AN EASTERN VIEW.

In formally announcing that it viii,
support William j. Bryan for the
presidency, the Boston Traveller says:
Fol only eight years of the AZ
since the Civil war has the United
States been under the rule of the DEM
ocratic party. During the two admin
istrations of Grover Cleveland the is
sues formerly dominating national
campaigns We're eliminated, and the
discussion of economic questions sub
s5ituted. The republican practice CT
the distribution of public office spoils
vas ended; the wastefulness of re
publican administrations and the reck-
less disregard of national interests as
shown by our currency laws was en-
rhasized, and after a long and hard
fight the passage by congress OF laws
establishing the country on basis IF
honest money was accomplished.
IF this is what democracy in power
can accomplish, there is no basis in
fi>tory for the threat that the cleo
zion of the democratic candidate for
commerce and industry, other than the
selfish desire to perpetuate the repuo-
hcan party in power.
When a nation founded on the idea
o. government by parties permits one
party to hold the offices without any
fear of adequate opposition or defeae,
the door is left open for all kinds Of
abuses, especially those of extrava-
gance and attempt to increase the
power of the executive even to the
menace of the constitution. This is
what has happened during the past
IL years, because the republican party
did not fear the opposing party as be-
ing strong enough to call it to account
''On the highest grounds of patriot
ism, therefore, ii is the duty of all
those who believe in the principles Of
jefferson to get together to make the
democratic party a force in the nation
as they can honorably do this year.
Before the Denver convention The
Traveller expressed its conviction tina,
another candidate than William j
Bryan might be nominated who would
stand a better chance for success al
the polls, but as the overwhelming
choice of the national party he has
been selected as the leader and is en-
titled to support as such. His per-
sonal honesty has neither been ques-
toned nor his ability as leader
doubted.
In the development OF the CONNER
cial and industrial age in which We
live, certain abuses have been mani.
tested which, allowed to continue un-
restrained, would prove a menace &c
the liberty of the individual, which is
the basis of democracy. The growth
development and general well-being d
the nation are menaced not when such

or denatured alcohol and the use of
the product.
when the law was passed removing
the tax on denatured alcohol" said Mr.
Capers, in a newspaper interview, "the
hopes of the American farmers ran
high. Their expectations have not yet
been realized, however, for they over
looked the fact that there was no
use for distilleries on farms until the
market had been established. In the
second place they didn't know any
thing about operating such distiller-
les.

turers and see how methylatei alcohol

Illuminating. OF course, potatoes are
cheaper in Germany than with us, and
our people must be shown how to
make alcohol not only from potatoes
but from any cheap, starchy material"

"The Rivals"

Miss Rosa Rand, who gained great
Joseph Jefferson for her wonderfully
clever Interpretation Of the part Of
Mrs. Malaprop in 1.-THE Rivals, has
been engaged by Joseph and William
w. Jefferson to portray the same part
during their forthcoming tour in this
delightful old comedy. Miss Rand in
vests the part with all of the absurd
mannerisms intended by Richard
Brinsley Sheridan, the author Her act
ing as Mrs. Malaprop," is thoroughly
artistic and fully in keeping with the
renowned excellence Of a Jefferson
performance

