less charges which were made by Mr..

Indirectly certain naval officers aud

the charges aseribed all sorts of
corruption and crookedneAs to oD.
of the two firms engaged in nubmA-
rine construction Ia this country. II
now appears that all OF this "Hs
founded upon baselcss TumoT and
was worked up By such vicious means
as the employment of anonymous let
ters and the disc mination of lcti-
tious statistics. The attempt To
make the submarine legislation OF
this country congressional scandal
was remarkable for the crude AFRO
gance of its authors. who have sought
TO demolish a rival in their particular
field of business activity. 1t vas the
kind of secret warfare which spared
no one in its implication and required
defensive attitude on the parS of
some people who should not have
been placed in such a position. Mr..
Lilley appears to have been as much
victim of the wiies of these anony-
nous letter writer's as was the prin-
cipal object of his resolution of inves-
tigation. The proceedings failed with
the disclosure of a plot which evi-
IDENTIFY proposed to stop at nothing
in the smirching Of character so long
as the ruin of rivals in business was
accomplished.
Representative Lilley will be saved
from the serious consequences which
his indiscretion suggests because he
| is entitled TO the suspicion that he
was not knowingly a party TO this
conspiracy; but congressional sympa-
thy with his present embarrassment
will be Iessened by the knowledge
possessed by his associates in the
House of Representatives that he has
been one of those "reformers" who
almost habitually indulge In loose
and indiscreet talk.
| Another side to this whole squalid
sensation is that furnished BY the
annoyance and expense 10 which
many people. including the govern
ment, have been subjected by this

So that, the man who Is a Repub-
lican from principle. and not for the
office" finds himself bounded down
on the one hand by the Democrats,
and hectored. badgered and read
out" of the party by the holders
on the other?
Thus, the Republican, because he
believes in the fundamental and
everlasting principles of that party,
finds himself between two fires, and
it is they who have become tired of
such persecution by both Democrats
and office-holding Republicans. that
he takes himself to "the woods" po-
litically speaking. and these are the
ones, who want a growing successful
party of voters. not office-holders,
that it will be difficult to get out to
the polls, or conventions when called
by and for the office-holders only.
Truly it takes a hero to be a Re-
publican in North Carolina, in these
days of Democratic hatred. and Of
fice-holders' selfishness, prejudice
and venality!
If anything more was needed to
prove it, the performances of the
late Republican Convention in
Greensboro (April 30th) clearly
show that the office holders do not
want a Republican party in North
Carolina, a live, militant, growing
party. is the very last thing they
want! When We see such men as
Ex-senator Butler, Judge Bynum. Mr..
Settle, J. F. Newell, and others, re-
fused recognition because, forsooth,
they did not agree with the narrow
views of the office-holders, and these
gentlemen virtually driven out, does
any one doubt that the party has
dwindled down to mere Office-hold-
ing few, who want no one in it, but
themselves? When we see one man
holding by virtue of the deputy rev.
enue collectors of the East the places
of State and National committeeman,
receiver (s15,000 per year, and now
delegate to the National Conven-
ton, is it any wonder that decent
men are disguised, and stay away
from the conventions and will not
even lose the few moments time to
go to the polls? But, such is the
office-holders' party of North Caro-
lina..!

The Democratic papers say that
the negroes of Sampson held a con-
gention of their own when the Re
publican convention was held in that
county. The Republicans of that
county say they know nothing of it,
and that no such convention was
held; that the only negroes in evil
dence in town that day who were
politically inclined were those who
voted the Democratic ticket. An
other case of misrepresentation and

"a TRAITOR"
REPUBLICAN.
Clinton News-Dispatch.


