Nevada's Wild Horses.

The ranges set apart by the Gov
eminent in Nevada are overrun by
droves of wild horses, which in the
aggregate are said to amount to s.
900 at least" said D. c. Carson,
who has just returned from that
State "At one time there was a
law in Nevada permitting the shoot
ing Of these wild horses in order
to get rid of them. The hides were
sold and the hunters made good
living out of it.
But, as is usually the case, there
were hunters who continually made
mistakes when out cunning. Many
a domestic horse fell a victim to
the hunters rifles. This finally be-
came so much of a loss to the
ranchers and others that the law
was repealed. Since that time the
droves have grown and are exceed
ingly troublesome. The forestry
men are ordered to shoot these
horses whenever they come on them,
but they are SO busy with other and
more necessary work that little i'm
press is made on the droves by that
means. Meanwhile, the horses are
increasing and the question Of how
to wipe them out Is becoming a
serious one for all concerned."-

BUTLER AT BEssEMER CITY.
Made Fine Speech to Large Audience
Man Should be O Patriot Before
He is q Partisan.

Bessemer City. n. c.. Oct. 81,
Hon. Marion Butler spoke last
night to the largest and most en-
thusiastic audience of any speaker
of either party during the campaign.
He was very gracefully introduced
by Mr.. John J. George, precinct
chairman and president Of the Bes-
|semer City Republican Club. Among
other things Mr.. George said: 1--WE
want every person present tonight
TO feel perfectly welcome to any OF
the exercises of our club. We are or
ganized to foster and promulgate the
great principles and policies OF the
great Republican party. and to teach
party that has done so much for us
and our common country-we want
you to feel especially complimented
tonight because we have with us 4
native born and bred North Caro-
| linian, one brought up from among
the huckleberry patches of Sampson
County-one who has never forgot
ten his common origin and the COM
mon people who have honored him.
He has often been called the Father
of Free Rural Delivery He intro
duced a bill in Congress to pension
the old Confederate soldiers, and
believe the bill should have passed,
regardles of the opinions Of the Dem
ocrats in Congress who voted against
lit. He is sought alike by all sec
tons OF the United States as a polit-
ical speaker, and has more dates for
speakings than he can fill. We are
proud of him-the greatest living
North Carolinian. The other day an
old man in the audience said: He
is good enough and smart enough ia
be President Turning to Mr.. But
Ter he said: MIR. Butler, you are
welcome to this town and to this
Club and We feel especially compli-
mented to have you with u.s.
Mr.. Butler spoke for over two
hours. He was frequently inter
rupted by the greatest applause ever
given by an audience here. His ap-
peals for Mr.. Taft were fine and
brought forth repeated cheering. His
humorous references to Bryan
Question: 'Shall the people ruler"
were especially enjoyed. why does
Mr. Bryan not come down to Samp-
son County and say: Shall the peo-
Iple rule?' Do we rule there?"
His discussion of the fact that d
man should be patriot and good
citizen before being Democrat or a
partisan was good. His speech was
good throughout, made votes, and
made the party stronger. We expect
to see Butler come to the front agar
soon and we think his treatment by
the machine politicians of our party
unfair and unreasonable. This State
will rid itself of machine campaigns
some of these days, and when we get
an organization that reaches the peO
pie and appeals to the people-theI

DEMOCRATIC TRICK FAILED.

Only a few days before the cleo
ton Mr. John ID. Rockefeller came
out In a statement declaring for Mr.
Taft for President. Many wondered
why Mr.. Rockefeller should icclare
for Taft when the Republican admin
istration had heen prosecuting the
Standard Oil Company. of which Mr.
Rockefeller is at TIE head. But that
Is just why he did declare for Mr..
Taft. The Standard Oil Company
was in bad reDute with the voters,
and 1. was a Democratic trick to get
Mr.. Rockefeller to declare for Mr..
Taft, thinking it would seriously af-
feet his chances OF election. Mr..
Bryan and Chairman Mack at once
bounced upon Mr.. Taft and said he
was a friend of the Standard Oil
Trust, and that he should not be
elected But the majority of the vot-
ers got on TO the game and the trick,
didn't they? IL any Standard Oil
money was used in the campaign ii
was not by the Republicans. Why

cratic campaign fund when 1t was

should be critical rather than
constructive. Our constitution !,
provides for three distinct func-
lions of Governmental gisla-
tive, judicial and executive; and
it is the duty of what is cor
rectly called, in England, the |
fourth estate of the realm, to |
provide the fourth necessity,
healthy criticism for all three.
1t follows that a newspaper
may criticise a. verdict or de-
cision of the courts, but must
not NEEDLE with the propergan and
lawful handling &of a case on
trial. In the same way, the
newspaper should Watch where
corrupt legislation can be de-
feated, in order to drag it out
into that dry light where the
air is always too strong for it's
lungs. The legislators must do
the rest, and lit is the business
of the newspaper to hold them
to their duty.
In likesSklanner, the fullest
publicity is one of the most val
liable checks upon the acts of
an executive officer. We know
that the balance was most deli
cately adjusted by the trainers
of the constitution, and in this
department. there is a continual
tendency to usurp the functions
of the other. two. Nothing could
be better for political morals

PINCHOT PLEADS FOR TREES.
Forester ExpIains Actien of Woods
to House Committee.

Argument was yesterday made before
the House Committee on Judiciary in
support of the constitutionality of the
bill providing for the creation of forest
reserve on the Appalachian and White
Mountain ranges for the preservation of
the navigable streams Of the Eastern
part Of the United States.
Clifford Pinchot. chief forester of the
United States, illustrated with a glass of
water and a piece OF blOtting paper the
effect of forests in controlling the flow of
rivers. Forests, he said act like blotting
paper and absorb the rainfall, making
the supply of the streams slow and
steady. Forests also. he declared, in
crease the rainfall by about 10 per cent.
The argument was that, as the Federal
government had control of Interstate
commerce, it had the right to take such
action as would keep the streams naviga-
bic and, therefore. preserve the rivers so
they should be navigable. No action was
taken.
