political Kaleidoscope cnanges so rap
idly, and sometimes ABRUPTLY, it is
usually unsafe to prognosticate.
There is one fact, however, which it
will be we'll for the managers Of the
Democratic organization to notice.
The thinking men Of the Democratic
party, especially in this section Of
the country are very tired of follow
ing like a flock Of sheep and bell
weather who may be put up simply
because he, can bleat and ring his bell
the loudest and longest. We have
had too much of that sort of thing.
A man may put on the garb of De-
mocrat, and by his preachments and
doctrine violate every Democratic
principle, and yet we are expected to
support him. The time is passing or
has passed whom we can be led by
that kind Of halter"
"To what particular class of Demo-
Gratis do you refer, if I may inquirer"
"Well, T am absolutely impcrsonal
in my observations. We have had too
many of the class / have just refer
red to. 1t seems to be only ncces-
sary nowadays for man to have
an ineNhaustiblc vocabulary-a YER
bosity like an endless chain-and
generalities as broad as the hcmis-
phere and not deeper than Piney
Woods Pond, to be able to prescribe
articles of faith, which every other
Democrat must subscribe to or be
read out of the party. This dictum
OF these self-constituted party lead
ers comes very near to the domain of
political insolence.''
"Is there any danger, do you think,
of men such as you describe dominat-
ing the next National Democratic
Conventions
"Now, you will have to put to me
an easier conundrum. have no
means of being better informed in
that regard than you are. One thing
l think [ may venture to say, that if
that class Of statesmen do dominate
the Convention and have their way,
you may look for a revolt that will
be far reaching in its effects. The
oldtime Federalists, who never had
much faith in the capacity of the
people to govern themselves would
stand aghast at the centralizing,
paternalistic doctrines advocated by
politicians Of the present day, some
of these politicians calling themselves
Democrats.
"By distorted, unreasonable con-
of that provision of the Fed
eral Constitution, which confers upon
Congress the power to regulate COM
merce among the several states, ETC.,
etc., they have made and are making
a commercial octopus of it, which en-
braces within its tentacles everything
that crosses state lines, from an OK
cart to train of cars.
"The main object of that provision
was to prevent the states putting I'D
toll gates against each other, and
thereby prevent the fairest CONNER
cial and business intercourse between
them. 1t is now being employed not
to regulate commerce 'but to obliter-
ate states lines, invade private rights
and confiscate private property
"What the country needs is a man
as Chief Magistrate who will not, in
the performance of his official func- |
tions, cross the lines or attempt to
cross the lines of demarcation laid
down between the Independent CO.
ordinate branches Of the Government.
In the language of our school boy
days who will 'shinney on his own
side.''

At q banquet in Chattanooga, Tenn ,
some days ago where w. J. Bryan and
other prominent democrats were gather
ed, a freak politician named John Tenn
pie Graves delivered himself of a bit of
hot air during which performance he
suggested that Mr.. Bryan nominate
President Roosevelt for a third term.
this Lime as the candidate of the democ-
racy. Of course the idea was redicu-
lous and Col. Graves was simply talking
for ~''buncombe," but some thin-headed
democrats took it seriously and r fall
ing W themselves to congratulate Mr..
Graves, one of them being the Mavor
of Charlotte, who was recently nomi-
mated TO succeed himself. For such in
consistency and fool-hardiness he has
been roundly denounced by the press OF
the State and even the people who sup
ported him for mayor, as he should have
besn. So far as we have observed, on
ly one newspaper in the State making
any %pretention to democracy has even
limited at an endorsement Of his action
in the matter. He is doubtless sorry
now ''that he has went and gone and
done IT," If he isn't, there must be
something wrong in the upper story

The member of any political party,
who is such from principle, is respected
In his convictions. But the fellow who
Is willing ''to run with the hare and
hold with the hounds" cannot hope to
have the full confidence of those who
esteem principle above the individual.
In public matters, honest convictions
should always supersede personal friend
ship and this idea is coming to be more
generally recognized in the political
circles Of each party organization. II
is refreshing to note that questions in
which fundamental principles are in
volved are not-now regarded so lightly
as formerly. 1t argurs well for any par
ty to stand for something.

Members of congress get a pretty goot

Members of congress get a pretty good
''rake off, these days, since the salary
bill went into effect on the 18th of March.
The law gives each senator and repre-
sentative $2O.55 per day, or 1925 every
month, which is $500 annually. Thu
is not bad by any means and there is re-
muneration as well as honor now 10 be-
ing a member of congress. When the
compensation of congressman began in
1769, the members we're allowed $500 a
day while actually engaged in the dis.
charge Of their Official duties, and thirty
cents mileage. In 1875 an increase was
made to S7.M per day and thirty-fve
cents cents mileage. An annual salary
OF $4,000 was voted during the session of
1856, and ten years later, or Whereabouts
it was further increased to $5, 900 per
year. Forty years since the last raise
the servants Of the t'dear people" vote
TO pay themselves 81, 500 per year. But
we r living in q progressive age, you
know.

AS TO CHAIRMAN SIMMONS.

The views entertained by this eWs
paper regarding the proposed resigna-
ton of Senator Simmons as chairman OF
the State Democratic executive COM
mfttee at this time seem to meet with
general favor and there is an evident
purpose in the minds of leading demo-
Gratis to prevail with Chairman Simmons
TO remain at the head of the organize
ton until the meeting of the State con-
vention next year, when a new execu-
tive will be selected and a new chair
man decided upon. The Raleigh News
and Observer copies our editorial refer
enee to this matter last week and adds.
eff the view expressed by the Hustler
is shared in general by the leading
democrats It is probable Senator Sim
mons will withhold his retirement until
the next state convention assemblies.
The selection of a successor in this on
year, with no important matter on hand
might cause unnecessary differences
and might embarrass the new committee
next year in the selection Of the new
chairman"
Whatever may be the position taken
by 1.-THE leading democrats" upon the
question, The Hustler shall adhere to
the candid opinion recently expressed
to the effect that Mr.. Simmons would
make a mistake to retire now and force
the party to select a new leader, when
there In no good reason for such action
The principal a assigned for the
action contemplated by the chairman is
that he onght not to be holding that po'
sition and serving the people as Senator
at the same time. True, such a condi-
ton may not be in keeping with the
eternal fitness of things" yet the sena'
tor has discharged ably the arduous du'
ties of these two oGceH for the past si1
years and there can be nc additions
"impropriety'' in his holding them
little while longer. He could certainly
'tstand patti and there will be nc othel
important duty as chairman to perform
before the expiration of his presen
term as the head of the organization.

All democrats are expected to vote
the straight democratic ticket next

will mean improved conditions in the
public affairs of this thriving little city.
