THAT PAYMENT CLAUSE.

Some of the newspapers in the
state are passing adverse criticism
on that stipulation in the agreement
between the governor and the rail-
roads. that the latter shall pav
s17,5O0 toward liquidating the ex-
penses of the state in conVening the
legislature and for court costs.
The Charlotte Chronicle says the
legislature is called to rectify an
admitted injustice the railroads re-
ceived at its hands and it seems
tough that they should be made to
pay the bill" Another paper which
opposes this feature of the compro-
mise is The Salisbury Post, whose
editor is a member of the legisla-
ture. 1t does seem tough on the rail-
roads, and is a slam on the state,
that her governor should require
the railroads to contribute this sum
to the states expenses in order to
get a compromise on the matters in
dispute.

STATE GUARD ENCANIPMENT
GROUNDS.

What means al this row about the
state guard encam1ment grounds at
Morehead? We thought when Whining
tons offer OF the bes; camp grounds
in the state was turned down in favor
of the Morehead proposition that those
grounds were to be made an ideal
state guard camp. Everything was 10
be done to make the soldiers stay
there pleasant and profitable as to mill
itary trainins There were to be rife
ranges, a plentiful supply of good wa
ter, permanent buildings. electric
lights, good parade grounds, and ev-
erything else imaginable to make it
what a military camp should be. Will
nington was told thar she could not
get the encampment unless she offered
great deal more than she had pro-
posed to do; that More heads offer was
far superior to hers, and when the
camp was located at the latter place
there was great rejoicing in certain
quarters and boasting Of. what splen-
did camp ground the state guard would
have. How far have these predictions
come true? What have those who were
SO much opposed to Wilmington secur-
ing the encampment to say now about
the conditions at the camp site chosen
By the authorities? Wilmington would
have carried out her pledges, and had
the grounds offered kere been chosen
the state guard would now have
camp ground that it would be proud of,
and there would have been no such ac-
ton as the resolution adopted at the
state guard meeting in Raleigh last
week.

WHY NOT BUYER ALSO GUILTY?

If prohibition is intended to stop the
use Of Intoxicating liquors as we'll as
to close the saloons, why do not the
law makers impose the same penalty
on purchasers as well as on the sell
ers of liquors in localities where traffic
in the article is prohibited? Why
should not each party to the transac-
ton be equally guilty? The party who
buys stolen goods, knowing them to be
stolen is equally guilty of crime
as the person who stole them. Why
should not the same rule of law apply
to the illegal sale of and purchase. of
liquors? one who buys liquor in a
locality where its sale is prohibited
buys with knowledge of the illegality
of the sale Why, then, is not the
purchaser as guilty as the seller? Is
a special statute needed to make the
purchaser guilty? Isn't he at common
law guilty Of the offense Of aiding and
abetting the seller in the illegal sale?
He surely is particeps criminis. The
sale could not take place without his
willing participation in the illegal
transaction. Such being the case, he
surely is equally as guilty of aiding
in the sale as is the one who buys stol-
en- goods knowing them to be stolen.
So long as the man who buys fears no
punishment. knowing that if the trans
action is discovered only the seller
can be punished there will be men
ready TO buy, aiding and abettng the
ether party-the only one running the
risk of punishment-in violating the
law. Take away from the buyer this
immunity from punishment and he
will be much more careful about vio-
lating the law, which he does now, ev-
cry time he makes an illegal purchase
Of liquor.

SPEAKER JUSTICES Po&a14os


sIr. John u. Julian, a. member OF
the legislature from P.owan county,
and also editor of The Salisbury
Post, in the latter capacity on
Thursday wired Speaker Justice
asking if he would oppose Governor
Glenn's Recommendation on the rail-
way rate matter, TO which the
speaker replied as follows:
Il deem it due to other members
of the legislature and for reasons
stated in rcy letter to the governor Of
November goth. that l withhold ex-
preston Of my Views on that point
until the legislature assemblies and
the members have had an opportunity
to confer with each other about the
matter. / am, however, unalterably
opposed to any course being taken
that will look like receding from the
position the democratic party and the
legislature has taken that the rail-
roads must get out of politics and SUD
nit to the just and reasonable controt
OF the state. This is the only stani
to take to insure government py the
people"

Tallyrand, that the purpose OF Ian
guage is to conceal ones thoughts.

