When about two and half years

of them. I had two doctors treat her,

THE PRESIDENTS MISTAKE.

The following special from New
York was sent to North Carolina pa
pers last Friday night:
New York, Dec. 3.-President
Taft was bitterly assailed as "un-
qualified to speak on the negro prob
lem in the South" by Francis D.
Winston, former Lieutenant Govern
or Of North Carolina, who addressed
the annual meeting Of the North Car
Dina Society of New York at its ban
quet at the Hotel Astor tonight.
Mr.. Taft probably doesn't know as
much about the negro as Mr.. Win
ston, but, still, he is a little severe
on the President. Mr.. Taft had never
made a request to ride his district
in company with a negro, and was
| probably not as we'll up on the facts
as Mr.. Winston. The next time the
President should send for Mr.. Win
| aton and get some expert testimony
before delivering himself on the
subject.

STATE AUTHORITIES SHOULD IN.
VESTIGATE.

The State authorities should make
a prompt investigation of the alleged
brutal whipping Of deaf and dumb
child at Morganton asylum a few
days ago. A press dispatch from
Lincolnton says that the whipping is
admitted by the teachers at the asy-
ium. And it is alleged that two
women held the deaf and dumb child
by the arms while the principal whip
ped her with leather strap, and all
because the little one cried for some
money that had been left at the asy-
lum for her.
OF course, it is necessary to have
discipline at all schools, but such
brutal treatment as was given this
little girl should not go unnoticed by
the State authorities.

WHY THE MACHINE Is AGAINST
MOREHEAD AND GRANT.

We publish in another column a
Washington special under the head
ing "A Machine View" which may
throw some sidelights upon the po-
litical situation in this state This
special has already appeared in a
leading Democratic paper in the
state, and it is significant that the
Identical article later appears in the
Asheville Gazette News. one of the
Republican patronage machine Or
gans. Whether this article was first
inspired by the Republican machine
for publication in the Democratic
press or whether it was prepared
from the Democratic machine stand
point is not material, because it's pub
hcation later in the Asheville Ga
zette News as original matter would
indicate that it meets the entire ap-
prevail of the state Republican pa
tronage machine.
1t appears that the one great thorn
In the side Of the Adams patronage
machine Is the fact that Congress-
man Grant and Congressman More
head, by reason Of being in Washing
ton as Republican congressman, are
In the way of the plans of the ma
chine in distributing the large feder-
al offices. Nothing is clearer than that
the machine wishes Grant and More
head were back home and that their
districts were represented by Demo
Gratis. The evident desire Of the ma
chine to embarrass these able and
progressive congressman and to pre-
vent, If possible, their denomination
and reelection, of course, meets the
hearty view of the Democratic ma
chine press, and hence the great
harmony that exists between the Re-
publican machine and the Democratic
machine in disappearing and max
ing attacks upon these Republican
congressman.

DEAF AND DUMB CHILD BRU-
TALLY WHIPPED.
Was Whipped With Leather Strap
at the Morganton Asylum Because
the Child Cried for Her Thanks
giving Money-The Child Taken
Away From the School.

Lincolnton, Dec. Capt. c. E..
Child, attorney, of this place, return
ed yesterday from Morganton, where
he had gone to investigate the al
legged mistreatment at the State Deaf
and Dumb School of little lola Self,
the 9-year-old daughter of H. A..
Self. Mr.. Self states that it was not
denied to Mr.. Childs that the child
had been whipped with a leather
strap, and that the strap, seemingly
a piece Of harness leather about two
feet long, was shown to him. He
also states that it was admitted to
Mrs. H. A. Self, when she went to
Morganton Sunday to bring the child
home, that the child had been whip
ped with a strap.
1t Is alleged that one of the lady
teachers took away from the child,
probably to keep her from losing it,
money which the child's sisters, who
were there for Thanksgiving, had
given her before they left last Friday
morning. The child cried for the
money and that is presumably the
cause of the whipping. Mr.. Self al
leges that two women held the child
by the arms while the principal whip
ped her with the strap. Mr.. Self will
not send the child back to the school
though he has been asked by the
manager to do so.

Saturday stated that the Senators
and Representatives are anxious to
ascertain what President Taft will
recommend in the way of amendment
to the Sherman antitrust law. Well,

POLITICS IN NEW YORK.

