OLD VETERANS GIVEN COLD
SHOULDER.

Ever since the Civil War the
Democratic politicians have Dragged
that they were the friend of the
Confederate soldier and that they al
ways had his welfare at heart. In
dependent thinkers have been of the
opinion all along that such talk, es-
pecially when it was not backed up
by good deeds, was only to get the
vote of the Confederate soldiers
Now that their ranks have thinned
to such an extent that their vote
does not amount to much numeri-
cally, the Democratic politicians
have come out in the open and
shown to the world that they have
no care for the old soldier or his
welfare. The Charlotte convention
never ask for anything at their
hands. They turned down every one
with but one exception, and that was
a case where they had spite against
the other candidates because they
supported the wrong man" fol
Governor. The Wilmington Star, {
Democratic paper, commenting or
the situation, says:
THE Confederate veteran got tn,
black eye at Charlotte, as he usual.
does when he comes in contact will
the North Carolina politician"
Commenting further on the sub
ject The Star again says:
THE Confederate veteran is toll
by his party that he is not fit to hol,
office, but he is expected to rally t.
the support of the younger Democ
racy' on election day or else b
classed as an enemy to his party an
to his State.''

NEW DEMOCRATIC MACHINE.

Our readers will remember that
on Saturday during the holding of
the Democratic State Convention in
Charlotte there was a bitter demon
stration against F. NJ Simmons when
his name was presented to the con-
Vention for a delegate-at-large to the
national convention, and he would
have been defeated had his name
not been withdrawn by one of his
friends. During Sunday the new
Kitchin machine decided they would
need every vote this fall that they
could muster, even including Sim
mons vote, so the ring leaders of
the new machine, who at their heart
hated him, decided it would be best
to send Simmons to the national
convention, but so tie his hands
with instructions that he could do
no harm. On the following Monday,
when Simmons name was again pre-
sented as a delegate-at-large there
were protests from some of the rank
and file who had not been instructed
just how they should vote. But
when it was whispered into their
ears just how the new machine
wanted them to vote, they no longer
had an opinion of their own, and, as
usual, walked up and voted like tin
soldiers as they were instructed tc
do. Now, we have this from Demo
cratic authority which we quote be-
low from the Lexington Dispatch:
GAS is known, the sensation of thu
convention at Charlotte was the row
that Saturday night or rather Sun
day morning, over naming Senate
Simmons delegate-at-large to tn
Bryan convention. Some of tn
Kitchin folks were against him be
cause he had been with Craig, blu
their leaders knew that the wors
thing that could happen to Kitchil
would be the defeat of Simmons as
delegate, and they passed the wor
along as best they could, for tn
confusion was great One Kitchi
man who has hated Simmons col
daily ever since the Carr-Simmon
campaign, astounded those VIII
knew this by getting on a chair an
bawling for the Senator as loud a
his lungs would let him, and the
were good lungs, too. Presently on
of this mans delegation came in an
the man on the chair yelled, al

In experience, the difference be-

murderers. We have a law on our
statute books which prescribes the
punishment which is to be melted out

certain crimes and we believe that
this law should be respected.
Ten killings in one year are several
too many for a county with no greater

NO TARIFF TINKERING.
Congress Will Not Appoint Commits
sion To Revise Schedules.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The present
congress will not appoint a tariff
commission. Revision of the tariff
will be undertaken next winter, in the
short term. These announcements, in
substance, were made today by
Chairman Payne Of the house COM
mittee on ways and means, in the
presence of. and with the tacit ap.
proval of Speaker Cannon, the oc.
casion being q call upon these leaders
by a tariff revision delegation from
various parts of the country, com.
prising representatives of many of the
biggest manufacturing and industrial
concerns in the United States and
headed by j. w. Van Cleave OF St.
Louis, president of the National As.
sociation of Manufacturers.
In his general answer to the state.
ments of the delegation, Mr.. Cannon
spoke In part as follows:
LET M suggest that, should the
house pass q tariff commission bill,
as you ask for, there is no certainty
of what the senate would do. Three
senator's can, by virtue of their right
to an unlimited occupancy of the floor,
hold up any measure for as long as
two years, without possibility of pre-.
vention.

mission would TURF itself into a de.
batting school, just as we do with our.
selves here in the house, and it would
likely present a majority and a mi.

Preacher Praises Roosevelt.

Dixon, pastor of Moody church, one
of the largest congregations in Chi

pared President Roosevelt to the
Prophet Isaiah crying the nasion's
sin, and declared that MIR. Roosevelt,
is the first Of all presidents to apply
uninterruptedly Christian principles
to everyday life and to the enforce
ment OF the law.
Al a prayer meeting in the Grea,
Northern theater, Rev. DR.. Dixon de
clared before an audience of l,O0(
people that President ROOSEVELT
message to congress is q of tn
greatest sermons ever written. Later
DR.. Dixon followed the reference tt
Isaiah by likening the president te
John the Baptist as the precursor o
a new and purer life for the nation
and the world.

ROOSEVELT'S POPULARITY.

President Roosevelt could retire to
private life today with the knowledge
that the American people through his
administration lived under govern
ment that was popular in fact as we'll
as in form. As a rule, and with scant
respect for party dogmas, the people
of this country are exceptionally we'll
satisfied with their government. This
is shown not only in the lack of we'll
defined lines of party fealty but in the
scarcity of and Indifference to new
party organizations.
There are hints to party leaders 10
this unusual condition of political at.
fairs. Col. Bryan has recognized its
significance, perhapsunconscioulsy, in
his efforts to make it appear that the
administration has earned some part
Of its hold upon public confidence by
its endeavors to put into practice what
he is pleased to claim as his theories
or policies. 1t is not presumable that
candid ates for the presidential Office
within the party which elected Roose.
welt will pretend that the party rather
than the president is entitled to the
greater credit for the c%ontented state
of the public mind. The fact that crit
icisms are directed against the presi.
dent instead Of the party is significant
of the truth, and this is more clearly
manifest If it ia considered from what
source most of these criticisms come.
Government is popular at the pres
ent time for the plain reason thai the
average citizen is convinced that gov
eminent powers under the direction
and administration Of President
Roosevelt have been exercised to
divorce government from the control
of men aud combinations engaged in
securing and utilizing special exemp-
tions from responsibility under the
law, for ends and methods in conflict
with the general welfare and some
times in defiance of the plain rules of
common honesty. Ia short, the peo-
pie like Roosevelt because they be-
lieve tina he is honest at u time when
it has been widely demonstrated that
rascality in public and business life OF
the nation is uncommonly common.
In the selection of his successor it
will not be easy to deceive the voters
regarding the character of either the
ate or his support. The com.
plete commercializing of influential
newspapers and their subsection to
the uses of special interests has served
its purpose in past campaigns to a
greater extent than it is likely 10 dc
again. Other periodicals have taker
the field abandoned Or fouled by tht
daily press in most of the large cities
and the gospel of honest as well a.
real popular government is being
more widely and effectively preached
and accepted than ever before in the
history of the country.-Bclfry News.
