free passes and graft in that. The
taxpayers would like to know -
While the railroad matter is being
probed il would be we'll to go back
and show the facts in regard to the
management Of the Atlantic and
North Carolina Railroad. The peO-
pie would like to know the facts
under State management as well as
how the Southern and other roads
are managing their business. We
have no objection to the present rail-
road investigation, but some of the
same lawyers who are now prose-
cutting the railroads should show
the voters how they managed the
States interest in the railroads.
When Aycock was Governor the
investigation Of the Atlantic and
North Carolina was held behind
closed doors. The taxpayers paid
for the investigation but the report
of that Committee has never been
made public. Why didn't Aycock
and his advisers make that report
public as they are now demanding
that the Southern shall make all its
affairs public? That report is now in
the archives of the Governors office.
Aycock would not make it public
but Gov. Glenn could now do so il
he saw fit.

Desire to Prosecute Republicans.
The trial for the assassination of
Goebel is on the horizon again in
Kentucky. Caleb Powers is dragged
before the public again after being
seven years in Jail. A great many
believe that what are called the as
sassination trials in Kentucky have
been merely venomous political
pursuit of Republican State officials
and an attempted arraignment for
murder of the whole Republican
party of the State. But for this
Democratic policy, doubtless, the as
sassin of GOebel would have been
singled out and punished long ago.
