conditions to
every citizen.

Farmville (Va.) Herald.
Few business men have more to
contend with than an editor. The
only means the editor has of making
a living for himself and family is by
selling space in the columns OF his pa
per. His newspaper columns are the
same to him as the shelves OF dry
goods are to the merchant. No>one
thinks of asking the merchant to
give him the dry goods from his
shelves, but few they are who hesitate
to ask the editor to give them free
space in his columns or extra copies
OF the paper without a thought ofthe
expense incurred and loss sustained
by him in thus depriving him OF his
legitimate source OF income.

Speaker Justices Threat.
Wilmington Messenger.

By saying that the words were ut
tered in the heat of debate, and, after
reflection were withdrawn, the friends
Of Speaker Justice are trying to de-
strOy the significance Of that gentle
mans threat made in the House on
Monday that he would attempt to
read out of the party those Demo
cratic senator's who would dare to
vote against a certain antitrust bill
he had introduced that day. No
doubt the threat was made while the
Speaker was in a rage and one can
well believe that when he had cooled
down he regretted that he had let his
tongue run away with his Judgment
in giving utterancc to the thoughts
that were in his mind. The words
were withdrawn, but no report of the
proceedings that we have seen indi-
Gates any declaration on the part of
Mr.. Justice that he would not at
tempt to do what in the heat of de-
bate he declared he would do. His
withdrawal was Of the words
used, but not a declaration that he
had no purpose of doing what those
words indicated was his intention.
Men often, when under great mental
strain from anger or other exciting
cause, speak their true sentiments or
declare intention to do certain acts
which, otherwise, they would not
have disclosed, and when the excite
ment is over they regret the utter
ancrs, but tl.at regret does not, by
any means, Indicate that the senti-
ments or purpose to do the act did
not exist or that there had been a
change of sentiment Or abandonment
OF the purpose. That Mr.. Justice
made that threat, even in the heat Of
debate shows that he had in his mind
the purpose to retaliate on those
senators who voted against his bill
by attempting to read them out of
the party. He regrets having been
SO indiscreet as to declare that pur-
poce to the public. We cannot see
what other construction can be put
on his language at the time OF max
ing the threat and at the time of ex-
pressing his regret for the language
used. In passion, as in wine, often
there is truth. Don't you suppose
Mr. Justice had the desire in his heart
and the purpose in his mind to do
the deed when he made the threat?

It's Well He Apologned.
Raleigh Evening Times.

There was considerable surprise
when Speaker Justice, on the closing
day of the General Assembly, lost his
temper and threatened to read out
at the next democratic State con-
vention the names of those Senators
who would not vote for the section
OF the antitrust bill that he wanted
in it
There was no surprise short time
later in the day when he apologized
on the floor of the House and sent
over Il written apology to the Senate
for his unparliamentary and alto
gether undemocratic talk.
We say there was no surprise at
tie apology, for everybody W;lC has
ever had anything to do with North
Carolina Democrats knows that the
species is not easily scared. Especial
ly when the wielder OF the lash is one
who is understood to be seeking Of
fee at their hands.
1t has been observed all through
this session of the Legislature that
the speaker of the House was dis
posed to be very intolerant of any
opposition to his views That was
evidenced comparatively early in the
session during the hearings by the
committee on public service corpora
tions when he displayed in examining
witnesses, officials of the railroads,
animus enough to run a locomotive,
and later during his speech on the
railroad rate BILL
Last Saturday night it broke out
again when he made his impolitic at
tack on that old Roman of democ-
racy, ex-Lieutenant Governor Dough-
ton of Allegheny, whom many re-
garded as the leader of the House.
1t was to be expected that would be
a lesson to him to bride his tongue
when the storm brewed in his brain.
But the Senate touched a pet spot
when it turned down subsection A
of the antitrust bill, and the food OF
animus burst it's bounds again, and
ragged more rantankerously than
ever. 1t amounted to a threat to
read out OF the party lifelong Demo-
Gratis because they differed with him.
The apology was gracefully made,
and we are very glad Mr.. Justice Of
fered it, for the sake of harmony in
the Democratic party.

Blind Partisans and the Canteen
Raleigh Times.

Raleigh Times.
We have never been able to under
stand why the women and the par
tisan prohibitionists made such vio-
lent protest against the army can
teen when the unbiased verdict of
army officers and government ex-
perts shows that it encourages tenn
perance and decreases drunkenness.
That is self evident fact which the
partisans will not believe. The rest
of US, however, are not reponsible for
their stubbornness. The contention
that soldiers are better off physical
ly and morally when they can pat
ronize the canteen than when they
are forced to use the outside saloon
has received the support of the Order
of Rechabites, the oldest temperance
organization in the United States.
The publication of the announce
ment has provoked a whirlwind OF
comment.
1t is all very we'll, OF course, to say
that men must not drink, but they
will not stop because, OF the iniunc-
tion by word of mouth. The army
canteen is supplied with non-poison-
Gus liquids, mostly beer, which con-
tains but a small percentage OF alco-
hol. When these places do not exist
low and evil resorts are established
nearby, which take prctically all the
soldiers money for beer and whiskey
unfit to drink Even if the prohibi-
tionists will not believe it the records
prove that the canteen is the possible
solution and one which holds out the
least number of iniquities.
The Order of Rechabites has stud
led the question carefully and closely.
Its members have been impressed
with the argument OF the army Off
GERS, and they agree that the can
teen, under government supervision,
is preferable to the blind tiger. The
pity is that women and the blind
partisans cannot see it in that light.
