speech With the following significant

speech with the following signinean1
words:
In the great aght OF the pee
pie 10 drive the special interests
from the domination OF our
Government the Nation 10
stronger and It's Jurisdiction
more effective than that OF any
State"
This expression was greeted with
tremendous applause at the Conven-
ton and seemed TO forecast the posi-
ton that Congress would take. One
thing seems TO be certain. however.
and that Is that no matter what po-
sition Congress takes. the view ex-
pressed By Colonel Roosevelt will be
endorsed by the overwhelming senti-
ment OF the West.
In this connection it Is interesting
to note that Colonel Roosevelt In a
speech a few days before. expressed
the greatest pleasure and satisfac-
ton that President Taft had on just
the day previous to his speech, an
nounced that he was in favor Of the
creation OF a tariff commission that
would Investigate accurately the diff
ference in the cost of production
here and abroad, and. having Sc
cured such scientific information, to
proceed TO revise the tariff, one
the facts thus officially gathered.
Colonel Roosevelt said that it was
clear to his mind that this was the
only rational and scientific way in
which the tariff should be revised,
and he further said that it was clear
to his mind that it should be revised
in many schedules as early as posi-
BILE.
Thus it will be seen that in the
two matters, that are to-day attract
ing more prominently the attention
of the people. that there is no real
difference or antagonism between
President Taft and Colonel Roose-
Welt. Colonel Roosevelt is a reform
er and a leader of men. President
Taft is great jurist who celebrates
and acts after the most mature de-
liberation. We predict that when
the next Congress meets, President
Taft in his messages to Congress
will show himself in full harmony
with the views expressed by Colonel
Roosevelt as to the conservation of
natural resources.
One thing is certain, and that is,
that these two great American citi-
zens are both striving to the same
end, and even if they should differ
in methods, or one should be slight
ly in the lead of the other on one or
more questions, that their joint eff
forts will produce a common result
that will rebound to the welfare and
prosperity of our whole people.

The Wilmington Star. In an ed
itorial. says:
If the South has had its share
OF prosperity under Republican
administrations without having
supported the Republican party.
IL can continue 10 be prosperous
by not being Republican The
Southern States can make sure
OF decent State government un-
der the Democracy and at the
same time enjoy prosperity equal
TO that OF any other portion OF
the country
This is a confession on the part OF
the Wilmington. Star that the State
and the whole South is prospecting
under the wise, progressive and
beneficent policies Of the Republican
party, and also a confession that it
is willing to enjoy such prosperity
without contributing anything to
support the great political organiza-
ton that deserves the credit for the
same.
The Star, by way Of arguing the
question, says that the Democrats
can enjoy the Republican prosperity,
but We must vote the Democratic
State ticket to have decent State
government"
The editor of the Wilmington Star
should know, and if it does not, the
intelligent voters of the State know,
that the majority of the Republican
party to-day in North Carolina are
men who were born and raised in
the Democratic party, and who have
been forced to leave that party be-
cause of its policy of inaction and
negation, and also because of it's
failure to keep it's promises and give
good State government.
The Star also knows, and if it does
not, the majority of the voters of the
State know, that North Carolina,
when it goes Republican. as it will
do this election, will be composed of
membership of the very highest
class citizenship Of the State, two
thirds or three-fourths of whom were
born in the Democratic party, and
who have felt it their patriotic duty
to leave that party, for the reasons
named above, and for many other
reasons unnecessary here to enum-
crate. Therefore, it is clear that
when North Carolina goes Republi-
can in November, that the party will
be controlled by live, progressive
and sturdy citizenship. which form.
erly was the most virile and progress
sive element of the Democratic par.
ty, and which has joined the Repub.
lican party because they want to see
our great State, with it's great re.
sources, get in line with the great
national party of progress and pros
perity, and because they want tt
see a State administration in har
mony with the Republican nationa
administration, which will mean 81
much for the future growth ant
progress of our State and South
land.

1T is SAFE FOR THE PEOPLE
TO HAVE"

If the editor of the Wilmington
Star is not more guarded in his ed
itorial utterances, he will probably be
muzzled, or at least disciplined by the
Simmons Democratic machine.
That paper, in an editorial under
the heading, Local Self Govern
ment," says: 1.-THE people want all
the local self-government that It is
safe for them to have"
This statement is typical of the
Democratic position with reference to
the rule of the people. The ring
bosses of the Democratic party do not
think that the people in each local
ity are capable of determining how
far they are capable of local self
government. They have proven this
by denying from time to time the
right of the people to control their
local affairs in certain respects.
Having once begun to violate the
great fundamental principle of the
rule of the people, the Democratic
bosses have continued from year to
year to abridge that right until now
the Democratic machine absolutely
refuses to agree that the people shall
have the right of local self-govern-
ment, except as the Democratic ma
chine thinks cit is safe for them to
have it. The Democratic doctrine,
as announced by the Star, is exactly
the rule of action which every king
and despot in the old world has
adopted. Their position always has
been and always will be that some
superior power, some Car or despot
or central star chamber ring must de-
termine just how far it is safe to let
the people rule.
The Star, continuing its editorial,
says:
The different interpretations
put upon local self-government
by different Republicans in the

