DAVIS, OF ARKANSAS.

Senator Jeffries Davis, of Arkan-
sas, made speech In the United
States Senate, few days ago, that
was q surprise to the whole country,
and made his Democratic colleagues
bow their heads in shame. Even
Tillman was shocked and left the
Senate chamber while Davis was
paving the air and banging the
desks. His speech was of the red
shirt campaign variety, possibly the
kind he had been accustomed to de
livering in the backwoods of Arkan-
sas. He abused everybody from the
President down, and he wanted a
change made 10 every thing in sight.
We don't know what Tillman will
do for excitement now as he can't
compete with his colleague In the
use of abusive language or in aero
baltic performances while in action.
While Davis was Governor of Ar
kansas his name was Jefferson Davis,
but since his nonsensical, abusive
TRADE In the Senate a few davs ago,
the Southern press refers to him as
"Jeffries" Davis, which they all
claim is his real name. And 90
mote it be.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1907-12-19

For the past few years many Of
the Democrctic leaders all over the
the country have been begging for
Q Law 10 prevent campaign coniribu-
tons In presidential years. They
had persuaded some Of the popu-
lstion TO believe they were sincere Ia
their plesdIngs. But, alas the very
first opportunity they had st the
exchequer they grabbed 800, 900 at
9 single swipe, and absolutely re-
fused TO return any portion OF the
amount. The occasion 10 which we
refer was at the meeting Of the
Democratic National Committee in
Washington City last week when
they sold their meeting place to the
highest bidder, the price being
500, 900. Some very few Of the
members were not In favor of &C
cepting any more than just the ac-
tual Gust Of the Convention In Dem
YER. But 1t looked good to the
older politicians who knew they
would experience trouble In secur-
Ing money to run their next cam
paign, and they voted almost solidIy
TO hold to the money while they
had 1t. This little incident shows
that the Democratic politicians
wanted law passed to prevent large
contributions to the Republican
campaign fund simply because they
could not raise necessary funds in
their own ranks. The Denver Incl
dent shows they will take money
when 1t is coming their way.

a plseaAcEFUl SITUATION.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Charlotte Observer says:
"There 10 no longer any doubt
that the President and other leading
Republicans In this city and In the
states north Of here have come TO
the belief prevalent In the South
that the average Southern Republi-
can leader does not want his party
to grow there, but prefers that IL
remain as IL Is, 80 there will be
more spoils for few. | have heard
much talk Of this kind since az
irving here ten days ago. 1t Is be
Iieved In certain official circles here,
understand, that local leaders In
North Carolina and in other South
eru States would not welcome In
their ranks the hundreds of Northern
business men who have gone TO that
section Of the country and invested"
This shows what Is the matter
with the Republican party in the
South. This Ia the way itoks 10 to
other people, and the pity Is that 1t
Ia true.
We are delighted, however, that
the President Is finding out the
truth. The patronage machine is
the curse of the Republican party
In the South, and the only way to
break up the accursed thing Ia from
the White House. There are enough
men in this State today who believe
In Republican principles to make 1t
Republican State if they would
come into the party. But they will
not join a patronage machine for
they are not candidates for Office
and will not join "a dog fight over
the pie counter"
These men know that the Re
publican State Chairman who il
ia control as patronage dispenser,
does not want the party to grow
and therefore does not want them
in the party. The President car
change the whole situation by put
ting in Office men of character and
standing who honestly want to build
up progressive and dominant
party.

At meeting of the Democratic

At meeting of the Democratic
National Committeeman in Wash
ington City few days ago they de-
cided on Denver, Colorado, as the
meeting place for the next Demo-
cratic Convention. The Charlotte
Observer after brooding over the
matter makes the following obser-
Walton:
"We don't take much stock In the
notion that political conventions
should always be held at central
points, but Denver's distance of
some 1900 miles from the centre of
population Is really a little formida
BILE for a year when railroad passes
lie under legal BAN"
Judging from reports the matter of
location was not taken into consider
tion. 1t seems that the Committee
was after money. Denver put up
the filthy lucre and got the Conven-
ton.

SHOULD DEWEY BE PARooNED

A few days ago Governor Glenn
heard pleas for and against petition
for the pardon of Thomas w. Dewey,
defaulting Cashier of the Merchants
and Farmers Bank of New Bern,
who is now serving six years. sen
tence in the penitentiary.
The plea of the defendants attor-
neys and other petitioners was that
Dewey had already been sufficiently
punished for the crime, and that he
was really more victim of circum-
stances than criminal in the whole
matter. Elk Governor Aycock made
a plea that Dewey was in reality
an innocent victim of designing per.
sons under whose influence he came,
and that one small shortage led
gradually to others In efforts to ex-
tricate himself from difficulties into
which he had been inveigled.
At the conclusion of the hearing
Governor Glenn said he would take
the matter into consideration and
make a ruling later.
1t will be remem bered that Dewey
stole about 100000 from the New
Bern bank, and that many widowe
and orphans who had money in this
bank suffered severely. Dewey was
sentenced to only six years for the
crime, and was given easy Office
work besides, for which he Is being
credited with $4,000 per year. Il
| Dewey alone was guilty his sentence
was exceedingly light. If we are
to have banking institutions then
they must be protected. If they
are not many people will put theil
money in fence corners and ole
stump holes rather than at the dis
pOsal of some bank clerk. The bank
are a great convenience and a benefi
to the people and especially to tn.
business world, but people mus
have confidence in them before they
can be operated successfully. II
pardon men like Dewey would shak,
the peoples confidence and woult
have a very bad effect on the bank
ing interests of the State. If Dewey
is the victim Of designing persons
then have those designing person
arrested and sentenced for the crime
and pardon Dewey.
