made a grievous blunder in turn
ing down members of his own
party to make places for demo
Gratis, declaring that such a
course will weaken instead of
strengthen their party in the
State. They make the claim
that democrats will continue to
vote their party's ticket and re-
publicans will become uncon-
cerned.

At CHARLOTTE

President Taft received a gen.

visit to Charlotte on the TWEEN.
tieths and expressed himself in
very complimentary terms con-
corning the trip when he return
to Washington. A tremendous
crowd greeted Mr.. Taft in the
Queen City, and but for a
drenching rain, which seriously
interfered with the arrange
ments, the day would have been
a grand and glorious success in
every particular. The Presidents
utterances were along the line of
declarations concerning
his attitute toward the South and
pleased the attendant Tar Heels
immensely. He made no apology
for the appointment of a life
long democrat to the Federal
bench in this State, but boldly
declared it as his intention to Sc
lect men most competent to fill
the Office, regardless of their
affiliations. Referring
to the appointment of Judge
.onnor the President expressed
himself in the following
lnmistakable language:
""The Federal judiciary to my
mind is the strongest buIwark
we have in all this country to
protect our Institutions of civil
liberty. And there is no greater
1uty resting upon the Chief Exc
of this nation than that of
he appointment of a man to that
position who will strengthen it
all the people at large. The
federal judiciary should be as
much appreciated in the South as
the North, and if I have an
'pportunitysto make any further
Ippointments in the South it will
continue to be my duty to make
Iuch appointments as will appeal.

al or partisan argument or par

1t is needless to suggest that
Carolina republicans are
orely d~ispleased with the Presi-
lent's announced intention to
the best men for impor-
ant Offices in the South. They
cry we'll know that this means

To this utterance the Hustler
gives it's unequivocal endorse.
ment. The democratic party has
always adhered to the claim that
it is the party of the people and
it cannot afford to encourage the
existence of machines" rings,
or ringsters. Every democrat
in the State has the right to be
heard and the wishes of all
should be respected. They may
entertain divergent views upon
some questions of public policy,
but this fact affords no plausible
reason for personal differences
between fair-minded members
of the party. Those who are
democrats from principle should
dwell together in harmony and
let individuals whose sole pur-
pose in supporting the party is to
feather their own nests" Sc
verely alone. The 'ringster''
is usually a man who sets him
self up as dictator and falls
OUT with every other fellow
party-man who dares to oppose
his pet schemes" He puts
self above party and disregards
the interests of the public, when
the same come in contact with
personal advancement.
But the day of the machine
politician in North Carolina will
soon have passed into history and
the News and Observer has we'll
said that the people must rule"
And along with the State rings
let the factions of the various
counties go out of business. The
people Of every county should
get in the saddle and assert their
independence. The county
machine is no less obnoxious
than a state ring and should be
given the high bounce" where
ever it is found to exist. Would
be bosses who enter into ''collu-
sions'' for the purpose of feather
their own nests, at the ex-
pense of the whole people, ought
to be "dehorned'' and the sooner
they receive their deserts the
better it will be for the people
generally. The individual who
encourages factionalism is an
enemy to his party and one that
will bear watching. Yes, by all
of means ''let the people
rule" Neither old or new rings
should be tolerated.

ments of aspirants for congress
sional honors next year, that
paper endeavors to convict this
paper of inconsistency by ring
ing in an incident with which it
had nothing whatever to do.
The Suns memory is defective
in the conclusion that Bro. Ship
man, as Chairman of the Con-
gressiOnal District Committee
and editor of The Hustler then
as now, either Jointly or several
ly, or both, came out two years
ago, oh, how many months
ahead, in, a circular letter, which
all the papers in the district

candidacy for congress. What
change has come over Bro.
Shipman's dream?"
Neither the editor of the Hust-
Ter nor Chairman Shipman"

man sent out a letter on his own
personal account the latter part
IF November 1906, with the OBJ
lect of which every well-inform-
ed democrat. is thoroughly IA
miliar. Each letter was marked
personal and not a single copy
vas mailed to any newspaper.
So the Sun errs in the voluntary
suggestion that all papers of
he district were of course ex-
oected to copy" Publication of
he letter was made without Mr..
Shipman's knowledge or consent.

EVASIVE REPLY TO
STOCkHOLDER' SUIT
United Railroads Files Technical
Demurrer to Action to
Compel Accounting

A strictly technical demurrer was
fled by the United Railroads yesterday
to the complaint of Frank A. Sullivan,
a stock holder, seeking to compel the
corporation to sue Abe Ruef for the
100000 paid him for the corruption
of the board of supervisors. It is con-
tended that in naming Ruef the United
Railroads and the United Railroads in
vestment company as codefendants
there was a misjoinder of parties. 1t
is also asserted that several different
causes of action are set forth in Sui
livan's complaint. namely, an action to
recover money belonging to the United
Railroads and an action to recover
money belonging TO the United Rail-
roads investment company.
The complaint is alleged TO be I'M
certain, and it is stated that it can not
be ascertained that Sullivan's interest
in the matter is a substantial one. The
streetcar corporation also alleges that
1t can not ascertain from the complaint
what part Of the 100000 belongs to
it. that it can not ascertain that Sui
livan dema nded suit be brought against
Ruef, and that it can not ascertain that
the directors refused to bring suit
against Ruef

Building Contractor Fails in Suit
Against Magnin & Co.

Holding that the disaster of April IS.
1905, was an act of Cod releasing the
defendant company from the perfor-
nance of its contract, Judge Hunt yes
terday refused to grant the prayer of
Fred P. Fisher, building contractor,
for damages against l. Magnin & Co.,
in the sum of s1S,Sl4 for breach of con-
tract.
At the time of the big fire Fisher
had begun the erection of a building
at -ost street and Grant avenue for
the Magnin company, but the confagra-
ton destroyed a big party wall which
was to form part of the building.
Fisher was prepared to go ahead with
the CONTRACT after the fire, butt the Mag
min company notified him to stop. He
thereupon sued for damages.
The testimony showed that Fisher
was offered a bonus of $500 if he tore
down the old buildino on the lot prior
to April IL, 1906 As he did this and
had been paid only s975. Judge Hunt
