A REMARKABLE MESSAGE

The Presidents special message to
Congress, delivered last Friday, has
been the talk of the country since that
time. The object and the tone of the
message is both offensive and defen-
sive. The President not only defends
his action and policy in the past, but
attacks in most scathing terms lot of
and corporations who
have been criticising him and his meth
DDS. AS one paper puts it the message
is IS One Of the most remarkable pro-
auctions of remarkable man during
a remarkable administration. The
reading of it in the lower house called
out most enthusiastic demonstration
from both sides, the Democratic men,
bers vieing with the Republicans in
mapifesting their approval. Some
friends of other candidates openly ac-
cused him of sending this message to
Congress at this time for the purpose
landing Taft for president. And the
friends of Taft look on and smile with
greatsatisfaction at theapparent effect
throughout the country.

KING CARLOS ASSASSlNATED

On Saturday King Carlos and the
Crown Prince of Portugal were assasi-
mated in the streets of the Capital by
a band of revolutionists who shot them
whilethey were driving in an open car
riage with the Queen. The country is
in state of great excitement. The
second son, who is butts boy, has been
declared the King and the chief minis

The dead King is represented as a
spendthrift and glutton who despoiled
the public treasury by using the funds
for his own pleasure. The end may
justify the means used in relieving the
country of such ruler.

THEY HAVE NO LEADER

"The apparent lack of organization
and enthusiasm in the work OF the OPP
position to Governor Cummins is one
of the things which encourages his
interested friends who are keeping in
close touch with the situation in detail.
They declare that nowhere in the state
is there any serious organization or
work on behalf of Senator Allison
while, on the other hand, the friends
of the governor are active and in the
field.
The statement above which we take
from the Register and Leader is cor
rect estimate of the campaign in Iowa
at the present time. That friends OF
the governor are active and in the
field is not only true now but has been
true every day in the year for the past
eight years. They sleep on their arms
and are ready for skirmish at the
first sign of alarm. The opposition
have no leader, no manager, no orga-
nization. Senator Allison who would
be the logical leader in this campaign
never was strong campaigner and is
now practically .debarred from such
leadership both by age and his duties
ut the Capitol where he is still the
great leader of the Senate. They had
been looking to Secretary Shaw as a
leader but instead of accepting the
position and organizing his followers
for contest that would lead to victory
he is reported as trying to compro-
mise with the enemy to secure the dele
CATION for president. The success OF
the governor heretofore has been the
result Of the loyalty and activity OF
his friends and the lack of leadership
and activity on the part OF the oppo-
sition.

Will Tell the Story.
Fairbrother's Everything.

+ alrDfOUnefS Everything.
Before this paper appears again the
prohibition election will have been pulled.
The question is not in any sense a moral
one, inasmuch as already ninety per cent.
of the State is dry, and we already have
law on the books that gives each COM
munity the right to vote on the question.
Local self-government is good doctrine.
and inasmuch as the State has adopted
local option ninety per cents worth we
do not see wherein the moralists have
any reason to complain if they are de-
feated. What is dry noW>remains dry.
However, it is by no means certain
that the drys will carry it. Good men
by the score are coming to the front
claiming that the election is ill-timed
and ill-advised and they say they are 60
ing to vote against the scheme.
There is not as much interest as there
would be, were the communities all to be
affected Take towns like Charlotte and
Greensboro and Asheville and Durham
election goes they still remain dry, and
naturally enough there is not the enthus-
iasm or the interest that would be mani
fest were the question to decide whether
or not they were to have saloons or re-
main dry.
This paper has not butted in offensive
~, it hopes. 1t had opportunity to sell
space to the one side, the whiskey side.
but it sold nothing, and expressed itself
honestly, which is to the effect that it
always believed that regulated saloons
in any community are infinitely better,
from a moral standpoint, than unregu-
lated blind tigers.
On this question which has been on
since 1S4Og good men disagree. We think
no less of a man because he cannot agree
with Us, and we regret that enthusiasts
on the other side refuse to admit that
good men differ with them.

WHOLE STATE INJURED.

