HAVE WE LOCAL SELF-GOVERN-
MENT?

Capt. F. c. Robbins, of Lexington,
delivered the memorial address in
Winston, May 10th, and in the course
of his remarks, said:
"Yet already the realization has
come that the Civil War established
forever the principle of local self, gov
eminent and gave us liberty"
Without meaning to reflect in any
way upon Capt. Robbins, we would
like to know if it will be necessary
to have another war in order to keep
the Democratic party in this State
from infringing on our rights of To-
cal self-government? We hope not.
1t would be better to turn them out
and put party in power that be-
lieves in the principle of local self
government. In almost every Re
publican county In the State the
Democratic politicians have destroy
ed local self-government by the leg
islative appointment of Democratic
officials against the wishes of the
people of said counties. And in near
ly every instance it has caused In
creased burdens upon these counties
by having to pay salaries to super
numerary Democratic officials. The
people much prefer to manage their
local affairs instead of having objec.
tionable officials hoisted upon them
by every Democratic Legislature.

Large Bank Account.

The following witnesses, connect
ed with Greensboro banks, to show
Judge Adams deposits and interest
bearing certificates, were examined
by defendants counsel, in an effort
to show that after Judge Adams re-
turned from Oklahoma, or in 1905,
his bank dealings were much greater
than before he left: e. L. Sides,
cashier Of the Greensboro Loan and
Trust Company; G. F. Cline, cashier
of the City National Bank; C. r.
Williams, receiver of the City Ma
tional Bank; and w. E. Allen, Of the
Greensboro Loan and Trust Company.
The records of the banks were ex-
amined and the sums total stated.

testified that Judge Adams general
reputation was good.

THE FEDERAL JUDGESHIP.

We have received many inquiries
as to why President Taft finally de-
cided to appoint a Democratic Judge
for the Eastern District Of this State.
This question we are unable to an
swer to a certainty. We are very
sorry that he thought 1t necessary
to go outside of the Republican par
ty to make the appointment. The
President has grievously misapplied
his great principle as to elevating the
Judiciary above partisan politics, be-
cause we have several Republican
lawyers in the Eastern District the
equal, If not the superior, of Judge
Conner in every qualification for the
position.
1t will be noted in a special to
the Charlotte Observer, which is re-
printed elsewhere in this issue, that
a number of Republicans in this
State have written letters to the Sen
ate Committee protesting against the
confirmation of Judge Conner on the
ground that his appointment is a pc.
litical mistake.
