Democrats Trying to Run Republican
Counties.
Our Senator, Mr.. Buxton, has
been doing some very energetic and
commendable work at Rsleigh, but
he has introduced at least one bill
too many, and that is the one pro-
vidlng for the appointments of
Justices of the Peace in Stokes
County. There Is not at present.
and never has been in that County,
any suggestion of negro domination,
and the local lights who put Sena tor
Buxton up to such a job do it for
political reasons and to subvert ma
jority rule in that County. In the
first place, according to the princi-
pies Of local self government, the
people should elect their justices of
the peace, and in ease they do not
elect sufficient number the repre-
sentative of the County should be
called upon to provide for the ap.
pointment of others, and those
others should be appointed under
the direction of the majority party
of that County. But we presume
that the people of Stokes have elected
a sufficient number of justices of
the peace for that County-sordina-
rily there are too many justices of
the peace in all Counties-but let
that be as it may, we do think it is
ill-becoming of an outside represent
tative or senator to take hold of
purely local matters in another
County over the heads of the repre-
sentative and senator of that County,
and especially when such interfer-
ference defeats the will of the ma
jority of the voters and taxpayers
of that County. We understand that
Mr., Buxton's bill for the appoint
ment of these justices of the peace
was shy request" but We are sorry
that he should have allowed himself
to be used in any such capacity, for
if his bill passes he will have de-
stroyed more of the Fundamental
principles of our government in this
single act than he can establish in a
lifetime. The people who pay the
taxes in Stokes County should choose
their own local Redistribution Re-

The Texas Senate Monday adopted
= resolution dismissing the commit
tee appointed to investigate the
charges against Senator Bailey be-
fore the committee had time to pre-
pare a report.
Senator Bailey had been charged
with accepting fees from branch

feet certain legislation while he was
Senator. Many believed the Sena-
tor was guilty of the charge, and
the dismissing of the investigating
com mittee looks like a clear case of
whitewash. But that is the demo.
cratic way. It reminds Us Of the

but the report was never allowed te

The poor old News and Observer
IL catching 1t from some of The
members of the legislature.
The Observer has had much to say
about members of the Senate who
did not agree with its ideas relating
to the railway rate bill. Members
of that party have been wearing the
yoke of the News and Observer for
many years, but Ii Is becoming gall.
Ing, some of them have decided
they have opinions other than the
Observers and are throwing off the
the yoke. 1t must take a great deal
of courage on their part to throw
down the democratic Bible" and
stamp II In the dust. However,
such Is the case. In the Senate Fri
day Mr.. Mclean, of Scotland, arose
"to correct false statements concern
ing him appearing in the News and
Observer" Mr.. Mclean referred to
a number of inaccuracies, purporting
to be reports Of his speeches, which
he branded as "the very worst form
of falsehood." Mr.. Mclean said
the Observer suppressed the truth a.
expressed in the Senate and printed
alleged utterances that were never
voiced In the Senate. He further
stated that no man could issue or
ders to him and then print TRADES
Of him if he refused to obey. Con
tinuing, Mr.. Mclean said:
"But it appears that We have {
self appointed guardian or trustee
for the democratic party, and unless
there is stop put to his dictation
there will, 1 fear. be actual need o.
the services of trustee of the party
in the not distant future"
Senator Mason tDemocratl alst

he termed "the unfair and uDjustifi

THE WATTS WARD LAWS NOT
ENFORCED.

Why Sheriffs Are Slack on Looking Up
Moonshine Plants-Repsal These Law
or Enforce Them.
The Chatham Record commends
a bill introduced in the legislature
ture providing that county officers
shall have fees for Selling illicit dis
tilleries. The Record thinks the
reason so few county officers make
an effort to destroy illicit distilleries
Is because they get no pay for the
work. It would seem that an Off
Ger charged with the suppression of
crime ought to be jealous in en-
forcing the law, whether or not he
gets pay for every pa ticular case.
But inasmuch as sberiffs and depu-
ties are paid by fees they are not ex-
pected to be very jealous when there
are no fees in sight. No stronger ar
gument could be made against the
fee system than this bare statmeent.
Every county officer should be put
on salary, and then if he neglects
his duty the people can easily turn
him out. He is their servant, and
he can be reached once in every two
years. The sheriff of Iredell and
his deputies have given attention to
the seizure of illicit distilleries, and
they bear the distinction, with two
or three exceptions, of being the
only county officers in the State who
do give attention to this branch of
the criminal law. For this service
the Iredell commissioners have been
making them an allowance-for the
work as it is performed-and so far
nobody has kicked about the pay
ment.-Statesville Landmark.
The Watts and Ward laws are
Democratic measures. and as most of
the sheriffs in the State belong to
that party, it comes with poor grace,
or respect, whichever you may
choose to call it, for them to 50 per-
|sistently dodge the enforcement of
these statutes. Enforce the provi-
sions or repeal the laws. That is
common sense logic.-Union Re-
publican.