That the whole State and its business
interests generally have been seriously
injured by unwise legislation, by the I'M
wise conduct of public affairs and by the
rabid and unjustifiable denupciation of
men and business enterprises in public
speech and a portion of the press, is to-
day undeniable
hope the time has passed when strong
men can be intimidated and swerxed
from the path OF duty by jeers, by ridicule
and by the cruel lash OF ambitious edi-
tors.
We have read in the last few years in
public print attacks upon every depart
ment of government. We have seen
members of the General Assembly covert
ly threatened with political ruin unless
they yielded to the demands of a news
paper whip. We have seen our courts
derided, the opinions of our court of last
resort criticised and attacked.
l believe that the safety of the State
depends upon the determination OF our
people to rely upon and uphold our ju-
dietary. 1t would seem to be that this
great North Carolina people, the purest
bloOded Anglo-Saxons now living, are
in a condition to hear the voice Of rea-
son and to turn their backs upon the
demagogue and the self-seeker.
| have made this letter much longer
than l intended at the outset and will
conclude by saying borrowing the
thought from another), that it would be
well for North Carolina to be temperate
and sober, but it is better that individ-
uals and communities in North Carolina
should enjoy freedom and the blessings
OF local self-government.
Yours very truly.

Now, suppose the people OF Surry, or

posed to the prohibition bill Are we to
be told by the prohibitionists of this
State, that. notwithstanding this ex-
preston of opinion, notwithstanding
this registered wish OF the people, that
any party in North Carolina in January,
1909, will dare to refuse them the right
to regulate their own affairs. in this
particular, on application? Suppose half
of the counties show by their votes that
they are not ia favor Of prohibition and
go before the next General Assembly
with this expression>of opinion and with
these expressed wishes presented, and
pray to have their rights restored to
them. will any political party dare to
say to them I'VE will not let you govern
yourselves in this particular but we will
let the other half of the counties not only
govern themselves hut govern you also?"
These are the conditions that confront
US in North Carolina under the proposed
prohibition bill

Invites Republican Success.
Fairbrother's Everything.

Fairbrother's Everything.
In the present fight on in North
Carolina it is now only a matter of
few years-less than four until dem
ocracy is again ousted. The republi-
can party has played wisely. The
prohibition measure has been the bear
trap that caught the Democratic
party. We say this and will offend
no prohibitionist, because no matter
which way the State goes on the pro-
hibition question, wet or dry, the
vote will be defeat for prohibition,
and therefore it means death to the
democratic party in North Carolina.
The record WILDE written and then
the work of carrying the State Repub-
lican, the radicals all one wayand the
wet Democrats the other, will be CON-
menced, and within four years the
State will have a Republican legisla-
ture and sweep.things entirely. Hand
writing that spells that is already on
the wall. If the politicians had let
we'll enough alone, let the State event
ually gone dry by each community
coming into camp nothing could have
beaten the Democratic party. But
they have gotten to fighting among
themselves; they are calling each 9th
er bad names; they are insisting that
some of them are thieves; they want
to destroy local, self-government-
they simply have gotten things
where they were on the eve of the
Populist invasion. The next time
the Republican party will wear no
masks. 1t will come in without pre-
tending to be Populist. 1t will travel
under it's own name, and when leg
islature is elected it will wipe out the
prohibition law; the Watts and other
oppressive laws, and then after
it cleanses itself, and repents of it's
folly, the old Democratic party will
again get into the saddle

eest Of Municipal Ownership to English
Wage Farmers.

Wage Farmers.
During the years 1901-0J the rate
Of wages paid In Great Britain declined
that period the workers were getting
$4,000 less a week than RI 1900. The
total LOGS in wages for the five years
compared with the wage scale Of 1900
was more than S1OO.OO0,OO0 The par
iiamentary report from which these fig
ures are taken records q reaction DUR
ing the first half Of last year. but the
increase is but bagatelie compared
with the enormous loss recorded above.
AS England is the country where gov
eminent and municipal ownership IL
most general. these figures show that
public ownership does not raise wages
In general, but raises the wages Of the
few at the expense of the many.
This tremendous reduction IN wages
Is due largely to increased taxation
caused by. the losses of the government
and municipal Industries. for higher
taxes mean higher rents and a general
increase In the cost OF production,
which must be Offset In some way IL
England Is to maintain her trade In the
face Of the worlds competition. The
easiest way to economize Ii to cut
wages. and so the wage Garner has
had to pay for municipal experiments
both in lower wages and higher rents.
When the wage Garner Is asked to
vote for municipal ownership he should
bear In mind that at the same time he
would vote for ALI that goes with it
higher living expenses and lower
wages, perhaps no wages at all Who
benefits? The politician who gets q
new popular issue. the politicians close
friends who are put on municipal jobs
and the large consumer who gets his
service for less than cost Where does
the wage Garner come in? He pays
the bills.