A special from New York to Mon
days Baltimore Sun, says that Ex-
Judge Alton B. Parker has already
been picked as the next Democratic
candidate for Governor by some Of
the more influential members of the
Democratic League in that State.
However, his selection by these men
does not insure Parker's nomination,
but 1t does insure lively fight In the
Democratic ranks In that State. More
than half the members OF the League
have previously announced that they
favor Edward N. Shepard, the presi-
dent OF the League. 1t Is further
stated that "Fingy" Corners, their
State chairman, has been booming
Mayor Mcclellan as.the next nominee
for governor, and Corners hopes to
control the next State convention.
Not long ago the Democrats held a
harmony meeting at Albany with the
purpose of harmonizing the different
factions in that State, but recent de-
velopments show that the movement
was not successful. The friends of
Parker and Shepard would like to rid
their party of Corners, but Corners
has announced that he will fight for
reelection, and this means that in
stead of harmony the breach within
the party will grow even wider.
If the Democrats nominate Par
ker, the one time candidate for Pres
| ident, and If the Republicans force
Mr.. Roosevelt to take the nomina
zion on their ticket, the fight during
the campaign will be interesting In
deed. True, it would be rather one
sided, but it would be real interest
ing to watch Col. Roosevelt skin hi
opponent-as he did once before.

WHAT IS THE MATTER IN NORTH
CAROLINA d?

The Raleigh News & Observer, in
recent editorial, says:
Missouri Is now getting ready to
go after the telephone and telegraph
trust. Let Nebraska and Texas also
make it warm. These are the only
three States that seem to have any
vim in opposing trust extOrtions."
Here we have a most significant
admission. The News & Observer
says plainly that there are but three
Democratic states in the whole south
that seem to be honestly trying to
enforce the antitrust laws. In this
connection, it is pertinent to inquire
of the News & Observer as to what is
the matter in North Carolina?
For a number OF years the News &
Observer has been denouncing the
Republican party as party owned by
the trusts, stating that there never
could be any efficient antitrust laws
passed by Congress or any effective
enforcement Of the same until the
Republicans were put out and the
Democrats put in power. For several
pears the News & Observer has been
apolOgizing for the failures Of the
Democratic party to enforce the anti
trust laws in North Carolina on the
ground that the laws were ineffective
but the last Democratic Legislature
amended the antitrust law to sui
the Raleigh News & Observer. Thi
being so. we would like to inquire
what now is the trouble, that the eff
feCtive antitrust laws in the stat
are not enforced? Is the troubl
with Governor Kitchin? The New
& Observer ought to know and /
ought to tell.

System OF Trading on the Gotten
Exchanges Condemned By Conn
missioner Smith.

EXCHANGES SouuCI1ACo W
missioner Smith.
Washington. Dec. 5.-Both the
producers OF cotton and the dealers
in that commodity are the victimes OF
the system OF trading in vogue on
the cotton exchanges OF the country.
This Is the burden Of parts and 5
of the report of Commissioner OF Cor
porattons Herbert Knox Smith on the
conduct of such exchanges. The prac-
tice of dealing in futures, as 1t is car
ried on at present. Is condemned, al
though the report does not condemn
the existence of the exchange.
The brief discussion OF general
speculation in this report" says Mr..
Smith, recognizes the possibilities
for good inherent in a great central
market like a cotton exchange. and
the need that this good be developed
and evils eliminated by regulations
in line with economic law"
Dealings in Futures.
The report is especially condemna-
tory of the dealings in futures. brand
ing this form Of speculation as pure
gambling and highly Injurious to
legitimate trade. In quotations fol
| future deliveries of cotton, the
market is so uncertain and SO many
elements of chance enter into the
transaction that all bids are made at
a much lower figure than those offer,
ed for cotton actually in existence.
The effect of these fictitious quota
tions, the report points out, tends to
mislead the cotton planter as to the
true value of his crop, honestly
grown. In addition. it leads brokers
to play both sides of the marke'
to protect themselves against loss II
such trades, with the result that the
producer is forced to pay in the end
while the farmer loses likewise.
The report, while recognizing tina
the exchanges in New Orleans ant
New York are necessary, does no
mince words In criticising the New
York Exchange. After declaring tina
the New Orleans methods Of conduct
ing the transaction in cotton followeG
natural lines, the report draws atten
ton to the fact that it has beer
proven that the abnormal depression
in the future price in New Yor
were almost wholly due to imprope
artificial conditions now maintaine
by the New York cotton exchange
responsible for a very real injury t
the producer and merchant"
