We are glad to note that the Street
Car Company of Raleigh will here
after charge only five cents to the
Fair Grounds during fair week, in
stead of ten cents which has been
the price charged in the past. We
have never thought it just to charge
the people ten cents simply because
they were compelled to use the car
lines to reach the fair grounds. If
the car lines can make money charg-
ing five cent fares ordinarily they
can certainly make money at same
price when there. is an increased
amount of travel. We congratulate
the new management of the Street
Car Company on their progressive
spirit.

"Were you ever saloon keeper"

had. "And why do you ask ?''
Because" she said, "you use sa
loon keepers argument" Then she
launched into TRADE on saloons and
tobacco.
"Time to git," muttered the pro-
fessor, as he reluctantly concealed a
halfsmoked Havana, and felt in his
pocket to see if his plug Of "Old

"Mrs. Nation," he said, 81 agree

FILIPlNos AND ADJOURNMENT

selves.
Washington Post.
The failure of the FilipinOs to
step up and take charge of a big
share of their own independence is
an embarrassing incident, both to
those anti-imperialists who have
wept crocodile tears for the down
trodden islanders and to the mis-
taken optimists who thought they
perceived remarkable capacity for
self government in the Filipinos.
Only one resident out of thirty five
qualified as voter at the recent
registration. The native assembly
will, therefore. be elected by few
politicians and their hangers-on, in
stead of being chosen by the people
as a whole. Inasmuch as the beau
ties of partial self-government
through the election of native as
sembly had been assiduously adver-
tised to the Filipinos, it is fair to
assume that their failure to register
is evidence that they do not care a
rap for the privilege of governing
themselves They have never done
so; they do not know how, and
they do not care to learn.
The outcome is of value in one
respect, at least. It justifes the
American government in going
ahead with the improvement of con-
ditions in the Philippines, in its
own way, without regard to the
bowling of the dervishes of despair.
The Filipinos having declared that
they do not care to govern them
selves, they should be treated as
children in government, and their
rights should be carefully safe
guarded by the Americans who must
continue to govern them. Another
lesson of the registration is so obvi.
Gus that it would not be necessary
to refer to if the United States had
not apparently ignored it in the past.
This lesson is that the plant of self:
government is of very slow growth,
and must not be forced too fast.
There would be nothing but folly
in establishing impotent and an
archistic doumas in the Philippines,
to fall one after another as their
menace to established order became
manifest.
The experiment in Offering Fill
pinos the ballot is disappointing, of
course, to all Americans whose de-
sire to see the islanders self-gov-
erned is based upon a lively appre-
citation of the nuisance of governing
them. But the decks are cleared, at
any rate, of a certain amount of rub
bish. The United States can now
proceed to govern the Philippines
without pausing at times to search
its heart for the mythical monster
of tyranny.

TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA FOR ROOSEVELT
Many Thousands of Democrats Would

Washington POST

Many Thousands of Democrats Would
Vote for Him for Second Term.
Washington Post.
"There are thousands of men in
my country and in Texas who might
be classed as Roosevelt Democrats"
said Mr.. J. F. McMurray, of South
McAlester, Ind. T., at the Raleigh.
Mr.. McMurray is Texan, who has
lived many years In the Indian Ter
ritory, where he occupies an en-
viable position as lawyer and citi-
zen. He has not acted with the
Democratic party since 1896, because
Of his reluctance to accept the free
silver plank in the party's platform
"Were fate to decree that Roose-
welt should once more lead the Re-
publicans," continued Mr.. McMur-
ray, she would split the Solid South.
I am satisfied that he would get the
electoral vote of the new State of
Oklahoma, and he would come very
near carrying that Gibraltar of De-
mocracy, the Lone Star State. 1t
would be more than an even wager
that he would do so were he to 90
down there and talk to the people
in his characteristic style Of frank
ness and naturalness that makes him
a popular idol. AS look at it this
disruption of the South in a politi-
cal way would be one of the best
things that could happen to our SEC
ton. Our political solidarity has
been far more of a hindrance than
a help to US, and if every State be-
yond the Potomac were in the
doubtful column it would give us a
healthier situation than is now pos
sible."
