GRANT AND THE ENTERPRISE

This is from the Western North
Carolina Enterprise, published
in Waynesville, and has refer
ence to the supposed attempt of
Mr.. Richmond Pearson to GUST
John Gillespie Grant from the
Office of congressman:
IF Mr.. Grant should abase his
high office by playing politics to
the injury of the principles to
which we adhere, we would be
quick to express our disapproval.
We hope our readers will take us
literally in this announcement OF
faith. We will stand on it. You
will find us on this platform even
though we stand alone"
This sounds very patriotic.

Grant for the disreputable tactic:

If Grant did not ''abase his

President Taft's tour of the
country has fallen rather flat.
But for the fact that many peO-
pie want to get a glimpse of the
President of the United States,
once in awhile, there would be
nothing to" this trip at all, in
the way of enthusiasm. The
papers are publishing very little
about it and the "wholeIshow''
appears to be a dismal failure.

Judge Ewart claimed in his
recent effusion, anent the Pear
son-Grant controversy, that Mr..
Grant had been busily engaged
looking after the interests OF his
constituents. Yes, and a good
portion of this time was spent in
devising an unsavory method of
turning one of them, a defense

for the Judge to come across
with a defense1D of his beloved
representative for the rather re-

no charges of misconduct could
be made-from a position, to
which she was justly entitled, to
