Spirit of Hostility Toward News
papers.
New Bern journal.

New Bern journal.
Each North Carolina Legislature
seems to develop some petty spirit OF
hostility towards the State press.
The bills before the present Legis-
lature are samples of this hostility.
No newspaper asks for ''free pass.
The newsphper''f free pass" is the con-
ception OF pers0ils Al,o ire totally
ignorant of what they say. The
very mer whO-seek to Disgrace the
press by alleging they receive per
quistes in the shape OF free railroad
transportation are men who will de-
mand-free laudation Of their public
actions in the press, and unless they
receive it, will likel Y refuse to take
the newspaper that fails to give
them public notice. The present
North Carolina legislation against
the newspapers, is an attack that
hurts most the country weekly news
paper, and to this same country
weekly, North Carolina owes obliga-
tions that can never be repaid, for
the services these country weeklies
have rendered in promoting and
helping to definite and safe ends, the
moral and industrial welfare of the
cold North State" 1t is easy to
kick over the ladder that has been
the means of gaining success. To
day it is easy to sheer at and lnsinuate
against the newspaper, and today
the newspaper profession is the one
profession that has not gained
wealth in any way commensurate
with the work of those who have
lifted North Carolina intOi national
prominence

GOOD AND BAD MONOPOLIES.

The death of the Atlanta News like
that OF the Raleigh Post shows that
when the people clearly see that a news
paper is a subsidized railroad organ.
| many OF them will not support it
I, News and Observer
Was not the Raleigh Post forced
to suspend because the News and
Observer held the monopoly of the
! Associated Press morning dispatch
es and refused to allow the Post to
secure that service?We've seen it pub
lished that that enemy of trusts and
monopolies owned the monopoly of
that service, and we have never seen
a denial from it of the statement.
1t was also stated that the Post tried
to secure the Associated Press dis
patches but could not do so because
that opponent OF monopolies when
owned by Others was not willing to
let up on the valuable one it held
and which gives it undisputed con-
troll of the morning paper Associated
Press service in Raleigh. No other
morning paper can be successfully
published in that city unless it can
secure that news service of which the
News and Observer holds the exclu-
sive-mononpolistic-right, the priv
llege OF which it has been stated
that paper refused to grant to the
Post, and we do not suppose it
would be granted to any other
morning paper which would attempt
publication there. Monopoly is Il
wicked thing, when it puts money in
other peoples pockets; but how diff
ferent when it helps to fatten ones
own purse-Nilmington Messenger.
A proper regard for decency and
consistency ought forever to estop
the News and Observer from bowling
trust and monopoly''-but it does
MT. 1t makes all the difference in the
world with some people who is the
beneficiary OF trusts and monopolies
whether they are good or bad.

OUR cordial congratulations to the
Durham Herald on the success it
has achieved. 1t announces that it
has reached the 5000 mark and is
still going forward in numbers
and prosperity. The success of the
Herald is somwhat anomalous. 1t
is morning paper that does not
carry the press dispatches, and yet
it meets IL popular demand. Its
strength lies in it's splendid local
service and editorial photographic
&c !. Editor Joe King is the
be paragraph writer in the State.
Honest and independent, he says
what he thinks and has the faculty
OF crOWding Il great deal into small
space. King stands in a class by
himself, his paragraphs scintilating
with wit, wisdom, sarcasm, philoso-
ply, keen logic, incisive thought,
strong common sense and a running
review of current events. Here's
hoping the Herald may reach $4,000
circulation and have to erect
another, and larger building to
house itself and its clever publishers,
King and Rawlings.

