"The all-important question :
.'What is a Democrat ?" has been
settled at last. The News and Cou-
rier says ga Democrat is a Grover

If the above holds good, then Jo-

Carrie Nation, the noted saloon
smasher, has been In this State for
several days. She has visited Sails

now in Durham, and is apparently
vending her way to Raleigh. Carrie

smashing saloons in bleeding Kan

There isn't going to be much peace
in this country until Carrie Nation

We fear there is no hope for peace.
If Carrie buries the Ratchet some
one else will dig it up, and even if
the New York World finds out what
is Democrat this year it will have
the same problem to solve next
year, as a Democrat is not the same

The Valiant Mr. PtsSot tot&f.
One OF the best and most signin-
can't cartoons that we remember to
have noticed lately appeared In The
State Friday. Three vultures were
represented rs sitting on limb, each
clutching In Its claw q name card
with the Inscriptions, "Criminal, I"
"Pistol Toter," and Coward" re-
spectively. The grouping Ii not In
correct, nor is II q far cry from .
coward to q criminal provided the
pistol In the pocket route is used as
Is 30 often the case. The practice Of
carrying q pistol is the most serious
menace to society today, the liquor
curse alone excepted. Our legi STA
tive bodies have made some feeble
attempts to enact and enforce GER
tain measures against this dangerous
practice, but decidedly the most GER
tain knowledge we have today that
there are laws on this subject is re-
course to folios Of law and not to
the rulings Of the courts snd the
efforts Of the officers. Chester Is. @.

ing it a misdemeanor for men to

Even . Trial Does Good.

Every indictment and trial of q
lynching is productive of good,
though his acquittal by q 'jury of
his peers" is easily foreseen by pro-
phetic eyes. He loses time, his de-
Tense costs money, and there Is more
or less Of mental anguish until the
foreman stands up and pronounces
the usual "Not guilty." This takes
no account Of the lashings Of con-
science, because your average lyncher
has no conscience to be lashed. But
the general result of Indictment and
trial is deterrent and wholesome.
Keep them up, though there may
never be a conviction-Charlotte

The boy who is thinking of leav-

work he has to do there had better
give some thought to the amount Of
labor it will require to earn a com.

# people who are ordinarily unable
to afford the higher priced playhouacs.
The success Of this particular branch
of the Institutes work Is attcsted by
The fact that since October /, about

ltS reduced rates. While Shakes
peare has heretofore been considered
more a financially risky attraction for
the select few with bulbous foreheads,
Director Smith has made the surprls-
Ing discovery that among the classes
for which the Institute Is working
there Is large demand for the works
Of the Bard of Avon. During a run
Of Shakesperlan productions here $500
tickets were sold at the reduced rates
by the Peoples Institute for eight per-
formances, 1000 for the last perfor-
nance alone. The typical Broadway

in this fact those who bemoan the de-
