HOPE FOR A BETTER DAY SOME
DAY.

Raleigh has recently gone through
a political turmoil that for bitterness
and Incorporation has hardly been
equalled by any other town in the
State. Corruption was charged, court
records destroyed, arrests were made
in fact, the campaign began at
white heat and kept getting hotter
until the primary election was held
Tuesday OF last week 1t was all
within the Democratic ranks, the Re-
publicans not being allowed to par
ticipate. They waged war on
Democratic good government" for
better Democratic good government,
Just how much they have bettered
the situation ii will take time to tell
The Union Republican viewing the
situation at a distance, makes the
following observations:
THAT Raleigh is waglng a bitter
war on its Democratic good govern
ment is very apparent Both the Ra-
leigh News and Observer and the Ra-
leigh Evening Times have bolted
from the Democratic municipal or
ganiZation and are giving their al
legiance to an independent move
ment. In State and nation, when a
Democrat becomes dissatisfied with
ha rS1y
emily, the News and Observer imme-
dlately proceeds to read him out of
the party, and now that Editor Dan
iels and his organ should become boil
tiers, it is naturally a great surprise
Possibly in an effort to keep State
and National Democracy in line, his
home element has gone astray and
the wolves have gotten into the fold
and scattered the flock 1t would
seem that if Raleigh, the capital OF
the State, the headquarters of the
Democratic party, the home of the
State organ and the place where
many of the Democratic State of
ficials, cannot give it's citizenship
good Democratic municipal govern
ment, but a government that is al
mitted to be a shame and disgrace
by the News and Observer itself, it is
certainly pitiable spectacle that the
capital city presents. In politics, like
religion, missionary work should be-
gin at home. If the fountain head
is impure, what can you expect of the
stream emfnating therefrom. 1t may
be asked what business has The Re
publican to NEEDLE in this affair?
The answer is simple. Every either
should feel an interest in his capital
city. The same applies to Washing
ton as the center of National gov
eminent. And again, that this boast
ed Democratic good government
about which we hear SO much, can il
very many instances be taken with E
grain of allowance
Don't be too hard on the capita
city in our time of affliction.

Whole Town Turned Out to Meet
Him and Extended a Vociferous
WclcOme-The ex-President Had
Narrow Escape From Drowning.

Gibraltar, April 2.-The liner
Hamburg, bearing the Roosevelt par
ty, arrived here this morning. Mr..
Roosevelt and his son, Kermit, with
others in the party, landed and Wis
tied the town. The entire town turn
ed out to welcome the ex-President

The American Consul was on hand

On the arrival Of Colonel Roose-
welt it was learned that he had a
narrow escape from possible drown
ing at Punta Delgado Island on Tues
day last. United States Consul Cree
Wy and Vice-Consul Nichols came to
the side of the steamship Hamburg
for Colonel Roosevelt in an open
boat. The sea was running high and
only three other passengers dared
make the trip to shore.
The open boats were put in tow
of launch and started for the dock
when a tremendous wave swept over
them and they almost sank. In spite
of the dangerous seas and the half.

onel Roosevelt stood up in the small
craft and waved his hat At the same
time the ships band played "The
Star-Spangled Banner
Just as the boat reached the gang
way it was caught by a terrific sea
and wave ten feet high swept over
it. Colonel Roosevelt went in the

Colonel Roosevelt laughed at the

The Busy Man.

The man with leisure never has
A moment he can spare;
He's busy putting off, until
His friends are in despair;
But he whose every waking hour
Is crowded full of work
Forgets the art of wasting time
He can not stop to shirk.
So when you want a favor done
And want it right away,
Go to the man who constantly
Works twenty hours a day:
He'll find a moment, sure. some
where.
That has no other use,
And fix you while the idle man
Is framing an excuse.

The republican papers have repeat
edly charged that the tendency of the
democratic laws and of the democrat
ic administration was toward cons
iiscation Of property invested in cor
porations. From the way in which
corporations are building railroads,
interurbans, packing plants, cement
factories, power plants, cotton mills
and all kinds Of manufacturing it is
evident that they enjoy having their
money confiscated
There is one thing that the demo
cratic administration insists upon and
that is that the corporations pay their