guard should have been located on
WrightSville sound. 1t makes editor
ial reference TO the resolution adopted
by the state guard association in Raj
elgh on the unsatisfactory condition
of the camp site at Morehead. 1t says
the selection of Morchead was over
the protest of the men of the ranks
who preferred Wilmington. 1t says
truely that nothing that either More
head City nor the Norfolk and South
ern car do would bring Morehead up
tc the desirable conditions of Wrights-
Vile as an encampment ground and
that a return to Wrightsville perma-
nently would be the sensible thing to
do Perhaps # New Hanover county

These counties are settled by the most
uncompromising republicans ever

Another thing-there is no legal

ties and less moOnshining than in the
eastern counties. 1t would be sup
posed that the mountain coves and
the traditional mountain faStneSsaS''
would afford the ideal condition for
moonshining, and they do. but Illicit

weeded out. 1t droOpS there, while it

saloons to the west are in Salisbury,
Winston and Reidsville. These towns

the west, With these three exceptions
the saloon in this state is unknown

JOHNSON AND BRYAN.

The New York World has OF late
taken up the Johnson cause and mas
editorially made some very strong
noints in favor of the nomination by
the democrats of MinnesOta's governor
for president From one OF them we
gather the following: The World says
that for the democrats to win in the
election of next fall they must secure
95 electoral votes in states carried by
Mr.. Roosevelt in 1904. Mr. Bryan, it
says, cannot do this; that, perhaps, no
democrat can, but that there are some
democrats who can come nearer doing
so thar he, and that NJ. Johnson is
one Of them; that in New YORK and
New jersey MI. Johnson would be
100 900 votes stronger than Mr.. Bryan;
that no democratic candidate for presi-
dent ever carried Minnesota; M.
Cleveland lost that state by 1000 IN
1884 by $4,000 in 1888, by 10000 in
1892 Mr. Bryan lost it by 53,O00 i'll
1896 and by 1900 IL 800; Mr. RO0s0-
velt's plurality in 1904 was 161 GOO. but
Mr.. Johnson, the democratic nominee
was elected by plurality Of 6.352, the
Only straight out governor elected on
a straightout democratic ticket since
1858.
The World gives these figures 70
show how much stronger than Mr..
Bryan and even than his party is MI
Johnson in that section Of the country.
And above all he stands sQuarely On
the platform of pure and unadulterat-
ed democratic principles. These two
qualifications should make him in the
eyes of true democrats the most eligi- !

MR. TAFT'S CANDIDACY.

Among Colonel R T. Bennett's S
many var anecdotes and remini-
SCIENCES was one of an occurrence in
Fort Delaware while he was pris-
oner there with several thousands
other captured confederate soldiers.
He says there was certain prisoner
there who every Sunday morning
would mount an empty goods box
and preach a sermon to such of the
prisoners as would collect to hear
him. On one occasion he gave out
his text from one of the epistles by
ST. Paul and began his discourse by
saying: And, my friends, in ex-
pressing those sentiments the divine
writer agrees with me" That anec-
dote was called to mind on reading
D what The News and Observers
washington correspondent gave yes
terday as Mr.. Roosevelt's opinion OF
Mr.. Taft's chances to secure the
nomination. He was quoted as say
ing that within che last month or
so the 1atter's strength had increas-
ed wonderfully. In that opinion the
president agrees with us. We got
ahead of him, however, for we made
the statement some days ago.
There can be no doubt that Mr..
Taft's chances are increasing daily,
and if the southern republicans who
declare his nomination would be al
most a certainty. The news CONES
from Washington, however, that the
republican leaders in the south pre-
fer to wait further developments,
especially Of the Taft-Foraker con-
test in Ohio, before declaring them
selves.
The Taft leaders want the south
ern republicans to hold early con-
yentions and declare for their man,
claiming that such action would
have good effect in Ohio and other
northern states. But the southern
leaders do not see it that way
Their plan is to reverse the order
Of things-to wait and see what Ohio
and other leading northern states
are going to do do before taking
action. They do not want to run
the risk of declaring for a losing can
didate.
Mr.. Roosevelt is so sure of Mr..
Tafts success that he does not hesi-
tate to declare that he will get six
hundred votes and the nomination
on the first ballot Secretary Loeb
endorses the presidents views and
gives the figures. He gives Mr.. Taft
two-thirds of the south and of New
England all of the far west and
such states as Ohio, Iowa and Mich
igan. The Messenger can't go quite
that far, but it believes Mr.. Taft is
today the strongest one of the can
didates and, unless some unforeseen
event occurs, that he will continue
to grow in strength and secure the
nomination
