LEAGUE SOUNDS WARNING,
State Direct Primary League Wants
Its Friends Elected to the Next
Iauic ofl,ra

Legislature.
Under the caption, Guard Wei
the Direct Primary Law" the Direc,
Primary League of the state of Wash
ington has issued the following cir.
cular:
I'VE again feel it our duty to SCUM
note of warning. There is a wei
organized effort being made through.
out this state to elect men to GU,
legislature who can be prevailed on
to either repeal the direct primar,
law or to so amend it as to destro,
its usefulness. This is the first tria1
of the direct primary law throughou,
this state, and it is not likely tc
work so satisfactorily to every one
as when it is better understood and
more fully appreciated. These peo-
pie who for selfish ends desire its
repeal will stir up discomfort as
much as possible all along the lire
The political bosses, boodlers and
ward heelers have always been, and
still are, against the direct primary
law. Whereas they may be able now
in some instances to get their men in
office, at the same time it is more diff
ficult for them to work than it was
under the old system of caucuses
primaries and conventions, where the
ring could easily rule and the peo-
pie had little to say.
The fight is still on for us to re-
tain the direct primary law. All can
didates for gubernatorial and legis-
lative Offices should be pledged TO
support the direct primary law. No
one, under any circumstances, should
be nominated or elected to the above
Offices who has broken his pledge to
vote for the direct primary law, or
who will not be certain of keeping
his pledge. Do not let us ever allow
an oligarchy of political bosses to
ever again control our political af-
fairs. To do so would be to admit
that the people are incapable of wise
ly using their political rights and
that popular government is a failure
Let us place only good and true men
on guard.
1.-The direct primary law should
be amended in few sections, but
let it be done by the friends of the
law and of the people, and not by
it's enemies. Let us take no chances
of getting any one elected either as
governor or to the legislative Of
fices who will in any way try to
thwart the will of the people.
Remember the words of Lincoln
Government Of the people, by the
people and for the people shall not
perish from the earth -

formed the basis for the $4,000 mort
gage given Abel later, the mortgage
being dated Jan. 5, 1907. Now note,
that month later, Mrs. Stevens was
declared incompetent by Judge r.
win, and guardian appointed. This
guardian has not been able to find a
dollar of money to show for her prop
erty. AS her attorney tersely put it:
SHE RECEIVED NOTHING. HER
ATTORNEY AND CUSTODIAN ABB
SORBED MUCH. IS AN EQUITY
COURT HELPLESS IN THE FACE
OF SUCH 1NIQUITY? There was
apparently no opposition to having
her mental condition shown after the
robbery.
With remembrance of those facts,
one has not far to seek the reason
for Abel's desire to remove Judge r.
win from the trial of the case involv-
ing the incOmpetency of the widow at
the date of making the deeds to her
property. Judge Irwin was fully ac-
quainted with all the facts stated by
Attorney Hutcheson, and had a gen.
eral knowledge of how affairs were
going on in the Stevens family
through having had the matter in
his court for five years, and Attor-
ney Abel did not want him on the
case, while the attorney for the Wild
ow did, and, as usual in this court,
Abel's wishes ruled. Having had the
woman isolated for years, Abel knew
it would be difficult to produce such
testimony as a Judge wholly unac-
quainted with the peculiar facts in
this case would feel justified in set
ting aside deeds to realty Who could
testify to the condition of a person
they were not allowed to see? Judge
Irwin knew that some months prior
to the execution of the deeds, ply
sician testified that Mrs. Stevens was
not competent to transact business,
Judge Linn did not. Under those cir
cumstances it is not surprising that
Judge Linn decided that, while the
evidence shows plaintiff to be at
present incompetent in the opinion
of the court it is not sufficient to
show that at the time of the exc
cution of the deed complained of she
was incapable of transacting busi-
ness for herself"
When viewed in this highland
we submit that the results justify no
other conclusion-this action con-
firms instead of disproving the
charge of favoritism, and the first
problem of the first "vindication
is solved.
The second, why did Judge Irwin
grant this motion over the strenu-
ops protest of Attorney Hutcheson? {?
Members of the bar say it was
through force of habit, Abel's mo-

Republicans and Abuse.
Charlotte Chronicle.

