REPUBLICAN, SPLIT.

Senator Cummins, of Iowa,
saws he is in the fight to the
finish against the Aldrich and
his crowd of trust fosterers. But
MIR. Bryan doesn't think him
''progressive'' enough. The
Commoner says:
Senator Cummins, speaking
as the representative of the pro-
gressive republicans, has d<clar~
ed war against the Aldrich
crowd. That sounds good but
the articles Of war do not go far
enough. The Senator thinks
that alEdepends- on the PER
SONNET of the republican or
ganization. He is mistaken.
The organization is a means to
an end. Unless the, new Or
ganization means to do some
thing for the relief of the people
a change from an Aldrich organi-
cation to Cummins organization
will mean nothing more than a
transfer of salaries from 'one
crowd to the other.
What does the Cummins organi-
zation propose to do?
Will it give us free lumber and
cheaper homes? Will it give us
free wool and cheaper clothing!
Will it reduce the cotton SEIZED
ule and proceed with reductions
until a revenue basis is reached!
If, after this winters expert
ence, Senator Cummins still in
sists that the tariff must be re-
formed by those who believe in
using the taxing power for the
purpose of protecting those in
terests which can secure the~ear
of congress he will prove a blind
leader of the blind. Still the
fact that he wants to fight is q
good sign. Even if he does not &C
far enough to make his fight eff
fective he may encourage a spirit
of independence among republi-
cans and other republicans may
go further in than he is now
willing to go. Another sign of
his weakness is his eulogy of the
president. He will find the
president with the Aldrich re-
publicans and he cannot make
much Roadway"

We very greatly regret the
death, recently, of Mr.. Thomas
M. Huffman, a well-known law
yer of Hickory, which came sud-
denly on a Raleigh-bound sleep
ing car at Greensboro as the re-
suit of an overdose Of morphine.
1t is said that he was addicted
to the drug habit, some NOR
phine tablets being found in his
grip, but whether the overdose
was taken with suicidal intent is
not known. Mr.. Huffman was
an exceedingly brilliant man at
the bar and possessed a high de-
gree of literary talent. He fire.
quently contributed to the Raj
eigh and Charlotte papers and
his articles were keenly read by
thousands of people throughout
the state. The drink, drug and
cigarette habits are each claim
inga host of victims annually
and the death of Mr. Huffman
should serve as a warning to
young men everywhere who are
inclined to the use of either of
the evils mentioned.

IMPORTANT CONVENTION.

On October 5, 6, and z there
will be held, at Asheville, a good
roads convention the object of
which will be to provide ways
and means for the construction
of 200 to 300 miles of improved
roads through the Southern Ap-
~palachian mountains, with con-
Meeting roads extending down
into the Piedmont section of Vir-
ginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia and Tennes-
see.
This convention is called by
the North Carolina Good Roads
Association, the East Tennessee
Good Roads Association and
the Geological and Economic
Survey of North Carolina. This
is certainly title enough to war
rant a result something akin to
success and a cordial invitation
is extended to the public genera
ally, while good roads organiza-
tons are especially requested
to send representatives.

HENDERsoNvILLE, N, c,
DECENTRALIZATION
NOT THE ISSUE.

A special in the Charlotte
Observer from Ashevillea says
that National Republican Commit
teeman Carl Duncan was in the
city on Saturday. Asked ABOUT
matters political he said: Demo
cracy is fast approaching a state
of hopeless decentralization, both
in the state and in the nation,
etc., which was, of course, his
way of switching the inquiry
away from any of the doings of
his own party. Granting that
his statement is true-which
of course every body knows is
distinctly untrue-the democrat
ic party, at that, is yet in a much
more enviable position than the
republicans. They are not ap-
proaching-they have already
arrived at a state much worse
than HOPELESS decentralization, and
have been caught in the act-a
state of monopoly-coddling tariff
raising, money-spending, prom
ise-breaking wickedness as
could never before be laid at any
party's door. The people asked
for bread and have been given a
a stone.
The day of excusing the acts
of one party by a reference to
the condition of the other has
passed, and the sooner Mr.. Dun
can and the balance of the Re-
publican evaders find it out, the
better it will be for them. This
, from the Charlotte Observer,
puts the story in a nut shell:
The Republican party has VIC
lated it's pledge to revise the
tariff honestly Few except those
partisans upon whom rests an
unhappy necessity are heard en-
tering any denial. Senator AL
drich spares his conscience fur
Their strain, and Speaker Cannon,
among whose faults Hypocrisy
is least, only claims that the
party kept faith according to
certain statesmen's construction
of the platform-a construction
never heard Of until after the ell
ection had passed into history.
Many Republican Congressman,
repudiating the performance
with voice and vote, have gone
nome to constituents even more
indignant than themselves. In
the West there are loud threats
of session from the Republican
party and independent action for
honest government"
The Observer speaks the can
did truth and it seems reason
able to assume that the party
nearest to the point of demorali-
zation is the trust-ridden combi-
nation of hypocrisy called the
republican party. Democrats
are nearer together at present,
upon national issues, than they
have been at any time during
the past thirteen years, while
the republicans are beset by
many troubles, and divisions
galore.

from the picture what the shade

But it's mighty swell after you

Wouldn't you be moved by a
