There was bright spot Of color on

She was on her feet in breath,

THEY WON'T STICK.

The Democrats have got to get on
some kind Of a platform and stay
there Indefinitely. or they will never
get to be thoroughly organized and
victorious party again, says the
Greensboro Telegram. II they would
get on the right kind Of platform
and stay there they would doubtless
win after awhile. But II that Is the
only chance for them to win. then
their chance OF victory Ia indeed
slim. The Democrats change their
platforms every four years and then
several times between campaigns.
Only a few days ago a Democratic
league was formed in New York and
a new platform framed. A few days
later Bryan was heard from in Texas
where he had discovered still an
other platform. That's two platforms
in two weeks. It will therefore be
observed that the prospects of stick
ing to any one Democratic platform
is not very bright.

WHY DID THE ALDERMEN
BUY TIP

We note from a newspaper report
that the Board OF Aldermen, Of Lin
colnton, n. c.. at a meeting some
weeks ago increased the license on
near beer. stands from 500 to
$3.50. which caused the dealers in
the near-intoxicant to go out of BUSH
ness, and that the members OF the
Board OF Aldermen purchased the
supply OF near beer" from the
former dealers.
The license was probably raised
for the purpose of driving the deal

IL the stuff was too bad to be sold

SOME TARIFF TALK.

II the Democratic politicians would
promise to reduce taxes 1t would ia
terest the voters more than the Dem
ocratic harangus over the tariff
The Raleigh Caucasian.
But 1t must be remembered that
In haranguing over the tariff the Dem
ocrats are asking for a reduction OF
tariff rates and that means reducing
the indirect taxes-the heaviest taxes
the people pay.-Greensboro Tele-
gram.
1t seems that we can't get our
Democratic friends straight on the
tariff question.
However, we believe that it will
take only a few words to answer the
above excuse set forth by the Tele-
gram. We suppose that the average
farmer pays about SIS State and
County tax each year, and II the
Telegram will show US, or show any
one else. that the same farmer pays
that much direct or indirect tax or
account OF the tariff we will agree tt
call of the dogs and give up th'
chase.
One OF the most prosperous farm
srs In Wake County was in our offlo'
only few days ago and remarked t.
the writer that he could not under
stand why some papers continued t
talk so much about the tariff, as
did not interest the farmers, but tina

DO THEY ALWAYS INVESTIGATE?

The Greensboro Record says:
when anything resembling
wrong-doing Is discovered In the
Democratic party in this county
1t Is investigated.
That may be the case in Guilford
County, but it isn't true in other
places in the State-at least IL they
investigate the wrong-doings it is
usually so bad that they keep 1t to
themselves, and the public kept in
the dark as far as possible.
Do you remember that when the
management of the A. & N. G. r. R.,
under Democratic control, got In
such a state that the public demand,
cd an investigation, that the investi'
cation was made by Democratic
committee behind closed doors, and
the report was never given to the
public, Notwithstanding the examina
ton was held at the expense Of th'
taxpayers Of the State?
Now, this is only one example
we can give others.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1909-09-16

The following from a recent issue
of the Durham Herald, Democratic.
shows the right disposition:
We are in favor of free wood
pulp, but We are willing for the
other fellow to have his. too"
The Democratic members In Con-
gress were more selfish than the
Herald. They wanted protection on
articles made in their sections, but
didn't want the people who lived In
another district or State to have any
protection on the articles they pro-
duced Their position was very self
ish, and reminds us of the man who
prayed that it might rain on his farm
and not on his neighbors, so he
would have the best crop. The DEM
ocratic politicians should learn to
love their neighbors as they do them
selves-and If they do it will certain
ly be a lovable time in this country.

SOME BRYAN TALK.

Mr.. Bryan has been heard from
again. In speech In Dallas, Texas,
Monday night he said that Senators
and Congressman should be bound
by party platforms. and suggested a
platform on which Democracy should
stand with regard to the tariff. He
wants the Democrats to again en-
dorse the tariff platform of the last
National Democratic platform. How
can he ask the leaders to endorse
what they have just repudiated!
The Peerless One says that to violate
q platform in letter or In spirit ia
not only undemocratic but repugnant
to the principles Of representative
government and an embezzlement of
power.
How can Bryan hope for q re-
nomination when he talks 10 about
the representatives Of his party9

THE SOUTH POLE NEXT.

Since the discovery of the North
Pole other explorers have decided to
make preparations at once for dash
to the South Pole. An Englishman
stated Tuesday that he would start
right away and hoped to beat the
Yankees" to the Southern extrem-
ity. Several expeditions have been
sent out for the purpose of reach
ing the South Pole, but none
reached the goal. Lieutenant Shack
Teton, who made the dash South in
the fall of 1907 went farther South
than any of his predecessors-in fact
got within one hundred and eleven
miles of the South Pole. Since the
discovery of the North Pole attempts
to reach the South Pole will create
greater interest than ever before.
