age he was in active control of his

Coarse and Clumsy.
Norfolk Eirginian-Pilot-


when Won are carried in the pocket
of a man, and make an uncomfortaDie
disturbance in that pocket, you are not
going to exercise much influence with the
gentleman owning the pocket. "-Iaft at
Bristol.
Here is subtle fattery, and pleas
inc insinuation, and inspiring sug-
restion OF the functions OF govern
ment, all in one compact sentence.
Analyzeit. The Unionis the pocket,
the Republican party is the gentle
man who owns and carries it, and the
South is the package which had bet
ter lie still and behave. Was ever
more insolent assumption packed
into so few words?
But we suppose the unsavory Illus
tration occurred to the speaker by
reason of the fact that it fairly de-
scribes his own unfortunate relation
to President Roosevelt. Having been
carried so long in the breeches pocket
of that imperious gentleman, he has
discovered the policy OF smuggling
quietly there in conformity with every
movement of his proprietor's ma
jestic limbs. Perhaps at first he grew
restive sometimes and was hid away
i'm some dark closet for time, until
be learned that docile submission,
though Irksome, would pay best.
Certainly in the end he seems to have
gained enough ''infuence with the
gentleman owning the pocket" to
reap an exceeding great reward.
But was evera solicitOrforpopular
favor so mdladroit? What do Nir-
Cinians think of this view of their de-
pendence on an insclent faction!
And OF the scarcely yelled implication
that the United States government
is "a chattel possession OF the Repub-
Iican party?
'Tis bad break. Almost as bad
as that made by Son-in-law Long
worth the other day. We begin to
suspect that Mr.. Roosevelt was wise
in trying to take the leadership from
his political ward.
The South in the pocket OF the Re
publican party. Not yet, thank
heaven, And we wish the whilOm
Democrats in the South who are tag
ging after Mr.. Taft's capaciOus trous-
ers much Joy in their new leader. SO
tactfuI. Such exquisite senslbility.
Such nice discrimination. What "a
happy conceit. The &. O. 2. has a
mortgage on Uncle Sam and carries
the South in its pocket. Ii silk purse
had only been substituted for pocket
book the smile would have been fault
less. What is the proverb about
that kind of a purse anyhow?

My little girl of FIVE years of age had
been troubled for a long time with

and undue fatigue. She was all run
down and in very delicate condition.
This little book was very compre-
hensi ely written, and told of the new
method of extracting the medicinal ele-
ments of the Gods liver from the oil,
eliminating the obnoxious oil which is
SO hard for children to take.
Just the thing said I, for my little

experience and just give Vinol trial"

about as severe and denunciatory as
the English language can express,

bitterly abused the Ku-klux and de-
nounced Dixon as a hyena, and i'll

Statesville Landmark

Statesville Landmark
The Landmark is OF the opinion
that the board of regents of the Bari
um Orphans Home have done a wise
thing in deciding to publish a weekly
newspaper in the interest of the
Home, provided they can get the
right man to edit and manage it. 1t
most difficult undertaking. Charity
and Children, the paper of the Bap-
tist Orphanage at Thomasville, is q
great help to that institution, and it
not only pays it's own way but pays
a revenue to the orphanage, having
a circulation of II, 1000. 1t would be
impossible to duplicate Charity and
Children, for there is but one Arch
ibald Johnson, but apaper published
on similar lines, capably edited and
managed, might in reasonable time
be made to pay its own way and it
would be a great help to the Barium
institution.

Almost every Republican one

greatly the hot-headed speech OF ex
Justice W. \. Montgomery in Raleigh
when the eX-populist trespassed upon

j. ElwOod Cox, who had dates to

In the course OF his unlicensed ha-

the Democrats are sending Tom Dix
On'S Traitor through the South now
for the purpose of reviving the dead
issues and to divert the minds of the
people from the real issue. The Re-

ment OF truth in it and because it
seeks to defend certain dead things

long since become ashamed. One of
