Why Are Not all Guilty Alike?
Some Pertinent Questions.
Charlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer.
To return to the subject: If
the President really believes in
the high civic morality which he
breaches and sets before Foraker,
Haskell, Dupont and others, why
should it not apply equally to
Secretary Cortelyou and himself?
If it were such a sin in Senator
Foraker to accept fees from the
Standard Oil Company and thus
be tempted to betray public in
terests, what shall be said of the
former private secretary of the
President, the head of the
bureau of corporations, the
chairman of the national Repub-
lican committee, and Secretary
of the Treasury, who received
$I00, 00G of Standard Oil money
to corrupt the voters and who u.s.
ed it to elect the President, which
fact the latter himself does not
deny. Consider in this connec-
ton that the President and E. H.
Hartman were closeted together
prior to the election of 1904, and
that Cortelyou squeezed the great
insurance companies and used
the money of widows and orphans
in the campaign. 1t is claimed
on high authority that S., 600, 900
was pried out of the malefactors
of great wealth to elect the Presi-
dent, who now poses as a m Jral-
ist and is outraged by the mis-
deeds of his political and person
al enemies. If Standard Oil
money corrupted Foraker, did it
not, also, taint the conduct of
Cortelyou, and does it not COM
promise Mr.. Roosevelt's title to
the presidency? If Haskell and
, Dupont, accused of wrong-doing,
and both denyiug guilt and yet
untried, are expected to resigr
positions as party workers, ought
not the President, measured by
his own standard and precepts
to Immediately do these three
things: l. Demand the resigna
n ton of Cortelyou, whom he pro
o NOTED after his known financial
q political activity? 2. Cause tn
Republican national committee t
4 refund the money extorted i
= the last campaign to corrupt tn
r ballot? 3. Resign himself? ]
e he got Harriman's money unde
t false pretences,i. e., made a cor
d tract with the railroad magnat
a and did not live up to it, ougf
he not refund the Hartman col
tribution as well as the enforce
ID donation of the widows and 0
Ip phans?

Paid High For His Experience.

Charity and Children.
The papers are telling about
one Rev" John White, of
eastern North Carolina, a thrifty
farmer, who dreamed that the
Lord wanted him to go to Egypt
as a missionary. In spite of the
entreaty of his friends against
it, he sold his farm and took his
family to Egypt, expecting a
special revelation frorI the Lord
to teach him the language Of the
natives and provide for his daily
wants. After nine months in
the far country he has written
his friends for money to come
home to begin life over again.
He learned some sense, but the
price was high.

The coming election looks to
be quite a success, as far is
Boardman is concerned, and
much enthusiasm is being shown
by the voting population of the

compelled to vote at the county

Of the people. Persons voting
are requested to vote for Billy"
The Boardman graded school
is again in session. Sorry were
many faces filing thereto on the
opening day, after a pleasant
vacation among the green fields

after the ringing of the bell the
scholars were again hard al
work. The season is looked for
ward to with much pleasure and
the teachers hope to turn out
many apt pupils.

BY THEIR FRUITS.
So Should the Parties be Judged
Record of Republican Par

~.
Chatham Record
How can any good citizen, who
really desires good government
in the State, hesitate as to which
political party will give it? Both
parties have been fully and fairly
tested, and by their fruits they
are to be judged. We can only
judge the future by the past.
And what has been the past as to
the rule of the Republican party
in this State?
That party first obtained con-
troll of this State during the dark
days of Reconstruction in 1868.
And how did it obtain control?
By disfranchising 10000 of the
best white men in this State and
by enfranchising 100000 ignor-
ant negroes, just emancipated
from slavery!
Having obtained control of our
State government by disfranchis-
ing white men and enfranchising
negroes, the Republican party
mismanaged our State in so dis
graceful and corrupt a manner
that nobody-no Republican even
will dare to defend it. The on
Iy excuse Or attempt to palliate
that disgraceful mismanagement
of our State is that the Republi-
can party at that time could do
no better, but it has greatly i'm
proved since then. They said
this in 1896, and enough people
believed them to give them con-
troll of the State again.
And what was the result? The
Republican party did no better
after again obtaining control of
the State thau in 1868. It's dis
graceful acts and shameful mis-
management of our State under
! Russell's administration are so
recent and so we'll remembered
as not to need mention here. In
deed it was such that the good
white men of the State of all par
ties-Republicans and Populists
as we'll as Democrats arose in
their wrath and hurled the Re
publican party from power by
over fifty thousand majority.
Why then should the Republi.
can party again obtain control
and be allowed again to disgrace
= and mismanage our State? The
only argument (?) attempted t.
be given is that the Republican
party is more respectable now
than it was in 1868. But is that
true? Who is the head of thai
party now and chairman Of its
State executive committee? HI
is the same indentical person wht
t was elected a judge during Rus
r sells administration and was th'
! Republican leader and nominee
/ for Governor as Russell's success
= sor-Spencer B. Adams!