now that formerly for the public to
learn what they purpose Brassey's
Annual for 1908 indicates, however,
that before long Japan will have added
two more battleships of the t Dread
nought type to the Satsuma and Aki,
already completed. Each Of these will
carry twelve 12inch guns. Work has
been begun on a cruiser like England's
Indomitable (Which mounts ten weap-
ors of the same size), and there seems
to be little doubt that second yes
sci of the same class will soon be un-
dertaken. Here, then, is a promise of
six fast warships, carrying altogether
sixty eight 12inch guns This will
closely respond to the armament of
the Michigan, South Carolina, Della
ware, North Dakota, Florida and Utah
when they are ready for service. In
addition, Japan will soon have two
vessels, called cruisers, but resembling
the best battleships of few years 60
They have guns of several sizes in
their primary batteries. Including these
two ships, Japan has ten Or a dozen,
each mounting four 12-inch breech-
leaders, and America his bout twenty
one fairly comparable with them.
The rumor which Germans claim to
have heard credits Japn with planning
nine new ships. four classed as battle
ships and five as cruisers. These would
probably mount a dozen 12-inch guns
each and make a great addition to the
strength of the nation owning them.
Without confederation, however, the
story should not be credited. Bras
sey's Annual remarks that Japan
has not published her program, and
under the circumstances a fine oppor-
tunity is afforded for speculation. Even
so. it may be possible for the authori-
ties in Washington to discover how
much truth there is in the German
story
Whatever may be the case in re-
gard to Japan, there can be little doubt
that Germany is making vigorous
effort to put her navy on a thoroughly
modern basis. 'Engineering,' an
English periodical, says that she has
launched two Dreadnoughts this year,
will put two more into the water be-
/ fore the close of 1908, and plans to lay
| the keels of six others, three in 1909,
and three year later Three cruisers
of the Indomitable class are in con-
temptation, including one on which
work has been begun All thirteen Of
these vessels, it seems probable. will
be designed to carry guns of only one
calibre-11 inches-and at least a
dozen each. In new construction Ger
many has not yet caught up with the
United States, but if she builds three
ships to Americas two it is only a.
question of time when she will OUT
rank this country.

Prominent Democrat Of Sampson

Newton Grove. N. c.. Aug. 81. 'ss.
Editor the News Dispatch, Clinton,
N. C.
Dear Sir:-I desire to make known
to the public through the columns
Of your paper that have severed my
connection with the Democratic par
ty and in the future l intend to at
hliate with the Republican party be-
cause believe the Republican party
is In favor of local self-government,
| and believe 1t to be the party OF
progress and the party Of accomplish.
ments. While the Democratic party
claims to be In favor of local self
government, their actions prove that
1t IL not. This was demonstrated in
our county by the appointment oil
four County Commissioners after
three OF them had been defeated by
majority Of the popular vote at the
polls.
The Board OF Education is also
appointed by the Legislature, which
think should be elected by the
people.
I believe Democratic of Republi
can form OF government is the best
form OF government that has evel
been devised for the government o.
mankind mean government III
which the peopie-the great common
people-are the rulers: and believ,
that the Republican party favors i.
government by the people.
For these reasons. and others
might give. ! bid goodbye to the so
tcalled Democratic party and cast m,
lot with the Republican party.
L Yeurs truly,
ARTHUR LEE.

WHO SAID "SIGGER"f

Considering the play the Demo-
Gratis have made for the negro vote
and what It must have cost them TO
do IL. 1t would be a pity II they
should miss it.-DuTham Herald
(Democratic).
But that is just why they should
miss It. When the Democratic poll
ticians could not land the negro vote.
they referred to them as undesirable
citizens, chicken thieves. and. on the
whole, as a kind of worthless race.
and because the majority of them
voted the Republican ticket. that
party was called the negro party. and
some extreme partisans were heard
to say that any one who would vote
the Republican ticket was mo bet
ter than a negro"
Presto, change
Since the negro regiment shot
up" Brownsville, Texas. a Southern
town, and the troops were discharged
for their behavior. the Democratic
leaders in the North have told the
negroes they had not been treated
fairly and that the Democratic party
would treat them better; that they
had not had their share OF the Of
fees; that the Democratic party
would treat them better and that
they cannot afford to vote Republic
can ticket and therefore they had
better vote the Democratic ticket this
year.
BY the use of fried chicken and
rehashed promises the Democrat
have secured the services Of some o
the negroes to help pull for thei
party this fall, and Marse Henri,
Watterson has been busy In New
York sending out literature writer
by negroes trying to capture the ne
gro vote. The Republican party ha
always treated the negro fair, the
have never stopped over on the sub
ject, as some Of the Democratic lead
ers in the North are now doing, blu
they have always given him a squar
deal. The regiment that shot u
Brownsville were discharged-no
because they were negroes, but be
cause they had violated the la,
which they were sworn to uphold
A white regiment would have bee
discharged just as quick. The Dem
ocratic leaders know that the Pres
dent did right but they thought the
saw a chance to win some votes b
telling the negroes they had bee
mistreated and that the Democrat
party would treat them better. c
course the Democratic party is onl
making play for the negro vo,
without caring what becomes of hi,
afterwards-but we can't refrai
from asking, who belongs to nh
negro party now?
