The Chronicle is right. Gen Ran

to itself to honor his memory. The

dominant sentiment politically in
North Carolina, but as longhe was
able to stand on his feet he went on the

That was a terrible tongue lashing
Senator Graham administered to
Lieutenant Governor Winston in the
Senate on Monday, and the beauty
of it is that the latter deserved every
| word of it. We would give it more
hearty approval if the Senator had
made it Severer.
The action of the persiding officer

ference committee was showing OF
it's hand by that ''Raleigh political
gang whose motto is ''rule of ruin. "
1t is IL handful of politicians and of
flee seekers composed i'll part OF eX-
republicans-negro aftiliating repub-
licans at that-and half-baked popu-
| lists who now claim to be democrats
because they see no chance OF pie or
power in the other parties. II is
strange that the masses of the people
allow themselves to be led like sheep
by such IL crowd.
The action OF the lieutenant COVER
nor shows to what extremes those
men are ready to go in order to car
ry Il point. They are IL menace to
the Democratic party, and if that
party should in the near future lose
control of the State it will be because
of the tyrannical action OF that Raj
-igh gang which has been allowed to
secure complete control OF the party

al ambitions.
Senator Graham had Just cause fol

Gen. Beverly S. Royster.
Lexington Disp atch.


The newspaper people of the State
ought not to forget Gen. Beverly S.
Royster, of Granville, who SO elo.
quentiy eulogized and defended the
editors of North Carolina from the
implied charge that they were bought
and owned by the railroads. He not
only secured the passage of his
amendment leaving the law relating
to contracts as it now stands, but
said among other things:
Editors cannot be bought, subsidized
or muzzled. They are on higher plane
They have done morc than any class o
people for North Carolina. They stand
for the moral uplift and make fewer mis-
takes than any other class of our citi
zens."

Gen. Royster is easily a leader il

men i'll the Legislature Ii there were
more like him down there, there
would be more brains mixed up will

was acknowledgement for four years
He is IL prominent Mason and has
been Grand Master of the Crane
Lodge of North Carolina. He is G
Baptist and in his home town of Ok
ford he stands high with his people
The most remarkable thing about il
is that, although a very able lawyer
with Il fine practice, withal highly
educated man, he never spent al
hour in a college, and had to leave
even the old field schools at the age
of IA. He educated himself, and is
pre-eminently a self made-man. The
fifth district has no bigger, better
man in it and the people over there
ought to be proud of him. He is a
clean, honorable, able Christian gen
tleman, with the elements so mixed
in him that any body can see he is Il

Spanking OF partisanship run to
seed. there was an extreme instance
OF it in the House OF the Legislature
a few days ago. Scotland Neck is a
dry town by special legislative enact
ment. Representatives from Halifax
introduced and supported bill to
permit the people of the town to de-
eide by ballot whether the town
should remain dry or whether a dis
pensary should be established This
seems fair enough, if the principle of
allowing the people to vote on this
question is to be recognized at all.
But the prohibitionists opposed the
bill and there was a hot fight over it,
although it finally passed the House.
When it was before that body Mr..
Dowd. of Mecklenburg. led the oppo-
sition and he piled Mr.. Kitchin, of
Halifax, who was making the fight
for the bill, with many questions, Mr..
Dowd being prompted by the treas
urer OF Halifax county. The follow
ing txtract is from the Charlotte Oh
servers legislative report:
He (Mr. Kitchin) said one of the prime
movers in this effort to run rough shod
over the Representatives from Halifax
had voted for a coal black negro in Hal
ifax and against one OF the whitest Dem
ocrats in North Carolina. Dowd asked
kitchin if the man who had SO voted
was not the Democratic treasurer Of
true and then Dowd asked If Kitchin had
n or rnt f.r
in replied: Il am n Democrat. lie was
nominated by the Democratic party,
having become q Democrat and | stand
by my party platform and nominees
and vote straight when it commands
me-. Great applause)
This is one instance in which the ap-
plause seems to have been misplaced.
The treasurer votedzfor a negro against
a white man, but was afterward accept
ed by the Democrats, nominated and
elected to office. Having been accepted
as one of the faithful and given a place
among the chief priests and scribes in the
party, his past offenses were seemingly
forgiven. Certainly it is not becoming
in those who accepted him to make pub
lie mention of the offense afterward. 1t
might be inferred from Mr. kitchin's re-
mark that he con siders the treasurer no
better now than he was when he voted
for negro against n white man, but that
Mr. Kitchin voted for him simply because
his party nominated him. Logically
this process of reasoning would force a
Democrat to vote for negro or just any
old thing his party named. Such ex,
treme partisanship cannot be good cit.
| izenship. but if the party man feels bound
| to accept whatever is offered he should
not make public complaint about it af
| terward.