Charlotte Chronicle.
I'm his speech in Greensboro, Mr..
Augustus Price took occasion to say
that the people would not stand for
wholesale abuse Of Republican lead
prs and would rebuke the Democrats
for it, in November. WherenpOn,
the Salisbury Evening Post takes
Mr.. Price in hand. 1t reminds him
that while Democratic press and
speakers have expressed the highest
regard for the private character OF
J. EIWood Cox, it was the Industrial
News, the official organ OF the Re-
publican party in this State, that
questioned Mr.. CoX's veracity; that
it was Marion Butler who charged
Judge Adams, chairman of the State
Republican committee, with cOrrup-
ton: that Adams declared Butler
lied and called him an enemy OF the
State, and that no less a per-
son than Judge Taft gave the Repub-
leans of North Carolina much
needed dressing down.
Mr.. Price evidently did not know
it was loaded. The Democratic
abuse OF Republicans i'll this State
amounts TO praise, when compared
to Republican abuse of Republicans.

Flying Machine Wrecked---One

Washington Dispatch, 18th

Washington Dispatch, 18th
After having drawn the attention
of the world to his aeroplane flights
at Fort Meyer, and having establish
ed new world records Cor the heavier
tham-air flying machines, Orville
Wright today met with Il tragical
mishap while making a two-man
flight. The aeroplanist was accom-
panied by Lieutenant Thomas +.
Selfridge, of the signal corps of the
army.
Lieutenant Selfridge was fatally in
jured and died at $40 o'clock to-
night. Mr.. Wright was seriously in,
jured, but is expected to recover.
While the machine was encircling
the drill grounds Il propeller blade
snapped off and hitting some
part of the intricate mechanism,
caused it to overturn in the air and
fall to the ground, enveloping the
two occupants i'll the debris.
Soldiers and spectators ran across
the field to where the aeroplane had
fallen and assisted in lifting Mr..
Wright and Lieutenant Selfridge from
under the tangledmass ofmachinery,
rods, wires and shreds of muslin. Mr..
Wright was conscious and said: "Oh
hurry and lift the motor Lieuten-
ant Selfridge was unconscious and
had apparently struck the ground
with great force His head was Gov
cred with blood and he was choking,
when the soldiers extricated him from
under the machine.

Though notunexpected, the death OF
the Hon. Samuel l.. Patterson, Com
missioner of Agriculture, will be de-
plored in every part of North Caro-

tleman-cOurteous, considerable, sim
ccre, honest and upright. In private
life he was the best type OF the North
Carolina farmer and his mountain
home was the centre OF happiness
and genuine hospitality. He was a
true Christian, adding to the refine

Better Look Out For the Legislative
Ticket.


Fairbrot hers Everything.
The Republican State platform i'll
sists that local self-government is
the thing-and this being literally
translated means that the Republi-
can party, without saying SO, favors
local option in the matter OF the
whiskey traffic. Mr.. Cox is an I'M
compromising prOhibitionist-and
therefore the ticket will not appeal
to the vets as strong y as it would
have appealed to them had the head
of the ticket been in favor OF regula-
ting the evil of whiskey.
But the question is, will not the
Republican orators take that little
plank in the platform and use it to
advantage where there are wet vo-
ters? We think SO, and therein lies
the danger of electing a Republican
Legislature-and if this is done then
goodbye to the many dreams OF
Democracy.
We want to see Senator Overman
sent back-would rather see him re-
turned than any other man we know
anything about, and therefore those
who are shouting about what kitcE-
Ell can do had better look well to
their fences and see to it that the
Legislative ticket is all right in some
of the counties

Negroes Want Social Equality.
Savannah News

+
The negroes OF Alton, ILL.,, do not
want public schools for their children
that are just as good as the schools
that are provided for the white chill
dr-n. What they desire and demand
is the right of their children to attend
the white schools. Apparently they
care less for educational advantages
than they do for the privilege OF
their children to rub elbows with
white children. The city of Alton has
provided two excellent schools for
negro childrden, but black mothers
have besieged the white schools dur
ing the past few days for admission
for their children. The demand is
not so much for school facilities as
for a mixing of the races. Illinois
seems to be having hard time with
her race problem.