The Republicans of Sampson Coun-
ty will, no doubt, be surprised to
know that they sent a delegate to
the State and Congressional Conven-
tion who tried to break an instructed
delegation from this county and tried
to cast his vote against the wishes
of those who sent him, but Senator
Butler whipped him out and the
chairman ruled that Sampson Coun-
ty should cast her 18 votes as she
had been instructed. So this new
conner from the sand hills of Moore
County could not deliver the goods
as he no doubt had promised the Ex-
Judge, the consideration being the
little three dollar postoffice at Mints,
but so determined was he to carry
out his hefiish design that he fol-
lowed his big boss on to New Bern
where he was aided by the chairman
ruling in his favor against the wishes
and instructions of two thousand Re
publican voters of Sampson County
and over the protest of all the other
delegates present. Senator Butler
characterized him as a traitor, q
black sheep and a political skunl
and asked all good Republicans ot
Sampson County to never trust hin
again. This is the first time tha
Sampson County was ever betrayed
by a delegate in any convention, and
we hope it will be the last, for W.
don't believe the good people of Nc
Daniels Township will ever ALLOW
this political degenerate to misrepre

We have received letters for publi-

against State prohibition. None OF
these letters have been published. AS
a rule we are very glad to receive
communications on timely topics, but
if we had opened our columns to all
comers on this subject we would not
have space to print any other news
and however we might feel in the
matter, we would not print an arti-
Gle from one and then deny another
a hearing on the subject. We take
it for granted that every subscriber

why Not Keep it Up"

We understand that the people
are a little busy just now; some Of
them are out fighting for prohibi-
ton; some of them are out fighting
against prohibition; some are try
ing to work the rabbit foot on the
Taft boom; some are insisting that
Yon Yonson should be the Denver
nominee; some are whooping up Cul-
berson's boomlet, and milady is in
terested in the Merry Widow hat,
while my male friend is more inter
ested in the Merry Widow, but all
the same it looks like this Mars bus
mess is being neglected.
1t wasn't long ago, a half dozen
years or SO, and every mothers son,
scientific and unscientific, was out
looking upwards and trying to deter
mine whether or not the Maritans
were asking us up to have something
with them; philosophers were insist
ing that we could signal Mars IL he
had the apparatus, and there were
all kinds of stories being written on
the subject. But these days we get
no tidings from Mars or from the
professors concerning Mars. We
know the Taft Boom is big thing
IL we know that Bryan has
some divine ratios of one kind and
another, and We know that Yon Yon-
son once upon q time carried the
washing that his mother dtd-but
even that should not dim the glory
of the heavenly bodies and put Mari
to the bad.
II Mars is inhabited why isn't 1t oi
just as much interest today as it wal
dozen years ago; why should al
impulsive people go wild over a the
ory that Is so soon discarded eveI
before it is proven false?
Just as soon as Professor J. AlIeI
Holt finds that he is out of the race
and just as soon as the prohibition
lquestion is decided one way or an
Iother, We take it that it would be II
Iorder to again take up the Mar
proposition. IL Mars is Inhabited w
to know it; we should know IT. i
lit isn't inhabited and there are n
bar rooms there we should be ad
vised. What we want are the fact
in the case We want information

tainly we shall proceed in another.

Durham's Liquor Business for the
Past Quarter.


A special from Durham to Sun
days Charlotte Observer says:
Sergeant Aldridge, of the police
force, finds that during the past three
if it is held, for the reason that the
months a total of 3,047 whiskey pre-
scriptions were given by the doctors
of Durham and filled by the three
drug stores that are licensed to do
this kind of business. This shows
that during the last quarter the num-
Der for booze increased 1,033 over
the preceding quarter. There are
those who insisted that the list OF
physicians and the number of pre-
scriptions given by each be published
This request was made of the board
of aldermen and the board simply
passed a rule that the list be record
ed as a part of the minutes of the
board and in this way to be open tt
the public and any one who cares tt
pay the bill can publish the list IL
one or as many papers as is desired
In the list now made public one doc
tor is shown to have given 971 pre-
scriptions for whiskey during tn
time that is covered by the las
check-up In the future the list vii
be published regularly.
