THAT Sanitarium."
Clinton News Dispatch. I

Clinton News Dispatch.
In our issue Of February 9th in
an editorial we took the Democrat
party to task about their extravs-
gance in spending the States money.
We charged in this editorial that
DR.. Brooks, Of Greensboro, had been
drawing 500 per month for ten or
eleven months as superintendent of
a sanitarium for the treatment of
tuberculosis, when there was not a
sign of a building started nor single
patient. We criticized the Demo-
cratic party for this waste of money.
Last Saturday we received a very
lengthy letter from DR.. ;. E Brooks,
OF Greensboro, in which he labored
hard in five pages (letter paper to
explain the why's and wherefores,
but not single time he deny that
our statement was true.

Wilmington Messenger.
This prohibition campaign ought
to be conducted fairly and without
any effort to deceive the people. No
person should attempt to create false
ideas Of what would be the results
if the bill to be voted on should
fail of ratification at the polls.
Nevertheless we see that some news
papers which are strongly urging the
voters in the rural districts to vote
for the bill are trying to create the
impression that a vote against
the measure is a vote to permit the
establishment of saloons and distil-
leries in the territory where they
are now prohibited.
That is not 80. No matter how
the vote in one county may be the
present status as to liquor traffic in
county will not be affected by the
result of that county's vote. 1t is 6
State election, and any all changes
will depend on the result of the cleo
tion in the whole State. Further
more, the result of the State cleo
tion can affect only that territory in
which prohibition does not now pre-
vail. Should the State 60 SWEET
there would be no change in present
conditions; there would be no sa-
looms or distilleries in the present
"dry" territory, for such result OF
the election would not wipe out pro
hibition where it now exists. A
man in prohibition territory who
votes for the bill simply and only
votes to establish prohibition in
those towns where it does now exist
A man in prohibition territory who
votes against the bill does not vote
to re-establish saloons or distillerieI
in his or any other prohibition ter
ritory, but simply to let conditions
remain as they now are in towns
and territory where prohibition does
or does not exist.
We write this in order to put thu
question at issue fairly and truth
fully before our readers. We wan
the people on both sides of the CUES
tion to understand for what they arr
voting.

Some of the democratic papers
seem surprised that President Roose-
velt treated Mr.. Simmons ciVilly
when he visited the White House
some days ago. If the President
was as narrow minded as some other
politicians we know, ne would not
give a cordial welcome to persons
who had opposed and misrepresented
him. But he is too big a man to
notice such small politics. Mr.
Roosevelt is real President.

We are in receipt of copy Of the
resolutions adopted at the Republican
primary held at Pine Level, John

are for uninstructed delegates to
State Convention
Whereas, it is the opinion of this
Convention assembl that we be-
lieve in the true principles Of Re-
publicanism, hence we condemn any
motion or resolution which might
tend to bear on or influence any
member Of the party against his
will.
End. That further, it has been a
custom to instruct delegates to abide
the dictates of instructions which
we believe is not in the true spirit
of freedom.

the great principles of equal rights
to all and special privileges to none,
that the true sentiment Of any as

first get at the wishes of those whom
we expect to support our actions.

stayed at home so far as their repre-
sentative power went, a precedent
which we condemn, and further ask
this Convention not to repeat.

Whitney Blames Bankruptcy on
Steel Trust Men.

PITTSBURG, Feb. 4-George I.
Whitney, answering the snit Of James
w. Shields, of Daytona, Fla, in the
United States District Court yesterday,
makes charges against 7. II. Gary,
chairman of the executive committee
of the United States Steel Corporation;
the II C. Frick Coke Company, the
Steel Corporation and the Union Trust
Company, of this city. He charges that
Gary, by dilatory tactics while he was
an appraiser to determine the value of
the Hostetter Connellsville Coke Com
pany, prevented him from making Il
deal for the sale of the company for
&c. 900, 900. He declares that by selling
his assets at forced sale the trust COM
pany and the corporations named
caused him a loss of 81, 200, 900 and
forced him into bankruptcy.
The answer came as a surprise after
the answers of the H. c. Prick Coke
Company, the Union Trust Company
and others, all of whom denied that
Shields's charges of conspiracy to ruin
Whitney are true. Whitney practically
admits all the charges made by Shields,
except tina he was in a conspiracy to
wreck the Hostetter Connellsville COM
pany,