the real cat in the meal tub

TAFT AND ROOSEVELT

There has been much speculation
since President Taft and Colonel
Roosevelt were both billed to speak
at the great convention TO consider
the conservation OF natural resources
at st. Paul, which was in session
since last Monday week as to the po-
litical outcome. There have been
frequent predictions that there
would be q clash between those two
distinguished Americans in their po-
sitions over this great vital question
that concerns every man, woman,
and child in the country.
President Taft delivered the open
ing speech at the Congress to an
enormous crowd. His speech was
very able and comprehensive review
of the origin and necessity for the
movement toward the conservation of
natural resources. He said that no
one appreciated it's importance, or
would exert greater efforts than he to
conserve the nations welfare for
generations as we'll as for the pres
emit
He gave full credit to former
President Roosevelt for arousing
public sentiment to the Importance
of conservation, and for putting on
foot the first organized movement to
bring about practical results. He
said that our people had been SO
busy developing our great resources
in getting rich, and in encouraging
capital to invest in the development
Of enterprises that we had not taken
time to consider how rapidly, and to
what a wasteful extent, we were ex-
hausting the Nations great natural
wealth, giving away not only val
liable coal and timber, but also CIV
ing away valuable waterways which
went permanently into the hands of
a monopoly and put the people who
should share the benefits of such
powers at the mercy of small COM
binations of capital.
President Taft expressed great re-
OF -
and said that no effort should be
spared to see to it that in the flu
ture only such natural resources
were used as the present generation
needed and that all else should be
conserved for the future.
The President closed his admira
BILE speech, however, with the state
ment that there were two sets OF
views among the delegates to the
Congress as to how to accomplish
these results; that one set thought
that the States should be left BY
the National Government to protect
the interests of the people in the
matters of conservation, while an
other set thought that conservation
could only be successfully carried
out by the National Government.
The President did not express an,
view as to these Numerically di
verging positions, but said that b,
would consider the matter and sub
nit the views of both sides, with hi
recommendations, to Congress.
Colonel Roosevelt arrived at tn,
Convention on Tuesday morning an,
was greeted by as great enthusiasm
as that which had greeted the Presi
dent. In his address he espresso,
pleasure and satisfaction at tn
broad and progressive views express
ed by the President, in his speecl
on the day before, on the great ques
tioH Of conservation, but he too
square issue with those who contend
under the cry of Estates rights,
that the National Government ha
no business to interfere with tn
States In the matter of protectin
the great natural resources of tn
country.

REMARKABLY RECORD" OF
"GOOD LEGISLATION"

The Washington Post, in comment
ng upon President Taft's letter re
iewing the work of his administra
ion, says:
president Taft's letter to
Chairman Mckinley must be ad-
mitted, even by the opposition,
to be a strong campaign docu-
ment. It is by far the best pre-
sentation of the Republican po-
sition that has appeared. -.
"Mr. Taft strikes the right
note in his dual role as President
and party leader when he advo-
Gates the election of Republicans
without regard to insurgency.
His tolerance and broad-minded-
edness will go far toward restor-
ing harmony in the party.
'"The Presidents fiat-fooded
declaration of intention to revise
the tariff by the consideration Of
particular schedules, to the ex-
clusion of other schedules for
the time being, is sure to arouse
opposition from over-protected
interests. Already some of these
interests are raising objections
to the 'piece-meal' Or 'pop-gun'
plan Of revision, on the ground
that such revision will be inces-
SAINT, with consequent disturb
ance Of business because Of un-
certainty as to tariff rates. Con-
gress, however, has practically
decided upon further revision by
its action in creating the tariff
board, and possibly revision by
separate schedules may be ac-
complished with less disturbance
than revision Of the whole tariff.
The Republican leader, at any
rate, makes this the policy of the
party, and the campaigners must
fight it out along that line.
1.-THE President lays stress up
on the most fortunate feature of
the Republican position-the
record OF good legislation al
ready enacted during his admin
istration. 1t Is remarkable rec
ord, of which Mr.. Taft may we'll
be proud; and 1t is the best rea-
son that can be advanced for
keeping the Republicans in pow
er."
This is the view of the remarkab
record Of achievements of the fir
year OF President Taft's administr
ton by one Of the leading indepel
dent newspapers OF the nation.

The Reflector says editorially:
"Pitt County has held another

does not like the kind of pri-
maries that have been held
here, and believes that many
people Of the county are Of the