AS SPEAKER JUSTICE EXPLAINS

Speaker Justice has been taking II
rest at his home in Greensboro.
Naturally he talked about affairs
down at Raleigh, and among other
things he undertook to explain why
there is apprehension and criticism
of the Legislature. He told the
Greensboro Record that it was all
due ct lobbyists who send broadcast
exaggerated and alarming reports
about the danger of extreme and
radical action by the Legislature for
the purpose of muddyipg the waters;
that the American tobacco trust and
the railroads have the most "pestifer-
Gus paid lobby in Raleigh ever
known, and these lobbyists are try
ing to alarm the conservative bust
ness men OF the State for the sole
purpose OF staving off such remedial
legislation rs may be enacted to
curb them.
We do not deny that there are
paid lobbyists in Raleigh, but Mr..
Justices allegation that they are re-
sponsible for the unrest and alarm
felt by the conservative business men
OF the State on accO unit of possible
radical and dangerous legislation,
will not hold good. 1t was certain
bills introduced in the Legislature,
Mr.. Justice himself among the intro
ducers, as published in theproceedings
from day to day, that caused alarm.
The temper of the Legislature was
judged by it's action-the bills offered.
1t does not require the services of
paid lobbyists to arouse the conser-
vative right thinking people and
move them to action when they see
danger ahead.
But we are glad to believe that the
radical element in the Legislature is
in the minority and the State will be
saved from its enemies-however well
meaning they may be.

SAYS LEGISLATURE IS A SAFE
BODY.

| REPRESENTATIVE W. c. Dowd OF
Mecklenburg, thinks the Legislature
is safe body and expresses the
opinion that no harmful legisla ton
will be adopted despite some OF the
radical bills that have been intro
duced Mr.. Dowd spent Sunday at
I his home in Charlotte and adverting
to the fact that the Legislature has
been more or less severely criticised in
various quarters over the State, he
is quoted by his paper the News as
saying:
There is no reason whatever for
anticipating any legislation OF n
harmful character on the part Of the
present Legislature. There are some
men of radical views in there at
Raleigh, as is to be anticipated in
any body of that size, but they are
overbalanced by a large majority OF
the more conservative and expert
enced men. There is enough conser-
vatism in the Legislature to over
come all extreme propositions and
hold down the radicals. The people
of North Carolina may rest assured
that nothing detrimental to the
good OF the State will be enacted
into law
This is reassuring coming from the
source it does. IL is to be hoped
Representative Dowd's predictions
will be borne out by results.
MANY Of you gentlemen should now
take back much of what you said
concerning the populist party
Durham Herald.
Since there have been ell ected set
OF fellows Of populistic principles
wearing the livery OF the Democratic
party.
THE News and Observer jumps
vigorously on the Charlotte Observer
for saying the Legislature is a men
ace to the State. Did not the News
and Observer think the Fusion Legis-
lature menace to the State? The
PittsbOrO Record, the level headed
ness and conservatism OF whose
editor the News and Observer has
high regard for, says some OF the
members of the Legislature are so
blinded by prejudice against the
railroads, that they're not only unfair
and unjust but as wild as ever any
POpnlists were in their ideas OF rail
road legislation.

Mr.. Justice and the Railroads.
Durham Herald.

The News and Observer calls on US
to name the grievance that Mr.. Jus-
tice has against the railroads. If We
wanted to be mean about it we
might ask the News and Observer
to name the members whom it be-
lieves to be influenced by the railroads,
if not actually employed by them.
However, this has nothing to do with
the case We do not know why Mr.
Justice has it in for the Southern,
but to us it seems that his enthusi-
assn is prompted by something more
than desire for the welfare of the
people.

EQUALIZATION OF TAXATION.

MrCH is being said just now about
the EQUALIZATION OF salaries. That Is
all right, pay in proportion to the
amount Of work and Importance OF
the office-but what is most needed
is the equalization OF taxation. The
greatest inequality and injustice
comes in right here-all persons not
payingequally proportion to their
taxable property. A glance at the
tax books would open the eyes OF
people as to how poor some OF their
neighbors are whom they supposed
to be we'll off. There ought to be
law requiring the tax abstracts to be
published in each county every year,
showing the amount Of taxable
property OF all kinds, by whom given
in and how much, and the number
of taxable polls, just as there is to
publish the exhibit ofcOunty eXpendi-
lures. This we believe would go Il
long way toward correcting the evil
