THE CAUCASIAN regrets very much
that the otherwise excellent Daily

short of what a real newspaper
should be in this case to the extent
of making true the prediction of the
Charlotte Observer.
If the Daily News creates the inn.
preston that it is an organ and not
newspaper, then it will lose caste
and standing.
The controversy between Judge
Adams and Senator Butler was pub
lished in the Charlotte Observer AND
other daily papers and it was the
most readable matter they have pub
lished in some time.
The News should publish read
able stuff from or about Adams o.
Butler or about any one else.

Young Men of Georgia for Roosevelt.
Washington Post.
"The young men Of the country
are going to send Theodore Roose-
Welt back to the white House for an
other term" said Col. Robert J.
Lowry, of Atlanta, at the New Will
lard yesterday afternoon. Colonel
Lowry is one of the most prominent
bankers in Georgia, and is a warm
admirer of the President. Colonel
Lowry stopped over in Washington
en- route home from Hot Springs,
Ark, where he attended a meeting
of the executive committee of the
American Bankers Association.
Col. Lowry takes small interest in
politics. He is president of the
Lowry National Bank of Atlanta,
and Is not only one of the leading
figures in Georgia's commercial life,
but believes in recreation. His coach
and four is one of the familiar sights
on Atlanta's fashionable boulevards.
1.-THE sentiment among the young
men for Roosevelt is strong in the
West," said he, ssbut even. in my
home city there is such strong admit
ration for the President as to sur
prise you."

Wants Old Time Religion.

An Indiana Baptist preacher wants
to get back to old time religion, and
he speaks some straight stuff on the
subject. A quotation is interesting.
"What America needs more than
railway extension, and Western irri-
CATION, and low tariff and bigger
wheat crop and merchant marine,
and a new navy, is a revival OF
piety, the kind mother and father
used to have-piety that counted it
good business to stop for daily
prayers before brea kfass, right in the
middle of harvest; that quit field
half hour early Thursday night, 80
as to get the chores done and 60 to
prayer meeting. That's what we
need now to clean this country OF
the filth of graft, and of greed, petty
and big; of worship of fine houses
and big lands and high Office and
grand social functions. What is this
thing we are worshipping but a vain
repetition of what decayed nations
fell down and worshipped just be-
fore their light went out? Great
wealth never made a nation substan.
tial nor honorable. There is moth.
ing on earth that looks so good thai
is so dangerous for man or nation
to handle as quick, easy, big money

ENEMIES IN THE ROOSEVELT CAMP.

ENEMIES IN THE ROOSEVELT CAMP.
The Washington Times after call
ing attention to how loudly some
professional politicians, who are be-
lieved to be secretly in league with
reactionary forces, are now yelling
for Roosevelt for another term, says
that here lies the greatest danger to
the continuation of the progressive
policies of this administration.
The Times points out how the dis
honest politician is forced by the
Presidents popularity to strongly
declare for Roosevelt in order to
fool the people of his State and get
in the national convention which he
can control.
We add the following extract from
the strong editorial of The Times:
"Then, if Mr.. Politician gets on
the delegation, and gets others of
his own ilk as his colleagues and
if then the President is out Of it
finally and irrevccably, what of it 3?
Mr.. Politician is ia position to make
terms for himself and his organiza.
tion with the new dominating forces
in his party.
But after they have secured the
control which they want, lot OF
these ardent Roosevelt men will be
found consulting with the represeu-
= tatives of other elements, and their
consultations will have in them fal
less of purpose to further Roosevelt
policies than their present protesta
tions suggest
This is exactly in line with whaI
Senator Butler has charged that GER
tain politicians in this State are try
ing to do.
There is certainly danger that som,
hypocrites may work this trick. LIE

ANOTHER CHANCE FOR ADAMS Te
BORROW MORE AoJEcTWEs.

The following appears In the edi
toriaI columns Of the Raleigh News
and Observer:
e correspondent asks for the ex'
act language used by Tom Watson
in describing Marion Butler. Here
are a few lines that contain the not
test part:
"He played the game tof trading
with both parties) 80 well that he
rose from the honorable poverty OF
q country editor into the tainted
wealth Of a national prostitute-his
riches being augmented occasionally
by impartially swindling the gov
eminent and the Indians in lobby.
Ing mysterious clauses into appro'
priAtion bills"
Judge Adams having borrowed from
Joe Daniels all the coarse, backneyeo
adiectives used in abuse Of Senator
Butler, might now borrow fresf
supply from Tom Watson. This i
a great chance for Adams If he ha
recovered sufficiently from Butler
last reply. And besides, why SHOULD
not Adams and Daniels join In get
ting Tom Watson to give them som
few facts as basis for these adject
ives? For since Watson has gon
back into the Democratic primarie
and supported Hoke Smith for Coy
ernor of Georgia, Daniels and Adam
ought to be willing to rely on hir
to do anything in his power to bel
them in trying to prevent Republ
can growth in North Carolina.
1t is true that Watson's onl
grievance against Senator Butler
that he got only half of the Ele'
toral vote of this State for him Fl
Vice-President, but that should NAL
no difference with Adams and Da
iels.
And then, too, Adams knows tn

WATSON AN AcITaToR ONLY.
Hickory Times-Mercury.)

Our friend, Thomas E. Watson, it
seems to US is unjust in his criti-
cisms against Senator Butler. But
Ter only did in State and national
politics what the majority of his
party wanted, and Mr.. Watson ought
to know it. We know that much,
and all Populists in this State know
it. Mr.. Buffers political record is
as clean and consistent so far as party
and party policies are concerned as
those Of Mr.. Watson's or amy other
politicians. The facts, party poll
cies and results are with Butler and
against Watson. Butler is poll
tician and does something, while
Mr.. Watson is an agitator and does
nothing, save for himself.
